Chapter 786 Aren't you on the receiving end of a gun?
“Professor Chang, why aren't you angry at all?”
Looking at Chang Haonan, who had no expression of anger on his face, Liu Chenchen felt that he couldn't hold himself any longer, so he immediately put his hands on his hips:
“This article is aimed at you throughout…”
Chang Haonan couldn't say that I had seen better writing in my previous life, so he could only wave his hand:
“This article is not directed at me, nor even at Torch Lab. It is just used as a primer.”
In fact, if the author of this article really knew the situation of Torch Labs and Chang Haonan himself, I am afraid he would not dare to touch this porcelain.
After all, if they really have the courage,
The other party obviously only saw some fragments from the announcement issued by Beijing Hang University, and then he imagined a plot of "the director of the laboratory colluded with the school and state-owned enterprises to harm the public and enrich private interests", and wrote a short essay and posted it.
In fact, anyone who needs to take a look at Chang Haonan's resume on the Torch Lab's homepage will know that the content written in this article is completely different from the actual situation.
But let alone 1999 when the Internet had not yet expanded, even in 2019 in the 5G era, it was impossible for a few people to specifically verify it.
But it doesn't matter.
Just as Chang Haonan was about to speak, the phone on the corner of his desk suddenly rang.
“But even so, he still discredited our laboratory and Jinghang University!”
So, he has been doing what he can to improve the disadvantages of public opinion without affecting his main business.
Although it is not entirely the work of a magazine, it at least contributed to it.
However, the call this time was not from the confidential line, but from the outside phone.
Being not angry does not mean that Chang Haonan is not prepared to solve the problem.
She just feels that these rumors cannot be allowed to spread unchecked:
“Hello, hello, I'm Chang Haonan.”
This is also the key reason why many rumors are obviously of low quality but can spread for a long time.
In the past, quality problems were exposed for Japanese brands in Europe. When word-of-mouth declined, Chang Haonan registered the name "Double Tree" several years in advance, and then handed it over to the Science and Technology Commission to take charge of operations. The main content was also a short composition. , is just a short foreign composition, which is equivalent to using magic to fight magic.
The people of this era are more accepting of funny jokes and chicken soup for the soul than Chang Haonan imagined. As for the hidden meaning behind these contents, not many people care.
Although debating scriptures cannot directly change the material world, as a person who has experienced it, Chang Haonan knows very well that if it is left unchecked, it will have a relatively large negative impact on the entire society.
Liu Chenchen was stunned for a moment, then said hello and left the office first.
As a person who lived at the turn of the century, Liu Chenchen did not have much idea about this, let alone imagine that the writing and publishing of this type of articles were organized and planned.
"I think…"
Some traces can even be found in textbooks.
Of course, this is similar to Chang Haonan's idea.
The reason why this form works so well is because its influence is subtle.
At least judging from the sales of "Double Tree", the effect should be good -
For example, in the past two years, Chang Haonan has clearly felt that the level of superstition among the people towards Japanese products has decreased a lot.
“Professor Chang, it's me, Tang Lintian.”
The relationship between Principal Tang and Chang Haonan happens to be stuck on a standard line.
For those with a higher level of confidentiality than him, all calls with Chang Haonan are confidential.
Those with a lower classification level than him cannot get into secret machines at all and can only use outside lines.
Tang Lintian himself, in principle, needs to choose according to the situation - the confidential line is a very valuable contact method and needs to be kept open as much as possible. It is impossible for you to use it to talk about irrelevant things or talk on the phone.
After announcing his identity, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he spoke:
"Professor Chang, the school's publicity department has discovered that there are some rumors about the Torch Laboratory not meeting the implementation conditions. Now it has sent people to find a way to deal with it. I will let people explain the details later."
Do you think this is a coincidence?
“Principal Tang, I think I know what you are talking about.” Chang Haonan turned his attention back to the newspaper on his desk:
“Let's talk about why China cannot produce world-class scientific results. That's the article in the Nancheng News, right?”
Hearing that his voice was not as angry as expected, but rather smiling, Tang Lintian on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously and tentatively:
“Then what…Professor Chang, you also…saw it?”
Chang Haonan smiled angrily because he was obviously worried.
“Well... the administrative secretary of our laboratory just showed me this newspaper.”
Chang Haonan's mentality is quite stable.
“Professor Chang, don't worry, I have explained the situation to my superior unit and will notify them of the withdrawal of the manuscript as soon as possible…”
Tang Lintian's actions were indeed very fast, but his solution was a bit blunt.
This time is not an online media. In the era of paper media, what is the use of just asking people to retract articles?
Therefore, Chang Haonan quickly stopped:
"Hey, don't, don't, don't, don't… This was written in the newspaper, and it has been published. Even if the article is withdrawn, what should be seen has already been seen. On the contrary, it makes people feel that there is no three hundred taels of silver here."
As the famous social activist Humphrey Appleby said.
“Only official denials are credible.”
For the majority of the melon-eaters, it may have been just for fun at first, but if they see another retraction statement, the topic will become full.
Tang Lintian was stunned after hearing this, and obviously realized that what Chang Haonan said was reasonable:
"But... you can't refuse to respond, right? If this matter gets fermented, it will have a negative impact on the school, the laboratory, and Professor Chang yourself."
“The response must be a response.”
Chang Haonan said in a deep voice:
“We must pressure them from their superiors to retract the article. Moreover, they must not only retract the article, but also require the other party to issue a public apology.”
"That…"
Tang Lintian was interrupted just as he finished speaking:
"but not now."
Hearing what Chang Haonan said, Tang Lintian, who was originally upset, suddenly calmed down—
Every time the former expresses his position like this, he already has a perfect plan in mind.
Therefore, he did not answer the call and just waited for Chang Haonan's further explanation.
“Didn't that article say that we can't produce equivalent R&D results?”
Chang Haonan smiled and glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the computer screen:
“Exactly, if we count the days, our laboratory should be able to come up with some influential results before long...”
If it were normal, this matter would actually not be easy to solve.
Although not all Torch Laboratory projects are classified, most of the results are difficult to disclose either due to confidentiality or commercial reasons.
But it was just a coincidence.
Chang Haonan's paper proving two lemmas in the field of differential geometry will be officially published later this month.
The first completion unit is the Torch Laboratory.
And "Annals of Mathematics" still has some status in the world of theoretical mathematics...
Since Chang Haonan published the paper quietly, Tang Lintian didn't know that he had done a big job at this time.
It's just that for the latter, if Chang Haonan can express “influential” results, I'm afraid there will be a lot of movement.
Therefore, feel at ease completely:
"Then... I will stay put for now and wait until Professor Chang's results come out."
“There's one more thing, Principal Tang.”
Since someone happened to bump into the muzzle of his gun, Chang Haonan was not prepared to let him go easily:
"You should find someone to write an article. The style should be similar to the article in the newspaper. The theme should be to criticize the Nancheng News for its fraud and fraud. It completely ignores the objectivity of the media. In short, it should be as satirical as possible. After the other side withdraws the article, it will be published. !”
