Chapter 126 Building momentum
In the cafeteria, several exchange students gathered together and were discussing Zhang Wei's thesis.

"Have you heard? The paper Zhang Weigang just published was bought with money!"

"Who said it? Huang from South Korea or Arjun from India? There is not much truth in these two people's mouths."

"Yeah, don't you think about it, can a top-notch paper be bought with money?"

"Isn't this the case in recent times? I don't think it's unreasonable!"

"I heard that it was because Huang Junji of South Korea was jealous that Zhang Wei had published a paper and deliberately spread rumors."

"I don't think so! It's not impossible to say that Zhang Wei's paper is fake. Anyway, I can't trust the Chinese. I bought a toaster imported from China before, and it broke after only three months of use!"

"Huang Junji's doubts are reasonable. "ACM Computing Survey" is the world's top computer science journal. Many professors cannot publish papers in it. How can Zhang Wei, a college student, publish a paper in "ACM Computing Survey" ?There must be something wrong with this.”

Huang Junji said that Zhang Wei's paper was bought with money, which would be a lie at a glance.

How can money buy a paper of this level?

Recalling that Huang Junji also published a paper before, it is easy to guess that Xiao Xiba deliberately discredited Zhang Wei out of jealousy.

But there is no shortage of conspiracy theorists in the world. Despite what others say, some people really think that how can Zhang Wei, a college student, write such a high-level paper? There must be something wrong with this.

There are also some people, like Huang Junji, who are just jealous.

We are all exchange students, why can you publish a paper while I can only watch helplessly?

Jealousy changes people beyond recognition. Those who are jealous want to see Zhang Wei overturn! Even if they know that Huang Junji is spreading rumors, they are still happy to spread rumors. If anyone checks other things, they will say that they heard Huang Junji say it and ignore themselves completely.

Zhang Wei, however, had no reaction and allowed the rumors to spread.

Zhang Wei has experienced the self-media era in the future, and of course he knows how to start rumors and then refute them.

In the face of people who spread baseless rumors, as long as the matter does not become a big deal, there is no need to tit for tat, just deal with it coldly. Once the heat is over, things will be over.

Think about many popular events in later generations, aren't they all handled coldly?
When the incident first appeared, it was hotly debated across the Internet. It was at the top of various hot search lists, and self-media also came to take advantage of the popularity. But as soon as the storm passed, there were still a few people paying attention, and in the end it was nothing.

If you need to explain something, punish yourself with three cups of wine, or slap your palms three times, and it will be over.

If you have to fight to the death with the rumor mongers, it will be a waste of time and money. Even if you win the lawsuit, you may not even get an apology in the end. But what people remember is based on the rumors of the past.

If you have that time and money, why not defeat magic with magic!

Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a lawsuit, it would be better to spend the same amount of money to flesh out the rumor-mongering people to see if the rumor-mongering people have any black material, and hire some trolls to treat others in their own way, and everyone is hurting each other!

Zhang Wei, on his side, has prepared magic to hurt each other.

As soon as Huang Yuxi came to give a speech at the University of California, Berkeley, Zhang Wei unleashed his ultimate move, which not only ruined Huang Yuxi's reputation, but also killed people!
……

New York, John F. Kennedy International Airport, when Huang Yuxi walked out of the passenger aisle, he saw the person who picked him up, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Professor Huang, I am Cui Donghao, the first secretary of the Korean Embassy! I will be responsible for all your affairs during your stay in the United States!" the receptionist said.

"Hello, Secretary Cui!" Huang Yuxi nodded with satisfaction.

Among the diplomats of the embassy, ​​the first secretary is second only to the ambassador, minister and counselor, and is an important business and official. The first secretary is responsible for the management of key affairs within the embassy, ​​and the heads of departments and offices are also held by the first secretary.

If it is a small or medium-sized embassy, ​​the first secretary can even serve as the second-in-command. Therefore, in the foreign education system, the first secretary is a position with real power.

The Korean Embassy in the United States sent a first secretary to greet Hwang Woo-suk, which is enough to prove that the Korean government attaches great importance to Hwang Woo-suk.

After all, he is a national treasure-level scientist in South Korea. He is regarded as the hope of winning the Nobel Prize by the entire South Korea, so he should naturally hold it in his hands.

The purpose of Hwang Woo-sik's visit to the United States this time is also to build momentum for the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize is usually announced in October every year. In August and September, South Korea's public relations team has already started to move. Even if there is no hope of winning the prize, they still have to find a way to increase their presence, just in case it happens next year!

Hwang Woo-suk's scientific research results of cloning human embryonic stem cells are truly qualified to win the Nobel Prize, so comprehensive public relations are needed.

In August, Huang Yuxi had already traveled around Europe and visited many well-known scholars, many of whom were Nobel Prize winners. He also gave lectures at some well-known universities and became familiar with them.

Now that Huang Yuxi has come to the United States, he is planning to do the same thing. He will visit well-known scholars and give lectures at universities to increase his presence and build momentum for his Nobel Prize nomination.

In addition to academic exchanges, South Korea's public relations team has also prepared big moves. They have spent money hiring writers and plan to promote Hwang Woo-suk in various media. I hope to use the power of public opinion to build a reputation for Huang Yuxi.

Secretary Cui handed a schedule to Huang Yuxi, and then said: "Professor Huang, I originally planned to let you take a day off to catch up on the jet lag, but there were some temporary changes in the schedule.

The original plan was for us to go to Harvard the day after tomorrow, but we just received news that the President of the United States, Mr. George W. Bush, will visit Harvard University the day after tomorrow.

President George W. Bush graduated from Harvard Business School, so Harvard University is also his alma mater. This time he returned to his alma mater mainly for campaigning, and he will also meet with many scholars. Our embassy has helped you secure a place to meet the President. President George W. Bush will personally meet you when the time comes. So we have to get to Boston tomorrow night! I will go to Harvard early the day after tomorrow to wait for President George W. Bush's visit. "

"You mean, President Bush can meet me!" Huang Yuxi was immediately overjoyed. If he hadn't been sitting in the car, he would have jumped up.

For Koreans, it is a great honor to be received by the President of the United States. This is not only something that can last a lifetime, but also a glory!

When I visit my ancestor's grave, I put the photo of the President of the United States meeting me on the grave like this, which makes even the ribs sleeping in the grave cry with excitement.

In fact, in normal times, the President of the United States would definitely not have time to meet with a bastard from a vassal country like Huang Yuxi.

But 2004 happens to be an election year in the United States, and the election will be held in November, so throughout September and October, President George W. Bush will be jumping around the United States to build momentum for the election.

This is probably the easiest time to meet the President of the United States. Maybe by donating tens of thousands of dollars, you can attend the President's thank-you banquet and shake hands with the President.

The Korean Embassy probably spent a lot of sponsorship money in order to allow President George W. Bush to meet Hwang Woo-suk.

……

Huang Junji was holding a photo and introducing his father to the classmates around him.

"Look, the one on the left is my father, Professor Hwang Woo-suk, the chief scientist of the Republic of Korea!"

In this photo, in addition to Huang Yuxi, there is another person, President George W. Bush of the United States.

The photo was taken when President George W. Bush met with Hwang Woo-suk.

Although when the two met, they just said hello to each other and said something like "it's an honor to meet you". After the meeting, President Bush had most likely forgotten Hwang Woo-suk.

But for Hwang Woo-suk, being able to shake hands and take a photo with President George W. Bush is definitely something he can brag about for a lifetime.

The Korean media can also use this photo to make a big fuss, saying that South Korea's greatest scientist was received by President George W. Bush, and by the way, bragging about how awesome Hwang Woo-suk is, even the President of the United States treats him as a guest, etc.

Of course, Huang Junji couldn't let go of this opportunity. He took the photo of President Bush meeting Huang Yuxi and promoted it everywhere. On the surface, he was using the photo to introduce his father to his classmates. In fact, he was promoting it. His father was received by President George W. Bush.

As expected, after seeing the photo, the classmates showed expressions of admiration.

"The one on the left is your father, and the one on the right seems to be President Bush of the United States!"

"What does it look like? That is President Bush of the United States!"

"Huang Junji, your father is so amazing, he can actually take a photo with President Bush!"

"Your father was able to meet the President of the United States. It seems that he is really an amazing scientist."

Faced with the surprise and praise of his classmates, Huang Junji started to float again.

"My father's research results on cloning human embryonic stem cells are the greatest research results of this century. They will definitely win the Nobel Prize! At the earliest, when the Nobel Prize is announced next month, my father's name may be included! "

"By the way, didn't you say before that your father was going to come to Berkeley to give a speech? Then you have to ask me to come and listen!" said a person next to him.

"I'm going to listen too, don't forget to notify me in advance!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave a few good spots for you when the time comes!" Huang Junji said, patting his chest.

The photo with the President of the United States is really a bonus item. Even though Huang Junji talks about his scientist father all day long, no one pays much attention to it. Who among American college students will pay attention to the movements of a Korean scientist?
But it was different with this photo. Being able to take a photo with President George W. Bush made Hwang Woo-suk's cards instantly full. Everyone also became interested in Hwang Woo-suk's next speech and wanted to listen to it.

"Zhang Wei, do you want to come and listen too? After all, it is not easy to hear the speeches of Nobel Prize-level scholars!" Huang Junji looked at Zhang Wei next to him proudly.

"Do you have a bad memory? When you asked me last time, I told you that you must go and listen!" Zhang Wei smiled slightly and continued: "I just heard you say, can you still reserve a seat?"

"Yes..." Huang Junji was actually not sure, but he had already blown his words out, so it would be shameful to take them back.

"In that case, please save me a seat near the front. The further forward the better, preferably in the first row!" Zhang Wei said.

"This..." Huang Junji hesitated. He might not be able to get a seat in the first row.

"What? You can't even get a seat in the front row of your father's lecture?"

Zhang Wei deliberately showed a disgusted expression, as if to say, you really have no cards!

"Of course I can get a seat in the first row!" Huang Junji snorted, and then said: "I'm afraid that you sit in the first row but don't understand and waste such a good seat!"

"Don't worry, your good intentions won't be wasted!" A sinister look flashed across Zhang Wei's eyes.
