NOVPUBIf it involves malicious false reporting, the real-name reporter will be permanently deprived of the right to log in and be listed in the candidate column, and will be publicized on the official website's blacklist interface. The finalists who successfully pass the publicity period will be officially confirmed as winners on the award announcement day.
3. The award announcement day is currently tentatively set as the day Mr. Andre passed away, to commemorate Mr. Andre's sacrifice for the unfair evaluation of academia. The prize money will tentatively be set at 8 million RMB, referring to the Nobel Prize, with the specific amount fluctuating based on the price and exchange rate levels of the year, to ensure that the total amount of prize money received by scientists is not less than that of the Nobel Prize.
4. Medal design plan: The medal will be made entirely of gold, possibly incorporating other materials, weighing about 100 grams. The obverse features the relief of a father and mother, representing the initiators and donors of the award, and also includes all elements of the five awards.
The reverse side will depict the orbit of the main celestial bodies in the Solar System, with a book below, signifying that human civilization will surely conquer the universe through knowledge."
As Dou Dou finished speaking, the medal design that was a preliminary draft popped up on Qiao Ze's monitor.
Su Lixing looked closely at the obverse of the medal designed by Dou Dou, hmm... what can I say, it was obvious that Dou Dou knew how to play to the gallery. Her own daughter's likeness was quite accurate, almost a hundred percent restoration.
However, when depicting Qiao Ze, Dou Dou clearly used a tactful approach common in painting, making Qiao Ze's features softer and much more handsome, lacking his usual indifferent demeanor, and adding a touch of refined scholarly air.
But Dou Dou clearly didn't intend to let these people point fingers at its medal design, only showing the image for a few seconds before continuing to display the text it was explaining.
"5. The initial funds for the award will be provided by Dou Dou, who will establish and manage a separate award foundation to ensure the fairness of the award, refusing any donations from groups or individuals. In the extreme event that the foundation's funds fall below 30% of the initial funds, money will be allocated from the profits of the new materials model to replenish the initial fund size.
6. The award is proposed to be named Qiaoze Natural Science Award. It is named after my father to leverage his considerable influence in the fields of mathematics and physics. In the initial phase, it aims to have more scientists recognize and participate in the selection system for the award.
These are the preliminary operational concepts for the Qiaoze Natural Academic Award. I have asked my grandfather to invest because the savings of my parents are not enough now, with a shortfall of 2.9 billion. I have invited my uncle in hopes that he could provide possible constructive suggestions, to identify and fill in any gaps."
The little speaker finally quieted down.
Xu Dajiang also subconsciously glanced at Su Lixing.
Well, the reason for inviting the grandfather is really good, actually no need to bring a bag, just a signed check will do.
Having already set such detailed rules demonstrates that Dou Dou has essentially drafted the articles of association, and this initiative is definitely going to move forward.
With the execution power of Qiaozhi and Dou Dou, Xu Dajiang has no doubt that within at most a week, the official website for the Qiaoze Natural Academic Award will officially go live.
"Ahem, 2.9 billion, right? No problem, but this money can't be transferred directly to your account. The specific steps should be you first establishing the foundation, and then having Xilin Licheng directly allocate funds to the award foundation's account; I have no other objections."
After Su Lixing spoke, he offered no further opinions.
2.9 billion is not a big number for Xilin Licheng right now.
As Su Mucheng said, Xilin Licheng hasn't paid dividends to Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng for half a year not because the account was out of money, but because the two children already had enough money on their hands and had nowhere to spend it, making it completely unnecessary to continue paying quarterly dividends as before.
Establishing a world-class award is certainly something that Su Lixing is willing to support.
And he supports it wholeheartedly.
Not to mention that this sum was originally supposed to be the distributed dividends; even if it required him to pay out of pocket, he would do it gladly.
As for Xu Dajiang, after much contemplation, he cautiously asked, "I have no objections to anything else, but should our Qiaoze Natural Science Award also be officially affiliated with the Xi Lin Mathematics Institute? Having a formal institution to operate it can enhance its credibility."
The institute can't possibly bring up the institute itself.
After all, Qiao Ze has stated that he doesn't want anyone else's money.
In Xu Dajiang's view, the Mathematical Research Institute is bound to eventually become independent of Xilin University of Technology and develop into an individual advanced research institution.
Similar to the relationship between the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Princeton University.
In the future, under his leadership and with the help of Qiao Ze, the School of Mathematics may well become a unique entity within the university.
"In name, it can be affiliated with the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute, but the foundation and the institute will not have any actual subordinate relationship, to prevent any ambiguity of rights and responsibilities should my parents choose to leave the institute," Dou Dou answered on behalf of Qiao Ze.
It was indeed watertight.
After a brief surprise, Xu Dajiang immediately understood Qiao's idea; this was probably to prevent a recurrence of past issues.
He replied with a smile, "Having a nominal affiliation is enough, indeed some things need to be safeguarded. But... never mind, it's nothing important."
Xu Dajiang initially thought that changing the award ceremony day to another date might be better to avoid the impression of pandering.
But realizing that it was Dou Dou who made the decision, he assumed there was a deeper meaning behind it and simply refrained from making any suggestions.
"You fully agree with my plan?"
"Honestly, I have not been involved in setting up a world-class science award before. But I believe that if there are any flaws, they will be revealed in the actual operation. People will be tolerant of a new science award. We can try to operate it first, and if there are problems, we can then revise the rules."
In fact, the rules of any award are not set in stone. Even the Nobel Prize has evolved over time. But I think there should be a resounding slogan. For instance, Nobel's will specified that the prize should be awarded to those who conferred the greatest benefit to humankind, which has become the nominal purpose and founding principle of the Nobel Award."
After finishing, Xu Dajiang turned his gaze to Qiao Ze.
Clearly, he wanted Qiao Ze to set the tone for this award.
Qiao Ze thought for a moment and said, "I just hope that every achievement on the list of this grand award will ultimately become the cornerstone of human progress in the future."
"Excellent!" Xu Dajiang exclaimed, slapping his thigh, "You've said it so well! That will be the slogan for the Qiaoze Natural Science Award, and as for the principles, just three words: fairness, fairness, and more fairness!"
