The Rise of Australia

Chapter 81 The future is still the present (please subscribe!)

Speaking of scientific research awards, Arthur instantly thought of the Nobel Prize, which would be very famous in later generations.

Covering awards in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace, it is one of the most authoritative and international scientific research awards in later generations.

If Arthur remembers correctly, the Nobel Prize, which will be famous in later generations, should be officially awarded this year, that is, in 1901.

Although it is not clear exactly when, it can be concluded from the reaction of the European scientific research community that the Nobel Prize has not been awarded so far.

If Arthur had acted quickly, he might not have been able to create and award his own award before the first Nobel Prize was awarded, replacing the status of the Nobel Prize in later generations.

The Nobel Prize was created according to the will of the famous Swedish chemist, Alfred Bernhard Nobel.

Nobel used most of his inheritance to establish the Nobel Prize. This fund is worth about two million pounds. In this era when the per capita annual income in Europe is only a few dozen pounds, this fund is of great benefit to everyone. It's a huge sum of money.

This is why the Nobel Prize has quickly become one of the most prestigious awards in the world's scientific research community.

Even the winner of the first Nobel Prize could receive a bonus worth twenty years' salary of a senior Swedish professor at that time, which was at least 150,000 Swedish kronor.

If you win one award, you can get at least twenty years of salary. Any normal person will be excited, let alone those scientists who are troubled by the financial chain.

"Any specific plans?" Arthur asked.

Creating awards is definitely an effective method, especially when the major awards in later generations are not established and famous.

As long as you can invest a large amount of money and carry out large-scale publicity in Europe. The newly established award will definitely become a sought-after award throughout the European scientific research community in a short period of time.

"Your Highness, our purpose is to attract people to Australia, and Australia currently has a shortage of talents in all aspects. Therefore, my suggestion is that we cannot just focus on the scientific research community. Research in other areas as long as it is useful to the country is also eligible to receive awards. . We create a more authoritative and orthodox award, and then subdivide it into many small awards in various aspects. It will be issued annually or every six months to reward all contributors around the world." Hunter Steward He smiled and said: "Believe me, Your Highness. As long as people know that the prize money of the award is higher than their lifetime salary, even an idiot can come up with something."

No one would turn down a large sum of money that they would never earn in their lifetime. Even those scientists who only know about scientific research will worry about insufficient research funds, so they will be tempted by this funding.

What's more, once the newly established awards become famous and authoritative around the world, the fame that comes with winning the awards will be a temptation that no one can refuse.

The double harvest of fame and fortune is an invincible temptation that no one in the world can refuse.

According to the current per capita income in Europe, most civilians have an annual income of less than fifty pounds.

Professors and scientists who have made some achievements in scientific research also have annual incomes of hundreds to one thousand pounds.

Only those who are particularly capable, or who have founded their own companies to achieve revenue, can increase their annual income to more than one thousand pounds.

"That's a good proposal, Butler Hunter. If I fully support it, when will the earliest official announcement of the awards begin?" Arthur nodded and asked with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, Australia is too far away from Europe. It is conservatively estimated that our award will not be officially awarded until at least half a year, that is, around October." Butler Hunter estimated for a while and replied.

Half a year is actually not that long. After all, the shortest voyage between Australia and Europe is only one month.

However, establishing the award in Australia also has a significant disadvantage, that is, because it is too far away from Europe, it is difficult to cause a sensation throughout Europe.

"Butler Hunter, how about we create an award in Europe first? By creating an award in Europe, we can receive applications from scientists faster, and it will cause a stronger sensation in the European scientific research community. When we establish the award in After Europe has gained a certain prestige and authority, we are moving the award review body to Australia." Arthur asked with a smile.

After all, Europe is now the center of the world. If a newly established award wants to quickly gain authority, fame and recognition from others, then establishing it in Europe is a good choice.

Australia is still a wild land in the eyes of Europe, and awards created in Australia are at a disadvantage compared to European awards.

Even if Arthur offers a more generous financial award than other awards, it will not be easy to gain recognition from the entire European scientific research community.

But creating it first in Europe is different. European awards will be recognized by Europeans, and huge financial awards will accelerate progress.

After the award created by Arthur became an authoritative award recognized by the scientific research community around the world, even if this award was established in savage Africa, it would still be the most authoritative award.

This is just like the capitalists of later generations who tried their best to cater to the public during the stage of seizing the market, even if they lost their own interests.

After successfully occupying the market and becoming the dominant player in a certain industry, he will have the final say in the entire market.

Even if all the previous losses are recovered by then, no one will say no. Because those who are qualified to say no have already died in the process of occupying the market, and the rest can only accept it.

"Establishing it in Europe will quickly enhance the reputation of the awards we have established, and Europeans will also recognize our awards more. But our plan to quickly enhance Australia's status in the minds of scientists has come to nothing. We want to make those I'm afraid it will take several years for scientists to immigrate to Australia on their own." Butler Hunter frowned and replied.

This is a problem where you can't have your cake and eat it too. It is a difficult choice whether to quickly increase the recognition of the award in the minds of Europeans or to immediately take advantage of the benefits that the award can bring to Australia and attract more scientist immigrants to Australia.

Because the first option may not be unable to realize the benefits of the second option, but the disadvantage is that you have to wait longer.

Australia is now in the golden stage of development. Any time wasted will be a heavy loss for Australia.

"It doesn't matter, Butler Hunter. We have to take a longer-term view. Although in the short term, establishing the award in Australia is more conducive to Australia's immigration attraction plan. But it is different to establish the award in Europe and then move there. Can the same purpose be achieved? The changes that a recognized award can bring to Australia are definitely not the ones that can be brought about by a hastily established award. What we need is a large number of immigrants over a long period of time, not a few in a short period of time. Immigrate, isn't it?" Arthur said with a smile as he made his final decision.

Second update, please support! I still feel a little uncomfortable and don't know what's going on. I will try my best to write another chapter, please support me!
