372: The World's Most Influential People Awards Ceremony!

Such an unprecedented grand event, gathering the world's top figures still alive to participate in the awards ceremony. There must be judges or people involved in voting, right? Otherwise, how would the most influential person be determined?

And who would be qualified to be the judges for this grand event?

Su Yu made a bold guess.

Because this involves top global figures, it absolutely cannot be judges from a single country.

That would be unfair, and the final result would lack impartiality.

So, if not judges from one country, then it must be representatives from multiple countries serving as judges.

This is one possible voting method.

Each country could send several representatives to participate in the voting, which would be both convenient and broad in scope.

However, this is still not the best selection method.

From Su Yu's current perspective, the best method would actually be to have all global audiences participate in the voting.

In this way, although the number of votes would reach a terrifying figure, the more votes there are, and the more dispersed they are, the more they can represent the voice of the masses.

This would truly be the Global Most Influential Person Award!

The only thing to note is that if everyone is indeed allowed to vote, then the voting system for collecting votes would need to be completely transparent and open!

And it would need to use the most advanced offline data protection systems for data statistical processing, ensuring that every vote is genuine and that no one can tamper with it or use underhanded tactics.

Of course, all of this is currently just Su Yu's speculation.

As for how the selection will proceed a week later, he still needs to call that mysterious number to inquire about the specific details... In a moment of distraction, Su Yu had already returned to China.

After greeting the global audience, he ended today's live broadcast. Although this broadcast was not long, many viewers were still not satisfied and were somewhat reluctant to see it end.

But there was no choice.

Ending the broadcast was not Su Yu's intention either.

He still had many things to deal with.

First, he needed to clarify the specific details of this so-called Global Most Influential Person Awards Ceremony. Then, there was the all-terrain first generation rice seed technology, which he needed to spend some time teaching to the researchers at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

After today's field trial, countless foreign ministers from various countries had already worn out the doors of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The office phones were online 24 hours a day.

Once these countries place orders, subsequent rice seed production requires people to carry it out.

It's impossible for Su Yu alone to do this.

Not to mention he has many other things to be busy with; even if he were to do it, he alone could not possibly complete so many orders.

So, this matter can only be handed over to the country, with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences taking charge.

This is also what the country should do.

After returning to China, Su Yu first went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

He then stayed at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for two days, teaching Li He all the production techniques for the all-terrain rice seed.

Because the all-terrain rice seed belongs to a technology that is relatively advanced compared to current agricultural science and technology.

Therefore, throughout the entire Academy of Agricultural Sciences, only the exceptionally talented Li He could understand its intricacies, just like when the super fruit tree was first developed.

With Li He supervising, Su Yu could completely let go and rest.

And taking advantage of the rest period, Su Yu specifically spent another day learning about the Global Most Influential Person Awards Ceremony.

He clarified the actual venue, participation process, and some precautions.

According to the information revealed to him by the country,

the domestic bigwigs who could represent China in this awards ceremony were few and far between.

There was only Elder Ren, the 'Light of Domestic Products,' Lei Jun, the current top domestic technology ecosystem giant, and himself, Su Yu.

A total of three people.

Su Yu was actually very curious about how the individuals on this list were statistically determined.

However, the country told him four words: 'No comment.'

Upon careful consideration, it's not difficult to realize that the domestic giants who were able to be selected for this Global Most Influential Awards Ceremony are indeed very well-known!

Not only that, they also have a commonality: they have many fans worldwide.

Many people might not know their names, but they have definitely used things they created.

His own fortunate inclusion on this list must be due to the global live broadcast making his name widely known.

Global audiences now know that China has a top agricultural scientist... Two more days passed.

That is, three days before the start of the Global Most Influential Person Awards Ceremony.

Almost all countries worldwide announced this world-shaking news at the same time.

As soon as the news broke, it instantly swept across the world like a tornado.

The Global Most Influential Person Award.

Although it was just a simple dozen or so characters, the meaning it represented was self-evident.

This was the first time in history that humanity had held such a grand awards ceremony.

The award criteria were to statistically determine, from among all living people globally, who had the greatest influence on the world. That person would receive the award.

Although this award came with no other rewards, the prestige of its name alone was enough to make everyone fight tooth and nail for the nomination.

According to the news revealed by various countries,

over one hundred people were selected for the shortlist!

Among these hundred people, there were technology giants who had made huge contributions to human technology, such as Elon Musk and Lei Jun.

There were also those who had made outstanding contributions in computer science, like Bill Gates and Jensen Huang.

And there were also people who had made outstanding contributions in medicine, agriculture, philosophy, and even art.

In short, the influence of every person on this shortlist was far from limited to a single country; their influence was global.

From these more than one hundred candidates, to compare them horizontally and vertically and select the single most influential person, the difficulty cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, for this election, the organizers also adhered to a system of absolute fair round-by-round comparison and layer-by-layer screening.

Ensuring that the person ultimately chosen is universally recognized as the most influential person globally.

As for how the round-by-round comparison and layer-by-layer screening would work?

The method is actually very simple.

For these more than one hundred candidates, the program team will use a multi-round repeated voting system for screening.

At the start of the ceremony, everyone will have one real-name verified vote!

This vote can only be cast for one of these more than one hundred candidates.

The first round of voting will last 12 hours.

After the voting ends, the 80 candidates with the highest votes will automatically be selected for the next round of voting.

The second round of voting will also last 12 hours.

Everyone will receive new ballots and can continue to vote from these eighty candidates.
