Chapter 138: Battle in Australia
After staying in Paris for nearly a week, Qiao Yu returned to the capital.
It was said that he was traveling abroad, but apart from the journey from the airport to the hotel, Qiao Yu actually only spent more than three hours outside in Paris.
The closing ceremony of the conference is on the morning of the last day.
After having dinner at the hotel at noon, Tian Yanzhen probably took Qiao Yu out for a walk with many professors, probably because he thought that Qiao Yu had finally gone abroad once and had never gone out for sightseeing.
Obviously this was not the first time for the professors to come to Paris. There was no need to look for directions. They took Qiao Yu directly along the Avenue Pigalle in the 8th district of Paris outside the hotel and walked to the Champs Elysées.
When he learned that Qiao Yu wanted to buy a gift for his mother, he stayed for some time on the Champs Elysées.
After choosing and choosing, I finally bought two watches, planning to give one to Qiao Xi and one to Xia Keke.
Qiao Yu originally wanted to buy a gift for Mr. Yuan, but was persuaded by Tian Yanzhen.
It is enough to just wait until his paper is published and give a copy of the sample journal that Ann.Math sent him to Mr. Yuan.
Qiao Yu had nothing to do about this.
Because although he bought the gift, it was Tian Yanzhen’s money.
After finishing the purchase, under the leadership of the professors, we walked onto Avenue Montaigne, passed by the Seine River, looked at the Eiffel Tower from a distance, and then returned to the hotel.
Yes, I didn’t even get a closer look. Because according to fellow professors, people taking photos here had their phones taken away from them, out of distrust of local security, so everyone’s opinion is based on a quick glance.
To be honest, this journey is indeed very disenchanting, because the free air by the river is not only not sweet enough, but also smells bad.
In fact, before coming to Paris, Qiao Yu had read some travel bloggers' strategies and thoughts, and always felt that they were a bit exaggerated. After all, Paris is the capital of a developed country, so it seems unlikely that there would be an unpleasant smell wafting in the air.
Not to mention that last year, a large amount of money was spent on regulating the Seine River because of a grand event. But now it seems that the big price is probably wasted...
I didn't expect that there can be such a degree of freedom here...
People can still enjoy the freedom to urinate and defecate anywhere.
In addition to being amazed, Qiao Yu only felt that he had become more knowledgeable.
On the way back to the hotel, Qiao Yu asked in surprise: "Can't they make public toilets free?"
The accompanying professor jokingly said: "Actually, if you think so, maybe this is a kind of selfishness. A means of protection. This way, when the Germans come with tanks next time At this time, maybe because Paris is too disgusting, he might simply bypass Paris and choose the southern route, such as going directly through the Alps and marching into Italy.”
Qiao Yu was dumbfounded after hearing this, and also opened the travel guide. The chatterbox of professors.
What enters Portugal through Spain, opens up and controls the Atlantic coast, and ensures the safety of maritime supply lines; what strengthens control over Belgium and the Netherlands, stabilizes positions in Western Europe, and then points to the English Channel...
A group of mathematicians instantly transformed into strategists and helped Lao De with suggestions. They gave more than a dozen strategic routes along the way.
The most frightening thing is that he can still analyze it lucidly and tell all the advantages and disadvantages of the route... Well, the average general per capita starts.
This gave Qiao Yu the feeling that he couldn't learn geography well and was not worthy of learning mathematics.
The usually gentle and gentle professors turned out to be very eloquent when discussing this matter, which only made Qiao Yu feel even more ashamed...
It seems that after returning home, he not only had to cram in mathematics knowledge, but also He had to learn the detailed geography of various countries and all kinds of advanced wargames knowledge, otherwise he would be embarrassed to get stuck in the mathematics field at Yanbei University.
After returning to school, the first thing I did was to move.
In fact, renovations had already started upstairs before he went to Paris for the algebraic geometry conference.
He also specifically asked the decoration master about the decoration plan.
The main ones are the waterproofing of the roof, the renovation of the toilet, and the addition of two walls.
When he came back, everything had been decorated and everything in the room had been moved upstairs.
As for his previous cabin, it became a utility room again.
After coming back, although Tian Yanzhen was very tired, he still came over and took a walk.
The renovated decoration is not bad. Although the room is still not big, it is still about 30 to 40 square meters. It is already a small suite with all the necessary equipment.
Entering the door is a corridor that leads directly to the toilet at the back. A door is opened on the wall of the corridor. When you enter, you will find a small study room of more than ten square meters. There is also a door in the study room that leads to the bedroom at the back.
It is much larger than the small room downstairs. The most important thing is that it fully meets Mr. Yuan's requirements. The toilet, study room and bedroom are separated, and it is transparent from north to south. The premise is that the door connecting the study room to the bedroom is open.
The most important thing is that the lighting on the third floor is much better. In the morning, everything in the house is bright. Moreover, the materials used are very good, and the windows were left open for ventilation for a few days, so there was no peculiar smell in the room.
Let's put it this way, the living conditions are indeed enough to beat many PhD students from Yanbei University.
After all, the dormitory space at Yanbei University is really tight now. Many years ago, it started not providing dormitories even for associate and master students. Most PhD students on the old campus can only live in two-person rooms. If you have special needs and want to live in a single room, you need to apply.
"Are you satisfied?" Tian Yanzhen asked.
"Actually, I'm quite satisfied downstairs, let alone here." Qiao Yu replied immediately.
Well, in short, changing dormitories was not what he asked for.
It's okay to be arrogant because of favors, but Qiao Yu doesn't think it's worthwhile to use it for temporary residence.
Although he is the beneficiary, the request was made by Grandpa Shi.
"As long as you are satisfied, if you are not satisfied, I will be scolded again." Tian Yanzhen said with a smile and left.
Qiao Yu was not in a hurry to rest, but went to the express delivery station, took back the small banner he had specially customized for display and encouragement on a certain treasure, and hung it in the study. The wall next to the table, facing the study door, is very eye-catching.
As soon as you walk into the study room, you can see this red flag and the ten big words "Read for the rise of Chinese mathematics!", and that feeling comes over you immediately.
At least Qiao Yu was satisfied with it.
Immediately took out my mobile phone and took a picture of the room as a whole. I planned to post it on Weibo, but gave up before Weibo was opened. Because Qiao Yu considered that this time point was not suitable.
Because he is going to attend IMO in July, the math experts at the meeting said that he might be complained about if he goes to IMO. So it's best to keep a low profile at this time.
However, he couldn't help but send a photo to Qiao Xi on WeChat.
"Look, Mom, at the request of Grandpa Shi and under the auspices of Director Tian, I moved after I came back. Now I am also a man who owns an apartment in the capital."
"Hey, that's good. That flag on the wall about studying for the rise of Chinese mathematics was made by the instructor?"
As expected, that flag is very eye-catching and cannot be ignored at all.
Qiao Yu replied with a message: "Haha, I ordered it myself on a certain treasure. It is very cheap, more than 80 yuan. I will become famous in the future, and this place is the former residence of the great mathematician Qiao Yu , if I sign this flag then it will have collection value, and maybe I can make tens or even millions by auctioning it off!”
"If you want to brag, be more generous. Why are you so reserved in your dreams? A million is less. Last time I read on the Internet, it was said that Einstein's manuscript sold for more than 10 million euros, so this flag must be at least worth it. Twenty million euros!”
“Excuse me, Mom! Let me take a nap and have a bolder dream!”
"Go! Have a good rest."
Qiao Yu put away his phone and sighed, Qiao Xi always had ten thousand ways to make him feel uninterested.
Forget it, let’s rest first.
......
Whether this flag is really valuable in the future is another matter, but it definitely hit the weak spot of the two big guys.
Especially when Yuan Zhengxin came to Qiao Yu's place to see the new apartment the next day, he stood under that flag for a long time.
He also reached out and touched the material of the flag. Qiao Yu even felt that the old man's eyes were a little wet.
This made Qiao Yu feel a little nervous for a while, wondering if he was going too far.
Fortunately, after the old man turned around, he just patted him on the shoulder and said with a slightly choked tone: "Okay! Just have this ambition. This is the ambition of several generations!"
Well, it can be seen that the old man is still very satisfied.
As long as you are satisfied, the more than eighty yuan will not be wasted.
We invited the old man to sit down in the room. Unexpectedly, the old man also brought a newspaper and handed it to Qiao Yu.
“Have you ever received an exclusive interview in France?”
“Ah, yes, a reporter named Zhang interviewed me.”
“Well, already I've seen you. You guys are really good at talking." The old man said with emotion.
Qiao Yu took the newspaper, and sure enough, his interview took up a huge page.
Qiao Yu also probably knew why Mr. Yuan said he could talk. The reporter wrote down the last question that disgusted him.
But the meaning is actually very positive.
“...Just like Qiao Yu said, we don’t need to care about the so-called Great Reconciliation of the Century. The future of the Chinese mathematics community as a whole will be bright...”
Well, at least this reporter didn't misinterpret his meaning, and Qiao Yu felt very relieved.
So after reading the newspaper, Qiao Yu raised his head with a sunny smile still on his face.
"It's not me who can speak. I really think so, Grandpa, isn't it right?"
Obviously, the old man had no sullen mood and always maintained a warm smile.
“Yes, everything you said is right.”
Same as last time, Mr. Yuan didn’t stay long and confirmed that Qiao Yu’s accommodation environment had indeed been qualitatively improved. After chatting for a few words about what he had experienced in Paris this time, he was about to go back.
Before leaving, the old man asked Qiao Yu a question that made him feel ashamed.
"By the way, the day after tomorrow is Children's Day. Have you thought about how to celebrate it?"
"Well, grandpa, I am sixteen years old, can I still celebrate Children's Day?"< br>
“Why can’t we live? The United Nations Children’s Article 1 of the Convention on Human Rights states that a child refers to anyone under the age of 18, unless the legal age of majority is lower than that. What, you are an adult? br>
Old Yuan said loudly.
Qiao Yu immediately accepted this explanation and asked proactively: "How about we go to a park? One where you can ride a roller coaster? I didn't go there much when I was a child."
"Okay, I'll accompany you. Go! But you’re not allowed to ride the roller coaster, too. Dangerous, other less dangerous rides are for you to play."
...
Well, Qiao Yu felt that if he was in high school, he would have to write again after this holiday. For an essay, there are so many materials.
The title is called "My Grandfather, an Academician, Goes with Me to the Park". This is going to be an essay competition, and if it doesn't win an award, it's definitely because the judges are ignorant.
On the day of Children's Day, Mr. Yuan actually took a whole day and took Qiao Yu to Happy Valley in the capital with his staff.
Both meals were eaten outside.
Although this year's Children's Day happened to be on a Sunday, it still left Mr. Yuan and his entourage speechless.
Mr. Yuan was recognized several times and happily took photos with several children.
As for Qiao Yu, he didn't bother to care what others thought. Anyway, he was really happy on this Children’s Day.
He basically played everything in Happy Valley except the roller coaster.
Although the weather in Beijing is nice today, Labor Day falls on the weekend, so the park is crowded with people.
But with his grandpa here, he will not be kept waiting. Every project will be purchased directly and quickly.
Several projects were recognized by Mr. Yuan, and even the fast-track service fees were confiscated.
Some parents also learned that Mr. Yuan was taking his grandson out to play today. He was so enthusiastic that he asked Qiao Yu to jump in line, even if he wanted to queue up...
Really, unless he went out for a walk, Qiao Yu wouldn't have known that his grandpa was so dignified among ordinary people.
But he was really happy on the whole day of June 1st.
I played almost all the activities and took a bunch of photos, including more than ten photos with Mr. Yuan.
When I got home at night, I sent all the photos to Qiao Xi.
The friend group also selected a few photos of playing in Happy Valley and taking photos with Mr. Yuan and sent them to them.
The accompanying text is: "Today my grandpa took me to Happy Valley in Beijing. It was really fun. When you come, I will take you there too."
I received several exclamation points, ellipses, and several comments Shameless reply.
For example, Yu Yongjun directly replied: "Brother, we can just be their father, why bother to be their grandfather? It makes myself look old for nothing."
Of course these are just As shown in the picture, Qiao Yu's main focus was on learning basic lessons.
This time Qiao Yu was more planned, not only referring to the bibliography given to him by Director Tian and Mr. Yuan, but also referring to the undergraduate courses arranged by the mathematics faculties of multiple schools.
Not only Yanbei and Huaqing, but also the undergraduate course arrangements and textbooks used by top universities such as Princeton, Harvard, Bonn University, and Stanford University.
To make up for the basics, Qiao Yu felt that it was necessary to study undergraduate courses, especially the undergraduate course systems formulated by these prestigious schools.
This is enough to ensure that he has not missed anything in basic mathematics.
Choose these schools because he does not need to search hard on the Internet. He only needs to send an email to the professors who have left their contact information for him.
Not only did he get all the undergraduate course schedules from these well-known universities, but he also got some textbooks used by major universities and final exam papers issued by professors in recent years.
Especially Lot Dugan and Peter Schulz.
The mathematics test papers sent to him include almost all the final papers for undergraduate students in the past five years. It also includes some reflection projects and even papers required by the teacher.
Peter Schulz also mailed him several sets of mathematics textbooks that he approved.
This made Qiao Yu unable to find any reason to slack off. He could only say that these professors were too enthusiastic.
Of course June is also the harvest season.
For example, his paper was finally published on Ann.Math. Not only did I receive the sample issue from the other side, but I can also search it from the Yanbei University literature database.
Another paper on conjugate ridged singular points has entered the formatting process and is expected to be officially published next month.
On the other side, I am also communicating with Dennis and Pan Jingyuan every day, and their papers have basically been revised.
The previous five papers have now become four. The last one, about the generalization of the Ambidexterity theorem, was merged into his paper.
Because the solution given by Qiao Yu has essentially proved the global applicability of the Ambidexterity theorem. Global consistency in the context of algebraic geometry is guaranteed.
The four papers combined have been reduced from more than 800 pages to more than 600 pages.
Seems more concise and clear.
The next step is to discuss where to publish.
During this period, Lot Dugan received a lot of benefits, so Qiao Yu also suggested it and sent Ann.Math, and it was unanimously approved.
Obviously, no one has much obsession with where to publish the paper. Just let Qiao Yu do the favor.
The paper was submitted directly. This time it was submitted by Qiao Yu himself, which was considered as a personal practice of the journal's backend submission system.
However, this time the author of the correspondence wrote the name of Yuan Zhengxin, who was the first author, and Pan Jingyuan was the second author.
He had discussed this with Director Tian.
Because it was Mr. Yuan who introduced Professor Pan and gave him detailed tutoring, which annoyed Professor Pan very much at that time.
There must be some compensation at this time.
However, correspondingly, other papers named Qiao Yu also have three and four authors, which are also based on academic rigor.
Because some of the contents also use the mathematical ideas provided by Qiao Yu.
As for Huaqing Professor Li’s project, Qiao Yu did not continue to study it in depth.
The most critical problem has been solved, and Qiao Yu feels that it will only be a matter of time before the results come out. There is no need for him to take over the spotlight.
So the main theme for Qiao Yu throughout June was reading, learning basic knowledge and doing papers.
Of course, Qiao Yu didn't forget about Xia Keke.
In late June, when Qiao Yu saw the news on Yanbei University’s official website that this summer’s mathematics and science summer camp for middle school students had opened registration channels, Qiao Yu went to find Tian Yanzhen.
However, Tian Yanzhen didn't speak for him. He just gave him the number of Professor Luo, who was in charge of summer camp review at the School of Mathematics.
Qiao Yu didn't feel any psychological burden, so he called directly and mentioned the matter.
Then he added WeChat and sent Xia Keke’s information to Professor Luo, and Qiao Yu ignored the matter.
Two weeks later, he received a call from Xia Keke.
"Brother, I was really selected for the Yanbei University summer camp. Did you speak for me?"
"Ah? The registration for the Yanbei University summer camp has already started? It's over, I I forgot all about it, but that's fine. , it shows that you are strong enough and don’t need my help to say hello.”
“You must be lying to me!” “Why did I lie to you? By the way, you were in the whole grade last time. How many rows?”
"Well...ranked 21st in all subjects and 17th in elective subjects."
"Look, this is it! What does it mean to be ranked 21st in the grade of Changjun? This means that most of the body has already entered Huaqing , Yanbei! Isn’t it normal to pass the assessment? ”
“ But..."
"Nothing but, by the way, my mother also plans to come to the capital to see me. You might as well come with her and we'll go back to Star City together then."
"Auntie also goes to the capital? That's great."
"Well, okay, then hang up."
"Okay!"
With this matter arranged well, Qiao Yu is destined to have a fulfilling life in July.
He even discussed all the itinerary arrangements with Director Tian and Mr. Yuan.
This year’s IMO is from July 18th to July 26th. He still attends normally.
The delegation is expected to depart on the 16th, arrive in Australia on the 18th, and return home on the 26th. After coming back, I waited two days for the Yanbei University Mathematics Science Summer Camp to start.
This year’s schedule is from July 29th to August 1st, a total of four days. After the summer camp is disbanded, he can take Qiao Xi and Xia Keke to play in the capital for two days, and then return to Star City to spend more than half a month of summer vacation.
Wait until Yanbei University reports in September to officially enroll.
After discussing with Tian Yanzhen, Qiao Yu decided to transfer his student status to the elite class normally.
However, Qiao Yu does not need to attend classes. Instead, he will submit a written application and study plan to the school, and accept the assessment of his performance and ability in various subjects by the department.
As long as you reach the required credits, you can directly apply for graduate transfer in academic affairs.
To put it simply, Qiao Yu can apply for a separate exam at any time based on the teaching content of the elite class. The exam results will be included in the file and system like other students, and credits and grade points will be calculated.
If Qiao Yu had confidence in himself, he could have completed all the four-year courses in the elite class in half a year or even less, received his diploma and degree certificate directly, and officially started studying at Yanbei Huaqing University. Research center’s joint training program.
But Qiao Yu’s plan for him was not that urgent. He roughly estimated that based on his learning efficiency and ensuring a solid foundation, it would be better to plan for one year at the undergraduate level.
As for the doctoral research stage, it can be accelerated appropriately. As long as you have a solid foundation, you can accumulate a lot of experience and write a weighty thesis when the time comes, and you can graduate directly when you are an adult.
At that time, being a professor was still useful. Of course it's not just to be Qiao Xi's teacher. The main thing is more freedom of movement.
In short, this is probably the plan. Qiao Yu didn't think too much about the specific future.
But in early July, there was another surprise.
Inexplicably, after Qiao Yu finished reading the book, while having dinner in the evening, he suddenly received a bank text message reminding him that there was a large transfer on his card, totaling 1.367 million.
Although Qiao Yu liked money, he was still a little confused when someone sent money so suddenly.
So he quickly sent the screenshot of the transfer directly to Tian Yanzhen on WeChat.
"Director Tian, I just got an extra income suddenly. What's going on?"
Tian Yanzhen called before Qiao Yu could wait long.
"That money should be the consulting fee paid to you by Professor Zhang's research team. He just asked me for your bank card number and information a few days ago."
"Professor Zhang? ”
"You forgot, I asked you to help with the new cobalt-based catalyst project before. Your consulting fee was supposed to be two million, but when the project team transferred the money to you, they paid the taxes for you. You should be able to check it in your personal income tax next month."
Qiao Yu remembered it instantly.
Somewhat surprised.
He remembered that the question was quite simple. He just spent a day doing calculations and he could actually get two million in consulting fees?
“Huh?”
"Don't think the tax is too high. Paying taxes according to the law is a glorious thing. And your situation is also very special. It is difficult to avoid taxes. After all, you are not an adult yet. If you pay taxes in other ways, there will be a lot of trouble, so use The casual labor remuneration model is the best. ”
“ No, it doesn’t matter whether it’s tax or not. Isn’t two million a bit too much?”
“Haha, Professor Zhang said, you saved the research team at least two months, and the results are good. Very good. Let me thank you. Okay, the money has been sent to you. It's up to you. As long as you don't talk nonsense, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. I will still be willing to help Professor Zhang next time. ”
“Don’t just think about good things, there is no shortage of money like this Horizontal projects are rare. If it is a vertical scientific research project, even if you help, that is, if you are added as an author on the paper, you can be given thousands of labor fees. Your current task is to study with peace of mind. Don’t be in a hurry to make money.”
After saying that, Tian Yanzhen simply hung up the phone. It also stopped Qiao Yu's thoughts.
Well, it turns out that money is not as easy to make as expected. However, if he just helped with some calculations, he could get two million in labor fees, which still shocked Qiao Yu a little.
Although Senior Brother Chen had calculated it for him, if he received all kinds of paper bonuses and scholarships from the school, he might be able to earn millions in a year.
But after all, the money hasn’t been seen yet.
The 1.367 million has actually been credited to his bank card, and a tax of 633,000 has also been paid.
This also means that his personal assets have exceeded the 1.6 million mark!
This is definitely something Qiao Yu never thought of before coming to Yanbei University.
When he came, he had more than 250,000 yuan in his card. Since he came, he has basically never used any money.
There are still six digits in the Huaqing all-in-one card. Although Yanbei's meal card is not that exaggerated, there is a fixed amount of 3,000 yuan deposited into it every month, and it has never been used up.
After finally going out, it was not his turn to spend money. There was always someone around to help him settle the bill.
Including the two watches he bought in France to give away when Qiao Xi and Xia Keke arrived, Tian Yanzhen also confiscated his money afterwards.
And he still has a lot of money outside, such as Senior Brother Chen and his alma mater.
If all of this were added up, it would be more than two million.
Although this amount of money seems completely insignificant to many people on the Internet, it is definitely a big number for Qiao Yu now.
After all, he had never seen so much money.
If he didn't consider his lofty ideals, he could have lived a prosperous life for several years without doing anything back in Star City.
The mood is naturally excellent.
Although Qiao Yu feels that he has nothing to spend money on yet, this income at least means that he is one step closer to his ideal.
The only thing that makes Qiao Yu depressed is the horribly low interest rates on time deposits these days. You never know when you might need money.
He doesn’t want to touch funds or stocks that are beyond his control. So I simply applied for a smart seven-day notice deposit.
Interest can only be said to be better than nothing, but the advantage is stability and flexibility. Can be used at any time.
After the money was credited to his card, it was like a signal, and things happened one after another.
The next day, he was pulled into the group participating in this IMO by Professor Zhou, the team leader of this IMO.
Obviously he was the last one to be pulled into the group because he was at the end.
This is indeed the case.
This group had already been established during the second training camp after CMO, but Zhou Liang never brought Qiao Yu into the group.
This is also what Tian Yanzhen asked for. Qiao Yu didn't need to participate in many of the next things because he was afraid that the content of the group chat would disturb Qiao Yu's study plan.
But now it’s almost time to set off, so it’s natural for Qiao Yu to return to the team.
To be honest, no one, including the team leader Zhou Liang, is quite sure whether Qiao Yu will be able to play in Australia this time.
After all, no one has ever encountered such a thing before that a registered IMO contestant has the opportunity to give an opening report at a world-class mathematician conference before participating.
Not only have I never encountered it, I have never even thought about it.
Especially for the team leader Zhou Liang, a professor at Yanbei University, the deputy team leader Zhang Zhuowei, a professor at the Academy of Sciences of Huaqing University, and the observer Fu Shaojie from Shuangdan University, the most embarrassing situation is that although everyone is Professor, but in terms of academic achievements, it seems that he is not as good as sixteen-year-old Qiao Yu.
Although the number of published papers is definitely more than that of Qiao Yu. But the quality cannot be compared.
For example, none of the three gave a sixty-minute opening report at a world-class academic conference. I haven't even had time to publish an article in the four top mathematics journals.
Neither of them had the chance to appear on the central media's seven o'clock news.
He didn't even appear in official newspapers.
Obviously this team is difficult to lead.
This seems to be the case.
Qiao Yu just said "Hello everyone" as soon as he entered the group, and a group of young players started to make a fuss.
Yu Yongjun was the first to pop up and send a "Boss, please drink tea" emoji, and then everyone started to take over.
As an observer, Fu Shaojie could pretend he didn't see it, but Team Leader Zhou naturally still had to speak.
Okay, to be honest, Zhou Liang almost sent the same expression just now, but luckily he realized something was wrong and held it back.
"Okay, everyone is quiet. Now all the members who are going to IMO this time are here. I will send the arrangements for this trip to the group in the evening, and there are a few things I want to emphasize with you first. For a moment.
The first thing is discipline. This time, on behalf of the country, everyone’s responsibility is We must pay special attention to our words and deeds, not only to show the good appearance of our team, but also to ensure that we concentrate during the competition..."
As usual, I emphasized the key points of participating in the competition in the group , and then sent the arrangements and regulations issued by the organizing committee to the group.
Zhou Liang made the final conclusion.
"Okay, the next step is for everyone to get ready to participate in the competition. Pay special attention to your diet these days, and report to me in time if you feel any discomfort.
Finally, I hope everyone can relax and try their best That’s it. We have struggled together for so long, and now it’s time to show your strength. No matter what the final result is, I believe that each of you will be the best!”
…
The big group became quiet, and the group of friends became lively.
Gong Jiatao: "Well, let's talk about it. Boss Qiao, you haven't given up on IMO yet? Are you really embarrassed to go to Australia with us?"
Qiao Yu: "Why am I embarrassed to go? Let's do some popular science. IMO’s requirement is that only high school students under the age of twenty can go.”
Gong Jiatao: “But you are already a world-class mathematician. You gave the highest-level report at the conference! Is it appropriate to compete with us for the gold medal?"
Yu Yongjun: "Well, brother, I firmly support you to participate, but if you play, it will be. It feels like a cannon hitting a mosquito.”
Qiao Yu: “I’m not a cannon, and I don’t allow you to call yourself a mosquito!”
Yu Wei: "Qiao Yu, have you ever thought about how embarrassing it would be if you failed at IMO and didn't even get the bronze medal?"
Qiao Yu: "Do you think this is possible? And even if it's a bronze medal I didn’t get it, who do you think dares to question my level?”
…
Just one-on-three…
Let the friends be dumb. While speechless, Qiao Yu actually felt uninterested.
He actually didn't expect that even one of his own people thought he didn't need to participate.
However, Qiao Yu felt that this probably meant that the psychological shadow he had brought to several of his friends was not enough. He must work harder.
After all, if everyone is afraid of him, they should not dare to refute any of his decisions.
But don’t rush.
We have to wait until this IMO is over and his friends come to Yanbei.
We can't really let their mentality collapse before this kind of world competition. The team leader will probably take a knife to him that week.
But no matter what, IMO Qiao Yu felt that he still tried his best to participate. Even if someone really complains, he will still argue the case.
IMO's list has been submitted a long time ago, and it has been reviewed and approved. He just went to attend the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry, why should he not be allowed to participate?
After all, everyone needs a gift to say goodbye to their innocence when they grow up. Qiao Yu thinks an IMO gold medal is pretty good.
It can be regarded as an explanation for the good old man.
This is the route planned by the good old man for him!
……
Unlike going to France, it is much more convenient to go to Australia this time with an electronic visa.
However, this trip to Australia’s Gold Coast is also different from the last trip. Not only does it require a transfer, but also it is not a wide-body passenger aircraft for a long period of time.
Although it was also first class, it was not as comfortable as last time. But fortunately this time I was surrounded by peers.
Facts have proved that Qiao Yu has rich experience in dealing with people of any age.
Although during the last training camp, his impression on everyone was definitely not that good, and he was often criticized among his friends.
But after this IMO gathering, everyone met offline. In fact, Qiao Yu didn’t have any airs. Soon he was fighting with everyone, just like when he was in Class 13.
Qiao Yu has always felt that students are the best group to deal with. This is true even for a guy with an eccentric personality like Yu Wei.
People always need experience to grow, no matter how high their IQ is. Children who have been protected under their wings are mostly childish.
Qiao Yu felt that he was the same.
Looking back now, he thought of many things too simply when he was a child.
And the most comfortable thing for Qiao Yu when they meet again this time is that everyone admires him.
There is no need for him to think of any tricks to make these guys curb their arrogance. Everyone listens to his words. In many cases, his words are even more useful than those of Team Leader Zhou.
In short, everything went smoothly until we arrived at the Gold Coast, the venue for this IMO.
But after arriving at the competition location and meeting with Team Leader Zhou who had arrived in advance, what Qiao Yu was most worried about happened naturally.
For the contestants, their IMO journey starts on July 18th, but in fact, on the 14th, the IMO Board of Directors and the leaders responsible for this IMO have already arrived.
And began presiding over the jury.
The preliminary work of the jury is mainly to select the final questions for the competition from the question bank submitted by various countries, and to translate these questions into the languages of each country.
And develop unified scoring standards before the official exam. Ensure that the scoring standards in different countries are consistent.
The problem also lies in this area.
Although the jury is not responsible for reviewing the qualifications of participating students from various countries, this is the responsibility of the selection and organizing agencies of each country or region.
But Qiao Yu’s reputation is indeed too loud. When the leaders of other national teams saw that Qiao Yu was on the list of the Chinese team, they expressed some incredible emotions to this year's directors.
So the Chinese delegation had just arrived and before they had time to rest, team leaders Zhou Liang and Qiao Yu were invited by this IMO to attend a closed meeting of the board of directors.
This is probably a very high-standard reception.
...
When he received the notice, Qiao Yu had a bad premonition. Sure enough, when he walked into the conference room with Zhou Liang and saw a few familiar guys, he knew that what Professor Delini said had come true.
Qiao Yu even remembered to take the other person’s business card after they met at the World Algebraic Geometry Conference in Paris not long ago.
"Hi, Qiao Yu, is it really you? I really didn't expect to see you here again after only two months."
"Yes, Professor Smith, I am too Unexpectedly. You are also a member of the board of directors?”
"Board of Directors? No, no, no, it should be said Steering Committee. The co-option mechanism of the IMO Steering Committee is to select co-opted representatives from the previous three terms. Last year it happened to be held in the UK, so you happened to see me."
Qiao Yu’s acquaintance smiled and explained.
Next to him, Zhou Liang also greeted the others.
The members of the steering committee of this Mathematics Olympiad also include professors from China, so Zhou Liang is also one of the members of the steering committee, because next year’s IMO will be held in China.
“Okay, the question discussed this time is whether Qiao Yu should participate in this competition.”
IMO Secretary-General Christine from Denmark gave a simple explanation.
Okay, let’s get right to the point.
So Qiao Yu asked curiously: "Can I ask first, why do you think I can't participate in this competition? I didn't violate any rules!"
November The eighth day of the 10,000-word check-in...
PS: There are probably one or two chapters left in the second volume... The third volume is about to set sail.
The contents of the three volumes roughly include five parts and nine frameworks. The main task is to build a new function space by reviewing the Langlands Program, to integrate cross-field mathematics and to verify new theories...
At the same time, it provides the basis for the next step. It lays the foundation for its application.
