Chapter 168 Powers and responsibilities are relative!
It turns out that once you have the tools at hand and solve the problem of who will do it, progress will be very fast.
Of course this also has something to do with choosing the right person. Many people like to complain that there are no opportunities in ordinary life, but in fact, everyone always has one or two opportunities in his life.
It’s just that some people grasped it, and some people didn’t grasp it, and successfully squandered the fleeting opportunity.
Of course, this statement may not be consistent with many people’s perceptions. Because successful people are always in the minority. Regardless of any industry, there will always be only a few people at the top of the pyramid.
In fact, this is also easy to understand.
Very few people can achieve success in their lives through just one opportunity. Those who seize an opportunity simply make their lives better than those who fail to seize them.
Successful people can turn one opportunity into countless opportunities, and they can seize each time and slowly move towards success. Obviously ability is a very important factor in this.
For example, Adou, who cannot be supported, is a headache.
Fortunately, facts have proven that Yanbei University’s selection mechanism is relatively effective. Especially those who dare to recommend themselves are really not the kind of trash who doesn't understand anything.
Huairou's consulting project went very smoothly. And Zhang Xiao seems to know the laboratory environment better than Qiao Yu. Specifically, she will actively screen out some obviously invalid data.
This also makes her data processing efficiency higher than that of Senior Brother Chen. Fortunately, Professor Zhang Zuolin's most troublesome problem has been solved. Now that there is already a research direction, the required data is more directional and naturally simpler.
So from Qiao Yu's perspective, Zhang Xiao undoubtedly seized the opportunity that belonged to her.
Actually speaking, Qiao Yu definitely has some such things as morality, but maybe not too many. If necessary, he would not even mind lowering his already low moral standards.
Of course, there is nothing we can do about it. In fact, there are really not many people who can maintain a high moral standard and still make money without capital.
For a child who is determined to take on the responsibilities of a man, there are not many ways he can think of. If you adhere too much to the so-called noble moral principles, it may be difficult to survive.
But if it is to provide paid services, Qiao Yu has always been very sure about this. That is to say, Zhang Xiao appeared. If such a person had not appeared, then he would have chosen to work harder on his own.
Just like what he said to the good old man before, how can it be easy to make money? Relatively speaking, he can make money by using his brain, which is more than at least 80% of the people in the country.
The project went smoothly, and it only took Qiao Yu about twenty days to issue the first report to Huairou Institute.
In fact, it’s not that there is no effort. For example, Qiao Yu declined many invitations to large meetings.
Qiao Yu received many invitations during this period. For example, at the annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society, a letter was sent to invite him to give a special lecture on generalized modal theory.
In addition, there is the SIAM conference, although this conference is mainly a conference on applied mathematics and computational mathematics. However, some foreign scholars already believe that generalized modal theory can be applied to mathematical modeling...
In fact, Qiao Yu also came up with his current ideas based on foreign papers, so it is not appropriate to invite Qiao Yu to participate in this conference. strangeness.
Well, Tian Yanzhen actually doesn’t recommend that Qiao Yu frequently attend such academic conferences now.
Although I can look familiar, it will definitely be good for the future. But Tian Yanzhen also has his worries.
First of all, China and its opponent have now launched all-round competition. It may not have affected the academic world before, but it is difficult to say what the current trend will be.
And once it comes to applications, Tian Yan is really afraid that something bad will happen to Qiao Yu.
It’s not that he doesn’t worry about the mathematicians who invited him to the conference. Tian Yanzhen also believes in many mathematicians including Pierre Delini, Lott Dugan, and Qiao Yu’s former partner, Dennis. The professor didn't mean anything bad.
But although the academic world is not pure, the lower limit is much higher than that of others.
When foreign academic circles began to generally believe that the generalized modal axiom system could shine in applications, Tian Yanzhen was already worried about whether Qiao Yu could come back smoothly after his departure.
Well, of course it could also be that caring leads to chaos. But as a mentor, this is something you must consider.
Fortunately, Qiao Yu didn't have much interest in going out for meetings. Not even interested in some small awards.
The bonus is not much anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you take it or not.
And he is only sixteen years old, so there is no need to be too anxious about winning awards. In comparison, he was interested in making money.
……
Institute of Chemistry, Huairou Science Center, Beijing, China.
After visiting Zhang Zuolin's laboratory, Ma Botao indeed had great confidence in Qiao Yu's analysis results.
However, he still did not expect that Qiao Yu could get the results so quickly.
What he didn't expect was that, based on Qiao Yu's feedback, the samples produced after adjusting the laboratory plan looked very satisfactory, with various performance parameters improved to varying degrees.
At this time, he was looking at the data analysis report of the sample. This moment made him feel very excited. Well, he was not the only one who was excited at this time. In fact, other people in the research team were more excited than him.
After all, others don't know the research progress of Zhang Zuolin's laboratory next door. He didn't even know about Ma Botao's cooperation with Qiao Yu.
Currently, these guidance data are only considered to be the results provided by the cooperative mathematics team.
It was not that he wanted to hide anything on purpose, the main reason was that he had not discussed this cooperation with anyone. In fact, he feels that the environment in the institute is more complicated than that in universities.
Especially now that the research institute is run on a corporate basis, and he has not been transferred here for a long time, so many things cannot be decided by him at a single word.
For example, the allocation of project funds.
Many people have misunderstandings about the scientific research field. As a project leader, you can allocate funds for the project at will. But the actual situation is obviously not so good.
Whether it is a general project, a fund project or a horizontal project, the money is first transferred to the account of the affiliated unit. Then create a sub-account in the unit account.
The most important thing is that even using the funds of this research group requires the signature of the leader. For example, if the appointment of external consultants really needs to be reviewed, God knows when.
It’s not just because the method he told his leader Qiao Yu has been successful with his competitors that it will be approved.
Even if Qiao Yu can't give effective guidance, there is no need to pay consulting fees. If you want to get approval, you still need various studies.
For those who want to do something, waiting for the leader to study and approve it will make the day lily cold.
Especially since the Institute of Chemistry is backed by the Academy of Sciences, there is no need for our own mathematicians to hire others to do the work, and he is still a sixteen-year-old boy.
Even though Qiao Yu is not an ordinary teenager, he has already proven himself at the International Algebraic Geometry Conference, has been praised by many Fields Medal winners, and even shined at the annual mathematics conference. But at least Qiao Yu has not made any great contributions in the field of applied mathematics.
As for the lab at Yanbei University using his method to solve the problem? Okay, could it be a coincidence?
Moreover, Qiao Yu is from Yanbei University, and his tutor is Tian Yanzhen. Who knows if there is something fishy in this?
Maybe Ma Botao was deceived by the cunning Yanbei people! This possibility is not only possible, but also very high.
Not to mention that the opposite laboratory is a competitor! In short, Ma Botao knew very well that as long as this matter came back for discussion, there would be no result at all within a few months.
So to a certain extent, he is making his own decisions. This confidence is also because it is stated in the agreement that if the data analyzed by Qiao Yu cannot effectively guide the laboratory process, there will be no need to pay any fees and the left and right will not lose money.
Of course, this also meant that, strictly speaking, the agreement he signed with Qiao Yu in Zhang Zuolin's laboratory was not very formal.
After all, there is no official seal of the unit, just a personal signature and fingerprint. So in theory, if he doesn't admit it, there's no problem.
However, Ma Botao could see that when Zhang Zuolin facilitated the signing of this agreement, he hoped that he would not admit it in the end, and then he would come forward to help him give the money...
And he will be very loyal when giving.
“Hey, I really didn’t expect Ma Botao to be such a shameless person. I was the guarantee for him at the time, so I will pay for the consulting fee!”
Ma Botao felt depressed thinking about this. There is no way Zhang Zuolin is famous in the industry for not being short of money.
Some people really caught up with the good times and caught the pulse of the times. When the country encouraged university professors to start their own businesses, they took the initiative to stand up.
Not only does it have policy support, but it also enjoys a wave of intellectual property dividends. But then again, those who dared to do this without hesitation at that time were also brave.
After all, everyone is afraid that if the policy suddenly changes again, the market dividend will not be reaped, but the iron rice bowl in the university will be lost.
Okay, no matter what, it is definitely good news to have results now. It's just that how to settle the settlement with Qiao Yu requires some thinking.
After thinking for a moment in the office, Ma Botao picked up his cell phone and found Luo Jingren's name in his address book, then dialed it.
The call was quickly connected, and before Ma Botao could speak, the person on the other end started talking first.
"Professor Ma, are you urging me again? Really, it's not that we are stalling for time, the main reason is that the data produced by your laboratory is really not enough. Nothing can be analyzed. And several research groups have been working on it recently. Busy. We are already working overtime on the analysis."
Hearing this, Ma Botao smiled subconsciously and said, "No, Professor Luo, you really didn't misunderstand this time. urge You. The situation is like this.
As you know, Party A is very anxious about this project, and we also hired a consultant from outside to help us with data analysis. .
The good news is that we have made a special call to you, so we don’t have to worry about our other research groups.”
After Ma Botao finished speaking, the other person didn't seem to have come back to his senses. He was silent for a while, and then spoke in a tone that sounded quite surprising.
"Professor Ma, you hired a consultant outside? And it produced results? Are you sure? The data you provided can still be used to analyze useful things? Have you been deceived?"
Ma Botao smiled and replied: "Professor Luo, don't worry, they will help us analyze first and will not pay until the project is completed. Now the first batch of data analysis results have been fed back to us .
We adjusted the laboratory plan based on these results, and the results were very good. Now the parameters of the sample have been greatly improved, especially the durability that troubled us most before.
So, please see if you can help us issue a report. Anyway, you are very busy there, so I don’t need to bother you with this part of the work.”
Ma Botao felt quite happy when he said these words.
Although he also knows that the opponent has not been able to produce much, he cannot completely blame the opponent for not being strong enough.
After all, mathematical models often only play a supporting role, and theoretical research is also lagging behind.
But every time I call to ask about the situation, there is either no result or all kinds of excuses, which naturally cannot make people feel good. I finally gave some advice, but it was of no use.
It made him feel worse than when he was in Shuangdan University. At that time, we had a better understanding of cooperation with several professors we were familiar with.
"No, Professor Ma, did you hire consultants from Shuangdan? Their analytical skills are so strong? Also, have you discussed this matter with Li Institute? After all, this is a project entrusted to our institute, so whatever Isn’t it appropriate to release the data to the public?”
Although he felt uncomfortable, Ma Botao still used a gentle tone. The tone explained: "Professor Luo, I have not contacted Shuangdan University. It was a friend from Yanbei University who helped. As for data security, we have already signed a confidentiality agreement."
"Yanbei University University? Is it Lu Huazhou, Guo Chunyao or Li Fengcheng? "
The opponent's pressing attitude has made Ma Botao very unhappy. His tone also began to become stiffer.
"Professor Luo, thank you for your concern for our project. But it has nothing to do with these people. If you have any doubts about the report given by the consultant, you can come and take a look. You don't have to keep asking, right?
< br>
Besides, you have been very busy recently and have a lot of data to do. We are also here to reduce your burden, right? "
"Professor Ma, you can't say that. Yes, we are indeed quite busy recently, but if you say that you can make effective analysis using your existing data, I don't quite agree with it.
Apart from these three professors at Yanbei University who are doing relevant data analysis, who else is more professional than us? Or is it because you gave the other party more data to get the result?
I am really irresponsible if I just follow your instructions without asking anything clearly? You may have been in college for a long time and don’t know the rules at the institute, right?
The purpose of each project data, how it is used, and the scope of its use are all clearly defined! How can I write a report if you don’t say anything? ”
Ma Botao, choked by his words, was silent for a moment, then chuckled twice, and replied: "First, I brought this project together! I also signed the contract with Party A, and I am very concerned about the scope of data processing and use. Clear.
Secondly, since you must know, I will tell you that our data analysis was done by Qiao Yu from the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center. Are you satisfied? By the way, the data given to him is synchronized with the data given to you."
"Qiao Yu? That student?"
"Yes! The last time I saw the promotion, it seemed that he was only sixteen years old this year! How about I invite Academician Tian and Qiao Yu together so that we can talk about it?"
"Dududu..."
The other person hung up the phone directly.
"Huh..."
Well, Ma Botao sneered twice, then stood up and walked out of the office.
Brothers, there are only more than 4,000 words in the update today and tomorrow, because I am reorganizing the entire outline. I should be able to finish the outline over the weekend and resume more updates starting on Monday!
