Chapter 199 Yes, it’s all true!
Naturally, it wasn't because Qiao Yu forgot to take money because he didn't respect money. The main thing is that awarding bonuses on stage is just for show.
After all, who would go to the bank to get money with a check that's almost half a person's height and one person's length?
In the end, it doesn't have to be converted into a normal check or direct bank transfer.
However, for the sake of the funder, Qiao Yu stayed on the stage obediently and cooperated with the founder of Clay Research Institute to complete the process of accepting the bonus.
"Congratulations, Joe."
"Thank you!"
"We can strengthen cooperation in the future."
"What an honor."
After shaking hands, the two stood next to a large check with $1.5 million written on it, and countless flashlights lit up.
After freezing this scene, Qiao Yu walked off the podium with a bright smile on his face.
Now I am finally satisfied!
His face was wiped out, he also received medals and bonuses, and his family assets directly exceeded 10 million!
A big step closer to his goal!
After sitting back in their seats, this year's four Fields Medal winners congratulated them again.
Next is the artistic performance at the opening ceremony.
However, Qiao Yu was not in the mood to go to those theatrical performances at this time, or even to exchange experiences with the Fields Medal winners around him. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the medal first.
Forget it if he didn't remember it before, but this time he wanted to post on Weibo as soon as possible and gain a lot of followers first.
The accompanying picture is just a photo of the medal, and the copywriting has already been thought out.
"I heard that this year a seventeen-year-old college student won the world's most famous mathematics award, the Fields Medal. Isn't this incredible?!"
Sure enough, as soon as this Weibo post was posted, it attracted tons of attention.
After all, what serious Fields Medal winner would interact with ordinary netizens on Weibo like this? A big math guy doesn’t want to lose face?
All in all, it’s full of freshness.
"Ah, yes, yes! Fake news, absolutely fake news!"
"Really, I found that Weibo is also promising! I can actually face the Philippine Awards boss on Weibo?!"
"He is worthy of being the youngest winner of the Fields Medal. Just by looking at this copy, you can tell that he wrote it himself!"
"Brother, please, don't do this! The teacher asked me to write an 800-word argumentative essay based on your deeds. As soon as you posted this on Weibo, I was completely fooled!"
"Brothers, this one is really shady, just give me a like and go directly to the next one!"
……
Really, in just a few dozen seconds, there were a bunch of messages.
Private messages are already about to explode...
However, Qiao Yu also logged out of Weibo after looking at the few messages in front of him. Posting on Weibo is just to gain more fans, maybe it will be used at some point.
He doesn't have the patience to imitate netizens' dirty talk. He is very familiar with this. When he was in Class 13 of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, although the students around him didn't have very good grades, they were all good at talking nonsense...
Sure enough, when I opened WeChat, the former classmate group became lively again. However, there was still not too much respect for knowledge, and the focus of the discussion turned out to be the US$1.5 million bonus.
On the contrary, Xia Keke sent him several messages. After quickly replying to Xia Keke, Qiao Yu put his phone in his pocket.
It's not that mobile phones are no longer fun, it's mainly because Qiao Yu suddenly found that the camera kept turning in his direction, so he still had to give the organizer some face.
During the theatrical performance above, he couldn't stop looking at his mobile phone, but when it was broadcast, he had to be nagged by Director Tian!
……
At the same time, in the capital of China, there was an office in a large building complex in the central area of the First Ring Road.
Yu Yanjiang was watching TV and chatting with an old man.
Commander-in-Chief Yu arrived at nine o'clock sharp, and it was not until nine twenty-five that the old man finished his work. Fortunately, the most important scene was not missed.
"The first Chinese mathematician to win the Fields Medal is only seventeen years old! Commander Yanjiang, the talent you recommended gave everyone a big surprise!"
Yu Yanjiang sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect that Qiao Yu would win the Fields Medal this year. Hey, when it first came out that he had solved the Riemann Hypothesis, I even called Yan Zhen.
He said that as a teacher, he did not teach students well and was not doing his job properly. Who would have thought that within a few days, the world mathematics community would recognize his article. It makes me a clown. ”
"Haha, you mean this kid's theory is wasted, right?" The old man said with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.
"That's not what I meant. The smartest people all like to talk about theories. Even if this guy takes the money, I don't know if he can get more ideas. Our project is urgent!"
Yu Yanjiang complained with a long sigh.
"It all depends on your ability. Qiao Yu is so young. I want to put more burdens on him, but I am afraid that he will have a rebellious mentality. But you can communicate more with Academician Tian and Mr. Yuan. I think this kid is very energetic. Maybe it can really cover everything.”
The old man said with a smile.
Yu Yanjiang thought for a while, nodded, and said, "This is the only way."
"Hmm. What do you think about the Academy of Sciences? Next year will be the academician recruitment year again. I asked, and it seems that someone from the School of Mathematics has already recommended this kid." The old man asked again.
"It must have been recommended by someone. After all, he is Academician Tian's student. I guess he will be able to pass next year. Qiao Yu is a good person, and he coaxes both Mr. Yuan and Academician Tian to go around.
The results themselves are too hard to say. If he passes the nomination and is not elected as an academician, it will be great fun. The International Mathematical Union dares to award him a Fields Medal. If he can't even become an academician here, it would be a joke.
It’s just that Yanbei University is unkind. Even though he knew that Qiao Yu was invited to the conference to receive an award, he didn't resolve the issue of his degree before going. At any rate, I can issue a bachelor's degree certificate, get a master's degree and Ph.D. degree, and then come back and write a paper as soon as possible so that my child can graduate! ”
Hearing that Yu Yanjiang was applying eye drops here without any scruples, the old man just smiled and said: "These are small things, we can discuss them when they come back.
In fact, the main reason I invite you here this time is to discuss with you people in the scientific community. This is the first Fields Medal that China has won. How should we reward it more appropriately? ”
After hearing these words, Yu Yanjiang felt mixed emotions in his heart. Age is indeed the most important thing in this era.
If Qiao Yu was already a professor in his thirties, or even in his twenties, he probably wouldn't be so embarrassed.
At the age of seventeen, winning two more Fields Medals would not be too surprising. But precisely because he is too young, he needs to carefully consider how to reward him.
The honor was given less, for fear that the child would be dissatisfied. If you give too much, what should you do if you achieve more outstanding results or make greater contributions in the future?
What would other people think if a seventeen-year-old received an honor that many people have dedicated their whole lives to never achieve?
The Riemann Hypothesis is very important! But can a mathematical genius’s flash of inspiration really make a greater contribution than a person’s decades of hard work?
It would be fine if it were just an academic contribution. But some of the things Qiao Yu is doing also have great potential at the application level, and he took the initiative to report them.
Not to mention that the current report is clearly trying to push Qiao Yu into a role model for young scientists. This problem is not just pushed to him...
After pondering for a long time, Yu Yanjiang said simply: "Otherwise, forget about the honor. Qiao Yu, who just won the Fields Medal, probably doesn't care about that, and he has been in the news several times! Just give him more practical rewards. ”
"Realistically?" the old man repeated, then smiled knowingly and said, "It seems that this child really only cares about the obvious!"
"Who says it's not the case? Young people today have completely different ideas than we did back then. And I'm sure you know Qiao Yu's situation. It's indeed quite special.
Listening to my childhood experiences makes me pity. What's more, he doesn't like money just for enjoyment. At least his reasons are understandable to me..."
Speaking of this, Yu Yanjiang said seriously: "But, we just can't let his ideal be realized too quickly. We have to wait until our moon landing project is successful."
"Haha, I'm probably convinced when you say that. Thank you for coming here. It's getting late, so I won't delay your return to rest."
"Then I'll take my leave first. Take care of yourself."
……
Philadelphia, USA.
The completion of the lively artistic performance also represents the perfect end of the opening ceremony.
The participating mathematicians and students also began to leave one after another. Next it’s lunch time.
Most people went directly to the conference center to eat at the buffet, but Mr. Yuan specifically told Qiao Yu yesterday that they would go back to the hotel restaurant for dinner at noon to celebrate his victory.
To be honest, for Chinese people, although the buffet dinner specially prepared by the organizing committee for mathematicians is quite rich, Qiao Yu is really not used to it.
Especially those salads and sandwiches. Qiao Yu ate once on the first day he came here. After eating, he just wanted to cry.
He couldn't even figure out why some people were crying and making trouble and insisted on coming to this wretched place.
Are you trying to eat pig food?
How can I bear this grievance after finally going abroad? After eating it, I feel like I haven’t eaten at all. Anyway, since that time, Qiao Yu has never been to the restaurant specially prepared by the organizing committee.
Probably because he was very excited about receiving the award, Qiao Yu still felt very hungry even though he didn't do anything in the morning.
I just ran into some trouble when leaving the venue. The reporter with great powers seemed to have predicted where he would come out and directly blocked him in the passage...
Not only him, but also Mr. Yuan, Director Tian, and Qiao Xi who had already gathered. Fortunately, Zheng Xiwen and Zhang Mingyu sandwiched him directly in the middle. It allowed Qiao Yu to experience what it felt like to be the center of attention offline.
"Joe, Joe, as the youngest Fields Medal winner in the world, how did you feel when you just learned that you won the award?"
"Didn't I just give my acceptance speech? You didn't get in, did you?" Qiao Yu replied in fluent English.
Mainly because this question was too boring, Qiao Yu answered it casually.
"Dr. Qiao, we have received news that although you have made great achievements in the field of mathematics and become a Fields Medal winner, you are still studying for a bachelor's degree in China.
In fact, you are at least qualified to be a professor in any university in the world, so what do you think is the root cause of this problem?
For example, is it because the Chinese education system is too rigid? ”
"Ah? What does this have to do with the Chinese education system? The school has wanted me to graduate for a long time, but I don't want to graduate!"
Qiao Yu replied immediately.
I have to say that these reporters are very provocative.
Although he didn't want to pay attention to these reporters, after all, this kind of issue involved his alma mater, and he felt it was necessary to help Yanbei University clarify it.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Obviously this answer made the reporter stunned, and asked almost subconsciously: "Why? You don't want to graduate?"
"Hey, uncle, I'm only seventeen years old! Can't you let me enjoy college life for two more years? Let a seventeen-year-old start working? Is it legal to employ child labor here? I won't lie to you over there. Huang Shiren in the old days was not like this!”
After saying that, Qiao Yu helplessly spread his hands and shrugged...
Many Chinese reporters nearby laughed out loud.
"Qiao, there is news from the BBC that your research can crack the law of large prime numbers, thereby threatening the security of the global digital system. Is this true? What is your response to this?"
This direct question made Qiao Yu stop in his tracks.
He replied seriously: "Yes, this is true! Just as true as the BBC's previous reports! And I also want to tell everyone that in fact, the Riemann Hypothesis is not my proof.
The fact is that I captured an alien, tortured him, and then got the proof process of the Riemann Hypothesis from his mouth!
Not only that, even the generalized modal axiom system is actually the product of alien civilization. Oh, by the way, the geometric Langlands conjecture was also a problem that aliens helped me find.
I hope you will inform the BBC to rescue this alien as soon as possible, otherwise I will still be able to torture out a lot of things in four years. I guess the next Fields Medal winner will be me! ”
"Huh? Really?"
"Really, Chinese people never lie! That alien is still locked up in the basement of my house!"
"Give me, please give me..." Zheng Xiwen and Zhang Mingyu, who were standing next to them, could no longer listen. Their movements began to become rude, and they no longer wanted to be part of the scientific research entourage!
There was no way, we really couldn't let Qiao Yu continue talking nonsense.
There are a bunch of cameras nearby, and Qiao Yu's nonsense will definitely be broadcast. They are afraid that some Westerners will really believe it, which will cause trouble for the subsequent security work.
There's no way around it. In a place that already likes all kinds of conspiracy theories, and even the flat earth theory has millions of supporters, sometimes it's really hard to reason.
If there weren't too many cameras at the scene, Zheng Xiwen would have simply blocked Qiao Yu's mouth!
How can there be so much nonsense every day that can make people sad to death? ! Zheng Ximing clearly remembered that he told Qiao Yu repeatedly during class that he should be careful about his words and deeds outside...
"Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu, are you running your Weibo yourself?" Seeing that Qiao Yu was about to break out of the encirclement, the Chinese reporter became anxious and asked directly in Chinese.
"Haha, yes, that's just a joke! Am I particularly humorous?"
……
"Do you really think you are funny? Look at you, how do you look like you have won an award?! Is it funny to talk nonsense in front of reporters? The organizing committee even arranged a press conference for you. You are like this How can I trust you to accept the interview?”
Without any surprise, when everyone sat down in the restaurant, Tian Yanzhen, who had seen all Qiao Yu's nonsense, began to scold him.
Zheng Xiwen next to him felt very happy and felt that Tian Yanzhen was simply his mouthpiece.
There was nothing he could do about it. It was fine for Qiao Yu to talk nonsense, but if something happened, he would really be in trouble after he went back. Still seriously hung up.
"No, Director Tian, forget about those people slandering me! I'm not angry, really, but they actually said that our Chinese education system is rigid, and I can't stand it! Isn't this the same as saying that your thinking is rigid?" Qiao Yu immediately defended.
Listen, not only does this kid not admit his mistake, he actually dares to talk back...
Zheng Xiwen glanced at Qiao Xi and felt that the mother should take action. If she didn't give him a beating, he wouldn't know how to repent!
Unfortunately, before Qiao Xi had time to speak, Mr. Yuan next to him spoke up: "Yan Zhen, what does it mean to discipline your children as soon as you start a good celebration party? Qiao Yu was right.
A bunch of people are making things difficult for our children, but we are not allowed to say anything back? How big of a deal is it worth mentioning privately and online? It's all over, just say a few words! ”
Zheng Xiwen was speechless!
Confused, Mr. Yuan...
Just because he is a child, he cannot be pampered, and he must be scolded when he should be scolded, otherwise he will not become a useful person... Well, even if he becomes a useful child, he must be scolded, otherwise he will easily drift away...
It's a pity that no one can hear Zheng Xiwen's voice.
After Mr. Yuan spoke, Tian Yanzhen just glanced at the old man and simply closed his mouth.
The atmosphere began to become very good, and the old man had already pulled Qiao Yu to pick something from the menu...
But thinking about it carefully, Tian Yanzhen couldn't help it.
To be honest, there were three mathematicians sitting at the table, two of whom were Fields Medal winners, but he was not...
In other words, there was still a meeting in the afternoon, and the meal at noon was equivalent to a family dinner, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much about Qiao Yu just now.
What a pity...
……
At the same time, at the buffet specially provided for the conference, Frank was absentmindedly putting a sandwich on the plate at the table, and suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Hi, Frank."
Frank turned around and saw Dennis walking towards him.
If the person Frank wanted to see the least at this time was Qiao Yu, then Dennis was the person he wanted to see second.
After all, the other party gained something, but he didn't.
It's just that he used to be a partner, and when people greeted him specifically, he could only smile.
"Hi Dennis, congratulations."
"Hey, there is nothing to congratulate. Just think about Joe. My achievements are not worth mentioning. By the way, have you seen Joe?"
"I didn't see it. He must have gone to celebrate, right? When I left the show, I seemed to see them going back to the hotel directly from another passage."
Frank pointed across the street.
He really saw it. After the opening ceremony in the morning, he had been paying attention to Qiao Yu's movements in the crowd.
Mainly because he didn't want to run into Qiao Xi.
"No wonder we didn't see him after looking around. Hey, I thought he would come to the restaurant for dinner when his opening report was given in the afternoon."
Dennis said rather regretfully.
"Oh. What are you looking for him for?"
"I conceived a new project and wanted to invite him to collaborate. You know, his system of generalized modal axioms is very attractive."
Frank suddenly felt that he shouldn't have spoken so harshly.
"You can send him an email and make an appointment." Frank said casually.
"Forget it, he has been too busy recently, and I can't make an appointment at all. I thought I could convince him face to face. It seems that I can only ask Pan. I hope Pan can help us."
Dennis shrugged and replied helplessly.
"Okay, don't worry, there are still several days of meetings, and he won't be so busy every day."
"Ah? Don't you know yet? Qiao will return to China tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He said there are some important things and he won't wait until the closing ceremony. At least that's what he said in the email."
"Oh?" Frank was a little lost after hearing the news.
Leaving so early? He hasn't decided yet whether to meet this guy or not!
