Chapter 202 High-standard reception
Departing from Philadelphia on time the next day, we returned to China by special plane. Qiao Yu also realized how comfortable it is to travel on a large special plane.
The one responsible for this mission was an Airbus ACJ380 modified based on the 380. It was equipped with six luxurious bedrooms. One of the master bedroom suites where Qiao Yu lived had a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and an office.
What’s even more annoying is that the bed on the plane is temperature-controlled...
In addition, there is a conference room, a gym, two restaurants, a small spa room and a small cinema that can accommodate ten people...
All kinds of detailed decoration are extremely luxurious.
Compared with the plane he took when he went to Australia to participate in the IMO competition, Qiao Yu felt that they were just two different means of transportation.
A bunch of people crammed into a small space. When going to the toilet, you have to walk sideways.
Unlike on this plane, he can even take a hot bath, and then go for a spa treatment...
Where is the rush here? It's like a vacation...
"Uncle Zheng, how much does it cost to rent this plane?" After walking around on the plane, Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask.
"The basic cost is about 230,000, but there are additional additional costs of about 100,000. The cost of this one-way charter flight is about 330,000."
"So cheap?"
"Really? What if the unit of measurement is US dollars?"
Qiao Yu suddenly understood that he had finally solved a conjecture, and it was only enough to fly like this four and a half times.
Based on the captain's previous announcement that the flight would take about twelve hours, his bonus was only enough to enjoy for 54 hours.
"This is a friendly price. Generally speaking, Saudi wealthy people will not rent out this kind of private jet. Thanks to you, this is my first time to enjoy it." Zheng Xiwen added.
"It costs more than 300,000 US dollars to rent one time. How much does it cost to buy one and decorate it?" Qiao Yu said with emotion.
Zheng Xiwen smiled and said: "Don't think about it for the time being. Not to mention buying it, I asked around and found that even if this aircraft does not fly even once a year, the maintenance costs alone will cost 50 million US dollars.
< br>
Therefore, more than 300,000 US dollars for a rental is really a friendly price. No exaggeration at all. This can add up to the cost of leaving the aircraft in the hangar, the cost of deploying the crew, the cost of refueling, and the empty aircraft dispatch, making the flight completely unprofitable. ”
Qiao Yu nodded and temporarily stopped thinking.
This is indeed too extravagant. I finally understand what it means to live in Rome.
This level of enjoyment is a little too much. Except for those people for whom money is really just a number, not to mention the 90% of ordinary people, even the top 10% of the pyramid, at least half of them are not qualified to think about it.
Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he needed to review. His previous thoughts were too childish! He clearly knows that making money depends on eating from the rich!
If you really want to make money, you still have to earn money from these rich people. Compared with these rich people, all domestic research institutes and universities are miserable...
Even if they squeeze out all the funds they can use for computing in a year, how much more money will they have? But it's different if you do business with those rich people. If they make a little mistake, they can probably destroy the spending power of those scientific research workers.
If he could seize the needs and pain points of those rich people and make them eager to queue up to pay, then Qiao Yu would never dare to imagine how much he could earn in the future.
Sure enough, there is a saying that is right, choosing a track is far more important than working hard!
So Qiao Yu began to retreat and reflect during the entire voyage.
When he was playing games, he knew that he had to hang out with his older brothers to make money. Why did he ignore those real older brothers when he was in the math world?
The previous behaviors and thinking patterns that were extremely disrespectful towards the rich brother must not be repeated again.
The Xiaoyu Technology platform still needs to be developed, but don’t think about making money from those hard-working people.
Help them more and collect more data. You still have to make the cake bigger first.
Whether it is quantum simulation or the stingy description of lunar tourism development, they are all good projects. They can all be stuck on the needs and pain points of the rich.
So Lao Yu has to pay more attention to things there. Let's give Lao Yutou a little taste of the sweetness first. Even if the lunar tourist base is decades away, we must prepare for a rainy day.
After all, he is still young. Twenty years later, he will only be thirty-seven, not even old enough to win the Fields Medal.
In addition, he also has to learn some financial knowledge. When it comes to the technical design of financial security, you cannot know anything about the operation of finance.
As for the study of pure mathematics...
Well, Qiao Yu thinks he is still young, so there is no need to be too anxious about this and just let it go. After all, solving those math problems also requires inspiration.
Anyway, there is still a cooperation project with Peter Schulz ahead of him, so Director Tian and Mr. Yuan will definitely not say anything.
And Qiao Xi helped him share the pressure.
As a son, he has already won the Fields Medal, so as a mother, she can't be too lazy.
I have been studying this for so long and still have no results. It makes me angry just thinking about it. How can he step on Frank's head and pull him away from now on?
Perfect...
In this way, when the plane arrived in the capital, Qiao Yu had already completed his future development plan in his mind.
When the plane started to land, Qiao Yu's cell phone started to buzz with a series of messages.
You can't blame Qiao Yu for his lack of quality. He didn't even turn off his phone after the plane landed.
Mainly according to Lao Zheng, this flight was operated under Private Flight Rules Part 91, and there was no need to turn off the mobile phone during takeoff and landing.
Most of them were from Philadelphia asking for safety. What puzzled him the most was a text message sent by the operator.
"Huaxia Publicity BU and Huaxia Science and Technology BU jointly awarded Qiao Yu the title of Outstanding Young Scientist. I hope that all young people can learn from Qiao Yu and strive to become outstanding young scientists."
What is a surprise? That’s it! Before he even got off the plane, he received a text message commending him.
It was also noted that it was a public welfare text message from the operator. According to this meaning, it was probably sent by all three major operators, which means that everyone in China probably received this text message.
Whether you pay attention to it is another matter, but it still makes people feel quite proud.
The plane finally landed, and when it was slowly driving through the airport, Zheng Xiwen came directly to him.
"Well, I told you before that there will be a high-level welcome ceremony when we get off the plane. Many leaders from the capital and ministries are here, and there are TV stations recording. Don't talk nonsense."
"The one on TV? There are so many people when you get off the plane?" Qiao Yu asked curiously, then opened the curtains and looked outside.
But the plane was still moving slowly and nothing could be seen.
"It's not bad, it depends on what kind of TV you are watching. This is a civilian airport after all, so it may not be that exaggerated." Zheng Xiwen replied uncertainly.
He only found out about this three hours ago, but Qiao Yu had been shutting himself in the bedroom, and he was too lazy to bother Qiao Yu with such nonsense.
It would be okay if Qiao Yu was resting, but after staying with Qiao Yu for a long time, I heard this guy say that mathematicians' inspiration is very inexplicable, and there is also a saying of epiphany.
It is said that the inspiration for solving the Riemann Hypothesis came from an epiphany. So Zheng Xiwen felt that there was no need to disturb Qiao Yu for such a trivial matter.
It would be bad if someone was having an epiphany in the bedroom and his inspiration was interrupted.
"So I want to change into formal clothes?" Qiao Yu asked.
"I think it's up to you. Anyway, you are promoted as a student in China. Just wear your current outfit to look more energetic."
……
The plane finally stopped and the cabin door opened. When Qiao Yu stepped out of the plane, he realized that today was indeed a big event.
What comes into view is a large banner that is far more imposing than Star City No. 1 Middle School: "Welcome the youngest Fields Medal winner - Qiao Yu, a student from the elite class of the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, to return to China and return to school!"
There is no doubt that this banner was probably paid for by Yanbei University.
What made Qiao Yu even more confused was that there were two rows of senior primary school students below, holding flowers to welcome him...
This specification is indeed a bit high.
After all, it is still summer vacation. Qiao Yu feels that it is not easy to organize so many students. It will take some effort.
Behind the student lineup stood several rows of middle-aged and elderly people, who should be the leaders who came to pick them up.
Qiao Yu's sharp eyes actually saw Zhang Tiejun, the principal of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, and the good old man.
Although the two of them were standing in the back row, with only one head exposed, they stood out among a group of people he didn't know very well. To be honest, this detail really touched Qiao Yu, but it also made him suddenly think of something, and he felt a little guilty.
It's over. When the good old man took him to Xiaozhou to participate in the Little Libaba Mathematics Competition, he promised the good old man that if he could win the Fields Medal in the future, he would definitely take the good old man with him to receive the award.
But after more than a year, he actually forgot!
This made Qiao Yu feel very guilty. He was such a good man, but he actually forgot about him at the critical moment.
Although he did not forget the good old man in his Fields Medal acceptance speech, he did not invite the good old man to come and watch him receive the award?
"Why are you dazed? Hurry and go down!"
Zheng Xiwen, who was still following Qiao Yu, clearly felt that Qiao Yu was not in the right mood and immediately spoke out to remind him.
Well, there's no way around it. Fortunately, he is still young. If he really cannot win another Fields Medal, he must remember to invite the good old man next time...
Based on his understanding of the Fields Medal, there is actually no ban on a person winning it twice. The reason why no one has been able to win twice before is mainly due to the age limit of forty years old.
Most of the people who can win the award are in their thirties. In addition, the Fields Medal is only awarded once every four years. To be honest, it is really difficult to win twice.
But he is only 17 years old this year, and he still has twenty-three years before he turns 40, which is equivalent to five more chances for him.
Qiao Yu didn't believe that he couldn't win another award! There are still five Millennium Mathematics puzzles yet to be solved!
If there was no precedent, he would discuss it with the president of the International Mathematical Union. He didn't believe it anymore. As long as his achievements were enough, those old men could really ignore his achievements.
If he really dares to refuse to agree, the worst he can do is take the lead in questioning the credibility of the Fields Medal. If he is forced to do so, he will get a mathematics prize to compete with the Fields Medal!
As long as you dare to think of a way, there is always a way!
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu felt confident. Although he promised the good old man that he would definitely take him to the International Congress of Mathematicians to see him receive the award, but which time did he not say? This makes perfect sense!
So Qiao Yu smiled, waved downwards, and walked boldly...
"This is..."
"Hello."
"Qiao Yu, welcome to your return to China. On behalf of the Ministry of Science, I would like to express my warmest congratulations to you..."
"Thank you."
"This is..."
"Hello."
……
Seven or eight leaders, big and small, came, and Qiao Yu seemed to look familiar to them all.
It took about ten minutes for everyone to say a few words. That is to say, the pick-up area was quite shady. If he was exposed to the sun, Qiao Yu would almost lose his patience.
Finally it was the turn to talk to Director Zhang and the good old man.
Seeing that both of them, Qiao Yu's smiles became much more sincere. After all, he was very touched by the difference between adding icing on the cake and providing help in times of need.
"Principal Zhang, Teacher Lan, I'm so happy to see you!"
"You can't call me Principal Zhang. You should call me Director Zhang now! Also, congratulations to you Qiao Yu!" Lan Jie took the initiative to take over Qiao Yu's words and corrected him.
"Hello, Director Zhang!"
"Hey, stop talking, it's embarrassing for me. Congratulations, Qiao Yu! This Fields Medal of yours really cheers up our Xingtie No.1 Middle School! Speaking of which, our Xingtie No.1 Middle School will rely on you to support us from now on. Ah!”
Zhang Tiejun held Qiao Yu's hand and refused to let go, saying with a happy face.
He believed that Qiao Yu would definitely develop greatly in the future. But he really didn't expect that after two years of hard work, Qiao Yu would actually win a Fields Medal.
I'm running out of imagination.
When the Fields Medal was mentioned, Qiao Yu immediately broke away from Zhang Tiejun's hand, looked at Lan Jie, and began to apologize sincerely.
"Teacher Lan, I'm so sorry. I told you last time that when I receive the Fields Medal, I will invite you to watch the ceremony. But I forgot about it in the excitement.
But don’t worry, I’m still young. I’ll have to call you next time I win the Fields Medal! I will definitely not forget this time! I asked Qiao Xi to remember it for me too! ”
"Huh?" Qiao Yu stunned Lan Jie with two words.
Speaking of which, when Qiao Yu gave his acceptance speech on the international mathematician stage, Lang Jie never expected that Qiao Yu would specifically mention his name.
I almost cried when I was watching the live broadcast...
Just now he was thinking about how to talk to Qiao Yu about this, but Qiao Yu's words immediately stopped him.
He asked uncertainly: "Have you ever said that?"
Qiao Yu immediately replied: "I told you, you forgot, it was that time you took me to Xiaozhou to participate in the Little Li Baba Mathematics Competition, I said it on the train.
After saying that, Qiao Yu solemnly promised: "Teacher Lan, don't worry, I will do it next time!"
These words made Zhang Tiejun next to him a little jealous, and the leaders next to him looked at each other in even more confusion.
After all, this will definitely be difficult to evaluate next time...
Just when Qiao Yu felt that the welcome ceremony was almost over and he could get in the car and leave, he never expected that the highlight was yet to come.
"Qiao Yu, don't worry, don't worry, there is still one more step."
"Is there another link?"
"Haha...Bu Liu, it's up to you to announce it."
"Yes. Qiao Yu, in order to commend your outstanding achievements, based on the research decision of Huaxia Science and Technology BU, you are specially awarded the title of Outstanding Youth Science Award and a bonus of 20 million yuan."
When Qiao Yu heard the big boss from the Ministry of Science and Technology announcing this decision with a serious face, he almost didn't react.
All I can say is that my family is the best!
After traveling thousands of miles this time, the total bonus received was less than 11 million yuan converted into RMB.
My family's money is 20 million! That’s twice what those foreigners gave me! The most important thing is that there was no news at all before, it was a complete surprise.
How should I put it, this is much more meaningful than giving him a reward title for outstanding young scientists.
At this time, the boss's words continued.
"This is not only an affirmation of your achievements, but also a hope that you will continue to maintain the spirit of climbing to the top in your future scientific research and contribute more wisdom and achievements to mathematics research in China and even the world.
We hope that you can continue to pay attention to and support the scientific and technological undertakings of the motherland, communicate more with domestic scientific research institutions and the younger generation of scientists, and contribute to promoting my country's basic scientific research to a new level..."
To be honest, Qiao Yu couldn't remember clearly what the boss said later, but he remembered clearly that the bonus arrived before dinner.
A personal call from his dedicated bank account manager.
If he hadn't been busy at the time, the sweet-voiced account manager would have introduced him to several mature, stable and high-yield financial products.
I have to say that this efficiency is much faster than those in the west. Before he could react, his family assets doubled again by 1.5 times.
That is to say, this time he came back and took a private plane, which made Qiao Yu's threshold for wealth reach an infinite level, otherwise he might be able to have a drink in excitement.
But I was still very happy, so happy that I dragged the good guy not to stay in the hotel, but directly took him to the small house in Huaqing to chat until late at night.
Then of course the next day he took the good old man to find Zheng Xiwen.
"Uncle Zheng, I originally planned to go back to Star City. Principal Zhang and Teacher Lan are just in time. They have booked high-speed rail tickets back to Star City at noon. I will go back with them."
"Wait a minute, has your instructor agreed?" Zheng Xiwen felt his head hurt again.
"I must agree. Director Tian said before going to Philadelphia that he would give me a week's vacation to return to Star City. If you don't believe me, I'll call Director Tian now?" Qiao Yu said eloquently.
"Then you wait for me to call and ask." Zheng Xiwen finally realized what was the biggest problem in bringing Qiao Yu back to China early.
Good guy, the boss and my mother are still having meetings abroad. Looking at the country, it seems that no one can really control this kid.
"Okay, by the way, help me tell Director Tian that my tickets have been booked." Qiao Yu said with a smile.
He really didn't lie. Tian Yanzhen really promised him before going to Philadelphia.
Hearing these words, Zheng Xiwen put the phone he took out back. He sighed and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhang and I will accompany you to Star City. I'll buy the tickets right now."
