Chapter 995 Small Wins, Medium Wins and Big Wins
Due to the annual meeting, the main nodes of major projects are rarely set in mid-to-early March.
After all, many leaders and technical backbones are representatives attending the conference, so it would not be good no matter who is left behind.
Therefore, most of March passed quietly in the relatively dull daily work.
Until the end of the month...
According to previous arrangements, the Numerical Algorithms and Computational Science Conference will be held on the last weekend of March, that is, on the 30th and 31st.
Therefore, the finals as a warm-up for the conference naturally have to start two days in advance.
Considering that it is impossible for players to participate as soon as they get off the plane, they have to overcome jet lag and adapt to the venue equipment, so the entire conference will enter the process about a week before the official opening.
Logically speaking, whether it is a competition or a conference, the influence is mainly concentrated on the industry.
Even if it is earth-shattering in the industry, it is rarely noticed by the outside world.
But things are different this time.
On the one hand, this is the first time that a Chinese company has taken the lead as an "industry leader".
What’s more, it’s not a traditional industry that tells stories and sells concepts, but a serious high-tech industry.
On the other hand...
It's Chang Haonan himself.
This is the first time since he solved the Poincaré conjecture that he has participated in an event that is completely open to the media.
Therefore, even though many media outlets did not even know what the word "numerical algorithm" meant, they still flocked to the capital with the idea of making a three-pointer.
In short, when Chang Haonan appeared at the conference venue for the first time on March 24 to inspect the preparations as a special guest and sponsor leader, the situation at the scene was a little out of control...
In fact, originally, there was no special interview session arranged on this day, but according to regulations, during the preparations for the meeting, media who have passed the security inspection and qualification review can enter the venue to report on the preparations for the meeting, and obtain consent Interview staff under the premise.
So, after listening to Song Jingming's report and walking around a corner into the central conference hall, he unexpectedly met a group of people wearing media badges.
Among the crowd opposite, several people clearly recognized Chang Haonan's face immediately, so they subconsciously stopped.
Others were affected by this and quickly noticed this.
"Is that... Mr. Chang from Torch Group?"
Faced with the news that suddenly hit their faces, some people were not sure.
But no one answered his question.
Because everyone had already rushed forward...
Although everyone who appeared here had passed the security check, this posture still scared Zhu Yadan and the other two security personnel to death.
Fortunately, Song Jingming stepped forward in time and stopped the charging crowd two steps away.
"Mr. Chang, what are your expectations and wishes for the finals of the Mathematical Computing Competition that is about to begin?"
The first reporter even misremembered the name of the competition, but he still asked anyway. It is a question related to the topic.
Chang Haonan naturally responded in a formulaic manner:
“As the first competition for students in the field of numerical computing, I hope that the contestants can perform well or even break through their original levels. After all, for any industry, Young people represent the future..."
When Song Jingming heard this answer, he couldn't hold it back and quickly lowered his head, so as not to let his smile be noticed by the reporters opposite -< br>
As the organizer of the competition, he can see the personal information filled in by the contestants.
Although as an international event, there is no effective way to determine the age information of the players, most people will not fill it in blindly.
According to statistics, more than one-third of the contestants who finally participated in the finals are actually older than Chang Haonan...
So it is difficult to say who represents the future.
After someone started, the questions that followed became more and more free.
"Mr. Chang, it is said that Torch Group's competitor COMSOL performed very well in the preliminary round. Do you have any measures in the final?"
This is obviously done. A lot of homework.
"Ahem... there is nothing to target, and there is no need to target."
Chang Haonan's answer highlighted Wei Guangzheng:
"Numerical computing is a very large and open market. We All competitors are welcome, and it is precisely because of their existence that this field has developed rapidly in recent years..."
"Professor Chang, there are many rumors about you and Perret. Professor Mann may be awarded the Fields Medal together at the International Congress of Mathematicians at the end of the year. What do you think about this?”
“I have not paid special attention to this matter, so I have no opinion...and If you ask this before the final results are announced, it will give people a feeling of being appointed, and the impact will be very bad..."
"The prize from the Clay Institute of Mathematics will definitely be awarded at the Mathematicians Conference. Do you have any plans for the money..." The reporter just said hesitantly.
"Uh... no plan."
Chang Haonan shook his head directly.
“Huh?”
The other party was immediately confused by this unreasonable answer.
“For me, this is a normal bonus income, and there is no need to make special plans...”
“Oh...”
The reporter is holding the microphone My hands shook, and I suddenly felt a little heartbroken...
"..."
...
While Chang Haonan was chatting with the Confucians.
Beijing International Airport.
A United Airlines Boeing 777 slowly stopped taxiing and docked precisely next to the covered bridge.
Most of the passengers on the plane were exhausted from the long-distance flight of more than 13 hours. After hearing the departure channel opening, they all stood up like zombies to get their luggage.
However, Lyles Connor and others who came to China to participate in the competition still maintained a relatively energetic state by relying on their youth, coupled with the jet lag of being night owls who stayed up late for a long time, and of course their sense of freshness.
“I must say, this place is different from what I imagined before I came here.”
Hermia, who was sitting by the window, said that she gathered her hair and then walked out of the window. He took out his hat from his bag and put it on:
“I thought the capital city should be similar to Mexico City, but before landing just now, I took a special look below and found that at least the overall planning of the city is much neater than that of Mexico, and there are no There is a way to distinguish the rich areas from the slums at a glance..."
It can be seen from the surname that Hermia is a Hispanic student.
Although she was born in the United States, she has many relatives in Mexico.
Therefore, before today, his only concept of a third world country was Mexico.
For this reason, I was once worried about the safety of my group.
"Although I have never left the United States before, China successfully bid for the Olympic Games last year..."
George Folger, who was sitting outside, had already packed several people's luggage. I moved down and just waited for the people in front to give up their positions:
"I think...since the International Olympic Committee is willing to hold the Olympics here, it at least shows that the level of urban construction will not be much worse than Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney..."
At the beginning of the 21st century, this meeting , No country has yet implemented those abstract tricks in the process of hosting the Olympic Games, so not only Chinese people, but people all over the world still have some positive filters for the Olympics.
In fact, this was the main reason why China launched a nationwide effort to bid for the Olympics -
as a window to show itself to the world.
Who would have thought that he would achieve the pinnacle by accident? .
At this time, Professor Jameson, who was sitting in the front row, also turned around
"I know a few Chinese professors working in the capital. If you want, you can let him do this before the game. I'll take you around for a few days."
Jameson said:
"You have been very well prepared for this month. The last few days are mainly about adjusting your state, just be careful not to worry. If you go too far, just make sure you rest..."
"What about you...and Mr. Hertz?"
Hermia looked up at Jameson and Haltz in front of her.
"Well...the old man can't compare to you young people."
Jameson shook his head:
"This time I fly down, I can do it before the meeting." It will be good to take it easy..."
"As for Hertz..."
Before Jameson could finish speaking, Hertz quickly picked up the conversation:
“In the period after the preliminary round, many companies have begun to realize the value of COMSOL.”
When he said this, the slight fatigue on his face disappeared, and instead he revealed a feeling of satisfaction:
“So before I came to China, I had already I have found several companies to discuss cooperation, but I can’t act with you these days..."
