Chapter 202 The difference between doing scientific research and going to the toilet (4k)
"Green Mountain."
Chen Dayue opened his mouth to explain to Xu Qingshan, but Xu Qingshan raised his hand to stop him.
"It's okay, let's listen first."
Xu Qingshan was not in a hurry to enter the conference room. Instead, he stood at the door with great interest and wanted to hear the opinions of these non-returning senior brothers.
"Moreover, it only proves that he has talent in the computer field. Mathematics is not easy to say. I don't know what Teacher Chen thinks. A paper on the history of mathematics can make him help so wholeheartedly."
"He doesn't learn from Teacher Tian, so he can't be considered our junior brother."
"That's right!"
The more Xu Qingshan listened, the more his smile grew.
It seems that this group of senior brothers who are not returning have a lot of opinions on themselves.
"You all should calm down. I have read his paper on Markov logic networks. It is very detailed and has a solid foundation in statistical probability. His mathematical thinking is very good."
Suddenly, a thicker and steady voice sounded, interrupting the laughter of others.
"I don't know if he is interested in arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory. If he is interested, I think I will have the opportunity to cooperate with my junior brother in the future."
Chen Dayue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, someone took a stand.
Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for him to call Xu Qingshan all the way here and have people make irresponsible remarks?
It's just that Lao Chen was caught in the middle, and it wasn't easy for him to do it. His head was spinning wildly, thinking about how to comfort Xu Qingshan.
"Don't think too much."
Xu Qingshan said instead.
"They don't represent Beijing University."
Xu Qingshan shrugged and said relaxedly.
"They don't even plan to come back to Beijing University. Does it feel honorable to be their junior brother?"
Chen Dayue's expression froze.
He suddenly felt that what Xu Qingshan said made sense.
"If I guess correctly, the one who said he read my thesis should be Senior Brother Xu Chenyang, and the one who wants to cooperate with me should be Senior Brother Liu Ruochuan, right?"
Xu Qingshan said firmly.
Chen Dayue was stunned for a moment, nodded mechanically, and asked aloud in confusion.
"Have you seen them? Or have you seen their videos somewhere?"
Chen Dayue could tell who was speaking just now, but how did Xu Qingshan know that?
"Because teacher, you just introduced me."
Xu Qingshan replied calmly.
"Attitude determines perspective, butt determines head. How they view me determines their mentality towards Beijing University."
"Senior Brother Xu Chenyang is still hesitating whether to return to China. He is the most academically capable. Naturally, he must maintain a fair attitude toward me, otherwise it will be difficult for him both internally and externally."
"As for Senior Brother Ruochuan, I think the probability of him returning to China is greater than that of Senior Brother Chenyang. He is running around, obviously in the direction of learning the scientific research system and integrating teaching and research. Otherwise, if he stays in one place for half a year, how can he really produce anything core? Result?"
Xu Qingshan analyzed softly.
"His direction is p-adic Hodgetheory, p-adic Hodge theory. As the core branch of current arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory, Mr. Wiles proved Fermat's last theorem, Mr. Faltings proved Model's conjecture and other major events. played a key role.”
"If Senior Brother Ruochuan wants to go in the direction of algebraic topology, then he needs to calm down and study."
"Why is he running around if he doesn't want to come back?"
"Let's go in and meet these senior brothers."
Xu Qingshan smiled, walked forward, knocked on the door and pushed open the conference room door.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Chen Dayue reacted and quickly followed into the conference room.
"Uh-huh!"
Although there was no sound, when Xu Qingshan knocked on the door and pushed open, everyone in the conference room shut up for an instant and looked at the young man at the door.
I saw that the young man was neither humble nor arrogant.
Under the gaze of so many big guys, he still walked into the conference room very calmly.
Xu Qingshan glanced at the people in the conference room with a smile.
According to the introduction and explanation given to him by Chen Dayue just now, he can roughly recognize who is who.
Wang Shicheng, Tian Gang, Zhang Jiping, Wang Changping, Zong Chuanming and others were sitting on one side, while on the other side was the overseas golden generation headed by Xu Chenyang, Liu Ruochuan and others.
As for the academicians from the other Beijing University factions that Chen Dayue mentioned, no one came.
After all, most of them are old. Except for Jiang Baiju, who was invited to Longjiang by Zhang Jincai for a special look because he heard about Xu Qingshan's special qualities, most of the other academicians actually don't care much anymore.
At the moment, young academicians like Wang Shicheng and Tian Gang are the ones who show up more often.
Both of them were born in the 1950s and are now in their early fifties. They are in their prime in terms of academic work and education.
"Hello everyone."
Xu Qingshan did not find a seat in the conference room, but walked openly to the whiteboard in the conference room.
The conference room in the Yingjie Communication Center is not equipped with a blackboard, but it is equipped with a whiteboard that requires writing with a marker.
After all, there are not many scenes where a blackboard is needed here, so there is no need to make it pink.
There are many spare whiteboards in the corner of the conference room.
Perhaps many people cannot guess the purpose of these whiteboards.
That is, when the on-site idea boards for some small meetings are so well written that some people are reluctant to erase them, then just take the whiteboards back and continue to study them yourself.
It can only be said that Beijing University is still too powerful.
Everyone was confused about Xu Qingshan's behavior. Chen Dayue followed behind and saw Xu Qingshan standing at the explanation desk.
"Little Ancestor, stop making trouble. Let's just come down and chat with the teachers and senior brothers. There is nothing important today, so you don't need to perform."
Chen Dayue quickly reached for Xu Qingshan's hand and muttered anxiously.
"No, Lao Chen, please sit down and give me some trust."
Xu Qingshan's progressive answer made Chen Dayue feel helpless.
OK.
I can't persuade you to do anything, I can't pull you back.
The following are either my leaders and old leaders, colleagues, or my students.
Chen Dayue felt like he was numb.
You won’t be embarrassed this time, right?
Chen Dayue lowered his head and sat back down, but before anyone could question Xu Qingshan, this guy took the lead and started introducing himself.
"Teachers, two senior brothers, and others."
The expressions of the people in the audience changed.
Isn’t Xu Qingshan’s words too targeted?
They also determined one thing. When they were discussing Xu Qingshan wantonly inside, they were listening outside and only came in after they finished talking.
"I am Xu Qingshan, the junior fellow in Beijing who didn't choose the Academy."
Xu Qingshan chuckled and continued.
"That shouldn't be a problem."
"Our class should be the first one I report to. There should be no one younger than me in the entire Beijing University for the time being."
"But there is nothing wrong with what those big guys just said. I am indeed not your junior brother. After all, you don't plan to come back." Xu Qingshan had a smile on his face, but there was no fig leaf in his words.
Wang Shichen, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but laugh twice. Tian Gang, who was on the side, turned away and glared at Chen Dayue speechlessly. Zhang Jiping's face was full of helplessness and regret. Wang Changping was thoughtfully admiring his own person on the stage. Little fellow.
But Yun Zhiwei, Zhang Wei, and Zhu Xinwen, who had just spoken, didn't look very good.
But they couldn't say anything.
Others are not afraid of crickets behind their backs.
The scary thing is that the cricket man behind the scenes was overheard by the real owner and was questioned on the spot by the real owner.
Although Xu Qingshan did not question him, he said something that made them feel even more guilty.
"Teachers, please forgive me."
Xu Qingshan smiled at the teachers, and his smile was much more friendly.
"I'm young, so I didn't prepare any gifts when I came here this time. How about I give everyone a gift?"
Xu Qingshan didn’t let the teachers answer either.
He was clearly using his young age, great potential, and his status as a junior from Beijing University to let the big guys give him some relief.
And indeed it is.
At this time, Xu Qingshan is indeed like a monkey in the eyes of the big guys.
And he also helped vent the discomfort they just felt.
In fact, the most uncomfortable people here are Zhang Jiping and Tian Gang.
At that time, around the turn of the millennium, Zhang Jiping spent a lot of effort to create a golden generation. It was at that time that Tian Gang was invited back by Zhang Jiping to serve as a part-time mentor. Later, in 2001, he was made an exception by Peking University to be evaluated as an academician, in 2003, as a specially appointed full-time professor, and in 2005. He organized the Beijing International Mathematics Research Center in 2006 and served as its director, which injected a powerful shot in the arm into the School of Mathematics at Beijing University.
According to Tian Gang and Zhang Jiping's plan, if not all of Xu Chenyang's golden generation came back, but at least half of them would be able to successfully run the International Mathematics Center affiliated with Beijing University.
Who would have thought.
These little brats came back to visit their alma mater, but they signed the contracts one by one in advance, without leaving any room for negotiation, and they took advantage of the domestic and foreign environment at every turn.
Only Xu Chenyang and Liu Ruochuan were better, and Xiao Liang didn't express any opinions. Other than that, everyone else was determined to stay abroad.
"you"
Zhang Weigang wanted to speak.
But he was interrupted loudly by Xu Qingshan.
"I don't have much talent. Everyone has seen me perform hip-hop on ICML. The venue here is not suitable, so I'll just tell a joke."
Xu Qingshan said loudly.
"All ears."
Wang Shichen has spoken. He has a high status at Peking University. After all, he received a bachelor's degree from Peking University and a master's degree from Peking University. After graduation, he has been teaching at Peking University. In addition to studying for a doctorate at the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States from 1986 to 1988, he has spent dozens of years since then. He left all the work to Peking University in 2007, and later served as deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics at Peking University until he resigned last year.
In terms of scientific research achievements, it may not be that dazzling, but it is definitely not bad, and he is well-deserved to be selected as an academician.
He won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award in 2001 for his research on the topological properties of three-dimensional manifolds. In 2002, he was invited to give a 45-minute report at the World Congress of Mathematicians. In 2005, he was elected as an academician.
If we really talk about the foundation, domestically, he has more say than Tian Gang.
So when he spoke, no one at the scene dared to interrupt and ask Xu Qingshan to come down.
Xu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards Wang Shichen.
He had heard from Chen Dayue that Academician Wang usually loved traveling and listening to operas, and his jokes had something to do with operas.
"Then I'll show my shame."
Xu Qingshan raised his hand and drew a horizontal line on the whiteboard, wrote a few big characters, turned around and said.
"Teachers, there is no need to say anything, but fellow seniors, I want to ask you a question."
“What’s the difference between doing research and going to the bathroom?”
As soon as these words came out, combined with the words behind Xu Qingshan, everyone present looked surprised.
What on earth is this kid trying to do?
“The difference?”
"These two are completely different things. Isn't it funny?"
Zhu Xinwen said dissatisfiedly.
In fact, he didn't want to go back to his alma mater at all.
In other words, in his mind, Peking University is not really an alma mater. He just studied here for his undergraduate degree.
He has witnessed the advanced level of scientific research in basic disciplines in developed countries in the United States, and has also witnessed the treatment of scientists in developed countries.
Compared with the treatment in China that is unworthy of even flattering developed countries, Zhu Xinwen has no intention of returning to China.
Xu Qingshan looked at him and said with a smile.
"It doesn't seem to be the same thing. In fact, senior, think about it, are doing scientific research really different from going to the toilet?"
Xu Qingshan slowly put forward what he thought were the common points while asking questions.
"It's all suppressed."
"It feels good to have food in your stomach, but it will be painful to hold it in."
"Even if you have food in your stomach, you still have to have paper."
“The more papers I have, the more at ease I feel.”
"The paper cannot be used by others."
“Even if the paper has been used by others, it doesn’t matter if you can’t tell.”
"If you're lucky, you can borrow paper."
"If you really don't have paper, it will take a lot of courage to just leave."
"Of course, if you are fearless, you don't need paper even if you are running thin."
At first, when it came to holding it in, everyone was a little unable to react.
But when Xu Qingshan mentioned paper, some people couldn't help laughing.
After all, what we are doing is academic, especially the golden generation that has just truly entered the stage of cutting-edge academics.
Although they were indeed brilliant and talented during their student days, they were also called the Golden Age.
But when they really devoted themselves to front-line scientific research work, the initial stage was really in line with what Xu Qingshan said.
On the contrary, tenured faculty like Wang Shichen, Tian Gang, and Chen Dayue, who are all full professors, do not feel that deeply at all.
after all.
One cannot have the feelings of youth and youth at the same time.
The current golden generation of Beijing masters are in the adolescence of their scientific research careers.
"Junior brother, what you said is really good."
Liu Ruochuan said with a smile, but he dared to applaud in front of everyone.
Xu Qingshan looked at Liu Ruochuan with a smile.
One thing to say, not to mention Senior Ruochuan's kindness to him, Xu Qingshan also thinks that he is very eye-catching. He is really handsome and his smile is very approachable.
"It's really vivid."
Seeing Liu Ruochuan's statement, Xu Chenyang pushed up his glasses and spoke out.
"He's an interesting boy."
Tian Gang also laughed and shook his head, commenting on Xu Qingshan's cleverness.
The part about Yao Xingteng’s troubles in the previous chapter was actually deleted by the censors without any big words.
