Chapter 138 Academic Lectures (99 110)

"Dear Mr. Ming Zhou, this is Princeton University.

First of all, we don't know the specific reason for your rejection of our last invitation, but we are very sorry.

This time, we hope to invite you to come to our school's Institute of Mathematics to give an academic lecture..."

On the 26th, Zhou Ming received another email from Princeton. This time it was still an invitation letter, but it was not an invitation to Zhou Ming to become a professor at Princeton.

After all, Zhou Ming rejected Princeton University's invitation last time, and Princeton University is also one of the world's top universities. They will not send out the same invitation again after Zhou Ming rejected it once. They will not pay attention to Maolu.

It is Andrew Wiles who has proved Fermat's last theorem. If Princeton University invites him once but is rejected by Princeton University, then Princeton University will not invite him a second time, not to mention that Zhou Ming is far more powerful than Not on this big guy.

This time, they wanted to invite Zhou Ming to give an academic lecture in Princeton.

Facing the invitation from Princeton University, Zhou Ming neither refused nor agreed. Instead, he gave an answer that he was busy recently, not sure when he would be free, and would definitely visit Princeton University when he was free.

In fact, Zhou Ming's reply is equivalent to a refusal, but it is not as deadly as the refusal. If he wants to go sometime next year, he can say that he is not so busy now, and he can go to Princeton University to give an academic lecture.

And if Zhou Ming made some great achievements in the mathematics field next time, Princeton could still invite Zhou Ming to give an academic lecture at their school again.

If Zhou Ming's refusal this time is the same as when Princeton University invited him to teach last time, then the refusal is too deadly, and Princeton University will not invite Zhou Ming again next time.

Since Zhou Ming rejected Princeton University's invitation twice and he didn't announce it, the outside world didn't know about it. They are still discussing Zhou Ming's proof of the twin prime number conjecture, but the popularity of online discussions has not reached the second level. One day so high.

Originally, since Zhou Ming graduated from Metalworking University, Zhao Letian, who had not been involved in the topic of Zhou Ming, appeared in the topic about Zhou Ming again after Zhou Ming became a hot search on the whole network.

After searching for Zhou Ming's name again after nearly half a year, Zhao Letian found out that the discussion about Zhou Ming on Weihu has never stopped. Not long ago, there were many people discussing Zhou Ming on the artificial intelligence section of Weihu.

Zhao Letian clicked on the relevant discussion content, and after a closer look, he realized that it was Zhou Ming who published two papers on artificial intelligence in a domestic artificial intelligence journal not long ago.

These two papers are [Mathematical Research on Artificial Intelligence] and [Alternative Application of Bayesian Formula to Bayesian Algorithm] published by Zhou Ming on "Artificial Intelligence".

After watching the discussion on Zhou Ming in the field of artificial intelligence, Zhao Letian discovered that a little earlier, there were also discussions about Zhou Ming in related topics in the field of neurobiology.

"Hey, look." After finding out that the discussion about Zhou Ming on Weihu has never stopped, Zhao Letian shouted to the other two roommates in the dormitory, "I thought I haven't seen Zhou Ming online in the past six months. Brother Zhou is on the hot search, and Zhou brother is buried in his big move, concentrating on mathematics to prove the twin prime number conjecture.

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhou has been busy with other professional things, such as neurobiology and artificial intelligence. How do you think his brain grows?Couldn't it be that during the National Day last year, he was transformed by aliens alone in the dormitory? "

"It's more than that, they have opened several companies.

The artificial intelligence company he started a few months ago is cooperating with his other biological company, which is the one where I work.But what he is cooperating with is the branch company in Luzhou, not our head office.

They're doing that research on predicting protein structures.

Let me tell you, the industry has been discussing this matter all the time, saying that once this research comes to fruition, the achievement will be no less than proving the twin prime number conjecture. "As a member of Zhou Ming's company, Liu Tianlu didn't find anything strange about what Zhao Letian said.

When Liu Tianlu said this, Liu Xiao also started to interrupt, but what he wanted to say was not about Zhou Ming, but about Liu Tianlu.

"You have been working in Brother Zhou's company for a while, right? How much do you get for a part-time job now?" Liu Xiao asked Liu Tianlu curiously.

Hearing Liu Xiao's question, Zhao Letian also became interested. He also stood up curiously, walked under Liu Tianlu's bed, lifted the curtain on Liu Tianlu's bed, and asked Liu Tianlu who was video chatting with his partner: "I'm also curious, I see You don't do other part-time jobs now, you just go to Zhou Ming's company to do part-time jobs. How much money do you get a month now?

No, you still work part-time now, right?Salary should be calculated on a daily basis. It should be how much money can you make a day now? "

"Not much, not much." Liu Tianlu said with a Versailles-like expression on his face, "How much a day depends on the specific situation, but for a part-time job like mine that usually has classes, it is generally more than 4000 a month."

"Fuck, that's not much, you can really pretend." Zhao Letian saw Liu Tianlu's Versailles look, and wished he could climb onto his bed and beat him up.

"Compared with those regular employees, I really don't have many. Do you know Senior Geng Xu?" Liu Tianlu asked Zhao Letian.

"Geng Xu? Are you talking about the senior who finished his master's degree a year ahead of schedule and continued to study for a Ph.

Not to mention our entire school, at least our entire School of Biological and Pharmaceutical Engineering knows about him, and I definitely know it too. " Zhao Letian said.

"Yes, that's the senior.

His current mentor is Dean Yi Huaqing, and he is also an official employee of Zhou Ming's biological company.

Do you know what his current salary is?At least five digits.

I estimate that when he graduates next year, his salary will definitely increase a lot. " Liu Tianlu said.

"Graduating next year, isn't he just going to be a Ph.D.? Doesn't graduating next year mean that he's graduating after only one year of Ph. D?" Liu Xiao asked in surprise after listening to Liu Tianlu's words.

……

They were still discussing about Zhou Ming's company and Zhou Ming's affairs in the dormitory.

And the discussions and quarrels about Zhou Ming on the Internet are still going on. When people become popular, there will be many ghosts and snakes running out. It was like this last time when Zhou Ming was on the hot search, and it is the same this time, but Zhou Ming didn't care much about these things. up.

On the 27th, it was Sunday. Originally, Zhou Ming should stay at his residence and enjoy life, but because Zhou Ming proved the twin prime number conjecture became popular all over the Internet, many media people wanted to interview Zhou Ming.

This time Zhou Ming is different from last time. This time Zhou Ming rejected most of the media. He only accepted interviews from a few media including "Hua Guo Youth Daily", "Hua Guo Science and Technology News" and "People's Radio and Television Station" .

In the afternoon, after being interviewed by these media on the campus of HKUST, Li Mingzhi quickly approached Zhou Ming.

"After you told me that the "Mathematics Yearbook" passed your proof last time, I was thinking about what kind of reward I should give you.

Not long after, the "Mathematics Yearbook" officially announced that the twin prime number conjecture was proved by you. We had a meeting in our school first, and then the principal called us to have a meeting to discuss what kind of reward we should give you.

Finally, after some research and discussion in the courtyard and the school, I will give you an award. "After Li Mingzhi found Zhou Ming, he directly explained to him the purpose of coming to him this time.

"An award? What award?" Zhou Ming asked expectantly. In his opinion, the best award is cash. If there is no cash, the house will be fine.

"The school decided to award you the 'Brave Pioneering Award'. You proved that the twin prime number conjecture is such a problem that no one has solved, just like the people of the Great Northern Wilderness during the pioneering period of the Great Northern Wilderness. This extraordinary spirit is worthy of every one of us. Researchers learn.

The 'Brave in Pioneering Award' is a cash reward, and the reward is 100 million in cash. "

Li Mingzhi finally patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder with a chuckle, and said to him.

Although the reward Li Mingzhi said met Zhou Ming's expectations, it may be because he had already received a school reward of 100 million when he was at Metal Works University, or it may be because it is too easy for Zhou Ming to earn 100 million now. After hearing Li Mingzhi say that the University of Science and Technology is going to give him a reward of 100 million in cash this time, he is not as excited as when he first heard President Huang Zhixing of Metalworking University say that he will be rewarded with 100 million.

"When will you receive the award?" Although he was not as excited as when he first won the 100 million bonus, Zhou Ming still had a smile on his face, and he asked Li Mingzhi with a smile.

"The award ceremony should be on the [-]th of January next year. It will be soon, and it will only take a few days. At that time, not only the leaders of our school, but also the leaders of the school will go there. You should also dress more formally that day.

But... I don't think you are too happy? "Li Mingzhi said to Zhou Ming.

"Where, I'm happy, I'm very happy." Zhou Ming continued to smile and said to Li Mingzhi. As for the leaders in the courtyard he mentioned, Li Mingzhi is the dean of the School of Life Sciences of the University of Science and Technology. There must be some leaders in this courtyard. he.

"I know you're happy, but I mean you're not as happy as I thought you were when you got the news.

But yes, you are now the boss of a big company, and the profit your company brings you is far more than 100 million a month, right?Naturally, the 100 million is not so important.

But I still want to say that this 100 million has a different meaning, and this is your academic reward.Moreover, this is also the most reward that can be given out in the school.

If there are more, you need to apply to the above. Not only is the process more cumbersome, but the time is also a bit long.

If you apply to the above, I guess even if you apply this month, you will have to wait until next year's Spring Festival at the earliest before you can apply, and it may be more than that. "Li Mingzhi said.

"By the way, I came to see you for one more thing." Li Mingzhi said again.

Hearing what Li Mingzhi said, Zhou Ming thought to himself: "It seems that Dean Li really must have something to do every time he finds himself, and most of the time there will be more than one thing."

Li Mingzhi, who didn't know that Zhou Ming was thinking so much, continued to say to Zhou Ming: "The academy still wants you to hold an academic lecture on campus, do you have time recently?

Has a school invited you recently?If not, I estimate that many schools will invite you to give academic lectures soon.

After all, after your hot searches during the summer vacation this year and the recent media publicity, you are now quite famous. Students and scholars in most schools in China should have heard of your name. "

"Academic lecture? About the proof of the twin prime number conjecture? When?" Zhou Ming asked. He didn't expect that the college would let him give an academic lecture on campus so soon.

Academic lectures are generally hosted by a certain department or research institution, and the invited guests are mostly well-known experts in the field, and the theme of the lecture will also focus on a specific issue in the field.

This kind of lecture is an academic feast for people in the field, but for people outside the field, it may not even be able to watch the excitement.

Zhou Ming was going to give an academic lecture, and it was also for graduate students and teachers. It might be difficult for undergraduates to understand.

"Let's see when you have time, but it's better not to be too late. I think the holiday will be in late January. By then, they will be busy with final exams and won't be in the mood to listen to lectures." Li Ming said .

After Zhou Ming thought about it, he said to Li Mingzhi: "In this case, I'd better get this lecture done as soon as possible, let's say on the 29th. I also need to spend some time to make a PPT, get a manuscript or something."

"The 29th? Today is Sunday the 27th, and the 29th is Tuesday the day after tomorrow.

can.

So when are you going to give this academic lecture?Let me see if anyone uses the lecture hall that day, and move it for you. "Li Zhiming said.

"In the morning, if someone wants to use the lecture hall in the morning, it's fine in the afternoon." Zhou Ming said.

……

What Li Zhizhi said was indeed correct. From the time Zhou Ming and Li Zhizhi ended their conversation on the 27th and returned to his residence until the 29th when Zhou Ming was about to start his academic lectures, many schools wanted to invite Zhou Ming to them one after another. The school holds an academic lecture.

These schools are both domestic and foreign, many of which are well-known institutions, and the remuneration they give is also very generous.

But Zhou Ming was not short of this little money, and in the end he only agreed to the invitation from his alma mater, Jinling University of Technology, and the invitation from Nankai University, which he had accompanied Shen Qingqiu to once during the summer vacation.
