Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 181 One Prize After Another Prize

"I don't have much experience, but if you really want me to be the director of this life science research institute, I won't refuse.

When will this institute be completed? "

After Zhang Mingjie finished speaking, Zhou Ming asked him again.

"We haven't applied to the above yet. I guess it will take a year or two until we finish the application and then it will be completed. It may not be officially put into use until 17 or 18.

I'm just asking you in advance. If you don't agree, I guess we may not approve our application to the higher authorities.

However, with your consent, the higher authorities should agree to our application.

After all, the Space Synthetic Biology Research Project is a big project anyway, and you are an outstanding talent of the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program". Isn't it normal for the higher authorities to build a special research institute for you?
Hey, do you think so? "

Zhang Mingjie explained to Zhou Ming, and in the end he smiled as if he was touched by Zhou Ming's light.

Zhou Ming and Zhang Mingjie were talking like this while walking back. They just came out to send the students from the summer camp to the bus.

Now that the students got on the bus and left, they should go back. It was quite hot outside, and they had already sweated a lot after standing for a while.

After walking to a cool place, Zhang Mingjie talked to Zhou Ming about some research matters, and then Zhang Mingjie said goodbye to Zhou Ming, and went to talk to other teachers about the girl surnamed Wu, while Zhou Ming first went to After turning around the laboratory, he returned to his office.

In the following time, Zhou Ming was either in the laboratory or in the office every day.

Until the 10th, Zhou Ming received a call from Li Mingzhi in the afternoon.

When the phone rang, Zhou Ming picked it up and saw that the name on the caller ID was Li Mingzhi, Zhou Ming knew that he must have something else to tell him.

As soon as Zhou Ming pressed the green answer button, Li Zhizhi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Zhou, I just received the news that you have been nominated for the [-]th Morningside Mathematics Award.

The list of nominations will be announced next Monday, and I called you as soon as I received the news, to let you know.

And I also heard that you are not only nominated, you are already on the list of winners.

However, the list of winners will not be announced until next month at the [-]th World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

I guess someone will notify you in advance and ask you to go there.

The World Chinese Mathematics Conference will be held in the Great Hall. If you have time, go there. If you don’t have time, you will be notified and just say you don’t have time to go. "

Li Mingzhi on the other end of the phone said to Zhou Ming that it turned out that Zhou Ming had been nominated for another award.

The Morningside Mathematics Prize was established in 1998 and is awarded every three years. The prizes include gold and silver prizes.

The Gold Award winner will receive $25000 and the Silver Award winner will receive $10000.

Although the prize money is less than the world-class awards such as the Nobel Prize, there is no mathematics award in the Nobel Prize.

Moreover, the Morningside Mathematics Award is also known as the "Chinese Fields Medal", which is the highest award of the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

More importantly, the prize money of the Fields Medal is only 1.5 U.S. dollars, which is 1 U.S. dollars less than the Gold Medal of the Morningside Mathematics Prize.

The winner of the Fields Medal must be under the age of 40 before New Year's Day of the year. If he exceeds this age, the award will not be awarded.

But there are exceptions to everything. Andrew Wiles, a British mathematician born in 1953, won an international award at the International Conference of Mathematicians in 1998 because he proved the long-standing "Fermat's Last Theorem" in number theory. The Silver Medal of the Fields Medal specially produced by the Mathematical Union.

When Andrew Wiles won the Fields Medal Silver Medal specially made by the International Mathematical Union, he was already 45 years old, which exceeded the requirement for the Fields Medal to be under 40 years old. Not eligible for a Fields Medal.

However, when your strength reaches a certain level, some artificial rules will make an exception for you.

Since the Morningside Mathematics Award is called the "Chinese Fields Medal", it certainly has requirements for the age of the recipients.

The Morningside Mathematics Award can only be awarded to Chinese mathematicians under the age of 45 who have made outstanding achievements in pure and applied mathematics. If you are older than this age, or if you are not a Chinese mathematician, then you cannot win this award.

Of course, if you can do what Andrew Wiles did, this award will definitely make an exception, and you will be awarded a specially made medal like the Fields Medal.

Zhou Ming knew something about the [-]th World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians and the Morningside Mathematics Prize that Li Mingzhi mentioned. He didn't take the initiative to learn about it, but Li Zhizhi and Qiu Chengtong told him.

Because one of the initiators of the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians is Qiu Chengtong, a famous world-class mathematician.

When Qiu Chengtong proposed this initiative, he received strong support from the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, and held the first conference in the capital in 1998.

As for the review of the Morningside Mathematics Prize, except for Qiu Chengtong, who is a Chinese-American as the chairman, all the other members of the review committee are scholars from the American Ivy League or European universities.

When Qiu Chengtong proposed this idea, he was worried that the judging committee would affect the judging results because of the concepts of favor, relationship, and seniority.

Since the Morningside Mathematics Circle is the highest award at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, Li Mingzhi would naturally have said this when he talked about the award with Zhou Ming.

And Qiu Chengtong, as one of the initiators of the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, said this to Zhou Ming, which is naturally reasonable.

After Li Mingzhi finished speaking, Zhou Ming said to him: "President Li, don't worry, I will definitely be free next month. I told you before that I didn't go to the Craford Award. The award ceremony in Sweden was really because it was relatively busy at that time.

And like this kind of domestic awards, as long as there are bonuses, I will usually spare time to go there. You can rest assured about this. "

Zhou Ming finally said something to reassure Li Mingzhi.

But after hearing what Zhou Ming said, Li Mingzhi smiled and said to Zhou Ming: "You boy, if you don't know, you think you are short of money. Although I don't know the exact amount of your company's monthly net profit How many, but at least hundreds of millions?

You have such a net worth, why do you still fancy these small money of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? "

"What you said is that mosquito meat is also meat. And my company's money belongs to the company, and the money I got through acquisition is my own money, which is different.

The money obtained in these two ways gives me a different sense of accomplishment.

Besides, who would think that money is too much?And these bonuses do not have to pay taxes, I don't take them for nothing. "

Zhou Ming also explained with a smile that he did not pay taxes on the Crawford Award prize money he received before. This is not tax evasion by Zhou Ming.

The first paragraph of Article [-] of Huaguo's current "Individual Income Tax Law" stipulates: provincial people's governments, State Council ministries and commissions, Huaguo People's Liberation Army and above units, as well as foreign organizations, scientific and technological issues issued by international organizations, etc. Bonuses are exempt from personal income tax.

"I didn't expect that you not only have a deep understanding of mathematics and biology, but also a lot of law? Especially the tax law.

Hey, that's fine, I won't talk to you about money anymore.

Let’s continue to talk about the awards. If you go to the Morningside Mathematics Awards, remember to dress appropriately. It’s a formal occasion, not an online award presentation at home.

And it's good for you to participate in these conferences more, and it's better to know more friends in the field of mathematics.

Have you not chatted with other mathematicians since the last academic report proving Goldbach's conjecture and communicating with mathematicians from all over the world?

Although you are indeed a genius, you should not be too closed. It is good to have more contact with the outside world and learn about some of the latest methods and achievements in the field of mathematics. "

At the end, Li Mingzhi began to persuade Zhou Ming again.

Li Zhizhi often went out to meetings, but Zhou Ming rarely left Luzhou in the past six months, except to find his partner and go back to his hometown, let alone attend some meetings and chat with other mathematicians to discuss academic matters.

At the end of May, Zhou Ming managed to go out, to the capital, and mainly participated in the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" outstanding talent symposium as a biologist.

In addition, Li Mingzhi also heard that Zhou Ming participated in some kind of 531 meeting, but it seemed to be a meeting related to biology. When Zhou Ming gave an academic report proving Goldbach's conjecture in February, he met with those who came from all over the world. The mathematicians sort of had a meeting.

Other than that, nothing else.

This will naturally make Li Mingzhi talk more about this to Zhou Ming. It's like your parents have always wanted you to get married, but you only met a woman once during the Chinese New Year in half a year, and you haven't seen her since. Have seen women, can they not be in a hurry?

If you want to get married, you have to have contact first, right?You don't even have the chance to meet women, how can you get married?Do you really expect a sister Lin to fall from the sky?

"You know Dean Li, don't worry, I know all these things, and it's not the first time I've participated in this kind of conference."

Zhou Ming didn't feel impatient when he heard Dean Li whispering in his ear like his own grandparents. On the contrary, he felt very kind.

"It's good that you know, I won't say much, so as not to annoy you. Then I'll hang up first, I still have something to do here.

At that time, I will also participate in the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. Let's talk about it in detail at that time.

Lao Qiu also said that ever since we parted ways with you last time, he has always wanted to find a chance to talk to you again. You are busy and he is busy, so he doesn't have much time.Since you are going to attend the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians this time, you can also chat with him. "

Li Mingzhi said, and finally hung up Zhou Ming's call.

As for what Li Mingzhi said that Qiu Chengtong would attend this conference, Zhou Ming didn't find it surprising. After all, Professor Qiu is the chairman of the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. If he doesn't participate, who will participate?

Looking at the screen of the phone that had been hung up, Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head.

Although Li Mingzhi has not been at school recently, why should he wait until the World Chinese Mathematicians Conference next month to meet Li Zhizhi?
The 25th of this month will be the first day of reporting on the summer camp of the School of Mathematical Sciences at HKUST. At the opening ceremony on the second day, Li Zhiming, as the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences, will not come back to participate?
Moreover, Zhou Ming didn't think that Li Mingzhi would not be able to come because of such an important matter as Zhou Ming's selection of graduate students.

After all, Zhou Ming said that the topics he would give to his graduate students in the Academy of Mathematical Sciences were all world-wide mathematical problems such as the Collats conjecture, the Mersenne prime number conjecture, and even the ADC conjecture.

If Zhou Ming's graduate students really solve the problems that Zhou Ming gave them, then the University of Science and Technology will produce another or even several mathematics masters. It will become a sacred place of mathematics for the whole Huaguo and even the whole world.

From this we can see how important Zhou Ming's choice of a graduate student is. Li Mingzhi must come and see to help Zhou Ming check and see who will be taken advantage of or lucky enough to become Zhou Ming's graduate student in the future.

However, Zhou Ming reckoned that Li Mingzhi might have been busy recently and forgot about this matter. Even if he really forgot and didn't remember it, there must be people from several courtyards reminding him.

Zhou Ming put his phone aside, and got busy with his own affairs again.

What he is busy with now, besides the future research plans of artificially synthesized food and synthetic organisms in space, is the Collats conjecture.

Among the math problems given by the system, Zhou Ming knows the answers to two of them, but if he wants to complete "participate with students and solve at least three math problems given by the life simulator", then except for these two In addition, he had to solve another problem.

As for asking a student to complete a problem that Zhou Ming knew the answer to, Zhou Ming naturally thought about it, but he didn't think the life simulator was easy to fool.

Since the task given by the life simulator has this option, the student must be asked to complete the proof by himself, and he cannot provide much help.

But as a teacher, it is definitely impossible for him to do nothing. As for what kind of help he can provide and what help he cannot provide, he needs to grasp this degree by himself. Anyway, if it exceeds, it will be regarded as that third. Forget it.
