Reborn in 2000 as a scholar
Chapter 117 Next 1 Thesis Direction
Lin Jinqi found Anne Messenes with his papers published in "Journal of Computer and Applied Mathematics" and "Science" and "Annals of Mathematics", hoping to apply for a bachelor's degree and a bachelor's degree in Princeton University. Bachelor of Science.Annie was a little silent when she saw the thesis materials provided by Lin Jinqi.
In fact, the cultivation of students at Princeton University is very humane. For students with average qualifications, Princeton University allows them to attend classes step by step, complete homework, take exams, and finally complete their studies through dissertation defense; and for gifted students, Princeton University can also Degrees are awarded based on their findings.Especially at the postgraduate level, whether to give a degree is almost a sentence of the tutor.It is precisely because of the very free academic atmosphere of Princeton University that Princeton University has always been a typical example of a "small but refined" university in the United States.
To be honest, it is not necessary for Lin Jinqi to come up with the "Poincaré Conjecture" proof paper, only this paper on the Mersenne prime number distribution algorithm can almost prove that Lin Jinqi's mathematical ability has exceeded the requirements of Princeton University for undergraduate students, so apply for early graduation Nothing to do with a BSc.
But Messenes was a little upset about why such an excellent student was not an American?Although the American intellectual circles have always been the stronghold of the "white left", but if you really want to count, the racial discrimination of American intellectuals is almost engraved in their bones.In fact, as the Chinese people say, what you lack, you will advocate loudly.It's like there is no place in the world that is more enthusiastic about advocating "equal rights" than Hollywood, right?
Think about those films in later generations that only have black, feminist, and LGBT content in the film, no matter how bad the film itself is, it can be blown into the sky in Hollywood.But in fact?There is probably no other place in the world where people of color, women and homosexuals are discriminated against like Hollywood.Although Messenes was upset, she also knew that she had no way to hinder Lin Jinqi in terms of rules, so she could only agree to Lin Jinqi's application, and said that she would communicate with the school and the graduate school to arrange for Lin Jinqi's graduation and further studies as soon as possible .After Lin Jinqi got the guarantee from Messenes, she was relieved, and finally she would not miss this year's fall semester.
Lin Jinqi received a reply less than a week after submitting his application. The Department of Mathematics of Princeton University approved Lin Jinqi’s graduation application. At the same time, Princeton University also agreed to grant Lin Jinqi a Bachelor of Science degree and enter the Institute of Mathematics of Princeton University this fall for a master’s degree. study.Although the degree certificate and graduation certificate have not yet been obtained, Lin Jinqi is still very happy to announce the good news to his family and Long Yuan. For Lin Jinqi who has obtained the graduation certificate and bachelor of science from the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University so quickly, the family and Long Yuan are naturally honored .
It's a pity that China and the United States are too far apart. Long Yuan's parents are worried about Long Yuan coming (mainly because Long's father is worried that Lin Jinqi is beyond his control in the United States), and Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin and others are not suitable because of their age. It was a long flight, so in the end it was Lin's father who represented Lin's family to attend Lin Jinqi's graduation ceremony.
Lin Jinqi is probably the most embarrassing one among the graduates of the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University this year, not only because of his own age, but more importantly, none of his classmates in the same year and major are actually known to him.So Lin Jinqi and other mathematics graduates stared at each other. Fortunately, the speech of the head of the mathematics department quickly broke the embarrassment of the scene.After the head of the department and the graduate representatives finished their speeches, the principal issued graduation certificates and tassels to the graduates on the podium.
In his previous life, Lin Jinqi was recruited by the company before the graduation ceremony, so he missed the opportunity to wear a bachelor's uniform.In addition, Lin Jinqi's university did not hold the tassel picking ceremony, so Lin Jinqi still had some regrets deep in his heart.When Lin Jinqi received his graduation certificate and was plucked, Lin's father was also very excited with the video camera below.Father Lin delayed his studies because of those special ten years. Although he finally relied on his own efforts to enter the university in the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, how could Huaxia University at that time learn from the universities of capitalist countries to make bachelor uniforms and uniforms? The fringe-plucking ceremony, so Papa Lin felt a little regretful.
After the graduation ceremony, Lin Jinqi took Papa Lin to visit Princeton University and several famous schools nearby.Father Lin not only took a lot of photos, but also took a lot of videos.After visiting the university in the Northeast of the United States for almost a week, Lin’s father sighed on the return journey: “Only when we come out to see how far we are from the Yankees in terms of higher education! I thought I was a reformer in school. I’m a person with big strides, but I only know how conservative I am when I come here to compare. Unless the country makes great efforts to support higher education, we may catch up with the United States within 50 years.”
Lin's father is now well-known in the education field, so he is also a half-expert in the development of higher education in the country.For Lin's father's comments, Lin Jinqi still quite agrees.The industrialization of education has always been criticized, and the subsequent wave of university mergers has led to domestic criticism that "college students are not as good as rotten cabbage".But it is undeniable that this is the pain of reform.Without this wave of mergers, it would not be so easy to create a "C9 University" in the future.Moreover, the country later allocated special funds for the "Double First-Class Universities" and the "Basic Capacity Building Projects for Universities in the Midwest". It is also because of continuous efforts that the domestic university rankings began to gradually dominate in Asia, and began to gain relatively high positions in the international arena. ranking.
However, Lin Jinqi doesn't really want his father to be too involved in these affairs, after all, Lin's father's specialty is not in these matters.Therefore, Lin Jinqi had no choice but to remind his father, and Lin's father also fell silent after listening to Lin Jinqi's advice.Papa Lin didn't know what his problem was. If he had management talent, he wouldn't be forced to teach in school.Although Papa Lin thought that coming to the school to teach was a smart decision, he had to admit that it was an evasive choice he was forced to make.
After sending Papa Lin on the plane back home, Lin Jinqi bumped into Jennifer again.Lin Jinqi originally thought that Jennifer and the others decided to invest in home security and portable health equipment just for fun, but he found that the extent of their recent efforts is really doing this as a career.
Lin Jinqi was a little curious about this, but Jennifer took the initiative to answer Lin Jinqi's doubts, "In your opinion, we FundBaby (rich second generation) should all be playboys, right? They should be like Paris Hilton Are you living a life full of luxury and riches and all kinds of scandals?" Jennifer asked back, "Actually, I also want to live such a life, but I can't. My grandparents' assets have long been included in the family fund. If we didn't If we have our own business, we can only receive a fixed amount of living expenses every month. Perhaps this amount of living expenses is considered generous to some people, but as a child from a big family, this amount of living expenses is almost a kind of Humiliated."
Jennifer smiled wryly, "Unless I am willing to move to states like Idaho and Montana, and I will be insulated from big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago for the rest of my life, I will definitely not have enough money." .When you get used to the luxurious life, how many people are willing to live the life of ordinary people? So I have to prove my ability to my family, and then the family fund will invest in me, so that I can continue to live in the upper class life. The Internet is a very potential industry, so I have been paying attention to the high-tech industry. From my personal experience, 'health' and 'happiness' are the two most basic and extreme needs that human beings pursue The "happiness" industry includes many aspects, but most of these industries have been solidified, or require a lot of cost to enter, so I choose the "health" industry that I am more familiar with. After all, I am the little princess of Sivis .”
Having said that, Jennifer couldn't help blinking. "Your set of equipment let me see the combination of 'health' and 'Internet'. Although it is a bit old wine in new bottles, as long as anything is connected with the Internet, it will definitely attract attention in this era. That's right. , I recently consulted with a management consulting firm, and they suggested that we package the company. J&JAT Technology Company will be the company we use to hold our business, and our HomeShield and LifeWristStrap will be included in this iCareHealth company.”
Lin Jinqi looked at the newly registered logo of iCareHealth, which uses green tones, which is the color that many health and wellness companies like.After all, green brings people a feeling of new life and health, which fits the company's positioning very well.The logo is a green heart, and in the middle is the abstract sprout of the letter "I". HomeShield uses the two HS logos to transform into a shield, which is also green; while LifeWristStrap uses cursive characters as the basis to transform into a shape similar to an electrocardiogram jump.I have to say that professional management consulting companies are really good at it.Even the style of the company's headquarters in Silicon Valley has been established, with white as the main tone, representing the Spring Festival, and green as the supplement, representing health.At the same time, green and white are also deliberately selected, choosing the feeling of creamy tones, so the white will not be too cold, and the green will not be too combed.
Lin Jinqi nodded in agreement after reading it.But he asked, "How much capital is iCareHealth now, do we need to buy a headquarters in Silicon Valley so soon? And how are our suppliers and final assembly foundries?"
Although Lin Jinqi seldom gets involved in the real industry, he has learned some basic skills.Whether it is HomeShield or LifeWristStrap, these things actually need to find a good supplier and final assembly factory, and complete the final quality control before they can be launched.Since iCareHealth itself has no inventory, iCareHealth's future cash flow will be very large.This is a bit similar to Xiaomi's operating strategy, but the supply management and quality control must be very meticulous, otherwise iCareHealth's reputation will collapse every minute.
"Suppliers, don't worry, CVS can become a leading pharmaceutical chain store in the United States, Canada and Latin America, and naturally has a very good supply channel." Jennifer said.
Hearing her confident luck, Lin Jinqi suddenly understood why someone said "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix".These "children of dragons and phoenixes" are naturally higher than you, what can you do?If Lin Jinqi was looking for a supplier, he probably wouldn't be able to make it through without half a year to a year of inspection time.As a result, he asked his family to act coquettishly, and immediately took out the supply channels that the family had used for decades to choose the best. How do you ordinary people compare with others?Moreover, in addition to vision and necessary knowledge in the market, experience is also very important.
CVS is the No.1 chain pharmacy in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. Isn't the company's supply experience rich?Importantly, these experiences are not something you can learn at Harvard Business School.With the endorsement of Sivis Health Company, Lin Jinqi knew that iCareHealth's suppliers were not only the top in the world, but also definitely the best in the first-line army.
"As for the final assembly plant, I found Hon Hai Technology in China according to your recommendation. They are also very interested in our order, and we have signed a relevant agreement. The first batch of products will probably arrive in Los Angeles by the end of August. Now we only need to follow the established publicity steps to implement. According to the tentative advertising feedback we released in the early stage, the consumer market is still very interested in our products. Although similar or similar products have long been available, but Our "Internet" label is still very attractive. Our products can not only monitor consumers' health and family safety in real time, but also contact the alarm center and emergency center in time. At the same time, we can also Get in touch with our health consultant center, understand the level of physical fitness and give some health advice based on our exercise data and basic body data.
It's a pity that the smart refrigerator you mentioned last time can't be fully realized, otherwise we can monitor consumers' calorie intake and dietary structure, so our health consultants will have more room to play.I have another piece of good news that I haven’t told you. Investment companies such as IDG, Sequoia, Softbank, and KPCB have already begun to inquire about whether we have a financing plan.Do you think we need to take their financing? "
"That depends on your plan." Lin Jinqi did not expect that the sense of smell of venture capital is so keen now.
In fact, the Internet health industry is not uncommon in later generations. It is one of the two "Internet +" industries that Ma Yun's father values most.But now Lin Jinqi and his group are still the first batch of pioneers to eat crabs, and they are very likely to fall on the road of exploration.But thinking about the operating strategy of venture capital, it is estimated that they are also based on the mentality of "doing nothing if there is nothing to do".
"I told you at the beginning that my main energy will not be put on this company. If you think that financing is beneficial to the future of the company, then I will agree with your decision. But I personally feel that we are now There is no shortage of money on hand, do you need to let others in so quickly to share the money?"
"You agree with me, but Tiffany estimates that she has made too much investment and plans to let venture capitalists come in to share our risks." Jennifer said, "But in my opinion, our company does not have any risks. If she decides to raise funds, I will decide to increase the shares, what is your attitude? After all, how can I eat all the increased shares by myself now? "
"I can keep the same steps as you." Lin Jinqi felt that this company should have a good future prospect, so he agreed.
After getting Lin Jinqi's support, Jennifer left in a hurry.However, because the company is far away in California, Lin Jinqi can only understand the operation of the company through phone calls and emails.In the email, Lin Jinqi found that the conflict between Jennifer and Tiffany was indeed a bit big.Jennifer hopes to build a good business, but Tiffany's idea is to sell it as soon as possible after the package is released.Lin Jinqi has no plans to participate in the conflict between Jennifer and Tiffany. The two have been friends for many years, so they naturally have their own ways to mediate the conflict.It would be the stupidest decision to do it yourself.
Although Jennifer and Tiffany have different views on the future of the company, they are still very concerned about the company's present.The conflict between the two did not cause stagnation and division within iCareHealth. As the first product of iCareHealth, LifeWristStrap was launched very punctually in the last week of August, catching up with the last train of the summer vacation.In the United States, summer vacation means "sports". Even American TV dramas have made time for viewers to watch various sports events during the summer vacation.
According to Lin Jinqi's suggestion, LifeWristStrap is officially launched in three versions: "Professional Edition", "Sports Edition" and "Family Edition".The home version is the standard version, which can monitor real-time blood pressure, heart rate, exercise frequency, calorie consumption, etc., and can also monitor sleep conditions; the sports version is a popular version, sleep monitoring is canceled, and it mainly focuses on heart rate, blood pressure and other data during exercise The professional version is a high-end version with more sensitive monitoring functions. It can be connected to mobile phones, computers and other devices in real time through Bluetooth or infrared technology.After Lin Jinqi got the product, he found that it was not much different from the smart bracelets of later generations, but because some equipment could not be miniaturized, the bracelet looked a bit like a wider bracelet, but it was still not as good as a sports wristband. It's just an exaggeration.
The basic colors of LifeWristStrap are white and green, which are the official colors of iCareHealth.However, Lin Jinqi also asked the company to make other colors, but they are all limited editions.Since it is a limited edition, is it necessary to increase the price?Especially sports models, girls and teenagers like more personalized colors, so they are also willing to pay a little extra for their own personality requirements.Lin Jinqi has the temperament of a profiteer.After the product came out, Lin Jinqi also mailed a set to Long Yuan, Liu Xing and others, but the matching mobile phone cannot be used in China, so Lin Jinqi can only mail them sports models, and then use the computer's Bluetooth or infrared peripherals to send Transmission data were analyzed.
With the launch of iCareHealth's products, Lin Jinqi has to complete a student registration procedure at Princeton University.Although I registered once half a year ago, it was an undergraduate education, and Lin Jinqi also successfully graduated at the end of June.Because of the experience of half a year ago, Lin Jinqi, who registered again, is also familiar with the road.Moreover, this period of time happened to be the official enrollment time for graduate and undergraduate students of Princeton University, so Lin Jinqi saw many people shuttling between the various office buildings of Princeton University.The person Lin Jinqi met in the Department of Mathematics building this time was Zoltan Szabo, the dean of the Department of Mathematics, not Gilles Leclerc.
Seeing Lin Jinqi's surprised expression, Zoltan smiled and said, "Leclerc only takes care of your courses, and I'm in charge of your supervisor at the postgraduate stage." Then, Zoltan looked at Lin Jinqi Related information, "Although you chose computer science as an undergraduate, it can be seen that you have lived up to the mathematical talents you showed in high school. I have read your paper on the proof of the 'Poincaré Conjecture', Very talented imagination. The golden age of mathematicians is basically over around the age of 40, so we desire and encourage the emergence of young mathematicians more than any major. Our graduate education will not be so rigid, as long as you can show For your talent, we don't skimp on our degrees.
I read your materials and hope that Professor Michael Eiseman will be your tutor. I think this is because you are interested in mathematics and physics at the same time, right?However, I regret to inform you that Professor Eiseman said that he already has enough students around him, and he was worried that recruiting new graduate students would delay everyone's studies, so he declined you.So I recommend you to another supervisor, Professor Peter Sarnak. "
In graduate programs at Princeton University, students and supervisors are biphasically selected.If you don't see each other in the first round, then the school will recommend to tutors who are interested in each other, and finally confirm the teaching relationship between the two parties.Professor Peter Sarnak is a master of number theory at Princeton University. In 1998, he was awarded the George Boya Award by the American Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics; in 2001, he was awarded the Levi Conant Award by the American Mathematical Society. ; This year he won the highest award in number theory in the United States - the Ostrovsky Award.The future Professor Sarnak will also receive the Cole Prize and the Wolf Prize, and become a member of the European Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society.
Of course, the current Professor Sarnak is also the editor of the Annals of Mathematics and a permanent teacher of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.In terms of honors and achievements alone, Lin Jinqi's initial selection of Professor Eiseman is not enough to compare with this great god.To put it simply, Professor Eiseman is probably the purple-red author across the two sub-sites of Douren and Danmei on Jinjiang Literature Network; Professor Kesanak is already a great author on the Fanyan Channel.Lin Jinqi suddenly felt that he had been hit by a big pie, and he could let such a great professor fly in the academic world, so what was there to be afraid of!
"From your expression, you should be very satisfied with this mentor." Zoltan said with a smile, "In this case, you can go to Room 1101 of the Essence Hall to find your mentor. I think he should have some The problem needs to be confirmed with you."
After Lin Jinqi thanked Zoltan, he immediately went to Room 1101 to find his mentor. When Lin Jinqi knocked on Room 1101, he saw a thin but energetic white-haired old man behind his desk writing a thesis.
When he saw Lin Jinqi, he smiled and asked, "You are Lin from China, right? I'm glad to meet you! Just find a place to sit, don't be too formal."
Lin Jinqi knows that this professor is a very approachable professor, and he has a good impression of the Chinese mathematics community. Many young Chinese mathematicians in later generations have more or less been supported by this professor. He is an old friend of the Chinese people. .
Lin Jinqi found a seat and sat down, while Professor Sarnak continued, "Although the paper you published in the "Annals of Mathematics" is about topology, I found out that you are also interested in number theory recently. You recently Although that paper is more focused on computers, I found that you seem to have a tendency to get involved in number theory problems. After learning that you have applied for a master's degree in mathematics at our school, I wonder if you are interested in coming to me Advanced studies. But what I didn’t expect was that you actually chose Professor Eisemann. Maybe it’s because you like mathematics and physics, but I have to remind you that it’s best to specialize in one aspect during the learning stage .Unless you have done your best in this area or you find it difficult to improve, you can change the direction. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to gain room for improvement in academics. I would like to know now, your recent What is the mathematical direction of research? Don't worry, I just want to understand and make my suggestions."
"Professor, in fact, what I'm interested in recently is the problem of number theory." Lin Jinqi did not expect that this milestone task of his own would be so suitable for his graduate course, "I just published a paper on the algorithm of Mersenne prime number distribution problem. Thesis, next I want to study the Polignac conjecture and the problem of twin prime numbers."
"Oh, you are also interested in the 'Goldbach Conjecture'?" Professor Sarnak said with interest, "But as a person who studies number theory, who doesn't have the ambition to challenge this conjecture? And I know You Huaxia students still have special feelings for this conjecture. Mr. Chen Jingrun's proof was the closest to solving the 'Goldbach Conjecture', but he did not finally solve it. This is really a very regrettable problem. If If you're interested in the 'Goldbach conjecture', I must warn you, Lin, that it's a lonely and long process, and you won't even be able to solve it until you're very old. Basic scientific research is never a pleasure. Many times what we do is useless."
Lin Jinqi couldn't help being silent at Professor Sarnak's words, how many predecessors fell there on the road of scientific advancement.Not only are future generations unable to remember their names, even the scientific community may not be able to remember them.But since I have the support of the Xueba auxiliary system, if I still can't make a way out, then I am too sorry for those seniors who don't have a system or a plug-in?
Lin Jinqi said: "Professor, I understand what you mean. But someone must walk this road? Either I will walk or someone else will walk. In short, someone will walk. If I don't reach the end, at least I can tell them something. There is no way."
"It's good that you have such a mentality." Professor Sarnak nodded. "I only brought you a graduate student this year, because besides Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, I have several other duties that require time. When you get old, you will inevitably lack energy. By the way, I will Call some of your seniors to come over. Now the seniors in the school are basically the seniors of the second and third grades, and the doctoral students basically only come here when they hand in their thesis."
Professor Sarnak pressed the phone button on the desktop, and then gave some instructions.Next, Professor Sarnak chatted with Lin Jinqi about some customs of Princeton University. I have to say that Princeton University has a different flavor from the eyes of the professors.Just after Professor Sarnak and Lin Jinqi chatted about several nearby gourmet restaurants, four students entered the classroom.Lin Jinqi saw that there were two men and two women, and two of them were Asian.
Professor Sarnak introduced, "This is the only graduate student I recruited this year, Lin, from Huaxia. He is currently studying number theory issues, and I hope you can communicate more."
Hearing that Lin Jinqi is from China, the short-haired girl among them immediately became interested, and introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Wen Yiping, from Shanghai, and I am from Peking University. This is my second year under Professor Sarnak. It is a pleasure to meet you." you!"
After Wen Yiping, another Asian student also extended his hand and said, "My name is Eric Chen, and my father is Chinese."
After two Asian students, a girl with long blond braids said: "My name is William, I am Swedish."
Hearing William's hoarse voice and the masculine name of William, Lin Jinqi didn't know that the senior in front of him was actually a big guy in women's clothes!Generally speaking, the skeletons of European and American adult males are not suitable for women's clothing, but the skeleton of this senior William seems to be naturally small, coupled with the small waist that is almost the same as that of a girl, it is no wonder that Lin Jinqi has misidentified the gender.
Seeing Lin Jinqi's gaze, William said, "Attention, I only like women's clothing, but I like girls more."
"I see." Lin Jinqi knew that the orientation of this women's tycoon is still heterosexual, "I'm just amazed at your beauty!"
"Thank you!" William still showed a very happy smile when Lin Jinqi praised him for his beauty.
"My name is Ben, and I'm from Russia." The burly boy at the end stretched out his hand, "I like boys." Lin Jinqi was embarrassed, but Ben continued, "Especially your Asian boys."
Just when Lin Jinqi felt that the embarrassment was about to spread, Eric smoothed things over, "Lin, don't be intimidated by Ben. It's true that he likes Asian boys, but he has a boyfriend. He treats his boyfriend The degree of loyalty can be described as 'love is stronger than gold', he just likes to tease people. When you have time to hear him talking on the phone with his boyfriend, you will understand."
"Eric, you are not interesting." Seeing that his cover was exposed, Ben was a little discouraged. "Didn't you also be frightened by me back then? Don't you want to see someone inherit your fear back then?"
Eric curled his lips, "If you have the ability, you can say this in front of Jonathan! I promise not to reveal it at that time."
"Okay, children, today is the first day you meet." Professor Sarnak said. "By the way, do you have any vacant offices? If it's convenient, take your juniors to pick an office. —— Lin, after you choose an office, remember to write down your e-mail address, office number, and office phone number. Send me the number by email, and remember to log in to the school’s postgraduate system and enter your latest information. Well, you guys go to your business.”
Seeing Professor Sarnak's order to "see off the guests", Wen Yiping and the others took Lin Jinqi out of the professor's office.
Since he is also Chinese, Wen Yiping specifically said: "Different from the teaching environment in China, Princeton University encourages students' independent thinking and independent exploration abilities. The tutor will hardly interfere with the research direction of the students, and he will only suggest which books for the students; or When students ask for help, give some directional suggestions. So you don’t have to pay too much attention to Professor Sarnak’s research direction. You can study anything you are interested in, even chemistry, physics, and biology. If you find that you have If you have a problem, just go to Professor Sarnak. If he can't solve it, he will recommend other professors to help you. Besides, according to the regulations of the Department of Mathematics, every graduate student has his own office in the Essence Hall. But you also understand , with the increase of students and teachers, this regulation can no longer be satisfied. Even if the basement of the Essence Hall is now opened up as an office, there are still too many monks, so the department stipulated that the office for doctoral students should be cancelled. After all, doctoral students At that stage, they basically held some part-time positions, and they had other offices. The offices of our master students are basically in the basement, except for a few lucky ones who can get mixed into the offices on the fourth or fifth floors. The importance of the professors in the Essence Hall and The floor heights are reversed, and the first floor is the masters of our mathematics department."
Wen Yiping lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.Even if the two are communicating in Chinese, who can guarantee that no top student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University has taken Chinese by the way?
Following Wen Yiping and others to the basement, they found that everyone's offices were not in the same place. After all, the offices were randomly assigned, and there was no way to guarantee that the same tutor was in the same area.At this time, Eric said, "I remember that there is an office next door to me. If you don't mind, Lin can go with me."
"I have no objection." Lin Jinqi felt that he couldn't work anywhere, so he didn't object to Eric's proposal.
Because of Eric's proposal, several other people separated.Before leaving, everyone reminded Lin Jinqi to log in to the intranet system as soon as possible, and then looked up everyone's office phone number and email address, because they may need to be contacted in the future.
"Notifications from the school, tasks from the tutor, and your homework are all sent by email." Eric reminded, "All other external contacts you have are also based on email, so you must remember your own email. and your tutor's mailbox. As for our mailbox, you can create a common contact book in the mail client. Since the computer in the office is an office supply, it is best not to save any personal content. In addition, the office The computer is also strictly prohibited from downloading and installing other programs. If you need download permission and software installation, you may need to contact Vivienne. Vivienne is our administrative support staff here, binding office and all related things you can find Her. So, be gentle with her!"
Eric took Lin Jinqi to the office next door to him. Now this office is empty, but the office is indeed small enough.Compared with the suite-style offices of the professors, my own single-room office is really shabby.A set of desk chairs, a bookshelf and a small cabinet; then opposite the desk are two chairs.Eric walked over with Vivian, who was actually a middle-aged aunt.After confirming that Lin Jinqi had selected this office, Vivienne handed over a document to Lin Jinqi for signature.
Vivienne took the document signed by Lin Jinqi and left, and then walked over with a few staff members.Soon there were computers, telephones, and fax machines in the office. Vivienne handed an envelope to Lin Jinqi, "This is the first login password for your computer and your mailbox, remember to change it in time." Then she gave another envelope
In fact, the cultivation of students at Princeton University is very humane. For students with average qualifications, Princeton University allows them to attend classes step by step, complete homework, take exams, and finally complete their studies through dissertation defense; and for gifted students, Princeton University can also Degrees are awarded based on their findings.Especially at the postgraduate level, whether to give a degree is almost a sentence of the tutor.It is precisely because of the very free academic atmosphere of Princeton University that Princeton University has always been a typical example of a "small but refined" university in the United States.
To be honest, it is not necessary for Lin Jinqi to come up with the "Poincaré Conjecture" proof paper, only this paper on the Mersenne prime number distribution algorithm can almost prove that Lin Jinqi's mathematical ability has exceeded the requirements of Princeton University for undergraduate students, so apply for early graduation Nothing to do with a BSc.
But Messenes was a little upset about why such an excellent student was not an American?Although the American intellectual circles have always been the stronghold of the "white left", but if you really want to count, the racial discrimination of American intellectuals is almost engraved in their bones.In fact, as the Chinese people say, what you lack, you will advocate loudly.It's like there is no place in the world that is more enthusiastic about advocating "equal rights" than Hollywood, right?
Think about those films in later generations that only have black, feminist, and LGBT content in the film, no matter how bad the film itself is, it can be blown into the sky in Hollywood.But in fact?There is probably no other place in the world where people of color, women and homosexuals are discriminated against like Hollywood.Although Messenes was upset, she also knew that she had no way to hinder Lin Jinqi in terms of rules, so she could only agree to Lin Jinqi's application, and said that she would communicate with the school and the graduate school to arrange for Lin Jinqi's graduation and further studies as soon as possible .After Lin Jinqi got the guarantee from Messenes, she was relieved, and finally she would not miss this year's fall semester.
Lin Jinqi received a reply less than a week after submitting his application. The Department of Mathematics of Princeton University approved Lin Jinqi’s graduation application. At the same time, Princeton University also agreed to grant Lin Jinqi a Bachelor of Science degree and enter the Institute of Mathematics of Princeton University this fall for a master’s degree. study.Although the degree certificate and graduation certificate have not yet been obtained, Lin Jinqi is still very happy to announce the good news to his family and Long Yuan. For Lin Jinqi who has obtained the graduation certificate and bachelor of science from the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University so quickly, the family and Long Yuan are naturally honored .
It's a pity that China and the United States are too far apart. Long Yuan's parents are worried about Long Yuan coming (mainly because Long's father is worried that Lin Jinqi is beyond his control in the United States), and Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin and others are not suitable because of their age. It was a long flight, so in the end it was Lin's father who represented Lin's family to attend Lin Jinqi's graduation ceremony.
Lin Jinqi is probably the most embarrassing one among the graduates of the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University this year, not only because of his own age, but more importantly, none of his classmates in the same year and major are actually known to him.So Lin Jinqi and other mathematics graduates stared at each other. Fortunately, the speech of the head of the mathematics department quickly broke the embarrassment of the scene.After the head of the department and the graduate representatives finished their speeches, the principal issued graduation certificates and tassels to the graduates on the podium.
In his previous life, Lin Jinqi was recruited by the company before the graduation ceremony, so he missed the opportunity to wear a bachelor's uniform.In addition, Lin Jinqi's university did not hold the tassel picking ceremony, so Lin Jinqi still had some regrets deep in his heart.When Lin Jinqi received his graduation certificate and was plucked, Lin's father was also very excited with the video camera below.Father Lin delayed his studies because of those special ten years. Although he finally relied on his own efforts to enter the university in the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, how could Huaxia University at that time learn from the universities of capitalist countries to make bachelor uniforms and uniforms? The fringe-plucking ceremony, so Papa Lin felt a little regretful.
After the graduation ceremony, Lin Jinqi took Papa Lin to visit Princeton University and several famous schools nearby.Father Lin not only took a lot of photos, but also took a lot of videos.After visiting the university in the Northeast of the United States for almost a week, Lin’s father sighed on the return journey: “Only when we come out to see how far we are from the Yankees in terms of higher education! I thought I was a reformer in school. I’m a person with big strides, but I only know how conservative I am when I come here to compare. Unless the country makes great efforts to support higher education, we may catch up with the United States within 50 years.”
Lin's father is now well-known in the education field, so he is also a half-expert in the development of higher education in the country.For Lin's father's comments, Lin Jinqi still quite agrees.The industrialization of education has always been criticized, and the subsequent wave of university mergers has led to domestic criticism that "college students are not as good as rotten cabbage".But it is undeniable that this is the pain of reform.Without this wave of mergers, it would not be so easy to create a "C9 University" in the future.Moreover, the country later allocated special funds for the "Double First-Class Universities" and the "Basic Capacity Building Projects for Universities in the Midwest". It is also because of continuous efforts that the domestic university rankings began to gradually dominate in Asia, and began to gain relatively high positions in the international arena. ranking.
However, Lin Jinqi doesn't really want his father to be too involved in these affairs, after all, Lin's father's specialty is not in these matters.Therefore, Lin Jinqi had no choice but to remind his father, and Lin's father also fell silent after listening to Lin Jinqi's advice.Papa Lin didn't know what his problem was. If he had management talent, he wouldn't be forced to teach in school.Although Papa Lin thought that coming to the school to teach was a smart decision, he had to admit that it was an evasive choice he was forced to make.
After sending Papa Lin on the plane back home, Lin Jinqi bumped into Jennifer again.Lin Jinqi originally thought that Jennifer and the others decided to invest in home security and portable health equipment just for fun, but he found that the extent of their recent efforts is really doing this as a career.
Lin Jinqi was a little curious about this, but Jennifer took the initiative to answer Lin Jinqi's doubts, "In your opinion, we FundBaby (rich second generation) should all be playboys, right? They should be like Paris Hilton Are you living a life full of luxury and riches and all kinds of scandals?" Jennifer asked back, "Actually, I also want to live such a life, but I can't. My grandparents' assets have long been included in the family fund. If we didn't If we have our own business, we can only receive a fixed amount of living expenses every month. Perhaps this amount of living expenses is considered generous to some people, but as a child from a big family, this amount of living expenses is almost a kind of Humiliated."
Jennifer smiled wryly, "Unless I am willing to move to states like Idaho and Montana, and I will be insulated from big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago for the rest of my life, I will definitely not have enough money." .When you get used to the luxurious life, how many people are willing to live the life of ordinary people? So I have to prove my ability to my family, and then the family fund will invest in me, so that I can continue to live in the upper class life. The Internet is a very potential industry, so I have been paying attention to the high-tech industry. From my personal experience, 'health' and 'happiness' are the two most basic and extreme needs that human beings pursue The "happiness" industry includes many aspects, but most of these industries have been solidified, or require a lot of cost to enter, so I choose the "health" industry that I am more familiar with. After all, I am the little princess of Sivis .”
Having said that, Jennifer couldn't help blinking. "Your set of equipment let me see the combination of 'health' and 'Internet'. Although it is a bit old wine in new bottles, as long as anything is connected with the Internet, it will definitely attract attention in this era. That's right. , I recently consulted with a management consulting firm, and they suggested that we package the company. J&JAT Technology Company will be the company we use to hold our business, and our HomeShield and LifeWristStrap will be included in this iCareHealth company.”
Lin Jinqi looked at the newly registered logo of iCareHealth, which uses green tones, which is the color that many health and wellness companies like.After all, green brings people a feeling of new life and health, which fits the company's positioning very well.The logo is a green heart, and in the middle is the abstract sprout of the letter "I". HomeShield uses the two HS logos to transform into a shield, which is also green; while LifeWristStrap uses cursive characters as the basis to transform into a shape similar to an electrocardiogram jump.I have to say that professional management consulting companies are really good at it.Even the style of the company's headquarters in Silicon Valley has been established, with white as the main tone, representing the Spring Festival, and green as the supplement, representing health.At the same time, green and white are also deliberately selected, choosing the feeling of creamy tones, so the white will not be too cold, and the green will not be too combed.
Lin Jinqi nodded in agreement after reading it.But he asked, "How much capital is iCareHealth now, do we need to buy a headquarters in Silicon Valley so soon? And how are our suppliers and final assembly foundries?"
Although Lin Jinqi seldom gets involved in the real industry, he has learned some basic skills.Whether it is HomeShield or LifeWristStrap, these things actually need to find a good supplier and final assembly factory, and complete the final quality control before they can be launched.Since iCareHealth itself has no inventory, iCareHealth's future cash flow will be very large.This is a bit similar to Xiaomi's operating strategy, but the supply management and quality control must be very meticulous, otherwise iCareHealth's reputation will collapse every minute.
"Suppliers, don't worry, CVS can become a leading pharmaceutical chain store in the United States, Canada and Latin America, and naturally has a very good supply channel." Jennifer said.
Hearing her confident luck, Lin Jinqi suddenly understood why someone said "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix".These "children of dragons and phoenixes" are naturally higher than you, what can you do?If Lin Jinqi was looking for a supplier, he probably wouldn't be able to make it through without half a year to a year of inspection time.As a result, he asked his family to act coquettishly, and immediately took out the supply channels that the family had used for decades to choose the best. How do you ordinary people compare with others?Moreover, in addition to vision and necessary knowledge in the market, experience is also very important.
CVS is the No.1 chain pharmacy in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. Isn't the company's supply experience rich?Importantly, these experiences are not something you can learn at Harvard Business School.With the endorsement of Sivis Health Company, Lin Jinqi knew that iCareHealth's suppliers were not only the top in the world, but also definitely the best in the first-line army.
"As for the final assembly plant, I found Hon Hai Technology in China according to your recommendation. They are also very interested in our order, and we have signed a relevant agreement. The first batch of products will probably arrive in Los Angeles by the end of August. Now we only need to follow the established publicity steps to implement. According to the tentative advertising feedback we released in the early stage, the consumer market is still very interested in our products. Although similar or similar products have long been available, but Our "Internet" label is still very attractive. Our products can not only monitor consumers' health and family safety in real time, but also contact the alarm center and emergency center in time. At the same time, we can also Get in touch with our health consultant center, understand the level of physical fitness and give some health advice based on our exercise data and basic body data.
It's a pity that the smart refrigerator you mentioned last time can't be fully realized, otherwise we can monitor consumers' calorie intake and dietary structure, so our health consultants will have more room to play.I have another piece of good news that I haven’t told you. Investment companies such as IDG, Sequoia, Softbank, and KPCB have already begun to inquire about whether we have a financing plan.Do you think we need to take their financing? "
"That depends on your plan." Lin Jinqi did not expect that the sense of smell of venture capital is so keen now.
In fact, the Internet health industry is not uncommon in later generations. It is one of the two "Internet +" industries that Ma Yun's father values most.But now Lin Jinqi and his group are still the first batch of pioneers to eat crabs, and they are very likely to fall on the road of exploration.But thinking about the operating strategy of venture capital, it is estimated that they are also based on the mentality of "doing nothing if there is nothing to do".
"I told you at the beginning that my main energy will not be put on this company. If you think that financing is beneficial to the future of the company, then I will agree with your decision. But I personally feel that we are now There is no shortage of money on hand, do you need to let others in so quickly to share the money?"
"You agree with me, but Tiffany estimates that she has made too much investment and plans to let venture capitalists come in to share our risks." Jennifer said, "But in my opinion, our company does not have any risks. If she decides to raise funds, I will decide to increase the shares, what is your attitude? After all, how can I eat all the increased shares by myself now? "
"I can keep the same steps as you." Lin Jinqi felt that this company should have a good future prospect, so he agreed.
After getting Lin Jinqi's support, Jennifer left in a hurry.However, because the company is far away in California, Lin Jinqi can only understand the operation of the company through phone calls and emails.In the email, Lin Jinqi found that the conflict between Jennifer and Tiffany was indeed a bit big.Jennifer hopes to build a good business, but Tiffany's idea is to sell it as soon as possible after the package is released.Lin Jinqi has no plans to participate in the conflict between Jennifer and Tiffany. The two have been friends for many years, so they naturally have their own ways to mediate the conflict.It would be the stupidest decision to do it yourself.
Although Jennifer and Tiffany have different views on the future of the company, they are still very concerned about the company's present.The conflict between the two did not cause stagnation and division within iCareHealth. As the first product of iCareHealth, LifeWristStrap was launched very punctually in the last week of August, catching up with the last train of the summer vacation.In the United States, summer vacation means "sports". Even American TV dramas have made time for viewers to watch various sports events during the summer vacation.
According to Lin Jinqi's suggestion, LifeWristStrap is officially launched in three versions: "Professional Edition", "Sports Edition" and "Family Edition".The home version is the standard version, which can monitor real-time blood pressure, heart rate, exercise frequency, calorie consumption, etc., and can also monitor sleep conditions; the sports version is a popular version, sleep monitoring is canceled, and it mainly focuses on heart rate, blood pressure and other data during exercise The professional version is a high-end version with more sensitive monitoring functions. It can be connected to mobile phones, computers and other devices in real time through Bluetooth or infrared technology.After Lin Jinqi got the product, he found that it was not much different from the smart bracelets of later generations, but because some equipment could not be miniaturized, the bracelet looked a bit like a wider bracelet, but it was still not as good as a sports wristband. It's just an exaggeration.
The basic colors of LifeWristStrap are white and green, which are the official colors of iCareHealth.However, Lin Jinqi also asked the company to make other colors, but they are all limited editions.Since it is a limited edition, is it necessary to increase the price?Especially sports models, girls and teenagers like more personalized colors, so they are also willing to pay a little extra for their own personality requirements.Lin Jinqi has the temperament of a profiteer.After the product came out, Lin Jinqi also mailed a set to Long Yuan, Liu Xing and others, but the matching mobile phone cannot be used in China, so Lin Jinqi can only mail them sports models, and then use the computer's Bluetooth or infrared peripherals to send Transmission data were analyzed.
With the launch of iCareHealth's products, Lin Jinqi has to complete a student registration procedure at Princeton University.Although I registered once half a year ago, it was an undergraduate education, and Lin Jinqi also successfully graduated at the end of June.Because of the experience of half a year ago, Lin Jinqi, who registered again, is also familiar with the road.Moreover, this period of time happened to be the official enrollment time for graduate and undergraduate students of Princeton University, so Lin Jinqi saw many people shuttling between the various office buildings of Princeton University.The person Lin Jinqi met in the Department of Mathematics building this time was Zoltan Szabo, the dean of the Department of Mathematics, not Gilles Leclerc.
Seeing Lin Jinqi's surprised expression, Zoltan smiled and said, "Leclerc only takes care of your courses, and I'm in charge of your supervisor at the postgraduate stage." Then, Zoltan looked at Lin Jinqi Related information, "Although you chose computer science as an undergraduate, it can be seen that you have lived up to the mathematical talents you showed in high school. I have read your paper on the proof of the 'Poincaré Conjecture', Very talented imagination. The golden age of mathematicians is basically over around the age of 40, so we desire and encourage the emergence of young mathematicians more than any major. Our graduate education will not be so rigid, as long as you can show For your talent, we don't skimp on our degrees.
I read your materials and hope that Professor Michael Eiseman will be your tutor. I think this is because you are interested in mathematics and physics at the same time, right?However, I regret to inform you that Professor Eiseman said that he already has enough students around him, and he was worried that recruiting new graduate students would delay everyone's studies, so he declined you.So I recommend you to another supervisor, Professor Peter Sarnak. "
In graduate programs at Princeton University, students and supervisors are biphasically selected.If you don't see each other in the first round, then the school will recommend to tutors who are interested in each other, and finally confirm the teaching relationship between the two parties.Professor Peter Sarnak is a master of number theory at Princeton University. In 1998, he was awarded the George Boya Award by the American Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics; in 2001, he was awarded the Levi Conant Award by the American Mathematical Society. ; This year he won the highest award in number theory in the United States - the Ostrovsky Award.The future Professor Sarnak will also receive the Cole Prize and the Wolf Prize, and become a member of the European Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society.
Of course, the current Professor Sarnak is also the editor of the Annals of Mathematics and a permanent teacher of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.In terms of honors and achievements alone, Lin Jinqi's initial selection of Professor Eiseman is not enough to compare with this great god.To put it simply, Professor Eiseman is probably the purple-red author across the two sub-sites of Douren and Danmei on Jinjiang Literature Network; Professor Kesanak is already a great author on the Fanyan Channel.Lin Jinqi suddenly felt that he had been hit by a big pie, and he could let such a great professor fly in the academic world, so what was there to be afraid of!
"From your expression, you should be very satisfied with this mentor." Zoltan said with a smile, "In this case, you can go to Room 1101 of the Essence Hall to find your mentor. I think he should have some The problem needs to be confirmed with you."
After Lin Jinqi thanked Zoltan, he immediately went to Room 1101 to find his mentor. When Lin Jinqi knocked on Room 1101, he saw a thin but energetic white-haired old man behind his desk writing a thesis.
When he saw Lin Jinqi, he smiled and asked, "You are Lin from China, right? I'm glad to meet you! Just find a place to sit, don't be too formal."
Lin Jinqi knows that this professor is a very approachable professor, and he has a good impression of the Chinese mathematics community. Many young Chinese mathematicians in later generations have more or less been supported by this professor. He is an old friend of the Chinese people. .
Lin Jinqi found a seat and sat down, while Professor Sarnak continued, "Although the paper you published in the "Annals of Mathematics" is about topology, I found out that you are also interested in number theory recently. You recently Although that paper is more focused on computers, I found that you seem to have a tendency to get involved in number theory problems. After learning that you have applied for a master's degree in mathematics at our school, I wonder if you are interested in coming to me Advanced studies. But what I didn’t expect was that you actually chose Professor Eisemann. Maybe it’s because you like mathematics and physics, but I have to remind you that it’s best to specialize in one aspect during the learning stage .Unless you have done your best in this area or you find it difficult to improve, you can change the direction. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to gain room for improvement in academics. I would like to know now, your recent What is the mathematical direction of research? Don't worry, I just want to understand and make my suggestions."
"Professor, in fact, what I'm interested in recently is the problem of number theory." Lin Jinqi did not expect that this milestone task of his own would be so suitable for his graduate course, "I just published a paper on the algorithm of Mersenne prime number distribution problem. Thesis, next I want to study the Polignac conjecture and the problem of twin prime numbers."
"Oh, you are also interested in the 'Goldbach Conjecture'?" Professor Sarnak said with interest, "But as a person who studies number theory, who doesn't have the ambition to challenge this conjecture? And I know You Huaxia students still have special feelings for this conjecture. Mr. Chen Jingrun's proof was the closest to solving the 'Goldbach Conjecture', but he did not finally solve it. This is really a very regrettable problem. If If you're interested in the 'Goldbach conjecture', I must warn you, Lin, that it's a lonely and long process, and you won't even be able to solve it until you're very old. Basic scientific research is never a pleasure. Many times what we do is useless."
Lin Jinqi couldn't help being silent at Professor Sarnak's words, how many predecessors fell there on the road of scientific advancement.Not only are future generations unable to remember their names, even the scientific community may not be able to remember them.But since I have the support of the Xueba auxiliary system, if I still can't make a way out, then I am too sorry for those seniors who don't have a system or a plug-in?
Lin Jinqi said: "Professor, I understand what you mean. But someone must walk this road? Either I will walk or someone else will walk. In short, someone will walk. If I don't reach the end, at least I can tell them something. There is no way."
"It's good that you have such a mentality." Professor Sarnak nodded. "I only brought you a graduate student this year, because besides Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, I have several other duties that require time. When you get old, you will inevitably lack energy. By the way, I will Call some of your seniors to come over. Now the seniors in the school are basically the seniors of the second and third grades, and the doctoral students basically only come here when they hand in their thesis."
Professor Sarnak pressed the phone button on the desktop, and then gave some instructions.Next, Professor Sarnak chatted with Lin Jinqi about some customs of Princeton University. I have to say that Princeton University has a different flavor from the eyes of the professors.Just after Professor Sarnak and Lin Jinqi chatted about several nearby gourmet restaurants, four students entered the classroom.Lin Jinqi saw that there were two men and two women, and two of them were Asian.
Professor Sarnak introduced, "This is the only graduate student I recruited this year, Lin, from Huaxia. He is currently studying number theory issues, and I hope you can communicate more."
Hearing that Lin Jinqi is from China, the short-haired girl among them immediately became interested, and introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Wen Yiping, from Shanghai, and I am from Peking University. This is my second year under Professor Sarnak. It is a pleasure to meet you." you!"
After Wen Yiping, another Asian student also extended his hand and said, "My name is Eric Chen, and my father is Chinese."
After two Asian students, a girl with long blond braids said: "My name is William, I am Swedish."
Hearing William's hoarse voice and the masculine name of William, Lin Jinqi didn't know that the senior in front of him was actually a big guy in women's clothes!Generally speaking, the skeletons of European and American adult males are not suitable for women's clothing, but the skeleton of this senior William seems to be naturally small, coupled with the small waist that is almost the same as that of a girl, it is no wonder that Lin Jinqi has misidentified the gender.
Seeing Lin Jinqi's gaze, William said, "Attention, I only like women's clothing, but I like girls more."
"I see." Lin Jinqi knew that the orientation of this women's tycoon is still heterosexual, "I'm just amazed at your beauty!"
"Thank you!" William still showed a very happy smile when Lin Jinqi praised him for his beauty.
"My name is Ben, and I'm from Russia." The burly boy at the end stretched out his hand, "I like boys." Lin Jinqi was embarrassed, but Ben continued, "Especially your Asian boys."
Just when Lin Jinqi felt that the embarrassment was about to spread, Eric smoothed things over, "Lin, don't be intimidated by Ben. It's true that he likes Asian boys, but he has a boyfriend. He treats his boyfriend The degree of loyalty can be described as 'love is stronger than gold', he just likes to tease people. When you have time to hear him talking on the phone with his boyfriend, you will understand."
"Eric, you are not interesting." Seeing that his cover was exposed, Ben was a little discouraged. "Didn't you also be frightened by me back then? Don't you want to see someone inherit your fear back then?"
Eric curled his lips, "If you have the ability, you can say this in front of Jonathan! I promise not to reveal it at that time."
"Okay, children, today is the first day you meet." Professor Sarnak said. "By the way, do you have any vacant offices? If it's convenient, take your juniors to pick an office. —— Lin, after you choose an office, remember to write down your e-mail address, office number, and office phone number. Send me the number by email, and remember to log in to the school’s postgraduate system and enter your latest information. Well, you guys go to your business.”
Seeing Professor Sarnak's order to "see off the guests", Wen Yiping and the others took Lin Jinqi out of the professor's office.
Since he is also Chinese, Wen Yiping specifically said: "Different from the teaching environment in China, Princeton University encourages students' independent thinking and independent exploration abilities. The tutor will hardly interfere with the research direction of the students, and he will only suggest which books for the students; or When students ask for help, give some directional suggestions. So you don’t have to pay too much attention to Professor Sarnak’s research direction. You can study anything you are interested in, even chemistry, physics, and biology. If you find that you have If you have a problem, just go to Professor Sarnak. If he can't solve it, he will recommend other professors to help you. Besides, according to the regulations of the Department of Mathematics, every graduate student has his own office in the Essence Hall. But you also understand , with the increase of students and teachers, this regulation can no longer be satisfied. Even if the basement of the Essence Hall is now opened up as an office, there are still too many monks, so the department stipulated that the office for doctoral students should be cancelled. After all, doctoral students At that stage, they basically held some part-time positions, and they had other offices. The offices of our master students are basically in the basement, except for a few lucky ones who can get mixed into the offices on the fourth or fifth floors. The importance of the professors in the Essence Hall and The floor heights are reversed, and the first floor is the masters of our mathematics department."
Wen Yiping lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.Even if the two are communicating in Chinese, who can guarantee that no top student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University has taken Chinese by the way?
Following Wen Yiping and others to the basement, they found that everyone's offices were not in the same place. After all, the offices were randomly assigned, and there was no way to guarantee that the same tutor was in the same area.At this time, Eric said, "I remember that there is an office next door to me. If you don't mind, Lin can go with me."
"I have no objection." Lin Jinqi felt that he couldn't work anywhere, so he didn't object to Eric's proposal.
Because of Eric's proposal, several other people separated.Before leaving, everyone reminded Lin Jinqi to log in to the intranet system as soon as possible, and then looked up everyone's office phone number and email address, because they may need to be contacted in the future.
"Notifications from the school, tasks from the tutor, and your homework are all sent by email." Eric reminded, "All other external contacts you have are also based on email, so you must remember your own email. and your tutor's mailbox. As for our mailbox, you can create a common contact book in the mail client. Since the computer in the office is an office supply, it is best not to save any personal content. In addition, the office The computer is also strictly prohibited from downloading and installing other programs. If you need download permission and software installation, you may need to contact Vivienne. Vivienne is our administrative support staff here, binding office and all related things you can find Her. So, be gentle with her!"
Eric took Lin Jinqi to the office next door to him. Now this office is empty, but the office is indeed small enough.Compared with the suite-style offices of the professors, my own single-room office is really shabby.A set of desk chairs, a bookshelf and a small cabinet; then opposite the desk are two chairs.Eric walked over with Vivian, who was actually a middle-aged aunt.After confirming that Lin Jinqi had selected this office, Vivienne handed over a document to Lin Jinqi for signature.
Vivienne took the document signed by Lin Jinqi and left, and then walked over with a few staff members.Soon there were computers, telephones, and fax machines in the office. Vivienne handed an envelope to Lin Jinqi, "This is the first login password for your computer and your mailbox, remember to change it in time." Then she gave another envelope
