Chapter 460: Three Figures
Chapter 460
April 12th.
Today is the day when Gu Lu's special report meeting was officially held.
The presentation is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
But before eight o'clock, many mathematicians in the hotel went to the auditorium of Yenching University in twos and threes after breakfast.
On campus, there have been a lot of posters for this seminar.
Mathematicians from all over the world follow the directions on the street sign to the auditorium of Yenching University.
At the entrance to the auditorium, a huge banner was hung.
'Special Report on Professor Gu Lu's Narrow Hodge Conjecture of Yenching University'
This is a line written on the banner.
Simple and straightforward.
But each word carries a lot of weight in the eyes of mathematicians.
At the entrance of the auditorium, two greeters wearing cheongsams stood and handed over invitations and a handbag handed by the staff, and everyone began to enter one after another.
The Yenching University Auditorium is a large area.
It is divided into two layers.
There are about 1,000 seats on the lower deck and about 200 seats on the upper deck.
Merely.
Due to the limited reception capacity of the Yan University Mathematics College, only more than 700 invitations were distributed.
Everyone found their seats and chatted with the mathematicians in the neighborhood while waiting for the presentation to begin.
…………
Bao Songquan was arranged by the college to be fully responsible for the relevant work of Gu Lu's report meeting, so he came to the auditorium early in the morning.
Bao Songquan first went to the backstage to check the lighting, sound, microphone, and other equipment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he hurried to the welcome area at the entrance of the auditorium.
What made Bao Songquan frown was that there were currently a lot of people blocking the welcome area.
Most of them are foreign faces.
The staff member in charge of checking the invitations was sweating profusely explaining something.
The staff member spoke English.
But apparently, there were people in the crowd who couldn't understand English, so it was a mess.
"What's going on?" Bao Songquan frowned and walked into the crowd.
"Dean, you're here. When the staff member saw Bao Songquan appear, it was like grasping a life-saving straw.
"This group of people is here to listen to the briefing?" Bao Songquan glanced at the group of people opposite and asked in a low voice.
The staff member nodded, "Yes, it's just that the dean, this group of people doesn't have an invitation in their hands." ”
The staff member gave Bao Songquan a brief introduction to what happened.
The more than 700 invitations issued by the School of Mathematics of Yan University do not only represent an admission ticket, but also a consumption voucher.
Because of the mathematician who has the invitation letter, the round-trip travel expenses and accommodation expenses will all be reimbursed by the Yan University School of Mathematics.
But the group of people in front of him can be said to have come to China at their own expense.
Some of them had already come to Huaguo a few days ago and found a hotel near Yanda to stay.
Today, Gu Lu's report will be held, and they will all gather here to see if there is a chance to sneak in.
However, I didn't expect the verification process to be very strict.
The crowd didn't see the right moment.
Since it can't sneak in, then I can only try to see if I can squeeze in with a dead face.
So there was a dispute between the staff and the group of mathematicians.
After Bao Songquan listened to the staff, he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Dean, this is how it happened, what do you think we should do?" asked the staff with a bitter face.
Bao Songquan smiled and waved his hand, "You go and help entertain the mathematicians with invitations, and I'll solve this matter." ”
Bao Songquan took the place of the staff member and stood in front of everyone.
Then, Bao Song raised his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then spoke loudly in English.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce myself, my name is Bao Songquan, I am the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics of Yan University, and I am also the person in charge of this report meeting. ”
As soon as Bao Songquan revealed his identity, the originally noisy scene was obviously a lot quieter.
Bao Songquan's identity still carries a lot of weight.
"Dean Bao, we don't have an invitation letter for our group, but we really want to listen to Professor Gu's presentation, otherwise we wouldn't have come all the way here!" said a mathematician with a mustache in a sincere tone.
"Yes, Dean Bao, we don't need you to reimburse us for our travel expenses and room and board, we just hope that we can go in and listen to Professor Gu's report. Another mathematician standing in the front row shouted.
"Dean Bao, it doesn't matter if the seats inside are full, just let us sit in the aisle. "It was a young mathematician who spoke.
When Bao Songquan looked at him, he also raised a folding horse in his hand and smiled.
Only then did Bao Songquan notice that the group of people were holding a similar object in their hands.
Some are maza, some are benches, and even more so, futons.
Apparently ready to sit in the aisle.
Bao Songquan was once again made to laugh and cry by the operation of this group of people.
Seeing that Bao Songquan was silent for a long time, everyone became apprehensive in their hearts.
They flew all the way to China, but they didn't want to run in vain.
"Dean Bao, if it's inconvenient, let's stand in the back. ”
"Yes, yes, just let us in, and you can ask for the rest. ”
"Can we listen to the words of people we can't see?"
Seeing this group of extremely humble mathematicians, Bao Songquan smiled helplessly.
"Everyone, everyone!" Bao Songquan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "There are still many free seats in the auditorium, you can go in and listen to the lecture." ”
"However, I hope that you can keep quiet and do not disturb the normal order of the briefing. ”
Anyway, in addition to the more than 600 mathematicians with invitations present, there were many empty seats in the auditorium.
Although even if Bao Songquan drove away all these mathematicians, no one would say that Bao Songquan was not.
But Bao Songquan considered it more comprehensively.
Letting this group of mathematicians in it will undoubtedly increase the favorability of international mathematicians among the lower ranks of mathematicians towards the Yan University School of Mathematics.
Now that the favorability is there, the increase in influence is a natural thing.
Yan University is now in the next big game of chess.
At this time, we should not care about the gains and losses of a chess piece, but should focus on the overall situation.
I have to say that after Gu Lu announced this decision, it caused the group of mathematicians in front of him to cheer together.
After everyone thanked Bao Songquan in unison, they walked into the auditorium with red faces.
At this time, the mathematicians who had already arrived in advance in the auditorium were staring at the front row of the auditorium with stunned eyes, looking stunned.
Because there, there were three figures that everyone thought would not be possible here!
