"Simmons, I suddenly have a new idea about the matter we discussed last time!" Lu Qiujian dialed the phone number of a Wall Street bigwig again, the last time he called him, he wanted to hand over the 10 million dollars to the foundation he proposed on the last day of the report meeting, but then he thought that these ten questions could not be answered in a short time, and it seemed a bit wasteful to just put them there, and it couldn't stimulate the mathematical community well, "What do you think of this?" I put these 10 million dollars into your Renaissance company, and your company will run it, and the annual profit part will be transferred to the Foundation's account after deducting the commission, and then the expenses of the Foundation's daily operation will be deducted, and the rest will be distributed as rewards to those scholars who have made great contributions to the study of these ten problems this year!" The average annual net return of the Renaissance Company is 35.6%, and the annual profit of 10 million is fully enough to cover this expense.

"Haha! Give me a reason to say yes! People who want to put their money into the Renaissance Company can go from Princeton to Manhattan! I won't easily say yes! Either you have a lot of influence in a certain field, or you can bring me some policy convenience, otherwise I can't convince my shareholders. Of course, if you're willing to join Renaissance Inc., then nothing is a problem!" Simmons replied with a laugh.

There are two main types of funds for his company, one is called the Renaissance Institutional Capital Fund, which accepts external investment but has a mediocre rate of profitability, and the other is the Medal Fund, which can only be invested by internal employees, and the profitability is extraordinary. If it is the first type, Lu Qiujian will not be satisfied with its rate of return, and it does not meet the selection rules of the Renaissance company; as for the second type, Lu Qiujian is not an internal employee, and of course there is no way to buy shares.

"I can't do any of this!" Lu Qiujian had already thought clearly before calling, but he knew what Simmons valued more than policy and energy, "But I can help you optimize your algorithm!"

"Perfect reason to refuse!" Simmons couldn't help but clench his fist, "but to optimize the algorithm, you need to first look at the algorithm that Renaissance is using now." It's a big secret worth tens of billions!"

"You can send someone you trust, of course it's better if you can come yourself! I can sign a non-disclosure agreement and start working!" Lu Qiujian understood what it meant to bring Simmons a ten-figure income every year.

"Well, I'm going to go to China recently. Simmons' voice became low, "You know, Chen's health is getting worse now, I have to go see him!

Simmons was talking about Chern Shiingshen, who now lives in Jinmen, and Lu Qiujian just filled out the application form for the mathematics prize named after him two days ago, "I hope Mr. Chen can be safe! You can go to the capital first, and then we will go to see him together!"

After making an appointment, Lu Qiujian hung up the phone. I changed my clothes and walked to Professor Zhang's office, the framework of the foundation proposed at the last meeting had been set up, and Professor Zhang and he both held important positions in it, and now that things had changed, we had to discuss it with him!

"Are you saying that you put the 10 million US dollars into the fund! and then take out the part of the annual profit to give out the prize?" Professor Zhang was a little worried after hearing this, "It's not easy to say about this investment, what if you lose it? Do donors agree to do this?"

"Where did the money come from James Simmons. Lu Qiujian said vaguely, "You should know him, right? His company's profitability is still guaranteed!"

"The Chen-Simmons theorem is like thunder!" Even if you change to Professor Warren Buffett Zhang, you may not have heard of it, but Simmons has made some achievements in the mathematical community, and is one of the most important donors of mathematical research in the world. He still trusts Professor Zhang very much, "I've seen him a few times before, but I haven't said anything! If it's him, I'll be relieved!"

"You see, none of these 10 problems can be solved in the short term. If you just solve a problem, a million grand prize won't make much difference in the short term!" Lu Qiujian said his reasons again, "But every year we reward the mathematicians who have made the first outstanding contributions to these ten problems this year, and the prize money can be at least 100,000 US dollars! This is also a small and small stimulus. At the same time, it will be beneficial to expand the influence of our foundation and even the entire Beijing Normal University!"

Of course, you can also help yourself to brush up your reputation in the mathematical community and hold a conference once a year. Communicating with mathematicians at conferences is also a good way to keep abreast of the latest progress of your research so that you can adjust your plans.

"Well, I think it's okay!" said Professor Zhang, who was about to get up, "Let's go, come with me to the president's office, and talk to him about your attention!"

When they arrived outside the principal's office, the secretary saw them and brought them in directly, and as soon as they got inside, the principal stood up with a smile, "Haha, I just said I was going to look for you!" He raised the email in his hand, "Guess what I received?"

"A reply from a member of the Board of Funds?" had previously sent invitations to a number of authorities at the meeting, and it was almost time for them to reply.

"Yes!" the headmaster showed them the emails. This is Mr. Grothendieck's, and he has agreed, and this is Professor Deligne's, and he has agreed, and Professor Witten, Professor John Thompson of the University of Cambridge, Professor Hermandel of Sweden, Professor Shafalevich of Moscow University, Professor Cedric Villani, Director of the Institut Poincaré in France, Professor Shigefumi Mori of Kyoto University, Professor Schultz of Humboldt University, and most of the people with whom we have spoken have agreed to the invitation to serve on the review committee. ”

United States, Britain, France, Sweden, Lucia, Germany, Japan and China are basically the most important forces in the mathematical community at present, and with their support, the authority of the Foundation is beyond doubt.

"We happened to be looking for you for the Foundation's business!" Professor Zhang recounted the matter.

The headmaster thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, if no one cracks these problems for a long time, won't the Foundation become an ornament? "It is also a good way to expand the influence of Beijing Normal University. (To be continued.) )
