Simmons left his attendants in the car, and he took Lu Qiujian to ring the doorbell of Mr. Chen's house; after entering to see Mr. Chen, Lu Qiujian's mood relaxed leisurely, if he hadn't known in advance, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the kind old man in front of him was the most accomplished Chinese in the field of mathematics so far, right?

After listening to Simmons's introduction to Lu Qiujian, Mr. Chen nodded gently, "I've heard Griffith talk about you, and I've read your articles! I also wanted to listen to the last report meeting, but unfortunately I can't walk anymore because I'm old!"

The Griffith he was talking about was Philip Griffith, who helped Lu Qiujian in the plagiarism with Yale, and his academic career was deeply influenced by Chern, Griffith also served as the secretary general of the World Mathematical Union, and he must have visited him when he came to listen to the report a while ago!

"I see that your body is still strong!" Lu Qiujian carefully observed his physical condition, and sighed silently in his heart, this wise old man's body is not optimistic, but this is the result of being affected by the laws of nature when he is old, and he can't do anything about it, he can only say two good words.

"Old man!" Mr. Chen waved his hand, no longer dwelling on the topic, but talking about other things, "Princeton is a good place, I also stayed there for a while when I was young, and you are my junior!"

In the forties, he was invited by Wiblen to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and he can really be regarded as a predecessor of Lu Qiujian, of course, even if there is no such relationship, Lu Qiujian will not weaken a trace of admiration for him.

The two couldn't help but talk about some of Princeton's deeds, Mr. Chen's language was simple and gentle, savoring it but containing deep meaning, which reminded Lu Qiujian of a legend about him.

Someone asked why Chernh was so famous and able to make such great achievements; if ordinary people would say how hard he worked, if he understood policies, how the state and units cared for him, and those who were arrogant would say that he was smart, Mr. Chen's answer was unique.

He said. "I don't know why I'm so famous. When I was studying, I had to write a thesis after graduation, and I couldn't help but write it, and if I didn't write it, I wouldn't write it, and then everyone said that my things were important, so I was asked to continue reading. I don't know why they thought my stuff was so good, and then I studied math. Research always has to produce some results, and my colleagues are also researching, so I can't be idle. I published the results of my research, and people still said that my stuff was very important. As a result, I became famous."

There is no talk of advanced mathematical problems, and there is no communication about the latest developments in the mathematical community. The three of them said interesting things that they would be familiar with each other like elders and juniors, and more than an hour passed. The nanny, fearing that Mr. Chen was overworked, came up and interrupted their conversation.

After accompanying Mr. Chen to lunch, the two of them said goodbye and left, and Simmons was a little sad when he came out, "There is nothing more ruthless in the world than time, and I now find that I seem to be a little old!"

"You're the one who can cross the Ozark Plateau alone!" Lu Qiujian remembered the scene of his chance encounter with him, and comforted him, "This is something that many young men can't do. You'll have at least twenty more years to work!"

"I won't let myself work so hard!" Simmons shook his head, feeling better, "I'm going to retire in 10 years, if you're willing to join the Renaissance Company." Just in time to take my place!"

"I still think academic research seems to be more interesting!" Lu Qiujian once again rejected his invitation, "What are we going to do now?

"Walk around the school with me!" When I came to China the year before last, I only accompanied him to look at the capital, and I haven't seen much of the scenery here!" Simmons walked along the road, and the attendants immediately dropped out. The driver also slowly drove the car to follow from a distance, and even Lu Qiujian's car was also responsible.

The year before last, it seems that he came to China to unveil the Chen-Simmons Expert Apartment Building, which was donated to Mizuki University, where Mr. Chen was born and raised at Nanda University. Then he went to Europe and the United States to study, and finally gained great prestige in the United States, and finally returned to China, where he made a lot of contributions to the development of mathematics in China.

I remember that when he was studying with Jiadang, he once said that young people should find the best people in this field to do their studies, whether they were in Beijing Normal University or Princeton, and now they can be regarded as the best in the mathematics world today, so should we find some disciples to train and cultivate?

Today's scientific research is not the era that can be completed independently by a genius more than a hundred years ago, if there are some suitable helpers, you can also complete your plan faster, Lu Qiujian secretly made up his mind in his heart, thinking that he could mention it to Professor Zhang when he returned.

If you take graduate students, you still have to go to Europe to study, and you don't have that time; and the thinking pattern of graduate students has basically been formed, it is very troublesome to change their concepts, it is better to start with undergraduates, and it is better if you can find young people with good potential from freshmen.

While pondering this, he followed Simmons around, and after walking for about three or four kilometers, Simmons beckoned, and the convoy slowly drove over, "Okay, let's go back!"

By the time he returned to the hotel, Simmons' sadness had been swept away, and he had regained the shrewdness of a businessman, and he kicked his men out of the room and took out his computer, "The algorithm is all in this, see what you can do for me?"

Lu Qiujian took the computer, slid the mouse to browse, then closed his eyes and thought for a while, "No problem, according to my estimate, the algorithm you are currently using can still be optimized, it will take about a week!"

"Oh, how effective is the optimization?" Simmons asked as he was pleasantly surprised.

"Ten percent more efficient than the original!" Ten percent doesn't sound like much, but it can probably add three or four points to Simmons' profit.

But multiply that by the sheer amount of money that Simmons' Renaissance Company has at its disposal, and the amount of new profits added each year would be an incomparably large number.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's start now!" Simmons couldn't help but get excited, rubbing his hands together, "What else do you need? I'll tell them to arrange it!"

Lu Qiujian didn't start working directly, but looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Simmons, it seems that there is anything left to be done before the work starts?" )
