April 9th!

Ye Fei took a plane to Zhengcheng in the evening.

The Su Buqing Award Ceremony was about to be held here, and after arriving in Shangdu, he checked into a hotel near the award ceremony.

Early the next morning, he drove to the Century Hualai Hotel, where the awards ceremony was held.

After checking the invitation to the doorman, he went inside, and according to the signs in the hotel, he entered a large private room.

The large private room has more than 400 square meters, and the decoration is splendid.

The floor is covered with a red carpet, and the roof is hung with crystal lanterns, which are colorful and colorful.

Against the wall of the door is a large rectangular stage, with chairs placed in an orderly manner underneath.

At this time, many people have come, sitting or standing chatting.

Someone at the scene knew Ye Fei and greeted him.

Ye Fei is also a celebrity in the mathematics world now, some people may not have seen others, but there must be many people who have heard of his name.

At around eight o'clock, the host came to the stage and introduced the leaders present.

After that, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a round face and a very kind look walked onto the stage.

His name is Zhang Xinwen, and he is the president of the Xia Guo Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society, and he is also one of the academicians of Xia Guo Mathematics.

He took the stage to give a short speech, after which the host announced the opening of the award ceremony.

The Su Buqing Prize in Applied Mathematics is just one of the awards presented today.

In addition to the Su Buqing Prize in Applied Mathematics, there are also Xiao Shutie Applied Mathematics Award, Wu Wenjun Applied Mathematics Award, Wang Xuan Applied Mathematics Award and Applied Mathematics Youth Science and Technology Award.

Ye Fei once won the Wang Xuan CCF Award, which is the highest award of Xia Guo Computer.

Today's Wang Xuan Prize in Applied Mathematics was also established to commemorate Wang Xuan.

It is the same person who is commemorated with the CCF Award.

However, the highest award of today's award is the Su Buqing Prize in Applied Mathematics.

The Wang Xuan Prize in Applied Mathematics can only be ranked second.

The host said with a smile: "Professor Luo Zhihao, Vice Dean of the School of Mathematics of Xiangjiang University of Technology and Vice Dean of Pengcheng Big Data Research Institute, thanked him for his outstanding contributions and achievements in solving network performance optimization problems. ”

A middle-aged man with a thin face walked up to the stage with a smile, and Academician Zhang Xinwen put on a medal for him and handed him a certificate.

All the awards presented today were carried out by Academician Zhang Xinwen.

After that, the two stood together for a group photo and shook hands to thank them.

Then Luo Zhihao made a simple speech, thanking the Xia Guo Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society, thanking the Xia Guo Science and Technology Division, and he was very excited to win the award.

After Luo Zhihao went down, the host continued to announce the list of winners.

"The Su Buqing Prize in Applied Mathematics was awarded to Professor Ye Fei of the School of Mathematics of Zhonghu University, and he was thanked for his outstanding contributions to the field of financial mathematics."

"Papapa......" Everyone at the scene burst into warm applause.

Some people who didn't know Ye Fei had some impressions of Ye Fei at this time.

And those who knew Ye Fei, but had never seen Ye Fei, began to look around, wanting to see what Ye Fei looked like.

Ye Fei walked onto the stage with applause.

Many people were very surprised to see him so young.

Academician Zhang Xinwen looked at Ye Fei with a smile and said, "Hello, Ye Fei, I have heard of you many times, young and promising young man, I hope you will rise step by step in the academic world in the future." ”

Ye Fei shook hands with Academician Zhang Xinwen with a smile and said, "You have won the award." ”

Zhang Xinwen put on a medal for Ye Fei and handed the certificate to Ye Fei, and then the two stood together and took a group photo.

Ye Fei took the host's microphone and said, "Thank you to the Xia Guo Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society, and thank you to the Xia Guo Science and Technology Division......"

After the speech, Ye Fei went down.

The Su Buqing Prize in Applied Mathematics is the last award.

When the Su Buqing Applied Mathematics Award was awarded, the host announced the end of the award ceremony.

At this time, it was already noon, and everyone went to the private room next door to eat.

At the same time, it's a party.

"Professor Ye!" When Ye Fei was sitting at the table eating barbecue, a middle-aged man came over with a glass of wine.

Ye Fei heard the voice, looked up, then quickly stood up and said, "Professor Luo." ”

This is Luo Zhihao, deputy dean of the School of Mathematics of Xiangjiang University of Technology.

Professor Luo smiled, "Don't mind if I sit next to you!" ”

"Of course I don't mind!"

As he spoke, they both sat down.

Professor Luo raised his glass, touched it with Ye Fei, and then said: "Professor Ye, I am here to thank Professor Li Jiachang, if it weren't for his research in number theory, he would not have been able to create the ARS algorithm." ”

Ye Fei smiled: "Hey, my research is hanging on Arxiv, whoever wants to see it can watch it, whoever can study something based on my research, that is also their ability, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

If you thank you because of this, then there are too many people who have to thank you.

The founder of set theory, many predecessors of number theory.

Count it down, at least hundreds.

Professor Luo said: "It's useless for you to tell me, you have to go and tell Professor Li Jiachang, I just want to thank you on behalf of Professor Li Jiachang." ”

"Okay!" Ye Fei said helplessly: "I accept this thanks." ”

Professor Luo said: "In addition to this matter, I will represent Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology. ”

"Huh?" Ye Fei was puzzled, he didn't seem to have anything to do with Xiangjiang University of Technology, and he didn't have any contact, including Zhonghu University, and he didn't have any contact with Xiangjiang University of Technology.

Although Xiangjiang belongs to the Xia Kingdom, because of one country, two systems, the education model of Xiangjiang is completely different from that of the Xia Kingdom, but it is the same as that of Western countries.

Therefore, except for a few top universities in Xia Guo, the rest of the universities are rarely connected with the universities in Xiangjiang.

Professor Luo said: "Our university sent you to our school to give a lecture, Professor Ye, do you agree?" ”

Ye Feidao: "What kind of lecture on mathematics do you conduct?" ”

"Number theory!"

Ye Fei pondered for a while and said, "I can promise you, but your school needs to contact our school, and all the details need to be discussed with our school." ”

As a professor at Zhonghu University, Ye Fei gave lectures at other schools, or became a visiting professor, honorary professor, and so on.

Ye Fei's university and Zhonghu University need to be invited to contact and discuss all the details.

Zhonghu University should also consult Ye Fei's opinion.

"Yes!" Professor Luo said, "I will contact our school tonight and let our school contact you. ”

After that, Ye Fei and Professor Luo talked about some other issues, both of them are mathematics professors and have a lot of topics in common.

Soon after, a few more joined in.

When the party was over, Ye Fei returned to Zhonghu University in the afternoon.

After returning to the university, Ye Fei went to the dean of academic affairs.

These matters are under the management of the Academic Affairs Office.

"Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology has invited you to give a lecture?" The director was puzzled: "Is it because your research has helped Professor Li Jiachang of Xiangjiang University of Technology?" ”

The reason why the director was puzzled was because Zhonghu University and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology did not have any contacts.

Even if Ye Fei's research is helpful to Professor Li Jiachang, it will not be so.

After all, such things are all too common in academia.

If it weren't for this reason, why did Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology invite Ye Fei to give a lecture?

You must know that all the chair professors invited by Hongkong Polytechnic University in the past are well-known professors from the top 10 universities in Xia and famous professors from well-known universities in the world.

And compared with these professors, Ye Fei is far inferior in terms of fame, identity, status and ability.

"I don't know!" Ye Feidao.

After speaking, he looked left and right, then took out a paper cup from under the water dispenser, pinched out a little tea from the tea box on the table next to him, put it in the paper cup, and then connected some hot water to the water dispenser.

He has been here too many times, and he is very familiar with the director.

Coming here, it was as if he had come to his own home.

The director frowned and wondered, "What's the reason for that?" ”

Ye Fei took the teacup, sat on the bench, and said, "Director, what are you calling for Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, and people have no malicious intentions, if you really want to know, you can ask!" ”

"That's right." The director said.

He saw Ye Fei drinking there, and said loudly: "Tea is not drunk like you." ”

Ye Fei finished drying the water in the paper cup, smacked his lips, and said, "It's not delicious at all, what did you buy such a bad tea?" ”

The director pursed his lips and said helplessly: "It's that you don't know how to drink it, it's not that my tea doesn't taste good." ”

After Ye Fei left, the director waited for the initiative of Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology.

For this kind of thing, Zhonghu University can't take the initiative to contact, and you have to wait for the other party to contact.

After all, it was Xiangjiang University of Technology that invited Ye Fei, not Zhonghu University who invited professors from Xiangjiang University of Technology.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the director received a call from Xiangjiang University of Technology.

After greeting each other and chatting a few words, the director expressed the doubts in his heart.

He said: "I want to know, why does your school want Professor Ye Fei from our school to give academic lectures to your school?" As far as I know, the professors you have been inviting are internationally renowned professors. ”

Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology: "This is the decision of the president of our university, and I don't know much about the specific reasons. ”

The director felt a little regretful in his heart and said, "Okay, then let's talk about the details." ”

Hong Kong University of Technology, President's Office!

At this time, the principal and the vice principal sat together and chatted.

The vice principal asked: "Lao Bai, why did you invite Ye Fei to give a speech, this matter is very confusing in the school. ”

The principal said: "The reason why I invited him is to play a big game of chess. ”

"Huh?" The vice principal was puzzled: "What big chess?" ”

"Don't you think it's wrong for the universities in Hong Kong and the mainland to be in contact with the top 10 universities in the mainland?"

"Huh?" The vice principal wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"Although it is said that the Northern Liberty Kingdom and England rank both the University of Hong Kong and our university in the top 100."

"But don't you think that's unreal!"

"As far as I know, the ability of Heung Kong University is at most similar to that of Zhejiang Provincial University in the mainland, and it does not meet the ranking of 22nd at all."

"And our Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, which is similar to Jinling University in the mainland, does not meet the 65 ranking at all."

"The whole world has looked down on Xia Guo's universities and increased their own value."

"We should not only focus on the top 10 universities in the mainland, we should look at all the 985 universities in the mainland."

"With the economic, technological, cultural and academic development of the mainland, the future center of the world must be in Xia Kingdom."

"The development potential of the mainland is endless, and the development of universities in the mainland is also endless."

The vice principal was puzzled: "Even so, what are you inviting Ye Fei to do?" ”

"I'm not done yet, I want to integrate the Hongjiang University of Technology into the mainland and carry out restructuring at the same time."

"As a member of the Xia Kingdom, we have an innate advantage."

"I want to open a branch school in Xia to bring the education system into line with the mainland, and I hope that more mainlanders will come to our university in the future."

"And the reason why Ye Fei was invited is that Ye Fei belongs to the professor of the last 985 University, and the second is Ye Fei's ability."

"Ye Fei has recently become a visiting professor at Fudan and Jinling University, and his own value is that of a professor at the top 985 universities and the last 985 universities."

"If we can invite Ye Fei now, we can invite professors from all 985 universities in the mainland."

"Not only can I give lectures, but I can also come to our school as a professor."

"When more mainland professors become part of our school, we will open branches in the mainland and reform the education system, which will be much smoother."

The vice principal suddenly realized: "I see. ”

"And that's not all." "I am very optimistic about Ye Fei's future, I have checked his resume, he has studied set theory from 2022, proved the continuum hypothesis at the end of 2023, and proved the ABC conjecture in 2024. ”

"If you look at his resume, it's a genius who has improved so fast."

"Such a talent will definitely become the world's top mathematician in the future."

"We have a good relationship with him, and there are many benefits."

"If he becomes the world's top mathematician in the future, there are too many universities and institutes that want to cooperate with him, and we have a good relationship with him now, and if we want to cooperate with him in the future, we will occupy the advanced."

"There is a saying in the mainland, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow."

"We are from the Xia Kingdom, and Xiangjiang is a part of the Xia Kingdom, and we have a good relationship with him as early as possible, and occupy the time, place, and people."

"Isn't that pretty?"

The vice principal nodded and said, "What I said is that I have also read Ye Fei's resume, and he is indeed very good." ”

"I still sighed at the time, such a person actually stayed in Zhonghu University, I can only say that Ye Fei is too nostalgic, and he is also a person who knows gratitude."

Ye Fei: "......"

No, I'm not who you think I am, I just don't want to move.

In addition, the school usually gives me too much money and too many benefits.

I can only blame the school for giving too much, and I can't refuse.

"That's what I value about him." "He is a man who knows how to be grateful, and we repay him now, and he will not forget our kindness in the future." ”

The vice principal said, "In that case, we only let him come to the lecture?" ”

"Of course not!" The principal smiled mysteriously: "I have to wait for others to come to do it, but it must be more than a lecture, if so, I don't have to spend so much energy." ”

"Hmm!" The Vice Chancellor nodded.
