Chapter 147 Invitation to the International Congress of Mathematicians

Xu Yun had long known Academician Yuan's plan, thinking that it was to present the award to himself and enhance the popularity of the Higher Education Society Cup, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

Under his appeasement, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao beside him gradually calmed down.

Although his smile was relatively stiff, fortunately, he successfully took over the crystal trophy made by Qin Xiangxin from Yuan Chengming.

Immediately, the two were relieved and almost trotted off the stage.

Xu Yun stayed on stage.

Because this time, in addition to the award of the Higher Education Society Cup Award, there is also a million prize money from Jingzhou University and the Mathematical Society.

"I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to excel in your studies."

"Thank you, Principal, I will."

At this time, under everyone's eyes and the camera's gaze, Xu Yun took the square board with a million bonus from Wu Zhongping's hand, and responded to the principal's encouragement to him with a solemn and serious expression.

Soon Yuan Chengming also came over and patted him on the shoulder cordially, also with high hopes.

"The development of mathematics in my country will depend on you to promote it in the future, and I believe that your potential will not be more than that."

"I'll do my best."

Feeling the power coming from his shoulders, Xu Yun understood that there was an extra burden on his body.

But in the end, he nodded firmly.

As the saying goes, with great ability comes great responsibility, and since he has made this achievement in mathematics, he will naturally not let him remain in the same place.

Fortunately, when Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao went down just now, they temporarily brought the Higher Education Society Cup trophy down, otherwise there would be no way to present the two million bonus cards in front of the camera.

And as the three of them took a group photo with the camera, the enthusiasm of the audience in the live broadcast room was also completely ignited.

There are very few people in China who have won millions of prizes because of mathematics, let alone this kind of real-time broadcast to the world.

Seeing Xu Yun holding the two bonus cards under the watchful eye of everyone, he was even more excited than he got the year-end bonus, and although he couldn't stop being envious in his heart, he didn't have any jealous thoughts.

Because everyone knows the difficulty of proving the world's mathematical problems, these bonuses are deserved by Xu Yun.

If they can prove the world's math problems, they will also enjoy this honor.

"Flowers and applause are always desirable, but unfortunately I don't have that opportunity in my life."

"Relying on one's own strength to win honor and status, although young, it is worthy of admiration."

"It's enviable."

"From today onwards, I will study mathematics and I will also prove a world problem."

"Although I am a civil science, I have been studying number theory, and perhaps I am the provers of the Riemann conjecture."

"Two million bonus, I didn't expect to be so profitable to study mathematics."

"It's a little early to envy, the huge prize money from the Clay Institute of Mathematics has not yet been paid."

……

In the backstage lounge, Wang Chunfang looked at her son on the screen and was very moved.

I couldn't help but let a few tears of happiness slip from the corners of my eyes.

Whether before or after the family accident, she didn't have any big requirements for her son.

As long as you grow up healthily and have a stable job, you can find a virtuous daughter-in-law to accompany you for life.

As a result, her son was so competitive that she hardly let her worry much.

"If Xiao Yun's father can see this scene, he should be very happy and happy."

"Uncle will definitely be proud of Xu Yun." Chen Shihe noticed Wang Chunfang's emotions, and immediately replied affirmatively.

I don't want Wang Chunfang to be sad because of this.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi next to him also echoed: "Today's celebration should be happy." ”

"Professor Zhou is right."

"My son should be happy to get such a big honor."

"Celebrate in the evening."

Maybe he didn't want his son to see that he was sad, but when he heard Chen Shihe's comfort, Wang Chunfang wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face again.

——

The two-and-a-half-hour report meeting was finally successfully concluded with warm applause.

As many mathematicians from overseas left in a hurry, many people in the lecture hall soon left.

Only a small portion of the rest attended the noon feast.

Just as Xu Yun came down from the podium and was about to go back to the lounge, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed Professor Griffith and his student Minter coming over, looking in the direction as if they were looking for him.

Thinking that there might be something else to tell, he simply stopped for a moment and waited.

Soon Griffith stopped at a distance of about half a meter, and took the initiative to talk with a smile on his face.

"The next International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Rio de Janeiro in August of the following year, and I invite you to participate on behalf of the International Mathematical Union, where the Fields Medal and a huge prize will be awarded."

When he said this, Griffith seemed to be smiling and calm on the surface, but he was actually quite worried in his heart.

After all, with Perelman's experience, if Xu Yun also refuses to participate in the conference and give up the award, then both the International Mathematical Union and their Clay Institute of Mathematics will be a big shame.

They come up with the world's math problems and set up millions of dollars in prizes for each problem.

As it turned out, the people didn't like it at all.

Perelman's personality can also be said to be due to his personality at that time, and he did not like such lively and complicated occasions.

If Xu Yun also chooses to give up, the public's attention will inevitably be focused on the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

The reason why he flew to Jingzhou City to participate in the report meeting this time was not only because he admired the proof process of Hodge's conjecture, but also because he wanted to invite Xu Yun to participate in person on behalf of the Federation.

Xu Yun is naturally no stranger to the International Congress of Mathematicians and knows that this is the biggest event in the mathematical world.

It is held every four years.

It is equivalent to the Olympiad in mathematics.

In addition to inviting scholars who have made outstanding contributions to mathematics to give 45-minute or one-hour presentations, the Fields Medal, the Gauss Award, and the Chern Chern Prize will also be awarded.

The last General Assembly was held in 2014.

At that time, Xu Yun had just entered the third year of high school, immersed in the shadow of family changes.

Unexpectedly, only two years later, he got an invitation to the new International Congress of Mathematicians.

He and Perelman are fundamentally different, and as an undergraduate student at Jingzhou University who really receives a domestic education, the significance of winning the Fields Medal is very huge.

The point is that he is still very young.

So the next International Congress of Mathematicians is a must.

Besides, even if he gave up accepting the award, Yuan Chengming and Wu Zhongping would definitely not agree.

In addition, he had to take it.

That is, the Fields Medal is a gold medal, which should be its own, and there is no reason not to want it.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun no longer hesitated for anything, and immediately expressed his attitude.

"Thank you for the invitation from the federation, I will be there on time to participate."

"That's great."

After receiving confirmation from Xu Yun's mouth, Griffith's originally slightly frowning brow was immediately completely relaxed.

The smile on his face is also brighter.

I thought that there was no second Perelman after all.

Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to solve it.

"I'm looking forward to meeting you next time." Griffith dropped the sentence with a happy expression.

After completely solving this matter, he didn't linger, said hello and walked towards the outside of the lecture hall.

Dr. Minter, who was a few steps behind, also said a final goodbye to Xu Yun.

"I hope we will have the opportunity to exchange number theory in the future, I admire your strength and talent."

"Of course, communication is fine, but Dr. Minter needs to hurry up and prove Goldbach's conjecture." After listening to Mingte's words, Xu Yun didn't know what to think of, and suddenly reminded kindly: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll prove it before you." ”

Hearing this, Mingte's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and lowered his head.

"I will."

The words immediately turned to follow Griffith's footsteps.

The celebration banquet at noon went smoothly, because Wang Chunfang didn't like this kind of occasion very much, she and Chen Shihe did not choose to participate, but waited for Chen Shihe's parents to celebrate privately in the evening.

With the end of the report, the relevant news was quickly reported by major media.

Due to the fact that there are too many mathematicians involved this time, well-known institutions at home and abroad have also spent a lot of space on the report.

Among them, two of the world's math problem provers are in the same frame, and they are regarded as hot topics.

People can't help but sigh at the charm of mathematics.

It is also worth mentioning that at the celebration banquet, Xu Yun also told Yuan Chengming, Wu Zhongping, Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan and others about his participation in the next International Congress of Mathematicians, and said Griffith's promise of awarding Fields Medals.

Although it is inevitable to prove the world's mathematical problem Hodge's conjecture and win the Fields Medal, it is still difficult to hide the excitement in my heart when I really hear it.

Because this is the youngest Fields Medal winner in history.

He is also a member of the Mathematical Society.

During this period, Xu Yun learned that many members of the Mathematics Society would also participate, and he was immediately relieved.

Although it is no problem to talk to whoever he talks to with his speaking level, with so many familiar people, the itinerary is undoubtedly more cheerful and lively.

……

The minutes ticked by, and soon it was evening.

In the private room of Chen Jianfang's Mengjiang Hotel, Xu Yun and Chen Shihe sat together obediently.

Next to them are Chen Jianfang and his wife and Wang Chunfang.

"Come to Xiaoyun, this cup uncle congratulates you on becoming a mathematician and winning glory for yourself and the country."

Chen Jianfang can also be regarded as watching Xu Yun grow up, especially after Xu Yun's father died, he treated him as a son, and now Xu Yun has achieved such a great achievement, he is happy in his heart.

Raising his wine glass and talking loudly, he had the momentum of being drunk.

Of course, Xu Yun understood that Chen Jianfang was sincerely happy for him, and he must be quite cooperative at this time.

Stand up, pick up the red wine in front of you, and pour it into your stomach.

However, Chen Shihe had a worried look on his face, and he couldn't help but drag Xu Yun back to the chair.

"Don't listen to him, just take a sip or two, or you'll be uncomfortable at night."

Zhang Wenyan saw her daughter's performance in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth always had a faint smile, and she didn't know what to think of in the next second to take the initiative to talk to Wang Chunfang.

"Xiao Yun is now successful in her career and has made such great achievements in her studies, I don't know which girl will be blessed to marry in the future."

And as this sentence fell, Chen Shihe's panic visible to the naked eye was completely different from the usual dignified and calm performance of everyone's ladies.
