Chapter 295 Best Youth Reporter

In the early morning of the second day of the academic conference, Woolf called.

"According to your request, the headhunting company we entrusted has found a suitable manager candidate. The other party has five years of work experience as the head of the intellectual property department at Verizon Telecom. There is no stain on his professional resume. When do you see it? Time to meet him?"

Sitting in the hotel lobby enjoying breakfast, Lu Zhou thought for a moment while holding his mobile phone, and replied, "Just a couple of days, I plan to finish this matter by the end of January. I'm currently in a hotel near Berkeley , you ask him to come to San Francisco, and the round-trip air ticket company will reimburse you."

"Good professor," Woolf said respectfully on the other end of the phone, "he is in California right now, and I will let him contact you as soon as possible."

If the business is completed one day earlier, the AM firm can get the final payment from Lu Zhou one day earlier, and Wulf can also get his own commission earlier.

In a sense, AM Firm and Woolf are more enthusiastic than Lu Zhou to finish these things earlier.

Not long after Woolf hung up the phone, Lu Zhou received a call from the former Verizon executive, and agreed on a time and place to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon and a coffee shop near Berkeley...

...

[White Sheridan, 35 years old, male, Ph.D. in management from the University of Pennsylvania. He used to be the head of the Intellectual Property Department at Verizon Telecom, with five years of work experience...]

Putting down the resume in his hand, Lu Zhou looked at the man sitting opposite.

"Your resume can be said to be very beautiful, but what I don't understand is that Verizon offered you an annual salary of 200,000 US dollars, but you still chose to leave."

"Verizon's head of intellectual property is a good position, but he doesn't bring me any sense of professional fulfillment, and I can't have any career advancement in five years. And compared to the department Director, I'm more like helping the lawyers." White shrugged and said.

Lu Zhou: "What about now? The main business of Xingkong Technology is patent management. Your work is probably the same as before, and there is no change."

Not hiding his thoughts, White smiled and said, "You're right, but Xingkong Technology can give me an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars and a manager position, which is impossible for Verizon to give me."

The annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is definitely considered a high salary in the United States. According to Glassdoor's data, if compared horizontally, the annual salary of Microsoft's chief development manager is only 294,000 US dollars.

Of course, the data belongs to the data, and the annual salary is not all the benefits of Microsoft employees, but this will not be mentioned for the time being.

In short, the annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is definitely an offer that White Sheridan cannot refuse.

Dreams matter in this country, but dollars matter more.

Lu Zhou is also very satisfied with this honest employee.

Although it is easier to get the boss's favor by talking more about the company's future development expectations and corporate culture, White did not do so. And most importantly, he has an impeccable resume and is experienced in patent management.

Smiling and nodding, Lu Zhou stretched out his right hand.

"Congratulations on your entry, I hope that under your management, I can see a better Xingkong Technology."

Hearing this sentence, White also showed a smile on his face, and held Lu Zhou's hand.

"I assure you, you will see."

...

For the positioning of Xingkong Technology, Lu Zhou's idea is to build it into a company similar to Qualcomm, focusing on research and development, and becoming the father of the industry. As for the income generated, all of it is invested in scientific research.

After briefly explaining the development strategy of Xingkong Technology to White, and the tasks of contacting Professor Sarot and Professor Passy respectively, Lu Zhou ended the meeting.

More things, both parties can continue to communicate on work emails.

After arranging the affairs of Xingkong Technology, Lu Zhou turned his attention back to the ongoing academic conference.

Perhaps because Goldbach's conjecture, one of the two mountains on top of additive number theory, has been solved, recent research results in the field of additive number theory have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Based on the theory of group structure method proposed by him, many scholars have achieved many outstanding results in the research of Hualin problem.

For example, a doctor of mathematics from Columbia University, based on his research, discussed the value range of g(6) through the theory of group construction method.

Although the value range he gave is still far from the final value, it is still an instructive research result and won the applause of the audience.

Lu Zhou was very pleased with this phenomenon.

If it is only to solve the Goldbach conjecture, besides being exciting, it does not have much practical significance.

But if the mathematical method he invented when solving Goldbach's conjecture can be understood by more people and used to solve more mathematical problems, then the paper he published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" can be regarded as a real excavation. It has revealed all the treasures left to future generations by the conjecture of this century.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and the academic conference came to a successful conclusion.

Standing on the podium in the Berkeley auditorium, the elderly Mr. Francis, as usual, introduced himself to the young scholars in the auditorium with his gentle and steady voice, and at the same time read out the opening remarks.

"...Thank you very much for participating in this mathematics exchange meeting, and also thank Parker Corporation, Tesla Group... and other companies for their sponsorship." After reading a long list of names, the old Mr. Francis pushed his glasses and said to the audience The young scholars and the students of Berkeley smiled and continued, "Next is the awarding of the best young speaker award at this academic conference. People tend to forget things when they are old. I am afraid that I will forget things in the end. Let's talk about it now."

For Mr. Francis' self-ridicule, there was good-natured laughter and encouraging applause from the audience.

In this relaxed atmosphere, Mr. Francis cleared his throat and announced in a cadenced voice, "The best speaker for this academic conference is—"

"Vera Puyui from Princeton!"

There was warm applause from the audience.

Standing next to Lu Zhou, Vera's fair and pretty face suddenly turned red.

The surprise came so unexpectedly that she was not prepared at all. It was not until Lu Zhou patted her on the shoulder that she recovered from the shocking reality.

"Go," Lu Zhou gave her an encouraging look, and nodded with a smile, "This is your glory."

"……Um!"

Responding to Lu Zhou's encouragement with grateful eyes, Vera nodded vigorously, trotted through the crowd, and walked onto the podium.

Looking at the petite figure that disappeared into the crowd, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling relieved.

It's good to be young...

Lu Zhou vaguely remembered that when he won the award, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several days. Jinling University sent him a congratulatory message, and Yanda University also threw an olive branch to him.

In addition to these honors, the winners also have a $10,000 prize.

For him at the time, the $10,000 bonus was a huge sum of money.

However, Lu Zhou, who was feeling old-fashioned in his heart, did not realize that for the scholars present, he himself was the younger side...

Standing on the award podium, Vera's expression was a bit cramped, but compared to when she first stood on the podium, she has obviously improved a lot.

The award was presented by Terence Tao, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Craford Medal and Fields Medal winner. While teaching at Berkeley, he taught Vera a course on partial differential equations.

Seriously handing over the certificate to Vera, Tao Zhexuan said, "Congratulations, Miss Vera."

Vera nodded nervously and thanked, "Thank you."

Terence Tao nodded.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.

"I remember a year ago, you told me that you admired Professor Lu's knowledge and hoped that I could write a letter of recommendation for you. At that time, I thought I had done the right thing, even now I am the same I think so, but I hope you don't make me regret my decision."

Vera froze for a moment, with a confused expression on her face.

"Professor? I don't understand what you're talking about?"

Terence Tao shook his head: "It's nothing, I just hope that what you admire is only his knowledge. In fact, I also admire him very much. His talent in pure mathematics and applied mathematics is the best among scholars I have ever seen. The best thing about it, and the best thing about it, is that he's young."

"His name will probably be remembered in history, as it was by the scholars of his time."

"And your recklessness may lead to some bad results."

"Hopefully I'm mistaken, but if not, I hope that whatever you think about him is best waited until after graduation."
