Chapter 908 Poaching in Person Is the Deadliest! (2/4)

Chapter 908 Poaching in person is the deadliest! (twenty four)

Thinking about coming to Jinling?

Hearing this sentence, Academician Wang Shicheng almost vomited blood.

Although Lu Zhou just dug out a person with no sense of existence, even if this Chen Yang himself quit the mathematics center one day, he probably wouldn't care...

But can a person who can be poached by Academician Lu himself be called an unknown person?

Even if Wang Shicheng didn't believe his own vision, he didn't dare to disbelieve Academician Lu's vision.

After all, the legend of this guy is really scary.

"Academician Lu," Wang Shicheng said with a slightly critical tone after coughing slightly, "This...isn't that good? How can Professor Chen be the backbone of young researchers at the International Mathematics Research Center of Yanda University? Isn't it a little too much to poach a wall in front of us?"

"……Have it?"

What's wrong with that?

Anyway, you don't want to...

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and frowned subconsciously, "But I heard... this Associate Professor Chen, doesn't he even have an office here? Since the Yanda International Mathematical Research Center is already overcrowded, come to me Isn't it better here?"

Hearing the associate professor's voice, Wang Shicheng couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and said with a dry cough.

"Rumors are all rumors! The reason why Mr. Chen is still an associate professor is just a test I put on him to sharpen his character."

As he said that, Wang Shicheng looked at Chen Yang, and continued earnestly, "Chen Yang, I originally planned to select you as a full professor this year, but I never told you. This is the full professor of Yenching University." , you should think about it."

However, to Academician Wang's surprise, this Associate Professor Chen didn't give him face at all.

Maybe it's because he's out of touch with the world, or maybe he doesn't care about the positions of professor and associate professor at all, but this dull young man pushed his glasses, without hesitation for almost a second, he shook his head and said.

"Sorry, Academician Wang, I have already made my decision just now."

"Thank you very much for taking me in for the past five years, at least you didn't drive me out of here."

"As for the opportunity you mentioned, let's leave it to those who need it. It doesn't matter to me whether I am a professor or not, let alone the principal and deputy?"

"You...!" Pointing at this guy, Wang Shicheng's old face couldn't help but turn red, but finally he put his hand down and sighed, "Forget it, forget it, since you have already decided , then go with you."

Professor Yang Yong'an, who was standing beside him, looked at Academician Wang in disbelief. He obviously didn't expect that this big man who always said what he said would compromise so easily.

The faces of the other scholars next to them also showed surprise expressions, obviously they also did not expect that the old academician Wang Shicheng would choose to take a step back here.

Even if he was facing Academician Lu...

It's not even a fight, is it?

Nodding to express his thanks, Chen Yang continued to look at Lu Zhou and said seriously.

"Please take me to Jinling."

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"welcome."

...

Although he wanted to keep him, it was Academician Lu who wanted him, not to mention that he himself planned to leave.

After trying to hold back a few words, Academician Wang Shicheng also knew it was impossible, so he could only hypocritically say something like "be well in the future" and "go home and see when you have time", and then let go.

For Yanda International Mathematics Research Center, Chen Yang didn't have much reluctance. After all, he was not valued very much in the first place, and he was even excluded and even his office was removed.

The only thing that makes him a little bit sad is that he is about to leave Shangjing, where he has lived for more than 20 years, and go to a city he has never been to.

However, in the face of mathematics, this small sacrifice is insignificant at all.

What's more, the traffic is so developed now, you can go home and have a look anytime you want.

In front of so many people, he poached other people's corners, and Lu Zhou couldn't stay at Yanda International Mathematics Research Center any longer. What's more, he could feel that Academician Wang Shicheng was actually just superficially polite to him, not so welcoming He comes here.

So after exchanging a few words of courtesy, visiting the national training team, and saying hello to the "little penyus", Lu Zhou left the courtyard with Chen Yang who had already packed his things.

While walking on the tree-lined path of Yanda University, Lu Zhou briefly explained to him something about the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

"...Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has no hard indicators for the year-end assessment, where you can study the topics you are interested in with peace of mind. And as long as you can prove that your research is meaningful and that there are indeed necessary expenses, You can apply for the funding you need."

"In addition, I may not be able to help you too much about Hodge's conjecture. After all, I have my own things to do, but you can come and discuss with me when you are not busy. For algebraic geometry, I still have some feelings."

Holding a large pile of draft paper, files and other documents in his hand, Chen Yang nodded solemnly and said: "Thank you, you have already helped me a lot."

"You're welcome," Lu Zhou continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, do you really not know me?"

"Know?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I know you. The paper in the "Annual of Mathematics" has your name on it. pay attention to……"

Lu Zhou coughed lightly and asked.

"... How long has it been since you went online?"

Chen Yang thought about it carefully and answered this question.

"Five years ago, since I entered the Mathematics Research Center, I seldom use the Internet...but I don't really need it. There is a rich collection of books, and all the journals I need can be found there, and there are always newer ones. .Even if there is no internet, it is quite convenient to look up information.”

Lu Zhou did not give up and asked: "You don't watch TV?"

Chen Yang: "...the cafeteria has a TV, but when I go there, it's usually not lunch time."

Knew it……

It turned out to be an old antique that does not use the Internet!

This kind of person is not so rare in Princeton. Many elderly professors really don't like to use the Internet. They even leave it to their own PhDs to book air tickets and register on the official website of academic conferences.

However, this kind of thing actually happened in Huaguo, and it also happened to a young scholar in his thirties and forties, which seemed a little inconceivable.

Clearing his throat, Lu Zhou said, "...I don't want to complain about your research habits, but it's not the past anymore. Internet tools can make many complicated things easier, such as Arxiv, which is a treasure trove of inspiration. While the preprints hanging there are of varying quality and have not been peer-reviewed, you can most intuitively feel the thoughts of the contributors.”

"Arxiv?"

"...No, you don't even know about Arxiv?"

It seems that he has finally begun to reflect on whether he has fallen behind, Chen Yang said thoughtfully.

"I will remember."

Although people are a little out of the world, it is still good to be able to listen to opinions.

Lu Zhou nodded and did not continue on this topic.

But now he understands why this Chen Yang doesn't know himself at all even though he is doing mathematics

Five years ago, it seemed like he was still in Princeton.

If it's been in retreat since then, and if he didn't pay much attention to the gossip in the mathematics world before, this guy really doesn't know him.

Just like that kid born after 2000, if you start to be a top student in junior high school, you don’t watch TV or wear scarves, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know him.

Originally, the academia was a relatively closed circle, unlike the entertainment circle which was open to the general public.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked about your treatment yet."

"Treatment?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and said randomly, "You can do whatever you want, as long as it is enough for living expenses... Oh yes, there is also a subscription to periodicals."

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"This is not allowed, it breaks the rules in my place... Are you a Ph.D?"

Chen Yang nodded.

"Yes……"

Lu Zhou thought for a while, and then said: "You are an associate professor at Shangjing Mathematics Institute, so your monthly salary will start at 10k after you come here. As for the five social insurance and one housing fund and accommodation arrangements, after you go to report there, someone will talk to you Let’s talk about it specifically. Although there is no performance pressure here, I am still results-oriented. If you want higher remuneration, you have to make results that match it, and work hard to apply for national funding. What I can give you is only It's just a research environment."

After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Chen Yang nodded, indicating that he knew, but his focus was not on the treatment at all.

"Aren't you going to Jinling with me?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't come to Beijing just to poach someone. I have to have a meeting in Beijing. Just bring my letter of recommendation and take a taxi?"

Chen Yang thought for a while, then nodded.

"That would."

The two were about to reach the school gate.

Lu Zhou even saw the standard black red flag parked at the door.

But at this moment, a slightly younger shout suddenly came from behind.

"Academician Lu! Wait a minute, Academician Lu!"

Leading Chen Yang to a stop, Lu Zhou turned around and saw that kid wearing a peaked cap running towards here panting.

Seeing him stop and gasp on his knees, Lu Zhou, who didn't want to talk to him very much, raised his eyebrows, but asked gently.

"Little brother, what's the matter?"

Panting out of breath, the boy patted his chest, barely straightened up and said.

"Well, let me introduce myself again! My name is Jimo, a member of the national training team for the imo competition. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. Students who are familiar with me know that I'm a bit face blind. I won't lie to you! And I haven't seen you before. Your photo, I'm really sorry... um, um, can you accept me as an apprentice?"

Lu Zhou originally wanted to refuse directly, but seeing the look of anticipation in the boy's eyes, he couldn't say a direct rejection.

"Oh, tell me, what are your skills?"

"Hey," the boy scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "My ability is definitely not worth mentioning in your opinion."

Oh, you also know?

Then still dance like this?

Lu Zhou chuckled, and was just about to tease him.

But at this moment, what the boy said next made him take back that ridicule.

"However, the teacher of the training team said that I was the only student who did the last big question during the winter camp exam. If you choose to take the path of pure mathematics in the future, you can consider developing in the direction of analytic number theory or complex analysis. .In my impression, the strongest number theorist is you!"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, and looked at him with a strange expression.

"...Wait, you were the only one who solved that question?"

"Yeah!" The boy had a little complacency on his face, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Our teacher scolded the person who made the question for a long time, saying that he gave such a difficult question to a group of high school students. It is said that there are a lot of questions The teachers who were sent to correct the papers had a headache for a while. After all, they usually don’t come up with questions related to the Riemann zeta function. This is completely beyond the outline! Of course, there is no outline for competitions. thing……"

This young man named Zimmer is obviously a talker, and he went from the last big question to the penultimate big question, and then drifted to what he saw and heard in the IMO national competition.

Lu Zhou, who didn't listen to what he was talking about at all, had a slightly awkward expression at the moment.

The person who proposed the last big question...

Isn't it him...

But, can't it?

Only one person does it?

Can it be that difficult?

Lu Zhou still couldn't figure it out. He obviously chose a very simple answer question. Even with only a little mathematics knowledge of high school level, he can try to push the result, but the steps are a little troublesome.

Looking at Ji Mo who was pulling away, Lu Zhou put on a straight face, coughed lightly, and stopped him.

"Don't rush to get complacent, the question itself is not difficult, and it's not surprising to do it."

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"I admit that you do have some talent in mathematics, but don't be too proud."

"Since you know me, you must have heard of my achievements. It is not so easy to be my apprentice."

"I know! You are amazing!" With little stars in his eyes, the boy continued, "Tell me, what do you want me to do to teach me math?"

After confirming that the excitement in those eyes was not due to the desire for fame or power, but just because of his love for mathematics, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, then turned around.

"It's very simple, first go to the imo contest and get a gold medal and come back."

After finishing speaking, he took Chen Yang, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and walked towards the school gate where the shadow was stretched by the setting sun under the gaze of the boy's adoration.
