From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 69 Leave it to me to take care of the money

The report meeting came to a successful conclusion.

"Mr. Fang, thank you."

Lin Mo solemnly thanked Fang Boliang.

"Hey, what are you being polite about?"

Fang Boliang smiled and waved his hand.

"You can ask me for help because you think highly of me. If I, an old man, can do something for you young people and the future of mathematics, I will be very happy."

"I just hope that when you grow up and have the ability in the future, you can also think about helping those in need. If you can pass this heart on, I will be satisfied."

Lin Mo couldn't help but be a little touched. Both Fang Boliang and Qiu Chengtong had said similar things to him. Lin Mo felt the good qualities of their generation, which was their love for mathematics and their selflessness in mathematics. Dedication, but also a good vision for mathematics.

Lin Mo nodded solemnly.

"Teacher Fang, don't worry, I will!"

At this point, Lin Mo's trip could be considered a successful completion of his mission. After saying goodbye to all the big guys he met at Shuimu University, Lin Mo finally embarked on his way back to Dongshan University.

On the plane back, Tian Fang looked at Lin Mo and hesitated to speak.

"Director, do you have something to say?"

Tian Fangyi hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Lin Mo, Mr. Qiu came to see you alone. What did they talk about?"

Lin Mo glanced at Tian Fangyi with a troubled face, and understood what Tian Fangyi wanted to ask.

"Teacher Qiu came to me and wanted me to join Shuimu University. He told me that Shuimu University has a program to cultivate leading talents in mathematics, which sounds very good."

Tian Fang leaned forward, and the hand holding the handrail was visibly exerting force.

But soon Tian Fangyi relaxed again and leaned back on his chair in frustration.

"Well, Shuimu University is really good, good or bad."

Seeing Tian Fangyi's appearance, Lin Mo felt a little funny.

"Director Tian, ​​why don't you ask me if I agree?"

Tian Fangyi waved his hand.

"What is there to ask? If it were me, I would choose the same way. Is there anything I need to do here?"

"Is it going to be handled as a transfer or some other way?"

"I refused."

"If you change schools...what!"

"You refused?"

Tian Fang Yilianshan was full of surprises.

"You! You! You! You refused?"

"why?"

"No why."

Lin Mo shook his head.

“If I have to say it, maybe it’s because Dongshan University is my alma mater and I love Dongshan University deeply.”

"what?"

Tian Fang opened his mouth. He didn't believe a word of Lin Mo's reasons.

If you had feelings for Dongshan University, would you apply for Tunghai University for three consecutive years?Go to hell!However, no matter what Lin Mo's reasons were, at least it was a fact that Lin Mo decided to stay at Dongshan University.

Tian Fang was ecstatic. He sat up straight, changed from his previous decadence, and had an excited smile on his face.

"Lin Mo, don't worry. When I get back, I will apply for a commendation subsidy from the principal."

"What else do you want?"

Lin Mo thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have any requirements.

Materially, he doesn't have much need. He wanted to make money before to improve his living conditions, but now the school has assigned him an apartment and provided him with an independent office. He spends the whole day either studying in the library or staying there. There is nothing else to spend on research in the office.

Mentally, he devoted himself entirely to study and research, and seemed to have no special pursuits.

If I have to say, it would be great if Dongshan University could hold more academic forums, lectures, etc., like Shuimu University, so that high-level teachers and classmates could communicate.

Unfortunately, this is somewhat difficult for the current Dongshan University.

Lin Mo shook his head.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't ask for it, Tian Fangyi felt a little sorry. Even Shuimu University had rejected him, so Dongshan University had to match him.

"Lin Mo, please tell me what conditions Mr. Qiu has given you, and I will help you fight for them from the school."

Lin Mo glanced at Tian Fangyi strangely.

If you insist on humiliating yourself, it's not my fault.

"Three to five well-known scholar forums or lectures per week, high-level teachers, exchange studies at international prestigious universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, participation in international academic conferences, etc., and other material conditions, so let's not talk about it. "

Tian Fang opened his mouth. He wanted to give himself a second mouth. Why did he ask this stupid question just now?

With the strength of Dongshan University, none of the things Lin Mogang mentioned can be achieved. Go and fight with the school to get a chance.

Tian Fangyi was a little embarrassed and his face turned red.

Lin Mo shook his head, thought for a while, and seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Director Tian, ​​when it comes to requests, I really have one."

"You said, you said..."

"I remember that many institutions and companies offered rewards for the Kratz conjecture. Now that I have proved the Kratz conjecture, should these institutions and companies honor the rewards?"

"I still have to study and do research, and I don't have time to contact these institutions and companies. I would like to ask the school to arrange someone to help collect these rewards and funds."

After hearing this, Tian Fang breathed a sigh of relief. This request...

Someone once made statistics. The total number of rewards for Kratz's conjecture exceeds the number of rewards that hundreds of organizations cannot pay, and the total amount exceeds 1500 million yuan.

But more than 90 years have passed since Kratz's conjecture was proposed. Whether those former bounty agencies still exist is still a question. Getting all these bounties back is not a small project. It can definitely be called It's a big project.

Although asking for money is not an easy task, it is much simpler than the previous conditions.

"No problem, I'll take care of this! I'll apply to the school when I get back and arrange a dedicated team of finance and legal affairs to handle this work!"

Tian Fang patted his chest and agreed.

"Don't worry, as long as those institutions offering rewards still exist, I will definitely have people get all the funds back."

Lin Mo doesn't care much about this. He really doesn't have any special needs for money now, but with such a large sum of money, it would be good to use it as research funding.

Coupled with what Qiu Chengtong said to him about taking on the future of mathematics, Lin Mo had some changes in his heart. Lin Mo felt that instead of dealing with it then, it would be better to prepare now, and The most critical aspect of preparation is naturally sufficient financial preparation, so Lin Mo then thought of the reward for Kratz's conjecture.

No matter what happens in the future, it is always a good idea to prepare more funds.

After saying this, Lin Mo stopped talking and closed his eyes.

When Tian Fang saw this, he didn't bother him anymore. Instead, he took out his notebook and started writing in it excitedly.
