From university academician to chief academician

Sand Dunes, 7pm!

In a small restaurant by the lake, Dong Siyuan and Ji Yunda were sitting near the window.

It was dinner time, the restaurant was packed, people were noisy, and the city lights outside the window were brilliant at night.

The two ordered a few dishes, chatted with each other while drinking low-alcohol wine, and talked about career and family.

Ji Yunda said: "I often hear you talking about Ye Fei, what is he doing now?"

Dong Siyuan said: "He told me last time that he was conducting experiments at a research institute in Chang'an. I don't know what he was doing specifically. I asked, but he didn't say anything. It should be a confidential experiment!"

"It's normal for people like him to do these experiments, so it's not easy for me to ask too many questions."

"Yeah!" Ji Yunda nodded and said with a smile, "When will he return to school?"

"What?" Dong Siyuan looked at him and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"I'm quite curious about him." Ji Yunda smiled and said, "I would like to meet such a genius."

"Besides, I graduated from Zhonghu University, and my alma mater has a mathematical genius, so I am even more interested."

"I don't know the specific time." Dong Siyuan said: "But it should be soon. He said that he returns to school once every half month. It has been almost half a month since he left last time. He may be back in the next few days."

"Then I'll ask you to make an introduction then."

Dong Siyuan looked at him suspiciously and said, "Don't you want to poach Ye Fei?"

"Huh?" Ji Yunda chuckled and said, "Is it so obvious?"

"You really want to poach him!" Dong Siyuan shook his head and said: "I tell you, there is no chance."

"He's not short of money, but he doesn't want to leave the system. How do you poach him?"

"What if the annual salary is tens of millions?"

"An annual salary of tens of millions is not enough." Dong Siyuan said: "Do you know how much he is worth now?"

"How much?" Ji Yunda asked curiously.

He really didn't know this, and his understanding of Ye Fei was also very limited.

I only know that he is a mathematical genius and has proved some of the world's mathematical problems.

And through Dong Siyuan's mouth, he knew that Ye Fei was very nostalgic.

Ye Fei also helped two medical device companies develop two of the world's top medical devices.

As for how much he is worth, he has no idea.

He estimates it should be 20 to 30 million!

After all, it is normal for a person with such achievements to be worth twenty to thirty million.

However, with only 20 to 30 million, facing Alibaba’s annual salary of tens of millions, you should be very excited.

After all, 20 to 30 million is equivalent to the income of working at Alibaba for two or three years.

Dong Siyuan looked around and lowered his voice: "When I was chatting with Ye Fei, Ye Fei let it slip that he now has more than 90 million in cash alone."

"So much?" Ji Yunda's eyes widened in surprise: "How can he have so much money?"

This is more than 90 million in cash, not assets.

Even among those who are worth tens of billions, few have more than 90 million in cash.

In fact, 90% of this cash was earned by Ye Fei through mathematical algorithms.

Selling the algorithm to Baidu costs 18 million, and after deducting taxes, it costs more than 16 million. [I changed all the mathematical algorithms overnight yesterday, so you don’t have to look back. 】

Cooperating with eight supercomputing centers across the country, we earned another 80 million yuan, which is 64 million yuan after tax deductions.

This total is more than 80 million.

In addition to cooperating with two medical device companies, I earned about 10 million, and after deducting taxes, it was about 8 million.

His usual salary, school rewards for writing papers and going to some labs to help get rewards.

His own daily expenses are not large, with annual expenses of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

He now has more than 90 million in cash.

"You ask me, I don't know either!" Dong Siyuan shook his head: "Ye Fei didn't say anything, so I can't ask in detail."

"So, if you want to poach Ye Fei, from an economic perspective, it will be difficult to break through."

Ji Yunda felt heavy in his heart. It seemed that Ye Fei was not difficult to dig out, but very difficult to dig out.

To poach people, you need to give them what they need most.

And money is what 99.99% of people need most.

However, in Ye Fei's case, money could not move him.

A person with more than 90 million in cash, coupled with his strong ability, is also very good at making money.

Such a person should not care much about an annual salary of tens of millions.

"Has he ever said he wanted to work in a private company?" Ji Yunda asked, "For example, one of the top ten companies in the world by market capitalization!"

The most important thing when poaching people is to do what they like.

If you are not short of money, then talk about ideals.

If the ideal doesn't match the company asking him to recruit people, then create a place where it does.

If the other person is a salty fish and has no ideals for the time being, then convince the other person that he has ideals.

This is the skill that senior headhunters should have.

"which company?"

"Ali!"

"Ali wants to poach Ye Fei?" Dong Siyuan asked in shock: "What conditions are you offering? What do you want him to do?"

"The annual salary is 3 million, plus annual dividends of 7 million to 10 million, leading the team to develop security systems."

Dong Siyuan felt envious when he heard this.

This condition is great, if he goes immediately.

Of course, he is not Ye Fei and does not have Ye Fei's abilities.

Even if he goes to Ali, Ali will not give him this condition.

Dong Siyuan said: "I don't know about this. I can ask you first. If he is interested, I can help you introduce him. If not, forget it."

"If not, why don't you recommend me?" Ji Yunda said, "I still want to talk to him."

"OK!"

After eating, Dong Siyuan called Ye Fei the next day.

"Ye Fei, when will you go back to school?"

Ye Feidao: "Go back in the afternoon, Senior Brother Dong, is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay. I haven't seen you for so long. I just wanted to chat with you. Since you will be back in the afternoon, let's chat in the afternoon!"

"good!"

Information Resources Research Center of Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology!

Just after hanging up the phone, Ye Fei was about to return to the research room, when Academician Nan Guodong stopped him.

"Ye Fei!"

"Academician Nan!" Ye Fei turned around and said, "Is something wrong?"

"Let me tell you something." Nan Guodong walked to Ye Fei and said, "You are going back to Zhonghu University in the afternoon!"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "Yes."

Academician Nan asked: "Are you still staying for two days?"

In the past, every time Ye Fei went back, he would stay at Zhonghu University for two days.

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

He went back for two days, one day to watch the research of the number theory team members, and the other day to guide their subsequent research.

The number theory group is now halfway through the study of modular forms.

At the research speed of the number theory team, the research can be completed in another two months.

"On the 25th of this month, there will be a global blockchain academic conference in Shanghai. When you arrive, Cheng Jian and I will go together."

"Are you okay?"

The Global Blockchain Academic Conference is held annually.

As the name suggests, it invites many mathematicians and computer scientists from around the world to discuss blockchain research.

The Global Blockchain Academic Conference has been held for three times.

In the past three years, it has been held in Seoul, Korea, Toronto, Canada, and Sydney, Austria.

This year it will be held in Xia Kingdom Magic City.

"Global blockchain academic conference?" Ye Fei thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem."

Their current research also belongs to the field of blockchain.

The four core technologies of blockchain are distributed ledger, asymmetric encryption, consensus mechanism and smart contract.

Among them, asymmetric encryption belongs to cryptography.

Therefore, asymmetric encryption in the field of cryptography and asymmetric encryption in the blockchain field are the same thing.

In other words, cryptography and blockchain, these two fields intersect.

Therefore, Ye Fei thinks that since he is now studying cryptography, it would be good to attend global blockchain academic conferences and get to know many mathematicians and computer scientists.

Moreover, Ye Fei also has a lot of inspiration in cryptography and blockchain.

After all, he has been studying cryptography for a long time.

After going there, you can get more inspiration by communicating with these mathematicians and computer scientists.

Nan Guodong said: "Do you have an academic report? If so, you need to apply three days in advance."

"Okay!" Ye Fei thought for a while and then said: "There is still a week before the conference. I want to sort out my research on cryptography and blockchain and get back to you later."

"Okay!" Nan Guodong said: "I will send you the address right away. After you return to Zhonghu University, don't come back yet. Stay at Zhonghu University for two more days, and then go directly to the Magic City. We will meet up in the Magic City. ."

"Can!"

In the afternoon, Ye Fei flew back to Zhonghu University. The first time he returned to Zhonghu University, he went to check out the research of the number theory group.

Number Theory Group Office!

After reviewing their research, Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. The research on the mold curve has been completed."

Ye Fei gave them the planned model form research, which was divided into four steps.

Technical algebraic number theory, modular curves, modular form and Galois representation, reduction reconstruction method of calculation in modular form and Galois representation.

Now they are halfway through the study, which is to say, they have just completed the study of the mold curve.

Now we are left with the modular form and Galois representation, the reduced reconstruction method of modular form and Galois representation calculation.

When everyone heard Ye Fei's praise, a smile appeared on their faces.

Ye Feidao: "Let me talk about the following research steps, model form and Galois representation."

"It is divided into three steps, modular form, Galois representation and Serre conjecture."

"Yes, you heard it right, there is a conjecture here."

"It is also the only conjecture in all the research on the model form."

Mathematical conjectures represent unsolved problems in mathematics.

The model form has been around for many years, but the conjecture has not yet been proven, indicating that it is very difficult.

Ye Feidao: "As for this conjecture, I hope you can prove it on your own. This will be very beneficial to your future."

"If you do good research, you might be able to win a prize."

Many people's eyes lit up, but then a trace of bitterness appeared on their faces. Do you think everyone is like you?

Proving your conjecture is as easy as drinking water.

But unlike you, guessing is hard for us.

Seeing everyone's bitterness, Ye Fei asked funnyly: "What? No confidence?"

Amata said: "If you have confidence, isn't it just a guess? It's actually not difficult."

Balaz nodded and agreed: "That's right, if it's difficult to guess, I've proven several of them in the past."

Everyone looked at these three people, three perverts.

You are mathematical geniuses, we are just ordinary people.

Can we compare with you?

Han Dong said: "We can do it."

After saying that, he turned back to look at the others and said, "Yes!"

Everyone hesitated, but finally nodded: "Yes, we can do it."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Don't be so serious. It's just a guess. Even if it can't be proven, it doesn't matter. No one will accuse you."

"If you can't prove it, I will help you."

When everyone heard this, a smile appeared on their faces.

If Ye Fei helps, everything will be fine.

Ye Feidao: "Now let me talk about the research direction and methods in detail, especially the Serre conjecture. I will tell you in detail how to prove it."

"Modular form and Galois representation, using basic knowledge such as Hecke operator on modular form space, Petersson inner product and decomposition of modular form space..."

"The first is the mold form..."

"Serre's conjecture is how to determine k(p) and N(p). At the same time, a new connection between Serre's invariant and number field discriminant will be established..."

Two hours later, Ye Fei finished his explanation and then answered the questions that the team members encountered during their research.

More than four hours later, he left the office and walked to the cafeteria.

It was already dinner time.

On the way to the cafeteria, Ye Fei called Dong Siyuan and made an appointment to eat in the cafeteria together.

Just in time to chat.

canteen!

Ye Fei and Dong Siyuan sat opposite each other, with a dinner plate in front of them.

Dong Siyuan said: "Ye Fei, have you ever thought about working in some of the top ten private companies?"

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, then said funnyly: "If Dean Xiao hears what you said, he will cut you."

"Haha..." Dong Siyuan said with a smile: "I'm asking for someone else."

"I have a senior fellow who is a headhunter. Ali wants to recruit you to lead a team to develop security systems. The compensation will be generous. The annual salary plus bonuses will exceed tens of millions."

"How about it, are you interested in developing security systems?"

He didn't ask Ye Fei if he was interested in money. He knew that Ye Fei was not short of money and was definitely not interested in money.

Therefore, he asked Ye Fei if he was interested in developing security systems.

"I have some interest." Ye Feidao: "What I am developing now is a security system, but I do it for the country, not private companies."

It's not that Ye Fei doesn't like private companies, but there are many reasons why he doesn't want to join private companies.

First, private enterprises are unstable. As Academician Nan Guodong said, stability can make scientific research better.

Although within the system, the income is not high, but it is stable.

Moreover, working within the system has a high social status and it is honorable to speak out.

Besides, he is not short of money.

In this case, there is no need to go to private companies.

The second is to have rights within the system.

He can gradually increase his professional title, and maybe he will become the director of a certain scientific research center in the future.

At that time, not only did I have the power, but I could also get in touch with people at a higher level and conduct better scientific research.

Third, he has an inherent advantage within the system when it comes to applying for scientific research funds.

Don’t forget, he gave mathematical algorithms to the country back then, and the country compensated him for this.

As long as he applies for scientific research funds, the passing rate is higher than that of ordinary people.

Of course, all he has been doing is theoretical research and has not applied for scientific research funds.

Besides, the national scientific research funds are huge, and he can apply for a lot of scientific research funds.

In this regard, it is impossible for private companies to do this.

Last but not least, in Xia State, I have never seen many people with strong academic ability switch jobs to private companies.

Almost all are within the system.

Therefore, to sum up, it is better to engage in scientific research within the system than in private companies.

"Hey..." Dong Siyuan sighed: "The annual income is at least 10 million. If I didn't hesitate, I would have gone in long ago."

Ye Fei chuckled and shook his head: "When you get to my position, you won't have such thoughts."

"I may never be able to reach your position in my lifetime." Dong Siyuan shook his head.

Ye Fei encouraged: "You can still achieve it if you work hard."

"If hard work is effective, what else do you need a genius for?" Dong Siyuan said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you don't agree, forget it." Dong Siyuan said: "But my senior still wants to talk to you face to face. If you don't agree, I can reject him."

"Who are you, your senior?" Ye Fei thought for a moment and asked, "How is our relationship?"

His relationship with Dong Siyuan is nothing, if this man's relationship with Dong Siyuan is also very good.

For the sake of Dong Siyuan's face, he could meet him.

If the relationship is normal, then there is no need to meet.

"The relationship is just like that. I met him during the school anniversary two years ago. We call him once every few months."

"Then there's no need to meet." Ye Fei said, "Tell him that I'm very busy recently and don't have time."

"Okay!" Dong Siyuan said.

In terms of close relationship, he and Ye Fei are closer.

After all, the two met in school several times a month and would chat a few words each time.

Moreover, their teachers are both good friends.
