It turns out that Tang Yi was not a great mathematician, but an unknown person who did not bloom until he was in his 40s.
Although he graduated from the 985 Department of Mathematics and went to Eagle Country for further study and obtained a PhD in mathematics, it took him seven years to write his thesis and he was unable to publish it in a mathematics journal.
Because I disagreed with my tutor, offended my tutor, and didn't get a recommendation letter, I couldn't find a teaching job in Eagle Country.
After returning to China in despair, he found a job as a lecturer at a third-rate university, but he had no interest in teaching. He only focused on studying mathematical problems. He was ostracized by colleagues and leaders, and his personality became withdrawn and introverted.
After working for three years, I was fired from the university because there were too many complaints from students. I went home and grew old, living on my parents' pension.
I received unemployment benefits for several years, but could not find a suitable job. It could even be said that I did not want to work at all.
At the age of 40, I have no money, no house, no girlfriend, and only mathematics in my life.
Seeing this, an image of a haggard, unkempt middle-aged man appeared in front of Zhang Jun's eyes.
Just looking at this, this Tang Yi seems to be a standard loser template, and can be regarded as a waste in the worldly sense.
But after careful consideration, it seems that he did nothing wrong, he just wanted to study mathematics.
He had no worldly desires, and all his love in life was given to mathematics. No matter how poor he was, he still insisted on studying mathematics at home.
He never cared about money and honor, he just liked to hide in a small building and become one, single-mindedly indulged in his own interests.
It is really sad that such a pure person should be reduced to such a miserable state.
Fortunately, fate did not completely abandon him. The company where one of his classmates worked encountered a network design problem. Because it was related to mathematics, he tried to seek help from Tang Yi, a Ph.D. in mathematics.
Soon, it took only one week for Tang Yi to solve the problem of his old classmate. This shocked the company boss and gave him a position as a mathematics consultant, specializing in solving mathematics problems. The economy became more prosperous.
After his economy improved, Tang Yi had more contacts with colleagues in the mathematics community, and he often sent emails to discuss mathematics issues with his former classmates.
Three years later, he published a paper in the top mathematics journal "Annals of Mathematics", proving the zero-point conjecture, and became famous in one fell swoop, shocking the world.
At this time, he was already 47 years old.
In the best years of his life, he devoted his life to mathematics.
No one can be like him, dormant for decades, with no one understanding or recognizing him, and facing everything indifferently.
Then, become a legend overnight!
All this stems from his talent and love, but also from his persistence and persistence.
Talent can bear short-term brilliance, but only persistence can give eternity.
In this way, he became the most inspiring legend in China today.
The year he published his paper, fame and money followed. His alma mater even made an exception and gave him the position of full professor.
The following year, he returned to college, got married, had children, and started a new life.
But this time, no one forced him to go to class, and no one dared to look down on him anymore.
"You waste half your life with no one asking about you, but once you become famous, the whole world will know you."
"It's so inspiring! Awesome!"
After reading Tang Yi's experience, Zhang Jun suddenly felt mixed feelings and emotions.
Especially when I saw the poem quoted by Tang Yi in the news: "Yu Xin was the most desolate in his life, and his poems in his later years moved Jiangguan."
He couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and was almost moved to tears, crying over it.
"Among scientists from ancient times to the present, only mathematicians are the poorest. Before they became famous, they could only make ends meet, and after they became famous, they did not have much money."
"If they hadn't studied mathematics and engaged in finance and funds, they would have been worth billions long ago, and how could they be so miserable?"
"This is the true character of a scholar. He does not take pleasure in things or feel sorry for himself. He wanders in the ocean of mathematics wholeheartedly and never returns to his joy."
"After 25 years of walking alone, alone, I finally emerged from the cocoon and transformed into a butterfly."
"This is not only a great source of positive energy, but also a spur to the impetuous ethos of today's Chinese academic community. It can be said to be a rectification of the source."
"This 20 million should be his alone. I am not jealous at all."
Just when Zhang Jun was deeply touched by Tang Yi's experience.
After netizens saw the list of winners, they immediately exploded and started discussing passionately.
"Dear me, these two who have the 20 million grand prize to themselves are really awesome!"
"Envy, jealousy and hatred! Tears of dissatisfaction flowed from the corners of my mouth."
"Chen Yiqing deserves the award. The drugs he developed have cured Alzheimer's disease and saved thousands of families. Giving him 20 million is not enough."
"There is really no way out for working as a worker. If we discover room-temperature superconducting materials, only the company will make a fortune, and it has nothing to do with me."
"If I were them, I would definitely hide the materials secretly, then resign and go home to make superconductors by hand. I would never give up the patent to the company."
"That's how honest people are. It's better not to be too honest, otherwise there will be no good fruits to be reaped, only endless losses for a lifetime. Fortunately, I got the bonus of Sanqing, and finally made a fortune."
"Both of them are in first-tier cities. After paying off the mortgage loan of 7 million, there is not much left. If they don't have to work in the future, they will continue to be squeezed by the company."
"If I were the two of them, I would run away after receiving the bonus, move to a second-tier city, and live out the rest of my life comfortably."
"Seven million. For discovering room-temperature superconductors, you only get such a small amount of money. Sanqing is still kind and knows how to reward the low-level scientific research dogs."
"It seems that mathematicians are the most comfortable. With a pen and paper, as long as you write out the proof process, you can get 20 million. The cost is almost negligible."
"Are you blind upstairs? Didn't you realize that someone only became famous when he was almost 50? Doesn't the cost of more than 20 years of co-writing not count?"
"He's mainly too extreme. If An Xin was a math teacher, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state."
"You don't understand mathematicians. Real mathematicians are so pure. Only when they devote themselves wholeheartedly and have no distracting thoughts can they achieve results. If they are half-hearted, they will not achieve such great results at all."
"That's right. In mathematics, only the purest and most passionate people can climb to the top. We are all common people with too many distracting thoughts and desires. Even if we have talent, we can't be like Tang Yi."
"Fortunately, his hard work finally paid off, and he skyrocketed to fame and fortune."
"Looking at his experience, he is really like the sweeping monk, but he is just a cool version of the sweeping monk. Such a life of ups and downs can be made into a movie, and the result is another domestically produced "Life is Beautiful"."
"Actually, after he became famous, he was not very rich. In addition to salary, bonuses, and some extra money, mathematicians' income is not high. A few million may seem like a lot, but it is still far from being a truly rich person. Only when I get 20 million this time can I truly have financial freedom."
"That's true. Chen Yiqing is so rich because he works in Sanqing. It is said that the director of Sanqing's laboratory receives eight figures in dividends every year. He is worthy of the Wei Science Award, so he is the most wealthy. Rich scientists.”
"He has been working in Sanqing for many years, and his net worth is estimated to be hundreds of millions. It is really rare for a scientist to have so much money without starting a company and focusing on scientific research."
"How can I say that Mr. Wei is generous? He has allowed scientists to gain real dignity. Not only do they have money and fame, but they also enjoy the sense of accomplishment of changing the world. This is a triple top level of enjoyment."
"No wonder all the geniuses in biology and chemistry go to Sanqing. If it were me, I would go too."
"Have you ever thought that, logically speaking, scientists should actually be the richest people? Look at the rich people who appeared after the industrial revolution. Most of them are scientists and have developed epoch-making technologies. Then he started his own company and eventually became a millionaire. This is the essence of the world, using wealth to give back to technology."
"Look at those century-old giants in foreign countries. The founders are either inventors or scientists. Carl Benz developed the world's first three-wheeled car, William Boeing was an aircraft designer, and Edison founded the famous General Electric Company ( The founders of GE, Bayer and Pfizer were all chemists, and scientists should have enjoyed wealth to be worthy of their contributions."
"Yes, many scientific researchers are now being exploited by capital and have not obtained the wealth they deserve. This is wrong in the first place. They are the ones who should have wealth, not those who make no contribution to society and only exploit food. Benefit class.”
"I would rather see chemists, biologists, physicists, and mathematicians become billionaires than big landowners who are extremely wealthy, because the former are the ones who push society forward, while the latter are just It will empty everyone’s wallets and make the entire society lifeless.”
"I hope there will be more and more wealthy scientists. This is the light of the right path for mankind!"
"Those ideas that scientific research requires hard work and selfless dedication should be put to rest. We must develop more technology and make more money. Only when everyone becomes rich can a positive cycle be formed and the fourth industrial revolution will come. "
"China has always put its scientific researchers on the altar of morality. It should have been long ago to let them down, face up to their contributions, and let them have the wealth and status they deserve. Only in this way can science and technology be developed and basic scientific research can be advanced."
"Looking back at my childhood, my dream was to be a scientist, but now, my daughter's dream is to be a celebrity and internet celebrity. How has the world become like this? I really don't understand."
"The threshold for domestic entertainment is too low, and too many people are unworthy of their moral integrity and have gained wealth they should not have, resulting in this deformed society. I hope that we can rectify our roots in our lifetime and see the world return to normal."
"I finally understand President Wei's painstaking efforts. He also wants to create five technology tycoons every year just like capital, rebuild the confidence of the academic community, and let the masses understand that scientific research also brings freedom of wealth, and one day they can reach the pinnacle of life. This is his original intention."
"Haha, Mr. Wei did a great job. My son who is in primary school saw Chen Yiqing and Tang Yi winning the 20 million grand prize. He just told me with envy that his dream is to be a rich scientist. Mr. I am deeply gratified, Father.”
"Pfft, Mr. Ling is really smart. He can grasp the essence at a glance. A rich scientist, the important thing is to be rich!"
"It's good to realize that."
"The child is telling the truth. He sees the essence at a glance, that is, the wealth brought by technology, that is, the progress of productivity, is the driving force for social progress, and it is also the reason why we can evolve from hairless apes to programmers and hackers. City Lion reason.”
"If I were to meet such a young man with such extraordinary bones, I would take out a unique secret book and teach him everything he has."
"Does your unique secret book have the four characters "Advanced Mathematics" written on it?"
“Don’t tell someone when you see it, and don’t slap someone in the face when you hit someone.”
"No one pays attention to Huang Qin and Ding Mian? These two are standard young talents, especially Ding Mian. He looks pretty and handsome. He seems to be in his 20s. Gee, I wonder if he has a girl. friend?"
"Ding Shen, I am his junior student. This is a legend in our school, a standard child prodigy. He graduated with a doctorate at the age of 20 and returned from studying abroad. I am not surprised at all that he has achieved what he has today."
"Hold the guy upstairs, do you have his WeChat account? Can you introduce me to him?"
"Don't be so stuck on gender. After all, you are coming back from the Eagle Country. How do you know that what he wants is a girlfriend?"
"Where did that Huang Qin come from? Looking at his resume, he entered Sanqing after his undergraduate degree, and he went all the way up to now. He only completed his Ph.D. in his 30s. Compared with others, he feels a bit ordinary."
"My academic qualifications are mediocre. It's not a prestigious school. It's not even a 985. It's too far behind the average 985 among netizens. If I hadn't been in Sanqing, I would have been just a passerby, and I wouldn't have been able to achieve such results."
"He looks very ordinary. He must have been taken away by Ding Shen."
"Ordinary people like Huang Qin are one of you and me. He can take off in Sanqing. That shows that Sanqing has trained well and cultivated an ordinary person into a great god. Doesn't this also show that Sanqing Is it so scary?"
"Ding Mian is a child prodigy, Chen Yiqing is a god of learning, and Tang Yi is the ultimate seeker. They are not ordinary people. The path they take is either too difficult or unattainable. There is no comparison at all. Only the path taken by Huang Qin is the best." It is a path that we ordinary people can take, and it is worth learning."
"I declare that Huang Qin is my idol, and I want to be like him and reach the top step by step."
"Proud of heaven, seekers of truth, and mortals cultivating immortality, you look in the mirror and see which path you can take?"
"Huang Qin, who has been working for a long time, is a real inspirational figure and a role model for every ordinary person among us."
"Ahem, you don't know Huang Qin. I was lucky enough to work with him. As his name suggests, he is the most diligent person I have ever met. He has extreme self-discipline. Others cannot learn from him. If you want to learn from him, you might as well learn from him. I pray that my parents will give me more IQ, or I may win the lottery.”
"Isn't he even an ordinary person? Then I'd better stop dreaming about getting rich."
"Sure enough, everyone who can achieve great things must either have a high IQ, be a fanatical believer, have God reward their hard work, or have great luck. There is no simple one."
"Otherwise, there are 7 billion people in the world, why would a 20 million grand prize hit your head?"
The discussion among netizens intensified and even triggered a far-reaching national discussion.
Wei Kang's wealth-creating actions have used money to educate the public, allowing everyone to see a brilliant road that shines with golden light.
At the entrance of the avenue, the four characters "Wealth and Freedom" hang high above the head, shining brightly like the second sun appearing in the sky.
Almost instantly, the ideological stamp of "getting rich through technology" was stamped on every excited person. (End of chapter)
