Xu Yun had known Academician Yuan's plan for a long time, thinking that it would be an award for himself and it would increase the popularity of the Higher Education Society Cup, so there was no reason to refuse.
Under his comfort, Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao gradually calmed down.
Although his smile was stiff, fortunately, he successfully took over the crystal trophy that Qin Xiangxin found someone to make from Yuan Chengming.
Then the two of them were relieved and almost trotted off the stage.
Xu Yun stayed on the stage.
Because this time in addition to the Higher Education Society Cup Award, there are also million-dollar prizes from Jingzhou University and the Mathematical Society.
"I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve great results in your studies."
"Thank you principal, I will."
At this time, under the gaze of everyone and the camera, Xu Yun took the square board with a million bonus written on it from Wu Zhongping, and responded to the principal's encouragement with a solemn and serious expression.
Soon Yuan Chengming also came over and patted his shoulder cordially with high hopes.
"The development of mathematics in our country will be driven by you in the future. I believe your potential is much more than that."
"I will try my best."
Feeling the strength coming from his shoulders, Xu Yun understood that there was an invisible extra burden on him.
But in the end, he nodded with firm eyes.
As the saying goes, with great ability comes great responsibility. Since he has made such achievements in mathematics, he will naturally not let him stand still.
Fortunately, when Zhu Liyan and Zheng Yuchao went down just now, they temporarily took the Higher Education Society Cup trophy with them. Otherwise, there is really no way to show the two million-dollar prizes in front of the camera.
As the three people posed for a group photo facing the camera, the enthusiasm of the audience in the live broadcast room was completely ignited.
There are very few people in China who have won a million-dollar prize for mathematics, let alone such a real-time broadcast to the world.
Seeing Xu Yun holding the two gold medals in front of everyone, I was even more excited than getting the year-end bonus. Although I couldn't help feeling envious, I didn't have any jealous thoughts in my heart.
Because everyone knows the difficulty of proving the world's mathematical problems, Xu Yun deserves these bonuses.
If they can prove the world's mathematical problems, they will also enjoy this honor.
"Flowers and applause always make people yearn for it, but it's a pity that I will never have such an opportunity in this life."
"You have won honor and status by relying on your own strength. Although you are young, you are worthy of admiration."
"It's so enviable."
"Starting from today on studying mathematics, I also want to prove a difficult problem in the world."
"Although I am a civilian, I have been studying number theory. Maybe I am the prover of the Riemann Hypothesis."
"Two million bonuses. I didn't expect that studying mathematics can be so profitable."
"It's a little early to be envious. The huge bonus from the Clay Mathematics Institute has not been distributed yet."
…
In the backstage lounge, Wang Chunfang looked at her son on the screen and felt very moved.
I couldn't help but shed a few tears of happiness from the corners of my eyes.
No matter before or after the accident in her family, she had no big demands on her son.
As long as he grows up healthy and has a stable job, he can find a virtuous wife to accompany him throughout his life.
As a result, her son was so impressive that she hardly had to worry about it.
"If Xiaoyun's father could see this scene, he would be very happy and happy."
"Uncle will definitely be proud of Xu Yun." Chen Shihe noticed Wang Chunfang's mood and immediately replied in a positive tone.
I don’t want Wang Chunfang to be sad because of this.
Zhou Zhi, who was next to him, saw this and agreed: "You should be happy when something like this is worth celebrating today."
"Professor Zhou is right."
"My son should be happy to have received such a great honor."
"We have to celebrate tonight."
Perhaps because she didn't want her son to see her sad, after hearing Chen Shihe's comfort, Wang Chunfang wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and put a smile on her face again.
——
The report meeting, which lasted for two and a half hours, ended successfully with warm applause.
Since many mathematicians from overseas were anxious to leave, many people in the lecture hall soon left.
Only a small portion of the remainder attended the celebration feast at noon.
Just when Xu Yun came down from the podium and was about to return to the lounge, he suddenly noticed Professor Griffith and his student Mingte walking over from the corner of his eye. They seemed to be looking for him.
Thinking that he might have other things to tell him, he simply stopped and waited for a while.
Soon Griffith stopped about half a meter away, with a smile on his face and took the initiative to chat.
"The next International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Rio de Janeiro in August of the following year. On behalf of the International Mathematical Union, I invite you to attend. The Fields Medal and huge bonuses will be awarded at that time."
When he told this incident, Griffith seemed to be smiling and calm on the surface, but actually he was quite worried in his heart.
After all, with Perelman's lesson learned, if Xu Yun also refused to attend the conference and gave up the award, it would be a big loss for both the International Mathematical Union and their Clay Mathematics Institute.
They pose the world's most difficult mathematical problems and offer prizes of up to one million dollars for each problem.
The prover doesn't like it at all.
It can be said that Perelman did not like such lively and complicated occasions because of his personality.
If Xu Yun also chooses to give up, public attention will inevitably focus on the Clay Mathematics Institute.
The reason why he flew to Jingzhou City to attend the report meeting this time was not only because he admired the process of proving Hodge's conjecture, but also because he wanted to invite Xu Yun to participate in person on behalf of the Federation.
Xu Yun is naturally no stranger to the International Congress of Mathematicians and knows that it is the largest event in the world of mathematics.
Held every four years.
It is equivalent to the Olympic Games in mathematics.
At the conference, in addition to inviting scholars who have made outstanding contributions to mathematics to give 45-minute or one-hour reports, the conference will also award Fields Medal, Gauss Medal, Chern Medal, etc.
The last conference was in 2014.
At that time, Xu Yun had just entered the third year of high school and was immersed in the shadow of family changes.
Unexpectedly, only two years later, he received an invitation to the new International Congress of Mathematicians.
There are fundamental differences between him and Perelman. As an undergraduate student of Kyoto University who has truly received domestic education, winning the Fields Medal is of great significance.
The key is that he is still very young.
So I must go to the next International Congress of Mathematicians.
Moreover, even if he gave up accepting the award, Yuan Chengming, Wu Zhongping and the others would definitely not agree.
In addition, he had another reason why he had to take it.
That is, the Fields Medal is a gold medal. It should be your own, so there is no reason to not want it.
With his thoughts staying here, Xu Yun no longer hesitated and immediately expressed his attitude.
"Thank you to the federation for the invitation. I will be there on time to participate."
"That's great."
After receiving confirmation from Xu Yun, Griffith's slightly frowning brows immediately relaxed completely.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
I thought that after all there was no second Perelman.
Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to solve it.
"I'm looking forward to our next meeting with you." Griffith said these words happily.
After completely settling the matter, he did not linger any longer. He said hello and walked out of the lecture hall.
Dr. Mingte, who was a few steps behind, also said his final farewell to Xu Yun.
"I hope we can have the opportunity to exchange number theory in the future. I admire your strength and talent."
"Of course there is no problem with communication, but Dr. Minter must hurry up and prove Goldbach's conjecture." After hearing Minter's words, Xu Yun suddenly thought of something and kindly reminded him: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I will rush Prove it before you.”
Hearing this, Mingte's expression froze for a moment, then he came back to his senses and nodded heavily.
"I will."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and followed Griffith's footsteps.
The celebration banquet at noon went smoothly, because Wang Chunfang didn't like this kind of occasion very much. She and Chen Shihe did not choose to attend, but waited until Chen Shihe's parents were called in the evening to celebrate privately.
As the report meeting ended, relevant news was quickly reported by major media.
Since there were so many mathematicians involved this time, well-known institutions at home and abroad also spent a lot of time reporting on it.
Among them, two provers of the world's mathematical problems are in the same frame, and they are even regarded as hot topics.
People can't help but marvel at the charm of mathematics.
It is also worth mentioning that at the celebration banquet, Xu Yun also told Yuan Chengming, Wu Zhongping, Qin Xiangxin, Tang Yanshan and others that he was going to participate in the next International Congress of Mathematicians, and told him about the award given by Griffith. Fields Medal Promise.
Although it is inevitable to win the Fields Medal for proving the Hodge Conjecture, one of the most difficult problems in mathematics in the world, I still couldn’t hide my excitement when I actually heard it.
Because this is the youngest Fields Medal winner in history.
and is also a member of the Mathematical Society.
During this period, Xu Yun learned that many members of the Mathematical Society would also participate, and he felt relieved.
Although with his speaking skills, he would have no problem talking to anyone, but with so many familiar people, the trip would undoubtedly be more lively and lively.
…
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was night.
In the private room of Chen Jianfang's Mengjiang Hotel, Xu Yun and Chen Shihe sat obediently together.
Next to them were Chen Jianfang, his wife and Wang Chunfang.
"Come on, Xiaoyun, uncle, congratulations on becoming a mathematician and bringing glory to yourself and the country."
Chen Jianfang has watched Xu Yun grow up, especially after Xu Yun's father passed away, he treated him as a son. Now that Xu Yun has achieved such great achievements, he is very happy.
He raised his glass and spoke loudly, giving off an aura of drunkenness.
Of course Xu Yun understood that Chen Jianfang was truly happy for him, and he must have been very cooperative at this time.
He stood up, picked up the red wine in front of him, and poured it into his stomach.
On the other hand, Chen Shihe had a worried look on his face and couldn't help but drag Xu Yun to the chair again.
"Don't listen to him, just take a few sips, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable at night."
Zhang Wenyan saw her daughter's performance in her eyes, and she always had a faint smile on her lips. She didn't know what to think of and took the initiative to talk to Wang Chunfang the next second.
"Xiao Yun is now successful in her career and has achieved such great results in her studies. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to marry her in the future."
As these words fell, Chen Shihe's panic was visible to the naked eye, which was completely different from his usual dignified and calm ladylike behavior.
