The almost despairing exam season for the freshman basic mathematics class in the School of Mathematics has finally come to an incomplete and imperfect end.
The good news for teachers is that no children broke down and cried in the exam room again. The bad news is that more than half of the children in basic mathematics classes have already begun to inquire about changing majors in their sophomore year.
This is a benefit unique to basic mathematics classes.
In your sophomore year, if you feel that you are not suitable for studying pure mathematics, you can choose to switch to other majors such as financial mathematics, information and computers, and statistics.
Thanks to this year’s final exam questions, the children from other majors in the School of Mathematics were completely convinced by what they learned in the basic class.
All in all, the goddess of mathematics' charm in the minds of countless students at Xilin University of Technology has been greatly reduced because of this exam.
Fortunately, this wave of dissuasion is expected.
After all, in this math class, if you just want to solve the difficult questions, it is actually very simple. The real difficulty is to grasp the difficulty level, so that most people can meet the passing standard, and at the same time, outstanding students with mathematical talent and thinking can be screened out.
But this time the lecturers and professors went to the meeting specifically, and the requirement was to make the questions as difficult as possible.
It is normal to expect poor results.
But there are limits to changing majors.
Although the college's various resource allocations have margins, they only support mobility to a certain extent.
It is naturally impossible for more than half of the basic mathematics class to leave at once.
Fortunately, professors don't need to take care of the psychological counseling of these children.
In the end, all the pressure fell on counselor Liu Hao, who actually did nothing.
For this counselor, the feeling is truly indescribable.
In the end, I could only go from dormitory to dormitory to ask for help.
Listen to the children's thoughts and opinions, and then retain a group of students whose grades are in the middle of the class.
It's a pity that no one thinks about whether Liu Hao will have various psychological problems as a result.
…
Different from the gloomy atmosphere in the basic mathematics class, the small team of the group intelligence research group is in an extremely exciting mood.
After more than twenty days of hard work, they seemed to have arrived at the harvest time.
The first person to feel the difference was Tan Jingrong.
On that day, he specially called his mentor. That night, after Qiao Ze, Su Mucheng and Chen Yiwen left, Li Jiangao moved in with a bunch of daily necessities.
fine.
The house that originally had three bedrooms and one living room, in addition to the master bedroom used for work, also has two bedrooms, just enough for two people to share one room.
This was something Tan Jingrong never expected. He was a graduate student and could live across the street from his tutor.
But this is actually quite good. At least it makes Tan Jingrong feel more at ease and no longer worries about gains and losses.
After all, with his mentor here, he has a much greater hope of staying in the research group.
During this period of time, he didn't dare to reply to Zuo Jie's messages.
A few days ago, Zuo Jie showed him a photo of eating at a high-end restaurant, and asked him in a mocking tone what he was busy with in the research group recently. He also said a very considerate question, "Two thousand yuan a month is It’s not that you earn a lot of money.
Tan Jingrong really didn't know how to answer.
What could he say?
The work is indeed very tiring.
After all, others are busy with other things, and he is the only one in the research group.
From this point of view, a subsidy of two thousand yuan a month is indeed meaningless.
But this project will be discovered in the future, and his experience working in this project will probably allow him to eat in that high-end restaurant every day, and he can order different dishes.
Not to mention getting a second work published in the world's top journals.
In the end, I could only use the wording that everything was okay to fool me.
Then there was a picture of Zuo Jie smiling.
After seeing that picture, Tan Jingrong felt much better.
This is good, everyone gets what they want.
He reaped the future, while Zuo Jie reaped the easy life of a graduate student.
This should be considered a win-win situation, right?
…
Li Jiangao doesn't have as many complicated ideas as Tan Jingrong.
Not to mention that all communication between students was hidden from him.
The most important thing is that Li Jiangao did everything with a clear conscience.
He gave the opportunity to assist Qiao Ze in research equally to his two students who were still choosing topics. Originally, both of them had the opportunity to join the research group.
Coming or not coming is a personal choice.
As for the reason why he came to the research group, Qiao Ze told him that he was going to start writing a thesis.
Li Jiangao wanted to see how Qiao Ze wrote the paper. On the other hand, Qiao Ze also hoped that he could give guidance.
It’s not about giving instructions on how to write a paper.
Instead, he told Qiao Ze where it was best not to use the word "obviously" to describe the proof process.
So the next research group is completely full.
Qiao Ze almost stayed in the research group except for taking exams.
After finishing the paper, I began to discuss with Li Jiangao what needed to be added.
Then according to Li Jiangao's suggestion, more than ten obvious points were removed and the proof process and verification data were added.
Of course, when the two of them were discussing this, other people in the research team couldn't get in the middle of the conversation as usual.
But everyone has their own thing.
For example, Su Mucheng took on the responsibility of the logistics housekeeper very well.
Chen Yiwen was directed to bring meals to the three people in the research group every day. He was considerate enough that the meals he brought were different every day.
At other times, he would also help share Tan Jingrong's work, feeding data, finding bugs, and doing tests... Until June 29, the afternoon when all the exams for the first semester of the School of Mathematics were completed, a special meeting was held within the research group. .
As usual, this kind of meeting is hosted by Li Jiangao. It is not that formal. It mainly arranges the summer work of the research team and summarizes the work.
"Let me just say a few words. After everyone's full cooperation during this period, our research group has completed the construction of the underlying framework of crowd intelligence. At the same time, our research group has also completed three extremely high-quality papers. This is worth it. Celebrating.”
After Li Jiangao finished speaking, everyone except Qiao Ze applauded.
Especially Su Mucheng, her little hands were a little red when she patted them, and her eyes were always focused on Qiao Ze.
In fact, there is no need for Li Jiangaoming to say it. Everyone knows that Qiao Ze almost completed the paper alone.
Using the name of the subject group is nothing more than giving everyone a pat on the back and encouraging them.
Of course, Qiao Ze didn't care about this.
In fact, when a person doesn't even care about money, there are too few things in this world that he can miss and care about.
If you hear the news in the morning, you will die in the evening, which is probably how to describe people like Qiao Ze.
"OK OK……"
Li Jian pressed his hand hard and continued: "In addition to the fact that Qiao Ze also completed a paper alone before, our research group now has four papers to be submitted. Let me tell you here, one of them has been submitted to Mucheng and Yiwen may not be aware of SIAM Review, but it is one of the world's top publications, and its impact factor once reached 11.6 at its peak. Although it has declined over the years, it has stabilized at above 7."
"There is also another paper that has been submitted to Duke Mathematical Journal after discussions between me and Qiao Ze. As the name suggests, this is the flagship journal operated by Duke University Press in the United States and is also a world-class top journal. As for the remaining The next two articles, because they quote the contents of these two papers, need to wait until these two papers are published before publishing them.”
"Of the two papers that have been published, the first author is naturally Qiao Ze, and the second author is given to Tan Jingrong. I hope you can understand that Xiao Tan does need this second author status more than you. The third author Su Mucheng and Chen Yiwen They all contributed one article each to thank everyone for their efforts in this project.”
Applause broke out again.
Li Jiangao felt extremely sad.
It would be great if every research group could be so harmonious.
They have no intention of fighting for power and gain.
If placed in another research group, there would probably be a direct fight over the status of the second or third game. But no one really cares here.
Needless to say, Su Mucheng.
It didn't matter whether her name was in the journal or not.
And Li Jiangao also felt that Su Mucheng didn't need to care.
This little girl invested more than two million yuan in this project with real money.
According to the contract she signed with Qiao Ze before...
Li Jiangao didn't even know how to evaluate the concept of making hundreds of billions of dollars in just one month with an investment of more than two million yuan because of trust.
In comparison, Buffett, African Consortium, SoftBank Group, Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs... are all younger brothers.
From now on, this will become a myth in the investment community.
Of course, these words cannot be said in front of everyone in the research team, they can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart.
Not to mention Chen Yiwen.
He was able to get three papers published in the top journals as an undergraduate, which was already a magical start.
Not to mention that there will be another article signed by him in the future.
As for his student Tan Jingrong...
Li Jiangao could only lament that this honest boy's life was almost as good as Su Mucheng's.
Who would have thought that Qiao Ze's first project could be completed so simply, and it would succeed so quickly, without giving anyone a chance to back down.
It's just a pity for Zuo Jie.
Of course, this name only circulated in his mind, and then was forgotten by Li Jiangao.
Many times people's choices are indeed more important than efforts.
But the scariest thing is still that some people not only make the wrong choice, but also don’t work hard enough.
This time, Li Jiangao waited quietly for the applause to subside, and then continued: "Okay, Tan Jingrong, although you can get two top publications and two novels, it does not mean that you have the capital to be proud. In addition, your graduation You should also choose your thesis topic as soon as possible. My suggestion is that you can find a point in the research group to start the topic, so that Qiao Ze can also guide your thesis."
"Okay, mentor, I won't be proud." Tan Jingrong immediately answered with fear.
Li Jiangao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Qiao Ze.
He originally wanted Qiao Ze to say a few words, but when he saw this guy's wandering state, he knew that his mind was starting to think about something he didn't understand, so he simply gave up.
"Okay, the next step is to make arrangements for the summer. Tan Jinrong, you have to stay here this summer, is that okay?" Li Jiangao looked at Tan Jingrong and asked.
Tan Jingrong nodded quickly and responded loudly: "No problem, Director Li."
It is almost equivalent to two top-ranked articles and two works for nothing. Not to mention sacrificing a summer vacation, even if you sacrifice all the vacation during graduate school, it is a pure profit.
Li Jiangao smiled and then looked at Chen Yiwen.
"Um... I have to go back during the summer vacation, but it only takes a week. It doesn't matter if it's early or late." Chen Yiwen immediately expressed his position without Li Jiangao's advice.
He didn't care about publishing papers, he simply cherished the opportunity to be in this research group.
After all, after the project is completed, Chen Yiwen knows very well whether he can still gain fame by playing like this depends on his performance.
Li Jiangao nodded slightly. In fact, he didn't really care whether Chen Yiwen was there or not.
But after all, they are all members of the research team, and he still hopes that all participants can enjoy the glory of the day when this project is officially released.
Then he directly bypassed Su Mucheng and said: "Okay, let's end this small meeting today. I'll treat you all to dinner tonight, which can be regarded as an early celebration of the significant progress our topic has made. You all go and do your work. , Su Mucheng, you stay."
Su Mucheng looked at Qiao Ze strangely. Qiao Ze nodded slightly to her, then stood up and took Chen Yiwen and Tan Jingrong back to the studio. He also closed the door and left the space for Li Jiangao and Su Mucheng.
"Is there something you need to talk to alone, Uncle Li?" Su Mucheng asked curiously.
Li Jiangao smiled bitterly, and then said: "Neither Xiao Tan nor Xiao Chen know that you invested in this project, so I left you alone to talk to you."
After speaking, Li Jiangao took a deep breath and said, "Mu Cheng, I think it is necessary for you to call your father and ask him to come to Xilin as soon as possible."
"Ah?" Su Mucheng looked at Li Jiangao inexplicably, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
Looking at Su Mucheng's appearance, Li Jiangao smiled bitterly in his heart.
At this time, he also experienced the confusion that Tan Jingrong had in the research group before.
As the only investor in this project, this girl has not even considered the benefits of the project itself.
But when he opened his mouth to explain, his tone was softer.
After all, he is now facing a female billionaire who is very likely to be a future billionaire.
"Qiao Ze should have told you that I have packaged the group intelligence project for testing. A series of patents and copyrights for this project are also in the process of being applied for. In addition to publishing papers, there will be other topics related to group intelligence. The embedded framework and algorithm will be further commercially developed. I asked Qiao Ze and he didn’t want to take care of these things because he thought it was a waste of time. I don’t know much about the transfer of this kind of technology to commercial licensing. As for you, you should know more I have never been in contact with him. So after thinking about it, your father is probably the most suitable person to handle this matter on your behalf with Qiao Ze. What do you think?"
Su Mucheng blinked, then said "Oh" suddenly, and said: "Uncle Li, do you mean to let him do sales? Actually, there is no need to rush, I am not short of money now."
"Ahem..." Li Jiangao coughed violently, then looked at Su Mucheng with both laughter and tears in his eyes and said, "What does this need to be promoted? Stop thinking about Qiao Ze, and now start thinking about the project itself! With ChatGPT at the front, Do you think you need your dad to do the sales pitch?”
Su Mucheng suddenly froze, her eyes rolled twice in her big eye sockets, and she suddenly had an epiphany.
"Oh my god... can the crowd intelligence platform be sold for money?! Then won't Qiao Ze become a billionaire?! Uncle Li, Qiao Ze won't become bad even if he becomes rich, right?"
