If he hadn't felt that Qiao Ze might agree to such an unreasonable request, Xu Dajiang would have definitely found a reason and turned around and left.

Such a plan for his Qiao Ze made him, a person with vested interests, feel that it was a little too much.

But Xu Dajiang was really itchy.

Qiao Ze had previously mentioned that he wanted to bring Xilin School of Mathematics closer to Princeton School of Mathematics.

We are indeed working hard in this direction.

Now that the Xilin International Institute of Mathematics is being established, it may become a benchmark for the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the future.

After all, we are just short of a journal with world influence.

"Annals of Mathematics" is now jointly published by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, and the current editor-in-chief of the journal happens to be the dean of the Princeton School of Mathematics.

If Xilin could also have its own international journal, it would really feel like that.

This matter is going to be done. In two years' time, the score line of Xilin Institute of Mathematics will not only catch up with Yanbei, but at least everyone should be on an equal footing, right?

Speaking of the Chinese Journal of Mathematics in the future, a Xilin core is very interesting to hear.

The most important thing is that Xilin University of Technology also happens to have its own publishing house, and the whole process is familiar.

The most troublesome thing in the early stage is to apply for two serial numbers, one domestic and one international. But if the Academy of Sciences comes forward, these will not be a problem.

After quickly calculating in his mind, Xu Dajiang asked with a smile on his face: "I think this matter can indeed be discussed, but who will publish this journal?"

"Of course it is the Department of Mathematics and Science. After all, our idea is to focus on mathematics and physical theory in the early stage. Of course, the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology can also be named." Zhang Mingrui said calmly.

"To be honest with you two, I'm afraid Qiao Ze won't agree to this." Xu Dajiang said with regret.

"Oh? Dean Xu means to hand it over to your school for publication?" Zhou Liang looked at Xu Dajiang and said with a half-smile.

"No, no, no, I really don't mean that. How can we dare to have such an idea about something led by the Department of Mathematics and Science of the Academy of Sciences? I mean, Qiao Ze actually had this idea before, but it was not done in the name of the school, but by Xilin In the name of the Institute of Mathematics.”

Xu Dajiang said seriously.

Well, he actually didn't know whether Qiao Ze had really had this idea, and Qiao Ze never mentioned it.

But he certainly wasn't lying.

Because Qiao Ze said that he wanted Xilin University to be on par with Princeton, so what Princeton has, Xilin University of Technology must also have.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Qiao Ze thinks so far?" Zhang Mingrui asked in shock.

"Well, why do you think we should specifically apply to establish this mathematics institute? This was all discussed with Qiao Ze before. Qiao Ze's PhD study is just a formality. You should have heard that he graduated with a doctoral thesis The thesis is almost completed, and I will work in the research institute directly after graduation.

The first director was Li Jiangao, but it was just a transition. After two years, Qiao Ze took over as director. Qiao Ze had already included the establishment of a journal in his plans, and was waiting to start planning it after joining the research institute. "

Xu Dajiang said with a sincere face.

The truest lie in the world is probably the kind of statement where ten truths are mixed with one lie, making it impossible to tell the difference. As for going to confront Qiao Ze? Don't be kidding, there is a difference between closeness and distance.

Qiao Ze's expression management ability, which is like that of a facially paralyzed strongman, can make them see the flaws.

"Then Xilin Research Institute cooperates with the Department of Mathematics and Science to publish?" Zhou Liang asked after pondering for a moment.

Xu Dajiang pretended to think and remained silent for a long time. Then he did not answer directly, but asked cautiously: "Academician Zhang, Academician Zhou, can you ask me a question?"

"It's okay, just ask." Zhang Mingrui nodded.

"Did the Department of Mathematics and Science think of hosting this journal just for the sake of fame or for the sake of our country's pride in the field of mathematics and science?"

No wonder you have to be careful. The question raised by Xu Dajiang is not only presumptuous, but even heartbreaking.

Strictly speaking, what reputation does the Department of Mathematics and Science of the Academy of Sciences need?

Xu Dajiang almost pointed at their noses and asked, are you hosting the journal for political achievements or academic reputation?

Before the faces of the two bosses turned ugly, Xu Dajiang quickly added: "I think, if you really want Qiao Ze to agree, the journal should be exclusively hosted by the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, and the Department of Mathematics and Science will be the superior of the school. Guidance unit. In the future, every journal published will thank the Huaxia Department of Mathematics and Science for its contribution. Of course, the main thing is to highlight the contribution of the two!"

Xu Dajiang's idea is very simple.

As the two academicians analyzed, in the early days when the journal had not yet become famous, adding a thank-you note did not matter at all. Who in China cares about multiple guidance units?

When the journals are really started in the future, only domestic journals will be included if there are any guiding units or special thanks.

As for international magazines, they must not print these messy things.

After discussion with Qiao Ze, the journal will be jointly published by Xilin College of Mathematics and Physics and the Institute of Mathematics.

If the two bosses or the Department of Mathematics and Science have any objections, they can definitely talk to Qiao Ze. At that time, Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao were probably both academicians of the Department of Mathematics, and we could all have tea together.

Xu Dajiang would never dare to directly offend the two academicians.

But Xu Dajiang not only dared to pull Qiao Ze's head, but also pretended to be powerful to gain benefits for the college. He was even very skilled in the operation.

Let's put it this way, Xu Dajiang has never been afraid of anyone as long as he can keep Qiao Ze in front.

Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang looked at each other...

Well, if Qiao Ze can agree to it, it doesn’t seem unacceptable.

After all, this journal is, in a sense, based on whether Qiao Ze is willing to support it and even make certain sacrifices.

According to last year's statistics, the total number of journals included in the search databases such as SSCI, SCIE, AHCI, and ESCI has reached 20,000. About one-fifteenth of the journals in the theoretical and applied fields of mathematics and physics alone .

It is evident how difficult it is to stand out among so many journals and become the top journal in the relevant field.

Apart from taking advantage of this opportunity and overtaking in corners by narrowing the track, there is almost no other possible task.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has organized many journals in recent years, but its international competitiveness has never been improved. This is certainly not because it is indifferent to fame and fortune.

"Well... Xu Dajiang, Xu Dajiang, you are the army of me and Lao Zhou! Okay, just do what you say. But Lao Zhou and I don't need those false names, and there is no need to point out our contributions. It is enough for the Department of Mathematics and Science to have a guidance unit.

It's getting late now, so you should go to bed early. Let's meet Qiao Ze again tomorrow. If this matter can be confirmed, we will go back in the afternoon. "

Zhang Mingrui directly planned to thank guests behind closed doors.

He finally saw that the Mathematics School of Xilin University of Technology is indeed rich in talents.

There is a bole, a thousand-mile horse, not to mention a treacherous villain...



Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, California, USA.

Tim Cook stood expressionlessly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, looking at the garden outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Until there was a knock on the door, and then Apple COO Jeff Williams walked into Tim Cook’s office.

Tim Cook looked at Jeff Williams, who was in formal attire, smiled and said, "Are you ready, Jeff?"

"Of course." Jeff Williams said seriously.

"Then let's go out together. Those reporters must be impatient to wait."



"...I am very grateful to Apple. The 4563 days I served as CEO at Apple will definitely be the most unforgettable experience in my life. I also want to thank all Apple shareholders for the trust they have given me...I announced that Jeff, the company's chief operating officer, will ·Williams will replace me to take control of the overall situation and become Apple's new generation CEO."

Tim Cook's exit speech in front of the cameras didn't have much to say.

But it did earn enough shots.

The longest-serving CEO of a Fortune 50 company in history has finally announced his resignation.

Although the news has been spread before, it has never been confirmed after all. Today, everything has settled, and a generation of legends has chosen to retire early to enjoy life.

At the same time, as mentioned before, Apple chose to select the company's successor internally.

However, Jeff Williams' CEO still has the title of interim CEO.

There is no way, the board of directors is very divided on the candidate for the new CEO.

Several internal successors have their own supporters, such as Senior Vice President Sabin Khan, President of Marketing Phil Schiller, John who is responsible for robotics and artificial intelligence strategy, and even Jonathan Ive, who has resigned, are on the board of directors. contact list.

This is why Tim Cook had already confirmed his departure in October last year, but it still took half a year to officially announce it.

Even though Tim Cook also supported Jeff Williams, he still could not give the successor enough advantages, so he could only be a temporary replacement. It can only be said that Tim Cook stayed at Apple for too long, and the time to quit happened to be when the market entered a period of fog.

Many technological advantages have become less secure, which has directly led to serious divisions in the board of directors.

"...Thank you Mr. Cook. As we all know, during Mr. Cook's tenure, Apple's profitability has been verified, and the stock price has increased more than two hundred times...There is no doubt that Tim is definitely the most successful career in the world. As one of the managers, he is like a master of art in judging the market and controlling the global supply chain..."

When Tim Cook finished his resignation speech, Jeff Williams took the stage and began his inaugural speech.

As usual, on behalf of the board of directors, I first thanked Tim Cook for his contribution to the company and sent his best wishes, and then came his own policy agenda.

There's really not much to say.

It can be heard from Jeff Williams's speech that the board's first requirement for him is stability.

Development can only be discussed after a stable job and transfer of power.

There is no way, Apple's size is there.

Judging from the stock market, the purpose of the board of directors should be achieved.

After the news spread, Apple's stock price fell only three points and then began to rise slowly.

Obviously, the capital market is not too pessimistic about Tim Cook's departure. Or perhaps it was within the expectations of the capital market and did not cause much fluctuation.

This of course also has something to do with Jeff Williams' successor.

Tim Cook is an industry-recognized master of supply chain integration and management. Before Tim Cook left, Jeff Williams' main job was to oversee the company's vast supply chain and global operations, as well as customer service and support.

From this point of view, Apple’s coaching change is still conservative.

Although Tim Cook had made relatively radical suggestions before, it was probably due to his personality. During more than five months of discussions, he felt that the board’s too radical strategy was inappropriate, and he finally decided to support Jeff. Williams takes over.

Perhaps because deep down Tim Cook is still unconvinced and wants to see if the global market will really change dramatically.

Anyway, according to the contract, Jeff Williams will only serve temporarily for one year. Whether he can secure the position of CEO will ultimately depend on whether the results of this year can satisfy the board of directors. Time will prove everything.

But on this day, the legend of a generation will finally come to an end.

But no one knows that the reason for the early ending is the fear in the heart of Legend.



There is no doubt that Tim Cook has resigned and the news of Apple's coaching change has become the biggest news in the civilized world today.

This is true even in China.

Unfortunately, California time is 16 hours behind China time. Apple officially released the news at 10 a.m. locally, but it was already after 2 a.m. in China.

Even so, it still arouses excitement in many people.

Even if the vast majority of normal people have fallen asleep at this time, even if most of the people who have not fallen asleep are not interested in this news, they will not even be active on the Internet.

Whether it is Apple or Youwei, people will argue on the Internet about the superiority and inferiority of these companies' products. No matter how miserable this group describes themselves, they are already people who have no worries about food and clothing.

People who are worried about life simply don’t have the energy to care about the impact that the resignation of a rich man thousands of miles away will have on the so-called industry.

They haven't even heard of Tim Cook.

However, when the Chinese sun rose the next day, the news became popular on the Chinese Internet without any surprise, directly dominating the hot searches of almost all public domain traffic.

After more than ten years, Tim Cook has finally retired. For countless Apple fans, he finally has a new face.

It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. This year’s Apple Technology Spring Festival Gala must come up with something that makes people’s eyes brighter, right?

Last year’s 15th generation Apple was really hard to describe.

To put it bluntly, I have never seen someone so fussy about squeezing out toothpaste. Intel, the master in this area, is considered generous compared to Apple. Those who don’t know may think that Apple is also among the high-tech companies sanctioned.

Unfortunately, this news did not spread to the Xilin Institute of Mathematics.

There are currently no Apple users in the entire institute.

It's not that the institute has any special requirements. The main reason is that there are free mobile phones and they are pretty good to use. No one will buy an Apple phone unless they have special needs.

Even the one Hannah used had a purpose. Theoretically, youwei's mobile phone cannot use Google's three-piece set, which is not friendly enough for her.

But that's just theory.

There are many talented people in the research institute, so it won't matter if you do it casually. It's nothing more than installing a higo service framework.

This is even more true for Qiao Ze.

But when we met in the morning, Su Mucheng mentioned: "Brother Qiao, did you see? Tim Cook resigned on his own initiative."

Then he nodded and said, "Oh."

Qiao Ze has never dealt with Tim Cook, but only met the president of Apple China once.

The impression that the manager surnamed Cheng had on Qiao Ze was a remark he made at the dinner table that gave him some inspiration. It was from that time that he began to publish papers one after another in the "Annual Review of Mathematics". On this point, he should also thank Mr. Cheng.

By the way, the Mathematics School’s intellectual scholarship is also sponsored by Apple.

A pretty good guy.

There has been no contact since then.

I heard that I had contacted Xilin Licheng several times, but in the end the two parties failed to reach an agreement on cooperation.

Su Lixing is still very reasonable in doing business, and he pays attention to first come, first served.

This is the only fate he has with Apple, so Qiao Ze has no interest in Apple's coaching change.

There is indeed good news today.

Turning on the computer, Doudou gave him the news that the supercomputing results had come out and were sent directly to his mailbox.

Qiao Ze opened it and took a look, and knew that he was heading in the right direction.

In other words, the paper can be concluded.

Even though he had already made clear plans for his future research direction, Qiao Ze still felt a little disappointed when the topic he had been thinking about for many years was finally finished.

Yes, there is no excitement, only loss.

Just like the vague feeling of loss after finally finishing reading a beloved book, it would be nice if it could last longer.

Or it would be nice if this problem could be more difficult...

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

Su Mucheng, who was already sitting comfortably in her seat, felt that Qiao Ze's mood seemed not right, so she couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong? Brother Qiao? You don't seem to be happy?"

Qiao Ze looked at the result again, and silently put this known term into the equation in his heart. After silently calculating that the left and right sides were indeed equal, he said: "The doctoral thesis is completed."

"Ah? It's done? That's great..." Su Mucheng was about to applaud, but seeing Qiao Ze's melancholy mood, she said confusedly: "Well... shouldn't we be happy about this kind of thing?"

Although Su Mucheng is not a doctor yet, she has many around her.

If Liu Chenfeng’s doctoral thesis supervisor could pass, he would probably be so excited that he would jump up and down, right?

It is not easy for a PhD student in mathematics from a 985 university to graduate, because there are PhD students who are stressed and depressed after graduation every year.

Qiao Ze opened the paper and took a look at it, then shook his head: "I always felt that it was a little less challenging. I thought that the final result might not be so accurate. There was something I overlooked about this issue, but I didn't expect that the final calculation result was perfect. "

"That's it..." Su Mucheng suppressed her smile and fell into deep thought.

This kind of psychological massage is difficult to do.

She simply couldn't understand Qiao Ze's mood at this time, and it was difficult for her to empathize with him.

Mainly in the dramas she watched, the protagonist was mostly excited after completing a case or finally achieving an achievement, and many even opened champagne during the half.

For a mathematician who had just solved a mathematical problem worth 1.5 million US dollars, he was frustrated because the problem was too simple, which had already broken through Xiao Su's understanding of human nature. After all, Brother Qiao’s doctoral thesis is a proof of the mass gap hypothesis!

For a moment, it felt weird, and for a moment, it felt like it was only natural that it happened to Qiao Ze.

So at this moment worth celebrating, both people in Qiao Ze's office fell silent.

His mood was extremely complicated, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "Ha, Brother Qiao, did you say that Tim Cook chose to resign last night because he knew you would solve this problem today?"

Qiao Ze finally twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

His mood was still not high, but it forced everyone around him to start telling jokes, so he should show some expression.

Once the Yang-Mills field theory and quality problems are solved, they will probably first be applied to materials, energy, engineering, quantum computing and high-energy physics experimental technology in the future. At this stage, it certainly has little to do with a company that makes mobile phones.

Even if there is, it will probably be many years later before advances in materials science have an impact on electronic engineering.

"It just takes some time to adapt. This is a question I have been thinking about since I was twelve years old. It has been seven years in the blink of an eye." Qiao Ze said with rare emotion.

Su Mucheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, time flies by so fast..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Mucheng saw several familiar figures facing the window: "Hey, Dean Xu, you're here... Oh, Academician Zhang, hello, Academician Zhou..."

Just when the two young guys were feeling sad in the office, Xu Dajiang brought Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang to the small building for a visit.

"Qiao Ze and Xiao Su are both here. I have something to discuss with you. Are you free now?"

"I happen to be free today, Dean Xu. Brother Qiao is not in a good mood today. You can try to persuade him."

"Oh? What happened?"

"Brother Qiao's graduation project has been completed, and he just feels very lost."

"What happened to my graduation project? Is it completed? Ahem... Are you disappointed that you completed it?"

Xu Dajiang took a deep breath and asked, "Qiao Ze, has your doctoral thesis been completed?"

"Well, the supercomputing results just came out this morning." Qiao Ze nodded.

Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang next to them looked at each other.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

Just when you said you wanted to start a journal, the first heavyweight paper was published? The doctoral thesis itself can be published in international journals, let alone the topic of Qiao Ze's doctoral thesis.

"Well, Qiao Ze, what's so disappointing about this? Don't you know who to ask to help you review it?" Xu Dajiang asked blankly.

"No, Xiao Su is joking. Is something wrong?" Qiao Ze asked proactively.

Yesterday, the preliminary preparations and procedures for the research team were basically discussed. The next step was to register and arrange the exam. Qiao Ze thought this matter had been finalized.

"Um... That's it. Two academicians had an idea yesterday and wanted to discuss it with you... We'll talk about that later. Your paper will require a presentation, right?"
