Chapter 58 Results
Zhou Ming had not contributed to the "Mathematics Yearbook" before this. It stands to reason that Katz, who is far away in another country across the ocean, should not know Zhou Ming's name, but Zhou Ming just published an article on "New Advances in Mathematics" not long ago. Mathematics papers.

More importantly, one of the editors-in-chief of Advances in Mathematics, Camilo de Leles, is also a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The letter he wrote to Zhou Ming said that he was invited to come to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. And will write him a letter of introduction to Princeton University. These are no jokes.

Lelis did tell the professors at Princeton about Zhou Ming, and it was at that time that Katz heard Zhou Ming's name. Later, after Zhou Ming's paper was published in "New Advances in Mathematics," Katz also made a point of reading Zhou Ming's paper. papers.

It didn't take long before Katz saw Zhou Ming's name again, and he saw it in the paper he submitted to the "Mathematics Yearbook".

In just a few months, two high-quality mathematics papers were published in two different top mathematics journals. More importantly, the author was a 22-year-old Huaguo undergraduate.

Zhou Mingfa's paper titled "Dichotomy of Weierstrass-type functions" in "New Advances in Mathematics" mainly uses functions as tools to study low-dimensional dynamical systems.

This time, Zhou Ming submitted a paper to the "Mathematics Yearbook" with the title "The node set of Laplace's characteristic function: the proof of the lower limit of Nadilashvili's conjecture and Qiu's conjecture", mainly using the method of mathematical combination , connect discrete and continuous, understand continuous through discrete things.

Although they both belong to mathematics, there are also great differences between the same disciplines. The two papers submitted by Zhou Ming belong to completely different directions.

In the past 20 years, Katz has only met one mathematical genius like Ming Zhou, Terence Tao, who received a doctorate from Princeton University at the age of 21 and was hired as a full professor at the University of California, Los Angeles at the age of 24.

Now, Katz saw the second place.

What he didn't know was that the paper Zhou Ming submitted to "Cell" was still under review, and he had also published a top-notch artificial intelligence paper in a domestic journal.

If Katz knew that Zhou Ming's paper "The node set of Laplace's characteristic function: the proof of the lower limit of the Nadilashvili conjecture and Qiu's conjecture" was written by him in one day, and it was still blooming on three sides, he would now Not only was he swearing in surprise, but he was thinking about how to bring Zhou Ming to the United States.

After being surprised, Katz began to check the paper submitted by Zhou Ming, and soon he got into the mood.

Although it took Zhou Ming only one day to finish writing this paper, Kaz did not review this paper so quickly. It took him three days to finish reviewing this paper.

In these three days, Katz can be said to have spent all his free time on reviewing Zhou Ming's paper, and even stayed up all night to review the manuscript, which was really hard for him.

After finally reading the paper, Katz quickly reached out to his old Princeton friend Sergio Kleinerman, who was also on the editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics.

In the end, after several days of discussion, the editorial board of the "Mathematics Yearbook" decided not to follow the previous order, but to directly publish Zhou Ming's mathematics paper in the "Mathematics Yearbook" in July this year, and directly let Zhou Ming jump in the queue.

From submission to publication, it takes no more than four months, which is generally impossible.

For the manuscripts published in the "Mathematics Yearbook", it takes a long time from the manuscript to the publication, usually about one and a half years.

In other words, the manuscript submitted by Zhou Ming in April 15 will not be published until December 16, based on the publication time of previous papers in the "Mathematics Yearbook".

The members of the editorial board of the "Annual of Mathematics" had been arguing for a long time about Zhou Ming's paper jumping in line.

The topic turned back to Zhou Ming.

At this time, Zhou Ming knew nothing about the fact that the editorial board of the "Yearbook of Mathematics" would cause some commotion because of him in a few days on the other side of the ocean. The incarnation of surprise, Mare Fa Kexia, burst into foul language.

Not long after Zhou Ming woke up in the morning, he received a message from Yi Huaqing. This message was Yi Huaqing reminding him not to forget about discussing yesterday's investment in his office this afternoon.

Zhou Ming replied "received" to show that he had seen the message and would arrive on time in the afternoon.

In the morning, I was in the classroom with Shen Qingqiu. Shen Qingqiu was listening to the class on the top, and Zhou Ming was reading the books of other subjects below. The teacher and classmates were already used to it.

In the afternoon class, after Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu explained his situation in the afternoon, they didn't go directly. After sleeping in the dormitory, Zhou Ming went to Yi Huaqing's office after staying in the dormitory for a while.

When Zhou Ming came to Yi Huaqing's office on time, he found that Yi Huaqing's office was not only Yi Huaqing's alone, but also someone he knew - Shi Mincai.

Seeing Zhou Ming's puzzled expression, Yi Huaqing explained to him: "I called Shi Min, and we want to discuss financing with you. Shi Min and I each contributed 150 million, each accounting for [-]% of the shares. ,How about it?"

When Yi Huaqing opened his mouth, he wanted to bargain with Zhou Ming.

The reason why Yi Huaqing called Shi Mincai together was just in case.

If Zhou Ming's project is unsuccessful, he can bring someone to share the risk with him.

But Zhou Ming's attitude was very firm.

Good guy, yesterday when Yi Huaqing was alone, he wanted to offer 300 million shares for a 15.00% stake, but Zhou Ming refused. Today he even brought Shi Min to come. The total investment remains the same, but the shareholding is higher than that of Yi Huaqing yesterday. The request has also increased by one percent, how could Zhou Ming agree this week.

"Either you each contribute 150 million for 5.00% of the shares, or Mr. Yi, you alone pay 100 million for 5.00% of the shares." Zhou Ming said.

As soon as Zhou Ming said that if he and Shi Mincai invested together, he would have to spend 50 more for the same shares, Yi Huaqing immediately disagreed.

Before Shi Mincai came, Yi Huaqing had already explained to him that if the research that Zhou Ming put forward this time was successful, the future development should not be underestimated, so this investment is also inevitable.

Soon, Shi Mincai also spoke and joined the discussion.

The three of you said one sentence to each other, and they discussed for a long time like this, and finally reached an agreement.

In the end, the result of the negotiation between the three was that Shi Mincai and Yi Huaqing each contributed 150 million, accounting for [-]% of the shares.

Zhou Ming made a little concession.

A few days after the financing was discussed, it was time to transfer money, sign an agreement, purchase equipment, lease the company's office location, and a series of things such as the experimental site.

As a novice, Zhou Ming didn't know much about these things, so he hired a lawyer to help sign the agreement, and asked the principal to look it over for him. The equipment was also bought through Yi Huaqing's introduction.

In addition, Zhou Ming hired Yi Huaqing alone to do their company's first project, which was the full version of "a new type of biofilm sewage treatment system" that Zhou Ming showed Yi Huaqing before.

However, before that, Zhou Ming and Yi Huaqing signed a confidentiality agreement. As for the contents of the full version, Yi Huaqing could not disclose the secrets to any other irrelevant people, otherwise he would pay a huge sum of money.

These things were many and complicated, and they couldn't be done in one day. Zhou Ming also spent several days back and forth.

After everything was settled, "Future Technology" started their first batch of experiments. Yi Huaqing was mainly in charge of this experiment, and Quan Shuang and Geng Xu were the experimenters, and the staff was still very thin.
