Hammer of Technology

Ning Wei was in a daze, could it be possible that liars could be mixed in at the official dinner of the top academic conference?

However, at the next moment, Yu Xingwei poked him on the shoulder and handed over the phone. It was displaying the university's profile, scholarship policy, and treatment for students. Ning Wei glanced at it and felt a little confused, so he was curious. He asked: "Well, this Mr. Cui, what is the King of Saudi Arabia planning for building this school?"

"do not mind the details."

The smile on Cui Yao's face became more confident, and he continued: "Don't doubt our strength, especially our economic strength. Student Ning, really, we at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology can be said to be so poor that only money is left! But it just so happens that all scientific research projects need financial support the most, what do you think?"

------------

116 It turns out that the most low-key university in the world is actually...

When he realized that the man in front of him was seriously promoting the school, Ning Wei thought of Kong Mingde's words, "Knowledge grows with height."

At least before today, he really didn't know that there was such a rich and willful school in this world.

The school does not have an undergraduate degree, but it doesn’t matter, as long as you go to it to study for a graduate or a Ph.D., you will be fully reimbursed for undergraduate tuition and living expenses, and even a laptop computer allowance...

So Ning Wei asked curiously again: "Mr. Cui, if I graduate and choose not to stay in school or stay in Saudi Arabia, do I need to get the money back?"

"Of course not. You can go wherever you want after graduation. The school does not lack the money to subsidize students. Even the scientific research achievements you have made during the school, the school does not have to produce economic benefits, but also rewards. As long as your papers, patents, etc. carry the name of the school. Even if there are great practical benefits, the school can organize a team to help you operate and promote. In short, you make money, and the school earns fame.”

"If you must seek a reasonable explanation for this money-burning model, it is probably that Saudi Arabia hopes to have its own super university ranked within the top ten in the world. Looking around, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, there is no school This kind of treatment can be offered."

Cui Yao said with a faint smile.

He is very confident in pulling this compatriot to school.

After all, the school is not a profit-seeking company, and the treatment they can offer is basically impossible for a student to refuse.

Not to mention, he still has a trump card!

For Ning Wei's performance at the meeting today, he has compiled a complete package and sent it to his boss in the school, so he now temporarily has the highest authority to snatch people in the department.

However, Ning Wei ignored him, but turned to look at Yu Xingwei: "Brother Yu, are you full?"

"Huh?" Yu Xingwei, who was complaining all kinds of things in his heart, looked at Ning Wei in a daze.

"Let's go back to the room first when we're full. I still don't feel quite used to the atmosphere here," Ning Wei said.

"Huh? No, classmate Ning Wei, are you not interested in our King Abdullah University of Science and Technology? If you are still not satisfied with the terms I offer..." Cui Yao frowned slightly and asked.

Ning Wei sincerely interrupted Cui Yao's words: "No, this Mr. Cui, please don't say any more. I'm afraid I'm going to be tempted if you keep talking. Really, this school is very good, but I can't help you It’s too late, I’ve already agreed to another school, and that instructor reserved a spot for me. Let’s cooperate again when we have a chance.”

"what?"

Seeing that Ning Wei had stood up and really wanted to leave, Cui Yao became a little anxious and asked, "Why? You don't want to go to study and make money? What are you planning?"

"I can't help it. Although I'm greedy for money, people have to have some credibility. And don't you think that if a person goes to the Saudi school you mentioned for money, he will immediately become worthless? ?” Ning Wei spread his hands and replied.

This reason...

However, Ning Wei didn't give Cui Yao the opportunity to continue to show off his eloquence at all, so he stood up and followed Yu Xingwei towards the outside of the restaurant.

He wanted to grab Ning Wei, but this occasion was actually not suitable.

Cui Yao could feel that many people's attention was on their side, and what they did was too active, affecting the reputation of the school.He knew very well how much the school's benefactor father loved face.

If he had known that this young man had mental problems, he shouldn't have made such a fuss this afternoon.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei had already walked out of the banquet hall, which made him feel terrible!Say you can do whatever you want with money?

……

Yu Xingwei felt more at ease and more tired.

He found that this meeting should not have been held for four days, it would be better if it ended in one day.

I thought that participating in top-level conferences at public expense would not only increase my reputation, but also increase my knowledge.

But after coming here, I found that there are too many pits here.

When he met every cabbage, he opened his arms and seduced the pigs that needed his care to arch. The huge mental pressure it brought was hard for outsiders to imagine.

What's even more frightening is that even seeing these cabbages made his heart skip a beat...

"Ning Wei, how did you do it?" Yu Xingwei couldn't help asking.

"How did you do that?" Ning Wei asked.

"Are you really not interested in money?"

Ning Wei replied sincerely: "Of course I do! This means that I am not short of money recently. If it was half a year ago, that Cui Yao dared to talk to me like just now, I have packed my luggage now."

"So the more money, the better?" Yu Xingwei blinked and asked.

This question kept Ning Wei silent for a while before he opened his mouth: "Actually, I don't know why. After my wealth broke through one million, I feel that I am much more immune to money. I have also thought about this question carefully. What money can bring Happiness has a threshold, once the threshold is exceeded, people still have no spiritual support, and the resulting sense of emptiness will drive people crazy.”

"For me, compared with money, the additional sense of identity makes me happier. This is not a question of so-called spiritual wealth, but a question of concept. For example, I own a yacht and can enjoy a perfect sea. Carnival holidays, but the psychological pleasure is very short-lived and will be elevated. At most two times, you will feel that this shallow pleasure is actually boring.”

"But if I can use this time to make some achievements, just like the report at this conference, the comfort it brings will last. Because there is an upper limit to the enjoyment brought by wealth, the upper limit in the field of science is at least for the current It’s still a blur for us. When you get the facts right, you don’t care about other minutiae.”

"Not to mention that for me, the autonomy of what to do or not to do is also very important. If you take other people's money, you have to do things for others. But when you are a happy student, you don't have to consider these issues. And I think It’s good now. For example, if I want to do something in the laboratory, your boss will always support you unconditionally. If I have any ideas, just tell Brother Lu, and he will come to my house to discuss with me. Brother Yu, You can't imagine this kind of happiness, can you?"

"Huh? I..." Yu Xingwei looked at Ning Wei in astonishment.

What he said earlier was really good, and he felt that his spirit was sublimated because of this passage, but was the last rhetorical question a little too bullying?

"Look, that's why you think those temptations are so hard to resist! One day, when you can also enjoy this kind of pleasure, you will find that everything is just a cloud." Ning Wei said in the presence of the old god.

"Got it, Mr. Ning, you are right!"

When Yu Xingwei felt that negative emotions were about to overwhelm him, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the Jiangda Laboratory colleagues group, and regardless of the time difference, he quickly edited a message: "Report to everyone about the current situation, at this time Mr. Ning and I are attending SODA's official dinner. We just discussed some problems with the turbulence algorithm with several big bosses who convened the meeting. We received verbal invitations from several international exchange students, but I rejected them all. It's not interesting. , a dull feeling, they don’t understand my happiness at all? Or are the brothers and sisters who are busy in the laboratory more lovely.”

By the way, a few photos taken at the dinner just now are attached.

After waiting for a few seconds, when a few "?" signs popped up in the group, the mentality of being hit to the extreme instantly returned to normal.

Yes, he can't feel Ningwei's happiness, but many people can't feel his happiness!

Fortunately, he is not at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

……

Almost at the same time that Ning Wei walked out of the dinner party, Smith just put down the pen in his hand.

The computer in front of him was the paper that Ning Wei had submitted to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society.

That's right, he is also one of the reviewers for this paper by Ning Wei, and it has been reviewed for more than 20 days. The editor in the middle urged it once, because most of the other reviewers have already given their opinions.

But he ignored it, not because he wanted to delay the paper deliberately, but because he examined it more seriously, and really needed more time to study the paper and understand the mathematical ideas in the paper.

At this moment, he has decided to give his final review opinion - pass.

He probably knew that the other reviewers should have the same attitude. At least he didn’t pick out the flaws. Some words and sentences seemed to him to be a little problematic, but considering that the other party is not a native speaker of English, these small flaws can be ignored .

Just replying to the editor still made him feel a little frustrated.

This kid is still in college!

Sure enough, for mathematics, especially the field of number theory, talent is far more important than so-called hard work.

Admitting that talent is inferior to others is actually a very painful thing.

I'm jealous!

After finishing the reply, the whole person was instantly surrounded by an indescribable sense of emptiness. If Yu Xingwei was beside this professor at this time, he would probably be able to experience this feeling best.

It seems that all the things I have done in the past are useless, and many of the happiness in life have been taken away by others.

Out of boredom, Smith opened Facebook, and then had mixed feelings...

What, he can't escape?

Refresh casually and push him so many messages about that little guy?

Huo Huo...

Did this kid go to the SODA conference to harm the algorithm circle?

That's right, the turbulence algorithm, a certain unscrupulous editor-in-chief sent him a copy, and he even read it...

Seeing the extremely pure emotional venting of those children on Facebook, as well as the content in the screenshots and small videos, Smith was happy.

This Chinese guy is really cute. At the 60-minute report meeting, he popularized the knowledge of number theory research in the direction of NS equations to a group of world-class algorithm experts. This treatment...

So, Smith happily gave all the complaints a thumbs up.

As for the words, he didn't want to say more...

But it's okay to praise the distressed children.

……

In addition to Smith's attention to these batches of complaints, in fact, many people in China also paid attention to the news released by these young students.

In the years when information gap is money, many people rely on translating various domestic short videos and screenshots of popular complaints and uploading them to the external network; After translating all kinds of information, earn traffic in China for a living.

Not to mention the heat that Huaxia teenagers participated in the top international computer conference and caused countless complaints. The name Ningwei alone has not completely dissipated the heat in China.

Of course, not every porter who reposts similar content can become popular and earn a lot of traffic.

But if you carry too much, there will always be one or two lucky ones who will be seen by the god of luck. Almost got angry, and then quickly went out of the circle...

In fact, there is no original part in the whole article. It is a simple and rough summary of the complaints about Ningwei at the SODA conference on Facebook and Twitter, and then translated them into Chinese and displayed them thoughtfully.

Then a storm broke out across the Internet, causing countless question marks.

"What's the situation? This guy is here again? Are you trying to trick me into studying hard again?"

"I've never seen any schoolmaster dare to be so arrogant, but seeing those foreigners' comments, I really want to laugh."

"This is the first time I've seen a top student who can directly overwhelm countless traffic to the ground. For two consecutive months at the beginning of a year, it's a hot search every month! What's even more frightening is that the person concerned obviously didn't do anything, so he just went to the Internet. What a fire!"

Not only were the comments directed at Ning Wei, but the post became popular and even Jiang Da became popular again.

"Jiangda is so old this time! I saw that several foreign friends tweeted that Jiangda is probably the most low-key school in the world. It took me a whole minute to find out the school that had been idle for three years. Kowtow three times to the graduation certificate! It took another 1 minutes to think about where the former alma mater kept a low profile!"

"Don't talk about it, I understand everything, go to review now, apply for Jiang University in June, and see you in September for the god of learning!"

"Now looking at the recommendation agreement signed with Tsinghua University, I suddenly feel that it is not good. I want to ask the big guys, if I go to review for four months now, and then take the college entrance examination and apply to Jiangda University, is there still hope?"

……

Just like that, before the top-to-bottom faculty and staff of Jiang University, who had just started school, hadn't reacted, the voices of various discussions about Jiang University on the Internet were suddenly amplified.

Even the comments on the official Weibo asking about the reporting conditions began to increase.

The number of visits to the school's official website has reached a new high...

This sudden heat was probably something no one had expected before.

This is rather...

Isn't it just sent out to attend a meeting?

Why did you come up with this again?

The school originally planned to wait until Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei returned from the United States with honors, and then posted the news on the official website that the two of them will participate in top international academic conferences as special guests and give special reports as special guests. But before they could take any action, the heat had already picked up...

However, the weird comment with the most likes on Weibo made the school bosses dumbfounded...

"Sure enough, it's a low-key university. Our students participated in the world's top academic conference on computer algorithms. There is no news on the official website. There is nothing to say. Two words, awesome!"

117 It may be the originator of artificial intelligence

Du Shaodong was looking at the report in front of him.

Even though the school as a whole is lagging behind in responding to public opinion, he still feels it has been positive for such a long time.

In fact, there is no need to feel it.

He has already received several calls from big bosses from his brother's school, and the congratulations have a sour taste, which is very refreshing.

And when he saw the detailed report, his heart twitched even more.

After Ning Wei's performance at the conference rose to the top spot in China, Jiang University's search index on major search engines has greatly improved both year-on-year and month-on-month, and the number of inquiries from the Admissions Office has skyrocketed.

Moreover, it has only just entered March, and it has not yet reached the serious enrollment period. If this enthusiasm can be maintained, it will have a positive impact on the school's enrollment this year.

But the more I looked, the more depressed I became.

From his perspective as the principal, Ning Wei's value at this time has already surpassed the honors brought to the school by publishing a few top journal papers and participating in a top international conference.
