The internet was abuzz with discussions of related matters—
"Zhao Yi said he would establish a foundation to support young scholars engaged in mathematical theory research and personally donated a million dollars!"
"He’s so great, that’s a million dollars!"
"A million dollars, just like that, donated!"
"Zhao Yi genuinely cares about the developnt of mathematics in our country, his interview hits close to ho!"
"I wonder when his foundation will be established, I am certainly going to donate when it does!"
"Support!"
Online discussions about Zhao Yi’s establishnt of the foundation were overwhelmingly positive. However, there were also those who took the opportunity to point out that other people had also established foundations and donated large sums of money.
For example, Qiu Chengwen.
Qiu Chengwen has founded a foundation with roughly the sa amount of money, aiming to support the developnt of mathematics, yet the news received little attention and barely any reactions.
Why does Zhao Yi get all the attention?
This was also on the minds of the interviewing journalists. One crucial reason is Zhao Yi’s age. The fact that such a young person can invest a large sum in establishing a foundation for academic developnt is, indeed, remarkable.
Qiu Chengwen, in contrast, is already quite old, giving a different impression.
Additionally, there is also the matter of dostic influence.
No matter how you slice it, Qiu Chengwen is a ’foreign academician’ who, for the ti being, has not returned to Chinese citizenship. The feelings of the people are entirely different. He has won the Fields dal, yet no one knows how he obtained it.
Zhao Yi is different.
Although he has not yet won the Fields dal, he has solved two well-known mathematical problems, and winning an award feels like a foregone conclusion. Furthermore, he is extraordinarily young and is internationally recognized as a super genius; his fa in China can be compared to that of an ’A-list celebrity’.
His generous donation aid at supporting young scholars naturally sparked heated debate.
Many dia outlets also got involved, reporting on the event. While giving high praises to Zhao Yi, they also discussed the importance of supporting theoretical research.
It served as popular science education.
Many people do not know the difference between ’science’ and ’technology’, nor do they understand the difference between a ’scientist’ and an ’engineer’ in academic matters. They are even less aware of the difficulties faced by young scholars engaged in mathematical theory research.
After a dia bombardnt, people finally understood why engaging in mathematical theoretical research faces so many obstacles, why China has so few world-renowned mathematicians and physicists, and finally understood Zhao Yi’s purpose in deciding to establish a foundation.
As so dia outlets followed the wind’s lead and reported, official dia quickly made a move.
"People’s Daily" and "Youth Daily" subsequently wrote related articles, highly praised Zhao Yi’s actions, and called for the country to pay attention to talents who are engaged in theoretical research.
The official dia’s affirmation is significant.
The number of dia reports on the internet increased, sparking even more heated discussions, with many netizens comnting, "When the foundation is established, we must definitely donate, contributing our part."
Online publicity is beneficial; it didn’t only give Zhao Yi a high evaluation, but it also made him feel a lot lighter. Several institutions and firms contacted him, hoping to help manage the foundation.
A foundation is not sothing one person can run, and Zhao Yi obviously couldn’t handle it himself, so he would definitely entrust it to a professional institution.
Zhao Yi doesn’t worry about this.
"Brother Chao! It’s ti for you to step in!" Zhao Yi quickly contacted Xu Chao, deciding to let him handle all matters of the foundation.
He has two unseen helpers.
One is Xu Chao.
Xu Chao is specifically responsible for working. Whether it’s for Yuan Zhongchen’s team or the ’high school quartet’ deciding on entrepreneurship, Xu Chao has been there to assist.
Xu Chao can be called a ’work assistant’.
The other one is Money Rainbow.
Money Rainbow is an unseen ’life assistant’; delivering food, doing laundry, etc. is all taken care of by Money Rainbow.
Xu Chao draws a salary from Zhao Yi and also receives a certain commission from his work; he naturally works with enthusiasm.
As for Money Rainbow...
"I should also give her so salary if not let her move in... ahem."
Zhao Yi carefully pondered for a mont. Realizing these benefits would likely not be accepted by Money Rainbow, he soon rembered about writing a book.
That’s right!
The money is soon to be spent, of course, so must be earned back.
That’s a million dollars!
"I wonder if Particle Boundary Theory can earn back one million..."
"I guess, unlikely!
Zhao’s Screening thod did indeed earn a lot of money, up until now it definitely exceeded four million. But the success of Zhao’s Screening thod lies in the fact that it’s an ’applied book’. Those who purchased the book could learn from it, understand the screening thod used in algorithm design.
Zhao’s Screening thod has beco a must-have book for computer researchers and senior programrs, and has even beco a textbook for so related courses, being recomnded by many universities for students to read.
Particle Boundary Theory, however, is a theoretical physics book; its content is only for research and reading, with little practical use.
"It would be nice to have a tenth of it." Zhao Yi thought helplessly, shaking his head. But even a small inco is inco. He imdiately contacted Money Rainbow, asking about the progress of writing the book.
Being asked made Money Rainbow feel quite depressed. She felt like she had returned to her primary and middle school days, being urged by a teacher to hand in howork, but the howork was too difficult.
