As for Su believing that I can't make decisions independently, it's actually not a big deal. We can discuss everything. I'm not the only one who ca to Xilin this ti; we have colleagues who have already started getting in touch with so local departnts to discuss potential cooperation.
In short, Xiao Li Group is truly coming with sincerity this ti. On the one hand, we are very eager to participate in the construction of the Xilin Smart City and contribute to the future smart city construction of Huaxia. On the other hand, we also hope to learn and accumulate so advanced experience. Actually, many suggestions in the proposal just hope that Xilin Licheng can give us so recomndations then."
Yan Xiaoxu said sincerely.
"Alright, in that case, we won't be involved in the financial business aspects of this plan, as Xilin Licheng is rely a small technical service provider, lacking both experience and capability to make decisions in this area. However, regarding the cooperation on biological supercomputing technology, I can ask the Mathematics Research Institute to see if there's a possibility for collaboration."
Su Lixing, after pondering for a mont, made a small promise.
No other option, Xiao Li Group's proposal offered so much, which would be trendously helpful in the initial promotion of the smart city platform, that Su Lixing felt it necessary to discuss it with Qiao Ze.
"I would be extrely grateful to Su if it's possible. If there's a chance, I hope to invite your family for a al; it would be greatly appreciated."
Yan Xiaoxu imdiately added.
Indeed, the ultimate goal of the other party was still to connect with Qiao Ze, which probably also counts as gaining prestige through family relations...
A researcher in mathematical and physical theory, with such an extent of comrcial influence, probably no one else could have it.
After a long pause, Su Lixing frankly said: "Don't thank just yet; I can't guarantee Qiao Ze will agree to have a al, but I can at least ask. Regarding the biological supercomputing project, I don't know where you got your information. However, this technology is reportedly still in its critical stage and already has a partner.
Yes, Youwei Group has already invested so money into this project; I am not too clear on the specific situation since it's all handled by the Mathematics Research Institute. So if Xiao Li Group wants to get involved in this technology, Yan should be ntally prepared for difficulties."
Yan Xiaoxu nodded seriously and replied: "Thank you, Su, as I said before, this is just a proposal. Whether it can be achieved or how many items can be achieved, there is still ti to talk slowly. Please believe that we highly value this cooperation with your company."
"Haha, okay. Then don't leave today; I'll take care of the arrangents today," said Su Lixing heartily.
"This way, let's disturb you for lunch here. As for dinner, it's alright, there's still much to do. However, Xiao Li Group plans to expand the size of its branch in Xilin, so I will be staying in Xilin during this period, and there will be plenty of opportunities."
"Then we must have a good drink at noon; wait a minute while I have soone make the arrangents."
...
On the tree-lined road outside the Mathematics Research Institute building at Xilin University of Technology, a few young people were gathering and walking toward the building with worried expressions.
There were exactly five of them, naturally, the doctoral students Qiao Ze was ntoring.
To be honest, when these people first received notice of enrolling in Xi Lin Mathematics Institute's doctoral program, thanks to their ntor's advantage, everyone was quite excited. After all, not everyone gets to study under a prospective academician.
Especially since the five of them were the first batch of doctoral students ntored by Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze.
For PhD holders who aspire to make a na in academia, having a prospective academian as a ntor offers benefits that only those who understand will grasp.
Even though three of them had signed specific contracts, requiring them to return to their original institutions for teaching positions upon graduation.
But in the current climate where finding academic employnt is as difficult as it gets, graduating and directly taking a teaching position at a top-level university, with no pressure of publish-or-perish, is already imnsely satisfying. Coupled with Qiao Ze's influence in academia, one can only say that the future looks promising.
However, after the initial excitent period, all five of them fell into deep self-doubt. They're almost obsessed, waking up each day with thoughts along the lines of: "Am I really suited to study mathematics?"
If initially, Qiao Ze's planning for them sowhat overestimated their abilities, causing them quite a headache, that argunt no longer held after Qiao gave them a three-month buffer period and recomnded several foundational textbooks in mathematics.
Honestly, during this period, the five of them have not been slackers.
The books and papers recomnded by Qiao Ze have been thoroughly studied and examined by them recently.
To increase efficiency, although for a long while Qiao Ze did not require them to hold group etings, they still gathered at least twice a week to discuss their learning insights and encourage one another.
However, honestly, after finishing reading the monographs Qiao Ze recomnded over the past three months and understanding them quite well, once they confidently began approaching the content of Qiao's Algebraic Geotry again, it still felt incredibly difficult.
Not to ntion perfecting and innovating on the foundations of Qiao's Algebraic Geotry at this stage, even solving those practice problems was exceedingly challenging.
Whenever involving spiral transformations in algebra, their thoughts started to get twisted.
Especially with higher dinsions in mathematics, which ant introducing various paraters, each controlling different variables...
Everyone now not only admires Professor Qiao for creating such a groundbreaking theoretical frawork but also begins to appreciate the professors, represented by Xu Changshu, who were among the first to join the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute.
After all, achieving those research results within the frawork of Qiao's Algebraic Geotry is sothing not every mathematician can do. Especially Professor Xu, who can simplify complexity, making Taylor's Theorem calculations easier using Qiao's Algebraic Geotry, truly aligns with the saying that top scientists can simplify specific problems using the most complex mathematical thoughts.
Hmm, these professors are simply beyond normal human abilities.
"Wang Yu, do you think this ti when Professor Qiao calls us, it's to scold us?" Xu Yue asked worriedly.
Despite not keeping up with the progress demanded by their ntor, and even though Qiao Ze never harshly criticized them, the pressure on these students remained substantial.
The greatest pressure cos from the fact that their progress is not apparent, while their ntor's strides never stop. Not to ntion, the recently published papers by their ntor in "New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics" and "Mathematics Annual" were enough to make one despair.
Others publish papers in top journals for a lifeti; their ntor publishes in recognized top journals not only monthly but according to his mood.
The saddest part is that, as doctoral students of their ntor, they can't even understand the papers published by their ntor as the corresponding author and first author.
"It's not likely scolding, but definitely disappointnt. Besides, do we still need Professor Qiao to scold us? Yesterday, Professor Zhang already gave a lecture on WeChat." Wang Yu lanted.
The "Professor Zhang" ntioned by Wang Yu was, of course, his previous advisor during his master's stage at Jiang University, Zhang Chunlei. Although generally speaking, doctoral students who have moved to another university and advisor don't have to worry too much about their forr advisors, his situation is sowhat different.
Originally, he intended to pursue his PhD directly under Professor Zhang, but ended up at Xilin University of Technology due to special circumstances. It was thanks to the relationship between Zhang Chunlei and Li Jiangao that he was able to study under Qiao Ze. Most importantly, after obtaining a doctoral degree from Xilin University of Technology, his contract specified that he had to return to Jiang University.
Given Professor Zhang's developnt, it's likely that by the ti he graduates, he will have progressed further and will be pivotal to determining his future when he returns to Jiang University.
"Oh well, who doesn't feel the sa... you guys, why is math so difficult?" The youngest of them, Fan Yuming also sighed.
The first batch of doctoral students under Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao were overly special, with forr advisors showing more concern for their learning progress than their current advisor.
If the pressure from Professor Qiao was intangible, the pressure from their forr advisors was the tangible type of tough love. For these originally proud students, it was indeed quite uncomfortable.
"Actually, we're sowhat lucky; compared to that interlace complexity, Qiao's Algebraic Geotry seems simpler, at least those theorems can be understood. The theorems in interlace complexity feel like hieroglyphs to ." The most mature, Han Zhendong, added from the side.
Indeed, this statent is quite fair.
Yet it also left the few unfortunate youngsters disinterested in continuing the conversation until they quietly reached the elevator before the building.
"Yo, you all look like wilted eggplants!"
