After chatting with that girl Xu Xiao for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone.

He never interfered with his sister's choices. At most, he gave his own thoughts and suggestions.

If this girl can find a path in chemistry or biology, that would be great too.

Mathematics, physics, or chemistry and biology are all sciences, and there is no distinction between them.

Just waiting for him to go back, Old Tang will definitely complain to him, right?

Xu Chuan suddenly thought of Teacher Tang from Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School and couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of talent, Xu Xiao definitely has talent in physics, otherwise Old Tang would not have planned to focus on cultivating it before.

But I didn't expect that this girl would also change her mind on her deathbed and run off to do other things.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone on the table vibrated again.

This time it was Chen Zhengping, the instructor of NTU, who called me.

"Hey, Xu Chuan, are you up?" Chen Zhengping's questioning voice came from the phone.

Glancing at the sun that had already risen outside the window, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I'm already up."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping smiled and joked: "You are too self-disciplined in your life. You have proved the seven millennium problems and you haven't even held two parties?"

"If this were done to anyone else, the flowing water table would have to be open for three days and three nights."

Xu Chuan was a little embarrassed and said: "How can it be so exaggerated?"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Chen Zhengping smiled and shook his head and said, "When will you come back? The school will hold a graduation ceremony for you."

After a pause, he continued: "I can't let you go after you have graduated from Princeton."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly. He almost forgot that he had not officially graduated from Nanjing University yet.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "At the end of the year, I'll probably go back here around the New Year."

Chen Zhengping frowned slightly and said, "It's too late for you to come back. School was on holiday at that time."

Xu Chuan said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I don't care about this."

Chen Zhengping held his forehead and said helplessly: "You are not particular, but the school is. And if you come back so late, how can you give a speech to other students?"

"Uh." Xu Chuan was stunned again and said, "There's no need to give a speech or something."

"Why is it not necessary? This is Hodge's conjecture, the seven millennium problems. It is no exaggeration to say that you are now the number one person in the field of mathematics in the country. If you invite the number one person in the field of mathematics to give a speech, other schools can invite them.

No, I won’t be so lucky.”

After a pause, Chen Zhengping continued: "In addition, if you solve Hodge's conjecture, there will be rewards from the school and the city, at least several million. Come back early to claim the prize."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little dumbfounded. He shook his head and said, "Okay, then I'll go back early."

In order for him to go back and give lectures, the school began to lure him with bonuses.

But this time it proves Hodge's conjecture, and the reward will definitely be huge.

Not to mention other things, the Clay Mathematics Institute alone has a prize of one million meters in gold.

As for domestic rewards, whether it is Nanda, Jinling City, Jiangsu Province, the country, or even southern Hunan, the level of rewards is at least several million, and it is not impossible to even break eight figures.

This is the Hodge conjecture, the seven millennium problems.

Of course, what is more important is to solve the impact and status brought by this conjecture.

Although the Fields Medal is not as prestigious as the Nobel Prize, no university or scientific research institution in the world will refuse a Fields Medal winner to join, whether at home or abroad.

At home, this influence is even greater.

The first Chinese Fields Medal has greater influence and significance than ordinary awards.

If Xu Chuan wasn't too young, he might even have the idea to expand his influence and popularity.

Of course, it is not the feudal and superstitious kind, but to try our best to expand his popularity and build him into a figure similar to an academic model.

For a country, the emergence of a world-leading scholar in any field can greatly enhance the self-confidence of the country and the people, and can also drive the development of the entire discipline in the corresponding field. It can even be extended to other fields.

.

And for me, there is currently a great need for such a person in the fields of basic science and natural science.

Those who returned to China before were once promoted to the altar, but due to various constraints, they finally gave up.

Now that a more suitable candidate has appeared, how can we not make people's hearts flutter.

...

At the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Xu Chuan called for housekeeping to clean up his villa.

The villa was one of the perks offered by Princeton after he was named a tenured fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Other benefits include salary, and there are two.

One is a full professor from Princeton University, with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan.

The other is a tenured researcher from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, with an annual salary of 400,000 meters.

The total of the two salaries is 1 million gold. When converted, his annual salary is almost 7.5 million.

This is just salary, and there are various other benefits.

Such as scientific research project funds, house purchase subsidies, performance subsidies, subsidies, project commissions and other subsidies.

Relatively speaking, this salary package is amazing.

Even though he proved Hodge's conjecture, he actually didn't have many honors. The two top ones in the mathematics world are the Craford Mathematics Prize and the other is the Morning Star Mathematics Prize.

Even if he can steadily win the Philippine Award next year, there is still a good comparison standard for the Philippine Award.

For example, after Terence Tao won the Fields Medal in 2006, the salary offered by the University of California to keep him was only an annual salary of 800,000 yuan.

The annual salary of 800,000 yuan does not sound like much for a Philippine Award winner.

But this number is actually pretty good. After all, this is reality. It’s not that a certain person’s per capita monthly income exceeds 10,000, nor is it a certain person’s per capita annual income of one million.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, in China, only about 0.5% of people earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Based on a population of 1.4 billion, the number of people is only 7 million.

Seven million versus 1.4 billion.

This proportion is actually quite small.

The average monthly income per person on the Internet is over 10,000 yuan, and the annual income is one million, which is just the amplification effect of the Internet. You can now find many things on the Internet that you could not see or understand at all before.

Coupled with services such as big data calculations, people and netizens who know how to surf the Internet will have an illusion.

We have to admit that the Internet has a subtle influence on a person. Some extravagant and wasteful social chaos on the Internet in order to attract attention will give some people who have difficulty distinguishing right from wrong a wrong concept of consumption.

In fact, in China, an ordinary university professor's annual salary is about two to three hundred thousand, and this is still a 211 or 985 level professor.

If you don't go out of your way to make money out of conscience, your income won't actually be high.

Of course, the courses taught by university professors are fixed every week, and you have a lot of spare time. You can do your own things, or earn extra money based on your ability. Naturally, you don't just rely on your salary to live.

But this still cannot avoid the fact that the wages of domestic scientific research staff are relatively low.

If this were not the case, there would not be so many scientists, professors and other top talents in various fields going abroad to develop or immigrate every year.

In the field of science, relatively speaking, domestic treatment is indeed weak. This is an undisputed fact.

Although there are some compensations in terms of reputation, honor, resources, etc., these things are of little significance if the most basic basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation cannot be solved.

After all, people always yearn for a better life.

In modern society, money is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible without money.

...

After the housekeeping aunt cleared out the villa, Xu Chuan started moving.

Compared to living in a dormitory of about 20 square meters, he would rather live in a villa.

Especially when he chose this villa himself and lived in it for more than ten years in his previous life.

Although he estimates that he may not be able to live there much longer and will live until next year's International Mathematics Conference, it would be good to experience it again.

Moving alone is a very hard and troublesome thing. Even if he is a grown man and does not have as many clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and other miscellaneous things as girls, he has lived here in Princeton for nearly two years.

, I still accumulated a lot of things.

Especially the amount of various books, materials and manuscripts was astonishing, so he called his senior brother Lin Feng, who also worked at Princeton, to come over and help.

It took the two of them a whole day to move various things from the dormitory to the villa.

And Senior Brother Lin Feng, who was called over by him to help, was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

After taking out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and throwing one to Lin Feng, Xu Chuan also sat on the sofa. The remote control in his hand turned on the TV on the wall, making some noise in the room.

"It's really enviable."

After unscrewing the drink and filling half of the bottle, Lin Feng let out a long sigh, turned to look at the empty living room and sighed.

Xu Chuan didn't understand what Senior Brother Lin said for a while, and asked casually: "What are you envious of?"
