The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 124 Google's $50 Hire

Although the report was over, many scholars still went on stage to have more exchanges with Xiao Yi, especially those scholars who did not ask questions just now.

Xiao Yi also stayed on the stage patiently, standing in front of a small blackboard, accepting all the scholars who came to the stage to communicate and answering their questions one by one.

Gradually, more and more scholars gathered in front of the small blackboard.

The report is over, but the discussion is not.

These scholars range in age from young to old, including doctoral students in their twenties, associate professors in their thirties, and full professors in their fifties and sixties.

They gathered in front of the small blackboard, standing quietly beside it, watching the 17-year-old boy in the middle telling them about his story, their faces showing a thirst for knowledge, or perhaps a willingness to ask for advice.

There were also many reporters at the scene, and one of them suddenly found the scene in front of him quite interesting. He then found the best angle and took a picture of the scene.

In the picture, the boy points a finger at a line of formulas on the blackboard, while explaining the meaning of the formulas to the mathematics scholars of different ages present. The scholars have expressions of serious thinking on their faces, or record what the boy writes and says in the notebooks in their hands.

Looking at this photo, the reporter was silent for a long time, and suddenly wondered if he had a chance to win a Pulitzer Prize?

……

Finally, as time was getting late, the scholars who wanted to ask questions had finished asking their questions.

No one came forward to ask questions anymore.

Xiao Yi stretched and finally got everything done.

He estimated that he might have answered fifty or sixty questions today.

Looking at the time, the report was originally scheduled to end at 8:15, but it actually lasted until 8:9, and now it is almost :.

It really took a long time.

"But, it can be considered a lot of gains."

He smiled slightly and then prepared to leave.

But at this moment, he saw three people walking towards him.

He thought they were here to ask questions again, but when he looked, he saw that the professor who had asked him the first question was also among them.

I think it was Silvio Micali from MIT?

"Professor Micali." He greeted and said with a smile, "Do you have any other questions?"

"Haha, that's not a problem." Mikali smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I just plan to leave you my email address so that we can continue to communicate in the future."

"Maybe one day I'll run into a math problem and ask you for help. Of course, if you have any computer-related questions, you can always ask me. I think I can still provide you with some answers."

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up and he readily accepted it: "I think so too."

Maybe when he encounters problems when building the blockchain, he can ask Professor Micali.

So he found a piece of paper, wrote his email address on it, and gave it to Micali, who also left his email address.

But at this moment, Brian Winston, who was standing next to him, suddenly smiled and said to him: "Mr. Xiao, you should know that Professor Micali is also a Turing Award winner, right?"

Xiao Yi, who had just exchanged email addresses with Mikali, was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the professor in front of him in surprise: "Professor Mikali..."

Micali glared at Winston helplessly at first, then said to Xiao Yi with a smile: "It's just a Turing Award, it's no big deal. These are the results that were made decades ago, and we just got it a few years ago."

"What's more, with your great contribution to RSA encryption, you might be able to win the award after waiting in line for decades."

Turing Award winners are generally older, basically because they have to wait in line.

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes immediately, what a [Turing Award].

This person is even more Versailles than him.

"Also, the person who is speaking, Brian Winston, is the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank. He was the one who fell in love with the agreement you came up with before. I heard that you have a bonus of 10 million US dollars this time. Well... to be honest, I think it's a bit too little." Micali said.

Xiao Yi was stunned.

I go!

So the person in front of us is their financial sponsor?

He immediately stood up in awe, stretched out his hand to Winston, and said, "Hello, Mr. Winston."

Brian Winston laughed, shook hands with Xiao Yi, and said, "It's indeed too little. Ten million dollars in exchange for such a perfect agreement is really far from enough. If I had come up with it, it would have been impossible without thirty million."

Xiao Yi was open-minded and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. It would be best if Mr. Winston could transfer the money to our account as soon as possible."

Winston patted his head and said, "Okay, this request can still be fulfilled. I will make a call now and try to deposit the money into your account within three days."

Anyway, not all of the 1000 million US dollars belongs to the World Bank, so it’s not too painful for them.

He took out his cell phone and said, "But to be honest, if you want to make money, you might as well listen to what this person has to say."

He patted Prabhakar Raghavan next to him, then walked aside and made a phone call.

Xiao Yi was stunned and turned to look at the last person.

Could it be another person coming to give money?
Prabhakar Raghavan smiled and said, "Well, it seems it's my turn now. Although I don't have much hope, I'd still like to introduce myself to you first." As he said that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

It looks like another big shot, handing out business cards.

He took the business card and looked down.

He was immediately shocked.

Google's senior vice president of knowledge and information?

He is of course well aware of Google's reputation in the computer field, not to mention its influence on the world.

Well... although this company failed in their country of China.

However, at least the Android system they developed is everywhere in China.

What I didn’t expect was that... this plain-looking old man in front of me is actually one of Google’s most powerful executives.

"Well, it seems that my trip here is worth it to see a genius like you being shocked." Raghavan said with a smile.

"Of course, let me explain my original intention. I wonder if you have any thoughts about joining Google?"

Finally he extended the invitation.

Xiao Yi was stunned, what?
Ask him if he wants to work at Google?
"As long as you are willing and sign the agreement, all the expenses you need for your future growth will be fully covered by Google, such as your undergraduate or graduate studies, as well as the cost of visiting and studying after graduation."

"At the same time, whether you are in college or not, you are guaranteed a base salary of $50. No matter what results you produce, even if they are purely mathematical and have no application value, we can provide you with a certain amount of bonus. Of course, if it is helpful to the company's profitability, the bonus will be even higher."

"In addition, if you are willing to accept immigration, no matter to which country, we can provide you with a channel. Of course, after you sign the agreement, we will immediately apply for a US green card for you."

"besides……"

Raghavan gave a series of benefits, saying that even while in school one could get an annual salary of $50, and it might even be a basic salary. I'm afraid that many people would be happy to do it.

As for the other favorable conditions, there is naturally no need to say more.

Mikali, who was standing next to him, and Winston, who had just returned from a phone call, were both shocked when they heard this.

This guy... It seemed like he didn't have much interest in inviting Xiao Yi before, but now he's really spending a lot of money to invite him, right?

"The above is what I can offer you within my authority. After all, I am just a senior vice president. I think if you agree, our CEO Mr. Sundar Pichai will definitely be willing to provide better conditions if he knows about it."

"And all this depends on whether you are willing or not?"

Raghavan looked at Xiao Yi and asked finally.

However, facing such an invitation, Xiao Yi did not show any excitement. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "What if my research can never generate profits for the company? What if I have been studying pure mathematics all the time?"

"This..." Raghavan thought for a moment and finally said, "This may be hard to say. To be honest, you may end up being fired."

After all, their company has always been based on profit. If they spend so much money to hire an employee who can produce many heavyweight results but is completely unable to create actual value, probably any company will fire the employee.

This is also why most of the top scholars work in universities and research institutes rather than in companies. At most, they occasionally cooperate with companies, and the cooperative projects are all technologies that can help companies make profits.

So Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "It seems that I can only refuse."

"Because I am indeed more interested in pure mathematics."

Raghavan looked at Xiao Yi and was silent for a moment.

Finally, in the face of Xiao Yi's puzzled eyes, he suddenly smiled, turned to look at Winston and Mikali beside him, and said, "Give me money, give me money!"

Winston and Mikali both showed helpless expressions and then took out a Franklin from their pockets.

Raghavan took the money from them with a smile, and said, "I've said it before, a genius like Xiao Yi would definitely prefer to focus on the field of pure mathematics."

"We at Google are very experienced with this kind of thing."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Yi curled the corner of his mouth. Did they make a bet on this matter?

And Raghavan took out another Franklin, put it in Xiao Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation, I'll give you half!"

Then he carefully put the other Franklin into his pocket.

"Although I didn't get a genius——"

“But I won a Turing Award and became the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank, which is not bad!”

"Not to mention, I just gave this genius a surprise."

“It’s worth it!”

Xiao Yi showed a helpless expression.

You are a super rich man with an annual salary of over tens of millions of dollars, so what?
