The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 126 Cole Award Ceremony, $600 million received
"The first award given out is the Cole Algebra Award!"

As Hales Carr finished his words, everyone in the audience shifted their attention to a seat in the front row.

And the person sitting in that position was Xiao Yi.

Hales Carr also smiled and glanced at Xiao Yi, then continued: "The origin of algebra can be traced back to the ancient Babylonian era. The ancient sages at that time had accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in arithmetic. Therefore, in order to create a more complete arithmetic system, algebra came into being."

"Through the use of algebraic systems, our ancestors were able to formulate equations with unknown variables and solve them. Today, these problems are solved using the simplest linear equations, quadratic equations, indeterminate linear equations, and so on."

"Fortunately, we have never lacked geniuses in mathematics. Whenever such geniuses appear, our mathematical progress can achieve rapid development."

"So, with the birth of a genius, Galois used his wisdom to lay the foundation for modern algebra for us. Starting from his Galois theory, algebra has become the most important method in mathematics, and it continues to branch out and form various branches such as algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and algebraic number theory."

“The new talents continue to shine and flourish until today.”

"Now, a new method has emerged in our mathematics community, which has once again played an extremely important role in the study of mathematics."

"That's the automorphic theory of Etale algebraic varieties."

"It is located in the position of algebra, inherits geometry, and is connected to number theory. In just a few months, it has created many achievements in our mathematics field."

"It includes proofs of the Elliot-Halberstam conjecture and the twin prime conjecture, as well as the newly born Shaw polynomial expansion."

"To be honest, I haven't seen a new theory that has produced so many results since its birth in many years. The last time was perhaps ten years ago, when Peter Schultz proposed the quasi-complete space."

"So, based on such an important achievement, I think that this year's Cole Prize in Algebra, awarded to the proposer of the theory of automorphism of Etale algebraic varieties, is well deserved."

"Then let us invite Mr. Xiao Yi to come up on stage to receive the award!"

"Clap clap~"

The audience began to applaud.

In the first row, as Xiao Yi stood up, everyone's eyes were focused on him again.

Shake hands with other people sitting next to you.

Tao smiled and said, "Congratulations."

There was also James Maynard, including several acquaintances who flew in from Princeton, Bombieri Enrico, Pierre Deligne and others.

Finally, Xiao Yi walked onto the stage and stood in front of Hales Carl.

"Congratulations, young man."

After shaking hands with Xiao Yi, Hales Carl said with a smile, and then he handed the certificate in his other hand to Xiao Yi.

The prize for the Cole Algebra Prize is a certificate and a $5000 cash prize.

There aren't any medals or anything like that.

"This should be your first time to win an award in mathematics. Although the Cole Algebra Prize is not as good as many other awards, I believe it is a very good start for you. I hope you can make more achievements in the future."

Hales Carr said with a smile: "I believe that when we meet next time, you will have created more surprising mathematical theories."

After hearing what Hales Carr said, Xiao Yi's expression was a little strange, as if... he had also heard Sanak say this at the final award ceremony of the Princeton Mathematics Annual Conference.

Well……

Okay, that's not much different.

After all, the award received at the Princeton conference was only a best speaker award, which could not be considered a mathematics award.

The Cole Algebra Medal can be considered a true award in the field of mathematics.

"Thank you, Professor. I think I will."

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded and said.

"Ah."

Hales Carr nodded, and then joined the audience in applauding Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi held the certificate in his hand, bowed slightly to the audience, and then walked off the stage gracefully.

There will be other awards later, but they basically have nothing to do with Xiao Yi.

With all the awards given out, Hales Carr gave his final speech, marking the end of the Joint Mathematics Conference.

……

the next day.

In the hotel room where Xiao Yi was staying.

"Well, it's finally over. Next we'll go to Santa Barbara. We'll stay there for about half a month, and then we can go home for the New Year."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh, time passed so quickly.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang with a text message alert.

Bring it over and take a look.

[Your bank card number ending in 9900 transferred USD 5000.00 in foreign exchange. The current foreign exchange balance is USD 15982.22. If you need to convert the foreign exchange amount into RMB, please log in to the APP to check (ICBC). ]

When Xiao Yi saw this text message, his eyebrows raised.

Oh?
I didn't expect that the American Mathematical Society would act so quickly and transfer the money so quickly.

This is indeed the advantage of AMS, it has money!

This $5000 is the prize money for the Cole Algebra Prize, except...

"Although the money was transferred quite quickly, it was still less than the bonus offered by Princeton."

Xiao Yi shook his head. The number "1" above the fifth digit of his balance came from the $1 bonus he received at Princeton.

But there is no way around it. The prize money in the field of mathematics is generally not very high. The Fields Medal is only 1 Canadian dollars.

Compared to the 10 million Swedish kronor of the Nobel Prize, it is really far behind. Well, for mathematicians, it is normal to be poor.

I took a screenshot, then took a photo of the Cole Algebra Award certificate next to it, then opened QQ and posted it to my space.

Caption: [Get√ for the Cole Algebra Prize, but it’s only $5000, but it’s OK. ]

After sending it out, he soon received messages from his friends.

The first person to reply was Song Ziyang again.

"Isn't this guy going to give me any special attention?"

Xiao Yi curled the corners of his mouth. It was the same as last time. This guy replied within 10 seconds of me posting a message.

It's similar this time.

Click in and take a look.

Song Ziyang: [Yi! Why did you do this? #Bloody, I'm blinded by the light! ]

Xiao Yi replied: [Don’t compare here, I’ll treat you to a meal when school starts next year. ]

Song Ziyang: [Fuck, is that true, brother?]

Xiao Yi: [Eat whatever you want. ]

Well... speaking of food, he missed the taste of his hometown very much.

It has been almost a month since I came out, and I haven’t eaten authentic hometown food for a long time.

Chinese food in the United States has a "Western flavor".

Song Ziyang replied again at this time: [Godfather, please accept @叶承@罗乔’s greetings! ]

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.

At first I called him "Yi ah", then it became "brother", and now it becomes "godfather", right?

At this time, more and more people saw the post he posted, and more people liked and replied to it.

For example, Ye Cheng and Luo Qiao also appeared under Song Ziyang's tag.

Ye Cheng: [@Song Ziyang, get out! You are an unfaithful and unfilial person, you don't know how to learn from me! Godfather, please accept my greeting! When the time comes, I want to eat the fish meal at the Mixc! The one that costs 398 yuan per person! ]

Luo Qiao: [@Song Ziyang, you are the only one who dares to call our godfather by his name, right? You are so bold! I will suffer for this for the rest of my life! Godfather, let's just eat what Cheng'er said! ]

Looking at their replies, Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily: [What a success! You guys are tempted by a small self-service buffet, and you just let me choose! ]

Song Ziyang, Ye Cheng, Luo Qiao: [Godfather!!]

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction. He was quite sensible.

Then he looked at the other replies, there were all kinds of people, old classmates, relatives, friends, etc.

[Oh my god, what a joke! ]

[This is probably the most powerful boss in my space, right? I pay my respects to God Xiao]

[Xiao Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time since I graduated from junior high school. I miss you #shy, can we meet during the Chinese New Year #flirting]

【…】

"Oh my god, who is this?"

When Xiao Yi saw one of the comments, he was stunned.

When he took a last look at the name, he managed to remember it and it seemed to be a female classmate from junior high school.

Suddenly he had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

Fortunately, his space was opened in Moments mode, otherwise if Ye Cheng and the others saw it, they would probably turn the tables on him.

He ignored it. After all, women would only affect the speed of his thinking!

Suddenly, at this moment, the phone rang again and another text message came.

[Your bank card number ending in 9900 has transferred USD 6000000.00 in foreign exchange. The current foreign exchange balance is USD 6015982.22. If you need to convert the foreign exchange amount into RMB, please log in to the APP to check. If you need to invest, please contact Manager X (138**) (ICBC)]

"what?"

When Xiao Yi saw this text message, his eyes suddenly widened.

Although he could tell at a glance that the number 6 was followed by 6 zeros, he still couldn't help but count them one by one.

Finally it was confirmed that it was 600 million!
Still $600 million!

"Oh my god, I'm rich, I'm rich..."

He immediately started mumbling.

No matter how much he didn't value money, seeing so much money in front of him still gave him a great shock.

Converted into RMB, that's about the same...

Nearly 4000 million!
"Damn, this would cost me several houses in Fei City!"
Even in Beijing or Shanghai, you should be able to buy a large flat, right?

Ok……

It may still be far from the legendary Tomson First Class.

After being shocked for a while, he finally came to his senses.

Obviously, this money came from the World Bank project, with a total bonus of 1000 million US dollars, and as the main contributor, he received 600 million.

Who says you can’t make money from studying? !
