The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 222: Unexpected Situation
February 5, 1983, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, is a good day, not only because of the blue sky and white clouds, but also because today is indeed a good day for getting married.

At the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology, there is a Qingyunlou restaurant from Beijing that has opened a branch here.

This is a gourmet restaurant that opened a branch in Bingcheng a few years ago, following Quanjude and others.

In the past, Qingyunlou was one of the eight great restaurants in Beijing. It was a well-known name and a favorite of many gourmets.

But in the past thirty years, Qingyun Tower has also declined.

Now that reform and opening up have taken place, it is time for Qingyun Tower to be revived.

As a famous signature restaurant in Beijing, Qingyunlou has many signature dishes, especially today, they are hosting a wedding banquet. The scale is not very high, but the guests coming are very important.

Nearing noon, the guests had already arrived at Qingyun Tower, ready to taste today's meal.

Wang Duoyu hasn't set off yet, so he's not in a hurry.

Liu Xiaoli was still sulking, she was sulking with herself.

A few days ago, she excitedly called Wang Duoyu and said that she was having morning sickness and was probably pregnant.

As a result, Wang Duoyu asked her to go see a doctor to take her pulse first, so as not to be too happy for nothing. Then he said that he was a jinx, and he was right.

Yes, Liu Xiaoli was not pregnant at all. She just happened to catch a cold that day and felt unwell. It was not morning sickness.

Because of this incident, Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she didn't eat much for the past two days and lost two or three pounds.

Because she was angry, Wang Duoyu had no choice but to wait for her.

The little guy Wang Junhong was carefree and still grinned happily while playing with some toys that his aunts had brought back from the United States.

Wang Duoyu watched the children playing, turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoli who was still sulking, and couldn't help but stand up, hugged her and persuaded her with a few words.

After coaxing her into happiness, the two of them got up and went out together, carrying the little one.

Today is the wedding day of his two younger sisters. There is no ceremony. Everyone just gets together for a meal as a token of their appreciation.

In ancient times, there were things like three letters and six betrothal gifts, and a ten-mile red wedding. In later generations, there were all kinds of grand banquets and Chinese-style weddings.

But in this era, most people actually advocate frugality when getting married, and having three turns and one ring is considered the most awesome thing.

Many people even have a meal with their closest family members, and then throw out the wedding candies, and the wedding is complete.

Wang Duoyu didn't have many demands on his two brothers-in-law, Li Yuanchao and Lu Qingsong. It was enough for them to be nice to his two sisters.

In Qingyun Tower, guests came in one after another, including Lu Gongliang, Han Jue, Wu Congxin, Liu Taoshun and others.

If it weren't for Wang Duoyu, Principal Lu and the others would definitely not have come.

Liu Deben went to the capital and was unable to attend, but he asked Lu Gongliang to help him send a gift.

"Uncle Nine!"

As soon as he walked in, Wang Duoyu was stopped by the girl in front of him. She was Wang Shuting, the daughter of his sixth brother.

She took the college entrance examination in July last year and failed to be admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology. She was admitted to Harbin Normal University, but she did not go and insisted on repeating a year.

Because of this incident, Wang Duoyu's sixth brother and his wife were very worried. This matter caused a lot of trouble. It would be enough to go to university, why did he have to apply to Harbin Institute of Technology?
"Well, how's your review been lately?"

Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded, but she wanted to hug Wang Junhong.

But the little guy didn't want her to hold him and tried to hug his father tightly.

After chatting with my niece for a while, other relatives came forward.

As Wang Duoyu appeared, everyone came over.

Most of the villagers in Dahonggou Village came. Want Want Group sent five vehicles to pick them up. They arrived yesterday afternoon. In the evening, Wang Duoyu was supposed to have dinner with them, but he didn't because Charles Fefferman and others kept pestering him.

A few days ago, Shing-Tung Yau and his colleagues came to him to ask about the paper on the geometric Langlands conjecture. Two hours later, Wang Duoyu gave them the first paper.

After giving it to them, within two days, all eight of them, including John Milnor, came to him.

Some even hoped that he could conduct the monthly math sharing in advance, but Wang Duoyu refused.

That day, he talked with Shing-Tung Yau and others about the construction of functors, because this required constructing the geometric Langlands functor LG from the automorphic to the spectral direction in an environment with zero characteristics, and proving their equivalence.

This is the main content of the first paper. The entire proof process cannot be said to be very complete, but it is also very detailed.

It's a paper of more than a hundred pages.

If it were any other paper, it would definitely be more difficult for Shing-Tung Yau and others to review it.

It’s just the geometric Langlands conjecture paper, and they have been studying and derivation, so it is naturally relatively easy to understand some of the concepts and mathematical tools proposed by Wang Duoyu.

But even so, they only read the paper for two days, so it would definitely take some time to talk to him again.

When they started chatting, Wang Duoyu was helpless and was delayed by them. He even had dinner in the office.

It was also because of this that Wang Duoyu did not meet with his eldest brother, third brother and others last night.

At this time, all the family members gathered around him, so he really had no time to greet them and could only face them with a smile.

After a long while, his third brother came and drove everyone away, and he was finally free.

"Are the partners of Lao Jiu, Lao Eleven, and Lao Twelve reliable?"

Wang Duoyu was brought by his third brother to sit next to his eldest brother, and then he heard his eldest brother asking.

"Don't worry, big brother. Li Yuanchao is from the military and is a very honest person. He has served in the army for many years. Although his rank is not high, he is very capable."

Hearing his elder brother's words, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but smile and said:

"Lu Qingsong is a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department of our school. He has a high salary, strong abilities, and is very kind to Old Twelve. His character is also well-known to all. You can rest assured."

There was another sentence that Wang Duoyu did not say.

In Harbin Institute of Technology, or in Ice City, it is already very good as long as you can establish a relationship with Wang Duoyu.

As long as Lu Qingsong and Li Yuanchao are not stupid, and as long as Wang Meihe and Wang Meili do not act up, they will definitely not treat the two sisters badly.

Besides, after getting married, they will each form a new family and become a family. How they live their lives is their own business, and Wang Duoyu will not worry about it so much.

On the other hand, they are all in Bingcheng, especially Wang Meili and Lu Qingsong, they must be together all the time and see each other every day.

Hearing Wang Duoyu say this, Wang Shoucheng and others couldn't help but nod.

Next, they asked a lot of questions about Lu Qingsong and the other person, as well as about Lao Wang’s relatives working in Want Want Group.

After chatting for a while, the wedding banquet officially began.

The two couples will go through some simple ceremonies hosted by the host and then start eating.

Qingyunlou is the earliest high-end Shandong cuisine restaurant in Beijing. It was built in 1820 and is located in Yandaixie Street. It has been more than a hundred years now.

When building a branch in Bingcheng, Qingyunlou has not lost their characteristics, and the dishes remain the same as before.

Their most distinctive signature dishes include roast duck with five flavors and three ways of cooking, sea cucumber with scallions, fish fillet with vinegar, crispy chicken, large intestine with nine turns, chicken fillet with lotus leaves, etc.

Little Wang Junhong, who was held in Liu Xiaoli's arms, couldn't help himself when he saw the dishes being served.

Because this caviar roast duck is really fragrant and delicious.

Wang Duoyu did not sit at the same table with Liu Xiaoli and the others, but sat at the same table with Lu Gongliang and the others.

"Professor Wang, I heard that it was you who suggested that restaurants like Qingyunlou open branches here, right?"

While eating, Jin Lirong suddenly spoke with a smile.

Many people know this gossip because Smale has talked about it in public more than once.

This guy has a special liking for roast duck. Whether it is the caviar roast duck from Qingyunlou, or the roast duck from other stores such as Bianyifang and Quanjude, Smell likes it very much.

Facts have proved that Wang Duoyu's original suggestion was very correct.

The reason why people like Charles Fefferman were willing to stay was largely due to these delicious foods.

In the United States, although it is much better than the food desert Great Britain, in fact, the food in the United States is also mediocre.

Even Shing-Tung Yau, who grew up in Hong Kong Island, praised the delicious food both inside and outside the HIT campus.

Whether it is the cafeteria inside or outside the HIT campus, it is truly a food paradise.

There are six or seven Cantonese restaurants from Guangzhou near the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology on this street. Sichuan, Hunan, Quanjude, Shandong cuisine restaurants can also be found.

There are also various dumpling restaurants, noodle shops, Lanzhou ramen, etc., which can be seen.

It can be said that it brings together delicacies from all over the country.

If you count carefully, there are already more than a dozen or twenty companies surrounding Harbin Institute of Technology.

Want Want Group, which was established just about a year ago, already has five workshops in its Youma Garment Factory, and the number of workers has long exceeded 1,000.

But the average monthly salary of these workers is more than 100 yuan.

With a high salary, people are naturally willing to spend.

Before the country launched a large-scale monetary easing to drive up inflation and wages, the first department of Harbin Institute of Technology had already taken the lead in raising wages, so consumption increased and a positive economic cycle began.

"Well, this story all started when we ate roast duck in Beijing."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Today is his sister's wedding, and everyone tried not to talk about work, but just talked about happy things.

For most people, no one can refuse delicious food.

While Wang Duoyu, Lu Gongliang and others were eating and chatting happily, Zhu Ling was also eating on the other side, but her eyes kept looking at Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli.

The latter did not sit at the same table with Zhu Ling, but was sitting next to her, very close.

Zhu Ling happened to see Liu Xiaoli in her sight, but not from the front, but from the side.

So Zhu Ling was able to see Liu Xiaoli feeding her son, and her gentle look did not seem to be fake.

After all, the little guy is very sensitive to these things. If Liu Xiaoli treats the little guy badly in the slightest, it will definitely make the little kid uncomfortable.

However, the little guy is very dependent on Liu Xiaoli. That is the kind of true love a son has for his mother, which cannot be faked.

Therefore, Zhu Ling's heart is very complicated at this moment.

I have to say that Liu Xiaoli was able to do this and raise her son as her own. If you put yourself in her shoes, Zhu Ling may not be able to do it.

After all, she couldn't even do the same thing to her own son as Liu Xiaoli did, let alone other women's children?

Of course, Zhu Ling also thought about a darker point: that is, Liu Xiaoli was acting.

But Liu Xiaoli started in April or May, and more than half a year has passed now. No one would be willing to act for such a long time.

And after such a long time, how could Wang Duoyu not have discovered it?
So there is only one truth, that is, Liu Xiaoli really treats this little guy Wang Junhong as her own son.

Because of this, Zhu Ling was confused. She didn't know whether it was right for her to come to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Originally, she came to Harbin Institute of Technology because she really wanted to see her son. If she could remarry and return to the situation before the divorce, that would naturally be the best.

Because her parents would still nag her from time to time, whether on the set or at home in Courtyard No. 6, Xila Hutong, she could always hear some gossip.

These gossips almost drove her crazy.

She is not a god, it is impossible for her to live in a place where no one is around.

In order to avoid being nagged by her parents, Zhu Ling thought about remarrying, but was rejected by Wang Duoyu, and was even scolded by Wang Duoyu for it.

In fact, when Wang Duoyu scolded her that day, he was already giving her face by not scolding her so thoroughly.

At least, Wang Duoyu did not tell anyone about Zhu Ling's abortion.

That was their second child, but Zhu Ling aborted it so abruptly.

Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, let alone humans?
But in fact, human hearts are cruel, which is an indisputable fact. As the old saying goes, women’s hearts are the most vicious.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The two sisters Wang Meihe and Wang Meili did not move out completely. They would still go back to their ninth brother's house for dinner every other day, and then go back to their own homes.

Running around so frequently really made Li Yuanchao suffer.

Lu Qingsong was fine, because his family lived on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, so it was really easy for Wang Meili to go back to her ninth brother's house.

On the other hand, it is much more difficult for Wang Meihe.

The two sisters come back often, definitely not to get free meals, but because their ninth brother asked them to do so because he needed to test their learning progress.

Wang Duoyu has come to terms with the fact that the twelfth child is not calm enough, and will just let her sister take care of him from now on.

If it really doesn't work, Wang Duoyu will ask his eighth sister to go along, but he still doesn't believe it. Can't the eighth sister and the eleventh sister control the twelfth sister together?

As long as the two sisters keep an eye on Wang Meili and let Lu Qingsong keep an eye on her as well, this will not be a problem.

In order to lay the groundwork for the Plaza Accord in 1985 and get a bigger piece of the pie, Wang Duoyu tried his best.

Fortunately, everything is now going according to his plan and has not deviated much from the track.

Just two days after the wedding of Wang Meili and her sister, on February 8th, Wang Duoyu was in Laboratory Building No. 6 and had just finished a meeting with Song Xinwen, Pang Dianchen and others when Liu Deben called.

"Duoyu, where are you now? I have something to talk to you about."

"I'm in Laboratory Building No. 6"

"Okay, I'll come find you right away."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Deben had already hung up the phone. His hurried manner surprised Wang Duoyu.

Soon, Liu Deben appeared in front of him.

As soon as they met, Liu Deben immediately talked about Motorola's listing. Wang Duoyu didn't take it seriously at first, but when he learned that Motorola had actually lowered its prices, he couldn't help but look surprised.

Motorola had already held a press conference in December.

However, the price of US$3995 at the time caused Motorola to fall into a public relations crisis.

On February 8000st, Motorola X was finally launched, but they actually started pre-sales. As long as you buy it in advance at their company store, you can immediately get a discount of yuan, and it only costs US dollars.

Yes, that's what Motorola's top management came up with.

According to information gathered by their senior management, the Motorola 1995X, which costs $8000, absolutely puts cordless phones to shame.

Previously, the American Nielsen business research company announced the monthly sales of cordless phones in December 1982, which almost exceeded 60,000 units.

In the United States alone, monthly sales of cordless phones nearly exceeded 60,000 units, and monthly revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that this gave Motorola great confidence, and this is why all of Motorola's senior executives turned to the strategy of price reduction.

After all, Motorola invested 8000 million US dollars in research and development of the X mobile phone. Although it took ten years, the actual investment must have exceeded million US dollars based on inflation.

Because over the past decade, inflation in the United States has been extremely exaggerated.

Ten years ago, in 1972, the global dollar base currency was only 80 billion US dollars.

But now in 1982, the base currency has exceeded 350 billion US dollars. This is because after the US dollar was decoupled from gold, its global dominance supported by the petrodollar has caused the Federal Reserve to print large amounts of money without any bottom line.

Coupled with the past two oil shocks and the most recent economic crisis, the worst since World War II, this has triggered the most terrible inflation.

Just to talk about 1981, Paul Volcker, then chairman of the Federal Reserve, announced an interest rate hike. The interest rate on US dollar deposits was 16.39%, an unprecedentedly high level.

In other words, if you deposit $100 in the bank, the interest will be $16.39 after one year.

If it's 1639 yuan, that's $. A million dollar deposit earns $ in annual interest, and a hundred million dollar deposit earns $ million. Such horrific interest rates!

It is conceivable how mysterious and bizarre the US economy has been in the past few years.

With the inflation rate being so high, the actual cost of Motorola's total investment of US$100 million must be higher.

But even so, refer to Huaxin's cordless telephone revenue in December.

So Motorola 8000X is pre-sold at a price of US$1995, which not only preserves the dignity of Motorola itself, but also earns reputation and expands sales.

In the view of Motorola executives, the pre-sale price of $1995 was definitely a dimensionality reduction blow to cordless phones.

Regardless of the previous marketing newspapers promoting how bad the signal of the Motorola 8000X mobile phone was and even that it had radiation, Motorola has also done public relations.

And recently, because they are going to be on the market, they have also carried out a series of publicity methods to explain clearly the dangers of radiation and reverse the unfavorable situation.

Therefore, Motorola executives believe that pre-sale sales will definitely not be bad.

In fact, just as they imagined, after the pre-sale price was announced, they received more than 20,000 reservations in less than a week.

Motorola directly received more than 40 million US dollars in payment for goods.

All they have to do is deliver these products to consumers on time in March or April, and the money will belong to Motorola.

While Motorola executives were excited about such a favorable situation and even opened champagne to celebrate, the heads of Huaxin Company in the United States were all stunned.

While they were sending these situations back to their country in the form of urgent telegrams, they were also mobilizing their connections and starting to make preparations.

After listening to this, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:

"You know what? Motorola does have some talented people. They're truly amazing to be able to turn this situation around."

Liu Deben immediately said:

"Duoyu, you're still laughing? Our cordless phone sales have hit rock bottom. According to news from the US, we only sold a few hundred units in the past week."

"Why?" Wang Duoyu was surprised when he heard this:

"I remember I told you before, as long as Motorola makes a move, once they lower their prices, we'll immediately lower ours too. We can just contact their telecom operator and offer a free phone if you top up your phone bill. Don't they have connections for this?"

In addition to giving away cordless phones when you top up your phone bill, Wang Duoyu also offers a cooperation plan such as installment payment, which allows American consumers to buy a cordless phone home with only a dozen or twenty dollars a month.

After all, the original selling price was only 1982, but now this money has been directly converted into phone bills, and the money originally used for phone bills can also be converted into monthly installments.

In the end, consumers only need to pay a certain amount every month, such as twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six, and other different periods, and then they can take home a cordless phone with $1982 in call charges.

Don't be too cool!
With reference to this strategy, cordless phones are a real dimensionality reduction attack on Motorola 8000X.

On the one hand, the unit price is US$1995, and the call charges have to be calculated separately. Moreover, the mobile phone charges, whether for making or receiving calls, are very expensive.

On the other side is a cordless phone with 1982 US dollars in call charges, and you can also make installment payments and take it home for just a few dozen dollars.

As long as you are not a fool, you will not blindly choose a cordless phone.

The strategy had been decided long ago. After all, Wang Duoyu and his team were based in China and were unable to adjust the strategy promptly and effectively against competitors such as Motorola.

Therefore, we just need to let the person in charge of Huaxin Company in the United States adjust the strategy according to the actual situation.

It's been a week, why haven't you done anything yet?
Liu Deben shook his head and said:

"They haven't really taken action yet. After all, Motorola has been incredibly ruthless this time, slashing the price so drastically, almost in half. Our strategy of offering a free cordless phone with a top-up and installment payments isn't enough, are it?"

Wang Duoyu felt helpless when he heard this.

This strategy of giving away a mobile phone for free when you top up your phone bill has already brought down the prestige of cordless phones. What else do you want?
If the price is lowered further, it will be even less impressive.

"Let's just leave it at that. We don't have much profit to begin with, so we definitely can't lower the price any further. We still have to see if these two strategies work. Don't play all your cards at once."

In fact, these two cards are already royal flushes.

In particular, giving away mobile phones for free when you top up your phone bill is definitely a groundbreaking marketing plan, and it is a dimensionality reduction attack within a dimensionality reduction attack.

I believe that when Motorola executives saw Huaxin come up with such a response strategy, their heads must have been buzzing.

This is definitely a carnival for consumers!

Seeing that Wang Duoyu was so persistent, Liu Deben stopped trying to persuade him.

After chatting about other things for a while, Liu Deben suddenly complained:
"Duoyu, why don't you hire an assistant? It's really troublesome to find you every time. I don't even know where you are."

This is just bringing up old things again.

Because Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, Wu Congyin and others had mentioned several times that Wang Duoyu should recruit an assistant, but he refused every time.

The reasons are very simple. First, he basically lives between two points, so it is easy to find him. Second, he has cordless phones at home and in the office, so he can be contacted at any time.

But now when this matter was brought up again, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment and nodded to indicate that he would pay attention to it.

Seeing that Wang Duoyu agreed, Liu Deben recommended:

"How about I recommend a few trustworthy candidates to you?"

Wang Duoyu just waved his hand and said he could do it himself.

It's just an assistant, not a big deal, there's no need to make such a fuss.

After returning to the mathematics department building, Wang Duoyu called Su Zhenghuai.

The latter soon came to his office. Wang Duoyu exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then asked directly:

"Teacher Su, this is the case. I've been quite busy lately and need someone to help me with some things. I wonder if you would be willing to put yourself in a difficult position and come and help me?"

It’s just an assistant position, there’s actually no need for Wang Duoyu to do this.

But respect is mutual. What's more, Wang Duoyu's status is different now. His assistant can be said to be someone close to him, so appropriate respect is definitely needed.

Su Zhenghuai was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Duoyu would like him.

The next moment, after he realized what was going on, he immediately agreed.

"Professor Wang, I do!"

Is it better to be a teaching assistant in the mathematics department, or to be an assistant here at Wang Duoyu?

If it were three years ago, Su Zhenghuai would definitely choose to be an assistant coach, but now he chose to be an assistant.

He is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, and he is the first to see the moon. Once he becomes Wang Duoyu's assistant, he will only need Wang Duoyu's simple guidance in the future, which may be enough for him to benefit for a long time.

Moreover, as time went by, Su Zhenghuai also knew the limit of his talent. Perhaps he was destined to be a lecturer in this life. Maybe if he worked hard for ten or twenty years, he might even become an associate professor.

But this is the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. It’s already very good that you are not kicked out. How can you want to be an associate professor?
Young people nowadays are more ruthless than each other.

The Graduate School of Harbin Institute of Technology is becoming more and more popular every year. Judging from these circumstances, it will probably be difficult for Su Zhenghuai to teach undergraduate students in the Department of Mathematics by then.

After all, there are too many geniuses. As an ordinary teacher who graduated from a worker-peasant-soldier university, he is lucky to be able to stay in Harbin Institute of Technology. How can he want to be an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology?

difficult!
So, now that there was such an opportunity, Su Zhenghuai naturally agreed without hesitation.

Wang Duoyu saw this and immediately said with a smile:

"In that case, go back and clean up, and then come to my floor to work. There's a storage office next door. You can arrange for someone to clean it up and use it as your office."

Su Zhenghuai was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

After watching the other person leave, Wang Duoyu smiled and lowered his head to continue working.

The year he entered Harbin Institute of Technology, Su Zhenghuai was already a teacher in the Department of Computational Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology. However, five or six years have passed, and he has not made any progress.

All I can say is that the talent is there, there's really nothing I can do about it.

Also because the other party is an old acquaintance, and Wang Duoyu has heard a little about his daily personality, so he chose him as his assistant.

In fact, he had several other candidates, such as Shao Zongjian, Yang Xiuhua, etc.

But Wang Duoyu excluded the female comrade at the first opportunity, and Shao Zongjian's talent was slightly better. Considering comprehensive factors such as personality, Wang Duoyu still chose Su Zhenghuai.

After the assistant was decided, Wang Duoyu no longer paid attention to this matter.

The next day, he asked Su Zhenghuai to help inform everyone that he was going to start his vacation.

This year's New Year's Eve is on the 12th, and today is already the 9th. He will go back to his hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival tomorrow, and come back on the fourth day of the New Year, which is the 16th.

There are many projects at Harbin Institute of Technology, and most of them only have two or three days off, such as the Nebula supercomputing project.

Less than ten minutes after the notice was sent out, Shing-Tung Yau and his team arrived.

"You guys got here pretty quickly. Has my paper been approved?"

This was of course a joke. After all, Qiu Chengtong and his team were at the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study. There was no way they could rush to the HIT Mathematics Department teaching building within ten minutes of receiving the notice.

"Well, we were just about to talk to you about this."

Charles Fefferman immediately started talking about some of the unresolved issues they had discussed last time, on the evening of the 4th.

The first paper on the geometric Langlands conjecture is over a hundred pages long, and it is normal that there is a considerable amount of content that is not fully understood.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately listened attentively.

Su Zhenghuai, who was standing aside, was soon confused. These questions were indeed very difficult and were beyond his ability to participate.

An hour and a half later, Qiu Chengtong and his colleagues finally breathed a sigh of relief.

By this point in the paper, they had completely understood it and it was ready for publication.

Although the review time was short this time, they had already talked to Wang Duoyu twice, and their problems were solved each time.

Now they have fully understood the paper, so there is no problem and they can publish it directly.

As for whether something like what happened to John Milnor and Thompson will happen again, where their papers are falsified, that will definitely not happen.

Professor Shing-Tung Yau and others are very confident about this.

What's more, they will continue to study this topic, and if there are any problems, they will be able to discover them at the first time.

"The Spring Festival is coming soon, and we will definitely celebrate it here. You should also take a break. This paper will be published after the Spring Festival."

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, John Milnor shook his head and refused:

"No, I still stick to my point of view. It would be better to release it as soon as possible. The sooner the grand unified theory of mathematics is realized, the better."

He is fifty-two years old, not young anymore.

During the discussion just now, he had clearly felt that he was almost unable to keep up with the thinking of Qiu Chengtong and others, let alone Wang Duoyu.

The latter's brain works very fast, much faster than that of Qiu Chengtong and others.

Older people must admit that their body functions are declining, and they are no longer as energetic and vigorous as young people in their teens.

Therefore, if he still wants to see the goal of a grand unified theory of mathematics realized, he must promote its development as quickly as possible.

Once the geometric Langlands conjecture is proved, grand unification will not be far away.

With such a bright future, John Milnor certainly hopes that it can be realized as soon as possible.

Charles Fefferman, David Bryant Manford, Robert Langlands and others also nodded in agreement.

Even Qiu Chengtong advised that it would be best to publish it before the Spring Festival. Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu no longer insisted on his own idea.

But let them keep an eye on this matter, he definitely needs a vacation.

After a busy year, although he visited Jiuzhaigou, Chongqing, Shanghai and other places in the middle of the year, and returned to his hometown for almost a month, he did not even have summer vacation and winter vacation.

Even though other people have a weekend off, Wang Duoyu doesn't have a weekend off most of the time.

So now that it’s the Spring Festival, I must take a holiday and go back to my hometown to rest.

If he stayed at Harbin Institute of Technology, there would definitely be many jobs for him.

After Qiu Chengtong and his colleagues left, Wang Duoyu was also preparing to return to the villa for dinner. However, Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang and others had already informed Su Zhenghuai that they had something to discuss with Professor Wang.

This is the disadvantage of having an assistant. You can't avoid anything that happens.

There was no choice but for Wang Duoyu to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Walking into the cafeteria's private room, Wang Duoyu saw the three giants of Harbin Institute of Technology, as well as school leaders such as Jin Lirong, and a guest who surprised him very much: Fang Lihe!

In addition to Fang Lihe, there is another person, that is Fang Lihe's cousin Yuan Xueyi.

Logically speaking, Fang Lihe is in his fifties or sixties, and his cousin must be in her thirties or forties as well, so they must be of the same generation.

Unfortunately, it is not the case. Yuan Xueyi is only twenty-one years old this year, one year younger than Lu Ruoxi.

"Duoyu, you're here. Come sit down and let's eat and talk."

Liu Deben immediately waved his hand and asked Wang Duoyu to sit next to the leader.

At this time, there was only one empty main seat on the dinner table. Next to this seat was another main seat, where Fang Lihe was sitting, and one seat further away was where Liu Deben was sitting.

Sitting on the other side of the empty main seat was Yuan Xueyi.

Such a seating arrangement made Wang Duoyu speechless. What kind of situation is this?

To be honest, Wang Duoyu did not expect Fang Lihe to come to Harbin Institute of Technology at this time. After all, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Why would the latter come here?
Wang Duoyu is not very worried about the current situation. After all, no one can force him.

But Liu Deben and the others knew that Liu Xiaoli lived in his house and helped him take care of his son, so why did they still help Fang Lihe?

If it was just Fang Lihe, it would be fine, but what about Yuan Xueyi? Wouldn’t Liu Deben and the others know about it?

I really don’t know what they are thinking.

Now that he was here, Wang Duoyu couldn't just turn around and leave. Although he could do so, there was no need to.

It's not a dangerous place, it's just a meal.

While greeting Fang Lihe, Wang Duoyu walked over. From the time he sat down to the time he ate, he didn't say hello to Yuan Xueyi the whole time.

Now that he is here, the lunch party today officially begins.

"I just went to the Customs Statistics Bureau a few days ago. They have compiled some data on our country's economic development for 1982."

After just two drinks, Fang Lihe suddenly spoke. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

In 1982, the national import and export volume exceeded 100 billion yuan. When Wang Duoyu heard this, he was quite surprised. So fast?

But on second thought, it seems normal.

Because a department of Harbin Institute of Technology earned 7.3 billion US dollars in the past year, which is equivalent to more than 23 billion RMB in export volume.

In terms of imports, that is, using foreign exchange to purchase oil, steel, grain, minerals, technology, equipment, etc., Harbin Institute of Technology alone has spent at least 20 billion yuan, right?
The more you earn, the more you spend, that's for sure.

It's unavoidable because Harbin Institute of Technology is building new factories everywhere and needs to purchase equipment and technology.

"Of this, exports amounted to 76.3 billion RMB, and Harbin Institute of Technology accounted for 30.5% of the nation's total exports."

Following Fang Lihe's words, everyone couldn't help but look happy.

This proportion is not very high, but it also shows that under the wave of reform and opening up, the national economy has been rising rapidly.

"Professor Wang, you have made great contributions!"

Fang Lihe suddenly raised his glass, looked at Wang Duoyu, and praised him with a smile: "The higher-ups are very satisfied with you. You should be able to receive an award at the conference in March."
