It’s not just that Xiaotong didn’t think that thesis published in “Econometrica” would burst like this fire. Even Lu Zhou didn’t think of it. He guessed that he had just returned home and was about to cut off the connection with the outside world, and he was studying GFB Riemann’s without thinking. Conjecture, while taking a safe vacation until the end of the year, the mailbox was flooded with letters coming from the tide.

Some of them were sent by old friends at Princeton, and some of them were not known. However, from the introduction of self-reporting, it seems that they are all scholars engaged in macroeconomics, computational economics, etc., and many They are all well-known.

It is from these emails that Lu Zhou learned that his mathematics model has been in the midst of economics. There have been several economic seminars on this mathematical model in New York, Boston, London and other places. The college is convened.

And the meanings expressed by the economists who found him are basically the same as Krugman’s Professor. They hope that he can continue to study on the Lu-Bewley model, with macroeconomics and computational economics. Higher peaks advance.

Sorry, however, Lu Zhou is not very interested.

At the beginning, I also seriously returned a few e-mails and expressed euphemistic rejection. Later, as more and more e-mails were sent, he simply replied to Xiao AI.

For a time, Lu Zhou suddenly cleared a lot, and finally had time to calm down and continue to delve into the mathematics tool he created in the previous period – “super elliptic curve analysis”.

On the third day before the Spring Festival, London time is probably just past noon.

Xiaotong, who is packing his bags, opened the WeChat video, harassed the Elder brother who was on vacation, and reported the good news that he was invited by Krugman Professor to Princeton to report to Lu Zhou.

After listening to the expression of Xiaotong excited chirp chirp twitter twitter, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and suddenly interrupted her.

“Xiaotong.”

“Ok?”

Suddenly called the name, Xiaotong, who was inserting the small skirt into the suitcase, did not look back. He said that he heard it.

Paused, Lu Zhou continues.

“In theory, a model based on economics design… can predict the future?”

These days he almost forgot the Krugman Professor and what he said, but Xiaotong suddenly mentioned that he was admitted by the Nobel Prize winner, but it reminded Lu Zhou.

Fortune-telling……

Predicting the future social environment and even the political landscape by changing macroeconomics…

Can this kind of thing really be done?

Upon hearing this strange question, Xiaotong stopped the action of packing up the suitcase and replied with a sigh of relief.

“Can’t say no… but the meaning of economics is not to predict the future.”

Lu Zhou: “What is it for?”

“For the efficient allocation of social resources… or in other words, is the future moving in a better direction?”

When I said this, the tone used by Xiaotong was not particularly certain. After all, she was just a master student who had just graduated less than a month. For her, there is still a long way to go on the academic road. go.

“This way…”

Lu Zhou is thoughtfully nodded and has not evaluated anything.

Looking back at the computer screen, like the Elder brother who was thinking, Xiaotong asked curiously.

“Elder brother Are you studying GFB Riemann’s Conjecture? Why are you suddenly asking?”

Suddenly, she moved in her heart and said with delight.

“Don’t you… are you interested in economics suddenly?”

“You think too much, but suddenly someone and I mentioned this interesting question,” did not tell her that this person is her future mentor, Lu Zhou laughed, ended the topic and continued, “Speak, this year you are How many times are you coming back?”

Although this is an interesting topic, it is not interesting enough to fascinate Lu Zhou.

After all, the so-called prediction of the future is nothing more than a conjecture. When Krugman Professor mentioned this concept to him, he did not even use a very positive tone.

Of course, if he can do it, he doesn’t mind taking the time to study it, and using quantum computers to observe what’s going on in the future.

Of course, I don’t want to profit from this technology, just purely out of a Scholar’s ​​perspective, curious about the unknown…

Xiaotong said happily: “Tomorrow’s plane! Let’s go to Shanghai first, play there for two days, then take the high-speed rail back~”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“Let’s come back and talk about it… Yes, is your livelihood fee enough?”

“hmph, no, you don’t need your money. The reward for the outsourcing work I received from HSBC is not too low. It is much higher than the time you worked…. Speaking, Elder brother, are you home?”

Although there is a bit of skin, but I don’t want to bother others, it’s just a pattern with myself. At first, I seemed to be the same. The wings were just hard, and I was not willing to have a family for a penny.

When I heard Xiaotong’s first half of the sentence, Lu Zhou couldn’t help laughing, nodded said.

“Well, it was yesterday.”

“Envy you… I will go down for lunch for a while, hang up first.”

“Well, come back soon.”

After hanging up the video call, Lu Zhou looked at the table below. After another ten minutes, Mom probably should knock on the door and ask herself to have dinner.

But just as he was getting ready to go, the bottom right corner of the computer screen popped up with a bunch of bubbles.

Xiao AI :[Master, Xiao AI I received a special email here. Do you need me to reply for you? ?(^?^*)]

Seeing this prompt, Lu Zhou was slightly hesitant.

“…What does it mean in particular?”

Xiao AI: [It was sent by a woman named Vera. (?)

Willa?

Hearing this unexpected name, Lu Zhou gave a slight sigh, and then fixed the mind.

“…I have to reply myself.”

[OK~(乖巧.jpg)]

Although I am very curious about how Xiao AI can identify which emails I would like to respond to, I would like to estimate the last time I upgraded, and I have improved the IQ of some artificial mental retardation fellow students.

However, just as Lu Zhou was preparing to open the e-mail, there was a knock at the door.

“Zhouer, someone is looking for you outside.”

Through the door, the voice of the old lady came over.

A slight glimpse, Lu Zhou thought about it, as if there was no appointment, and asked subconsciously.

“Find me?”

“Hey! Just looking for you, they claim to be Jianghe University, they are all teachers! Another one is heard to be an academician! They are so polite, they are waiting at the door, let me ask you first.”

Listening to the voice of the old lady seems to be full of happiness, and even with a little vibrato.

Not only did the son make a university question, but also the “big scholar”. Not only did he become an academician, but even the academicians came to visit the family during the holiday, so “talking and laughing, there is no white,” Can you be unhappy with being a mother?

What’s more, Jianghe University is quite famous in the city of Jingling County!

However, after hearing the keywords of “Jianghe University”, “teacher” and “there are several academicians”, Lu Zhou’s heart was faintly faint, and even a little headache.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly realized that he thought it would be unrealistic to go back to his hometown to avoid those people.

“The tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not…”

Xiao AI :[(°`°??)]

Fang Mei: “Zhouer?”

“Nothing, I am coming.”

Pushing the chair up and standing up, Lu Zhou walked up to the door with his head wide open.

Always felt……

It’s too naive to count on yourself to sneak in and spend the New Year.
