From small town academic to chief scientist

The influence of scientific research assistants is no less than that of platforms such as Bibo, Douyin, Bhu, and Czhan.

In addition to the previous functions, there are also personal accounts, which can also accumulate fans.

If Zhou Yi continues to work hard to promote this APP abroad,

Maybe it can become an APP similar to Twitter and Facebook.

At that time, various functions such as scientific research and entertainment will be integrated into one, replacing all social platforms.

Become the most influential APP in the world.

During the National Day, news about smart home appliances has been overwhelmingly publicized. Coupled with their intelligence, countless families who are planning to replace their furniture have spent money.

Even some young people have begun to replace furniture in order to experience this new trend.

These furniture are not only voice-controlled, but can also be remotely controlled by scientific research assistants. There are some traditional and fashionable ones.

There are discounts and promotions during the National Day, so smart furniture is selling very hotly.

Zhou Yi also often received calls from Liu Qingfeng in the past few days.

They were all good news calls.

How many hundreds of millions are sold in a day, and how much furniture is sold in a day.

Zhou Yi didn't care, the money would be credited to the card anyway.

But just when Zhou Yi was concentrating on writing his paper,

Liu Qingfeng's call came in again.

Zhou Yi put down the keyboard, picked up the phone, and said:

"Hey, Mr. Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Qingfeng said with a hint of excitement:

"Professor Zhou, good thing."

Zhou Yi had a question mark on his face and said:

"Mr. Liu, please tell me why you are so excited."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"The person in charge of Warwick and the person in charge of Dami Mobile are ready to talk to us about cooperation and install intelligent voice systems on their mobile phones."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. It was indeed a big business.

The intelligent voice system can be installed on mobile phones, and it is even more intelligent than Apple's voice system.

Zhouyi said:

"Then you guys have a good talk."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"They want to invite you to talk together. After all, you are the one who talks about our system."

Zhou Yi frowned and said:

"Then let them come to Shuimu University. I don't have time to go out. I'm busy writing a paper on the proof of the twin prime conjecture."

The entire mathematical world is looking at Zhou Yi and Will Savin.

There are only a few mathematical experts who study the twin prime number conjecture.

Maynard counts as one.

And Terence Tao.

Liu Qingfeng said:

"good."

Zhou Yi really didn't want to spend time participating in this matter, but for the sake of the large amount of money, he still participated.

Zhou Yi said to the mobile phone:

"What time?"

Liu Qingfeng said:

"You can do it at any time. The person in charge has plenty of time. It mainly depends on when Professor Zhou has time.

If it's quick, maybe tomorrow morning? "

Zhouyi said:

"Okay, tomorrow morning."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Then I will inform Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei tomorrow morning."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay, hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi pondered that the new voice system should be able to control all APPs on the phone with voice and control all APP application functions.

Automatically unlocking when hearing the owner's voice is a minor problem. Being able to apply any function according to the owner's request is abnormal.

For example, when opening a certain food-grabbing app, the mobile phone owner does not need to browse one by one, but can complete the purchase by dictating which dishes he wants.

If such a dish is missing, the phone will automatically report it to the phone owner.

It even reminds the mobile phone owner which dishes are cheaper.

It can reduce a lot of opportunities for manual operations, and you only need to move your mouth.

The next morning,

Mr. Ren from Warwick Company, Mr. Lei from Rice Company, and iFlytek Liu Qingfeng came to Zhou Yi’s office together.

Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugan have been assigned to the office next door. After all, it is too easy to affect their mentality here.

Young people who can resist this temptation are basically rare.

As soon as Liu Qingfeng entered the door, he introduced Zhou Yi:

"Professor Zhou, this is Mr. Ren, the boss of Warwick, and this is Mr. Lei of the rice company."

Mr. Lei and Mr. Ren said very politely:

"Hello, Professor Zhou."

Zhou Yi also said very politely:

"Hello, Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei."

Liu Qingfeng followed the two of them and said:

"This time Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei came to see Professor Zhou. I also informed Professor Zhou in advance, so if I have any ideas, I can tell them straight to the point."

Mr. Ren was the first to speak:

"Our purpose of coming here was made very clear to Mr. Liu, which is to install this voice system on our mobile phones and then squeeze the market of Apple mobile phones."

Mr. Lei also said:

"Looking at China, there are more than 100 million Apple mobile phone users, and there may be more than one billion worldwide. If we can capture part of this market, the profits will be astronomical."

Liu Qingfeng also said:

"Indeed, if we add this system to each mobile phone, we will sell it for 300 yuan more, 10 million people, that is 3 billion, and it is not just Apple mobile phones, but mobile phones from other companies will also be further squeezed by us.

By then the value of this system may be tens of billions. We increase the price of mobile phones sold by OMG by 100 Mg or 100 Euros, and the profit is far more than that. "

Zhou Yi nodded and could only say that Liu Qingfeng was also a businessman and would not be fooled by Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei.

To be able to maximize their interests, these things must have been discussed by them before. Now I will give myself a simple popular science so that I can have an idea in my mind.

After Zhou Yi listened, he also said with some surprise:

"It seems that the market is indeed very big, and it is astonishingly big. Even if it costs less than 300 yuan, you can seize the market. There are more than 8 billion people in the world. Excluding young children, at least 4 billion people in poor countries use mobile phones.

And when our voice system is loaded into mobile phones, many elderly people who cannot use smartphones can also use smartphones. They only need to dictate. "

After hearing this, Mr. Ren said:

"That's true. Professor Zhou is truly a genius. He can clearly see the benefits in just a few words."

Zhouyi said:

"It should be far more than that. This is another domestic mobile phone brand launching an attack on Apple mobile phones. Although the chip cannot compare, other technologies can catch up."

Liu Qingfeng added:

"Many elderly people don't understand how to use mobile phones, but as long as this voice system is loaded, they will not only be able to use smart phones, but the mobile phones will be very popular. Many human operation instructions only need to move their mouths."

Zhouyi said:

"Then how did you talk about it?"

Zhou Yi began to get to the point.

The benefits here are at least in the trillions. Even if the price does not increase, the profit of a mobile phone is very scary. If it crowds out the rest of the mobile phone market,

Just look at Apple.

The Trillion Magnesium Knife Club makes people look forward to it just thinking about it. Even if Zhou Yi has no feeling about money, he still feels very scary.

With this money, is it possible to build a large collider without having to pay for it from the state?

Is CERN awesome?

I have so much money to build one in Daxia, one on the moon, and even one on Mars if conditions permit.

Mr. Ren on the side said:

"For every mobile phone sold, you charge 20% of the net profit. And the smart system is only sold to us and not to other companies."

After Zhou Yi listened, he pondered for a while and said:

"The share is too low, and the conditions are too harsh. I can only sell it to you two companies. I can also sell OPPO and other brands of mobile phones, and the buyout is more than 20%.

The blessings brought by our system go beyond this. "

Liu Qingfeng also said:

"Professor Zhou, I have the same view. 20% is too low, and there is such a restriction, which means you are tied to death. It is impossible to agree to this condition.

We can even sell Apple and completely kill all mobile phone brands in the world. I believe they will definitely give a sky-high price.

Even OPPO, etc., we have a lot of choices, but Mr. Ren, I can’t see your sincerity in your price and conditions. "

Negotiations reached a deadlock.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Yi continued to type on the keyboard. There was a high probability that they would not be able to agree on it all at once.

Mr. Ren said:

"I don't know what Professor Zhou and Mr. Liu want in their hearts, but it doesn't matter. Let's talk with great sincerity."

Liu Qingfeng said directly:

"35% of the net profit, 10 billion in royalties, and the limit is only 1 year."

Zhou Yi stopped typing on the keyboard and said:

"We also mean this. If the cooperation goes well later, we can continue to cooperate, but after one year we can also choose to sell it to other mobile phone companies.

Otherwise there is no need to talk. "

35% seems like a big deal, but once they market well this year, they will make more money than before, not less than this number.

The market all over the world will belong to them. Zhou Yi feels that it is more conscientious not to take 45%.

Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei frowned. It was not certain whether they could make it back in one year, not to mention there was still a deposit of 10 billion.

This makes it difficult for them to make up their minds at once.

Zhou Yi said again at this time:

"How about you think about it for a few days first and think about it later. Anyway, Apple just released its mobile phone this year not long ago, so you still have a chance."

Mr. Ren and Mr. Lei said:

"Okay, let's go back and discuss it with our people."

After they left, Liu Qingfeng said mockingly:

"We don't have any courage. If we give this news to Apple or other mobile phone companies, we don't know if they are in a hurry."

Zhouyi said:

"I'm afraid you don't need to tell them. They will contact us in two days. Maybe the price offered is higher than we thought."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Then wait a few days. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. What is anxious is them. Apple, OPPO and other companies should come to us one after another in the next few days."

Zhouyi said:

"You deal with them. I'm a little busy these days. Anyway, there's no rush. It's in the best interest to wait."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Okay, smart home appliances are just the first step. We may also be able to deploy mobile phones. With our current technology, in addition to chips, we can also do it."

Zhouyi said:

"That's your business, I won't participate. You can tell me later when it's settled. I really don't want to participate in this, and let Tian Yiguang be responsible for my part of the matter."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother Professor Zhou, but I personally think you should be a little more concerned."

Zhouyi said:

"Well, doesn't this allow Tian Yiguang to join your company? He studied economics and management, which is just right for him. I feel more at ease with him."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"That's good, but he has just graduated this year."

Zhouyi said:

"It won't matter."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Liu Qingfeng said.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, go slowly, Zheng Keyu will go and see you off."

After Liu Qingfeng left, Zhou Yi sighed:

"The pull here may not have a result until my twin prime number conjecture is proved."

The eyes of the apprentices who worked on this system were full of excitement. If the negotiation was completed, would they get another sum of money?

Even if it is only 1%, that is a very scary number.

Zhou Yi glanced at them and said:

"This money won't be divided between you. I have a lot of use for it."

"Good teacher, the money earned from smart home appliances is enough for us to use for ten lifetimes."

The three of them said at the same time.

Zhou Yi smiled, ten lifetimes?

A large collider costs more than that.

These scientific research machines really cost money. Zhou Yi used to think that the money was useless, but now he thinks it is useless if the money is too little.

In the next few days, Tian Yiguang not only reported to Zhou Yi the sales situation of smart home appliances, but also reported the negotiation status to Zhou Yi.

"Shen Zhou, smart home appliances are completely popular, not only domestically, but also abroad. In addition, there are scientific research assistants, and there is no need to download a new APP for remote control, so it is also convenient."

Tian Yiguang said,

"As for mobile phones, we are still talking about it. Apple, Nokia and many other big companies are trying their best to get it."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"Thank you, Lao Tian, ​​please take care of me."

Tian Yiguang was also very relaxed and unrestrained, saying:

"Oh God Zhou, you actually found me from so many people. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the best interests. I won't let Liu Qingfeng earn a penny more."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"Just don't be tricked by him. At least Liu Qingfeng is still sincere now and won't hide anything from me."

"No, Zhou Shen, believe me, I am your most loyal fan, and it has never changed since the national competition."

Tian Yiguang said.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Zhou Yi said.

Letting Tian Yiguang participate in his management of these matters also keeps an eye on Liu Qingfeng. This is a signal from Zhou Yi to Liu Qingfeng.

I, Zhou Yi, believe you, but I'm not a fool. If you have someone watching over you, at least you won't be fooled.

And this person, Tian Yiguang, is very suitable.

Whether it is professionalism or Zhou Yi's degree of trust in him, it is very suitable.

Finally, on October 10th, Zhou Yi wrote the paper on the twin prime conjecture. When there was no problem with the idea, writing the paper was a matter of course.

Just pay attention to the details and don't make any minor mistakes.

Originally, Zhouyi had to wait a few days to receive the papers from Will Savin and his wife.

As a result, on the next day, Zhou Yi received the papers from Will Savin and Will Savin. When they sent the PDF file to Zhou Yi's email, Zhou Yi also sent his paper to them.

They are both colleagues. Since they decided to publish together, Zhou Yi and Will Savin decided to review each other's manuscripts. When both sides felt that there was no problem,

Zhou Yi is going to be published directly in the "Mathematics Journal of Chongqing High School".

Zhou Yi has not yet decided what the name of this magazine will be, but this name is also very suitable.

You can replace it with something better in the future.

Three days later, Will Savin felt that there were no errors in Zhou Yi's paper, and Zhou Yi also felt that Will Savin's paper had no errors.

Then Zhouyi directly published the two people's papers in the "Journal of Mathematics of Yuzhou High School\

,"Zhou Yi not only promotes it directly on scientific research assistants, but also promotes it on multiple social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Bibo.

The content is as follows:

["Two Proof Methods for the Twin Prime Conjecture", for details, please pay attention to the journal "Mathematics Journal of Yuzhou High School" in the mathematics section of the scientific research assistant.

The first way to prove is that Professor Will Savin and Mark Shusterman combine Zhou's analytical method and finite field method to prove;

The second method of proof is that Professor Zhou Yi of Shuimu University of Daxia used Zhou's analytical method combined with the sieve method and the circle method to prove it.

Many peer reviews are welcome.

In addition, the "Journal of Mathematics of Yuzhou High School" collects high-quality papers in various sections of mathematics. Once the papers are cited, they will be permanently included in the Research Assistant Center. 】

As soon as Zhouyi's article came out, it instantly stirred up waves!
