I Am the President of the University

The phone was connected, and Xu Chenyang's lazy voice came.

"Teacher, why did you call so early in the morning..."

Tian Rou didn't get angry and snorted coldly, "If I don't fight soon, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to fight when you get to Guanghua."

The other party is silent.

Then a sigh sounded like it sounded in the empty room.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for letting down your high expectations. It's really incredible to make this decision, but I don't regret it." Xu Chenyang said firmly.

When it comes to people with IQs like them, they generally think about problems and make many assumptions.

Joining Guanghua University, in Xu Chenyang's view, is the best solution.

Choosing Guanghua is naturally not a choice made in a hurry.

Tian Rou's face froze, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "Guanghua University has been developing ok recently, but it is a world away from Peking University! There is no comparison at all. If you choose to go to Guanghua, it will only waste your talent. !"

"Then go to Peking University?" Xu Chenyang asked back.

Tian Rou hesitated for a while, then said, "Uh... Even if you don't go back to Peking University, you can go to Tsinghua or Fudan University."

Xu Chenyang knew that his teacher, the vice-president of Peking University and the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, naturally had nothing to say, but he was still a little arrogant.

"Teacher, it's not my words that sound bad. The schools you mentioned are not as good as Guanghua in some respects." Xu Chenyang said lightly.

"Oh?" Professor Tian Rou laughed angrily, "Apart from money, what else do I really want to hear about?"

The guy from Guanghua University, besides being rich, what advantages does he have?

They are Peking University and Guanghua University, like the difference between an elegant gentry and a nouveau riche.

"Teacher, do you really want to hear it?"

"All ears!"

Xu Chenyang couldn't help shaking his head and said calmly, "A lot of money is indeed a feature of Guanghua, but the point is not the total amount of this money, but the use."

"Does Peking University have no money? Yes! Peking University has received a lot of state funding, and some research groups have even reached tens of millions of funds, but what about the graduate students below?"

"There is a meeting here in Beautiful Country, and the graduate students who go to participate can basically be reimbursed for all. After several meetings are held, who is in the field, and the level is clear."

"As you know, the reimbursement of postgraduate students by our domestic public universities is basically not much. The travel expenses are only the second-class seat of the motor car and the sleeper, not even an air ticket."

Although Xu Chenyang is no longer a graduate student, after all, he grew up in China. Although he was a professor at Peking University, it was no problem to be reimbursed for these things, but he still knew the hardships of domestic graduate students.

Sometimes I have a meeting from Beijing to Shenzhen, and I can only take the high-speed train for eight or nine hours because I can't reimburse the air ticket.

Don't underestimate graduate students, all the great people will stand out from the graduate level. They have no time to teach, and they don't need to write fund applications. They can concentrate on reading books and finding topics to do. for too.

However, the treatment of postgraduates in China is only acceptable in a few schools such as the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National University of Science and Technology.

"Let's not talk about Peking University's seniority rankings, there are too many problems with Peking University's logistics and administration."

Recalling that scene, Xu Chenyang took a deep breath.

"It should have been 13 years. Not long after I returned to Peking University, on an occasion at the school, I heard a school leader in administrative affairs say disdainfully to several postdoctoral fellows who had just come to the school to go through the formalities: You guys are postdocs who can't get along in America..."

Tian Rou was silent when she heard these words.

He knew all the situations that Xu Chenyang said, and this kind of thing would exist in any school.

Tian Rou wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she stopped when she got to her mouth. Guanghua could indeed reduce such problems.

Compared with public universities, private universities are much more flexible in terms of system, and it is difficult for public universities to be expelled.

"Beijing University has..."

Xu Chenyang continued to narrate the facts, just like the famous domestic company Ali, no one dared to imagine that Ali's ice-breaking culture was so unbearable.

Basically, every time Xu Chenyang spoke, Tian Rou's expression changed by one point.

Knowing finally turned into a sigh.

He has let go.

But he still wanted to ask a question.

"Chenyang, if you are willing to return to Peking University, we can work together to reform and build a new Peking University!"

However, what was waiting was Xu Chenyang's resolute voice.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. Although Peking University is very good, it is not suitable for concentrating on academic research."

"Guanghua University is the last pure land!"

...

When the phone hung up, Xu Chenyang's face was a little melancholy, or it was an inexplicable sadness.

Peking University was his alma mater, and he never wanted to return to his alma mater to teach.

But reason told him that only Guanghua University was the best place for him, and it was the only place in China where mathematics could take root.

Not to mention that there is still a Lu Zhou waiting for him there.

Chen Hao had a sentence that touched him very much.

There is no shortage of Chinese in the Fields Medal, but China needs a Fields Medal!

He has already missed the time, but Lu Zhou is still young and has great flexibility and growth.

Thinking of Lu Zhou, Xu Chenyang thought of Guanghua University.

The resignation procedure is already going through the process, but before returning to China, he still wants to try again.

Thinking of this, Xu Chenyang swept away the tired look on his face and regained his energy.

Today, he has to lobby two friends.

It can also be said to be a direct disciple.

...

"Old Xu, I'm sorry, I have no plans to go back to China."

"I have no plans to return to China. My wife and children are stable in the United States, and the domestic scientific research environment is really not good."

Two people spoke, named Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei.

There are four geniuses in mathematics at Peking University, namely Yun Zhiwei, Zhang Wei, Xu Chenyang and Zhu Xinwen.

But now, as the most outstanding generation of young mathematicians in China, all four of them teach in the United States.

Xinwen Zhu is a professor at Caltech;

Yun Zhiwei was a professor at Yale University before;

Zhang Wei was previously a professor at Princeton University.

Then it is interesting that in 2018, MIT made great efforts to recruit and recruited three young 45-minute speakers from China in the field of algebraic geometry, namely Xu Chenyang, Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei.

The main reason is the unfortunate passing of two Fields Medalists, and the aging of the mathematics department at MIT. There are still many old professors still teaching in the classroom.

Coupled with the previous Deng Xia, Huang Xu and several other Chinese mathematicians, it seems that they have occupied half of the mathematics department of MIT.

Listening to the conversation between the two, even though Xu Chenyang was well prepared, he was still a little disappointed.

The level of Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei is similar to his, only slightly different.

If they can be persuaded to bring them to Guanghua, then Guanghua's mathematics department will definitely be an all-star lineup!

He believes that if he is given five years, he will be able to turn Guanghua's mathematics department into the number one in China!

"Guanghua University is different from other schools in China. There is soil suitable for mathematics survival, and you can do mathematics research with peace of mind!" Xu Chenyang said excitedly.

His purpose of going abroad has always been to serve the motherland after completing his studies.

Just like Mr. Qian Xuesen back then.

He also thought that both Yun Zhiwei and Zhang Wei had studied in the United States with such a purpose.

Until Yun Zhiwei shook his head at him, breaking his illusion.

"For mathematics research, the environment and conditions in the United States are much better than those in China, and it is easier to produce results." Yun Zhiwei said, turning his head to the side of Zhang Wei, "Old Zhang, how many years have we been in the United States? "

"It's been 16 years since I graduated from Peking University in 2004." Zhang Wei replied in a low voice.

"How many sixteen years can a life have..." Yun Zhiwei said with emotion.

"Old Xu, don't you understand yet?"

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
