Stephen Hawking may not be the most accomplished physical scientist in modern times, but he is definitely the most well-known scientist among ordinary people.

His Brief History of Time is by far the best-selling popular science book, with tens of millions of sales worldwide, allowing many people to enter the field of scientific research that was previously kept at a distance through this book.

Therefore, he is also the scientist who sells the most books among all scientists, whether it is now or in history.

When many European and American parents encourage their children, they will use Hawking's example as a short story to tell their children, so that their children can learn Hawking's courage and tenacity.

In China, Hawking is also very well-known, and basically everyone born in the 1980s and 1990s knows this great scientist in a wheelchair.

At this moment, this most well-known modern scientist is going to attend a lecture in a newly built school in Donghai City, China, and he is listening to a physics class taught by a computer science student who is less than twenty-three years old...

If it was in the past, everyone would definitely say that Hawking's brain is probably not good enough to do such inexplicable things.

But now, many scientists think this is understandable, because Wang Xiao's equation has re-laid the foundation of physics and reinterpreted what physics is.

It's just that many ordinary people still find it difficult to understand, because they are not professionals, they just watch the excitement and don't understand the meaning. They just saw that some people said that Wang Xiao and his thesis are very good, but where is the power? What does it mean?

They don't know.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist who has been famous for half a century and is one of the most outstanding scientists in modern times. Why should he attend a public lecture by a young man?

Some ordinary people even think this is simply stupid behavior.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has been paying attention to foreign news recently, knew the news immediately, and then Li Haisheng personally called Cambridge University to contact Hawking. He got a definite answer from Hawking himself, saying that he really wanted to come to listen to Wang Xiao's lecture, and listen to Wang Xiao's talk about Wang Xiao's equation and other knowledge.

Then, Li Haisheng immediately notified Donghai University of Science and Technology of the news.

When Principal Lin heard the news, he almost jumped up in the office.

Donghai University of Science and Technology has really become famous all over the world, all of which were brought by Wang Xiao.

He hung up Li Haisheng's phone and called Wang Xiao immediately.

"Wang Xiao, let me tell you that Stephen Hawking, a scientist from the University of Cambridge in England, will come to your class. I have already agreed. You must speak carefully when the time comes..."

Principal Lin said to Wang Xiao excitedly.

When Wang Xiao heard Hawking's name, she felt a little admiration in her heart. But he was not so excited, because the height he was standing was far above Hawking, and he replied indifferently: "I see, principal, don't worry about my lectures, I know what to say." .”

"Okay, okay, I don't care what you say. But it's best to calm Hawking and let him foreign scientists know how powerful you are. Know how powerful our school is."

Principal Lin hurriedly changed his tone and said that he didn't want Wang Xiao to think that he was interfering with him too much.

"Hehe, good. There is still one month left for this matter. I have time to prepare, and I will guarantee that Hawking will be stunned by then. But, President Lin, why hasn't the funding for our Information Research Institute come down yet?"

Wang Xiao smiled, already had an idea about that public class in her heart, but changed the topic on her lips.

The Information Research Institute of Donghai University of Science and Technology has been approved for a week, and Wang Xiao also agreed to cooperate with the school, and the only thing left is to sign the contract. However, the first funding for the Information Research Institute has not yet been received.

just. He got news from Li Chengfeng. The two sides of Jinyuan Building have already negotiated a contract. The whole building will be sold to Wang Xiao personally for 2 billion in cash. If the installment payment is made, the price will be increased by 10 to 20%, depending on the installment period.

In terms of price, Wang Xiao has no problem. This is a relatively low price. According to Li Chengfeng, the owner of Jinyuan Building is in urgent need of funds recently. So it's a cheap sell.

However, he now wants to enrich Jinyuan Building as soon as possible.

Therefore, the establishment of the Information Research Institute is an imminent issue.

Principal Lin knew that Wang Xiao was very concerned about this matter, so he hurriedly agreed loudly and loudly: "Wang Xiao, don't worry. The funds for the Information Research Institute will be in place soon, tomorrow afternoon at the latest. The first tranche of funds is 100 million. The second payment depends on the situation, and it will be credited within half a month at the latest."

"It will be in place tomorrow. I want to re-plan the Information Research Institute, and 300 million is far from enough."

Wang Xiao said with certainty.

"But... didn't you say that 300 million would be enough for the time being?"

Principal Lin asked with some helplessness.

Every time he talks to Wang Xiao, it feels very exciting. Because in Wang Xiao's mouth, hundreds of millions of funds don't seem to be money, it feels as casual as the one or two yuan in the mouth of ordinary people.

Now when Wang Xiao said that the money was not enough, he was terrified.

Because there are many places where Donghai University of Science and Technology spends money, thousands of applications for entrepreneurship, and the Information Research Institute...

I just heard Wang Xiao say on the phone: "Principal, I want to build the fastest supercomputer in the world, do you think two to three hundred million is enough?"

"Fastest supercomputer? Faster than the one bigger than Defense Tech?"

Principal Lin asked in surprise, there was a hint of excitement in his voice, but there were not many doubts.

Because, Wang Xiao is now an authoritative figure in the computer field. No one dares to deny this.

So, without waiting for Wang Xiao's answer, he immediately asked, "How much will it cost?"

"five billion……"

Wang Xiao opened his mouth.

Principal Lin, who was standing upright, was frightened and sat down again. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He asked in surprise, "How much did you say? Is it 500 million, or 5 billion?"

"Principal, you heard me right, it's five billion. My goal is to do the best. Our Information Research Institute will become the most powerful computer research center in China in the future. It's not just the money to build supercomputers. , and many other expenses, just trust me."

Wang Xiao said angrily.

However, Principal Lin still felt terrified when he heard it.

If he hadn't known that Wang Xiao's magic software company was worth more than 20 billion yuan, he probably thought that Wang Xiao had the intention to swallow a sum of money on this project on purpose.

After all, the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, which has the world's fastest calculation speed and a major in national defense science and technology, costs only a few hundred million yuan, and should not exceed one billion yuan.

Even if we want to build a supercomputer that surpasses Tianhe-2, it doesn't need 5 billion, right?

Didn't the National University of Defense Technology turn supercomputers into a game of stacking processors? Shouldn't adding more processors be enough?

Principal Lin said with a wry smile: "Wang Xiao, I can't make the decision on this matter, it involves too much money."

Wang Xiao also smiled and said: "Principal Lin, let's take our time. I'm not in a hurry. There are still a lot of things in my company. Let's talk about it when we have a clue. Let's build the shelf of the Information Research Institute first. I won't talk to you first." You said, I'm at the company."

"Okay, Hawking will come to our school at that time, and I have to prepare for it. Let's talk about the supercomputer after your public class is over."

Principal Lin thought about it, and decided to wait until Wang Xiao became famous all over the world again and accumulated more capital for the school before he had the confidence to ask for money from above.

After all, Wang Xiao has now become a famous brand in the domestic scientific research field.

Wang Xiao walked into the Jinyuan Building under the escort of several security guards, and said to Principal Lin, "Okay, then I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, he smiled and nodded to a few serious and professional security guards. Without the help of these security guards, he would probably be surrounded by the dozen or so journalists stationed there again.

"Mr. Wang, I've selected a few candidates for you as your assistant. You can go and have a look."

Li Chengfeng and Zhang Xuewen came to the lobby on the first floor to greet Wang Xiao in person, expressing their respect for Wang Xiao, and Li Chengfeng immediately reported to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao nodded, took Li Chengfeng's three-point resume and did not read it immediately, but asked, "Are they all men?"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "They're all men."

General bosses will find female secretaries and assistants, so as to save face, not only because of seductiveness, but also because female assistants and secretaries handle things more carefully.

However, Wang Xiao was looking for men.

This also made Li Chengfeng and Zhang Xuewen happy for Wang Xiao's girlfriend Qin Yu.

It's hard to find such a good man who has money and hasn't gone bad.

Wang Xiao flipped through his resume and walked into the elevator with the two of them.

Ma Jianfeng: Tsinghua University Management Department postgraduate student, now 25 years old!

Wen Zheng: a master's student in the Computer Department of Zhejiang University, a doctoral candidate, now 26 years old!

Wang Cheng: A master's student in the Department of Physics of Beijing University, a doctoral candidate, now 27 years old!

The three of them are all absolutely top talents in the country. The schools they attend are also among the top three prestigious schools in the country, and they are all one of the ace majors of their respective schools. They can definitely get high-paying jobs wherever they go.

The computer science major of Zhejiang University has always been excellent, leading the country, and the physics department of Beijing University is ranked first in the country.

But……

Wang Xiao was puzzled. I recruited an assistant to help with some daily affairs. Why are you high-achieving students in science and engineering coming to join in the fun?

However, he still said to Li Chengfeng: "Call everyone to my office."

Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement, and then motioned for Zhang Xuewen to speak.

Because, Zhang Xuewen is now the general manager of Magic Software.

He looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Mr. Wang, I received a call from Google in the United States this morning. They are very interested in our magic voice assistant. Someone will come to our company tomorrow and want to have an interview with you."

"Hehe, I don't have time tomorrow, let them hang out."

Wang Xiao smiled, said relaxedly, and walked out of the elevator.

The bustling office also became quiet at this moment.

There were three quiet young men standing at the door of the office area. Except for a man in a suit who was more casual and calm, the other two seemed a little restrained.

These are the three people who came to apply for the job. (to be continued ~^~)
