Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 215 We really don’t have this experience!
Xu Qingshan did not expect so many people to come today.

Tian Gang and Wang Shicheng are here. We are going to formally discuss and decide which journal to submit to today, and they will definitely not be absent.

But when Xu Qingshan looked at the group of people in the room, three question marks appeared in his head.

Where did they come from?

What are you here for?

Am I a giant panda?

"Hey, Qingshan, you're here. You shouldn't be nervous with so many people around, right?"

As soon as Chen Dayue saw Xu Qingshan come in, he hurried over to comfort the young man. After all, the young man might not have seen such a scene.

"I'm not nervous."

"But, what are they here for? Aren't they here to discuss where to publish my paper? Or did I go to the wrong place?"

Xu Qingshan glanced at these people boldly.

He didn't know many of the people here, both old and young. He even saw two senior schoolmates who had just boldly asked him for his contact information on the road, but ran away on their bicycles when they didn't get it.

It seems that not only teachers but also graduate students came today.

"Oh, these people are right."

Chen Dayue touched his head embarrassedly.

"At first, we just called all the teachers in the School of Mathematics on campus. But someone was picking up a graduate student today, so he brought his graduate student along. When others saw someone bringing a graduate student, they also called several doctoral students they supervised."

Tian Gang walked over, and Lao Deng looked a little helpless.

"This is a rare event for our Peking University School of Mathematics in a century. Everyone wants to broaden their horizons and meet you. I wanted to let them go, but then I thought, maybe you can inspire them. Why, kid, you're not afraid, are you?"

Tian Gang raised his eyebrows at Xu Qingshan, and his meaning was very obvious.

"Next time, tell me in advance."

Xu Qingshan curled his lips.

"I have to look good before I come over here. Where is my position?"

"Well, you are the protagonist, so of course you should sit in the main seat. Come on, follow me."

Tian Gang pulled Xu Qingshan away from Chen Dayue, who was staring at him eagerly.

Chen Dayue stood there, feeling the tone of the conversation between Xu Qingshan and Tian Gang, with a look of confusion on his face.

"When did this guy become so familiar with Tian Yuan?"

He returned to his seat with a suspicious look on his face.

But when he saw Xu Qingshan and Tian Gang sitting in the main seats in the conference room and chatting enthusiastically with Wang Shicheng, Chen Dayue always felt that something was moving away from him.

Damn intuition!
The conference room is not too big, with a traditional long table in the middle.

Xu Qingshan sat in the main seat, with Academicians Tian Gang and Wang Shicheng sitting on his left and right. His computer was connected to the projector.

Xu Qingshan finally understood everything.

Those old guys who had dinner with me last night had bad intentions.

This is not a discussion meeting, it's clearly a lecture!

Looking at the conference table, only associate professors were qualified to sit at the table. Even the young lecturers could only put their notebooks on their knees and were not even worthy of having a table. They sat behind the professors, looking at him with a look of piety and envy.

Those graduate students, mainly doctoral students, were three chairs away from the edge of the table. Some of them had no place to sit and had to stand aside to listen.

As for it?
Isn’t it just a small twin prime conjecture?
Xu Qingshan cleared his throat.

"Thank you very much for coming to this discussion, but I didn't know there would be so many people here until I got here, so I won't say anything more."

Xu Qingshan was not nervous.

He can be as casual as if he were at home in this kind of internal meeting of the School of Mathematics.

The big guys here are all our own people, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Tian Gang glanced at Xu Qingshan beside him, remembering how this kid behaved when he sent him home last night, and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

But he remembered the kind but aloof image he had maintained in the School of Mathematics for a long time, and he forced himself to suppress the smile, thinking about many sad things.

Wang Shicheng didn't have much of an image. He sat happily beside Xu Qingshan and wrote.

"I received some emails last night. Today's meeting is mainly to discuss which publisher is more suitable for my paper. After the decision is made, I will briefly explain my proof process to you. I hope it can bring you some inspiration."

As Xu Qingshan spoke, he opened his email.

When I opened it, the mailbox contained 99+.

"Uh, there are a lot. Let's just take a quick look."

Xu Qingshan didn't expect that after he had a good sleep, he would receive so many emails. There were only about ten last night, but after taking a quick look, he found that most of them were from journals that have some strength but are not top journals. They sent out invitations very enthusiastically, and some journals even sent several emails in a row.

But in these messy journals, the sharp-eyed blind students still found the highlights.

"It's the Annals of Mathematics! Does the Annals of Mathematics actively send invitations to people? Is that true?"

"There's also the Journal of the American Mathematical Society down there!"

"Journal of Mathematics, is this how talented people are treated? Oh my god!"

"IHES Mathematical Journal? What kind of journal is this?"

The email in Xu Qingshan's mailbox instantly caused the conference room to be noisy and full of discussions.

Not only the students were surprised, but the teachers were also surprised.

Not many people are invited to submit articles by the four top journals. Most of them submit articles on their own initiative and then go through the screening process.

Generally speaking, only those problems that are recognized as top-level problems in the field and are considered extremely difficult when expanded will be favored by the four top journals. Many people will never see such a thing in their lifetime.

But now, thanks to Qingshan, they saw it.

However, looking at the young boy who looked a little immature sitting between the two academicians, they felt that all their years of studying had been in vain.

This is really dreamy.

According to Dean Wang, Xu Qingshan is just a prospective college student and has not even entered Peking University yet, but he has already started generating income for the university in the academic field.

As for myself
Does creating academic garbage for Kyoto University count as generating revenue?

“I don’t have a very deep understanding of the four major journals, so I still need some advice from teachers with more experience in this area.”

Xu Qingshan said with a smile, and then opened the paper he published on arXiv.

After he said this, everyone present fell silent.

No.

Opinion?

What advice can you give on this?
Few of us here have published papers in the four top journals.

Don’t even mention sending it. It’s just a blessing if you can understand it.

Are you asking us for our opinions now?
The meeting room was eerily silent. After a while, there was still no response. Tian Gang could only cough twice.

"Let me first tell you my understanding."

"Xiao Xu's paper itself is of high quality, so we will not consider JAMS (Journal of the American Mathematical Society) and IM (Information Technology in Mathematics) for now. Relatively speaking, it should be placed in these two old journals to better reflect his academic status."

“As for whether to choose Journal of Mathematics or Annals of Mathematics, I personally prefer to publish in Annals.”

Tian Gang was speaking, and the people in the audience were listening.

They are here purely for the audience.

Is this something they can hear?

While Tian Gang was helping Xu Qingshan to criticize JAMS and IM for being worthless, they just wanted to put on a fake business smile.

What people despise and don't want is what they try their best to get.

If we really want to say who has the ability to publish papers in JAMS and IM, based on the current research level, among the people present, I guess only Tian Gang can say that he can definitely achieve it.

For everyone else, it is difficult; the only difference is the size.

Of course, this is also because not all teachers in the School of Mathematics are here now. If Professor Zhu Xiaohua were here at this time, it would be easier to say, as he has also published in the "Journal of Mathematics".

"Because according to the current time, the annual can be published earlier and the name can be decided earlier."

Tian Gang analyzed carefully.

"Also, the Annals of Mathematics is more inclined towards the American system, which will be more advantageous and convenient when it comes to winning some awards from the American Mathematical Society in the future. Now that Qingshan's membership of the American Mathematical Society has been expedited, it will be more appropriate to publish the Annals."

“Adding to the changes in the past two years, the annual journal has a greater influence than the journal.”

"Of course, the above are just my personal suggestions. If you have anything to add, I hope you can speak up."

Tian Gang finished speaking.

Wang Shicheng continued to write on the side, while the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, in order to avoid a dull silence, Chen Dayue spoke up.

"I think Tian Yuan is right."

"I also think what Tian Yuan said makes sense."

"Me too."

It will be much easier if someone takes the lead.

The main reason is that everyone really has no experience in this area!
"Then let's go with the Annals of Mathematics."

Xu Qingshan made the decision immediately, and the "Annals of Mathematics" also sent him an invitation email. In the email, the editor-in-chief also praised Xu Qingshan's amazing ideas with effusive words.

"Then let me briefly tell you about my thesis."

Xu Qingshan sighed helplessly.

I have just opened the first page of the paper.

Xu Qingshan had already seen the confusion in the eyes of the graduate students sitting on both sides of the conference room.

Compared with discussing submission experience, everyone was more interested in explaining the paper.

But this excitement only lasted for ten minutes.

That’s not because Xu Qingshan’s talk was too boring.

It’s just that most of them can only last for ten minutes. Looking at the professors who can sit at the table and listen with such fascination and relish, you will know where the problem lies.

About half an hour later.

Xu Qingshan stopped.

"I have simply explained the whole idea. Do you all understand it?"

Xu Qingshan didn't look at the professors at the table. He could tell from their eyes that they were eager to ask him questions.

He was looking at the classroom of young people and graduate students.

but.

When Xu Qingshan saw this group of young people who were much older than him, he first shook his head and then nodded.
