Chapter 138: Conquering Australia
After staying in Paris for nearly a week, Qiao Yu returned to the capital.

Although he went abroad, excluding the journey from the airport to the hotel, Qiao Yu actually only spent about three hours outdoors in Paris.

The conference closing ceremony is on the morning of the last day.

After having lunch at the hotel at noon, Tian Yanzhen, probably considering that Qiao Yu had finally had a chance to go abroad and had never been out for a walk, took Qiao Yu out for a walk with many professors.

It was obvious that this was not the professors' first visit to Paris, so there was no need to find someone to show them the way. They directly took Qiao Yu along the Avenue Pigalle in the 8th arrondissement of Paris outside the hotel and walked to the Champs-Elysées.

Knowing that Qiao Yu wanted to buy a gift for her mother, she stayed on the Champs-Elysées for some time.

After choosing and choosing, he finally bought two watches, planning to give one to Qiao Xi and one to Xia Keke.

Qiao Yu originally wanted to buy a gift for Mr. Yuan as well, but was persuaded by Tian Yanzhen.

All he said was that after his paper was published, he should give Mr. Yuan a copy of the sample issue that Ann.Math sent him.

Qiao Yu had no choice but to deal with this.

Because although he bought the gift, the money was given by Tian Yanzhen.

After the purchase, we followed the professors’ guidance and walked along Avenue Montaigne, passed the Seine River, looked at the Eiffel Tower from afar, and then returned to the hotel.

Yes, I didn't even go to take a closer look. Because according to a fellow professor, someone had his phone robbed for taking photos here. Because of distrust of the local security, everyone suggested just taking a look.

To be honest, this journey was indeed very disorienting, because the free air by the river was not only not sweet enough, but also not very pleasant to smell.

Before coming to Paris, Qiao Yu had read some travel bloggers' guides and impressions, and always felt that they were a bit exaggerated. Paris is the capital of a developed country after all, and it was unlikely that there would be unpleasant smells floating in the air.

Not to mention that the Seine River was cleaned up at great expense last year for a grand event. But now it seems that the huge sum of money was probably wasted...

I never thought that I could be so free here...

People can still enjoy the right to urinate and defecate freely anywhere.

Besides being amazed, Qiao Yu felt that he had learned something new.

On the way back to the hotel, Qiao Yu asked in surprise: "Can't they make the public toilets free?"

The professor accompanying us jokingly said, "If you think about it this way, maybe this is a means of self-preservation. Next time the Germans drive tanks here, they may think Paris is too disgusting and simply bypass Paris and choose a southern route, such as going directly through the Alps and into Italy."

This sentence left Qiao Yu dumbfounded and also opened the mouths of the accompanying professors.

What is it about entering Portugal through Spain, opening up and controlling the Atlantic coast, ensuring the safety of the maritime supply line? What is it about strengthening control over Belgium and the Netherlands, consolidating the position in Western Europe, and then aiming at the English Channel...

A group of mathematicians instantly transformed themselves into strategists, helping Lao De with advice and coming up with more than ten strategic routes along the way.

The most terrifying thing is that they can still analyze it clearly and list the pros and cons of the route in detail... Well, each person starts at a general.

This probably gave Qiao Yu the feeling that if he was not good at geography, he was not worthy of learning mathematics.

The professors, who were usually gentle and polite, were surprisingly knowledgeable when discussing this, which only made Qiao Yu feel even more ashamed...

It seems that after returning home, he will not only have to make up for his math knowledge, but also the detailed geography of various countries, as well as various advanced war game knowledge. Otherwise, he will be embarrassed to stay in the math department of Yanbei University.

After returning to school, the first thing I did was to move.

In fact, the upstairs had already been renovated before he went to Paris for the algebraic geometry conference.

He also specifically asked the decoration master about the decoration plan.

The main work is roof waterproofing, toilet renovation, and adding two walls.

When he came back, the whole house had been renovated and all the things in the room had been moved upstairs.

As for the small room he had been in before, it became a storage room again.

After coming back, although very tired, Tian Yanzhen still came over for a walk.

The newly renovated room is pretty good. Although the room is still not big, it is still around 30 or 40 square meters, which is already a small suite with all the necessary facilities.

There is a corridor leading directly to the toilet at the back after entering the door. There is a door on the wall of the corridor, leading into a small study of more than ten square meters. There is another door in the study leading to the bedroom at the back.

It was much bigger than the small room downstairs, and most importantly, it completely met Mr. Yuan's requirements, with a toilet, study and bedroom separated, and open from north to south. The prerequisite was that the door connecting the study and bedroom was open.

The most important thing is that the lighting on the third floor is much better, and the room is bright and clear in the morning. The materials used are very good, and the windows have been opened for ventilation for a few days, so there is no odor in the room.

Let’s put it this way, with these living conditions, they are indeed better than many PhDs from Yanbei University.

After all, the dormitories at Yanbei University are really tight now. Many years ago, professional master's students no longer provide dormitories. Most doctoral students in the old campus can only live in double rooms. If you have special needs and want to live in a single room, you need to apply.

"Are you satisfied?" Tian Yanzhen asked.

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with the place downstairs, let alone here." Qiao Yu replied immediately.

Well, anyway, changing dormitories wasn’t his request.

It's okay to be spoiled by being favored, but Qiao Yu thinks it's not worth it to use it on a temporary residence.

Although he was the beneficiary, the request was made by his master.

"As long as you are satisfied, if you are not satisfied, I will be scolded again." Tian Yanzhen said with a smile and left.

Qiao Yu was not in a hurry to rest, but went to the express delivery station and took back the small banner he had specially ordered on Taobao for display and motivation. He hung it on the wall next to the study desk, on the wall facing the study door, which was very eye-catching.

As soon as you enter the study, you can see this red flag and the ten big words "Study for the rise of Chinese mathematics!" and that feeling comes up immediately.

At least Qiao Yu looked very satisfied.

He immediately took out his phone and took a picture of the room. He was going to post it on Weibo, but gave up before he even opened Weibo because Qiao Yu thought the timing was not right.

Because he will attend IMO in July, the math experts at the conference said that he might be complained about if he attends IMO, so it is best to keep a low profile at this time.

But he still couldn't help but send a photo to Qiao Xi on WeChat.

"Look, Mom, at the request of Master Shi and under the auspices of Director Tian, ​​I moved after I came back. Now I am also a man who owns a suite in Beijing."

"Oh, that's great. Was the banner on the wall that says "Study for the Rise of Chinese Mathematics" made by your instructor?"

Sure enough, the flag was so eye-catching that it was impossible to ignore it.

Qiao Yu replied: "Haha, I ordered it myself on Taobao. It's very cheap, just over 80 yuan. When I become famous, this place will be the former residence of the great mathematician Qiao Yu. I will sign my name on this flag, and it will have collection value. Maybe I can even sell it for auction and make tens or even millions!"

"If you want to brag, be more generous. Why are you so reserved even in your dreams? One million is too little. Last time I saw online, Einstein's manuscript was sold for more than 10 million euros, so your flag must be worth at least 20 million euros!"

"Mom, sorry to bother you! Let me get some sleep first and have a bolder dream!"

"Go! Have a good rest."

Qiao Yu put away his phone and sighed. Qiao Xi always had a thousand ways to make him feel bored.

Forget it, let’s take a rest first.

……

In fact, whether this flag will be really valuable in the future is another matter, but it definitely hit the soft spot of the two bosses.

Especially when Yuan Zhengxin came to Qiao Yu to see the new suite the next day, he stood under the flag for a long time.

He even reached out and touched the material of the flag. Qiao Yu even felt that the old man's eyes were a little moist.

This made Qiao Yu feel a little nervous for a moment, and he wondered if he was going too far.

Fortunately, after the old man turned around, he just patted him on the shoulder and said with a slightly choked voice: "Okay! You must have this ambition. This is the ambition of several generations!"

Well, you can see that the old man is still very satisfied.

As long as you are satisfied, the more than 80 yuan will not be spent in vain.

The old man was invited to sit down in the house. Unexpectedly, he brought a newspaper and handed it to Qiao Yu.

"Have you ever been interviewed in France?"

"Oh, yes, a reporter named Zhang interviewed me."

"Well, it's been reported in the newspaper. You are really good at talking, kid." The old man sighed.

Qiao Yu took the newspaper and found that his interview took up a large page.

Qiao Yu also roughly understood why Yuan Lao said he was good at talking. The reporter wrote down the last question that even he hated.

But the meaning is actually very positive.

"… Just like Qiao Yu said, we don't need to care about topics like the so-called century-long reconciliation. The future of the Chinese mathematics community as a whole will surely be bright…"

Well, at least the reporter did not misinterpret his meaning, Qiao Yu felt relieved.

So after reading the newspaper, Qiao Yu raised his head with a sunny smile on his face.

"It's not that I can talk, I really think so, Grandpa, isn't it right?"

It was obvious that the old man was not angry at all and he always maintained a warm smile.

"Yes, everything you said is right."

Just like last time, Mr. Yuan didn't stay long. After confirming that Qiao Yu's accommodation environment had indeed been qualitatively improved and chatting with Qiao Yu about his experiences in Paris, he was ready to go back.

Before leaving, the old man asked Qiao Yu a question that made him feel ashamed.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow is Children's Day. Have you thought about how to celebrate it?"

"Um, Grandpa, I'm sixteen years old. Can I still celebrate Children's Day?"

"Why can't I pass it? Article 18 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states that a child is any person under the age of , unless the applicable law makes the age of majority earlier. Before an adult, everyone is a child. What, are you an adult?"

Mr. Yuan said loudly.

Qiao Yu immediately accepted this explanation and took the initiative to ask: "How about we go to the park? The kind where we can ride roller coasters? I didn't go there much when I was a kid."

"Okay, I'll go with you! But you're not allowed to ride the roller coaster, it's too dangerous. You can ride the other less dangerous rides."

……

Well, Qiao Yu felt that if he was in high school and had to write an essay after Children's Day, he would have a lot of material.

The title is "My academician grandfather accompanies me to visit the park". If this is submitted for an essay contest and fails to win a prize, it must be because the judges are blind.

On Children's Day, Mr. Yuan actually took a whole day off and took Qiao Yu to Happy Valley in Beijing with his traveling staff for a day of fun.

Both meals were eaten outside.

Although Children's Day this year happened to fall on a Sunday, it still made Mr. Yuan's entourage amazed.

Mr. Yuan was recognized several times and happily took photos with several children.

As for Qiao Yu, he didn't care what others thought. Anyway, he had a very happy Children's Day.

He basically tried every ride in Happy Valley except the roller coaster.

Although the weather in Beijing is good today, Children's Day falls on a weekend and the park is crowded with people.

But with his master around, he naturally wouldn't be kept waiting and he would directly buy the fast track for each project.

Because Mr. Yuan was recognized, the fast-track service fees for several projects were confiscated.

There were also parents who learned that Mr. Yuan was taking his grandson out to play today, and they were so enthusiastic that they insisted on letting Qiao Yu cut in line, and he couldn't even wait in line...

Really, if Qiao Yu hadn't gone out for a walk, he wouldn't have known that his own master-grandfather was so prestigious among ordinary people.

But he really had a happy day on Children's Day.

I tried almost all the projects and took a bunch of photos, including more than ten photos with Mr. Yuan.

When I got home in the evening, I sent all the photos to Qiao Xi.

The friend group also selected a few photos of the trip to Happy Valley and photos with Mr. Yuan and sent them over.

The caption reads: "Today, my grandpa took me to Happy Valley in Beijing. It was really fun. When you come, I will take you there too."

I received several exclamation marks, ellipsis, and some shameless replies.

For example, Yu Yongjun directly replied: "Brother, we can just be their fathers, why do we have to be their grandfathers? It makes you look old for nothing."

Of course, these are just for fun. Qiao Yu's main focus is on learning basic subjects.

This time, Qiao Yu was more organized. He not only referred to the books given to him by Director Tian and Mr. Yuan, but also referred to the courses arranged by the undergraduate departments of mathematics in several schools.

Not only Yanbei and Huaqing, but also the undergraduate course arrangements and textbooks used by top universities such as Princeton, Harvard, Bonn University, and Stanford University.

To make up for the basics, Qiao Yu feels that it is necessary to systematically study the undergraduate courses, especially those formulated by these famous universities.

This is enough to ensure that he does not miss any basic mathematics.

He chose these schools because he didn't need to search online. He could just send an email to the professors who had given him their contact information.

Not only did he obtain the undergraduate course schedules of these well-known universities, he also obtained some textbooks used by major universities and the final examination papers given by professors in recent years.

Especially Lott Dugan and Peter Schultz.

The math test papers sent to him included almost all the final exams for undergraduates in the past five years, as well as some thinking projects and even essays required by the teacher.

Peter Schultz also mailed him several sets of mathematics textbooks that he approved of.

This made Qiao Yu unable to find any reason to slack off, and he could only say that these professors were too enthusiastic.

Of course, June is also the harvest season.

For example, his paper has finally been published in Ann.Math. Not only has he received a sample copy, but he can also search for it in the Yanbei University document library.

Another paper on conjugate ridge singularities has entered the typesetting process and is expected to be officially published next month.

On the other hand, I am communicating with Dennis and Pan Jingyuan every day, and their papers have basically been revised.

The previous five papers have now become four, and the last paper on the generalization of the Ambidexterity theorem has been merged into his paper.

Because the solution given by Qiao Yu has essentially proved the global applicability of the Ambidexterity Theorem, which ensures global consistency in the context of algebraic geometry.

The four papers combined have been reduced from more than 800 pages to more than 600 pages.

It appears more concise and clear.

The next question is where to publish.

I have received a lot of benefits from Lott Dugan during this period, so Qiao Yu also made a suggestion and published Ann.Math, and it was passed unanimously.

Apparently, no one really cared much about where the paper was published. So they just let Qiao Yu do them a favor.

The paper was submitted directly. This time, Qiao Yu submitted it himself, which was considered as a personal experience of the journal's backend submission system.

However, this time the corresponding author's name was Yuan Zhengxin, and he was the first author, and the second author was Pan Jingyuan.

He has discussed this with Director Tian.

Because it was Mr. Yuan who introduced Professor Pan to him and gave him detailed guidance, Professor Pan was very annoyed at that time.

There has to be some compensation at this time.

However, correspondingly, other papers also have the names of the third and fourth authors, which are also based on academic rigor.

Because some of the content inside also uses the mathematical ideas provided by Qiao Yu.

As for Professor Li's project at Huaqing University, Qiao Yu did not continue to conduct in-depth research.

The most critical problem has been solved, and Qiao Yu feels that it is only a matter of time before results are achieved. There is no need for him to take over the show.

So the main theme of the whole June for Qiao Yu was still reading books, learning basic knowledge and doing papers.

Of course, Qiao Yu also didn't forget about Xia Keke.

In late June, after seeing the news on Yanbei University’s official website that registration for this year’s summer math and science camp for middle school students had opened, Qiao Yu went to find Tian Yanzhen.

However, Tian Yanzhen did not speak for him, but only gave him the number of Professor Luo from the School of Mathematics, who was in charge of the summer camp review.

Qiao Yu didn't feel any psychological burden, so he just called and mentioned the matter.

Then he added her on WeChat and sent Xia Keke's information to Professor Luo, and Qiao Yu no longer cared about the matter.

Two weeks later, he received a call from Xia Keke.

"Brother, I was really selected for the Yanbei University summer camp. Did you speak up for me?"

"Ah? Registration for the Yanbei University summer camp has already started? Oh no, I forgot about this. But it's good that you were selected. It means you are strong enough and you don't need my help to say hello."

"You must be lying to me!" "Why would I lie to you? I really forgot. By the way, what was your ranking in the last exam?"

"Hmm... 21st in all subjects, 17th in elective subjects."

"Look, this is it! What does it mean to be ranked 21st in the grade of Changjun headquarters? Most of his body has already entered Huaqing and Yanbei! Isn't it normal to pass the assessment?"

"but……"

"No buts. Oh, by the way, my mother is planning to come to Beijing to see me. You might as well come with her. We can go back to Star City together then."

"Auntie is going to the capital too? That's great."

"Well, okay, then I'll hang up."

"it is good!"

If this matter is arranged properly, Qiao Yu July is destined to have a fulfilling life.

He even discussed all the itinerary arrangements with Director Tian and Mr. Yuan.

This year's IMO is from July 18 to July 26. He still went to participate as usual.

The delegation is expected to depart on the 16th, arrive in Australia on the 18th, and return home on the 26th. After returning, the Yanbei University Mathematics Science Summer Camp will open in two days.

This year's schedule was from July 7 to August 29, a total of four days. After the summer camp was over, he could take Qiao Xi and Xia Keke to play in Beijing for two days, and then return to Xingcheng for a half-month summer vacation.

Wait until September to report to Yanbei University and officially enroll.

After discussing with Tian Yanzhen, Qiao Yu decided to transfer his academic record to the gifted class normally.

However, Qiao Yu does not have to attend classes. Instead, he will submit a written application and study plan to the school, and accept the assessment of his grades and abilities in various subjects by the department.

As long as you have reached the required credits, you can directly report to the Academic Affairs Office for graduation and transfer to graduate school.

To put it simply, Qiao Yu can apply for a separate examination at any time according to the teaching content of the gifted class. The examination results will be included in the file and system like those of other students, and the credits and grade points will be calculated.

If Qiao Yu had confidence in himself, he could finish the four-year courses of the Elite Class in half a year or even less, get his diploma and degree certificate directly, and officially start the joint training program of the two major research centers of Yanbei and Huaqing.

However, Qiao Yu was not in a hurry to plan for himself. He roughly estimated that with his learning efficiency and a solid foundation, it would be better to plan for a year for his undergraduate studies.

As for the doctoral stage, you can speed up appropriately. As long as you have a solid foundation, you can write a sufficient paper and graduate directly when you become an adult.

At that time, the identity of a professor was still useful. Of course, it was not just for being Qiao Xi's teacher. It was mainly because it gave him more freedom in his actions.

Anyway, this is the plan. Qiao Yu didn't think too much about the future.

But in early July, there was another surprise.

It was very strange. After Qiao Yu finished reading the book and was having dinner at night, he suddenly received a text message from the bank reminding him that there was a large transfer on his card, totaling 136.7 million.

Although Qiao Yu liked money very much, he was still a little confused when someone transferred money to him so suddenly.

So he quickly took a screenshot of the transfer and sent it directly to Tian Yanzhen via WeChat.

"Director Tian, ​​I suddenly got an extra income just now. What's going on?"

Qiao Yu didn't have to wait long before Tian Yanzhen called.

"That money should be the consulting fee paid to you by Professor Zhang's research team. He asked me for your bank card number and information a few days ago."

"professor Zhang?"

"You forgot that I asked you to help with the new cobalt-based catalyst project. Your consulting fee should be two million, but when the project team transferred the money to you, they paid the taxes on your behalf. You should be able to find it in your personal income tax next month."

Qiao Yu remembered it instantly after hearing this.

Somewhat surprised.

He remembered that the question was quite simple, so he just spent a day doing some random calculations, and he was able to get two million in consulting fees?

"what?"

"Don't think the tax is too high. Paying taxes according to the law is an honorable thing. And your situation is very special, so it's hard to evade taxes. After all, you are not yet an adult, and paying taxes in other ways will cause a lot of trouble, so it's best to use the model of occasional labor remuneration."

"No, it doesn't matter whether there is tax or not. But isn't two million a bit too much?"

"Haha, Professor Zhang said that you saved the research team at least two months of time, and the results were very good. He also asked me to thank you very much. Okay, the money has been transferred to you. You can spend it as you wish. Just don't tell anyone about it."

"Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it. But if Professor Zhang needs help with a project next time, I'm still willing to go."

"Don't just dream. Such horizontal projects with plenty of money are hard to come by. If it's a vertical research project, even if you help, you'll just be listed as an author on the paper and get a few thousand yuan in labor fees. Your current task is to study with peace of mind, and don't rush to make money. I'm dead."

After saying that, Tian Yanzhen simply hung up the phone, which also put an end to Qiao Yu's thoughts.

Well, it turns out that money is not as easy to make as imagined. However, Qiao Yu was still a little shocked to find that he could get 2 million yuan in labor fees just by helping with the calculations.

Although Senior Brother Chen helped him calculate that if he got all the thesis bonuses and scholarships from the school, he might be able to earn a million a year.

But after all, the money has not been seen yet.

The 136.7 million has actually been deposited into his bank card, and he has also paid 63.3 in taxes.

This also means that his personal assets have exceeded the 160 million mark!
This was definitely something Qiao Yu had not thought of before coming to Yanbei University.

When he came, he had more than 250,000 yuan in his card, and he basically has not used any money since then.

There are still six figures in Huaqing's card. Although the meal card in Yanbei is not that exaggerated, there is a fixed amount of 3,000 yuan deposited into it every month, and it has never been used up.

When he finally went out, it was not his turn to spend money. There was always someone around him who paid the bill for him.

Including the two watches he bought in France and planned to give them to Qiao Xi and Xia Keke after they arrived, Tian Yanzhen did not take his money afterwards.

And he still has a lot of money outside, for example, with Senior Brother Chen and his alma mater.

If you add all this up, it would be more than two million.

Although this amount of money seems to be completely insignificant to many people on the Internet, it is definitely a huge sum for Qiao Yu now.

After all, he had never seen so much money before.

If we ignore his lofty ideals, he could live a wealthy life for several years even if he returned to Star City and did nothing.

The mood is naturally very good.

Although Qiao Yu felt that he had nothing to spend money on for the time being, this income at least meant that he was one step closer to his ideal.

The only thing that made Qiao Yu depressed was that the interest rates on fixed deposits were terribly low these days, and he didn't know when he might need the money.

He didn't want to touch funds, stocks and other things that were beyond his control, so he simply opened a smart seven-day notice deposit.

The interest rate is better than nothing, but it is stable and flexible. You can withdraw it whenever you need it.

The deposit of the money into his card was like a signal, and things started to happen one after another.

The next day, he was pulled into the group of participants in this year's IMO by Professor Zhou, the leader of this IMO.

Apparently he was the last one to be pulled into the group because he was at the end of the list.

This is true.

This group was established during the second training session after CMO, but Zhou Liang never added Qiao Yu to the group.

This was also what Tian Yanzhen requested. Qiao Yu didn't need to participate in many things next, for fear that the content of the group chat would disturb Qiao Yu's study plan.

But now that we are about to set off, it is natural for Qiao Yu to return to the team.

To be honest, no one, including the team leader Zhou Liang, was sure whether Qiao Yu would be able to play in Australia this time.

After all, no one has ever encountered such a situation that a registered IMO contestant would have the opportunity to give an opening speech at a world-class mathematicians' conference before the competition.

Not only have I never encountered it, I can't even think about it.

Especially for the team leader, Professor Zhou Liang of Yanbei University, the deputy leader, Professor Zhang Zhuowei of the Academy of Sciences of Huaqing University, and the observer Fu Shaojie of Shuangdan University, the most embarrassing situation is that although they are all professors, when it comes to academic achievements, they seem to be inferior to the sixteen-year-old Qiao Yu.

Although the number of published papers is certainly more than Qiao Yu's, the quality is incomparable.

For example, none of the three had ever given a 60-minute opening speech at a world-class academic conference, nor had they had time to publish an article in the four major mathematics journals.

Neither of them has had the opportunity to appear on the central media's 7 o'clock news.

He has never even appeared in the official media newspapers.

It's obvious that this team is not easy to lead.

And that seems to be the case.

As soon as Qiao Yu entered the group, he said "Hello everyone", and a group of young contestants started to make a noise.

Yu Yongjun was the first to jump out and sent an expression saying "Boss, please have tea", and then everyone took over.

As an observer, Fu Shaojie could pretend not to see it, but Team Leader Zhou naturally had to speak.

Well, to be honest, Zhou Liang almost sent out the same expression just now, but fortunately he realized that it was wrong and held back.

"Okay, everyone be quiet. Now all the members going to IMO are here. I will send the schedule of this trip to the group in the evening. There are a few things I want to emphasize to everyone first.

First of all, it is about discipline. We are representing our country in this competition, so we must pay special attention to our words and actions. We must show the good image of our team and ensure that we concentrate during the competition..."

As usual, I emphasized the key points of this competition in the group, and then sent the arrangements and regulations issued by the organizing committee to the group.

Zhou Liang made the final summary.

"Okay, now everyone should get ready for the competition. Pay special attention to your diet in the next few days, and report to me immediately if you feel any discomfort.

Finally, I hope everyone can relax and do their best. We have worked together for so long, and now it is time to show your strength. No matter what the final result is, I believe each of you will be the best! "

……

The big group became quiet, but the friend group became lively.

Gong Jiatao: "Well, let's be honest, Boss Qiao, you haven't given up on IMO yet? Do you really have the nerve to go to Australia with us?"

Qiao Yu: "Why am I embarrassed to go? For your information, the IMO requirement is that any high school student under the age of 20 can go."

Gong Jiatao: "But you have already given a top-level report at a world-class mathematician conference! You still want to compete with us for the gold medal. Is that appropriate?"

Yu Yongjun: "Well, brother, although I firmly support you to participate in the competition. But if you go on stage, it will feel like using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

Qiao Yu: "I am not a cannon, and I don't allow you to call yourself a mosquito!"

Yu Wei: "Qiao Yu, have you ever thought about how embarrassing it would be if you failed in the IMO and didn't even get a bronze medal?"

Qiao Yu: "Do you think this is possible? And even if I don't get the bronze medal, who do you think would dare to question my level? The judges on the scene?"

……

Directly one against three...

While leaving his friends speechless, Qiao Yu actually felt bored.

He never expected that even his own people thought there was no need for him to participate in the competition.

However, Qiao Yu felt that this probably meant that the psychological trauma he brought to his friends was not enough. He had to work harder.

After all, if everyone is afraid of him, they would not dare to refute any of his decisions.

But there's no rush.

We have to wait until this IMO is over and his friends come to Yanbei.

We can't let them lose their mindset before a world championship like this. The manager will probably cut him with a knife that week.

But no matter what, IMO Qiao Yu felt that he still tried his best to participate. Even if he was complained about, he would still fight for his rights.

The IMO list had been submitted long ago, and he went to attend the World Algebraic Geometry Congress only after he was approved. Why wasn't he allowed to participate?
After all, everyone needs a gift to say goodbye to innocence as they grow up. Qiao Yu thinks an IMO gold medal is pretty good.

It can be considered as giving an explanation to the good guy.

This is the route that the good guy planned for him!
……

Unlike going to France, this time I went to Australia with an electronic visa which was much more convenient.

However, this trip to Australia's Gold Coast was different from the last time. Not only did I need to transfer, but the long flight was not a wide-body aircraft.

Although it was also first class, it was not as comfortable as last time. But fortunately, I was surrounded by people of the same age this time.

It turns out that Qiao Yu has extensive experience in dealing with people of all ages.

Although he certainly didn’t give everyone a very good impression during the last training camp, and he often argued with people in the friend group.

But after the IMO gathering, everyone met offline. Qiao Yu didn't put on airs at all. He quickly became close to everyone, just like when he was in Class 13.

Qiao Yu always felt that students were the easiest group to deal with, even those with eccentric personalities like Yu Wei.

People always need to go through experiences to grow up, no matter how high their IQ is. Children who are raised under the protection of a loved one are mostly naive.

Qiao Yu felt the same way.

Looking back now, I realize that he oversimplified many things when he was a child.

And the most comforting thing for Qiao Yu when they met again this time was that everyone respected him.

He didn't need to think of any tricks to make these guys curb their arrogance, everyone listened to him. In fact, many times his words were more effective than those of Team Leader Zhou.

In short, everything went smoothly before arriving at the Gold Coast, the venue for this IMO.

But after arriving at the competition venue and meeting up with team leader Zhou who had arrived earlier, the thing that Qiao Yu was most worried about happened naturally.

For the contestants, their IMO journey began on July 18th, but in fact, the IMO board of directors and the leaders in charge of this IMO had already arrived on the 14th.

And began presiding over the jury.

The jury's preliminary work mainly involves selecting the final topics for the competition from the question bank submitted by various countries, and translating these topics into various languages.

And formulate a unified scoring standard before the formal examination to ensure that the scoring standards of different countries are consistent.

This is also where the problem lies.

Although the jury is not responsible for reviewing the qualifications of participating students from various countries, this is the responsibility of the selection and organizing agencies of each country or region.

But Qiao Yu's reputation was indeed too great. When the leaders of other national teams saw that Qiao Yu was on the list of the Chinese team, they expressed some incredible emotions to this year's directors.

So just after the Chinese delegation arrived, before they had time to rest for long, team leaders Zhou Liang and Qiao Yu were invited by the IMO to attend a closed meeting of the board of directors.

This is probably a reception of extremely high standards.

……

When Qiao Yu received the notice, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, when he and Zhou Liang walked into the conference room and saw a few familiar guys, he knew that what Professor Delini said had come true.

They had just met at the World Conference on Algebraic Geometry in Paris not long ago, and Qiao Yu even remembered receiving the other party's business card.

"Hi, Qiao Yu, is it really you? I didn't expect to see you here again after only two months."

"Yes, Professor Smith, I didn't expect that either. Are you also a member of the board of directors?"

"Board of Directors? No, no, no, it should be Steering Committee. The IMO Steering Committee's election mechanism is to select additional representatives from the three previous sessions. Last year's meeting happened to be held in the UK, so you happened to see me."

Qiao Yu's acquaintance explained with a smile.

Zhou Liang next to him also greeted others.

There are also professors from Hua Xia on the steering committee of this year's Mathematical Olympiad, so Zhou Liang is also one of the members of the steering committee, because next year's IMO will be held in Hua Xia.

"Okay, the question we are discussing now is whether Qiao Yu should participate in this competition."

IMO Secretary General Christine from Denmark gave a simple explanation.

Okay, let’s get straight to the point.

So Qiao Yu asked curiously: "Can I ask first why you think I can't participate in this competition? I haven't violated any rules!"

　The eighth day of the November 11-word check-in...

　　PS: There are probably only one or two chapters left in the second volume...the third volume is about to set sail.

　　The content of the three volumes roughly includes five parts and nine frameworks. The main task is to build a new function space by reviewing the Langlands program, and to integrate the interdisciplinary fields of mathematics and verify new theories...

　　At the same time, it lays the groundwork for future applications.
