Chapter 202 High-level Reception

The next day, they departed from Philadelphia on time and returned to China on a special plane. Qiao Yu also realized how comfortable it was to travel on a large special plane.

The aircraft that undertook this mission was an Airbus ACJ380 modified from the 380, which was equipped with six luxurious bedrooms. Qiao Yu lived in a master suite, which had a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and an office.

What’s even more annoying is that the bed on the plane is temperature controlled…

In addition, there is a conference room, a gym, two restaurants, a small SPA room and a small cinema that can accommodate ten people on the plane...

Various detailed decorations are extremely luxurious.

Compared with the plane he took when he went to Australia to participate in the IMO competition, Qiao Yu felt that they were simply two different means of transportation.

A bunch of people were crowded in a small space. To go to the toilet, they had to walk sideways.

Unlike on this plane, he could even take a hot bath and then go to a spa...

How can this be called a rush? It's like a vacation...

"Uncle Zheng, how much does it cost to rent this plane for this trip?" After taking a tour on the plane, Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"The basic fee is about $23, but there are additional fees of about $10, so the one-way charter flight costs about $33."

"so cheap?"

"Really? What if the unit of measurement is US dollars?"

Qiao Yu suddenly realized that he had finally solved a conjecture, but it was only enough for him to fly like this four and a half times.

According to the captain's previous announcement that the flight would take about twelve hours, his bonus was only enough for 54 hours.

"This is still a friendly price. Generally, wealthy Saudis will not rent out this kind of private jet. Thanks to you, this is the first time for me to enjoy it." Zheng Xiwen added.

"It costs more than 30 US dollars to rent it once. How much does it cost to buy this plane and renovate it?" Qiao Yu sighed.

Zheng Xiwen smiled and said, "For now, don't even think about it. Let alone buying it, I found out that even if this plane doesn't fly once a year, the maintenance costs alone will be 50 million US dollars.

So the rental price of more than $300,000 is really a friendly price. It is not an exaggeration at all. This includes the cost of leaving the aircraft in the hangar, the cost of dispatching the crew, the cost of refueling, and the empty aircraft dispatch. This flight is completely unprofitable. "

Qiao Yu nodded and temporarily put the thought aside.

This is indeed a bit too extravagant. I understand what it means to be born in Rome.

This level of enjoyment is a bit excessive. Except for those people who really think money is just a number, let alone the 90% of ordinary people, even the top 10% of the pyramid, at least half of them are not qualified to think about it.

Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he needed to reflect on himself. His previous thoughts were too naive! He knew clearly that he still had to rely on the rich to make money!

If you really want to make money, you have to make money from these rich people. Compared with these rich people, the research institutes and universities in China are all miserable...

Even if we squeeze out all the money they can spend on computing in a year, how much can we get? But if we do business with those wealthy people, it will be different. If they can get a little bit of money through their fingers, it is estimated that they can surpass the spending power of those scientific research workers.

If he could grasp the pain points of the needs of the wealthy and make them eager to line up and pay, Qiao Yu couldn't even imagine how much he could earn in the future.

It’s true what they say, choosing a track is far more important than working hard!

So Qiao Yu began to reflect in seclusion throughout the voyage.

When he was working in the gaming industry, he knew that he had to hang out with the big brothers in order to make money. So how come he ignored the real big brothers when he was working in the mathematics world?

The previous behaviors and thinking patterns that were extremely disrespectful to rich big brothers must never be repeated.

Xiyu Technology Platform still needs to be established, but we should not think about making money from those poor people.

Help them more and collect more data. We still have to make the pie bigger first.

Whether it is quantum simulation or the development of lunar tourism described by the stingy Yu before, they are all good projects. They can just hit the pain points of the needs of the rich.

So we have to pay more attention to Old Yu's affairs. Let's give Old Yu a taste of the sweetness first. Even if the lunar tourism base is decades away, we have to prepare for it.

After all, he is still young. In twenty years, he will only be 37 years old, not even old enough to win the Fields Medal.

In addition, he had to learn some financial knowledge. If he wanted to design financial security technology, he couldn't be completely ignorant of the operation of finance.

As for the study of pure mathematics...

Well, Qiao Yu felt that he was still young, so he didn't need to be too anxious about it, and he could just go with the flow. After all, solving those math problems also required inspiration.

Anyway, there is still a project with Peter Schultz ahead, so Director Tian and Mr. Yuan will definitely not say anything.

And Qiao Xi helps him share the pressure.

As a son, he has already won the Fields Medal, so as a mother, he cannot be too lazy.

I've been studying for so long, but I still haven't achieved anything. It makes me angry. How can I step on Frank's head and do shit in the future?
Perfect……

In this way, when the plane arrived in Beijing, Qiao Yu had already perfected the future development plan in his mind.

As the plane began to land, Qiao Yu's phone started to ring with a series of messages.

You can’t blame Qiao Yu for being uncultured. He didn’t even turn off his phone when the plane landed.

Mainly according to Lao Zheng, this flight was operated according to Part 91 of the private flight rules, and there was no need to turn off mobile phones during takeoff and landing.

Most of them were from Philadelphia asking about his safety. The one that puzzled him the most was a text message from a carrier.

"Huaxia Publicity BU and Huaxia Science and Technology BU jointly awarded Qiao Yu the title of Outstanding Young Scientist. We hope that young people can learn from Qiao Yu and strive to become outstanding young scientists."

What is a surprise? This is it! Before I even got off the plane, I received a text message praising him.

It also states that it is a public welfare message from the operator. According to this, it is probably sent by the three major operators, which means that all Chinese people have probably received this message.

Whether people will pay attention to it is another matter, but it still makes people feel quite proud.

The plane finally landed and as it was moving slowly through the airport, Zheng Xiwen came directly to him.

"Well, I told you before that there will be a high-profile welcome ceremony when you get off the plane. Many leaders from Beijing and the ministries are here, and there will be a TV station recording it, so don't say anything."

"Like the ones on TV? There are so many people as soon as we get off the plane?" Qiao Yu asked curiously, then opened the curtains and looked outside.

But the plane was still moving slowly and nothing could be seen.

"It's almost the same. It depends on what TV you watch. This is a civilian airport after all, so it may not be that exaggerated." Zheng Xiwen answered uncertainly.

He also only found out about this three hours ago, but Qiao Yu had been locking himself in the bedroom, and he was too lazy to disturb Qiao Yu for such a trivial matter.

It would be fine if Qiao Yu was taking a rest, but after spending a long time with Qiao Yu, I heard him say that mathematicians' inspiration is very strange, and there is such a thing as sudden enlightenment.

It is said that the inspiration for solving the Riemann hypothesis came from an epiphany. So Zheng Xiwen felt that there was no need to disturb Qiao Yu for such a small matter.

It would be bad if he interrupted someone's inspiration while they were having an epiphany in the bedroom.

"So should I change into formal clothes?" Qiao Yu asked.

"It's up to you. Anyway, you are promoting yourself as a student in China. Wearing your current outfit will make you look more energetic."

……

The plane finally stopped and the cabin door opened. Qiao Yu walked out of the plane and found that today was indeed a big event.

What caught my eye was a large banner that was far more impressive than the one at Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School: "Welcome the youngest Fields Medal winner, Qiao Yu, a student from the Elite Class of the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, back to China and school!"

There is no doubt that this banner was most likely paid for by Yanbei University.

What made Qiao Yu feel even more confused was that there were two rows of what were probably senior elementary school students holding flowers to welcome him...

This specification is indeed a bit high.

After all, it is still summer vacation, and Qiao Yu feels that it is not easy to organize so many students. It requires some effort.

Behind the student lineup stood several rows of middle-aged and elderly people, who should be the leaders who came to pick us up at the airport.

Qiao Yu was so sharp-eyed that he actually saw Zhang Tiejun, the principal of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, and the good guy.

Although the two of them were standing in the back row, with only their heads showing, they stood out among a group of people he didn't know very well. To be honest, this detail really touched Qiao Yu, but it also made him suddenly think of something, and then he felt a little guilty.

It's over. When the good guy took him to Xiaozhou to participate in the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition, he promised the good guy that if he could win the Fields Medal in the future, he would definitely take the good guy with him to receive the award.

But more than a year later he actually forgot it!
This made Qiao Yu feel very guilty. The good guy was such a good person, but he actually forgot about him at the critical moment.

Although he did not forget the nice guy in his acceptance speech for the Fields Medal, he did not invite the nice guy to the scene to watch him receive the award, right?
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get down!"

Zheng Xiwen, who was still following behind Qiao Yu, clearly felt that Qiao Yu was in a bad mood and immediately reminded him.

Well, that's all I can do. Fortunately, he's still young. If nothing goes right, he'll win another Fields Medal. Next time, I must remember to invite the good guy...

Based on his understanding of the Fields Medal, there is actually no prohibition on a person winning it twice. The main reason why no one has won it twice before is the age limit of 40.

Generally, those who can win the award are already in their thirties. In addition, the Fields Medal is awarded only once every four years. To be honest, it is really difficult to win it twice.

But he is only 17 years old this year, and he still has years to go before he turns , which means he still has five chances.

Qiao Yu just doesn't believe that he can't win the award again! There are still five Millennium Mathematical Problems that have not been solved!
If there was no precedent, he would consult with the president of the International Mathematical Union. He didn't believe that as long as his achievements were good enough, those old men would really ignore his achievements.

If someone really dares not to agree, he can just take the lead in questioning the credibility of the Fields Medal. If he is forced into a corner, he can also create a mathematics award to compete with the Fields Medal!
As long as you dare to think of a way, there is always one!

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu felt justified. Although he promised the good man that he would take him to the International Congress of Mathematicians to watch him receive the award, he didn't say which time it was? This made sense!

So Qiao Yu smiled, waved his hand towards the people below, and walked down boldly...

"Who is this……"

"Hello."

"Qiao Yu, welcome back to China. On behalf of the Ministry of Science, I would like to express my warmest congratulations to you..."

"Thank you."

"Who is this……"

"Hello."

……

There were seven or eight leaders of all ranks who came, and Qiao Yu was familiar with all of them.

It took about ten minutes for each person to say a few words. The airport pick-up area was quite cool. If it was really exposed to the sun, Qiao Yu would almost lose his patience.

Finally it was my turn to talk to Director Zhang and the nice guy.

Seeing the two of them, Qiao Yu's smile became much more sincere. After all, he was deeply touched by the difference between adding icing on the cake and providing timely assistance.

"Principal Zhang, Teacher Lan, I'm so happy to see you!"

"You can't call him Principal Zhang anymore. You should call him Director Zhang! Also, congratulations to you, Qiao Yu!" Lan Jie took the initiative to take over Qiao Yu's words and corrected him.

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

"Hey, stop talking. I'm so embarrassed. Congratulations, Qiao Yu! Your Fields Medal really boosts our Xingtie No. 1 Middle School! Speaking of which, our Xingtie No. 1 Middle School will have to rely on you for support in the future!"

Zhang Tiejun held Qiao Yu's hand and refused to let go, saying with a happy face.

He believed that Qiao Yu would have great development in the future. But he never expected that Qiao Yu would win the Fields Medal in just two years.

Imagination is not enough.

When the Fields Medal was mentioned, Qiao Yu immediately broke free from Zhang Tiejun's tightly held hand, looked at Langjie, and began to apologize sincerely.

"Teacher Lan, I'm so sorry. I promised you last time that I would invite you to the ceremony when I win the Fields Medal. But I forgot about it in my excitement.

But don't worry, I'm still young. Next time I win the Fields Medal, I must call you! I will definitely not forget this time! I'll ask Qiao Xi to remember it for me too!"

"Ah?" Qiao Yu's two words stunned Lang Jie.

Speaking of which, when Qiao Yu was giving his acceptance speech on the international mathematician stage, Langer never thought that Qiao Yu would specifically mention his name.

I almost cried when I was watching the live broadcast...

He was just thinking about how to talk to Qiao Yu about this, but Qiao Yu's words completely threw him off.

Unsurely, he asked, "Did you say that?"

Qiao Yu immediately replied, "I did say that, but you forgot. I said that to you on the train when you took me to Xiaozhou to participate in the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition.

After that, Qiao Yu solemnly promised: "Teacher Lan, don't worry, I will definitely do it next time!"

These words made Zhang Tiejun next to him a little jealous, and the leaders next to him looked at each other in surprise.

After all, it will be difficult to evaluate next time...

Just when Qiao Yu thought the welcome ceremony was almost over and he could get in the car and leave, he never expected that the climax was still to come.

"Qiao Yu, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there is still one more step."

"There's another step?"

"Haha...Bu Liu, you should be the one to make the announcement."

"Yes. Qiao Yu, in order to commend your outstanding achievements, Huaxia Technology BU has decided to award you the title of Outstanding Young Scientist Award and a bonus of 20 million yuan."

When Qiao Yu heard the big shot from the Ministry of Science and Technology announce this decision with a serious face, he almost couldn't react.

I can only say that our family members are really awesome!
After traveling all the way here, the total prize money I received was less than 11 million yuan when converted into RMB.

The money from our family was 20 million! It was twice what the foreigners gave! Most importantly, there was no news before, it was a complete surprise.

How should I put it? This is much more meaningful than giving him an award title of outstanding young scientist.

At this time, the boss's words continued.

"This is not only a recognition of your achievements, but also a hope that you will continue to maintain the spirit of striving for greater heights in your future scientific research and contribute more wisdom and achievements to the mathematical research of China and even the world.

We hope that you will continue to pay attention to and support the country's scientific and technological undertakings, communicate more with domestic scientific research institutions and young scientists, and contribute to promoting my country's basic scientific research to a new level..."

To be honest, Qiao Yu didn’t remember clearly what the boss said afterwards, but he remembered clearly that the bonus arrived in his account before dinner.

The call came personally from his exclusive bank account manager.

If he hadn't been busy at the time, the sweet-voiced account manager would have introduced him to several mature, stable and high-yield financial products.

It must be said that this efficiency is much faster than those people in the west. Before he could react, the family assets had increased by 1.5 times again.

It was this trip back on a private jet that raised Qiao Yu's threshold for wealth to an infinitely high level. Otherwise, he might have been so excited that he could have a drink.

But I was still very happy, so happy that I forced the good guy to stop staying in the hotel and took him directly to Huaqing's small house to chat until late at night.

Then, as expected, he took the good guy to find Zheng Xiwen the next day.

"Uncle Zheng, I was originally planning to go back to Xingcheng. Principal Zhang and Teacher Lan are just right. They have already booked high-speed rail tickets back to Xingcheng at noon. I will go back with them."

"Wait a minute, does your tutor agree?" Zheng Xiwen just felt his head hurt again.

"Of course he agreed. Director Tian told me before I went to Philadelphia that he would give me a week's vacation to go back to Star City after I come back. If you don't believe me, I'll call Director Tian now?" Qiao Yu said confidently.

"Then wait for me to make a phone call and ask." Zheng Xiwen finally realized what the biggest problem was in bringing Qiao Yu back home early.

My goodness, the boss and mom are still attending a meeting abroad. Looking around the country, it seems that no one can control this kid.

"Okay. By the way, please tell Director Tian that I have booked the ticket." Qiao Yu said with a smile.

He really didn't lie. Before going to Philadelphia, Tian Yanzhen did promise him.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiwen put the phone back. He sighed and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhang and I will go to Xingcheng with you. I'll buy the tickets now."
