Chapter 995 Small Win, Medium Win and Big Win


    Due to the annual conference, the main nodes of major projects are rarely set in mid-to-early March.


    After all, many responsible persons and technical backbones are representatives attending the conference, and it would not be good to leave them behind.


    ?Hence, most of March passed quietly in the midst of relatively dull daily work.


    Until the end of the month…


    ?According to previous arrangements, the Numerical Algorithms and Computational Science Conference will be held on the last weekend of March, that is, on the 30th and 31st.


    Hence, the finals, which serve as a warm-up for the conference, naturally have to start two days in advance.


    Considering that it is impossible for players to compete as soon as they get off the plane, they have to get rid of jet lag and adapt to the venue equipment, so the entire conference will enter the process about a week before the official opening.


    Logically speaking, whether it is a competition or a conference, the influence is mainly concentrated on the industry.


    Even if it is earth-shattering in the industry, it is rarely noticed by the outside world.


    But this time the situation is different.


    On the one hand, this is the first time that a Chinese company has taken the lead as an “industry leader”.


    What’s more, it’s not a traditional industry that tells stories and sells concepts, but a serious high-tech industry.


    ?On the other hand...


    It is Chang Haonan himself.


    This is the first time he has participated in an event that is completely open to the media since he solved the Poincaré Conjecture.


    Therefore, even though many media outlets did not even know what the term "numerical algorithm" meant, they still flocked to the capital with the idea of ????making a three-pointer.


    In short, when Chang Haonan appeared at the conference venue for the first time on March 24 to inspect the preparations as a special guest and sponsor leader, the situation at the scene was a little out of control...


    In fact, originally, there was no special interview session arranged for this day, but according to regulations, during the preparations for the meeting, media who have passed the security inspection and qualification review can enter the venue to report on the preparations for the meeting, and conduct interviews with consent. staff.


    ?So, while listening to Song Jingming’s report, he walked around a corner and entered the central conference hall. He unexpectedly met a group of people wearing media badges.


    Among the crowd opposite, several people clearly recognized Chang Haonan''s face immediately, so they subconsciously stopped.


    Others were affected by this and quickly noticed this.


    “Is that...Mr. Chang of Torch Group?”


    ?Faced with the news that suddenly hit their faces, some people were not sure.


    But no one answered his question.


    Because everyone has already rushed forward...


    Even though everyone who appeared here had passed the security check, this posture still frightened Zhu Yadan and the other two security guards.


    Fortunately, Song Jingming stepped forward in time and stopped the charging crowd two steps away.


    “Mr. Chang, what are your expectations and wishes for the finals of the Mathematical Calculation Competition that are about to begin?”


    The first reporter even misremembered the name of the competition, but at any rate he asked questions related to the topic.


    And Chang Haonan naturally responded in a formulaic way:


    “As the first competition for students in the field of numerical computing, I hope that the contestants can perform well and even break through their original levels. After all, for any industry, young people represent the future…”


    Hearing this answer, Song Jingming couldn''t hold it back and quickly lowered his head, so that his smile was not noticed by the reporters opposite.


    As the organizer of the competition, he can see the personal information filled in by the contestants.


    ??Although as an international event, there is no effective way to determine the age information of the players, most people will not fill it in blindly.


    According to statistics, more than one-third of the finalists are actually older than Chang Haonan...


    So it’s hard to say who represents the future.


    After someone started, the questions that followed became more and more free.


    “Mr. Chang, it is said that Torch Group’s competitor COMSOL performed very well in the preliminary round. Do you have any measures in the final?”


    This obviously requires a lot of work.


    “Ahem…there is nothing to target, and there is no need to target.”


    Chang Haonan’s answer highlights a great point:


    “Numerical computing is a large and open market. We welcome all competitors. It is precisely because of their existence that this field has developed rapidly in recent years...”


    “Professor Chang, there are many rumors from the outside world that you and Professor Perelman may be awarded the Fields Medal together at the International Congress of Mathematicians at the end of the year. What do you think of this?”


    “I haven’t paid special attention to this matter, so I don’t have any opinion... And if you ask this before the final result is out, it will give people a feeling of being appointed, and the impact will be very bad..."


    "The prize from the Nacre Institute of Mathematics will definitely be awarded at the Mathematicians Conference. Do you have any plans for the money..." The reporter just now was reluctant.


    “Uh…no plans.”


    ?Chang Haonan shook his head directly.


    "ah?"


    ?The other party was immediately confused by this unreasonable answer.


    “For me, this is a normal bonus income, and I don’t need to make any special plans...”


    "oh…"


    The reporter’s hand holding the microphone shook, and he suddenly felt a little heartbroken...


    …”


    …


    At the same time that Chang Haonan was chatting with the Confucian scholars.


    Beijing International Airport.


    A United Airlines Boeing 777 slowly stopped taxiing and docked precisely next to the bridge.


    ? Most of the passengers on the plane were exhausted from the long-distance flight of more than 13 hours. After hearing the departure channel opening, they all stood up like zombies to get their luggage.


    ?However, Lyles Connor and several others who came to China to compete still maintained a relatively energetic state by virtue of their youth, coupled with the jet lag of night owls from staying up late for a long time, and of course their sense of freshness.


    “I must say, this place is different from what I imagined before I came here.”


    ?Hermia, who was sitting by the window, said as she gathered her hair, then took out her hat from her bag and put it on:


    “I thought the capital city should be about the same as Mexico City, but before landing, I took a special look below and found that at least the overall planning of the city is much neater than that of Mexico, and it is impossible to distinguish the rich areas from the slums at a glance…”


    As you can tell from her surname, Hermia is a Hispanic student.


    ??Although she was born in the United States, she still has many relatives in Mexico.


    Hence, before today, his only concept of a third world country was Mexico.


    ?For this reason, I was once worried about the safety of my group of people.


    “Although I have never left the United States before, after all, China successfully applied for the Olympic Games last year...”


    ?George Folger, who was sitting outside, had already moved the luggage of several people down and was just waiting for the people in front to give up their seats one after another:


    “I think…since the International Olympic Committee is willing to hold the Olympics here, it at least shows that the level of urban construction will not be much worse than Barcelona, ??Atlanta and Sydney…”


    ?At the beginning of the 21st century, no country had yet implemented those abstract activities when hosting the Olympic Games, so not only Chinese people, but people all over the world still had some positive filters for the Olympics.


    In fact, this was also the main reason why China mobilized the whole nation to bid for the Olympics—


    As a window to show yourself to the world.


    ?Who would have thought that he would reach the top by accident? .


    At this time, Professor Jameson, who was sitting in the front row, also turned around.


    “I know a few Chinese professors working in the capital. If you want, you can ask him to take you around in the days before the competition.”


    ??Jameson said:


    “You have been very well prepared for this month. The last few days are mainly about adjusting your state. Just be careful not to go too far, and also make sure you get enough rest..."


    “What about you...and Mr. Hertz?”


    ?Hermia looked up at Jameson and Haltz in front of her.


    “Well...the old man can’t compare to you young people.”


    Jameson shook his head:


    “It’ll be nice if I can catch my breath after flying down this time before the meeting…”


    “As for Hertz…”


    Before Jameson could finish speaking, Hertz quickly joined the conversation:


    “In the period after the preliminary competition, many companies have begun to realize the value of COMSOL.”


    When he said this, the slight fatigue on his face was swept away, and instead he revealed a feeling of satisfaction:


    “So before I came to China, I had already found several companies to discuss cooperation. I can’t act with you these days...”
