"Simmons, regarding what we discussed last time, I suddenly have a new idea." Lu Qiujian dialed the number of a Wall Street boss again. The last time he called him, he wanted to transfer the 10 million US dollars through him.

I gave it to the foundation that I proposed on the last day of the report meeting, but later I thought that the answers to these ten questions would not be available in a short time. Just leaving them there seemed a bit wasteful, and it would not be a good stimulus to the mathematics community. "

You see

How about this? I will put these ten million US dollars into your Renaissance Company and run it by your company; the annual profit will be transferred to the account of the foundation after deducting commissions. After deducting the daily operation expenses of the foundation, the rest will be

"Renaissance Company's average annual net return rate is 356, and its annual profit of 10 million is fully sufficient to pay for this expense."

"Haha, give me a reason to agree. People who want to invest money in Renaissance companies can line up from Princeton to Manhattan. I won't agree to them easily. Either you have huge influence in a certain field, or you can bring me

Otherwise, I won’t be able to convince my shareholders if there are some policy conveniences. Of course, if you are willing to join Renaissance Company, then nothing is a problem,” Simmons replied with a laugh.

There are two main funds in his company, one is called the Renaissance Institutional Capital Fund, which accepts external investment but has an average profitability; the other is the Medallion Fund, which only internal employees can invest in, and has extraordinary profitability.

If it is the first type, Lu Qiujian will not be satisfied with its rate of return, and it does not meet Renaissance Company's screening rules; as for the second type, Lu Qiujian is not an internal employee, so of course he cannot invest in it.

"I can't do any of these." Lu Qiujian had thought clearly before calling, but he knew what Simons valued more than policy energy. "But I can help you optimize your algorithm."

"It's a perfect reason that people can't refuse." Simmons couldn't help but clenched his fist, "But to optimize the algorithm, you need to first see the algorithm currently used by Renaissance Company. This is a big secret worth tens of billions."

"You can send someone you trust over. Of course, it would be better if you can come yourself. I can sign a confidentiality agreement and then start working." Lu Qiujian understands what it means to have an algorithm that can bring Simmons an income of ten figures every year.

"Well, I happen to be going to China recently." Simmons' voice became deeper. "You know, Chen's health is getting worse now. I have to go and see how many Americans he brought with him.

The doctor went over to see if he could help him."

Simons was talking about Chen Shengshen who now lives in Tianjin. Lu Qiujian just filled out the application form for the mathematics award named after him two days ago. "I hope Mr. Chen is safe and well. You can go to the capital first, and then we can go see him together."

"

Lu Qiujian hung up the phone at the appointed time, changed his clothes and walked to Professor Zhang's office; the framework of the foundation proposed at the last meeting had been set up. Professor Zhang and he both held important positions in it,

Now that things have changed, I have to discuss it with him.

"You mean to put these ten million US dollars into the fund and use the annual profit to award prizes?" Professor Zhang was a little worried after hearing this. "It's hard to talk about investment. What if we lose money? Donate.

Do people agree to do this?"

"Where did this money come from James Simmons?" Lu Qiujian said vaguely, "You should know him, right? His company's profitability is still guaranteed."

"The Chen-Simons theorem is very popular." Even if you were replaced by Buffett and Professor Zhang, you might not have heard of it, but Simons has made great achievements in the field of mathematics and is one of the major donors of global mathematics research.

Professor Zhang still trusts him very much, "I have met him a few times before. But I haven't spoken to him. If it is him, I will feel relieved."

"Look, none of these ten problems can be solved in the short term. If you only solve one problem with a million dollars, it won't have much effect in the short term." Lu Qiujian stated his reasons again, "But every year we

Mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to these ten problems this year are all rewarded. I calculated that the bonus can be at least one hundred thousand US dollars. This is not a big stimulus. At the same time, it will help expand our foundation and even the entire capital.

The influence of the university is beneficial.”

Of course, it can also help you build your reputation in the mathematics community. Holding a conference every year, and communicating with mathematicians on the latest progress at the conference will also help you grasp the latest progress of research, so that you can adjust your plans.

"Well, I think it's okay?" Professor Zhang said, getting ready to stand up. "Come on, come with me to the president's office. Tell him about your concerns." The foundation is still in the name of Capital University, and the president is

The nominal person in charge. In theory, such a big change must go through him.

When they arrived outside the principal's office, the secretary took them in directly when he saw them. As soon as they got inside, the principal stood up with a smile, "Haha, I just said I was going to find you." He raised the mail in his hand,

"Guess what I got?"

"Reply letter from the members of the Fund Committee?" I had previously sent invitations to many authorities at the meeting, and now it is almost time for them to respond.

"Yes." The principal showed them one email after another, "This is from Mr. Grothendieck, he has agreed; this is from Professor Deligne, he has also agreed; and this is from Professor Witten; Cambridge

Professor John Thompson of the University; Professor Hermandel of Sweden; Professor Shafalevich of Moscow State University; Professor Cedric Villani, Director of the Poincaré Institute in France; Professor Shigefumi Mori of Kyoto University; Humboldt University

Professor Schultz, most of the people we had contacted before accepted the invitation and were willing to serve on the review committee."

The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Lucia, Germany, Japan, plus China, these are basically the most important forces in the field of mathematics at present. With their support, the authority of the foundation is unquestionable.

"We just happened to come to you about the foundation." Professor Zhang explained the matter.

The principal thought for a while and said, "That's fine. If no one solves these problems for a long time, won't the foundation become a decoration? Now it is enough to make some noise every year to maintain its influence." It is also a good way to expand the influence of Capital University.
