The salary of NCAA head coach is not low. Although coach Thompson is not as good as big-name coaches like Pinotti and K, his annual salary is around one million dollars. He can be as good as his assistant coach for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year; and the average annual salary of American university professors is only less than 110,000 US dollars. It has to be admitted that Thompson's invitation is a rare opportunity in the eyes of ordinary people.

But if Lu Qiujian chose, he would rather be a professor than a head coach. The millions of dollars of head coaches are almost useless to his plan, and the resources he can obtain as a professor are different. Moreover, he will not lack pocket money for a short period of time after returning from Las Vegas.

Besides, his time is very precious now. If it weren't for a headache, even the basketball team wouldn't join, let alone spending a lot of time to complete various data collection, tactical analysis and other work.

Treasurely rejected Thompson's proposal, but promised to make his own suggestions in time during the game.

Professor Hu straightened his waist and walked into Princeton's reading room with a cup of extremely hot tea. He finally won the opportunity to come to this world's top university for short-term communication before retirement. After saying that, he had to get some fairy spirit. When he returned, he could brag about it with his disciples. Teacher, what kind of master I have never seen? Do you know that there is a Wiles in the United States? When I was in Princeton, I talked and laughed with him...

Looking at the piles of newly published journals on the bookshelf, Professor Hu felt a little emotional. This was much more than the library in his school. He picked up the latest Journal of Mathematics and found an empty space to sit down and look it up.

After first looking through the catalog, Professor Hu frowned and turned to the middle article about topology and carefully savored it. Modern mathematics has developed more and more in-depth, and the direction of research has become more and more scattered. The general directions alone include number theory, topology, projective geometry, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, non-European geometry, Riemann geometry, abstract algebra, computational mathematics, coordination, fractal geometry, mutation theory, fuzzy mathematics, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, mathematical logic, probability and mathematical statistics, mathematical physics, functional analysis, numerical analysis and dozens of branches.

It is already amazing that a scholar can make achievements in one direction in so many branches. Others that have nothing to do with their own direction cannot even have in-depth understanding. This topology article is probably the only one in Professor Hu who is confident that he can see some of the details.

Ten minutes later, he sighed and put down the magazine. Hey, could he be really old? How could he find it difficult to read such articles?

After rubbing the somewhat swollen temple, Professor Hu planned to pick up the magazine and chew it; hey, there was a yellow-skinned and dark-haired student opposite him. I wonder if it was from Japan or Li Jiapo?

It happened that he also raised his head and met Professor Hu's gaze. He became more and more home-loving as he grew older. He felt a little intimate when he saw the same complexion of skin in a foreign country. He quickly took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Are you an international student? Where did you come from?"

"Is I an exchange student from China! Are you a professor at the school or a visitor?" Lu Qiujian heard something from his accent, which seemed to be the tone of a large southern city.

"I'm from China too!" Professor Hu immediately changed into Chinese, and excitedly brought his hometown accent, "I'm here for a short-term visit, which school did you come here?" Then he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Beijing University!" Lu Qiujian took Professor Hu's business card with both hands and looked at him. It turned out that he was a professor in the Department of Mathematics in a certain university in the Magic City, and he was half of his colleagues. "Come on the way, I am also from the Department of Mathematics!"

"Oh~", Professor Hu raised his voice, "Your department head is Professor Zhang, right? I saw it at a meeting in Beijing just a few years ago!"

"Hello Professor Hu!" Lu Qiujian looked around. The two of them spoke relatively lowly and did not affect the students around him. Professor Hu's college ranks high in China and has a certain influence. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. If you know more people, you will have more ways, so Lu Qiujian lowered his posture and started chatting slowly.

From the depths of my memory, I found some journals that I had read in China. After finally finding a paper by Professor Hu. I started talking about the topic and said a few words, and a smile appeared on Professor Hu's face.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it, this is also a fool." Professor Hu was full of spring breeze and began to fantasize about returning to school and said to his disciples, "Do you know, the top students in Princeton's mathematics department all highly praised my research."

"You are too humble. The formula you proposed in the second paragraph of the article is very inspiring to me!" Lu Qiujian became more humble. In terms of China, Professor Hu's article was indeed pretty good.

"Little Lu." Professor Hu became more and more pleasing to Lu Qiujian. Why didn't there be such a good disciple under his disciple? He was a little moved, "Where is your family? What do parents do?"

"My family is from the Northeast, and their parents are both ordinary workers!" Lu Qiujian sweated a little. It seemed that he had not called his parents with this body after coming to the United States. When he went back, he quickly made up for it.

"Oh~", ordinary workers in Northeast China are afraid that they will not have a good time in the past few years? Professor Hu had a conspiracy in his mind, "Xiao Lu, are you a junior year this year? What should you do when the exchange student time is up? Are you trying to stay in the United States?"

"I don't have this plan for the time being!" Lu Qiujian shook his head. It was enough to study math for a year in Princeton. Next, it was time to try it in Europe.

"That's just planning to return to China? What plans do you have after graduation? Are you still planning to continue studying? Alas, it's a pity not to study with your talent." Professor Hu asked tentatively, "Are you interested in coming to the Magic City to study for my graduate school? I'll give you an interview. Although our school is a little worse than your school in terms of ranking, it may not be much less investment. As long as you want to come, I'll give you a decision on tuition, accommodation fees, etc. I'll give you three times the subsidy every month, so that you can also subsidize some household expenses!"

Well, Lu Qiujian had a headache for a while, and it seemed that he had offended people directly. If he didn't refuse, it wouldn't fit his plan. When he was hesitant, an envelope fell on the table. Alfoss's excited voice came from his ear, "Lu! The letter from "Mathematics Annual" has arrived! Let's see if your article has been hired!"
