Yes, after seeing the huge video of Yan Bei's report meeting, Frank did not fall asleep all night and looked at his life from the beginning.

To be fair, he was still very satisfied when he first came to the United States from China.

After all, at that time, he felt that everything was fresh and that he lived a good life every day on campus. He didn't need to worry about his livelihood.

When he graduated, he accidentally entered the Eisen family. While other classmates were still worried about finding a job, he successfully obtained a teaching position in Berkeley, with a stable life and a happy family.

The most important thing is that the prices in the United States were not high at that time. Although there were tax burdens that he felt were quite criticized, with his income, he could still live a good life.

Although he experienced inflation later, if he followed his father-in-law's father Lucas Eisen's plan,

In the future, his income will also increase and he will even live better and better.

Obviously, the unexpected happened in Yangyu's sudden appearance.

This young genius from China suddenly made him reimburse for five years of hard work.

This even made him fail to show off his face in front of many big shots at this year's International Mathematician Conference.

It was only by looking at Lucas's face that he could barely give a thirty-minute report in the small branch hall.

There were only a few listeners, let alone influence, and they just barely gained reputation.

If everything went well, this year he would have won a Salvi Award from the American Mathematics Society and a Youth Award in the International Mathematics Conference for his work in the Geometric Langlands Conjecture.

These are all for him to lay the foundation for him to win higher honors at the next International Conference of Mathematicians.

But now it seems that everything is hopeless. Anyway, the Fields Medal is completely impossible.

If he had a little thought before, Lucas talked to him about this issue directly after the International Conference of Mathematicians.

Given that he really could not have achieved any outstanding results since his previous years, Lucas could not have pushed him up without any convincing results.

There is no way. Although Lucas Eisen has won the Fields Medal, there are many living Fields Medal winners, and no one can really cover up the situation.

There are even Fields Medal winners who are older than Lucas Eisen. For example, Pierre Dellini and Edward Witten.

The younger generation of Fields Medal winners have a greater reputation in the academic world. For example, Peter Schultz and Tao Xuanzhi,

Qiao Yu.

With these people staring at them, you can imagine how difficult it is to operate.

Not to mention that Lucas Eisen also tasted the taste. He felt that the emerging math star was targeting Frank.

But he had inquired in private and observed the two of them with his own eyes. He really couldn't see anything unusual between them, unlike when they had had an intersection before.

But no matter whether Qiao Yu takes the initiative to target Frank, the result cannot be changed.

I can only say that the golden age of mathematicians is too precious, and whether they have the talent will appear early. Although there are examples of late-achieving achievements, it would be a big joke to really regard individual examples as common situations.

So he could only regretfully tell Frank that his chances were very slim. It would be better to put your self-criticism more practical. It would be great to be able to win the status of a lifelong professor in Berkeley.

But this obviously does not match Frank's request for him.

To put it bluntly, how much money does a professor who does not have a university in the United States make in a year? In addition to inflation and the tax burden that cannot be escaped, it is difficult to support a family!

Not to mention that people are most afraid of comparison.

If the United States could still be as bright as when he first came, or if his life had no vision and ups and downs, he would have recognized it as a tenured professor at a university.

After all, it is not enough to compare with the best, but it is more than enough to compare with the best.

But that's not the case now. His son is now a Fields Medal winner, his family is well-off, and his future is even more limitless. In other words, he could have lived a billionaire life.

The realm could have been directly reached.

In the future, you only need to pursue spiritual things and no longer have to worry about material things.

But the reality is that he will squeeze into the ranks of billionaires in the future. He will even need the help of the previous generation to live a life of barely prosperity.

He didn't even dare to think about what if Fang Yi failed to become a tenured professor, or if his grandfather died one day and the school terminated his contract.

The United States does not have the kind of guarantee, and it will not be open to him just because he is unemployed.

He may not even be able to pay high property taxes by then.

He couldn't even sell his mansion after he was unemployed and moved to a lesser neighborhood to maintain a basic life, just like other middle-class people.

Because his wife Erin is absolutely impossible to agree.

This is the perception that native Americans will be branded from birth. The lives of different neighborhoods must be completely different.

For the same house, some blocks can be so cheap that it is outrageous. But at the same time, the public security and education of cheap blocks can be so bad that it is so bad that it is outrageous!

Even children only make friends with peers who live in the same neighborhood, let alone those adults. So if you really get to that point, Frank will know with his butt, and Erin will definitely choose to make the case for the sake of his children.

Divorce him.

Although she no longer has a job, she is the only daughter of a high-tech family. She can live a good life alone.

As for him, he can only rely on his own parents. But the problem is that his parents have supplemented him a lot over the years, and basically all the floating wealth brought to the United States from China has been used up.

The two of them are not decent in their jobs, and their salary is not high. The two of them are only more than 3,000 US dollars a month.

One of his parents is 60 years old and the other is 62 years old. They have to wait at least 67 if they want to apply for a pension.

age.

But the most terrifying thing is that due to income factors, neither of them has 401K. The two only have traditional IRA accounts.

To be honest, with the current situation in the United States, it is difficult for him to take care of the little money in his parents' IRA account.

Let alone raise him.

After all, in the United States, property tax is not something you don’t pay after retirement. As long as you own a property, you have to pay it for a lifetime.

Although the property tax in Berkeley is not high, the tax rate is only about 1.2% of the property valuation per year, for elderly families who have lost their ability to work after retirement and have a monthly income of only $2,000, it is more than 400 per month.

The US dollar property tax expenditure is still difficult to bear.

Really, Frank became more and more frustrated this night. He couldn't understand that two years ago he was a mathematics professor with a noble status and respected and infinite future.

Why did he become like this now after two years?

Well, actually he also knew that everything started with his work in Geoho Langlands's conjecture being overturned by Qiao Yu.

But if he had directly identified his identity with Qiao Yu at that time, perhaps his situation would be different now.

The only problem was that he didn't expect that Qiao Yu had surpassed Lucas in just two years and had become a leader in the contemporary mathematics community.

Who did you go to reason with this?!

But now it is not a matter of being unable to get down on your kinship, but he had met Qiao Yu before, so why didn’t he recognize these few things at that time?

Yes, Frank is thinking about how to find a perfect statement to test Qiao Yu's attitude.

After all, if he cannot get Qiao Yu's recognition and offends Lucas, then he will probably have to be a homeless man in the future.

So that night, Frank even complained about his parents!

If it weren't for them who had to take him abroad, but stayed in China honestly and accepted the fact that he had a child, how could he face such a dilemma now?

He can already enjoy his life in advance.

Thinking of this, Frank felt a little frustrated. His parents' perception was worthy of their suffering.

Back then, they also had a whole demolition house in Haoshui, Xingcheng. They had done business as contractors before, and lived in China far better than most people back then.

Although the management was standardized later and his father's contractor could not continue, he could still live a rich life even if he was lying down and collecting rent.

In anger, I sold all the property and came here, and who would blame me for living my life like this?

If he continues to stay in China, he might even have married Qiao Xi and can now lie at home and enjoy a happy life!

Yes, I had just resentment at first. When the daylight was bright, the resentment had turned into hatred.

I have completely forgotten that part of the reason why his parents decided to immigrate to the United States was that he suddenly found a child, which made the whole family panic.

But the idea of ​​refined egoists like Frank is too extreme, and even if you think of this, you won’t think you are wrong.

But when this thought came out of my mind, Frank suddenly felt that the world was wide.

Yes, he can completely put all the blame on his parents! He can make up for his mistakes by not allowing him to think of the parents as a result of his parents' failure to let him take the lead.

There is no doubt that this is the best reason at this stage. What he has to consider now is how to connect with Qiao Yu-·

Sending an email or calling directly is naturally the most unfeasible option.

If possible, it would be best to meet Qiao Yu or Qiao Xi in private! In this way, he can repent in person and explain the whole story clearly.

Yes, at this time Frank really thought from the bottom of his heart that all the responsibility was on his parents.

It has nothing to do with him.

When he left China, he was just a high school student. What could he know?

So it’s all my fault!

Really, thinking of this, Frank suddenly felt relaxed.

It’s still a question to go to China for some reason.

The Berkeley Mathematics School does not have much cooperation with China, and Yanbei University has just held a large-scale report meeting and he did not attend it.

This means it is quite difficult for him to find a reasonable reason to go to China, and it may take some time.

But after feeling that he found the direction, Frank suddenly realized, and even looking at the rising sun, he felt so bright.

What Frank didn't know was that he was more than one who regretted it for a long time last night.

In fact, some people are also deeply regretting!

In Washington, DC, in a small conference room with a very distinctive white paint, five people were already red in their eyes.

There is no way, the stock market has been very troubled these two days. Finance is the foundation of this land after all.

Although they do not need to be directly responsible for such abnormal declines in the stock market, the one they are responsible for must be responsible.

The person who was in a bad mood naturally passed on to their staff.

The top people need solutions, but they can't just spread their hands and say there is nothing they can do.

After all, the workplace is not a TV series, nor is it a TV series in the Commonwealth. If the person above is in a bad mood, he can really let them lose their jobs in one sentence.

"I've said a long time ago that when he came to Philadelphia to attend the International Mathematician Conference in July, we should find a way to keep him.

"Okay, Jack, now isn't the time to complain about these."

"But I did make suggestions at that time."

"Yes, I know, but we talked to Langley about this, and the professionals felt that the proposal was not enforceable at the time! And we were not prophets!"

Obviously such a debate is meaningless.

But when people can't imagine for the time being, they seem to be able to make such a quarrel.

Maybe the problem-solving idea is here...

Yes, the problem-solving idea is coming soon. "Maybe we can cooperate with Google, IBM, and Microsoft to hold a world-class quantum computing technology conference by these technology companies!

Then invite Qiao Yu to participate. If he agrees to participate, our opportunity will come? We can leave him in the United States!"

Jack looked at the person who was thinking, and said angrily: "He only stayed at the International Mathematician Conference for two days before leaving! Why do you think he would attend such an invitation?

Even though he doesn’t have so many ideas, Qiao Yu’s mind is a national treasure now! Do you think China can let him attend this meeting that he has never held before and suddenly?”

"Okay, Jack, I can't say that! The quantum computing conference is available every year, not just held this year. And let go of your mind, what if it wasn't held in the United States?"

When Jack heard the chief of staff say this, he was quiet for a moment, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's still very difficult! As long as it's West, I think it's very difficult!"

"You can try it, but you don't have to be in the West. Choose a place that makes the other party feel safe! It's really difficult in China, but if you change to anywhere else in the world, you will have a chance!"
Chapter completed!
