Chapter 294: Best Young Speaker

In the early morning of the second day of the academic conference, Woolf called.
"According to your request, the headhunting company we commissioned has found a suitable manager. The other party has been working for Verizon Telecom as the head of the intellectual property department for five years. There is no stain on the professional resume. When do you see it? Time to meet him? "
Sitting in the hotel's lobby for breakfast, Lu Zhou holding his mobile phone thought for a moment, and responded, "Just two days, I plan to finish this by the end of January. I am now at a hotel near Berkeley You send him to San Francisco, and the airline ticket company reimburses you. "
"Good professor," Woolf said respectfully over the phone. "He's in California now, and I'll let him contact you as soon as possible."
Complete the business one day earlier, AM can get the final payment from Luzhou one day earlier, and Woolf can get his own commission earlier.
In a sense, AM Office and Woolf were more enthusiastic than Lu Zhou to handle these issues earlier.
Soon after Woolf's call was hung up, Lu Zhou received a call from the former Verizon executive and agreed to meet at 2 pm and a coffee shop near Berkeley ...
...
[White Sheridan, 35, male, PhD in Management, University of Pennsylvania. He used to be the head of Intellectual Property Department at Verizon Telecom and has five years of working experience ...]
Putting down his resume, Lu Zhou looked at the man sitting opposite.
"Your resume can be said to be very beautiful, but what I don't understand is that Verizon paid you $ 200,000 a year, but you still chose to leave."
"The head of Verizon's intellectual property department is a good job, but he can't bring me any sense of professional accomplishment. I can't have any career improvement in five years. Compared with the department, Superintendent, I'm more like a fight for lawyers. "White said with a shrug.
Lu Zhou: "What about now? The main business of Xingkong Technology is patent management. Your work is probably the same as before, and there has been no change."
Without concealing her thoughts, White said with a smile: "You are right, but Starry Technology can give me an annual salary of 300,000 dollars and a manager position, which Verizon could not give me."
An annual salary of $ 300,000 is definitely a high salary in the United States. According to the data, if the horizontal comparison is made, the chief development manager of Microsoft also has an annual salary of $ 294,000.
Of course, the data is data, the annual salary is not the entirety of Microsoft employee benefits, but this is not mentioned for the time being.
In short, the annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is definitely an offer that White Sheridan can't refuse.
Dreams matter in this country, but the dollar matters more.
For this honest employee, Lu Zhou was also very satisfied.
Although talk about expectations of the company's future development and corporate culture, it is easier to get the favor of the boss, but White did not do so. And most importantly, his resume is impeccable and he has extensive experience in patent management.
Smiling and nodding, Lu Zhou stretched out his right hand.
"Congratulations on your entry, and hope that under your management, I can see a better Starry Sky technology."
Hearing this sentence, White also smiled, holding Lu Zhou's hand.
"I assure you, you will definitely see it."
...
Regarding the positioning of Xingkong Technology, Lu Zhou's idea is to make it a company similar to Qualcomm, focus on research and development, and become the father of the industry. As for the income generated, it is also invested in scientific research.
After briefing White on the development strategy of Starry Sky Technology and the tasks of contacting Prof. Salot and Prof. Percy, Lu Zhou ended the meeting.
More things, both parties can continue to communicate on the work email.
After arranging things for Star Technology, Lu Zhou returned his attention to the ongoing academic conference.
Perhaps because Goldbach's conjecture, one of the two mountains above additive number theory, was solved, recent research results in the field of additive number theory have sprung up like mushrooms.
Based on his group structure theory, many scholars have achieved many outstanding results in their research on the Hualin problem.
For example, a PhD in mathematics from Columbia University, based on his research, discussed the value interval of g (6) through the theory of group construction.
Although the range of values ​​given by him is still far from the final value, this is still an inspiring research result, which has won applause from the audience.
Lu Zhou was very pleased with this phenomenon.
If only Goldbach's conjecture was solved, it would not have much practical significance other than exciting.
But if the mathematical method he invented while solving Goldbach's conjecture can be understood by more people and used to solve more mathematical problems, then the paper he published in the "Mathematics Yearbook" can be considered a real mining This century conjectures all the treasures left to future generations.
A week later, the academic conference came to a successful conclusion.
Standing on the podium in the auditorium of Berkeley, the elderly Mr. Francis, as usual, used his gentle and steady voice to introduce himself to the young scholars in the auditorium and read the opening remarks.
"... Thank you very much for participating in this mathematical exchange meeting, and also thank you for the sponsorship of Parker Corporation, Tesla Group, etc." The young scholars and the students at Berkeley smiled and continued, "This is the academic conference, the award of the best young speaker award. It is easy to forget things when people get old. In order to avoid forgetting them, I still Speak now. "
Regarding Mr. Francis's self-ridicule, the audience laughed in good faith and gave applause for encouragement.
In this relaxed atmosphere, Mr. Francis cleared his throat and announced in a frustrated voice, "The best speaker of this academic conference is--"
"Wila Puyui from Princeton!"
There was warm applause from the audience.
Standing next to Lu Zhou, Willa's fair-faced cheeky face suddenly turned red.
The surprise came so unexpectedly that she was not ready at all, until Lu Zhou patted her on the shoulder, and she returned to the shocking reality.
"Come on," she gave her a look of encouragement, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, "This is your glory."
"……Ok!"
Responding to Lu Zhou's encouragement with grateful eyes, Willa nodded strongly, trotting through the crowd, and walked up to the podium.
Looking at the petite back that disappeared in the crowd, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel relieved.
Still young ...
Lu Zhou vaguely remembered that when he himself won the award, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several days. Jinling University sent him a congratulatory message, and Yanda threw an olive branch at him.
In addition to these honors, the winners also have a $ 10,000 bonus.
For him at that time, EbookFREE.me, the 10,000-dollar bonus was a huge sum.
However, Lu Zhou, feeling old-fashioned in his heart, did not realize that for the scholars present, he was the younger one ...
Standing on the podium, Vera's expression was a little cramped, but it was a lot better than when she first stood on the podium.
The winners were Tao Zhexuan, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, the Crafford Prize, and the Fields Prize winner. While teaching at Berkeley, he took the subject of Willa's partial differential equation.
The certificate in hand was solemnly handed over to Willa, and Tao Zhexuan said, "Congratulations, Miss Willa."
Willa nodded nervously, thanking him, "Thank you."
Tao Zhexuan nodded.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.
"Remember a year ago, you told me that you admired Professor Lu's knowledge and hoped that I could write a recommendation letter for you. At that time I thought that I had done something extremely correct, even now I am Think, but I hope you don't make me regret my decision. "
Willa froze slightly, her expression a little confused.
"Professor? I don't understand what you're talking about?"
Tao Zhexuan shook his head: "Nothing, I just hope that what you admire is only his knowledge. In fact, I also admire him very much. His talents demonstrated in pure mathematics and applied mathematics are among the scholars I have seen. The most outstanding and most precious thing is that he is still young. "
"His name will probably be remembered by history, just like scholars of that era."
"And your recklessness can lead to some bad results."
"Hopefully I misunderstood, but if not, I hope that no matter what you think of him, it is best to wait until after graduation to consider."
