On the morning of the second day of the academic conference, Woolf called.

“According to your request, our headhunting company has found a suitable manager. The other party has five years of experience in the intellectual property department at Verizon Telecom. There is no stain on the professional resume. When do you see it? Time to meet him?"

Sitting in the lobby of the hotel for breakfast, Lu Zhou, holding the phone, thought for a moment and replied, "For these two days, I plan to finish this before the end of January. I am now at a hotel near Berkeley. You asked him to come to San Francisco and reimbursement of the round-trip airline company."

"Good professor," Woolf said respectfully on the other end of the line. "He is in California at the moment, and I will let him contact you as soon as possible."

Upon completion of the business one day earlier, the am firm will be able to get the last payment from Luzhou one day earlier, and Woolf can get his own commission earlier.

In a sense, Am and Woolf are more enthusiastic than Lu Zhou to handle these things.

Shortly after Woolf’s call was hung up, Lu Zhou received a call from the former Verizon executive and agreed to meet at a time and place at 2 pm and a coffee shop near Berkeley...

......

[White Sheridan, 35, male, Ph.D. in Management from the University of Pennsylvania. He has served as the head of the intellectual property department at Verizon Telecom and has five years of work experience...]

Put down the resume in his hand, Lu Zhou looked at the man sitting opposite.

"Your resume can be very beautiful. What I don't understand is that Verizon has given you an annual salary of $200,000, but you still choose to leave."

“Verizon’s head of intellectual property is a good position, but he can’t bring me any sense of professionalism. I can’t have any career upside within five years. And compared to the department. Supervisor, I am more like to give the lawyers a hand," White said with a shrug.

Lu Zhou: "What about now? The business subject of Star Technology is patent management. Your work is probably the same as before, and there is no change."

He did not hide his thoughts. White smiled and said: "You are right, but Star Technology can give me 300,000 US dollars in annual salary and manager position, which is impossible for Verizon."

The annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is definitely a high salary in the United States. Rooted in the glassdoor data, horizontal comparison, Microsoft's chief development manager is only $294,000 annual salary.

Of course, the data belongs to the data, and the annual salary is not the whole of the employee benefits of Microsoft, but this is not mentioned for the time being.

In short, the annual salary of 300,000 US dollars is definitely a failure to accept the offer for White Sheridan.

Dreams in this country are important, but the dollar is more important.

Lu Zhou is also very satisfied with this honest employee.

Although he talked more about the company's future development expectations and corporate culture, it is easier to get a boss's favor, but White did not. And the most important thing is that his resume is impeccable and he has extensive experience in patent management.

Smiling and nodding, Lu Zhou extended his right hand.

“Congratulations on your entry, I hope that under your management, I can see a better star technology.”

Hearing this sentence, White's face also showed a smile, holding Lu Zhou's hand.

"I assure you that you will definitely see it."

......

For the positioning of Star Technology, Lu Zhou's idea is to make it a company similar to Qualcomm, focusing on research and development, becoming the father of industry, as well as the income generated, all invested in scientific research.

After the brief explanation of the development strategy of Star Technology and the contact with Professor Sarrot and Professor Passi respectively, Lu Zhou ended the meeting.

More things, both parties can continue to communicate on the work email.

After arranging the affairs of Star Science and Technology, Lu Zhou put his attention back to the ongoing academic conference.

Perhaps because of the settlement of Goldbach's conjecture, one of the two great mountains on the top of the additive number theory, the recent research results in the field of additive number theory have also emerged like mushrooms.

Based on his theory of group structure theory, many scholars have achieved many outstanding results when they are studying the Hualin issue.

For example, a Ph.D. student from Columbia University, based on his research, discussed the value range of g(6) by the theory of group structure.

Although the distance range he gave is still far from solving the final value, it is still an inspiring research achievement and won the applause of the audience.

For this phenomenon, Lu Zhou is very pleased.

If only the Goldbach conjecture is solved, it is not very practical except for the excitement.

But if the mathematical method he invented when he solved the Goldbach conjecture can be understood by more people and used to solve more mathematical problems, then the paper he published in the Yearbook of Mathematics is really a digging. All the treasures that this century conjecture left to future generations.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed and the academic conference came to a successful conclusion.

Standing on the podium of the Berkeley Great Hall, the old 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.

"...I am very grateful to all of you for participating in this mathematics exchange meeting, and I am very grateful to the companies such as Parker, Tesla Group, etc. for their sponsorship." After reading a long list of names, Mr. Francis pushed the glasses to the stage. The young scholars and the students at Berkeley smiled and continued, "The next is the award of the best young speaker award at this conference. It is easy to forget things when people are old. In order to avoid forgetting, I still Let's talk about it now."

For Mr. Francis's self-righteousness, a good-hearted laughter sounded and the applause was given.

In this relaxed atmosphere, Mr. Francis cleared his throat and announced with a stunned voice, "The best speaker of this academic conference is"

"Vera Puyue from Princeton!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Standing next to Lu Zhou, Vera's white face was stunned and turned red.

The surprise came so unexpected that she was not prepared at all until Lu Zhou patted her shoulder and she recovered from the shocking reality.

"Go," gave her an encouraging look. Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. "This is your glory."

"……Ok!"

Responding to Lu Zhou’s encouragement with grateful eyes, Vera nodded hard and ran through the crowd and onto the podium.

Looking at the petite back that disappeared into the crowd, Lu Zhou could not help but feel gratified.

Still young, okay...

Lu Zhou vaguely remembered that when he won the award himself, he was so excited that he did not sleep well for several days. Jinling University sent a congratulatory message to him, and Yan Da also threw an olive branch to him.

In addition to these honors, the winners also have a prize of 10,000 US dollars.

For him at the time, the $10,000 bonus was a huge sum.

However, Lu Zhou, who was so old-fashioned in his heart, did not realize that he was the younger party for the scholars present...

Standing on the podium, Vera's expression was a bit cramped, but it was a lot better than when she first stood on the stage.

The award winners are Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, the Crawford Award and the Fields Award winner Tao Zhexuan. During his teaching at Berkeley, he took the course of Vera's partial differential equation.

The certificate in his hand was solemnly handed over to Vera, and Tao Zhexuan said: "Congratulations, Miss Vera."

Vera nodded nervously and thanked her: "Thank you."

Tao Zhexuan nodded.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, after thinking for a while, continue to speak.

"Remember that a year ago, you and I said that you admire Professor Lu’s knowledge and hope that I can write a letter of recommendation for you. At the time, I thought I had done a very correct thing, even now I am. Think, but I hope you don't let me regret my decision."

Vera squatted slightly and her expression was a bit confused.

"Professor? I don't understand what you are 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. His talent in pure mathematics and applied mathematics is among the scholars I have ever seen. The most outstanding, and the most valuable thing is that he is still very young."

"His name will probably be remembered by history, just like the scholars of that era."

"And your recklessness may lead to some bad results."

"I hope that I misunderstood, but if not, I hope that no matter what you think about him, it is best to wait until after graduation to consider."
