The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 11 Let’s go to Xanadu

Long Guo, Beidu University, Institute of Mathematics.

Early in the morning on January 2023, 1, Vice President Chen Shuyun came to the office to work.

Recently he received a paper that contained the proofs of two new mathematical formulas, which was very helpful for his ongoing research on Lie groups.

He downloaded this paper from a confidential website. Unfortunately, even for public-level technical information on the confidential website, the author's identity is kept confidential.

Even if the confidentiality level is high enough, there is no way to know who the author is unless you are working on the same project as the author.

Otherwise, you will need to contact the author through the relevant department.

However, as a scholar engaged in pure mathematical theory research, it would certainly not be possible for him to pass the review and obtain the author's information in a short period of time.

The reason why Chen Shuyun wanted to know the identity of the author of the paper was because he really wanted to ask him in person. There were at least three places in the paper that he didn't quite understand.

With a "bang", the office door was pushed open.

"Old Chen, please take a look at the homepage of the website of New Progress in Mathematics!"

Chen Shuyun looked at his good friend Ding Xuebing, somewhat annoyed that he interrupted his train of thought:

"Are you in a hurry? Did the front page of "Advances in Mathematics" publish a paper that solves the seven major problems?"

Ding Xuebing urged, "Hurry up and take a look. It contains the paper you are researching!"

"Huh? Really?"

He exclaimed while hurriedly turning on the computer.

"Why is the computer so slow to boot up?"

After five or six minutes, Chen Shuyun came across the webpage of "New Advances in Mathematics".

He immediately saw the paper that had recently made him lose interest in food and sleep, "On the Smoothness of Differential Manifolds in Reduced Lie Groups".

Chen Shuyun quickly clicked to download the paper.

After downloading and opening the paper, Chen Shuyun saw the familiar manuscript.

"Yes, this is it!"

Chen Shuyun looked at the name of another work: Li Tang.

Correspondence address: Metal Materials Mechanics Laboratory, Fudu University, Longguo Shangdu

Tel: 0086-021-177xxxxxxxx
"How could he be a materials scientist? What a pity he has such a talent for mathematics!"

"Old Chen, I looked up this Li Tang online. He is the first person at Princeton University to get a Ph.D. in both mathematics and physics. He returned to China four years ago and started researching superconducting materials. He once published a top journal paper on his conjecture about the principles of superconductivity in materials."

A hint of relief flashed across Chen Shuyun's eyes, and then he was a little surprised.

"So, he went to study applied physics after returning to China? How could he write three papers on different branches of mathematics in a confidential project?"

Ding Xuebing disagreed: "Old Chen, except for the one you studied, the other two articles seem to belong to different branches, but they still have a common direction. Think about it carefully!"

Chen Shuyun stared at the names of the other two papers on the homepage, carefully thinking about the meaning of Ding Xuebing's words.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and looked at Ding Xuebing.

Ding Xuebing nodded.

The two of them said in unison: "The existence of smooth solutions to the NS equations!"

After the words fell, they both gasped.

"This Li Tang is so awesome!" Ding Xuebing exclaimed.

"Old Ding, let's go to Shangdu and buy plane tickets now!"

"Oh, no way, the New Year is coming soon! You are too anxious, wait, the computer is not turned off yet..."

Ding Xuebing chased Chen Shuyun out of the office.

……

……

Beidu, a certain technology building, 19th floor. Weiguo Capital, chairman's office.

Knock knock knock, there's a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

When the door opened, a capable short-haired beauty led two men in. One was a middle-aged man with a plump, round face, and the other was a young man of medium build and slightly sturdy.

"Chairman, Director Yan and the others are here."

Chairman Du Weiguo, who was intimidating without being angry, looked at the two of them and pointed at the chair in front of the desk.

The two men took their seats, and the short-haired beauty swiftly served them two cups of freshly brewed hot tea before leaving the office.

“I asked you to come here today because I have an investment case for you. I don’t care how you operate it. I just want one result, which is to successfully obtain no less than 20% of the equity.

As for the budget, it is tentatively set at 10 billion. Here is the information of the investment case. "

Du Weiguo said, pushing a document to the middle-aged man:

“Let me emphasize that this case must be kept confidential, and there is only this one copy of the information.

In a month, I don’t expect to hear from anyone other than you two that there are venture capitalists who want to compete with us.”

Yan Jinming has been working in venture capital for 20 years, and this is the first time he has heard such a request.

He took the document curiously, opened it, and was soon immersed in it.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Du, I think 10 billion is not enough to invest in him as a person."

Du Weiguo nodded slightly, "Old Yan, you still have a sharp eye. I just said that the price is tentatively set at 10 billion yuan, so if the other party wants to raise the price, you report to me."

Yan Jinming handed the document to the young man beside him and said, "Xiao Guan, take a look at it too. If you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."

The young man took it and looked at it carefully.

Yan Jinming turned around and continued, "Mr. Du, you just asked us to keep it a secret, but his company has just been established and the school is unable to invest in him. Why do you think he won't take the initiative to find other venture capital?"

Du Weiguo continued: "Although his company's registered capital is only 10 million, based on his resume, I infer that he will not be short of money for the time being.

I am now worried that he will not accept our request for financing because of this.”

Yan Jinming shook his head slightly. "I have patience. The field of artificial intelligence is already surging. Any commercial supercomputer is not cheap. His money is not even a drop in the bucket.

The price of high-performance chips across the sea will soon skyrocket, and the key is that they may be out of stock.

That time is our best opportunity!"

At this time, the young man finished reading and raised his head and continued: "Mr. Du, Mr. Yan, I think now may be the best time. He is a genius, but there is no business talent around him.

The company was just starting out and it was the right time for us to show our talents. I thought that providing timely assistance should be able to impress him.

I remember that we had a failed computing center project nearby before, and the discount on site fees was secondary.

Importantly, he should need a ready-made server room.

Even if he refuses, we can still win his friendship, after all, there is still a long way to go in the future."

Yan Jinming noticed a flash of satisfaction and approval in Du Weiguo's eyes. When he saw Du Weiguo's gaze turning to him, he smiled and affirmed:

"Xiao Guan's plan is very good. It seems that he is familiar with the company's previous business very quickly. We can give it a try first."

Du Weiguo nodded, "Then let the young man go first, and if that doesn't work, then we'll ask you, the veteran, to take action.

Xiaoguan, you are about the same age as him, so be good friends with him."

"Yes, Chairman."

"But..." Du Weiguo's voice suddenly became a little solemn:

"The goodwill of Weiguo Capital is not something that anyone can refuse. Even if he is a genius, we must let him see our value in this land of Longguo!"

"Ok."

"Time is running out before the New Year. You should leave immediately and head to Shangdu."
