Looking at Lawrence with a faint smile on his face, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
When I clicked on it, I saw that it was from the International Union of Mathematicians.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was at a stalemate.
"Go and receive the award."
Wang Peng: "That is?"
"No... it has nothing to do with the report meeting."
Lu Zhou smiled lightly and said, "I always thought that you Americans like to do things according to the rules. Normally, shouldn't you go to the CEO of Star Technology to discuss this matter?"
"There is a manuscript about John Adams in the Flint Library, which records his research on this cultural phenomenon in detail. In my opinion, it is precisely because he understands Americans so well that he can see the hidden thread in colonial history. He knew how to restrain those who were disobedient, even to the point of becoming president, because of the 'torrent of depravity' behind the culture."
"That's just for you," Lu Zhou said calmly, "I have always believed that there is no free lunch in the world. If we accept your investment, it means that we must give up part of our equity. Am I right? "
Lawrence: "Of course... As you said, there is no free lunch in this world, but besides free lunch, there is another word called win-win! We can definitely create greater wealth through cooperation!"
He was having a headache these days as to whether he should go or not. IMU sent an email. He could almost guess it without reading it. It was probably to urge him to post the papers he was going to give in the 60-minute lecture on the conference website. Went up.
"Where to go?"
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Wang Peng."
"In August, I might have to go to St. Petersburg."
"Having said so much, I just want to answer your question. In order to achieve their goals, pirates will do whatever it takes. I don't really want to be your enemy, and I don't even have the intention to become a chess player, but... there is an invisible phenomenon in this world. The potential is affected by many factors.”
"What's the surprise?"
Except during the lottery.
"As for the core of this cultural phenomenon, I call it pirate culture."
After the silence lasted for a long time, Lawrence's shoulders suddenly relaxed and he leaned back on the chair.
"This... depends on how you define it." After hesitating for a moment, Lawrence opened his mouth and continued, "Besides, does it really matter who it belongs to? The starry sky technology you have now may only be worth 100 billion U.S. dollars. I will take out a With hundreds of billions of dollars in financing, you may have less equity in your hands, but in fact your wealth exceeds the original $100 billion, and has even doubled several times because of our cooperation—"
Huh
"OK."
"What's wrong?"
The atmosphere was awkward.
After finishing his meal slowly, Lu Zhou also left the restaurant half an hour after Lawrence left and walked towards the car parked at the door.
Looking at Lawrence who looked disapproving, Lu Zhou interrupted him and continued in a serious tone.
Lu Zhou suddenly felt dizzy when he saw the calling address.
Lawrence smiled faintly, "Rules? If you have such an idea, it's because you haven't stayed in the United States long enough and you don't really understand this country."
"Surprisingly."
Putting down his phone, Lu Zhou said with a strange expression.
"I see... I originally thought it was possible for us to cooperate, and with your intelligence, you would be able to see the benefits, but now it seems that I was thinking too much unilaterally."
“I think the question of who belongs is important.”
"The merchant ships plying the Golden Route will more or less become pirates when necessary, whether for national or private interests. The colonists who set foot on the American continent were, in most cases, law-abiding and good citizens. ', but the premise is that it is more beneficial to them. If it is profitable, they will not mind being a bandit and looting the nearby natives to quickly increase their wealth."
Lu Zhou: "I don't understand. I believe in science, not metaphysics."
Although he said he was full, according to Lu Zhou's observation, he didn't move the tableware at all.
…
Lawrence coughed dryly and continued with a slightly unhappy expression.
Lu Zhou: "Oh?"
After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou looked up at Wang Peng who was driving in front of him and said.
Lu Zhou smiled lightly.
"Just like the gravitational force that pulls us back to the ground, continuing the inertia of classic movements, allowing history to return to its original position, this is something that a certain person, a certain company, or even a country cannot stop, but go with the trend. In order to survive and even be rewarded by history, do you understand what I mean?"
It wasn't until the waiter brought the dishes that the stiffness in the air was broken.
Lu Zhou: "Yes, then after our win-win situation, will Starry Sky Technology be my Starry Sky Technology or your Starry Sky Technology? Will it be a Chinese high-tech enterprise or an American high-tech enterprise?"
In the end, Lawrence left without even finishing his meal.
But to be honest, the taste of this restaurant is really good, and if nothing else goes wrong, he will probably come back several times.
Just as he opened the door and got into the car, Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had just finished making a call and stuffed his phone back into his pocket.
"In the history of Chinese civilization, we usually use derogatory terms like 'Japanese pirates' or 'pirates' to refer to pirates... In our culture, piracy is not a profession worthy of showing off or being glorious."
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou put the matter aside, turned off his penis and opened his scarf.
But what is admirable is that even so, he still maintained the demeanor of a noble. He stiffly retracted his outstretched right hand and sat back like a robot.
"No need."
Lawrence's handsome face was stiff, and his smile was frozen there as if it had been sprinkled with formalin.
The car is on the road.
"Go directly back to Zhongshan International."
Did you delete it yourself
"Then we'll see."
Looking at Lu Zhou who was silent, Lawrence put his hands on the table and stood up gently.
"That's a pity," Lawrence sighed softly. "Maybe next time, you won't just have to face small players like Exxon Mobil and Tesla, but a wave that even I will feel hurt by. The power of the brain.”
Lawrence: "Okay, just treat me as nonsense... Do you really not think about it anymore?"
"May I know why? I think my proposal is perfect."
"It is also disgraceful in our culture. If you are found to be a pirate, you will be hanged in the port, dried in the sun, and allowed to be eaten by crows... But only if you are discovered," Lawrence shrugged. , continued, "One hundred percent profit, the capital is just one boat, which is enough for people to do many things."
Time and space seemed to be frozen, terrifyingly stiff.
"Yeah?"
The awkward air lingered on the dining table.
Just when he opened the likes list and was about to find the article he hadn't read just now and see what the owner of that article had to say, he found that the article was gone.
"Okay, we will help you arrange it... By the way, has your research on the Riemann Hypothesis made any progress?"
Lu Zhou, who was leaning on his seat, took out his mobile phone and opened Bihu.
He clicked on the email and took a look. Just when Lu Zhou was thinking about how to express to the organizer tactfully that he was not ready for what he wanted to report, he suddenly froze.
"For me, being able to engage in the research I like as I please is what is really important, and this is also my original intention in founding Star Technology and Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. In comparison, having more money is secondary. Yes, so you told me, if you can turn 100 billion into 200 billion, or even multiple times... what does that have to do with me?"
Damn it, I forgot to take a screenshot.
Just when he was about to interact with his fans for a while, an unread email reminder suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.
