Chapter 48: Thin
"Teacher Zhou, before signing the contract with Peking University, I have a few things I want to confirm with you. Once everything is confirmed, we can sign the agreement!" In front of these top people, Wu Tong spoke frankly. She did not have the ability to play tricks.
"What are the problems, classmate Wu Tong? Are there any shortcomings in the conditions mentioned before?" This young classmate turned a blind eye to Hua Qing's financial temptation, which made them full of praise.
"Beijing University will follow the final plan, and the scholarship will not be less than the 500,000 yuan promised by Huaqing."
Once they say this, they will not deny it.
"It's not these. What Peking University has given has exceeded my expectations!" Wu Tong said matter-of-factly: "What I want to confirm with Teacher Zhou is, if I sign the recommendation agreement, can I still take the college entrance examination? I promised my brother that I would take the college entrance examination with him, and I also want to experience the college entrance examination venue!"
Failure to take the college entrance examination was an obsession in her past life and the driving force behind her efforts over the past six months. She wanted to end it herself.
The first place in a mathematics competition is of great value, and ordinary people may not be well aware of it, but the top scorer in the college entrance examination is known to everyone in the country from top to bottom.
She wanted to give the honor of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination to her family, and leave the honor of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination to the school, so that the higher-level education system could pay attention to Xincheng No. 1 High School and bring certain resource subsidies to Xincheng No. 1 High School, which would also be a return to her alma mater.
Xincheng’s educational resources are scarce, and she only has some learning ability. Her personal capacity is limited, so she can only do her best with what she has!
"Of course you can. Although we don't need to look at the college entrance examination scores after you are directly recommended, if you are willing to take the college entrance examination and have a complete experience, there is no problem at all! Haha... With Wu Tong's current results and stable performance, are you ready to reserve the title of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Zhongyuan Province?"
He can get 746 points in the five-province league. Even without the competition, he will be the top pick that Peking University and Huaqing University have been eyeing in advance.
"If you can win the IMO gold medal and also take the top spot in the college entrance examination, I can guarantee that you will receive a minimum of 10,000 yuan in subsidies every month during your college years. You will be able to get a lot of scholarships every year, and I can even make an exception and help you apply for a 1 million yuan scholarship for admission to the university!"
He still said that Kyoto University's scholarships are never afraid of outstanding students obtaining them.
If Wu Tong had been able to perform stably in the college entrance examination and still achieved such an amazing score of almost full marks, he probably wouldn't even have needed the 20 extra points for the national first prize in the CMO competition, and would have been a guaranteed top scorer in the national college entrance examination!
Breaking history in this way, combining the honor of being an IMO gold medalist and the top scorer in the college entrance examination in one person, can be said to be a miracle that has never happened since the college entrance examination was resumed. Such a miracle belongs to Kyoto University. It is conceivable how much publicity it will bring to Kyoto University's reputation!
Kyoto University will never be stingy and will certainly encourage you with heavy scholarships that are worthy of the glorious honor!
"One million?"
The Jin family and Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu, who were listening in, were horrified. What kind of astronomical figure was this? Weren't they discussing Wu Tong's recommendation for university? How did it get to such a huge amount?
"Teacher Zhou, what do our Tongtong need to do to meet these conditions?" Wu Jingye and Jin Yuan spoke almost at the same time. Having been in business for many years, the two brothers believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Jingda gave Tongtong such good conditions, what do they want Tongtong to do? They would never sell the child, and they would ask clearly in advance, and it would not be too cautious.
One million, plus various subsidies. Jin Yuan asked himself, he has been in business for so many years, and all his assets added up may not be this much, so they have to be cautious.
In a small county town, who among ordinary families has ever seen so much money!
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Jin, and everyone else, you can rest assured. This is a reward from Peking University to outstanding students. As long as Wu Tong studies hard and continues to excel, these are just the beginning, not the end. There really is a golden house in books, and studying really can make money!" Teacher Zhou's tone became softer, calming the fears of the Jin and Wu families.
······
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, and thank you for your encouragement from Kyoto University. I have no objection to your first question. As for the second question, if I enter Kyoto University, can I skip a grade and complete my studies?"
She wants to go further on the path of research, even staying in school or entering a relevant research center. Postgraduate or doctoral studies are standard options.
With her learning ability, following the normal academic schedule step by step would be a waste of time for her and would hinder her from making rapid progress.
"That's absolutely no problem. Kyoto University never restricts absolutely outstanding students from following the routine!"
Teacher Zhou's eyes lit up. The fact that Wu Tong could ask this question showed that she was absolutely confident in herself and believed that she could do it. The source of this confidence was probably from her learning progress.
"College courses, especially pure mathematics, are not as easy to graduate early as high school. Wu Tong, I think you should study college textbooks on your own. Can I ask what your progress is now?"
"I have already mastered advanced mathematics, linear algebra, and other basic university textbooks by myself. Now I am studying number theory. Unfortunately, I can only borrow elementary number theory from our county library!"
The information in the county was limited, so Wu Tong had already borrowed all the books on mathematics. This was her second time borrowing elementary number theory.
The more she studied, the more she became fascinated by the beauty of mathematics.
She was very interested in the several major conjectures mentioned briefly.
Zhou's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, and Fibonacci sequence. Are there infinite prime numbers?
3X+1 hail hypothesis?
Even the Goldbach conjecture, the crown jewel of number theory, which is most respected by Chinese people...
In 1966, after the pride of China, Mr. Jingrun, proved that "1+2" was true, that is, "any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, or the sum of a prime number and a semi-prime number", the strong conjecture of the Goldbach conjecture remained an unsolved mystery.
These conjectures are like pearls hidden in an attic without stairs. If you want to see the splendor of the pearls, you must use your own mathematical knowledge to transform into steps, so that you can explore and see the splendor of those pearls and treasures.
Have you mastered all the basic university textbooks? Have you even touched upon the field of number theory, which is only explored by pure mathematics graduate students?
This learning progress once again shocked a group of Kyoto University teachers and student representatives.
Li Yishen was an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. He also had some superficial research in number theory. He immediately became interested and tore off a piece of scratch paper, quickly wrote out a math problem and handed it to Wu Tong.
"Come on, classmate Wu Tong, take a look at this question and tell us what you think about it!" Li Yishen added this sentence deliberately. He didn't mean to embarrass the child, he just wanted to see how Wu Tong mastered the knowledge through self-study, so that when Wu Tong enters school in the future, he can teach him according to his aptitude.
As long as Wu Tong can simply explain some solutions to the problem without actually solving it, he can be sure that Wu Tong has truly learned something.
Several student representatives on the side glanced at the questions and felt that it seemed that they knew the words, but the questions did not know them. What was going on?
Why do I feel like a dog trying to eat a hedgehog, not knowing where to start?
Although they are not students majoring in pure mathematics, they are still students of Peking University after all. Why do they seem to have brought shame to Peking University?
