Chapter 327: Chapter 125: It’s All About the Mindset_3

Tian Yanzhen also gave a definite response, feeling no need to be petty and secretive.

In fact, just by observing that whether it’s the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center collaborating with Yanbei University or the Huaqing Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Research Center collaborating with Huaqing, neither institution has responded to online self-media reports to refute them, you can already understand a lot.

In reality, in many specialized fields, large companies often outperform universities.

However, specifically from the public relations perspective, Huaxia’s universities frequently utilize strategies that, although sometimes seem rigidly adapted from textbooks, are still far more appropriate than those of large companies.

Being silent when necessary, voicing out when required, and even if they can’t manage public sentiment promptly, at least they don’t make maneuvers that exacerbate the negative sentiment.

Especially Yanbei and Huaqing, these two top universities.

There have been numerous negative sentiments over the years, but most are controllably influenced. Their handling methods are much more professional than some Fortune 500 companies.

In short, the collaboration and training between these two large math research centers have led many to detect some intangible nuances, increasing their focus on this name.

This is precisely what Tian Yanzhen hoped to see.

If it were another student, he might worry that the pressure would have adverse effects.

But after interacting over the past few months, Tian Yanzhen had no such concerns.

Qiao Yu possesses strong psychological adjustment and adaptability skills, often able to unleash more astonishing creativity under pressure, serving as a pressure-resistant prototype. In the absence of pressure, there might arise thoughts of laxity.

As for the first formal project Qiao Yu is undertaking, which is on Huaqing’s side, Tian Yanzhen is even less worried.

After all, the affiliation on Qiao Yu’s second independent paper is filled in as the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

Even if the project research succeeds, when the paper is published, the institution remains the same, and no one can change that.

Tian Yanzhen negotiated a series of conditions with Elder Yuan after Qiao Yu’s academic record was transferred to Yanbei University. Naturally, the undergraduate degree is still from Yanbei University, but during the integrated master’s and doctoral studies, Qiao Yu will follow a special "1+1" joint training model.

Moreover, during the master’s and doctoral stages, all research projects by Qiao Yu will be funded from both sides.

In other words, during the integrated master’s and doctoral phase, Qiao Yu will study and research for a period at both Yanbei and Huaqing. By the time of doctoral graduation, he will directly receive graduate and doctoral degree certificates issued by both sides’ math research centers.

In short, he held the initiative, thus controlling the advantage.

Even if the other side is unwilling, they have to accept it.

At this moment, Tian Yanzhen sat relaxed in the car, flipping through a newspaper as there was an important meeting at the Academy of Sciences today, so he did not head directly to the math research center.

The phone placed beside him suddenly rang.

Tian Yanzhen glanced at the display, answered the call, and said, "Good morning, Professor Zhang."

"Hello, Professor Tian. I’m calling to specifically thank you. Your student Qiao Yu is truly efficient, as preliminary experiments have already yielded results today, and the problem has been completely solved. He has really helped me out this time."

"Ah? Already resolved?" Tian Yanzhen was somewhat surprised, as Qiao Yu had not yet reported this matter to him.

Key is that it had only been three days since he assigned this matter to Qiao Yu, so he had not inquired. This lad quietly handled everything without a word?

"Indeed, Qiao Yu didn’t report to you? When he came the day before last, he already pointed out the problem. Our laboratory followed his method, and the situation is now stable. The effect is surprisingly good. Using activated carbon for preliminary tests alone increased production efficiency by twenty percent.

If better materials are used, and complete data is produced, the lab data will look very impressive! I don’t even know how to thank him. You know, in the past, other professors only helped tweak the models without directly providing suggestions. But this time, Qiao Yu not only redid the model but also directly provided experimental suggestions."

Tian Yanzhen understood why the other party specifically called him.

If it were just about adjusting the model, after the lab results were completed, treating to a meal would suffice. After all, the math research center only helped adjust the model according to the data, while the laboratory itself fitted, simulated, and analyzed the issues through the model.

Moreover, whether it’s the School of Mathematics or the Math Research Center, many applied projects require collaboration with the Chemistry Academy.

For instance, in Natural Science Foundation projects, such as new methods for antibody drug screening and optimization combining high-dimensional statistics and artificial intelligence; AI-driven cross-scale simulation and key material design for lithium batteries.

Math professors apply for these, but without cooperation with the chemistry labs and first-hand data, these projects can’t be completed.

After completing such projects, major contributors in assisting labs are usually credited.

Similarly, if critical experimental steps for a chemistry project were carried out following Qiao Yu’s directly pointed-out issues, the contribution would be significant, especially since this is a cross-disciplinary project...

If Qiao Yu were someone else’s student, it would be one thing, but he happens to be his student. Now, being a joint trainee of the two major math research centers, it’s understandable that the other side might not know how best to show their gratitude.
