Chapter 520

Xu Qingzhou spent 2 days helping Song Yao build a liquidity capture and game model in high-frequency trading, enough to complete iceberg order detection, deal with large order shocks, and perform game strategy optimization, and also capture high-frequency shorting opportunities for Tesla stock.

After all, it was done for his partner, so he put in 120% effort, trying his best to make it perfect.

For example, adding quantum game theory, encoding the game payoff matrix into quantum states, and using quantum parallelism to accelerate Nash equilibrium calculation can effectively suppress cross-market liquidity linkage that traditional methods cannot handle.

Next, there was nothing for him to do on the school beauty Song's side for the time being. Subsequent iterations and coupling involving model algorithms would have to wait until next month.

Perhaps because of the Twitter Carson posted.

These days, Xu Qingzhou's mailbox had many more investment-related emails, hoping to cooperate with him. They provided financial support; for example, Google and IBM had both extended olive branches.

Even the school sent people over to ask Xu Qingzhou if he wanted foundation investment.

Research Management Office.

"Hmm, I see. Thank you, Mr. Jess." Wilson hung up the phone, looked helplessly at the old man opposite, and shrugged: "He refused."

The old man was one of the heads of the board of directors, Odi Bush.

Bush frowned: "As far as I know, Professor Xu's funds are not sufficient... Could it be that he really intends to make superconducting thin films with a mere two million?"

"He has already succeeded, hasn't he."

Wilson sighed and said helplessly: "I have already begun to suspect whether it was a wrong decision to only collect a 1% one-time share."

Making industrial-grade superconducting thin films in such a short time, and from scratch, to a certain extent shows the team's future, although this future is not as bright as a mature team.

But once Xu Qingzhou's experiment is successful, it will be a huge income, even for MIT.

"Wilson, this is not your fault. Past investments prove that the decisions you made were all correct. Forgive me for being blunt, MIT is not short of teams that can make industrial-grade superconducting thin films..."

Odi Bush laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, some short-sighted guys on the board of directors don't look favorably on this investment, saying it is a waste of money and it would be better to take it to add an STM/ALD scanning tunneling microscope for the physics department... Professor Xu refused our kindness, so they don't have to nag in front of me all day."

He paused, his eyes looking out the window, "Maybe as that guy Oris said, we should take out the funds to consolidate existing research results, just like the James team's experiment."

"Maybe."

Wilson shrugged, secretly sighing that a genius's personality is indeed tricky and strange. After all, no matter how you look at it, accepting investment is the best choice.

Whether a large-scale experiment is successful or not, besides the leader's ability, funding is also one of the most critical factors.

That's right, Xu Qingzhou declined all intentions of investment cooperation one by one.

Once external funds are accepted, one will be constrained by the investors, which is something he has been avoiding.

On Song Yao's side, she had already finished order book analysis and event-driven strategy, and was doing the final finishing touches on the micro-level reaction model. According to her plan, she could finish this shorting paper before April.

At that time, after finishing the project with Professor Morton, her two-year study abroad career would end.

Except for the YO nano-doping scheme in Xu Qingzhou's hands, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Carson and the others were making very smooth progress. Preliminary estimates were that within a week, they could finish the gradient transition layer.

Thus, he also refocused his energy on YO gradient doping. This is the most urgent matter at present and must be solved before the New Year.

After making a good sample, he could hand it over to Carson and the others for iteration and performance optimization, and he could go home with peace of mind. Otherwise, the progress would be delayed by at least ten days.

Late January, 25th, sunny.

8:30 AM.

In the apartment living room, Xu Qingzhou's gaze stayed on the manuscript in front of him, frowning and pondering. Although it was morning, his eyeballs were bloodshot, obviously having stayed up late many times these days.

Er Miao lay at the corner of the table, yawning, looking even less energetic than Xu Qingzhou. Hearing the sound of the automatic feeder working, its ears moved, it jumped down, and then walked with elegant little steps to eat breakfast.

After a while, Song Yao finished her makeup and came out in slippers. Seeing Xu Qingzhou motionless, she pursed her lips and walked over.

"What time did you stay up until last night?"

Song Yao hugged Xu Qingzhou from behind, the hot air she exhaled resting on Xu Qingzhou's ear, making him unable to help but shrink his neck.

"2 o'clock." Xu Qingzhou stopped thinking, feeling a bit guilty. He sniffed, and the faint fragrance of gardenias on the girl was very refreshing.

Last night, at 12:00 AM, when he was about to prepare to rest, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, so he applied for an overnight stay to the school beauty Song.

He hoped to stay up until 1:00 AM and even received special approval.

"Really?"

Song Yao bit the boy's ear.

Xu Qingzhou felt a bit ashamed and felt pressure from these two words from the school beauty Song. He could only honestly admit: "I plead guilty, I stayed up until 3:00 AM. Hiss~ Teacher Song, if you bite again, it's going to fall off~"

Xu Qingzhou begged for mercy.

The school beauty Song obviously didn't use force, but the slight stinging sensation on his ear, combined with the hot air she exhaled, made it very easy for people to get excited.

This girl didn't know at all how seductive this action of hers was.

After seducing him, calling him a big pervert, and then innocently running away...

Song Yao's consistent style.

"Hmph~ consider you honest, otherwise I would bite it off."

Song Yao got up from Xu Qingzhou, but wasn't in a hurry to leave. She coiled around Xu Qingzhou's head. He had just cut his hair a few days ago, and the short hair slid across her palm, prickly and itchy, very comfortable.

"Just stay up late, see what you do when you become bald one day."

"I don't know if staying up late will make me bald, but if you keep pulling like this, I will definitely become bald." Xu Qingzhou shook his head, but still didn't escape the school beauty Song's claws, "Besides, do you know there is an unwritten rule in the world that only by becoming bald can you become strong."

Song Yao despised: "Heh, you think you are One Punch Man."

"You actually watched it?" Xu Qingzhou was surprised.

"Jiahui recommended it."

Song Yao squinted at the window. The sun had already come out, and the brilliant sunlight sprinkled on the earth. She could vaguely see the shimmering waves on the Charles River. Good weather always makes people feel happy, "Can't I watch anime?"

"Just feel it doesn't fit your persona."

Xu Qingzhou enjoyed Song Yao's head massage, which was very comfortable. There was a reason why Er Miao was prone to sleeping soundly. He said lazily: "The image of the school beauty Song, cold, aloof from the world... Think about yourself before, I remember meeting you one morning, 'strangers stay away'... Woo~"

Song Yao used her hand to block the mouth of this annoying person, muttering: "I can even pee."

"..."

"You really have changed." Xu Qingzhou shook his head and sighed.

Actually, the school beauty Song had changed long ago, more popular than before, and now she is a cold and arrogant 'ying-ying' monster.
