Xiao Tong wasn't the only one surprised at the popularity of her Econometrica thesis; Lu Zhou was also surprised. He had just returned to his hometown, preparing to cut off connection with the outside world and focus on solving Riemann's hypothesis. However, before his holidays were even over, his mailbox was filled to the brim with emails.
Some of them were sent from his old friends in Princeton, others were sent from people he didn't know, but it seemed like they were all scholars in the fields of macroeconomics and computational economics research. Many of them were quite famous.
These emails were how Lu Zhou found out that his mathematical model was gaining attention in the economics field. Apparently, there were several economics seminars held around the world regarding his mathematical model.
