Qiao Yu really doesn't boast about these people.
The whole world knows he researches at the fastest speed. Even if those big shots have been working on their projects for two or three years. But since they came to him for help, it clearly indicates that the path they took before isn't working.
There's nothing to be afraid of then.
No one who can defeat him in his specialized field has been born yet.
This confidence is not unfounded; it's given by these very people.
After all, if they truly had the ability, what were they doing before? Is it being modest? Are they afraid the seniors will pick all the low-hanging fruits from the apple tree and leave nothing for the juniors?
So they deliberately leave unresolved problems like the Riemann Conjecture, N-S equation, P=NP problem, Hodge conjecture, and so on for the later generations of mathematics?
Yes, that's how the confidence builds up.
