Chapter 1326: Taking a Slave for Fun

Shi Lei stood up and took the initiative to pour Kong Fandong a glass of water.

"Uncle Kong, calm down and have a drink of water."

It was really busy today, so busy that no one even had time to drink water. The main thing was that everyone was very nervous and no one could take care of such a small thing as drinking water.

Because the two experts said they were leaving, Kong Fandong rushed to the institute at more than seven o'clock in the morning. After the two experts were taken away by the military, Shi Lei immediately devoted himself to the demonstration of the experiment.

The whole process lasted until lunch.

After the results came out, the scientists of the institute immediately began to verify the data. They were so busy that they didn't even have lunch. Shi Lei secretly ordered a meal. After it was delivered, everyone also wolfed down their stomachs and then nervously paid attention to the verification results.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. When Kong Fandong saw this glass of water, he finally remembered that he didn't even have time to drink water today.

It was really exciting. There was no reason not to be excited.

However, after drinking this glass of water, Kong Fandong calmed down a lot. He realized that this research and development was not only a breakthrough, but also greatly improved the previous achievements.

The two experts had made many requests before, and now it is still unknown what kind of requests they will make.

It seems that it is too early to get excited. Let's listen to the requirements conveyed by Shi Lei first.

Kong Fandong secretly made up his mind that he could pay up to 5% of the shares.

In other words, Kong Fandong holds all the shares of the entire research institute. He gave Shi Lei 10% before, and promised Bai Kaishui 5%. Later, he promised to give Shi Lei another 5%. If he adds the 5% he is willing to pay now, then his remaining shares will only be 70%.

Of course, the 5% in Bai Kaishui's hands can be regarded as still controlled by him, because Bai Kaishui promised that if he and Kong Yue got married, then he would transfer the shares to Kong Yue's name and Kong Yue would hold them, so as to maximize the shares that Kong Fandong can control.

But he had to give 20% of the 70% to the scientists first. He couldn't say that they were just getting a dead salary, right? He had already agreed with the scientists on 20% early on.

Of course, due to the technical difficulties in the middle, this bottleneck forced Kong Fandong to pay a certain price to get the patent given to him by Shi Lei. Considering that this breakthrough would significantly increase the valuation of the institute after it was transformed into a company, it was conservatively estimated that increasing the valuation by 50% would not be a big problem. Then, Kong Fandong was sure to convince the scientists to share this part of the cost with him.

It shouldn't be difficult for each of the five points this time, which means that he only needs to give the scientists 17.5%, and maybe it can be lowered a little.

At least, before the company's first round of financing, his personal shares were completely more than 50%, achieving perfect control.

Even after the first round of financing, as long as he could control the five points of shares in Bai Kaishui's hands, he could still achieve control from a technical level.

This was enough for Kong Fandong.

As long as the request was not related to the shares, Kong Fandong felt that he could agree to it.

After careful consideration, Kong Fandong put down his water cup and said, "Mr. Shi, let's talk about the requirements of the two experts." After a pause, he added, "Or the requirements of the military."

Shi Lei smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The two experts have no additional requirements. This requirement is my personal requirement."

Kong Fandong's heart sank, and he was more certain that Shi Lei was going to raise the price and wanted to hold more shares.

But this is not surprising. In business, the breakthrough of this technical bottleneck is definitely worth billions to Kong Fandong, so he dared to promise Shi Lei five points of shares as a price before the two experts arrived.

You know, according to the agreement between Shi Lei and Kong Fandong, the current valuation of this research institute has reached 4 billion, 5%, that is 200 million.

And now the bottleneck has not only been broken, but it has even far exceeded Kong Fandong's expectations. 400 million is also worth it.

Kong Fandong nodded, stretched out a hand, and just wanted to speak, but Shi Lei waved his hand and asked him not to speak for the time being.

Shi Lei said, "Uncle Kong and I had a verbal agreement before. If these two experts can really help you break through the technical bottleneck, you will pay five points of shares as compensation."

Kong Fandong nodded, but Shi Lei still didn't give him a chance to speak.

Shi Lei said again, "Uncle Kong, don't worry. I'm not raising the price just because I saw that the technical breakthrough exceeded the original expectations. Five points, it's still five points."

Kong Fandong didn't understand what Shi Lei meant.

"Mr. Shi, you tell me."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "In our original verbal agreement, there was another clause, that is, I will apply for a separate patent for this technical breakthrough. Uncle Kong, please forgive me for taking the lead, because I said that the breakthrough was actually completed seven days ago. At that time, I had already submitted a patent application for this technology. Someone above helped me to say hello, this patent has passed the review, and the patent book will be sent to me in one or two days."

Kong Fandong knew that this was where Shi Lei was cautious, and this was originally his right. Although this made Kong Fandong feel a little uncomfortable, it was still within the scope of what he could accept.

"This is what we agreed on. It would be better for you to apply as early as possible to ensure that this technology is in our hands. To be honest, I am really worried about what new requirements the two experts will have."

Shi Lei smiled slightly and said: "But you see, this patent was originally expected to lead the new energy technology industry by five years or more, but now, conservatively estimated, it is definitely not a problem to lead the new energy technology industry by fifteen years, right? ?”

Kong Fandong nodded.

"Then, as we agreed at the beginning, I authorized the use for twenty years, which is a bit inappropriate. Because if the technology is not guaranteed, it will be nearly twenty years ahead. Even if the twenty-year authorization expires, this technology will still be We are at the forefront of new energy technology in the world, so I have thought twice about completely transferring this patent to you.”

Kong Fandong was shocked. He said, "Master Shi, didn't you say that you still want to continue development and research?"

"Research and development still needs to be done, but it's not me, it's you."

Kong Fandong frowned, completely confused. He was going to continue research and development, so what kind of requirement was this?

"Me?" Kong Fandong decided to go straight to the point: "Master Shi, you'd better just state your request directly."

"What I need is for you, Uncle Kong, to sign a contract with me."

"contract?"

Shi Lei nodded and said: "Yes, it is a contract. The content of this contract is that I will transfer the patent to you. At the same time, before this patent loses its leading position, you will be my leader in this patent." spokesperson.”

"Spokesperson?" Kong Fandong thought carefully and wondered, what does this spokesperson mean?

"Yes, spokesperson. As long as this patent is still at the forefront of technology, anytime I need you to continue to research and develop it, you must do it unconditionally. To put it bluntly, within the scope of this patent and subsequent research and development, you are just a Executor. What I say, you do.”

"Isn't that the same as a slave?" Kong Fandong was stunned.

"It's okay if you insist on understanding it this way, but it's limited to the patent itself."
