Chapter 509 This Is a Really Nice Thing to Say
The leisurely days passed like this for more than half a month.
These days, Xu Chuan basically travels back and forth between Nanda University, Xinghai Research Institute and the villa at the foot of Purple Mountain. The scope of his activities is basically fixed.
He thought that the top management would release the news about miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion soon, but as a result, there has been no news since the old man returned.
So much so that he was holding back the corresponding papers he had written.
Although he was not sure what the above thought was, Xu Chuan did not pay too much attention to these things. After leaving the task of keeping an eye on relevant media such as "Nuclear Industry Times" and "Hua Xin News" to his assistant, he Don't worry about this anymore.
At NTU, after finishing a math class, Xu Chuan returned to the office. As soon as he took a drink of water, his assistant Tang Ran came over.
"Professor, Mr. Zeng Yuqun, the chairman of CATL, would like to meet with you."
Xu Chuan: "President of CATL?"
Tang Ran nodded and said, "Well, he arrived not long after you went to class. If it's inconvenient, I'll refuse him."
Xu Chuan was a little curious: "What did he want from me? Did he tell me?"
It seems that he only dealt with Ningde Times once, that is, the artificial SEI film patent authorization for lithium batteries. Ningde Times obtained both domestic and international authorizations from him at a price of 300 million meters of gold.
Apart from that, it can be said that he has no communication with the other party.
Tang Ran: "From what Mr. Zeng Yuqun said, it should be related to the patent of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute under your name. He said he wanted to cooperate with you."
Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Since I'm here, let's meet him."
If he remembers correctly, CATL seems to only make batteries and battery-related products, right?
Of course, it's possible that he doesn't know much about it. After all, it seems unrealistic for a Fortune 500 company to only make batteries.
However, he basically didn't care about this kind of thing. What he was curious about was what Chairman Zeng wanted to do with him.
It seems that apart from the artificial SEI film, the patents of the Chuanhai Institute of Materials are not related to batteries and worthy of a visit from the chairman of a Fortune 500 company.
Tang Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll invite him over right away."
At the same time, on the other side, in the reception room of Nanda University, Zeng Yuqun, who was sitting on the sofa, took a deep breath consciously and looked at the door of the reception room with nervous anticipation and apprehension.
For him, today's meeting is undoubtedly very important.
To be honest, he hasn't had such nervousness and anxiety for a long time. If he wanted to recall, the last time he had it was probably at the Science and Technology Conference a few years ago, where he had a few words of conversation.
His emotions at that time were probably similar to those now, nervous yet expectant, apprehensive yet hopeful.
If we can successfully meet the scholar this time, it may completely change the destiny of the Ningde era.
On the wave of the times, as long as you board the big ship that controls the direction of the wave, you will undoubtedly be able to extend your destiny to the future and take a look at the more distant world.
You might even be able to fly into the sky with this.
At this moment, the glass door of the reception room was pushed open, and he immediately looked over, with expectation in his eyes.
Tang Ran nodded and said, "Professor, he agreed, please come with me."
Hearing this, surprise suddenly burst out in Zeng Yuqun's eyes. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Assistant Tang. You are in trouble."
Although the other party's identity is just an assistant, under normal circumstances he is far from worthy of being so polite. But the identity of the assistant is completely different from the person he is following.
Just like the plum-year-old woman in front of her, her status and status have naturally improved countless times following the great scholar who is destined to be famous in textbooks all over the world.
"You're welcome, this is the job I should do." Tang Ran replied, led him to the door of the office, and then knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Soon, a young voice came from inside.
Hearing this, Zeng Yuqun stood at the door and stretched out his hand to gently adjust his tie. He took a deep breath and followed Tang Ran into the office.
"Hello, Academician Xu, it's a great honor to meet you today."
Looking at the figure sitting on the sofa waiting for him, Zeng Yuqun walked up quickly, with a hearty smile and respect on his face and spoke.
Xu Chuan smiled and shook hands with the CEO of CATL: "Hello, Mr. Zeng."
After a few words of greeting, Tang Ran poured tea for the two of them, then turned and left the office, closing the door behind him.
Xu Chuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "Why is a big entrepreneur like Mr. Zeng free to come to my place today?"
Zeng Yuqun smiled and said: "Compared with Academician Xu's research, this work in the Ningde era is nothing. Your name is destined to shine in the long river of civilization and be praised and remembered by the world."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled sheepishly. These words were really nice to hear.
Smiling, he began to exchange business compliments: "If the Fortune 500 companies are nothing, then there are very few companies in the world that matter."
Zeng Yuqun smiled and said: "Although Ningde era's revenue is not bad, the actual profit is really not high. Making batteries is too difficult. It is caught between raw materials and application manufacturers, and the profits are basically taken by upstream and downstream companies. If we leave, we will just earn some hard money.”
After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, I came here today mainly because I wanted to expand the scope of cooperation with the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute under your name, Academician Xu."
Xu Chuan: "Expand the scope of cooperation?"
Zeng Yuqun nodded and said: "I heard that the Chuanhai Institute of Materials developed a new technology for synthesizing high-quality graphene some time ago. It happened that CATL was also studying graphene batteries, and there was a demand for high-quality graphene. Big portion”
Xu Chuan: “So Zeng always wanted to purchase high-quality graphene from Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute?”
Zeng Yuqun shook his head and said with a smile: "I think we can cooperate further."
Xu Chuan: "Do you want to license the patented technology?"
Zeng Yuqun said with a smile: "CATL has the qualifications to produce graphene. I want to further cooperate with Academician Xu. Chuanhai Research Institute will take shares through technology and patents, and CATL will produce and sell it, and then pay related dividends."
To be honest, as a capitalist, if you want to obtain the maximum benefit, then buying out the patent authorization and exclusive license for patent implementation are the most cost-effective.
But Zeng Yuqun knew that judging from Academician Xu's behavior, this was almost impossible.
He probably will not allow such monopolistic patent authorization, as can be seen from the last artificial SEI film patent authorization.
Of course, rather than getting the graphene patent from Academician Xu, he hopes to take this opportunity to connect with him.
What is certain is that as the father of controllable nuclear fusion and winner of the Nobel Prize Fields Medal, the man in front of him is definitely the helmsman who controls the development of this era.
His words can create a huge market.
Compared with obtaining the patent authorization for graphene production, if it can be put online, it will definitely be the most beneficial to the development of CATL.
Therefore, he chose technology shares and dividends that ordinary companies would not choose under normal circumstances, and even gave away most of the profits and equity.
After listening to Zeng Yuqun's words, Xu Chuan thought for a moment.
To be honest, he has some good impressions of CATL.
Not to mention other things, the last time the artificial SEI film patent was granted, CATL’s quotation was almost 15% of that of other manufacturers.
And this time, Mr. Zeng also offered a sincere price.
For a technology, using technology shares to obtain dividends, although the return obtained in the short term is small, in the long term, it is definitely more worthwhile than licensing or buyout.
In his original plan, the high-quality graphene preparation technology of the Chuanhai Institute of Materials would probably be similar to artificial SEI films, and the patent license would be sold directly.
This is convenient, and he can get a huge amount of liquidity without having to worry about it.
Looking at it now, dividends through technology investments are also a good choice.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said: "This kind of cooperation is also possible. If you have production qualifications, I have no objection to technical shares. Let's talk about the share. Then for the specific details, you can go to the Sichuan and Hai Materials Research Institute to find Fan Pengyue. Just deal with it.”
Seeing that Xu Chuan agreed, Zeng Yuqun immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Let's see, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute will invest in the technology and patents of high-quality graphene, and I will fully invest and work together to establish a new graphite production company." company."
"I am responsible for all related affairs of the company. Of course, you have the right to review and can intervene at any time about the company's operations."
"As for the ratio, how about seven or three? Seven for you and three for me."
Hearing this ratio, Xu Chuan glanced at the chairman of CATL with some surprise.
It has to be said that pure technology investment accounts for 70% of the shares, which is already the best.
Under normal circumstances, pure technology shares generally only account for 10%-20% of the total share. If the technology content is high, it can reach more than 30%, and for top-level companies, it can exceed 50%.
But no matter what, according to Article 27, paragraph 3, of the Company Law, the amount of monetary contributions from all shareholders shall not be less than 30% of the registered capital of a limited liability company.
Therefore, technology investment can only be up to 70% of the total registered capital.
Therefore, the ratio given by Boss Zeng is already the highest allowed by Chinese law.
Of course, high-quality graphene production technology is enough to deserve this share.
Nodding, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Okay, let's do that. You can discuss the relevant details with the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute when the time comes."
If someone gives him money, he will definitely not refuse it.
After all, scientific research requires a lot of money. Whether it is Chuanhai Materials Research Institute or Chuanhai Network Technology Co., Ltd., they both require a large amount of funds to invest in support.
Zeng Yuqun smiled and nodded, stood up and said, "That's for sure. I won't disturb Academician Xu's research work today."
Xu Chuan stood up and walked to the door: "Go slowly."
After seeing off Zeng Yuqun, Xu Chuan returned to his office and sat at his desk. He picked up the mathematics journal and continued to read it. From time to time, he would think about it and check the calculations on the manuscript paper with a pen.
At this time, an email suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
"Ding, there is an email you are interested in."
The clear voice interrupted Xu Chuan's reading. He put down the journal article in his hand and reached out to click the mouse.
There are only a few people who can be followed by his star email, and he doesn't know who sent the email.
At first glance, the title and sender of the email appeared in front of him.
"Brother! Praise me!"
Seeing the title and sender of the email, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile.
I haven't received the email from Xu Xiao for a long time.
And this title.
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan clicked on the email. There was nothing in the email, only a link.
He clicked on it, and the link pointed to a report.
"Recently, a team from the Neuroscience Research Institute of Mizuki University published a paper in the journal Science, reporting a method of implanting electrodes in the monkey's brain and then forming a certain vision without passing through the retina."
"Although this may not be the first application of similar technology, this time the researchers have made unprecedented progress in several key parameters. The sensor implanted in the monkey's brain has 1024 electrodes, and the simulated visual signals it generates have a high resolution, which can reach the level of allowing monkeys to recognize English letters on the screen."
"This technology brings great hope to people who have lost their vision. As long as special sensors are implanted in the brain, they may not rely on the eyes to perceive visual signals."
"There is no doubt that this research has laid the foundation for the application of neural prosthetic devices. In the future, this type of technology may be able to help completely blind people regain functional vision, perform object recognition, navigate unfamiliar environments, and provide Improve their autonomy in life. "
"."
"In addition, according to our reporter, Professor Fu Wei, the person in charge of the project, said that in this study, the person who made the greatest contribution was not himself, but his student Xu Xiao. "
"The student made a huge contribution to the project. He redesigned a complete mathematical model for the multi-electrode array, which can greatly stabilize the stability of EEG signals and the resolution of artificial images. "
"It is understood that Xu Xiao, who is studying at Shuimu University, is only 22 years old this year. For a student, this should be a learning stage, but she has already walked a long distance on the road of scientific research. "
"Of course, this is inseparable from her family education. According to our station, Xu Xiao, who made a major contribution to the project this time, is the sister of Academician Xu Chuan, a famous scientist in my country. "
"A family of twins, both on the path of scientist research, it must be said that the power of role models is infinite! "
