I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 535 Site Selection for Kyoto Materials Research Institute
At 3 pm, Xu Qingzhou returned to the apartment.

Song Yao was on a conference call with Professor Morton who was attending a meeting on Wall Street.

"Well, now we have completed the comparison of the valuation logic differences of the three companies and the relationship between the industry beta coefficient and capital cost. Well, for example, the cash flow forecast of new energy vehicle companies needs to include the sustainability analysis of government subsidies."

As School Beauty Song spoke, she gently twirled the pen in her hand, exuding the aura of a strong woman.

Xu Qingzhou made an OK gesture to Song Yao and sat down to rest.

After a while, Song Yao finished the call, and the professional aura on her body instantly dissipated. She came over in slippers and fell on Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou adjusted his posture so that School Beauty Song could lie more comfortably. "It's done. It's the condition you proposed last night."

"The people from GE are quite bold." Song Yao commented that, as far as the general market is concerned, the conditions they proposed were indeed harsh, after all, based on the fact that Xu Qingzhou and his team's experiment would achieve the final effect.

"Five hundred million."

Xu Qingzhou played with the girl's hair, curling it up with his fingers and then letting it go, and said with emotion: "I finally earned back the money I put into my wife."

Although I'm not ecstatic, it's still very memorable to earn the first huge sum of money after my rebirth.

"Unfortunately, my plan to support you will have to be postponed again."

Song Yao rubbed Xu Qingzhou's face.

5 million, in US dollars, converted into RMB it is almost 40 billion, a huge sum that makes people feel a little dazed.

The probability of the sponsorship plan, which was originally 0, has now turned into a negative number.

"Teacher Song needs to keep working hard."

Xu Qingzhou reached down with his claws, but Song Yao had anticipated this and blocked it with his hand.

Song Yao curled her lips, stretched her body, touched the tablet on the table, and said, "The agency contract of Zero Point Technology has been sent."

ZeroPoint Technologies Ltd.

This is the name of the offshore company they thought of. "Zero Point" is a metaphor for disruptive innovation and will become a "breaker" in the industry.

Xu Qingzhou took the tablet and glanced at it briefly, "Have you seen it?"

"Yeah, I checked it out, no problem."

As Song Yao spoke, her hand slowly crept into Xu Qingzhou's sweater.

"That's all. Hiss~ You want claws?"

"Xu Qingzhou, I didn't even ask you when you touched me!"

"I didn't ask, I just did it. I won't say anything more, you can do whatever you want."

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingzhou took a taxi to a hotel in Boston, which was the meeting address arranged by the Xia State Office in Boston.

At the hotel entrance, Xu Qingzhou met Zhang Xiaohui. Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked slightly older than him.

Zhang Xiaohui smiled and said, "Professor Xu, let me introduce you to Director Zhong Ren from the Ministry of Science and Technology."

"Hello, Director Zhong."

Xu Qingzhou stretched out his hand.

Zhong Renxiao shook Xu Qingzhou's hand enthusiastically and said, "Professor Xu, I have heard of you for a long time. Today we finally meet. I apologize for disturbing you."

"You're welcome."

Zhong Ren looked at Xu Qingzhou and said with emotion: "Professor Xu looks much younger than on TV."

"Then I'm at a disadvantage. I don't look photogenic."

“Hahaha, Professor Xu, please.” After the three of them exchanged greetings, Zhong Ren’s face gradually became serious, and he said directly: “Professor Xu, I heard that you met with the heads of Siemens and General Electric today.”

"Yeah, that's right." Xu Qingzhou was not surprised. Zhong Ren would definitely pay attention to his movements before coming over.

Zhong Ren said sincerely: "Professor Xu, since this matter is of great importance, I will also speak frankly. If possible, I ask you not to sell the exclusive rights. At the very least, do not sell it all at once to foreign companies."

"I know what you're worried about."

As a veteran who has been in scientific research for more than ten years, Xu Qingzhou has some awareness of this. He foolishly sold the patent to others, but was constrained in turn.

He said calmly: "At present, I have reached a cooperation intention with GE to sell exclusive licenses outside the Xiaguo market, so that the technology will not be monopolized by foreign countries. As for my technology, I will license it to domestic companies at a suitable price."

"Have you reached a cooperation intention?"

Zhang Xiaohui and Zhong Ren were both a little surprised. They didn't expect these people to be so fast.

"Yes, there is nothing to hide. GE will not announce the project on its official website in the future. The advance payment is $5 million and the sales share is 6%."

hiss~
Both of them were a little surprised and marveled at General Electric's boldness.

Of course, they had already understood the situation of Xu Qingzhou's patents clearly before they came. According to the current market price, it was around 3 million.

Of course, to a certain extent, this may further illustrate the value of the superconducting film in Xu Qingzhou's hands.

"No matter what, Professor Xu, on behalf of the country, I thank you and thank you for your understanding."

Zhong Ren said helplessly: "Developed countries restrict other countries' products from entering the market by setting strict technical standards, thus consolidating their monopoly in the high-tech field. Xiaguo is being held back in many fields. If this happens again with superconducting thin films, we will be forced to pay sky-high licensing fees for CFETR magnets alone, and our iteration and upgrade will be controlled by others."

Today, the international IEEE/IEC standards for superconducting films are still dominated by Europe and the United States. Although Xiaguo is trying hard to catch up, there is still a gap in the preparation process.

Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said seriously: "Please don't say that. As a Xia citizen, this is my duty and responsibility."

"However, I believe that there will be more and more talents like Professor Xu in the future."

Zhang Xiaohui complimented from the side.

"You're too kind." Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly.

Everyone talked about GE's authorization for a while. After the most important thing was discussed, Zhong Ren and Zhang Xiaohui immediately breathed a sigh of relief and transitioned to Xu Qingzhou's Materials Research Institute.

Zhang Xiaohui handed over a stack of information: "Professor Xu, this is the detailed information of the Materials Research Institute. The original plan was for Peking University and Shuimu to jointly build an interdisciplinary platform, but now it has been specially approved for you to run the research institute."

Xu Qingzhou took it, read through the documents one by one, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Director Zhang. There are no problems."

Xu Qingzhou was quite satisfied with the location of the research institute.

The institute is located on the west side of the Yuanmingyuan campus, close to the Zhongguancun National Laboratory and the Kyoto National Center for Condensed Matter Physics.

Xu Qingzhou was astonished. It almost occupied all the reserved land on the west side of the Yuanmingyuan campus and even expanded a lot outwards.

Although it is some distance away from the main campus, making academic exchanges inconvenient, there is about 500 acres of land, which can be used to build a large laboratory cluster with low density and low electromagnetic interference, suitable for clean rooms and low-temperature and high-magnetic field laboratories. For example, a 20T superconducting magnet requires independent power supply and liquid helium storage tank.

"As for the funds."

Xu Qingzhou continued: "I can buy the equipment I need with my own money without the company or the government having to bear the cost."

Zhang Xiaohui nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, no problem. In addition to returning 10% of the profits to Beijing University, all the results of the experiment will belong to you personally."

This has been discussed before. If circumstances permit, Xu Qingzhou will bear the cost of the equipment himself, and all patents will belong to him personally.

Of course, Xia State has the priority right to use useful patents.

Xu Qingzhou had no objection. The government had already helped to cover the construction costs, and he couldn't always get it for free.

Zhang Xiaohui told Xu Qingzhou in detail about the details of the Construction Materials Research Institute, such as policy preferences, talent introduction policies, etc. Imported scientific research equipment enjoys fast clearance on the customs "white list".
