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

Chapter 544 Is this a little progress?

In a hotel in Cambridge, England.

Bell Zakaria, one of the senior vice presidents, was looking at two projects that he had recently been approached for. His secretary knocked on the door and came in, bringing him a glass of iced American coffee. He reported in a low voice, "Mr. Zakaria, Mr. Isaac and his team are active in private, and there will be some action in the near future."

Zakaria was not surprised. He looked through the documents in his hand and said, "Are they still the same old friends?"

"Hus Campbell has joined us this time. He has always been opposed to your spending 5 million to purchase patents."

"It seems we can look forward to their wonderful performance at the next board meeting." Zakaria smiled faintly, signed the document in his hand and handed it to the secretary.

The secretary couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zakaria, is there any good news from Professor Xu?"

Zakaria shrugged, took a sip of coffee, and said, "It's only been a month since we signed the letter of intent."

The secretary also sighed, thinking that he was indeed a little anxious. For large-scale experiments like superconducting films, a breakthrough every half a year was already considered fast, let alone a month.

"Keep calm. I have a feeling that this time, God will be on our side."

Zakaria was not at all flustered and took a sip of coffee comfortably.

Hey~
At this time, the phone on the desk rang.

Zakaria answered the call and said with a smile, "Good morning, Professor Xu. I'm glad to hear your voice. Have you made any new progress in your experiment?"

"We have lived up to expectations and made new breakthroughs."

Zakaria was a little surprised. "Oh, the Jc performance has reached 2.5×10 A/cm so quickly?"

"Unfortunately, there is a big discrepancy between this number and the actual number."

Xu Qingzhou's helpless voice came from the receiver.

"It's okay. I look forward to new breakthroughs from you."

Although Zakaria was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mindset. He was mentally prepared for this matter. Superconducting film is not something that can be completed overnight.

He was willing to spend a huge amount of money to purchase the patent from Xu Qingzhou, not only because of its current good performance, but also because he was optimistic about the potential of this product.

"Our Jc performance can reach 3.5×10 A/cm."

"what?"

Zakaria paused while drinking his coffee, his expression frozen.

Fortunately, he was sure that if he had drunk the coffee, he would have sprayed it out out of surprise.

Xu Qingzhou's voice continued on the phone: "Yes, you heard it right. The performance in all aspects is relatively stable, and the yield rate is 86%. Of course, it is undeniable that this needs to be improved."

"."

The office fell silent.

"Professor Xu, I think we need to meet!"

Zakaria turned to the secretary waiting nearby and said, "Hi, Costa, book a flight back to Boston tomorrow morning. Sorry, I'm too excited. Professor Xu, are you available tomorrow at 6pm? I'll bring the official contract with me then."

"No problem at all."

Zakaria put down his phone, his expression still a little strange, immersed in the message just now.

On one side, the assistant had already booked a flight back to the city and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Zakaria, are you okay?”

He had been with Zakaria for five years, but this was the first time he saw this usually calm boss showing such a complex expression: dazed, shocked, and unbelievable.
So, what kind of terrible news did Professor Xu bring?

Zakaria came back to his senses and swallowed, only to find that his saliva was a little dry. After drinking a sip of coffee, he said, "Professor Xu has made a new breakthrough in the Jc performance of the superconducting film."

"This is a good thing."

The secretary heaved a sigh of relief, as this just proved that Professor Xu's project had a bright future and the boss's situation would not be so difficult.

But this is not a surprise, why is he so surprised? Zakaria said in a numb tone: "He said that Jc reached 3.5×10 A/cm, and the performance is stable."

"."

The office fell into silence, and the secretary had the same expression as Zakaria.

the next day,
In a hotel room.

Xu Qingzhou calmly ate the steak in front of him.

On the opposite side, Zakaria had a solemn expression as he flipped through the report sent by Xu Qingzhou. Of course, this was only part of the data and did not involve too many core experiments.

"Oh! This is incredible!"

His eyes were fixed on the data in the report, Zakaria's tone was full of excitement, and he exclaimed from time to time.

Spending 5 million yuan to purchase a superconducting film with a Jc performance of 2.2×10 A/cm is definitely a huge loss-making deal, yes, based on previous performance in all aspects.

This superconducting film is really amazing.

It has high adaptability and can be used in everything from nuclear fusion magnets to quantum computing and medical imaging equipment.

Even if there is a premium, it would be between 3 million and 4 million at most.

But now, there is only one word: value!
(J_c) 3.5×10 A/cm
(T_c) is stable at 18.3 K ± 0.1 K
What a perfect structural diagram!

Not to mention 5 million, even another 1 million is worth it. This is not a matter of money. As Xu Qingzhou said before, this patent can be used to occupy the market for superconducting thin films to a certain extent.

Even if they cannot have exclusive rights, don't forget that they have the right to re-license.

If other companies want to use it, they can, they just have to pay for it.

This is considered the strongest product on the market. Other companies can either pay the money or watch them monopolize the market. Either way, there is no doubt that they will make a lot of money.

Zakaria closed the information, suppressed his excitement, raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Qingzhou, still in great amazement: "Professor Xu, it's only been a month, how did you do it?"

This is almost like a miracle.

"Maybe, I'm just luckier." Xu Qingzhou raised his glass.

"luck?"

Zakaria's mouth twitched.

You can't rely on luck when doing experiments, and genius can't be viewed with ordinary eyes.

But he made the right bet!
"Professor Xu, this is the formal contract we have prepared. It is the same as the letter of intent for cooperation. You can confirm it again."

Now Zakaria is more anxious than Xu Qingzhou and is eager to finalize the contract.

"no problem."

Of course Xu Qingzhou had no objection. It was now late April and it was time to prepare to return home.

The meal was quite good.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingzhou took the contract home and handed it to Song Yao, the royal contract prosecutor.

After handing the document to Song Yao, he leaned over and wanted to slap the girl on the face, but was scared back by the girl's glare.

If you don’t want a kiss, then don’t kiss me.

Xu Qingzhou sighed, turned around to change his clothes, and went into the bathroom in his shorts.

Song Yao curled her lips. She drank the wine and her body stank. As for the wine, she thought it was okay because she drank with others. After all, drinking a little wine would make the atmosphere more lively and even crazy.

Waving her hand to dispel the smell of alcohol in the air, she turned her attention to the current contract, checking the discrepancies with the intended cooperation agreement line by line.
