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

Chapter 550 This is indeed a good deal

Outside the window, dusk is deepening.

Xu Qingzhou hung up the phone, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. Song Yao finished the game and was typing away chatting with her sisters who were far away in Kyoto. The two of them planned that after they returned, Ding Jiahui and Guo Ziyang would take annual leave and the four of them would go traveling.

The superconducting film experiment is over, and Ross is organizing a team to contact European equipment manufacturers
Everything is on track.

As for patents, you don’t actually have to wait here and just hand them over to the firm. After all, the process of patent issuance is quite long.

In other words, the time of returning home is not much different from the previously estimated time.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Two years have passed just like that."

Er Miao was moving flexibly on the cat rack. During this time, he looked at the sofa and saw that the arms of the two-legged animals were empty. They came over here, wagging their tails, and asked for a hug.

Just as Xu Qingzhou was lamenting the passing of time, Song Yao put down her phone and Ding Jiahui went to the company to start a day of office life.

Seeing that Xu Qingzhou didn't know what he was thinking, she moved her butt a little closer to Xu Qingzhou, tilted her body, and fell on him. In comparison, it was more comfortable to lean on Xu Qingzhou, the human-shaped big pillow.

The second cat let out a low, resentful cry, licked its paws, and walked back.

Xu Qingzhou adjusted his position slightly so that the girl on him could lie more comfortably.

half an hour.

Xu Qingzhou opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Little girl, I have hugged you and touched you, it's enough."

I don't know when this girl developed this habit, but she likes to poke him all over when she lies on him.

"Tsk, as if no one is willing."

Song Yao snorted, pulled her hand out, paused, and continued, "Jiahui and the others said that we can take annual leave in July and August and go traveling together."

"Well, it's lively with four people, but does Guo Ziyang have time?"

Xu Qingzhou expressed his doubts, saying that Guo Ziyang was working overtime every day and was almost living in the company.

"Jiahui said it's okay."

Song Yao rubbed against Xu Qingzhou.

"It's time to go out and play. To be honest, the four of us have never gone out to play together. If we don't seize the time now, we will have no chance in a few years when we have families to support."

A creaking sound was heard in the living room.

Ermiao looked up and saw that the two-legged beasts seemed to have started fighting again.

sofa.

Song Yao supported Xu Qingzhou's chest with her hands. The two of them were so close that she could feel the hot breath from Xu Qingzhou.

School Beauty Song's heart was pounding, and she felt a little regretful for teasing this person.

"Xu Qingzhou~ I'm not feeling well today~"

"I know."

Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

Touching Xu Qingzhou's meaningful gaze, Song Yao remembered something bad and suddenly panicked. She stared and threatened: "If you dare, I will bite you~"

The field of superconducting thin films was bustling with activity, or to be more precise, it was a scene of wailing. However, everything was normal on Xu Qingzhou's side. He sent the patent application to Zhang Xiaohui, and he himself was carrying out the finishing work step by step.

At present, he only plans to write two papers for the entire project.

The first article is about theoretical methods, focusing on explaining the theoretical method logic of the experiment. The second article is the one I am currently working on, which is more inclined towards technical methods.

The paper is titled "Substrate-free NbSn thin film preparation technology based on ALD and graphene substrate."

In fact, there is so much that can be written. As long as he is willing, by splitting these two papers, he can at least produce four more first-tier SCI papers.

But it's a complete waste of time.

Carson wrote 2 articles, Sun Simin and Mars wrote 1 article each.

The project has published 5 SCI papers in total, and it is amazing to achieve such an achievement in just eight months.

Song Yao is also in the final stages of the project. If all goes well, the project will be completed by mid-June. On May 5, Xu Qingzhou completed the first round of responses to the patent review.

This means that the USPTO examiner has completed the search for global patents/non-patent literature and there will be no conflict with other patents. The next step is the evaluation stage to verify the feasibility of the patent content.

Xu Qingzhou is very confident about this.

After several days of preparation, the trend of superconducting thin films in academia seemed to have finally spread to the industry. Major listed companies could no longer hold their breath and immediately started meetings, preparing to contact Xu Qingzhou again to discuss the purchase of patents.

At this time, the cooperation between Xu Qingzhou and GE was not fully publicized, except for some companies that were keeping a close eye on GE's developments and vaguely received some news.

In the following days, perhaps because those companies had finally finished their meetings, Xu Qingzhou's peace was broken. His email and phone kept ringing, hoping to make an appointment to meet and they would definitely give him a satisfactory price.

Xu Qingzhou was just about to ask Ross to announce the cooperation agreement with GE, but GE was even more anxious than Xu Qingzhou and directly announced a $5 million patent acquisition case on its official website.

Announced that it will obtain a five-year exclusive right and secondary authorization for the substrate-free NbSn thin film preparation technology based on ALD and graphene substrate, excluding the Xiaguo market.

This also sends a message to other companies: If you want the patent for superconducting thin films, come and buy it quickly.

That day, after chatting with Carson and others about the arrangements for the thesis in the office, Xu Qingzhou also came to the research management office where Wilson was.

"Hi, good morning, Professor Xu."

Wilson poured water for Xu Qingzhou enthusiastically.

Looking at the young face in front of him, Wilson felt even more complicated. He dared to say that not investing in Xu Qingzhou was definitely the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life.

GE's announcement caused an uproar on MIT's board of directors.

Generally speaking, if no copyright transfer agreement is signed, MIT can obtain 30%-40% of the share, which is 1.5 million. This is also a huge sum of money for a top university like MIT.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu. You are now a hot figure in the field of condensed matter."

Wilson's tone was complicated, but also full of admiration.

The young man in front of me performed the final excellent experiment using the most backward laboratory.

Sometimes, he wasn't so depressed.

Because he was not the only one who made the mistake.

When Xu Qingzhou first set up the research team, there were a lot of people who mocked and ridiculed him, and the entire project was even rated as the "least reliable project". Who could have imagined that this day would come.

"Thank you, especially for your support to me in the beginning."

Xu Qingzhou thanked him sincerely.

If Wilson had not lent the laboratory for free and generously signed a patent transfer agreement, this experiment would not have been possible.

"You're welcome."

Xu Qingzhou didn't beat around the bush and said thoughtfully, "I am very grateful to MIT for its support for my experiment. To express my gratitude, in addition to the 1% advance payment, I am willing to donate another 1000 million as academic funds to the school."

If things go on for a long time, there may be other areas of cooperation in the future.

"Oh, Professor Xu, on behalf of all the teachers and students of MIT, thank you for your contribution to scientific research!" Wilson extended his hand and said solemnly.

Xu Qingzhou said sincerely: "I should thank MIT. I have learned a lot in this great school."

"Professor Xu, although I know the hope is slim, I still want to ask you, have you ever considered staying at MIT? If you nod, I promise that the school will build the most advanced laboratory in the world for you."

"Thank you for your invitation, but you know, I have no intention of staying abroad to develop."

Xu Qingzhou answered helplessly.

Wilson paused, and then continued, "Xiaguo's scientific research level has improved over the years, but you know what I mean. Academic atmosphere, talent, and other things cannot be made up in a short period of time. You need a better platform."

“But there’s always progress, isn’t there?”

"."

Wilson looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly thought of what Xu Qingzhou said when he left the office last time: "You will find that this will be a very cost-effective deal in the future."

Now, it has become a reality.
