Upon hearing Zhou Xing's request for help, Zhou Wenhai and his wife immediately set off the next day, hurried to the capital with a confused Zhou Wenhua flying away.
In the past, I was used to cleaning up Zhou Xing's messes. After not receiving this kind of work for several months, Zhou Wenhai and his wife even missed it.
"Xiaoxing never makes people worry." Ye Huilan said with emotion after coming out of the Capital Airport.
"Xiaolan, we've stopped a car, let's go!" Zhou Wenhai stopped a taxi and called to Ye Huilan.
"I said, brother, just come here! Why are you dragging me with you? There are still two big projects waiting for me to discuss!" Looking at the taxi, Zhou Wenhua frowned, his face full of pain. If the two projects are negotiated, they will have an income of nearly 10 million yuan.
"Stop blabbering. We've already gotten off the plane. There's still so much bullshit. Hurry up and get in the car." Zhou Wenhai helped Ye Huilan get into the car, glared at Zhou Wenhua with a dark face, and got into the car himself.
Zhou Wenhua's face froze slightly, he lowered his head helplessly and sat in the passenger seat.
Soon, the taxi turned around, merged into the traffic, and drove Zhou Wenhai, his wife, and Zhou Wenhua quickly toward the north.
Peking University, a solemn meeting was being held in the conference room, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Director Zheng was sitting in the chairperson's seat at the meeting, with a stern look on his face, not angry or intimidating. Each of the twenty-odd participants looked down at their diaries, or stared blankly in a daze, or made eye contact with the opposite person. No one was there. After making a sound, the whole venue fell into silence.
"If you have any opinions, please feel free to say them! If not, let's start voting with a show of hands now. Those who agree will raise their hands." Director Zheng put the water glass on the table and looked around at everyone.
"Wait a minute, director, this kind of precedent has never been set here in the laboratory. We also have a bottom line and cannot retreat again and again." Lin Jieming suddenly interrupted Director Zheng.
"Yes! Only 10% of the patents are patented. How can the laboratory agree to such conditions?"
"Director Lin is right, such a precedent cannot be set!"
"Yes, yes! We can't let him take advantage of us. We also have a bottom line!"
“…”
As soon as Lin Jieming said this, he immediately won the approval of most people, and everyone expressed their stance one after another.
Hearing this, Director Zheng smiled coldly, looked at them and asked: "If you don't want 10%, does that mean you don't want the patent for the entire lithography machine project?"
"Director, you don't really believe what he says, do you? It's impossible for Zhou Xing to break through the lithography machine project. As far as I know, he has gone to the laboratory less than twenty times in the past few months. The lithography machine is such a high-end equipment. Instruments, no experiments, no inspections and tests, how can he rely on research? Is it just relying on thinking? What's more, the research and development is still a 5-nanometer lithography machine." Lin Jieming said confidently:
The lithography machine is the core equipment with the highest technical content in integrated circuit equipment. It is known as the "mother machine" of the information industry and is known as the commanding heights of human technological development and the "crown pearl" of the manufacturing industry.
The lithography machine uses light as a blade to engrave dense and complex integrated circuit design patterns on small silicon wafers. It is widely used in semiconductor integrated circuits, chip packaging, LED chips and other fields. It belongs to the most advanced electronic field in the world. The only countries that can manufacture lithography machines are the Netherlands, the United States, and Japan, plus China, which is desperately trying to catch up, etc., there are only a few "players".
Lithography machines below 10 nanometer level are "hell level" difficulty. Three high-end "players" in the world are being tortured to death. How can the Chinese "players" who have just broken through the difficulty level skip the "expert level" directly? "Nightmare level", a 5nm lithography machine that directly breaks through the "hell level"
Director Zheng believed Zhou Xing's claim of a breakthrough in lithography machines, and accepted his threat to hold a meeting, eager to reach a relevant patent sharing agreement. In Lin Jieming's view, it was childish and unreasonable.
Hearing what Lin Jieming said, Director Zheng immediately grimaced.
Is he a fool? Do you need him to teach you
This bastard who is a vegetarian, stares at his one-third of an acre all day long, has no ambition to make progress, and dare not try even if there is any risk. No wonder the laboratory has never made any major achievements under his management.
"Since Director Lin feels that Zhou Xing cannot break through the lithography machine, it doesn't matter whether the lithography machine patent sharing agreement is signed or not. However, given that Zhou Xing has published the 'Two Criteria and Variables', it is necessary to break through the 5-nanometer etching machine mass production process. , I think this agreement still needs to be signed." Director Zheng reminded emphatically.
"We're not afraid of 10,000, we're just afraid of what might happen. What if Zhou Xing really makes a breakthrough! If the patent sharing agreement is not passed, the lithography machine project he is researching will not be submitted. Are we going to keep wasting it like this?" Director Zheng paused, looked at everyone and asked.
Yes, when Director Zheng explained this, the topic returned to the starting point. Everyone frowned and felt a headache.
"But the school laboratory can only get 10% of the patent. This is against the rules!" Lin Jieming frowned, wondering why Director Zheng trusted Zhou Xing so much.
"Since Zhou Xing does not go to the laboratory frequently, and does not use a large amount of laboratory consumables, equipment, and materials... more work, more gain, less work, less gain, I think this distribution is very appropriate. Special issues should be dealt with specially, and scientific research should not Everything is done according to the rules." Director Zheng gave Lin Jieming a meaningful look.
"This... this..." Lin Jieming opened his mouth, unable to say anything to refute.
What Director Zheng said is reasonable, but why are you so unwilling! If Zhou Xing really develops a lithography machine, the laboratory will only enjoy 10%, which is too little.
"Since the laboratory cannot break through the lithography machine project in a short time, let's give Zhou Xing a little sweetener and let him try it out. Let's vote by a show of hands! Those who agree raise their hands." Director Zheng ignored Lin Jieming and announced directly in front of everyone. .
After speaking, Director Zheng raised his hand forcefully and glanced at everyone.
Facing Director Zheng's compelling gaze, everyone hesitated for a moment, then raised their hands one by one.
Director Zheng is right! It was also determined that Zhou Xing could not conquer the lithography machine project, and he did not use the resources of the laboratory to conduct large-scale research experiments. So the school laboratory should really give up some patent rights. If Zhou Xing really made a breakthrough, he would just sit back and enjoy the results. 10% of patents are also very valuable.
The result of the show of hands vote was clear at a glance, with 90% of the people choosing to agree to Zhou Xing’s patent sharing agreement.
Seeing this, Director Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally being able to give Zhou Xing an explanation.
