To be honest, if the industry recognizes this technology, Lu Zhou will be happy to license it to reliable companies for generation in exchange for a certain return.
Lu Zhou stood up from the desk and was about to go to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee when he heard Xiaotong's surprised cry coming from the living room.
"At such a young age, what are you keeping in your head all day long?"
Here again to discuss cooperation...
His eyebrows were raised slightly, and a look of interest appeared on his face.
I chose Task 2, exited the system space, and my consciousness returned to reality.
It lasted for a full two minutes before moving to the next news item.
This is the 16th call he has received since Nature and Science highlighted his article.
Xiaotong rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "We were chatting on WeChat. Speaking of which, did you forget that I majored in finance? Sister Shanshan also gave me a lot of useful suggestions."
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xiaotong, wearing pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, yawning and asked.
Coincidentally, there was an unread email lying in the mailbox.
Lu Zhou: "..."
Can you still understand a rough idea
Guessing that it was probably from another laboratory, Lu Zhou was about to throw it into the trash can when the hand holding the mouse suddenly stopped.
"Want to know?"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou turned off the phone and threw it on the sofa. Then he got up and went to the kitchen, took out two eggs from the refrigerator, and started preparing breakfast.
Xiaotong, who was hit on the forehead, covered the top of his head and looked at Lu Zhou with an aggrieved look.
After saying these words, Lu Zhou laughed, and regardless of Xiaotong's protests behind him, he turned and walked towards the computer desk next to him.
This guy hasn't even woken up yet, but his ears are quite bright.
Seeing that her brother was silent, Xiaotong rolled her eyes and suggested: "If you can't make up your mind, why don't you ask Sister Shanshan? She is a top MBA student at the University of Pennsylvania. Such trivial matters are easy for her, right? .”
Oh, you are learning English well.
Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
For the public who don’t know the difference between lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries, the sensational effect it brings may not be as intuitive as Goldbach’s conjecture, but for the entire battery industry, this paper has produced an almost crazy feeling. The sensational effect…
But when the time comes, you can consider registering an offshore company in a place like Cayman and hiring a few experts to do patent management.
As for setting up a factory for production, forget it.
"… What's wrong?"
The interview continues.
Lu Zhou looked at Xiaotong in surprise: "Where did you hear about her expertise?"
If he had time to worry about these things, he might as well do something else.
No matter how pitifully those big eyes looked at him, Lu Zhou, after finishing the little guy's breakfast, turned and returned to the kitchen.
…
Sitting at the dining table in a daze, Xiaotong tilted her head: "But I heard about the patent."
When he proved Goldbach's conjecture and won the Crafford Prize, continuous media reports made his name widely known, but it did not have any impact on his life. At least there was no one when he walked on the street. Run over and shake his hand.
To be honest, he didn't know how much it would cost in exchange for money.
"Brother, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
But the problem is that Lu Zhou is not stupid, the initiative is already in his hands.
"... Maybe in half a year, maybe in a year, you will be able to use a smartphone that can last for a week. In a few years, you will be able to see Teslas with a range of thousands of kilometers in places other than PPT... Believe me, I The one you brag about is definitely more reliable than the one you brag about."
He remembered that he had never told this little guy what Senior Chen was studying.
Lu Zhou: "...I will ask if necessary."
"If you want to know, just study hard. When you have the skills and help me manage money in the future, you will know how much these patents are worth."
Although he was not holding hands and asking for autographs while walking on the street, it made his phone ring all day long.
Xiaotong looked curious and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
However, what troubled Lu Zhou was that most of these calls came from places such as "MIT XX Materials Laboratory" and "Silicon Valley XX Materials Technology R&D Company". Most of the issues discussed were patent cooperation.
Then the screen changed and we arrived at a laboratory of a certain university.
Licensing the patent to relevant companies and charging a certain patent fee is the best option.
After the call was connected, Lu Zhou looked like he had a headache, pinched his eyebrows and said.
What is being shown on the screen is the awarding scene of the Crafford Award. He received the medal from the hands of the King of Sweden, and the narration was a personal introduction to him.
The feeling of pretending to be cool and running away is really exciting.
After putting the prepared egg and bacon sandwich on the table, Lu Zhou poured Xiaotong a glass of milk and answered casually.
"Hello, dear Professor Lu Zhou, we are Silicon Valley Jermaine Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. We are very interested in the modified PDMS thin film technology you published in "Nature Chemistry". Are you interested in contacting our laboratory? Carry out technical cooperation?”
You know money all day long. Knowledge is the wealth of civilization. Can it be measured by money
Lu Zhou turned around and saw Xiaotong looking at him with shining eyes, and couldn't help being slightly stunned.
And this is why Lu Zhou did not refuse the interview.
MRS meeting invitation
Professor Krell, who was being interviewed by a Columbia TV reporter, said in an excited tone.
Hearing Lu Zhou's tone of voice, he was a little impatient and quickly spoke faster.
"Patent?" Xiaotong's eyes sparkled, "Is it valuable?"
Carrying his own sandwich, Lu Zhou walked to the computer desk and sat down. Lu Zhou routinely logged in to his email before starting work.
"Sorry, I'm very busy now. I have to assign tasks to my students in a while. If it's something important, you can make it more clear. If it's nothing, I'll fail."
But given the criticality of this technology, the money should be quite large.
Originally, Lu Zhou thought that it was just a paper and would not bring much change to his daily life.
This little money addict!
After taking a bite of the delicious sandwich, Xiaotong sighed, shook her little head in an arrogant manner, and said vaguely while chewing: "So man, you can't do it if you don't take the initiative. Don't wait until the time... Ouch! What are you doing? Ah, it hurts!"
After repeating it doubtfully, Lu Zhou walked to the TV and looked at the picture on the screen.
Although, I can only watch.
He is very clear about the value of his patent, and this value is irreplaceable. When the time comes, people from the enterprise will naturally come to discuss licensing matters with him, and there is no need for a certain research institute to make a profit.
"Nothing, he's an insurance salesman."
"That's right, we have a cooperative research and development agreement with Umicore on electrode materials. If you plan to sell the patent in your hand, through our research and development agreement, we can help you get a higher price—"
Lu Zhou glanced at his sister in surprise and replied casually: "Patents related to lithium batteries, materials science, even if I tell you the details, you won't understand."
But this paper published in Nature is completely different.
Xiaotong asked excitedly: "Brother! What is that patent?"
However, when asked about the content of the cooperation, they all wanted to be second-rate dealers.
He didn't use any force at all. Knowing that the expression was fake, Lu Zhou glared at the little guy.
interesting.
"Dude! You're on TV!"
"television?"
After all, it was impossible for him to produce it himself. Laboratory preparation and industrial production were two completely different concepts. Even if the patent fees can gain him a certain cost advantage, Lu Zhou clearly understands that this advantage will never make up for the disadvantages in a series of issues such as production experience, raw material channels, product research and development, etc.
