So, with the idea of giving it a try, Lu Zhou asked: "Are any of your customers any materials research institutes that are on the verge of bankruptcy or short of funds? Or technology companies with carbon material research and development capabilities. "
Lu Zhou spent almost all his time in the day, except eating and sleeping, on building this mathematical model.
"Nice to meet again, Professor Lu. How was your Christmas?"
I believe that based on his achievements in computational materials science, many research teams should be interested in his new paper and spend their own money to test these results for him.
Putting the plan aside, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, so he continued to speak.
Originally, he didn't plan to discuss this matter with this guy, but then he thought about it, AM Firm's clients seemed to be concentrated in the material science community, and it seemed that there was really no one more suitable to discuss this issue than this guy.
Lu Zhou keenly smelled Franklin's flavor in a few words, and he continued with eager eyes.
The two sat down in the living room. Woolf opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents and handed it into Lu Zhou's hands.
Stretching out and leaning on the chair, Lu Zhou looked at the research results of the past week and couldn't help but smile.
Not believing his bragging, Lu Zhou smiled.
However, at this moment, the sound of the doorbell came from downstairs.
What if it is used one day
Lu Zhou didn't want to waste precious time on analyzing the market size, reasonably pricing patent fees, and negotiating patent fees with chemical companies. It was naturally the best choice to hire someone to do it for him.
In the past, you had to use other people's equipment to do experiments. Now, if you want to do any experiment, you don't even need to do it yourself. You can just buy some equipment and ask a few PHDs to do it for him.
Twenty years is such a long time, and it’s hard to say what happened during this period.
Damn it, are you so brave
Along the way, Lu Zhou was mumbling something, his eyes shining with excitement.
"According to your request, we have helped you plan the organizational structure of the business, and here is a list of budget expenses. If you think it is okay, we will rent an office in Philadelphia for you and follow the instructions in this document. Standard employment staff…”
Upon hearing this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Woolf's face: "It's easy! Just wrap it up on me."
But in this case, the patent rights may be in the hands of the research team that completed the work.
As expected, Mr. Woolf stood at the door holding a briefcase with a bright smile on his face.
Really? !
"By the way, if a research institution in the United States is acquired through a parent company registered in the Cayman Islands, will the intellectual property income generated by the research institution be included in the taxation scope of the U.S. Revenue Department?"
…
Woolf said with a smile: "Of course not. Do you think Microsoft and Google have ever paid taxes on their intellectual property income? They can even enjoy tax refund policies in the United States through overseas intellectual property income."
"The overlap of π and π* energy levels is due to the introduction of a Stone-wales topological defect, which results in the opening of 0.06eV and 0.04eV band gaps respectively on the surface. This makes sense... "
Woolf smiled confidently: "Of course. Although patent services are the main business of our AM firm, the law firms under our firm do not only provide patent services. If you need to litigate in the future, you can also contact me , we have the best team of lawyers in the United States... "
"In other words, the introduction of carbon nanotubes enhances the handling performance of carbon nanospheres."
Lu Zhou was immediately shocked.
"I'm very satisfied with your plan. Let's follow this plan. In addition, arrange a time for business executives to come to Princeton to meet with me."
Holding his extended right hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Not bad, come in and talk... Do you want something to drink?"
Of course, if you want to save money, Lu Zhou also has other options. For example, write these mathematical models in papers and publish them in advance, and let other research teams complete the work for them.
If this idea is feasible, the problem of preparing such carbon nanospheres in the laboratory can also be easily solved.
According to his request, AM Firm registered his parent company in the Cayman Islands and also helped him register a branch in the United States, whose main business is intellectual property rights.
"I'm a genius!"
"What's left is to improve the mathematical model, and then hire a research team to verify these possibilities through repeated experiments."
Students and even professors who met him in the corridors or stairs subconsciously stepped aside.
Lu Zhou: "..."
For the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, this is something that happens from time to time. Who hasn’t been so excited and carried away by the sudden inspiration
Taking the stack of documents from Mr. Woolf's hand, Lu Zhou took it in his hand and looked through it roughly.
After returning home, Lu Zhou locked himself in the hut and began a new round of retreat.
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Does your firm also provide services in corporate mergers and acquisitions?"
Finally, on the second Monday after New Year's Day, he completed the preliminary establishment of this mathematical model.
However, Woolf, who was sitting opposite him, had a different focus.
Lu Zhou stood up from the chair, moved his limbs, and was about to go to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.
"Thank you, a glass of water will do."
Even though he was not sure whether this patent would have as huge commercial value as the modified PDMS film, it was a black technology of the system, so Lu Zhou still wanted to hold it in his hands.
Although Xingkong Technology's current customer is only one company, the Belgian Umicore Group, there is still a market in China waiting for Xingkong Technology to develop.
"If you still need legal help in intellectual property cooperation, please be sure to contact me. Our intellectual property services are absolutely world-class!"
The feeling of having money is just different.
It's not that I hit him head-on, but that I was worried about interrupting the boss's train of thought.
Although Vera did not solve this problem by splitting the asymmetric spherical structure into a cylinder and a symmetrical spherical structure, her idea brought considerable inspiration to Lu Zhou.
Probably guessing who was coming to see him, he followed the stairs to the living room, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
A week passed like this.
Although he was not sure whether AM Firm was engaged in business related to corporate mergers and acquisitions, Lu Zhou thought about it and said, "In fact, I plan to acquire a research team with the ability to develop carbon nanomaterials."
"A cage-like structure without translational symmetry can be disassembled into a tubular structure and a translationally symmetric cage-like structure. The cage structure has lh point group symmetry, and the surface of the tubular structure contains two Stone-wales topologies. defect."
Because both carbon nanotubes and fullerene materials can be prepared by existing technical means, the difficulty is at best how to reconstruct chemical bonds and synthesize two structurally different macromolecules into a larger space. , molecules with more complex structures.
Woolf was stunned for a moment: "On the verge of bankruptcy? To be honest, I don't know much about the customer's business conditions, but there should be many research teams like the one you mentioned... Is there anything I can help you with?"
And the cost he needs to pay for this is just a little interest on his bank account.
Because they are the same kind of people, they understand this feeling better than anyone else...
