"Let go."
If we have to use the standards of a saint to demand him, it seems to be too much.
…
"For five million dollars, I will sell you my Salote Research Institute. I believe it is impossible to find an institute in the entire Silicon Valley that offers a cheaper price than mine. I don't want anything else. Any patents or research results are yours." Yes, as long as you let me stay in the research team."
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
Although this meant that he would have nothing and have to start all over again, he believed that he made the right choice.
After a pause, Lu Zhou slowly said, "I can give you a chance."
"I won't let you go unless you promise not to leave!"
Woolf, on the other hand, froze there with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and hurried up to help his employer.
Lu Zhou: "You don't need to know what this is. In fact, apart from using mathematical methods to calculate some interesting things, I'm not sure of its value. I need you to help me complete some experiments according to my requirements. , to verify some of my guesses about computational materials. If you do what I ask, I will let your name appear in the paper."
“…”
Woolf glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly, as if asking with his eyes, "Is this appropriate?"
After all, these people often have their own projects, and would not be happy to work for others unless it is an offer they cannot refuse.
After talking about the contract, the next step is the research.
Sarote made a helpless expression and shrugged to show that he didn't care.
Lu Zhou didn't take Sarote's quibbles to heart, but the offer of five million US dollars was indeed far below his psychological price, making it difficult for him to refuse.
The graphics on the screen began to change, and at the same time, he continued to explain.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Sarote who was hugging his thigh with black lines on his head and wondered, is this guy really a professor from Cornell University
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
Lu Zhou said indifferently: "Unfortunately, I am an atheist. I will use a contract to bind you."
Sarote did not hesitate, patted his chest and assured Lu Zhou: "In the name of God, I swear to you."
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to pull off this face...
Lu Zhou didn't take Sarote's quibbles to heart, but the offer of five million US dollars was indeed far below his psychological price, making it difficult for him to refuse.
It is for this reason that when the last investor withdrew his capital, he gritted his teeth and borrowed a loan from the bank, using his own money to give the institute the instruments that were almost sold as junk due to the withdrawal of capital. Bought it.
After weighing it in his mind, Lu Zhou decided to give him a chance.
Woolf, on the other hand, froze there with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and hurried up to help his employer.
If you follow this big boss to do the project, you don’t have to worry about funding first. Even if Lu Zhou's own money is not enough, there will be a lot of companies willing to pay for him to continue his research.
"And watch you use my name to lie?"
His instinct told him that this day would not take long, and the investment was definitely worth it!
He knew exactly what he wanted and what was truly important to a scholar.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
Sarote smiled and realized that he had asked nonsense.
In a place like Silicon Valley, a PhD student who can operate an SEM electron microscope to collect images can be hired with an annual salary of RMB 100,000. However, it still takes some effort to find a Maverick who can direct a group of PhD students to conduct experiments and successfully complete the project.
As for whether he can grasp it, it depends on him.
Lu Zhou: "You don't need to know what this is. In fact, apart from using mathematical methods to calculate some interesting things, I'm not sure of its value. I need you to help me complete some experiments according to my requirements. , to verify some of my guesses about computational materials.

Because Lu Zhou agreed to give him five minutes to give himself a reason to choose him.

However, it's not about money.
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
After a pause, Lu Zhou slowly said, "I can give you a chance."
The reason why big cows are big cows is not because of how talented their brains are, but because they can always get research funds and someone will always pay for their research.
Without the support of research funds, no article in "Science" could be published. And not being able to publish "science" means there is no result. Without results, no one will invest in him.
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
Sarote is shrewd.
Sarote did not hesitate, patted his chest and assured Lu Zhou: "In the name of God, I swear to you."
However, Lu Zhou obviously would not be so easily convinced by him. After all, the scene when the two met for the first time was so shocking that he was still deeply impressed by the leather shoe that flew up to the podium.
It doesn't matter if the research team is gone. Anyway, if you keep it on your hands, you can only watch it grow moldy.
"For five million dollars, I will sell you my Salote Research Institute. I believe it is impossible to find an institute in the entire Silicon Valley that offers a cheaper price than mine. I don't want anything else. Any patents or research results are yours." Yes, as long as you let me stay in the research team."
Lu Zhou looked at Wolf next to him and motioned for him to take out the contract.
Lu Zhou nodded.
"In addition, I will be at the University of California, Berkeley these days. If you have any questions, you can call or come see me. Do you have any questions?"
This is true. Selling the entire institute for five million dollars is almost equivalent to selling the equipment in the institute as scrap metal.
Even if you search the second-hand instrument market for the same equipment, you won't be able to find it cheaper than this price. Moreover, the performance of instruments purchased on the second-hand market is quite unreliable in all aspects, especially on cutting-edge equipment. A slight error may prevent others from replicating your results.
"I won't let you go unless you promise not to leave!"
Lu Zhou nodded.
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
However, at this moment, Sarote suddenly thought of something and spoke.
However, Lu Zhou obviously would not be so easily convinced by him. After all, the scene when the two met for the first time was so shocking that he was still deeply impressed by the leather shoe that flew up to the podium.
Lu Zhou hired him as the head of the research institute with an annual salary of US$100,000. As for salary increases or other benefits, it would all depend on his subsequent performance.

As long as he has the former, the latter is nothing to him.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
"By the way, this research institute is yours now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to continue using my name? I mean, how about changing the name to Lu Zhou Research Institute?"
When the price was quoted, Sarote's heart was bleeding.
As for whether he can grasp it, it depends on him.

And when the results come out, no one will care about his past or how unsuccessful he was. He will become an authority in the field of battery materials at Cornell University, and his alma mater will be proud of his name...
"Let go."
Even when the second-hand equipment is sold, as long as the right buyer is found, these instruments can be sold for seven to eight million US dollars.
Lu Zhou nodded.

However, it's not about money.
Sarote had an expression of joy on his face and was about to speak, but Lu Zhou got ahead of him and continued: "But I must tell you, you only have one chance. If you want to stay in my research team, I want you to be honest, especially if you don't try to fool me with 'honest mistakes'."
In a sense, the relationship between academic status and research funding is like a hen and eggs.
Woolf, on the other hand, froze there with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and hurried up to help his employer.

After talking about the contract, the next step is the research.
"I can't provide you with more information. I can only tell you that this is a pattern obtained by topological transformation of fullerene materials and carbon nanotube materials. To describe it in chemical language, the two Carbon nanospheres obtained by π bond recombination of various materials."
“…”
In addition to a transfer contract for the institute, there is an employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement.
Regarding the issue of research funding, Star Technology will contact Professor Sarote, and the experimental project will be launched next month at the latest.
"And watch you use my name to lie?"
It was for the same reason that he was willing to sell the research institute and himself to Lu Zhou at a loss of US$5 million.
"This is?"
Sarote is shrewd.
If you follow this big boss to do the project, you don’t have to worry about funding first. Even if Lu Zhou's own money is not enough, there will be a lot of companies willing to pay for him to continue his research.

Woolf, on the other hand, froze there with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and hurried up to help his employer.
"And watch you use my name to lie?"
Professor Sarote argued dissatisfied: "What is cheating? Did I embezzle scientific research funds to buy myself a car or pick up girls? No! I spent all the money on experiments! Everything I did was for science. ! If I don’t use exaggeration to paint wonderful prospects for laymen, no one will pay for my research... "
"And watch you use my name to lie?"
Lu Zhou hired him as the head of the research institute with an annual salary of US$100,000. As for salary increases or other benefits, it would all depend on his subsequent performance.
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
In the field of materials science, almost all results are achieved through money.
When the price was quoted, Sarote's heart was bleeding.
Lu Zhou didn't take Sarote's quibbles to heart, but the offer of five million US dollars was indeed far below his psychological price, making it difficult for him to refuse.
Woolf glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly, as if asking with his eyes, "Is this appropriate?"
After weighing it in his mind, Lu Zhou decided to give him a chance.
In fact, to be honest, if you can be a professor at Cornell University, Sarote must be of good quality.
The reason why big cows are big cows is not because of how talented their brains are, but because they can always get research funds and someone will always pay for their research.
Because Lu Zhou agreed to give him five minutes to give himself a reason to choose him.

However, it still takes some effort to find a Maverick who can direct a group of PhD students to conduct experiments and successfully complete the project.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
Sarote frowned slightly, stared at the model and thought for a moment, then asked: "It sounds like a good topic, but how do we fuse the fullerene material with a carbon nanotube?"
…
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
It doesn't matter if the research team is gone. Anyway, if you keep it on your hands, you can only watch it grow moldy.
Professor Sarote argued dissatisfied: "What is cheating? Did I embezzle scientific research funds to buy myself a car or pick up girls? No! I spent all the money on experiments!

After all, these people often have their own projects, and would not be happy to work for others unless it is an offer they cannot refuse.
It doesn't matter to him if the money is less. Five million US dollars is enough to repay the loan he owes the bank.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
And when the results come out, no one will care about his past or how unsuccessful he was. He will become an authority in the field of battery materials at Cornell University, and his alma mater will be proud of his name...
Regarding the issue of research funding, Star Technology will contact Professor Sarote, and the experimental project will be launched next month at the latest.
As long as he can produce results, as long as he has a place in the paper, he will be willing to continue working even if it means that he has to work for nothing.
Ignoring him, Lu Zhou continued: "In a few days, someone from Starry Sky Technology will come to contact you. As for research matters, I will contact you via email. In addition, I will regularly check your research here every month. schedule."
In fact, what he wanted to ask most was what would be the use of this thing once it was made, but the expression on Lu Zhou's face clearly did not intend to explain it to him, so he kept this sentence in his heart.
In the field of materials science, even if Sarote is not considered a master, he can still be called a calf. Although he likes to talk nonsense, at least there is no obvious academic stain.
"I won't let you go unless you promise not to leave!"
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
Now that the contract has been signed and everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained, there is no need to continue to stay here.
Lu Zhou said indifferently: "Unfortunately, I am an atheist. I will use a contract to bind you."
However, at this moment, Sarote suddenly thought of something and spoke.

After letting Woolf go back first, Lu Zhou inserted the USB flash drive into his laptop and called up the molecular model he had redrawn using Hyperchem software.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Sarote who was hugging his thigh with black lines on his head and wondered, is this guy really a professor from Cornell University
After weighing it in his mind, Lu Zhou decided to give him a chance.

But when his employer nodded, he said nothing, took out the contract from his briefcase, and quickly wrote the amount and other information in the blank space with a ballpoint pen.

Sarote did not hesitate, patted his chest and assured Lu Zhou: "In the name of God, I swear to you."
In the field of materials science, almost all results are achieved through money.
After weighing it in his mind, Lu Zhou decided to give him a chance.
Lu Zhou hired him as the head of the research institute with an annual salary of US$100,000. As for salary increases or other benefits, it would all depend on his subsequent performance.
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
Although this meant that he would have nothing and have to start all over again, he believed that he made the right choice.
Even when the second-hand equipment is sold, as long as the right buyer is found, these instruments can be sold for seven to eight million US dollars.
Regarding the issue of research funding, Star Technology will contact Professor Sarote, and the experimental project will be launched next month at the latest.
Woolf, on the other hand, froze there with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and hurried up to help his employer.
In addition to a transfer contract for the institute, there is an employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement.
Ignoring him, Lu Zhou continued: "In a few days, someone from Starry Sky Technology will come to contact you. As for research matters, I will contact you via email. In addition, I will regularly check your research here every month. schedule."
In the field of materials science, even if Sarote is not considered a master, he can still be called a calf. Although he likes to talk nonsense, at least there is no obvious academic stain.
After talking about the contract, the next step is the research.
If you follow this big boss to do the project, you don’t have to worry about funding first. Even if Lu Zhou's own money is not enough, there will be a lot of companies willing to pay for him to continue his research.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
But when his employer nodded, he said nothing, took out the contract from his briefcase, and quickly wrote the amount and other information in the blank space with a ballpoint pen.
He knew exactly what he wanted and what was truly important to a scholar.
As long as he can produce results, as long as he has a place in the paper, he will be willing to continue working even if it means that he has to work for nothing.
"Let go."
Looking at the spherical structure appearing on the screen, a look of interest appeared in Sarote's eyes.
Sarote did not hesitate, patted his chest and assured Lu Zhou: "In the name of God, I swear to you."
Woolf glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly, as if asking with his eyes, "Is this appropriate?"
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Sarote who was hugging his thigh with black lines on his head and wondered, is this guy really a professor from Cornell University
Woolf glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly, as if asking with his eyes, "Is this appropriate?"
And when the results come out, no one will care about his past or how unsuccessful he was. He will become an authority in the field of battery materials at Cornell University, and his alma mater will be proud of his name...
After copying the data to the computer, Lu Zhou put away the USB flash drive and prepared to leave.
"For five million dollars, I will sell you my Salote Research Institute. I believe it is impossible to find an institute in the entire Silicon Valley that offers a cheaper price than mine. I don't want anything else. Any patents or research results are yours." Yes, as long as you let me stay in the research team."
He knew exactly what he wanted and what was truly important to a scholar.
In fact, to be honest, if you can be a professor at Cornell University, Sarote must be of good quality.
Woolf glanced at Lu Zhou hesitantly, as if asking with his eyes, "Is this appropriate?"
"Let go."
Sarote made a helpless expression and shrugged to show that he didn't care.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Sarote who was hugging his thigh with black lines on his head and wondered, is this guy really a professor from Cornell University
His instinct told him that this day would not take long, and the investment was definitely worth it!
"By the way, this research institute is yours now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to continue using my name? I mean, how about changing the name to Lu Zhou Research Institute?"
In addition to a transfer contract for the institute, there is an employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement.
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
Ignoring him, Lu Zhou continued: "In a few days, someone from Starry Sky Technology will come to contact you. As for research matters, I will contact you via email. In addition, I will regularly check your research here every month. schedule."
And when the results come out, no one will care about his past or how unsuccessful he was. He will become an authority in the field of battery materials at Cornell University, and his alma mater will be proud of his name...
Sarote immediately shook his head: "No more."
In addition to a transfer contract for the institute, there is an employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement.
Sarote immediately shook his head: "No more."
It was for the same reason that he was willing to sell the research institute and himself to Lu Zhou at a loss of US$5 million.
"For five million dollars, I will sell you my Salote Research Institute. I believe it is impossible to find an institute in the entire Silicon Valley that offers a cheaper price than mine. I don't want anything else. Any patents or research results are yours." Yes, as long as you let me stay in the research team."
Sarote is shrewd.
However, it's not about money.
Sarote did not hesitate, patted his chest and assured Lu Zhou: "In the name of God, I swear to you."
If you follow this big boss to do the project, you don’t have to worry about funding first. Even if Lu Zhou's own money is not enough, there will be a lot of companies willing to pay for him to continue his research.
Lu Zhou looked at Wolf next to him and motioned for him to take out the contract.
Lu Zhou hired him as the head of the research institute with an annual salary of US$100,000. As for salary increases or other benefits, it would all depend on his subsequent performance.
Lu Zhou didn't take Sarote's quibbles to heart, but the offer of five million US dollars was indeed far below his psychological price, making it difficult for him to refuse.
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to pull off this face...
It was for the same reason that he was willing to sell the research institute and himself to Lu Zhou at a loss of US$5 million.
“…”
Lu Zhou didn't take Sarote's quibbles to heart, but the offer of five million US dollars was indeed far below his psychological price, making it difficult for him to refuse.
Professor Sarote argued dissatisfied: "What is cheating? Did I embezzle scientific research funds to buy myself a car or pick up girls? No! I spent all the money on experiments! Everything I did was for science. ! If I don’t use exaggeration to paint wonderful prospects for laymen, no one will pay for my research... "
After a pause, Lu Zhou slowly said, "I can give you a chance."
After talking about the contract, the next step is the research.

If we have to use the standards of a saint to demand him, it seems to be too much.
After letting Woolf go back first, Lu Zhou inserted the USB flash drive into his laptop and called up the molecular model he had redrawn using Hyperchem software.
Sarote frowned slightly, stared at the model and thought for a moment, then asked: "It sounds like a good topic, but how do we fuse the fullerene material with a carbon nanotube?"
However, it's not about money.
Lu Zhou: "You don't need to know what this is. In fact, apart from using mathematical methods to calculate some interesting things, I'm not sure of its value. I need you to help me complete some experiments according to my requirements. , to verify some of my guesses about computational materials. If you do what I ask, I will let your name appear in the paper."
After all, these people often have their own projects, and would not be happy to work for others unless it is an offer they cannot refuse.
His instinct told him that this day would not take long, and the investment was definitely worth it!
Lu Zhou nodded.
This is true. Selling the entire institute for five million dollars is almost equivalent to selling the equipment in the institute as scrap metal.
After a pause, Lu Zhou slowly said, "I can give you a chance."
Looking at the spherical structure appearing on the screen, a look of interest appeared in Sarote's eyes.
Regarding the issue of research funding, Star Technology will contact Professor Sarote, and the experimental project will be launched next month at the latest.
The graphics on the screen began to change, and at the same time, he continued to explain.
However, he still took a step slower, and Sarote let go.
Now that the contract has been signed and everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained, there is no need to continue to stay here.
However, Lu Zhou obviously would not be so easily convinced by him. After all, the scene when the two met for the first time was so shocking that he was still deeply impressed by the leather shoe that flew up to the podium.
If you follow this big boss to do the project, you don’t have to worry about funding first. Even if Lu Zhou's own money is not enough, there will be a lot of companies willing to pay for him to continue his research.
"This is?"
"This is?"
Now that the contract has been signed and everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained, there is no need to continue to stay here.
Even if you search the second-hand instrument market for the same equipment, you won't be able to find it cheaper than this price. Moreover, the performance of instruments purchased on the second-hand market is quite unreliable in all aspects, especially on cutting-edge equipment. A slight error may prevent others from replicating your results.
Standing up from the sofa, Lu Zhou looked at Sarote and said, "I believe you have already read the contract. The only thing that has changed is the amount. Of course, you can also take it and study it slowly. I will walk around the institute first. Turn, if you like it, give me a call."
Lu Zhou: "You don't need to know what this is. In fact, apart from using mathematical methods to calculate some interesting things, I'm not sure of its value. I need you to help me complete some experiments according to my requirements. , to verify some of my guesses about computational materials.

Sarote made a helpless expression and shrugged to show that he didn't care.
With that said, Lu Zhou clicked the mouse.
"Let go."
In addition to a transfer contract for the institute, there is an employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement.
The graphics on the screen began to change, and at the same time, he continued to explain.
"In addition, I will be at the University of California, Berkeley these days. If you have any questions, you can call or come see me. Do you have any questions?"
He knew exactly what he wanted and what was truly important to a scholar.
Lu Zhou did not wait too long. After reading the contract from beginning to end, Sarote signed his name at the end.
In fact, to be honest, if you can be a professor at Cornell University, Sarote must be of good quality.
Sarote frowned slightly, stared at the model and thought for a moment, then asked: "It sounds like a good topic, but how do we fuse the fullerene material with a carbon nanotube?"
The graphics on the screen began to change, and at the same time, he continued to explain.
In a place like Silicon Valley, a PhD student who can operate an SEM electron microscope to collect images can be hired with an annual salary of RMB 100,000. However, it still takes some effort to find a Maverick who can direct a group of PhD students to conduct experiments and successfully complete the project.
In a sense, the relationship between academic status and research funding is like a hen and eggs.
Regarding the issue of research funding, Star Technology will contact Professor Sarote, and the experimental project will be launched next month at the latest.
Because Lu Zhou agreed to give him five minutes to give himself a reason to choose him.
But when his employer nodded, he said nothing, took out the contract from his briefcase, and quickly wrote the amount and other information in the blank space with a ballpoint pen.
"I can't provide you with more information. I can only tell you that this is a pattern obtained by topological transformation of fullerene materials and carbon nanotube materials. To describe it in chemical language, the two Carbon nanospheres obtained by π bond recombination of various materials."
Lu Zhou said indifferently: "Unfortunately, I am an atheist. I will use a contract to bind you."
As long as he can produce results, as long as he has a place in the paper, he will be willing to continue working even if it means that he has to work for nothing.
…
"And watch you use my name to lie?"
Sarote frowned slightly, stared at the model and thought for a moment, then asked: "It sounds like a good topic, but how do we fuse the fullerene material with a carbon nanotube?"
"I won't let you go unless you promise not to leave!"
This is true. Selling the entire institute for five million dollars is almost equivalent to selling the equipment in the institute as scrap metal.
Driven by the desire to survive, Professor Sarote said immediately after sitting down on the sofa without talking nonsense.
In fact, what he wanted to ask most was what would be the use of this thing once it was made, but the expression on Lu Zhou's face clearly did not intend to explain it to him, so he kept this sentence in his heart.

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to pull off this face...
Sarote smiled and realized that he had asked nonsense.
Lu Zhou looked at him as if he was mentally retarded: "That's a good question. If I know how to synthesize this thing, what else do I need from you?"
It was for the same reason that he was willing to sell the research institute and himself to Lu Zhou at a loss of US$5 million.
Sarote immediately shook his head: "No more."

“…”
With that said, Lu Zhou clicked the mouse.
The reason why big cows are big cows is not because of how talented their brains are, but because they can always get research funds and someone will always pay for their research.
As long as he can produce results, as long as he has a place in the paper, he will be willing to continue working even if it means that he has to work for nothing.
But when his employer nodded, he said nothing, took out the contract from his briefcase, and quickly wrote the amount and other information in the blank space with a ballpoint pen.
