Chapter 251 Invitation from a Large State-owned Enterprise
According to China's "Personal Income Tax Law", the Nobel Prize money is "awarded by foreign organizations and international organizations in the fields of science, education, technology, culture, health, sports, environmental protection, etc."
According to relevant laws and regulations, the Nobel Prize is tax-exempt.
These 6.5 million Chinese yuan can be fully deposited into Xu You’s personal account.
Of course, Xu You is very conscious of paying taxes. Even when Luo Wenkun transferred 50,000 yuan in thank-you money to Xu You's bank card, Xu You reported it truthfully and paid taxes legally.
In addition to the Nobel Prize money, after Xu You won the award, many organizations or individuals expressed their intention to award Xu You honors and prize money.
But apart from the official rewards, Xu You declined most of the rewards.
Xu You cannot take other people's money or gifts for no reason.
Especially if the money comes from private enterprises, the nature will be completely different if it is accepted.
After experiencing the Nobel Prize incident, Xu You continued his daily scientific research work.
Most of the time in scientific research is relatively monotonous and ordinary, and there are not so many exciting moments.
The only difference is that because of Xu You's status as a Nobel Prize winner in Physics, it has become easier for him to apply for various projects, and many companies are also very active in inviting Xu You to cooperate on horizontal projects.
Of course, Xu You is very strict about the selection of topics.
Xu You would only choose to accept topics that he felt were more meaningful.
Xu You would decisively reject any research projects invited by companies that were obviously trying to spend money to take advantage of his popularity.
On this day, Xu You received an invitation to a horizontal project from a state-owned enterprise in Shanghai in his work mailbox.
This is a textile company, which logically seems to have little to do with Xu You's research field.
But according to the content of the email, the company wanted Xu You to help it study the condensed structure and other properties of a new type of fiber material.
This new material is called Lyocell fiber, known as the green fiber of the 21st century, and has begun to be used in clothing, industry and other fields.
Because of its unique properties, this material has very good prospects in the future.
But at the same time, this material also has some disadvantages.
For example, it is easy to pilling and so on.
This has, to a certain extent, affected the current application of this material.
The company hopes that Xu You can help them improve the shortcomings of this material through his research.
After reading the contents of the email, Xu You was still very interested in the research on this topic.
Although this material is mainly used in the clothing industry and industry, it does not seem as important as materials such as chips.
But these are also essential and key links in people's lives.
Afterwards, Xu You checked the company that sent the email, and found that it was indeed the state-owned enterprise from Shanghai, just as stated in the email.
Xu You told Qiao Sen about this, and Qiao Sen also thought that this was a good research topic.
Even though the knowledge involved in this topic is not only condensed matter, it also includes some knowledge of materials.
But condensed matter is related to materials, not to mention that Xu You has extensive knowledge of materials.
In the high-temperature superconductivity project team, it was Xu You's key contribution that made the 202K superconducting material forming technology possible.
To some extent, Xu You's level of materials science is not even inferior to that of the top domestic materials experts.
After making clear his intention to cooperate with the company, Xu You responded via email, expressing his willingness to discuss the matter in detail.
After receiving Xu You's reply, the Modu Textile Group immediately expressed its willingness to come to Jijing to discuss the matter with Xu You in person.
Because of Xu You’s current special identity, he needs to report to his superiors even if he is just meeting with other people.
In the end, the meeting place was set on the campus of Ji University.
This way, it would be very convenient and safer for Xu You.
The management of Jida campus is now very strict.
People on campus need to show relevant documents before they can enter the campus.
If you are a person from outside the school, you not only need to make an appointment in advance, but you also need to go through a security check before you can enter the school.
On the day of the meeting, Xu You, Qiao Sen and others gathered in a reception room with people from the Magic City Textile Group.
Through mutual introductions, the two sides had a preliminary understanding of each other.
This man named Qi Zhiliang is the R&D director of Modou Textile Company, responsible for the research and development of some related technologies.
This topic may seem relatively ordinary, but it actually concerns the material revolution in the future clothing industry.
Because many synthetic fiber materials are made from petroleum.
Due to the increasing depletion of oil resources in today's society, the prospects for these synthetic fibers made from oil are very bleak.
In the industry, many people believe that this Lyocell fiber material is likely to be the mainstream material for clothing in the future.
"Professor Xu, the research on this material is mainly conducted by us together with the German Institute and domestic universities. Over the years, we have made many breakthroughs in the research on the properties of Lyocell fiber materials, but there are still some crucial problems that have not been completely solved."
Xu You didn't know much about the properties of this material, so he asked:
"Mr. Qi, please tell me in detail."
"Okay, Professor Xu. First of all, the advantage of Lyocell fiber is that it combines the excellent properties of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. It also combines the high moisture absorption and breathability of cotton, the smooth feel of silk, and the high strength of polyester. However, an obvious disadvantage of this material is fibrillation."
Xu You still knew the concept of fibrillation.
The so-called fibrillation refers to the splitting of tiny microfibers on the fiber surface.
Generally speaking, for materials that are prone to fibrillation, the fibrils produced during the first fibrillation are relatively large.
The length of the microfibers split out is about 1mm and can be tangled into balls.
To put it another way that is easier to understand, this material is more prone to pilling.
"Mr. Qi, that means clothes made of Lyocell fiber materials are more prone to pilling, right?"
Hearing Xu You's words, Qi Zhiliang smiled and said:
"As expected of Professor Xu, this is what you mean. This material is indeed very easy to pilling. We have been doing relevant research on this feature, and it has achieved certain results, but in recent years, it has been difficult to make a breakthrough. We have contacted many relevant research institutions, but they have not been able to solve this problem well. So this time, we thought of you, Professor Xu."
