Chapter 671 Moxin Technology
“Integration of industry, academia and research?”
This is a new term. Although Tan Hongbo didn’t understand its meaning at the moment, he always felt that it seemed very powerful.
"What is that?"
Lu Yiming explained: "The so-called industry-university-research cooperation refers to the combination of enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions. It is the coordination and integration of the functional and resource advantages of different social divisions of scientific research, education and production, and the connection and coupling of the upstream, midstream and downstream of technological innovation. Industries, schools, scientific research institutions, etc. cooperate with each other, give full play to their respective advantages, form a powerful advanced system integrating research, development and production, and reflect comprehensive advantages in the operation process. The cooperation between enterprises as technology demanders and scientific research institutes or universities as technology suppliers is actually an effective combination of various production factors required to promote technological innovation."
"Specifically, production is the market economy of enterprises. Under the premise of market economy, enterprises seek cooperation methods that are more suitable for their development, and use the output of talents and research results from scientific research institutions and universities as the driving force for their development. At the same time, it also provides universities and research institutions with the use of research and talent development resources."
"The university's talent training can better meet the needs of social enterprises, and use high-quality professional talents to meet the transformation needs within the industry. At the same time, while producing talents, we can introduce social professional talents to enrich the talent pool of universities."
“Research refers to scientific and technological research by scientific research institutions. With the help of the good platform and resources of social enterprises, scientific research institutions can complete the planning of research directions while developing technology, transforming from purely technical research institutions into research structures that take both technology and direction into consideration. At the same time, the research results will promote the overall development of enterprises and industries.”
"To put it simply, companies and universities work together on scientific research projects. Companies invest money, and once successful, the commercial benefits belong to the companies, while researchers can also obtain academic results, which is a win-win situation for both parties."
"The integration of industry, academia and research can build a complete technological innovation chain that closely links scientific research, design, engineering, production and the market, and effectively solve the outstanding problems of dispersed industrial concentration, lack of original innovation in the technology field, insufficient supply of common technologies, and core competitiveness being restricted by people."
As Lu Yiming explained, Tan Hongbo felt suddenly enlightened.
"This is a good idea. Enterprises have funds and needs but lack technology, while universities have technology and R&D capabilities, but they don't understand the market and have no funds, and are out of touch with society. If both sides can cooperate, students can start to understand the market, research technology, and transform results in school without worrying about funding. This is a win-win situation."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."
Although the integration of industry, academia and research has been ruined by many people with ulterior motives in history, Lu Yiming now has a preconceived idea and is bound to set standards and rules for this system.
"I am very interested in the graphene you are researching now, and I also have some small insights in this area. I plan to invest at least 300 million yuan every year in scientific research. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Three hundred million? Every year?"
Tan Hongbo thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"Mr. Lu, are you sure you are not joking?"
Lu Yiming said: "Of course, we can sign a contract. I will make a detailed plan and timetable, and you must strictly follow my plan. I wonder if you are willing?"
Tan Hongbo blurted out: "Yes, of course I am willing."
Are you kidding? Three hundred million per year. From now on, when doing experiments, there will be no need to distinguish one, three, five, two, four, and six. Just click and it's done.
Three hundred million in cash would be a huge pile in the house.
Xu Tengyu thought about it and suddenly felt sad: "Brother, 300 million per year, you just give it to them? I also need your strong support here. Do you think you can also give 100 million or 800 million to Tengyu Logistics?"
"Go away."
Lu Yiming waved his hand, and then said to Tan Hongbo: "Come on, let's continue talking about graphene. Where were we just now? The benefits of graphene, right?"
Talking about his own professional matters, Tan Hongbo became even more excited and said, "Yes, graphene is a revolutionary material, and scientists all over the world are now studying it. But now there is a very serious problem in front of , that is, although graphene exists in nature, no one knows how to separate and prepare it."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I know."
Tan Hongbo looked suspicious: "You know?"
Xu Tengyu saw Tan Hongbo's slightly distorted expression and said, "Very awesome?"
Tan Hongbo immediately said: "Of course it's awesome! Whoever can prepare and separate the graphene structure may win the Nobel Prize!"
"Fuck, is this so cool?"
Xu Tengyu looked at Lu Yiming: "Are you going to win the Nobel Prize?"
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "No, why would I take that thing?"
He looked at Tan Hongbo and said, "Let me tell you, to prepare graphene, you can try to peel off graphite sheets from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, and then stick both sides of the sheet to a special tape. By tearing off the tape, you can split the graphite sheet in two. As long as you keep doing this, the sheet will become thinner and thinner, and finally you will be able to get a sheet consisting of only one layer of carbon atoms, which is graphene."
"Also, the single-layer and double-layer graphene systems have integer quantum Hall effect and quantum Hall effect at room temperature..."
Although Lu Yiming had no idea what the quantum Hall effect was, it was not important. What was important was that Lu Yiming could tell Tan Hongbo everything about it. Geniuses like Tan Hongbo, who had an IQ that was off the charts and were passionate about scientific research, often lacked luck and direction in their research field rather than strength.
Lu Yiming is his luck, and he can also point him in the right direction.
If it is just graphene preparation technology, it is actually useless. At most, it can win a Nobel Prize. It may not even win. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is impossible to be completely fair in the selection. Otherwise, Comrade Mendeleev, the great chemist in history, would not have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
You have to know that he is the god-level boss who created the periodic table.
Graphene was created in the laboratory in 2004, but unfortunately, after more than ten years of research, nothing has been achieved.
It was not until 2017 that Cao Yuan, a young Chinese scholar, discovered the "magic angle" of double-layer graphene while studying for a doctorate at MIT. After twisting the double-layer graphene molecules by about 1.1 degrees, the double-layer graphene becomes a superconducting material.
The problem of how to produce superconducting materials at room temperature, which has troubled mankind for 107 years, has finally been answered here, and has directly opened up a new field of condensed matter physics.
In other words, from the application perspective, graphene and superconductors, two seemingly unrelated concepts, were only linked together in 2018, and because they obtained the most critical theoretical basis, they generated the most direct commercial development value.
What Lu Yiming needs to do is to make this moment come in advance so that Tianxin Semiconductor can be the first to master the trump card of graphene chips.
Although Lu Yiming was reciting the encyclopedia information , Tan Hongbo didn't know. As Lu Yiming spoke one professional term after another, his expression became more and more serious. By the time Lu Yiming finished speaking, he had already stood in awe of Lu Yiming and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him as his disciple.
Brother, you are a computer science student who made your fortune by speculating in stocks. How come you know so much about the most cutting-edge topics in physics?
Although Tan Hongbo has not verified the methods of preparing graphene, and he doesn't know whether Lu Yiming is talking nonsense, but when Lu Yiming said so, he instinctively felt that it should work!
No wonder 300 million is invested every year in research.
Just what I have just said is enough to set up several experimental research groups and produce several or even dozens of high-quality research papers.
If graphene is really produced according to these methods, it will definitely make a sensation in the world!
Thinking that he might soon become one of the most dazzling stars in the world of physics, Tan Hongbo rubbed his hands with excitement.
He gave a thumbs up and said to Lu Yiming: "Teacher Lu, you are simply awesome! This!"
Tan Hongbo has no interest in power. After all, like Xu Tengyu, he comes from a prominent family. If he were interested in this thing, he would definitely go into politics directly.
He has no concept of money, otherwise, according to his family's status, he could do business smoothly with just any arrangement.
He was obsessed with academics and devoted to scientific research, which is why he studied all the way to a doctorate and became the most educated person in his circle.
Therefore, in his eyes, Lu Yiming's title as the richest man in Xia Country and the richest man in Asia was just like that. Even if Xu Tengyu praised Lu Yiming to the skies, he didn't feel anything in his heart.
But when he heard Lu Yiming talk about the research topic of graphene, a super frontier field, he was shocked. Especially when Lu Yiming even gave a unprecedented method of preparing graphene, Tan Hongbo was even more astonished and directly addressed him as "teacher".
Since ancient times, Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers have been the three most important people. In ancient times, there was also a saying that a teacher is a father for life. This shows the weight of the words "Teacher Lu".
Xu Tengyu was confused. Seeing that Tan Hongbo had already started to call Mr. Lu, he immediately shouted, "What the hell, what are you two talking about? Why can't I understand anything?"
Tan Hongbo glanced at Xu Tengyu and said, "It would be strange if you, an uneducated guy, could understand it."
Xu Tengyu yelled in dissatisfaction: "Do you think what you said is reasonable? I am a college student after all, how can I be so ignorant?"
Lu Yiming waved his hand and acted as a peacemaker: "Alright, stop arguing here, Dr. Tan, go back and discuss it with your advisor. If you are willing to cooperate, we can jointly establish a company. By the way, don't tell anyone what I just said. That's my gift to you."
Tan Hongbo certainly understood the importance of this "greeting gift" and said immediately: "I know my limits, you can rest assured. I will go back and discuss it with the school."
Seeing Tan Hongbo's success in begging for alms, Xu Tengyu was extremely envious. Three hundred million a year, how many things can he do with that?
"Mr. Lu, look at our Tengyu Logistics..."
"roll."
"Okay."
The next day, Tan Hongbo called Lu Yiming and said that the school agreed to Lu Yiming's plan.
There's no way, he gave too much.
A few days later, China Overseas Jiaotong University and Future Capital jointly announced that Future Capital would invest 5 million yuan in registered capital and establish "Moxin Technology Co., Ltd." with a 50:50 equity structure. Future Capital announced that in the next ten years, it would invest no less than 300 million yuan in the company each year for the exploration and development of new technologies, without considering direct profits.
To put it simply, take out 3 billion and spend it directly on the company.
The news has been released and has exploded in both the business and academic circles.
Three billion in ten years without considering profit, Lu Yiming's operation was considered by everyone to be completely contrary to the bourgeois approach.
In academia, this is even more so.
Who doesn’t need money nowadays? There are countless scientific research projects that are fighting fiercely for tens of thousands of dollars of research funds.
As for MoXin Technology, it has been giving away 300 million every year for ten consecutive years without considering profits. Is this the worst kind of philanthropist out there?
All scientific research institutions and research organizations are simply crying with envy.
All of a sudden, people who came to Lu Yiming to beg for alms were like a swarm of fish crossing the river. The projects were varied and sounded refreshing.
Lu Yiming rejected those projects that were obviously money-sucking without saying a word. However, he also invested in some projects that have not been taken seriously yet, or are even considered to be messy, but will rise and shine in the future.
This investment cost several hundred million yuan.
This operation stunned Xu Tengyu, who had been paying close attention to Lu Yiming in the past few days.
Seeing Lu Yiming happily spending money, Xu Tengyu also had a new understanding in his heart - this is the real happiness of rich people. What's the big deal about buying luxury cars and famous watches? The real arrogance is to spend hundreds of millions on scientific research without blinking an eye.
This realization made Xu Tengyu deeply moved.
It seems that I am still a long way from being the richest man.
At the headquarters of Moxin Technology Company, Lu Yiming stood outside the gate, looking at the sign that had just been hung up, in a very good mood.
At the founding meeting, while the leaders of Zhonghai Jiaotong University were talking, Li Yiwen, who was sitting next to Lu Yiming, complained: "You just spent 3 billion to buy two plots of land to build a square, and now you spend another 300 million to start a new company? No, it's 300 million every year for ten consecutive years, another 3 billion. Instead of wasting this money, you might as well buy a few more planes to put in the company, at least it looks impressive. Even if you take a step back, whether you use the planes as collateral for bank loans or sell them off when you have difficulty in cash flow, you can at least get some money back. Using them to start a technology company to conduct research in the field of materials is pure injustice."
Before coming here, Li Yiwen finished reading the Moxin Technology Development Plan written by Lu Yiming on the plane. I have to say that the content is quite good, but it is a bit frustrating to read.
Developing a new material that has never been discovered, how low is the probability of success?
In his opinion, MoXin Technology is more like a private research institute than a company. Except for the company's front desk, the average educational level of its employees is at least a master's degree.
At present, Lu Yiming has commissioned Epstein to help purchase various advanced instruments and equipment in the United States. It is estimated that the three hundred million will be spent soon.
Another 300 million will be needed every year for ten years.
Thinking of this, Li Yiwen felt that his brain was not getting enough blood.
"I say, why do you always bother with these things? Can't you do something that is sure to make money? Not 100% sure, but something with a high probability of making money is fine. In scientific research, you spend money like water. If you take the right path, it's good. If you take the wrong path and burn money but still don't get any results, that's the worst."
Lu Yiming didn't explain too much. After all, graphene was such a magical new material that no one would believe anything he said before any results were achieved.
So Lu Yiming just said, "You can be willful with a lot of money, just treat it as buying lottery tickets. Three hundred million is not a lot of money. If we win the jackpot, we will be rich. Besides, don't you think about who I am? With me here, how can you have the chance to go the wrong way?"
Li Yiwen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Come on, are you just bragging? Don't tell me you know anything about graphene?"
Lu Yi smiled slightly and said modestly: "I understand a little bit, a little bit."
Li Yiwen: “…”
After the meeting, when he returned to school for class, Long Qiquan found Lu Yiming again, looking unhappy.
"Why did you quietly go to cooperate with Jiaotong University?"
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. Don't think that colleges and universities are holy places of learning. Competition also exists, and it may even be more intense.
After all, scientific research funds are allocated by the state, and there is a limited amount in total. If your school has more, that school will have less.
In Long Qiquan's opinion, as a student of Fu Ri University, Lu Yiming should choose Fu Ri University without a doubt even if he wants to invest in scientific research.
Good things should be kept within the family.
Now, Lu Yiming has gone to Jiaotong University, and has invested 300 million yuan every year for ten consecutive years, a total of 3 billion yuan, just to study a research project.
Long Qiquan was so jealous when he saw that.
Although Lu Yiming had cooperated with Fu Ri University on many projects, especially several civilian projects such as Zhen Xiang fast food, Fu Ri University made a lot of money, but when it comes to making money, who would complain about having too much?
Long Qiquan was the president after all, so he had to give him the respect he deserved. So Lu Yiming had to explain, "President Long, I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that no one in our school is researching this project. The research in that laboratory at Jiaotong University has already achieved certain results, and I can't just let our school open a research lab and start from scratch, right?"
