Volume 2 Academic Career Chapter 793: No Lack of Funds
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou said to Chen Haining: "Haining, if their offer is really this much, then it means there is still room for increase. We need to maximize the value of this material."
"I understand." Chen Haining responded, "I will try my best to increase the value of the materials and raise their offer price."
Chen Zhou nodded slightly and continued, "I want to emphasize one thing to you. You must know that the value of this material lies in the quotes of these companies. Do you understand?"
"Brother Chen, do you mean that this material can be completely released?" Chen Haining asked with some surprise.
In his opinion, Chen Zhou has always valued his research results very much, and has unique selection criteria when choosing cooperative enterprises.
But this time, why is money suddenly emphasized so much?
Because Chen Haining didn't know about the deviation material, he thought that this material was the same as Chen Zhou's previous research results.
Little did they know that Chen Zhou had already decided to start with the deviant materials and began to make money step by step.
After all, his Yenching Institute of Theoretical Sciences is a money-burning enterprise, and the Luzhou Institute of Applied Science and Technology under construction is also a money-burning enterprise.
There are also the academic journals on theory and application that he is planning to establish, as well as the implementation of various ideas, which all cost money.
When Chen Zhou thought of this, he felt that he was still too poor and in need of money, so he had to make money.
Naturally, Chen Zhou also told Chen Haining about this, but he concealed the matter of the deviant materials.
After listening to this, Chen Haining immediately understood Chen Zhou's intention. It turned out that the boss was short of money.
He was helping Chen Zhou manage the funds. He actually knew more about the various expenses than Chen Zhou, so he fully supported Chen Zhou's idea.
However, Chen Haining still asked: "What are the requirements for the company that can cooperate this time?"
Chen Zhou said directly: "There are no requirements, we can cooperate. But on the surface, we still have to focus on domestic companies."
"Okay, then I know." Chen Haining couldn't help but say mischievously, " It seems that we can make a killing for those foreign companies in this industry, so that they can stop us from doing this."
Chen Zhou also said: "That's right, don't hold back, kill them as much as you can!"
After a pause, Chen Zhou continued, "In addition, during the negotiation, you can tell the other party that our team will continue to research this material to ensure that the properties of this material are always at the forefront!"
Chen Haining's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Brother Chen, do you mean that I can come here completely under your name?"
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "This is a long-term job. Using my name will make them more convinced. In addition, I believe that the influence of this material paper is still gradually fermenting, and they will have a clear understanding of it themselves."
"Hehe, okay!" Chen Haining smiled and was already thinking about the negotiation scene.
As Chen Zhou expected, as the paper on deviant materials went viral, many research institutions and experimental teams in the chemical and material science communities began to announce that they had confirmed the excellent properties of the materials in the paper.
This also means that the academic community has recognized the research results of this material!
This is undoubtedly the biggest good news for Chen Haining's negotiations.
Chen Haining couldn't help but sigh that the boss not only took into account every step in academics, but also took into account things beyond academics.
After confirming the authenticity of the deviant materials in Chen Zhou's paper, representatives from major semiconductor companies around the world came to Yanjing in order to reach cooperation as quickly as possible.
However, during the negotiations with them, Chen Haining always acted very tough and kept raising the price, which was a result they did not expect.
In a hotel in Yanjing, China.
"I know that major research institutions and experimental teams have publicly confirmed the authenticity of the paper. But what I want is your proof!"
"Smith, can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
"Okay, you go ahead!"
"We have done many demonstration experiments, and the results are the same as everyone else's! In addition, the boss has used his connections to try to intercept this research result, but Chen Zhou has already applied for various patents, and there is no loophole!"
"You mean to say that we have become lambs to be slaughtered?"
"That's about right. We can only accept the other party's request as much as possible. There is no other way! We can't break through the other party's technical barriers!"
"Okay, I'll check with the boss again. To use the Chinese language, they're asking for too much. I'm not sure if we really need to accept it..."
"But didn't you say that the other party proposed that Chen Zhou's research team will continue to study this material? If so, as long as we can cooperate, we can ensure our position!"
"I know... you really can't break through?"
"He is Chen Zhou, what are you thinking? Even if we can break through the technical barrier this time, it will definitely cost a huge amount of time. With his ability, he may have already set up a second or even third level of technical barriers. There is no point in doing this!"
"I understand..."
Similar conversations are happening in many hotels in Yanjing.
But in the end, they all came to the same conclusion without exception.
That is, with Chen Zhou around, they cannot break through the blockade of technological barriers and can only choose to either cooperate or be abandoned.
This conclusion is undoubtedly what they least want to see, but the facts are before them, and they can only give up their original huge interests in order to gain the possibility of cooperation.
There are some people who want to cooperate indirectly with domestic Chinese companies through secondary cooperation.
Because they found that the cooperation prices offered by domestic Chinese companies were much lower than theirs.
Even if they adopt the method of secondary cooperation with a higher price, it is better than cooperating directly with Chen Zhou.
Unfortunately, after they contacted many companies, no one was willing to cooperate with them again.
The reason is, this is all Chen Zhou’s request.
Now that he has the final say and the right to set prices, it is impossible for him to give them to others.
If someone chooses to cooperate again, the cooperation between them will be terminated immediately and there will be no possibility of cooperation again.
Under such circumstances, all other paths for these foreign companies are almost blocked.
In the end, all the companies accepted the cooperation model proposed by Chen Zhou and signed technology usage contracts at a huge price.
When Chen Haining reported to Chen Zhou the amount of the contracts signed by each family, Chen Zhou couldn't help laughing out loud.
Well, now his pockets are completely filled, and he will no longer be short of money for the development of the two research institutes.
In a word, there will be no shortage of funds.
More importantly, Zhang Yifan and his team now have something to do. They can conduct a series of research on the connection between deviation materials and DMD-X materials, as well as the follow-up of DMD-X materials.
This is also a two-pronged preparation, one is for before the research of the "Kuafu" project is completed, and the other is for the publication of the research paper on DMD-X material after completion.
Chen Zhou doesn't want to let go of the current situation where he has no shortage of funds...
