Chapter 533

Next, Xu Qingzhou planned to try the first of the three plans he had written down, which was to refer to the wave-particle duality of light, prepare sub-nanometer YO quantum dots through quantum confinement effects, and use their quantum size effects to enhance the pinning potential well depth.

Sub-nanometer YO quantum dots and the previous YO nano-doping—the two methods sounded somewhat similar, but they were actually two different levels of complementary technical means.

The former is dominated by quantum confinement effects, regulating electron-phonon coupling through energy level discretization, while the latter is dominated by classical pinning effects, binding magnetic flux line movement through geometric potential wells.

The focus is different.

Quantum dots have an advantage in Tc improvement and radiation resistance, while YO nano-doping can provide stronger magnetic flux line binding force. Using this technology at the beginning was also to solve the problem of the magnetic field dependence of critical current density.

The synergy of quantum dot precision doping and conventional YO nano-doping is essentially the cross-scale coupling of quantum effects and classical mechanics.

His goal, well, Jc(12T)=3.0×10^6 A/cm² by May, Tc=18.3K.

As for the last kind of "black technology," it was more troublesome than these two, so he would only study it after returning to the country.

Festive lights were just lit, and the sky was hung with a few wisps of thin clouds, like light gauze drifting in the moonlight, sliding across the bright night sky, leaving dots of shadows on the ground.

10:00 PM.

In the apartment,

"I've finished the process for future patents; take a look."

Song Yao got up to pour herself water, and after finishing, she drank two gulps.

"So fast."

Xu Qingzhou clicked his tongue, clicking on the document Song Yao sent him. At the same time, Song Yao also walked over and sat on Xu Qingzhou's thigh.

Xu Qingzhou held the girl's slender waist, his nose sniffing, and he could immediately smell the fragrance after the shower.

He clicked on the file, one hand preparing to seek some benefits for himself first.

Song Yao swatted away a claw that wanted to reach into her clothes and opened her mouth: "I suggest you look at the first document first... The more important work now is to register an offshore company, hold all international patent assets, sign licensing agreements with international enterprises, and avoid political censorship."

Xu Qingzhou originally wanted to take advantage, but hearing this, he immediately sat up straight.

Registering an offshore company is one of the country's conventional practices.

About 40% of global cross-border direct investment is completed through offshore financial centers like the Cayman Islands and BVI. Multinational giants like Apple and Google all optimize global tax and asset allocation through offshore structures.

Song Yao took the mouse from Xu Qingzhou and continued: "I've compared the registration locations; we can choose the Cayman Islands, entrust the Cayman licensed agent Maples Group, sign a service agreement, and registration can be completed within 2-3 weeks. Of course, we also need to open a bank account at UBS in Switzerland. Agent fee + government fee + bank account opening fee, it costs about 20,000 US dollars."

Xu Qingzhou nodded, thinking of another big problem: "Hmm, this money can't be saved... Is our money still enough?"

"There's about 360,000 US dollars in our accounts."

Song Yao said, "According to the current speed of spending, it's about enough."

Xu Qingzhou was relieved, sighing: "It's already spent more than 1 million... Doing experiments is indeed a money-burning activity."

To be precise, most of the money left in this card was Song Yao's; his part had already been spent almost completely.

So, is it considered eating soft rice now?

Fortunately, the experimental results were quite good; otherwise, the wife's dowry would really have been lost.

Song Yao slid the mouse, continuing to talk to Xu Qingzhou about the offshore company: "In terms of the capital pool structure, we can make two offshore accounts. The main account is responsible for receiving international patent fees, and the sub-account is set up in Singapore, used for capital mobilization in the Asia-Pacific region..."

The school beauty Song was quite professional. Besides this, there was also a domestic channel, establishing a Hong Kong transit account to receive offshore funds, and even considering R&D after returning to the country, establishing a physical account in the country, at which time funds could be remitted to the domestic R&D company or research institute.

In addition, there was capital allocation, such as 30% retained in the offshore company for international operations, and 70% remitted to personal accounts to avoid foreign exchange controls.

And regarding patents, the school beauty Song also gave two plans, such as one-time buyout, or prepayment plus sales sharing, and licensing models, etc.

"Professional."

Xu Qingzhou evaluated.

"Not bad... Hmm~"

Song Yao couldn't help but make a strange hum.

The living room was instantly filled with a romantic atmosphere.

Xu Qingzhou's claws wanted to pinch again, but were dragged out by the girl, angry from embarrassment: "Get away, I don't want you to hold me!"

Xu Qingzhou shrugged innocently, closed the computer, and prepared to take a shower first.

The next day, the exhausted Xu Qingzhou was dragged up by Song Yao to continue researching the offshore company.

After discussing, Song Yao contacted the agency Maples Group. The other party provided a "full-managed service package"—registration + annual review + bank account opening + tax declaration, costing about 12,000-100,000 USD/year, which needed to be discussed in detail.

The two met the account manager of Maples Group, a German man who looked about forty, named Gabi Griffiths.

Because the service object was a Fields Medal winner, Maples Group attached great importance to it.

Gabi Griffiths guaranteed that a corresponding plan could be produced within 48 hours. If Xu Qingzhou and the others felt there was no problem, he would come to sign the contract with a legal specialist.

On the evening of the 11th, the two discussed the agency details with Gabi Griffiths. At 8:00 PM, Xu Qingzhou received a call from Zhang Xiaohui of the Organization Department.

"Professor Xu, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest at this time." Zhang Xiaohui's tone still maintained respect.

"You're too polite. Is there any clue about the materials research institute?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaohui entered the main topic, saying, "Professor Xu, we will specifically allocate a building next to the Yuanmingyuan campus of Peking University as the materials research institute. Of course, your other conditions are also no problem... If you have other ideas now, you are also welcome to supplement them."

"Thank you for your hard work; there are no other supplements for now." Xu Qingzhou said with a smile, an expected matter.

Zhang Xiaohui continued, "If you have time recently, we can come over tomorrow to finalize the specific details."

"Tomorrow?"

Xu Qingzhou was a bit surprised this time. From Xia country to Boston, even if it's a direct flight from Kyoto, it would take more than ten hours, right?

"We are already preparing to board the plane and will be able to arrive in Boston tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright, I'm troubling you to make a trip for my affairs again."

Xu Qingzhou was even a bit embarrassed.

"You are the pillar of the motherland; compared to the hard work of you scientific researchers, this is nothing."

After Zhang Xiaohui praised him, he paused and tentatively said, "In addition, besides me, a colleague from the Ministry of Science and Technology also wants to visit you; what do you think..."

"I have no problem here."

Xu Qingzhou nodded with a smile; the other party was probably here for the superconducting thin film.

"Good."

Having agreed to meet at 6:00 PM tomorrow, the two hung up the phone.

"Hoo~ a good holiday has been smashed to pieces..."

Xu Qingzhou rubbed his brow.

He had already received 3 calls in the evening; the first two were Siemens and General Electric, respectively arranging to meet in the morning and at noon, hoping to talk about the superconducting thin film in his hands.

Song Yao came out of the bathroom wearing a shower cap. "Organization Department's call?"

"Hmm, said they hope to meet tomorrow evening, and there are people from the Ministry of Science and Technology, probably aiming for the superconducting thin film."

He touched his belly and asked Song Yao, who came out after showering: "Do you want to eat a midnight snack?"

"No."

Song Yao refused decisively.

"Then I'll eat it myself; there's a cold dish from noon in the fridge, just right to boil some noodles."
