Chapter 542: Zero Point Technology's first employee

Cafe.

The two had just ordered drinks when a middle-aged man in a black suit entered the cafe, his gaze swept around the lobby, and then fell on Xu Qingzhou and them.

Xu Qingzhou and the other recognized from the photo on the resume that it was indeed Yorken Ross who came for the interview.

The other party is German, formerly employed at BASF in Germany, responsible for offshore structure design, establishing holding companies within the EU, and optimizing internal capital flow and dividend distribution of the group.

Before meeting, Song Yao also asked a friend of Professor Morton in Germany to check his resume. 10 years of professional career, no stains, Siemens tried to poach him several times.

"Good morning, Professor Xu, Miss Song, very happy to see you."

"Hello, Mr. Yorken Ross, please sit."

Xu Qingzhou nodded.

Ross sat upright, greeting while also sizing up the "new boss."

Beside the aisle is the boss, the world-renowned mathematician Xu Qingzhou, extremely young, with a calmness and composure at this age that no one else has. The woman sitting by the window should be Song Yao, who contacted him, with an elegant temperament, an extraordinary aura, giving people a feeling of being decisive and swift.

Clearly, neither of them is an ordinary person.

Song Yao opened the resume and asked directly in a deep voice: "Mr. Ross, Siemens gave you a quite good salary, why did you choose our newly established small company?"

"Yes, the salary offered by Siemens is 20% higher than Zero Point Technology."

Ross spoke frankly and said in a deep voice: "Zero Point Technology has incomparable advantages; it is newly established, full of vitality and hope, and there will be infinite possibilities in the future."

"Before choosing to accept this job, I investigated Professor Xu's background. Compared to Siemens, I think following a boss like you will have a better future. After all, if I go to Siemens, I will still just be a department manager. According to Siemens' promotion tradition, there won't be a position at Zero Point Technology before retirement."

The treatment offered by Zero Point Technology is an annual salary of 400,000, but this does not include various welfare allowances. Except for the company being a bit new and not comparable to old-school enterprises with a long history like Siemens, everything is not bad.

Career needs opportunities, but in this era, opportunities are all snatched up by young people. For middle-aged people, wanting to have a breakthrough in their career is difficult. Coming to Zero Point Technology is a risky choice, but it is also a rare opportunity.

"Thank you, I like your honesty."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and continued: "Please tell me about your plan for offshore company management."

"Of course..."

For the next half hour, the two asked several questions separately, and Ross talked eloquently, including company structure, details of establishing the Singapore branch.

Deserving of having 10 years of professional experience, every point was said very clearly, from team establishment to management, then to operation, including risks that might be faced, such as in the process of capital docking, it might be determined by the local tax bureau that the company is a "mailbox entity," resulting in tax collection + fines, etc.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao looked at each other, exchanged opinions, he got up, reached out and said: "Mr. Ross, welcome to join Zero Point Technology, hope that under your management, Zero Point Technology will get better and better."

Ross also stood up quickly and said solemnly: "I guarantee it will, thank you Professor Xu, Miss Song for giving me this opportunity."

Signed the employment contract, confidentiality agreement, etc. on the spot.

After all documents were signed.

Xu Qingzhou started talking about business: "In the near future, Zero Point Technology will receive the first payment. Before that, we still have some preparation work to do."

"Are you talking about the patent fee from GE?" Ross asked.

Xu Qingzhou nodded with a smile: "That's right, 500 million US dollars."

"500 million?"

Ross was a little surprised. Outside rumors said it was around 300 million, didn't expect the first amount to be a huge sum of 500 million US dollars!

Facts proved that his choice was correct.

He took a deep breath, restrained his excitement, and waited for the arrangements of the two bosses.

Song Yao explained: "To be accurate, the initial stage is 200 million in funds. We signed a technology option agreement with GE. After fixing the patent temporary application and submitting PPA through USPTO to establish the priority date, GE will pay a 200 million advance payment, and pay a 300 million advance payment when the patent is authorized."

Song Yao has been responsible for Zero Point Technology's affairs, and Ross's subsequent work is also arranged by Song Yao. Xu Qingzhou sipped coffee and listened.

As she spoke, Song Yao handed the materials she brought to Ross, "We need to establish a branch in Singapore for capital transit. This part of the work needs to be docked by you and Maples Group. This should be the same as your previous work."

"Of course, this is a conventional international operation. The work is very complicated. If possible, I will set off for Singapore tomorrow."

Ross said after reading the materials.

"Very happy you have such passion."

At 10 AM, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao came out of the cafe and walked back to the apartment along the banks of the Charles River.

Under a maple tree, Song Yao stopped, pointed to a chair in the distance.

Xu Qingzhou understood the meaning, patted the chair and sat down. Before he could speak, Song Yao had already sat on his lap and warned: "Not allowed to move around."

Xu Qingzhou had mentioned many times that he wanted to sit on the chair, which made her a bit worried, although this guy shouldn't be that perverted.

"Giving you a chair, can't I collect some benefits?"

"No!"

This time point is actually the most comfortable, the clouds are open and the rain is broken, the breeze is coming, the sun is not as poisonous as in summer, sitting by the river, the tense nerves are all relaxed.

The tip of the nose is always lingering with a faint scent.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but arch on the neck of the girl in his arms, but was soon pushed away by Song Yao.

Abroad, although young men and women are often seen hugging and touching each other, Song Yao is still very reserved in terms of men and women. Of course... there is indeed an inexplicable sense of stimulation.

Xu Qingzhou didn't push his luck, holding the girl's slender waist, "How is your thesis?"

"The editor replied to the email in the morning, saying it has entered the external review stage."

Song Yao leaned back, leaning on Xu Qingzhou, her gaze drifting to the water grass swaying with the wind on the river surface. She has been working continuously these days and hasn't come out for a good walk.

"Quite fast." For Xu Qingzhou, he no longer cares about the number of theses, and it doesn't matter whether he signs his name or not, but Song Yao insists, saying that one is one, and two is two.

The thesis is public, but he is not worried that some stubborn institution will really take this plan to set up Tesla and be used to manipulate the market.

Although the thesis completely discloses the calculation logic of cross-market resonance equations, vulnerability coefficients, etc., the appendix and supplementary materials also describe key steps such as iceberg order detection, emotional explosion, etc. in the form of mathematical formulas and flowcharts, but the core code is encrypted.

Moreover, Song Yao had already reported this research to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before this to ensure compliance with the anti-manipulation provisions of Section 10(b)-5 of the Securities Act.

How to say, it is to avoid all factors that may cause disputes.
