Chapter 544: This is called having a little progress?

Cambridge, UK, in a hotel.

One of the senior vice presidents, Bell Zakaria, is looking at two projects he recently contacted. The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, brought a cup of iced Americano, and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Zakaria, Mr. Isaac and the others are active privately, and there will be actions in the near future."

Zakaria was not surprised, while flipping through the documents in his hand, said: "Still those old friends?"

"This time there is more Huss Campbell, he has always held an opposing opinion on your spending 500 million to buy patents."

"It seems we can look forward to their wonderful performance at the next board meeting." Zakaria smiled faintly, signed the documents on hand, and handed them to the secretary.

The secretary still couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zakaria, Professor Xu's side... is there any good news?"

Zakaria shrugged, sipped coffee, and said: "It has only been 1 month since we signed the letter of intent for cooperation."

The secretary also sighed, thinking to himself that he was indeed a bit anxious. Large-scale experiments like superconducting thin films are considered fast if there is a breakthrough in half a year, let alone a month.

"Calm down, I have a hunch that this time, God will be on our side."

Zakaria was not panicked at all, sipping coffee comfortably.

Ding~

Also at this time, the phone on the table rang.

Zakaria connected, smiled and said: "Professor Xu, good morning, very happy to hear your voice, do you have any new progress in the experiment?"

"I have lived up to the trust, there is a new breakthrough."

Zakaria was slightly surprised, "Oh, so fast, the JC performance reached 2.5×10⁴ A/cm²?"

"Very sorry, there is a relatively large discrepancy with this value."

Xu Qingzhou's helpless voice came from the receiver.

"It doesn't matter, looking forward to your new breakthrough."

Zakaria was a bit disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mentality. He had psychological preparation for this matter long ago. Superconducting thin film is not something that can be completed overnight.

He was willing to spend a huge sum to buy the patent in Xu Qingzhou's hands at the beginning, besides the current performance being not bad, it was also because he was optimistic about the potential of this product.

"Our JC performance can reach 3.5×10⁴ A/cm²."

"Ah?"

Zakaria's hand holding the coffee stopped, his expression stunned.

Fortunately, he dared to guarantee that if he drank the coffee, he would definitely spray it out because of surprise now.

On the phone, Xu Qingzhou's voice continued to sound: "Yes, you heard it right, the performance in all aspects is relatively stable, the yield is 86%, of course, it cannot be denied that this point needs improvement."

"..."

The office fell into silence.

"Professor Xu, I think we need to meet!"

Zakaria turned to look at the secretary waiting on the side: "Hey, Costa, book the flight back to Boston tomorrow morning now... Sorry, I was too excited, Professor Xu, do you have time at 6 PM tomorrow? I will bring the formal contract then."

"Of course, no problem."

Zakaria put down his mobile phone, his expression still a bit strange, immersed in the news just now.

On one side, the assistant had already booked the flight back to the city, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zakaria, are you okay?"

He had followed Zakaria for five years, and it was the first time he saw this boss who was always calm and composed show this complex expression, dazed, shocked, unbelievable...

So, what terrifying news did Professor Xu bring.

Zakaria came back to his senses, swallowed, and found it a bit dry. After he drank coffee, he said: "Professor Xu's superconducting thin film JC performance has a new breakthrough."

"That's a good thing."

The secretary felt relieved in his heart, this just proves that Professor Xu's project has a bright future, and the boss's situation doesn't have to be so difficult.

But this doesn't count as a surprise, why is this expression.

Zakaria's tone was a bit numb: "He said, JC reached 3.5×10⁴ A/cm², and the performance is stable."

"..."

The office fell into dead silence, and the secretary showed the same expression as Zakaria.

The next day,

In the hotel private room.

Xu Qingzhou was eating the steak in front of him calmly.

Opposite, Zakaria had a solemn expression, flipping through the report Xu Qingzhou sent. Of course, this was only partial data and did not involve too many core experiments.

"Oh! This is incredible!"

Staring dead at the data on the report, Zakaria's tone was full of excitement, occasionally letting out an exclamation.

Spending 500 million to buy superconducting thin film with JC performance of 2.2×10⁴ A/cm² is definitely a super loss-making deal, that's right, according to the performance in all aspects before.

This superconducting thin film is indeed very awesome.

The adaptability is extremely high, from nuclear fusion magnets to quantum computing, and then to medical imaging equipment, all can be used.

Even if there is a premium, it is at most between 300 million and 400 million.

But now, there is only one word: Worth it!

(J_C) 3.5×10⁴ A/cm²

(T_C) stable at 18.3K±0.1K

What a perfect structure diagram!

Let alone 500 million, even another 100 million is worth it. This is not a money problem, but as Xu Qingzhou said before, to a certain extent, you can occupy the superconducting thin film market with this patent.

Even if you can't occupy it exclusively, don't forget, they have the right to secondary authorization.

Other companies want to use it, okay, just pay money.

This is the strongest product on the market. Other companies either pay obediently or watch them occupy the market exclusively. No matter which one, undoubtedly, they will make a lot of money.

Zakaria closed the information, restrained his excitement, raised his glass and clinked with Xu Qingzhou, still incredibly surprised: "Professor Xu, it's only been a short month, how did you do it?"

This is almost equivalent to creating a miracle.

"Perhaps, my luck is better." Xu Qingzhou raised his glass.

"Luck?"

Zakaria's mouth twitched.

Doing experiments cannot rely on luck. Genius, cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.

However, he bet right!

"Professor Xu, this is the formal contract we prepared, the content is the same as the letter of intent, you can confirm it again."

Now Zakaria is more anxious than Xu Qingzhou, desperately wanting to finalize the contract.

"No problem."

Xu Qingzhou of course has no opinion. It is late April now, it is indeed time to prepare for returning to the country.

A meal was eaten quite well.

At 8 PM, Xu Qingzhou brought the contract home and handed it to Song Yao—the designated contract inspector.

Handing the document to Song Yao, he leaned over, wanting to "pop" a kiss on the girl's face, but was scared back by this girl staring at him.

If she doesn't let him kiss, then he won't kiss.

Xu Qingzhou sighed, turned around to change clothes, and drilled into the bathroom in his underpants.

Song Yao curled her lips. She drank alcohol, and her body smelled. Alcohol is something, she herself drank it with him and just felt it was okay. After all, drinking a little alcohol would have more atmosphere, and even be crazy.

Waving her hand to disperse the smell of alcohol in the air, she shifted her attention to the current contract, checking the discrepancy between it and the letter of intent one by one.
