Chapter 550: This is indeed a very cost-effective deal

Outside the window, the twilight is getting thicker.

Xu Qingzhou hung up the phone, leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest. Song Yao finished the game, is typing and chatting with her sisters far away in Kyoto, the two are discussing that after they go back, Ding Jiahui and Guo Ziyang will take annual leave, and the four will go traveling.

The superconducting thin film experiment is over, Ross is organizing the team to contact European equipment manufacturers...

Everything is on the right track.

As for patents, actually, there is no need to wait here with eyes wide open, just hand it over to the firm to handle. After all, the cycle for patents to come down is quite long.

That is to say, the time to return to the country is not much different from what was expected before.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart, "Two years have passed like this..."

Er Miao is walking flexibly on the cat frame, looking at the sofa from time to time. Seeing that the arms of the two-legged beasts are empty, it swings its tail and comes over here to seek a hug.

Just when Xu Qingzhou was sighing about time flying, Song Yao put down her mobile phone, Ding Jiahui arrived at the company to start a day of social animal life.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou not knowing what he was thinking, she moved her butt toward Xu Qingzhou again, leaned her body, and fell on him. In contrast, it is more comfortable to lean on Xu Qingzhou, this human-shaped hug pillow.

Er Miao let out a resentful low cry, licked its paws, and walked back.

Xu Qingzhou adjusted his posture slightly so that the girl on him could lie more comfortably.

Half an hour passed.

Xu Qingzhou opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Little girl, hugged, touched, stop while you're ahead."

This girl didn't know when she developed the habit, she likes to poke around when lying on him.

"Pfft, as if anyone wants to."

Song Yao snorted, took her hand out, paused, and continued: "Jiahui and the others said they can take annual leave in July or August, let's go traveling together."

"Hmm, four people are lively, but does that guy Guo Ziyang have time?"

Xu Qingzhou expressed doubt. Guo Ziyang is working overtime every day now, almost living in the company.

"Jiahui said no problem."

Song Yao rubbed on Xu Qingzhou.

"It's time to go out and play. Speaking of which, the four of us haven't gone out to play together. If we don't seize the time now, in a few years, with families and children, there will be even less chance."

The living room rang with a "creak" sound.

Er Miao looked up and saw that the two-legged beasts seemed to be fighting again.

Sofa.

Song Yao supported Xu Qingzhou's chest with her hands, the two were very close, she could feel the hot breath Xu Qingzhou exhaled.

Song Xiaohua's heart was beating thumping, a bit regretful for teasing this person.

"Xu Qingzhou~ I'm not feeling well today~"

"I know."

Xu Qingzhou squinted.

Touching Xu Qingzhou's meaningful gaze, Song Yao thought of some bad things, and was even more panicked, threatening with eyes wide open: "You... if you dare, I'll bite you... woo~"

The superconducting thin film field is bustling, to be accurate, it is a wail. Xu Qingzhou's side is normal, sending the patent application to Zhang Xiaohui, and he himself is pushing the finishing work step by step.

Currently, for the entire project, he only intends to write two theses.

The first one is in the direction of theoretical methods, focusing on explaining the theoretical method logic of the experiment, and the second one is the one currently being done, leaning towards the direction of technical methods.

The thesis is called "Preparation Technology of Substrate-free NBSN Thin Film Based on ALD and Graphene Substrate."

Actually, there is too much that can be written. As long as he is willing, splitting these 2 theses, at least he can get out 4 more SCI zone 1.

But this is purely a waste of time.

Carson 2, Sun Simin and Ma Ersi 1 each.

The project has a total of 5 SCI, and it is already very awesome to have such achievements in just eight months.

Song Yao's side is also in the final stage of the project. If it goes well, it can be finished in mid-June.

May 6th, Xu Qingzhou completed the first round of response to the patent review.

This means that the USPTO examiner has completed the retrieval of global patent/non-patent literature, will not conflict with other patents, and the next step is the evaluation stage, verifying the feasibility of the patent content.

On this point, Xu Qingzhou is full of confidence.

And after several days of brewing, the wind in the superconducting thin film field finally blew to the industry. Major listed companies couldn't sit still, immediately started a meeting, preparing to contact Xu Qingzhou again, discussing buying patents.

At this time, Xu Qingzhou's cooperation with GE has not been completely disclosed. Besides some companies that keep an eye on GE's dynamics, they vaguely received a little wind.

In the following days, perhaps those companies finally finished their meetings, Xu Qingzhou's peace here was broken, and the mailbox and phone kept ringing, hoping to meet, and would definitely give him a satisfactory price.

Xu Qingzhou was preparing to let Ross announce the cooperation agreement with GE, but GE was more anxious than Xu Qingzhou, directly announcing the 500 million US dollar patent acquisition case on the official website.

Announcing that they will obtain the 5-year exclusive right and secondary authorization of the substrate-free NBSN thin film preparation technology based on ALD and graphene substrate outside the Xia Nation market.

This is also conveying a message to other enterprises, do you want superconducting thin film patents, hurry up and buy them.

This day, after chatting with Carson and them about the arrangement of the thesis in the office, Xu Qingzhou also came to the research management office where Wilson is.

"Hey, good morning, Professor Xu."

Wilson poured water for Xu Qingzhou very enthusiastically.

Looking at the young face in front of him, Wilson's mood is even more complex. He dares to say that not investing in Xu Qingzhou is definitely the most stupid decision he has ever made in his life.

GE's announcement caused a huge uproar on the board of directors of MIT.

Usually speaking, if there is no signed copyright transfer agreement, MIT can get 30%-40% of the share, 150 million, which is also a huge sum of money for a top institution like MIT.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu. You are now a hot figure in the condensed matter field."

Wilson's tone was complex, and at the same time, he admired him incomparably.

This young man used the most dilapidated laboratory to make the most excellent experiment.

Sometimes, he wasn't that depressed.

Because he wasn't the only one who misjudged.

When Xu Qingzhou established the research group at the beginning, there were a lot of cold sarcasm, and even the entire project was rated as the "least reliable project." Who could have thought there would be today.

"Thank you, especially your support for me at the beginning."

Xu Qingzhou thanked him sincerely.

If it weren't for Wilson lending the laboratory for free, and also generously signing the patent transfer agreement, this experiment couldn't have been done.

"You are polite."

Xu Qingzhou didn't beat around the bush, pondered: "Very grateful for MIT's support for my experiment. To express gratitude, besides the 1% advance payment fee, I am willing to take out another 10 million as academic funds to donate to the school."

Fine water flows long, maybe there will be cooperation in other aspects in the future.

"Oh, Professor Xu, I represent all teachers and students of MIT to thank you for your contribution to scientific research!" Wilson reached out and said solemnly.

Xu Qingzhou said sincerely, "It is I who should thank MIT; I have learned many things at this great school."

"Professor Xu, although I know the hope is slim, I still want to ask, have you considered staying at MIT? If you nod, I guarantee, the school will build the most advanced laboratory in the world for you."

"Very grateful for your invitation, but... you know, I have no intention of developing abroad."

Xu Qingzhou answered helplessly.

Wilson paused, but still said: "Xia Nation has made progress in scientific research over the years, but you know what I want to say, academic atmosphere, talent, etc., these things cannot be made up for in a short time. You need a better platform."

"But there will always be progress, right?"

"..."

Wilson looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly thought of the sentence Xu Qingzhou said when he left the office last time: "Later you will find that this will be a quite cost-effective deal."

Now, it has become a reality.
