Chapter 294 I, Xu Chuan! I Am Not Short of Money! I Am Not Interested in Money!

Mindong, Fujian Province, in the headquarters building of CATL.

A middle-aged man was sitting in his office, listening to the report of the vice president who went to Chuanhai Materials Research Institute to obtain patent authorization on his behalf.

After listening to the whole process, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said:

"Since Professor Xu has made his request, then he will do it in accordance with this request."

"Three days later, the quotation was raised from 120 million to 150 million meters of gold."

"Also, let's talk to Professor Xu. If possible, we hope to get two patent authorizations, one domestic and one international."

"The two patent licensing quotations can be increased to 320 million meters of gold."

"If that person does not allow this, then give up the international patent, but we must obtain the domestic patent authorization, even if the price is temporarily increased, as long as it does not exceed 170 million, no, it does not exceed 200 million meters."

Next to him, the vice president frowned and asked: "I know, I will set off in the afternoon. However, is the 200 million patent authorization a bit too high? After all, it is not exclusive."

The middle-aged man said: "It shouldn't be that high. The 200 million is just to ensure that 150 million should be enough to secure domestic patent authorization. Other domestic manufacturers will definitely not be able to quote such a high price. Such a high price , they prefer to obtain secondary patent authorization from other peers.”

"But we are different from other manufacturers. BYD has cars, AVIC is backed by big trees, and we are the only one that specializes in batteries. If we cannot keep up in this regard, we will be eliminated from the market in less than a year."

"But this price is a bit too high. 150 million meters of gold is more than one billion, which is close to one-third of our net profit last year. We can also choose to license the secondary patent." The vice president frowned. road.

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head and said, "It's different, just do as I say."

After a pause, he continued: "And Professor Xu is different from other businessmen. He has the qualification to be willful."

"Not only this cooperation, I care more about his future research and development. If I can gain Professor Xu's favor and get future cooperation, let alone 150 million, 200 million will be worth it."

The vice president nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave in the afternoon to see if I can contact Professor Xu in advance."

Although he still had some objections to such a high quotation, he didn't say anything else. In the Ningde era, the person in front of him had a unique right to speak.

The middle-aged man nodded. After the vice president left, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sea in the distance.

Although it paid nearly double the price, this is not an opportunity for CATL.

His intuition told him that Professor Xu's achievements in the future would definitely be far more than what he had achieved now, and he was willing to take a gamble.

If he does more research in the future, the Ningde era may be able to soar into the sky with the support of this big tree!

On the other side, Jinling.

Xu Chuan handed a cup of tea to Wu Weizhao, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "What are Wu Ting's instructions for coming here this time?"

This is the person in charge who will be specially arranged to contact him after coming here.

In the past, Qin Anguo from the Science and Technology Group had always been in contact with him. However, Qin Anguo was a leader and had many things to do, so he arranged for a special person to come over this year.

Wu Weizhao said quickly: "I don't dare to give instructions, but I really want to discuss something with Professor Xu this time."

Xu Chuan asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"The first thing is good news. Regarding the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute under your name, after discussion, the Science and Technology Commission is preparing to include the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute into the latest tax preferential policy for national support of enterprise scientific and technological innovation issued this year. Support inside the business.”

“This policy is mainly about tax exemptions and special scientific research funds allocated every year. In addition, enterprises and scientific research institutions that have entered into support and assistance can receive support from the state for their scientific research and development buildings, land use, and equipment purchases. with help.”

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Thank you for the country's love. If you need any information, Wu Ting can go to the person in charge of the research institute. What else?"

Wu Weizhao glanced at Xu Chuan cautiously, and then said: "The second thing is about the artificial SEI film you sell. We would like to discuss it with you. We hope that when you choose the patent authorized manufacturer the day after tomorrow, you will consider the three domestic manufacturers. The quota will be given to a foreign manufacturer.”

"Professor Xu, don't get me wrong. We are not trying to interfere with your affairs. We are just discussing and making suggestions. If you don't want to, that's okay."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked with some surprise: "A quota is not a big deal, but I am more curious about why foreign manufacturers are allowed to make money from our country?"

If Wu Weizhao hadn't proposed it, he would indeed have given all three domestic quotas to domestic manufacturers.

On the opposite side, Wu Weizhao quickly replied: "Catfish effect!"

"Rather than letting all domestic battery manufacturers get the three domestic quotas, we hope to introduce a foreign manufacturer to stimulate and regulate the ecological environment of the domestic lithium battery industry to a certain extent, and ensure that the price of lithium batteries remains stable. will be lifted too high.”

"If you agree, and the price quoted by a foreign manufacturer for domestic patent licensing is lower than the average price of domestic manufacturers, the state will compensate for the difference."

Wu Weizhao briefly explained to Xu Chuan that for a country, there are many things to consider.

To be honest, most domestic manufacturers and capital often do not leave a very good impression on people.

The benefits come from the beehive, but after the benefits are eaten up, they scatter like a beehive. In the end, only a messy industry and a mess will be left.

Just like the new energy vehicle industry, when the country began to support this industry in 2014, countless new energy vehicle companies, large and small, have emerged.

But the vast majority of companies obviously have no experience in building cars. Many manufacturers are just trying to defraud the subsidies and government preferential policies issued by the state.

Not only that, these manufacturers will also join forces to use various names to raise the prices of cars. Those unscrupulous manufacturers will eventually defraud a large amount of money and then run away. In the end, not only the people and the country will suffer, but they will also The entire industry is in shambles.

This year, Shanghai started negotiations with Tesla in the United States. One of the purposes of introducing Tesla cars is to solve the chaos in the new energy vehicle industry.

The introduction of a large foreign company can stimulate the vitality and attitude of domestic car-making companies to a certain extent.

After all, in the past, there was no choice and could only be consumed in a limited number of stores. However, after the introduction of foreign companies, consumers also have more choices. If the service and quality are not good and the price is still high, consumers will give up directly.

Compared with some interests, the ecological integrity and subsequent sustainable development of a certain industry are what the country needs.

Of course, the attitude of the person in front of you is also very important. If he is unwilling, there is no problem in arranging it to domestic manufacturers.

At most, they could issue more regulations or think of other ways to adjust.

However, the market economy will eventually return to freedom. It is impossible for the state to control all aspects. The government can only control the general direction.

After listening to Wu Weizhao's explanation, Xu Chuan suddenly nodded: "There is no need for compensation or anything. A quota is not a big deal. If it can be better for the country and ordinary people, these are all trivial matters."

He really didn't know much about these things, but since he said that, it wouldn't be a problem to give a quota to a foreign manufacturer.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

After chatting for a while, Wu Weizhao suddenly said: "I have already reported on Professor Xu's resignation as the general manager of the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Project" that you mentioned last time."

"However, after communication and discussion, we still hope to trouble you to serve for a while longer. At least it will not be too late to step down after the celebration banquet and commendation meeting."

"Anyway, I just put my name on it. Unless it's urgent, I won't bother you. What do you think?"

Xu Chuan nodded and agreed. Compared with the previous two things, it was just a name, which was indeed nothing.

Three days is not a long time.

When Xu Chuan came to the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute again, the battery manufacturers who had been waiting here seemed to be more honest this time.

Xu Chuan didn't want to waste too much time on these things. After finishing this, he had to go back to study the NS equation.

The "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy Project" was successfully run. In the future, he wants to work towards controllable nuclear fusion.

Through the research results of the NS equation, establishing a mathematical model for controlling ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor is the first step towards controllable nuclear fusion technology.

In addition, after the patent authorization here is completed, the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute can begin to expand.

Whether it is the subsequent development of lithium batteries or other materials, you can make an attempt and do some data accumulation work.

In the conference room, after collecting the quotations from various manufacturers, Xu Chuan briefly browsed through them and determined the patent quota for artificial SEI films.

In fact, in the past two days, these battery manufacturers have come to him and re-indicated quotations and requests to him.

Almost unanimously, these manufacturers who came to him submitted two applications to him, one for Chinese patent authorization and one for international patent authorization.

And all of them chose to buy out directly. Even if he raised the offer to 120 million meters of gold, no manufacturer still chose to share.

After briefly confirming the quotations in his hand and selecting six forms, Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Congratulations to the six manufacturers CATL, Varta, Delphi, and BYD for obtaining patent authorization."

"The specific contract signing matters will be followed up by the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute. I hope we will have a happy cooperation in the future, thank you."

In the conference room, applause broke out. The eight patents were eventually divided equally among six manufacturers, of which CATL and Varta respectively obtained dual Chinese and international patent authorizations.

If the representatives of the Ningde era were relatively calm, then the surprise on the faces of the representatives of Varta was really hard to hide.

Obtaining an international patent authorization is surprising enough in itself. I didn't expect that I could also get a Chinese patent authorization just for trying. It's really surprising.

It seems that Professor Xu is not too biased.

Of course, in the eyes of battery manufacturer representatives from Korea’s Samsung and the small island nation of Matsumoto, they don’t see it that way.

Obviously they have reported a patent licensing fee of up to 150 million, but they still have not received a patent license. At this price, few peers can offer it.

In the eyes of the battery manufacturers of Korea and the small island countries, Professor Xu has a strong prejudice against them!

After confirming the list of patent authorizations, Xu Chuan and his senior brother Fan Pengyue exchanged some information, and then left the Sichuan Hai Materials Research Institute after instructing him on some matters.

The two patent authorizations for the preparation of artificial SEI film + supporting electrolyte brought him a total of 1.03 billion yuan in fees.

Converted into RMB, there are as many as seventy small goals! The benefits brought by top scientific research are really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if it is put in the international arena, a patent licensing fee of 1 billion yuan is not a common case.

In fact, if we talk about patent fees, Qualcomm in the United States is the most famous and the most powerful.

In 2018, Qualcomm's patent licensing fee for chips alone was as high as 5.5 billion yuan, and Apple had to pay it patent fees.

Of course, this is all the patents of Qualcomm's entire chip department.

If it is a single patent, his patent authorization for artificial SEI film this time is undoubtedly top-level.

In terms of the licensing fee for a single patent, it can probably be ranked in the top 20 in the world.

In fact, there are many patents that are more valuable than artificial SEI films, especially in the field of biopharmaceuticals.

For example, the annual patent licensing fee for a common blue pill is as high as more than 2 billion dollars.

There is also Lipitor, which is used for diseases such as hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans. The 20-year patent has brought Pfizer more than 100 billion dollars in revenue.

The most valuable patents are basically concentrated in the field of medicine, which is beyond doubt.

But even so, from today on, he Xu Chuan can pretend to be a beta and say: "I, Xu Chuan! I am not short of money! I am not interested in money!"

PS: I want monthly tickets. I am not very clear about patents. I just checked the information. Climbing the technology is the right way. I will update twice tomorrow. Please give me some monthly tickets, big guys.
