I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 455 Milk powder money

When an enterprise purchases the inventor's patent development rights, and encounters technical difficulties in the process of technology transformation, the enterprise will often turn to the inventor for help. After all, the inventor is the most familiar with the patent.

Kwong Dong's material company has its own technical team, they digested and absorbed the first patented achievement of Shen Qi's team, and produced a trial product.

In the process of technology transformation, Kuang Dong's technical team did not ask the inventor team for help, which shows that the technical team of this material company is not bad.

The problem Kwong Dong is facing now is not a technical problem, but a market sale.

Amorphous materials, especially metal and plastic products, belong to the blue ocean market in China, and the first person to eat crabs will always bear certain risks.

"Dong Kuang, based on our first patent, what specific product do you produce?"

In terms of market sales, Shen Qi can't help much, this is not his professional specialty, but he still wants to know more about the market.

"Non-functional automotive metal parts, such as internal and external metal trim, floor parts of the lower body, reinforcement ribs, etc. Because metal plastics are light, but have metal strength, some plastic parts can also be replaced by metal plastics." Kuang Dong said arrive.

"Oh, that's quite a lot." Shen Qi still knows a lot about cars. It is a traditional fuel car OEM. Except for the engine, as well as the four doors and two covers, side panels, and roofs, these large body parts are made by ourselves. Other parts Basically, they are looking for suppliers to order.

The volume of China's passenger car market exceeds 3000 million vehicles per year, making it the largest car market in the world. For every complete vehicle produced, OEMs need to find more than [-] suppliers to order four tires, two rows of seats, and at least six The automobile industry is a huge industry and a pillar industry of a country.

Becoming a parts supplier to an automaker is a very fat market, and of course the competition is fierce.

The problem that Mr. Kuang faced was that because the metal-plastic auto parts produced by his company were new concepts and products, although they had many excellent performances, mainstream domestic automakers did not consider their products at all.

Regardless of whether it is a joint venture or an independent mainstream car brand, if it has survived until today and has not collapsed, it has a very mature supplier supporting system.

It is not easy for Kuang Dong, a new company producing new products, to get a piece of the mature supplier supporting system.

"Let's wait for a few more years. It is the general trend to reduce fuel consumption and reduce the weight of cars. Our patents will have a market in the future." Shen Qi comforted Chairman Kuang and himself.

"Volkswagen, Toyota, and several major independent brands, these traditional car companies are very stubborn. I think I chose the wrong direction at first. It is very difficult to do business with traditional car companies. We should develop in-depth cooperation with new car manufacturers. Cooperation." Kuang Dong talked about his thoughts.

A few years ago, a bunch of new car-making forces emerged in the Chinese auto market. None of their bosses had experience in the auto industry, and almost all of them were network platform operators and IT bosses.

The new car-making forces claim that they do not produce fuel vehicles, they only produce new energy vehicles similar to Tesla.

The new car-making forces make global speeches in the form of PPT to promote their car-making concepts, but few actually open factories to manufacture the awesome new energy vehicles shown in their PPT.

Regardless of whether it is a traditional fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle, there must be a production line.Therefore, the new car-making forces that only promote great ideas are dubbed "PPT car-making" by the outside world.

"The new car-making force doesn't even have a production line, so I'm afraid it won't work." Shen Qi doubted it.

Director Kuang said: "Some new car-making forces are still reliable, such as Weihan Automobile, they have established a new energy vehicle production line, mainly producing electric vehicles. But unfortunately, the boss of Weihan Automobile has run away. A new energy vehicle company's capital chain is broken and it is facing bankruptcy."

The boss of Weihan Automobile was originally an electrical appliance manufacturer, but later upgraded to an e-commerce company, and then entered the automobile industry and established Weihan Automobile Company, which has become a new force in car manufacturing.

Not long ago, the owner of Weihan Automobile was found to have financial problems. He could not take care of his wife and children, so he ran away to the United States alone.

"So?" Shen Qi asked.

Director Kwong: "So I am going to make a suggestion to the family to acquire Weihan Motor Company."

Shen Qi was surprised: "In order to find a buyer for your auto parts, why don't you just buy a car company yourself?"

Director Kwong laughed and said, "It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."

"It's good to have money." Shen Qi had to accept that even if he bought a car company that was about to go bankrupt, it would not be possible without at least a billion yuan. It is not difficult to set up a car factory, but the difficulty is to obtain the permit.Weihan Automobile Company has an access certificate, so the cost of acquiring them will not be very low. It may be billions, billions or tens of billions, depending on how the two parties negotiate.

"No, I am very optimistic about new energy vehicles. Many countries in Europe have completely banned the sale of fuel vehicles, and China will do the same. This is for sure. The country has issued a plan to completely ban the sale of fuel vehicles during the [-]th Five-Year Plan period. Therefore, new energy vehicles are the future, and traditional fuel vehicles will eventually be eliminated. I just took this opportunity to enter the new energy vehicle industry and follow the trend of the times.” It turned out that Kuang Dong spent tens of millions of dollars to buy patents just to test the water, new energy vehicles This huge cake is his ultimate goal.

"If it is an electric vehicle, the fuel engine is no longer important. The drive system of the electric vehicle is three electrics, battery, motor, and electronic control. If it is a hydrogen fuel vehicle or other types of new energy vehicles, further research is needed. "Shen Qi suddenly discovered that batteries, hydrogen fuel, and other types of new energy drive systems are very compatible with his major, condensed matter physics + chemistry, isn't that what he studies.

"Academician Shen, can we maintain a long-term cooperative relationship?" Kuang Dong asked sincerely.

Shen Qi smiled: "Haven't we been cooperating?"

"Thank you, happy cooperation." Kuang Dong shook hands with Shen Qi.

The interview with Mr. Kuang this time is still meaningful, at least Shen Qi feels at ease, Mr. Kwong is a man of action, not a pure businessman who is speculative.

The 4000 million milk powder money for the second patent was soon in place. Shen Qi followed the routine and handed over 2000 million to the Yanda school, and the school returned 1000 million to the FASTER project team as a supplementary research fund.

The other 2000 million yuan was allocated by Shen Qi within the FASTER project team according to the process of meritorious deeds and rewards.

In one year, with two patents, several millionaires emerged from the FASTER project team.

Tang Yuan is going to buy a second house in his hometown in a third-tier city. He doesn't plan to buy a house in the capital in the near future. Anyway, there is a school staff house, so let's live in it first.

Yang Dingtian saved some money, and his family gave several million more, urging Yang Dingtian to buy a house in the capital and marry a wife as soon as possible.

Other members of the FASTER project team have also received a lot of rewards. Now, among the physics researchers in the FASTER project team, no one is willing to do theoretical research.

Follow Academician Shen to make applications and cooperate with rich and powerful enterprises to produce results quickly and make money.

The scientific research performance is counted after the results are produced, the school allocates houses, and outsiders can buy houses for investment.

Published articles on PRL and "Physics Today", gaining prestige, and the popularity in the industry has increased significantly.

Fame and fortune are just around the corner, and the sweetness is constantly being tasted. Who is willing to endure loneliness, do boring theoretical research all day long, and receive a fixed salary that will not starve to death?

Shen Qi took more than 700 million this time, and he felt that due to his contribution, he was entitled to 1/3 of the transfer fee.

To become a father, all dads have a sense of crisis, more money is not hot, save one counts.

In fact, Shen Qi also saw it. Some of his researchers bought cars and houses in a short period of time, while others still received a dead salary and had no extra money to earn.

Everyone is a Ph.D., and the material gap is gradually widening. Those Ph.D.s who engage in pure theoretical research have no idea in their hearts?
He must have an idea. At this time, Shen Qi's management skills need to be tested.
