International students returning to 90

George came anxiously and went back dazed.Originally, he asked Lin Yilai for countermeasures, but now he asked the factory for him?

After leaving the new energy center, his head was blown by the cold wind, and he became a little more sober. If Lin Yi can really reduce the cost of YBCO strips, it will be a good thing for Enteji.

After all, Simpson Labs owns 40.00% of the shares of Entergy. As an employee of Simpson Labs, Lin Yi will never harm his own interests.

This is also a win-win in another sense.

"Mr. Jim, yes, it's me, George. Yes, I understand your difficulties. Of course, we are friends, aren't we? I want you to come out and talk about the future of YBCO. Okay, see you tomorrow." .”

There are not many chemical factories in the United States that have YBCO production technology. George’s execution ability is very strong. In less than a month, he has almost figured out the situation and made preliminary negotiations with these manufacturers. Lin Yi really thinks that he is a businessman delayed by technical work. talent.

"It's hard to talk about..." George said with a wry smile, "YBCO is a chemical finishing product. There are not many chemical factories with this technology. I have made preliminary negotiations with them. For factories, this is an opportunity to expand business types and even transform in the future.”

"Especially after the news of the superconducting cable came out, they believed that YBCO could turn around, and they refused to sell it no matter what."

"Not for sale? I remember that the YBCO preparation technology has not applied for a patent."

Not long after the discovery of the second-generation yttrium-based high-temperature superconducting tape, the inventor at that time directly published the preparation technology of YBCO as the content of the paper, and did not apply for a patent.

George froze for a moment, "It seems... yes."

"So what I want is actually that production line." Lin Yi stood up and made a cup of coffee for George.

Even without applying for a patent, it is not easy to obtain the production method from an academic paper. This requires the factory to have a high level of scientific research and technology. This is why there are so many chemical factories in the United States, but only a few can produce YBCO.

But the person sitting in front of him was Lin Yi, the inventor of the superconducting cable, and George had no doubts about his level of scientific research and technology.

"If it's just a production line, then things will be much easier. If you are not convenient to come forward, I can do it for you."

"But..." Lin Yi touched his nose, "There is another biggest problem, I have no money."

How much does an advanced chemical production line cost?Where did Lin Yi, a "salary worker", get the money?

George's eyes widened. He thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that Lin Yi's answer would be this, no money?

No money!

What production line do you buy without money?If those vampires can sacrifice and contribute to the development of the energy industry, stop dreaming, the interests of American businessmen come first, and if the US authorities hurt their interests, they can even pull down the president.

If you don't see US dollars, let alone the production line, you won't even give a single screw to you.

"Mr. Lin...you really know how to make fun of me." Although George still had a smile on his face, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

For a whole month, he ran around talking nicely to people, but in the end it was just an unrealistic joke. If he hadn't cultivated himself well and still held such respect for Lin Yi, he would have just thrown the table and left.

"George, my friend, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to make fun of you. As you said, there are undoubtedly two reasons why they don't want to sell the production line. First, YBCO's production technology is scarce. It is regarded as a growth point of future business; two, superconducting cables."

"But what if they find that their technology is outdated and needs to be eliminated, and the manufacturers of superconducting cables will never cooperate with them?"

"It's impossible..." George frowned and said, "Because of capacity constraints, even if all the YBCO products in the United States can't meet the demand for superconducting cable production, we can't just cooperate with one company."

As for technology backwardness or even elimination, George said that until now, the top seed infiltration growth method (TSIG) is still an effective method for preparing large-scale single-domain YBCO superconducting bulk materials, which is not one of them.

unless……

"You have a new method for preparing YBCO materials?!"

Thinking of this possibility, George jumped up, "Is there really?"

"The traditional TSIG method needs to prepare three kinds of powders: Y2BaCuO5 (Y211), YBa2Cu3Oy (Y123), and BaCuO2. Not only is the process complicated, time-consuming, labor-intensive, energy-consuming and polluting, but also the biggest defect is that the content of Y211 particles in the sample cannot be controlled. This is The product has serious problems such as easy shrinkage and deformation of the sample, which are the main reasons.”

"I noticed this problem when I was doing research on superconducting cables. After several experiments, I improved the YBCO preparation method. After adopting the new TSIG method, the growth rate of YBCO superconducting bulk materials reached 1.7 times that of the traditional method. Magnetic levitation The force is more than 65% higher than that of the sample prepared by the traditional method, and the average particle size of Y211 particles in the sample is about 1 μm, which is significantly smaller than the 3.4 μm of the sample prepared by the traditional TSIG method.”

"1.7 times?!"

"Yes."

George sucked in a breath of cold air, and sat on the chair for a long time, unable to recover.

Lin Yi didn't bother him, but went straight to the laboratory, took out a black cylindrical object and placed it in front of George.

"The growth rate can only be seen in practice, but the magnetic levitation force and the average particle size of Y211 particles can be proved by sample analysis. I think they will be interested in this."

George snapped back to his senses, staring at the black thing in front of him with a hint of metallic luster, his eyes were so gentle that water dripped out.

"Yes, you're right, they'd be interested in talking to me again," he murmured.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself down, "What about the cooperation method? Let them use the production line to buy shares?"

"Very good idea, Mr. George. I have a lot of samples here, and you can take them away. The improved new method is cheaper and more efficient than the traditional TSIG method. If there is no production capacity limit in foreign countries, It can be exclusively supplied." Lin Yi said with a smile.

George looked up and looked at the young scientist carefully. Only then did he understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words when talking about cooperation that day. He was really sincere to Anteji.

Although Lin Yi didn't say it clearly, George understood.

In a word, agree to make money together.If you disagree, I'm sorry, but your production technology has fallen behind, and Entergy, the sole manufacturer of superconducting cables, will never cooperate with you.

In other words, among the factories with YBCO production technology, only the one that cooperates with Lin Yi can survive.

One peach kills three officials, this is to let them fight to the death and fight to cooperate with Lin Yi.

"Do you have a target number?" George can already imagine the coming bloodbath, how much shares a production line can occupy, and he needs Lin Yi to give him an accurate number.

"20.00%, for Americans, this kind of production line is worthless." Lin Yi shrugged, "If Mr. George can negotiate a lower price, I can return the extra part to Entergy in the form of rebates. Of course, how to get the money from Anteji depends on your ability, Mr. George."

George's eyes flickered, and he took a deep look at Lin Yi.

"Mr. Lin, if I hadn't seen your scientific research ability, I really couldn't believe that you are a scientist."

"To each other, Mr. George, if you don't have the title of Technical Director of Entergy, I can't believe that you are actually a technician."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Then... happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

George went out whistling, imagining those old friends who had rejected him with a smirk two days ago, turning around and begging him, and he suddenly felt that being a businessman was not so annoying.

Lin Yi sent George out, and when he came back, he saw Zhuang Cheng standing at the door of his office.

"Zhuangcheng, why are you here?" After returning from New York, Zhuangcheng stayed in Berkeley for another week to confirm that Lin Yi was really healthy before returning to Stanford.

"I'm going back to China the day after tomorrow, so I'll tell you."

"Return to the country? Will you come back again?" It's already May, and counting the days, Zhuang Cheng's return to the country in his previous life will only happen in the next two months.

"Of course, I still have several projects on hand. This time I went back, mainly for family matters. My parents' divorce was known by both families, and now there is a lot of trouble, so I called and asked me to go back. .”

The divorce of his parents was the main reason for Zhuang Cheng to return to China, but there was another reason he didn't say, because he felt that he needed to clean up his feelings.

Berkeley and Stanford are too close, and he has no way to clean up his abnormal emotions.After returning home, across the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean, he may be more rational.

For example, it won't be like just now, when someone just asked a question, he would say everything. This...is not normal.

"Then... I'll wait for you to come back." When Lin Yi heard the affirmative answer, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, probably in a foreign country, and he felt more secure with his compatriots by his side.

Hearing this, Zhuang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he clenched his fists, and said with a soft smile, "Okay, we'll get in touch when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Lin Yi, "Then I'll go first, you are busy." A little polite and a little alienated.

Lin Yi frowned unconsciously, he scratched his head, "I'll see you off, you came from Stanford, did you drive, or take my car back? Anyway, you go to the airport the day after tomorrow, and I will take that flight I'll take you off, and I'll drive the car back when the time comes."

He didn't like Zhuang Cheng's polite and distant tone.Who was it at that time, crying and shouting to be friends with him, oh, the injury is healed, and I don’t feel guilty anymore, this life-saving grace doesn’t count.

You're welcome, you're welcome ghost!
