Chapter 67 67 [MacArthur Genius Award]

"Why, doesn't the school want our lawyers to participate in the negotiation?" Seeing that Gablehouse's expression froze, Xiang Nan immediately directed the first army to him with a smile.

"No, no, of course not." Gablehouse waved his hand and said, "It's just that the technology involved in this negotiation is really sensitive. I'm worried that too many people will be involved, which will lead to leaks."

"No. She is Priya, my sister. He is Edward, Howie's cousin. He is Jupiter, Leslie's ex-boyfriend." Xiang Nan introduced, "We trust each other."

Howard and Leslie also nodded in agreement.

"Okay then." Gablehouse heard him say this, he had nothing to say, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's noon now, you guys go to the restaurant for dinner first. We'll talk formally in the afternoon."

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and others were invited to the restaurant for dinner.

And Gablehouse took this opportunity to hurry up and report to Principal Seibert.

Hearing that Xiang Nan and others actually came to a lawyer to negotiate, Seybot couldn't help but feel dizzy with anger.

If there is a lawyer involved in the negotiation process, then the school will never take advantage of it.

"How did they become so smart." Seibert couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Can't you separate them?"

"They are basically relatives, I can't put sand in them." Gablehouse said helplessly.

Add sand between lawyers and clients to make them feud.Suspicion is indeed a common skill at the negotiating table.

But the key point is that these three lawyers have an unusual relationship with Xiang Nan and others.A close relative, a cousin, and an ex-boyfriend are all very close relationships.How else can this make the alienation meter? !

"This is troublesome." Saibot frowned when he heard this.

"Headmaster, it seems that they are well prepared." Gablehouse advised, "In my opinion, let's talk in a proper manner. Anyway, it is our best interest."

Seibert considered for a long time, and finally decided to adopt Gablehouse's suggestion.

Xiang Nan and others first hid research materials and prototypes, and then invited a lawyer to help negotiate. Obviously, they were prepared in advance.The object of their defense is the school.

Under the strict guard of others, the success rate of conspiracy and tricks can be imagined.Once it fails, it angers the other party, and finally falls apart, and the biggest loss is the school.

So Gablehouse makes sense, and negotiation is fine.In any case, three-quarters of the patent rights belong to the school, and the school has always been the biggest profiter.

……

After eating in the afternoon, Caltech's Internal Affairs Office officially started negotiations with Xiang Nan and other seven people to discuss a series of matters such as the ownership, development, management and control of the quantum navigation system.

At the negotiating table, both sides have leverage.

The bargaining chip of Xiang Nan and others is that they are currently the only team in the world that has successfully developed a quantum navigation system, with a complete set of research and development materials, design theories, and a successfully operating prototype.

The school's bargaining chip is the contract signed by Xiang Nan and others.The contract stipulates that as long as all patents are within the contract period, the school shall enjoy 70.00% five ownership.

Therefore, it is impossible for the school to get rid of Xiang Nan and others alone.Likewise, it is impossible for Xiang Nan and others to get rid of the school and go it alone.

In this case, cooperation becomes the only option.

Therefore, the willingness of the negotiating parties is still relatively strong, but the struggle for power distribution is still fierce.

The school hopes to be able to control the development and application of the project.In order to prevent themselves from being kicked out, Xiang Nan and others also hope to control the development and application of the project.

The two sides have launched fierce negotiations on this, where every inch of land will be contested.

……

Just as the two sides were busy negotiating, the annual MacArthur Genius Awards list was released.

Xiang Nan won this award for his outstanding contributions in astrophysics and particle physics.

Once the news was announced, Xiang Nan was surprised.

On the one hand, the MacArthur Genius Award only selects ten outstanding people who have made outstanding contributions in professional fields every year, covering many fields such as art, biology, literature, mathematics, physics, economics and computers.

The United States is full of talents, and there are more than [-] Nobel Prize winners alone.Therefore, from so many talents, to screen out ten outstanding ones, the gold content is extremely high.

It can be said that Xiang Nan was able to win this award, and it can be said to be famous, even more honorable than the previous university science award.

On the one hand, the reason why he won this award was originally due to the school's nomination.Because they are negotiating with the school now, the two sides are fighting like black-eyed chickens.Xiang Nan thought that this award would no longer have his share.

Unexpectedly, there will be another village in the dark and bright.The award finally fell into his hands.For a time, it really surprised him.

"MacArthur Genius Award?! It's so enviable." Howard couldn't help but envy to death when he heard the news.

To win this award, being famous or not, the key is that there is a prize of 50 US dollars.Although less than $30 is left after paying taxes, it is still a huge sum of money.

"Don't be envious." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "As far as I know, those who have won the MacArthur Genius Award have the right to nominate candidates for the next term."

When Howard heard it, he was stunned for a moment, then delighted, "Really?! You will definitely nominate me, right?"

"Of course, otherwise I can nominate someone else." Xiang Nan smiled, "With my nomination and this quantum navigation system, I think your probability of winning is quite high."

"Thank you~" Howard said gratefully.

Xiang Nan is really a buddy, and he can think of himself if there is any benefit.

……

Xiang Nan won the MacArthur Genius Award, and the news caused another sensation.

Not only Caltech was excited about this, but Raj's hometown of India was equally excited and hyped.

"Son of India wins MacArthur Genius Award!"

"Light of India, Dr. Kusapali, another genius award!"

"True genius, pride of India, Dr. Kusapali!"

Such a series of reports once again brought supreme glory to the Kusapali family.

Xidekusapali and his wife called Xiang Nan again and praised repeatedly, "Rajesh, my good son, you have done a great job."

"Rajesh, MAMA is proud of you! MAMA knew you were a genius when she was pregnant with you, but now it is not what I expected." Mrs. Kusapali also said happily.

"Thank you PAPA, thank you MAMA." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Rajesh, what you want to buy, PAPA will buy it for you!" Dr. Kusapali said excitedly again.

Before, he thought Raj was useless. He was already working, but he only earned a small salary, and he had to rely on his family to support him.

But now, he is proud of his son, and is eager to spend more for him.

"Thank you PAPA, I don't need anything, you don't need to buy anything for me." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you have to buy it, buy me a beautiful necklace for MAMA. I'm busy with work and can't When you go back, you can help me give her a present."

"Oh, Rajesh." When Mrs. Kusapali heard this, she was immediately moved.

"Oh, my good son." Dr. Kusapali was equally happy, and he was really relieved that his son cared about them so much and had such a sweet mouth.
