Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1173 Liquidated damages of $400

When the professor said this, he turned his head and glanced around the classroom, and said with a serious expression: "Students, I hope you can abide by the bet, copy your textbooks, and hand them over to me for inspection after copying. If anyone fails to complete the task, I will Deduct all his credits as punishment."

Credits are very important for a college student. Without credits, there is no way to graduate, not even a diploma.

After seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's incredible performance with their own eyes, the students were completely convinced after being shocked, and many of them still secretly regretted: Why was I so impulsive just now?Since Niu Xiaoqiang is famous, there must be a reason for it. If his name is not worthy of his name, why do those professors praise him so much and spoil him?Compared with his profound knowledge, I feel like a naive elementary school student.

After Professor Bona finished his speech, Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and proposed a condition for exemption from punishment: "Everyone should still remember the purpose of my coming here today? I can give everyone a chance to avoid punishment, as long as anyone knows laser Welding skills, and willing to help me, I can make an exception and prevent him from copying textbooks, I am the party to the bet, I think I have the right to immunity, everyone thinks, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang can indeed prevent someone from accepting punishment. As he said, he is the person involved and he has the right to do so.

Niu Xiaoqiang will think farther than others in everything he does. The reason why he bet so arrogantly with these students just now is not only to silence the people's mouths, but also to recruit the talents he needs, which is killing two birds with one stone. .

After hearing this, the students in the classroom turned their heads and looked around. According to Niu Xiaoqiang's observation, most of these students turned their eyes to a male student wearing glasses.If there is no accident, this male student should be a master in laser welding technology, but I don't know if he has signed any agreements with other companies.

Under everyone's gaze, the male student's expression was a little serious.He seemed to be weighing something, but he never spoke.

Niu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to say: "Student, you should know laser welding technology?"

Hearing Niu Xiaoqiang's question, the male student wearing glasses spoke up: "Well, I do know the technology in this area."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "Have you accepted any scientific research sponsorship from any company?"

The other party nodded: "I accept the sponsorship of Box Company."

Niu Xiaoqiang has never heard of the name of Box Company, but since the other party has gone to MIT to sponsor, it shows that the background of this company must be very complicated. If there is no accident, this company should be a giant. Subsidiaries under.

After pondering for a moment, Niu Xiaoqiang asked other students for confirmation: "Is this student good at laser welding?"

Immediately someone replied: "Bourne's laser welding technology is very powerful. He once participated in the Challenger project as an intern and helped the space agency weld equipment."

Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up and he made up his mind.He waved to Byrne: "If you don't mind, let's go outside and talk."

Bourne was completely shocked by Niu Xiaoqiang's heaven-defying performance just now, and subconsciously chose to obey Niu Xiaoqiang's words.He hummed and followed Niu Xiaoqiang to the corridor.

Niu Xiaoqiang directly asked such a question: "Student Bourne, what is the liquidated damages for the agreement you signed with Box Company?"

After some thinking, Niu Xiaoqiang felt that instead of finding a half-baked student to help him, it would be better to find a powerful person to help him.This can save a lot of research and development costs, because the masters themselves have high-end technology, which can be used directly, without the need to start research from scratch.

Of course, masters are very popular, and they are the objects that many big companies strive for.Niu Xiaoqiang wants to recruit the other party without paying any price, which is very unrealistic.

If the price he paid was within his tolerance, he decided to pay the corresponding price to steal the talent.If the price exceeds his expectation, he can only find someone again.

Bourne knew what Niu Xiaoqiang was up to as soon as he heard it, and out of respect for Niu Xiaoqiang, a man who is against the sky, he didn't dislike Niu Xiaoqiang's solicitation, and he only heard him tell the truth: "The liquidated damages is 400 million US dollars. "

This figure is nothing for a large company, but for a student of Berne, it is an astronomical figure.Box Company obviously seriously considered Bourne's economic strength, and only then did it formulate the amount of liquidated damages.Once Bourne defaulted on the contract, even if he was killed, he would not be paid the money.

This is because Bourne is only a student, and Box Company may not pay much attention to him. If he is replaced by a professor, the amount of liquidated damages may exceed 1000 million US dollars.

400 million US dollars is not a small figure for Niu Xiaoqiang, and so much money is only equivalent to purchasing the technology of laser welding, which is a bit high.

Although he received a deposit of 5000 million US dollars from Rocky some time ago, there are many places where he needs to spend money.Take the automated automobile production line as an example. Due to the need to use many high-end spare parts, the cost of a production line is at least 4000 to [-] million US dollars, which is the most conservative estimate.

Some people may think that this number is a bit inflated, but if you know the market retail price of a line of this type, you will not think so.

Take Ford as an example. They are experts in this field. If other car companies want to buy a car production line from them, the starting price is [-] million US dollars, and the most high-end production line needs nearly [-] billion US dollars.Whether you like to buy it or not, Ford will not bargain with you at all.

That is to say, the profit of an automobile production line is more than ten times the manufacturing cost. It can be seen that the more high-end the field, the more money it makes, and the speed is faster than the money printing machine.

In order not to let himself suffer, Niu Xiaoqiang asked, "Student Bourne, if I want you to help me develop laser welding equipment for automobile assembly, do you think you can do it?"

Bourne nodded: "This is not too difficult, as long as I am given sufficient research and development funds and a matching high-end experimental environment, I can do it."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "How long do you think it will take you to complete the research and development work?"

Bourne thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied: "If it is conservatively estimated, it will take at most half a year to develop it, and if it is boldly estimated, it may be enough in three or four months."
