Chapter 573 Behind the Light Is Dirty and Dark

Barbara said: "The scale of this research team is not large. There are only three researchers. It is named after the main researcher, the chemist Ham Clough, and it is called the Ham Solid State Lithium Battery Research Institute."

The entire team, including three researchers, plus seven or eight staff members, only had a dozen or so people in total.

"A previous patent, plus the subsequent two phases, that is, 5000 weeks of research costs, roughly needs 80.00 million to [-] million pounds. If a new research breakthrough is obtained during this period, the investor owns [-]% patent ownership."

The proportion of patent ownership is related to the distribution of later benefits, which is a very important clause.

This is the result of Barbara's discussions with the research team in advance. She did not wait for Boss Wu's approval before negotiating. The time is very urgent and needs to be compressed. The boss does not agree to pull it down, but if he agrees, the contract can be signed immediately.

Wu Qian originally thought that this kind of scientific research would be a big project starting at tens of billions of dollars every minute. He heard that it was only [-] to [-] million pounds, which was trivial and completely acceptable.

It is good to be successful, but if you fail, it is like asking for directions, and it can be regarded as the ticket and tuition to enter the high-tech field.

The scale of scientific research institutions is not necessarily very large. For example, the BMW Group has invested 100 billion euros in the field of solid-state lithium batteries, and dozens of research institutions, large and small, have provided scientific research results for them.

The same is true for groups such as Toyota, LG, and Samsung.

The investment layout of a large group is intricate. There are many institutions under its name. It is common to cross borders and continents. A research studio may be divided up by several companies at the same time.

"Barbara, you can go to Fimiller to sign a contract with this scientific research team in the name of an investment company. Such research institutions can invest in several more research institutions, and brainstorm and exchange ideas, and the results may be faster."

Barbara was very excited when she heard Wu Qian's words. She naturally considered this situation, but she was worried that the boss would have scruples about investors, so she didn't bring it up. I didn't expect that Boss Wu would tell her the idea first.

Scientific research must never be done behind closed doors. A person's thinking is limited, and the exchange of ideas is often the result of "one plus one is greater than two".

Sometimes even after spending hundreds of millions of dollars in experiments, no conclusion can be drawn, but if you have the right to use a certain patent from another research laboratory, you can break the shackles and solve the problem in an instant.

Cooperation is the prerequisite for promoting scientific and technological progress. Unfortunately, almost no institution will release its research results to the public selflessly, so capitalists can only spend a lot of money to acquire more scientific research institutions.

"Okay, boss, I will discuss this matter with Ham Clough."

When Barbara was in contact with the Ham scientific research institute, she also mentioned this issue. Ham Clough was very eager for the two scientific research patents from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, but unfortunately he had no money. If he could bring in In his own experiments, it is estimated that there will be further breakthroughs.

Barbara didn't report these things to Boss Wu one by one. The boss only needs to see the results, then invest the money, and then make money. As for the process, the boss doesn't need to worry about it.

"By the way, Barbara, I remembered something. Where is the laboratory of this Ham research institution?"

Wu Qian asked.

At this moment, the door of the bathroom was opened, and the sound of roaring music entered the bathroom at once. A drunken man who shook his head walked into the bathroom. When he saw Wu Qian and three big men in black staring at him, he was shocked. one jump.

"Damn it, isn't this the boss at deck 001? No wonder the deck stopped, so I called here..."

He smiled awkwardly, pointed to the urinal, and said, "Guys, I'm going to...go to the toilet...Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom opposite."

The man who came in was really uncomfortable being stared at by Kukes and the others. He thought of some horrible rumors, so he quickly slipped away. Take a look, as if waiting for something.

Barbara heard the boss's question and said, "Ham Clough is a professor of chemistry at Oxford University. He occasionally gives lectures at the university, so he rented a laboratory in the university."

Wu Qian thought for a while, and said: "Barbara, when you signed the contract, you made a request to move the laboratory to Leeds Castle under my name. There is a three-story building for servants. The place is very good." It is large, and it is suitable for researchers to use as a laboratory."

"In addition, you arrange security forces, remember, you must not be sloppy in this regard!"

If it was placed in front of Wu more than a month ago, he would never have considered it like this.

After a period of growth, Wu Qian saw one thing clearly. Behind the glamorous capital is full of filth and darkness. He can't guarantee that the Ham scientific research institution will not be targeted by others after he invests.

Patented technology is eye-catching, and it's okay to buy it in a fair manner, but sometimes things are hard to say.

It's always good to be on the safe side!

Barbara really didn't think about that aspect, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded.

"Okay, go ahead and call me when I need to sign. If you can't reach me, you can contact Rosalind or Cooks."

After Wu Qian hung up the phone, he immediately called Fei Miller and told him about the incident just now.

It wasn't that he doubted Barbara's loyalty, but that he was worried that Barbara would make mistakes in handling a series of things, so he told Fimiler to pay attention.

After making the phone call, Wu Qian patted his face in the mirror, then straightened his clothes, and said, "You three, just now belonged to 'do not save', you are not righteous!"

With an innocent face, David quickly explained that he wanted to stop those beauties, but it was a pity that Bauer stopped him, so...

Cooks and Ball smiled badly and kept silent, leaving David to explain. Didn't you hear the boss say "dishonesty"?Didn't say "incompetent", idiot...

Of course Wu Qian didn't care about these things, just play, it doesn't matter.

A few people walked out of the bathroom together, and immediately a beautiful woman lingering outside the door stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Wu Qian walked straight towards the booth, and he ignored and filtered out the chatter such as "Handsome guy, let's get to know each other" and "Handsome guy, let's make friends" wafting in his ears.

Wu Qian wasn't pretending to be cold. He glanced at the beauties who struck up a conversation. All of them had high-tech faces. They looked a bit unappetizing. They were really not as good as the loli carefully arranged by his friends...

Cooks and others saw that the boss was not interested in these flying wild butterflies, so they blocked them one by one. So, it's not that they don't do things, but they are just doing things according to the situation.

Back at the booth, the lolis gathered in the booth and played bar games. You had a glass, she had a glass. Some of them seemed to drink too much, and their faces were red.
