Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“Meet? ”

In a cafeteria in Philadelphia, holding an ark with a cell phone, he was slightly stunned when he heard the words of Wolf.

Wolfe was helpless: "Yes, I helped you push the price to $10 million, and they agreed to my offer. But he said he couldn't entrust the future of his team to a boss he hadn't even met and insisted on meeting you before signing the contract. Why don't I... arrange for him to come? ”

Honestly, for that guy's reasons, Wolfe had no other idea than to roll his eyes.

Don't talk about the future of any team. There is no future for research teams without funding. I was afraid that the researchers in his team would have to replace the boss and make up for two months' salary arrears.

The ark thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll go over there. I just had to see what the equipment was like over there. ”

Wolfe laughed and said, "Okay, if you want to come in person, it's best. ”

Experimental equipment is not allowed to be slightly so-so. For the sake of safety, the Ark decided to go and see for itself.

Instead of the researchers themselves, the equipment was what he really needed.

In high-tech places like Silicon Valley, the annual salary of 100,000 dollars to hire a doctor to make carbon nanomaterials, organic synthesis direction is more than enough, and a few laboratory assistants and interns are hired to do it. Even if a research team pulls it out, at best it is a question of unfamiliarity and inconvenience.

Equipment is different, however, with millions or even tens of millions of dollars invested.

Needless to say, a slightly better SEM scanning lens would cost millions of dollars. For example, the CVD vacuum tube furnace for the preparation of carbon nanotubes and the vacuum arc chamber commonly used for the preparation of fullerene materials were equipped with a complete set of instruments, with a maximum of $20 million being barely sufficient.

In the interest of cost savings, it was agreed to purchase new instruments from the instrument factory and there was absolutely no cost of acquiring an off-the-shelf research institute.

At no extraordinarily high cost, he would have access to a range of inexpensive second-hand equipment, which was undoubtedly much more reliable than second-hand equipment that had been phased out by other research institutions or had come from unknown destinations.

Not only that, he also has access to a group of "skilled workers" who can work directly without staff training.

After telling the story, the ark hung up and looked directly at Professor Michiel Percy sitting opposite him, smiling with a little apology.

“Sorry to keep you waiting on the call at work. ”

“It doesn't matter, time is a precious thing for a brilliant scholar like you.” Michelle Percy smiled, not stingy at her compliments, and went on to say, "May I begin? ”

The ark nodded with joy: "Of course. ”

It has to be acknowledged that the University of Pennsylvania does deserve an incubation base for the world's business elite, where students and professors alike are of considerable skill.

With her explanation, the Ark has a general framework for the organization of the North American branch of Startech.

She has taken into account everything he needs to think about, including the functions of the company's departments, what type of talent is needed for which role, the employee compensation system, etc.

To be honest, if she had the idea of going to work for the company and believed in her ability, no management role would be worth talking about.

Certainly not comfortable as a professor in such a fixed-pay job.

In particular, such professors with dual doctorates in business administration and international trade earn not only salaries for teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, but are paid hourly fees for whomever the firm is consulted or trained.

Usually bring students with you, issue papers occasionally, brush your presence, encounter some big cases, your own students can also act as a free labor force, such a life is definitely more comfortable than living in the office, towards nine or five nights.

“… that's the basics, considering that your company is primarily an intellectual property player, I suggest you set up an office in several of the world's major markets to oversee the use of patents in those markets. Also, if the budget is adequate, I suggest you hire a professional lawyer to form a 10-20 person legal team specializing in intellectual property infringement cases. ”

Taking note of Professor Percy's advice, the Ark closed the document in hand: "I will consider your opinion carefully. ”

After this interview, his partnership with AM about the patent management company was largely closed.

All that remains is to hand this document over to the manager he employs, and in accordance with the framework set out in this document, the branch of Startech in North America will start to operate like a fully powered machine.

And he can also take himself out of the cumbersome objects and focus on research.

For Michelle Percy, however, it was only business as previously stipulated in her contract with AM, and for her personally, the main purpose of her trip today has just begun.

“I have noticed that you have not developed the China market yet, in fact I have a report on the research on the China Lithium Anode Materials Market that I do not know if you are interested. ”

Hearing this, the ark said in a joke: "Do I have to charge? ”

Professor Michelle Percy smiled and said, "Of course not, but if you think my research is doing okay, I can provide you with more detailed research services and help you develop appropriate intellectual property licensing strategies for China's negative materials market… of course, this part is fee-based. ”

After taking over the study, the ark simply flipped.

If he had a good review, the study would have done a good job overall. As for the specific part, he couldn't see much more, nor did he want to worry too much about it.

It has always been his position to give something professional to a professional to do.

Waiting quietly for the ship to finish reading the report in hand, Michelle Percy smiled and asked, "What do you think? ”

“Mostly satisfied," closed the file in hand, and the ark put it on the table, smiling, "I can see you're a professional. ”

“Of course,” Michelle Percy smiled, “after all, I'm at least a professional in this area. ”

“Then do as you say. But for the follow-up service, I would like to get in touch with you from Startech, probably in mid-January, and I will have Startech executives contact you. ”

Professor Percy smiled and said, "No problem. Have a nice day, then? ”

The Ark smiled and smiled: "Enjoy the cooperation. ”

After the meeting, the two went to the parking lot together.

Before boarding, the ark suddenly remembered something and turned to Professor Percy.

“By the way, are you a professor at the University of Pennsylvania at Wharton Business School? ”

Michelle Percy smiled, "Yes, what's wrong? ”

“Well, I have a friend who reads there, don't you know? ”

Michelle Percy: “May I ask who he is? ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "My name is Chen Yushan. She is a master at Wharton Business School. I hear she's been having some difficulty with the subject lately, but I can't help her with the management stuff. If it's convenient, I'd like you to take care of her for me. ”

The moment he heard the name, Michelle Percy stunned a little and her expression became a little subtle.

After a slight cough, she quickly concealed the subtle unnatural and continued: "… I think I've heard of it, but I don't remember, but I'll keep an eye out for you when I get back. ”

The ark nodded with a smile: "Then please. ”
