Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Next to Jinling University.

Still that cafe.

Chen Yushan, who had been working on Jinling's side for the past few days, agreed to meet him here after receiving a call from the Ark. And on the side of the ark, he kept what he said the day before yesterday about inviting her to dinner.

“Your lab director was interviewed by the FBI? ”

After a sip of coffee, the ark nodded and briefly explained the situation: "Well, I got his e-mail this morning, and he told me in it. ”

“Then let go as soon as possible," Chen Yushan sighed softly with a warm cup of coffee in his hands, "which is good for both you and Professor Sarot. ”

The ark thought about it and said, "I don't understand. ”

Chen Yushan: “Understand what? ”

Ark: “The research project at Sarott Laboratories does not involve sensitive content, most of the more cumbersome experiments I have done on the side of the Golden Ring Institute of Higher Studies… If so, even if the FBI or the CIA are really investigating me, what can they find out? ”

Chen Yushan: “They don't necessarily need to really find out what, whether it's evidence or witnesses, can be made. ”

Made it?

A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the ark.

Looking seriously at the canoe, Chen Yushan said without joking: “Anyway, I will contact some suitable buyers for you. Nobunaga's lab, I'm sure a lot of people will still be interested, and selling a good price should be fine. ”

Ark: “Please... that's right. ”

Chen Yushan: “What's wrong? ”

Looking at the coffee she held in her hand, the ark asked curiously.

“By the way, haven't you always been ice american? Why are you suddenly drinking hot drinks today? ”

He's been curious about it since he ordered.

However, I don't know why, obviously it was just a gossip. After hearing him, Chen Yushan was suddenly red on his cheek and his voice was a little stubborn.

“Can't we change the taste? ”

Seeing her react so much, the ark was also stunned.

“Nothing... I'm just curious if it's inconvenient. ”

“Either way, it might be me...” He rubbed his knees together. Chen Yushan's gaze unfortunately floated to the side, and his voice was fast and quiet. "I came to that, I can't drink cold. ”

Ark: “…? ”

I don't know what she's talking about, but it always feels like the topic is moving in a strange direction...

……

After talking to the schoolsister, the Ark has made a decision about Sarott's laboratory stay.

Honestly, his mood was a little complicated when he made that decision.

Though he has always been careful not to let politics go as far as possible. Cure interferes with one's own research, but now it seems impossible.

Even if he doesn't actively seek trouble, trouble will automatically come to the door.

As suggested by Chen Yushan, Starscream's operations in North America will, as far as possible, retain only the necessary management and relevant legal teams to ensure that patent rights are safeguarded.

As for the R&D sector, it's either domestic or political. Cure the transfer of neutral third countries with low risk.

Professionals were hired to assess the assets of the Sarott Laboratory, after which Startech released information on the transfer of the Laboratory to industry.

As Chen Yushan had predicted, almost the day the news was released, he received 11 quotes from Sarot Laboratories.

Among them are his old partner, Belgian Meiko, as well as international chemical giants such as Niya Chemical, Tao's and Basf, and his old rival ExxonMobil, who once had competition in the lithium-sulfur battery cathode material project.

These companies all have material directions to business demand, so the prices offered are also quite significant.

After a comparison, the Ark eventually chose ExxonMobil, which was rich and bold.

To do this, ExxonMobil's CEO, Woods, flew all the way to China to meet with the Ark in Jinling, Su Province.

Actually, the CEO initially wanted to talk to the Ark in Los Angeles.

But the ark threw a "love can't come, don't pull down" at him and immediately made him compromise without temper...

As such, the venue for the negotiations was set in the Golden Mausoleum.

With the help of Sister Xu, the Ark negotiated an increase of its original offer of $45 million to $50 million.

The transfer price of $50 million was not much, almost the price of a private plane, but for a ship that had just bled heavily on the "scrambled stock”, some blood was returned.

In fact, even though his consumption is usually low, his expenses are actually quite high.

Not only are there thousands of researchers, research assistants and other researchers at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies to support, but there are also nearly 100 ongoing research projects that are not the main savers.

Especially the research on carbon-based chips and hall thrusters, which are the kind that burn large households of money and have no bottom holes. Even though the national scientific research fund relieved him of the pressure on some of the subjects, the vast majority of the subjects involved in patents were his own.

In addition to $50 million, the Ark has attached a patent to a seemingly useless carbon nanosphere to the transfer agreement.

Though he had no plans for the black technology of a lithium battery at the moment, this was, after all, taken from him by ExxonMobil through unfair competitive means.

Now getting it back in this way is kind of a return to the original owner.

Speaking of which, there's actually a little insert.

After learning that the ark was interested in the patent for that carbon nanosphere, Woods did not intend to sell it at first.

Woods shook his mind just as soon as he saw the Ark abandon the idea easily and offered an increase of $1 million.

Useless patents are worthless.

Instead of delaying the transfer project at Sarot Laboratories for this million dollars, let it play a little bit of value. After all, in his opinion, that patent document, which is similar to scrap paper, is not worth $1 million...

Finally, the final assignment contract was finalized and the parties agreed to sign it at 8 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel King.

At the time of signing, Woods had a painful face on his face.

But almost immediately after the ark held the pen, he just signed his name, he suddenly looked like a change of face, his painful expression dissipated from the smoke on his face, smiled and closed his contract

“Enjoy your cooperation!” With a warm handshake, Woods' face revealed the happiest smile of the last few days.

“Enjoy the cooperation, my old men are very capable, remember to be nice to them, or I will consider digging them back one day... you seem in a good mood? Looks like my price is still a little low.” Woods' hands loosened, and the ark laughed and twisted.

“How? In fact, my heart is heavy, very, very heavy... but we have to move forward, don't we?” Haha smiled and patted the shoulder of the ark. After the contract, Woods was too lazy to perform. "Want a drink? I know a nice bar, not far from here. ”

Obviously, 50 million is still below ExxonMobil's psychological expectations, and even in their view, they make a lot of money...

At least now they think so.

After putting away his contract, the Ark thought for a while and shook its head and said, "No, I have a little something to do at night. ”

“Dating? ”

“Experiment.”

Woods sighed helplessly and said, "Well, it looks like you're a man without a nightlife… To be honest, my friend, have you ever made so much money that you haven't thought about spending some time and money on yourself and enjoying your life? ”

The ark replied in an indifferent tone: “I enjoyed the results of the experiment and the process. ”

Shoulder shrugged, Woods said: "… that's a shame, it looks like I'm the only one who's had a good drink. ”

After the negotiations, the Ark left the Hilton Hotel with Wang Peng.

He sat on the black red flag at the door, looked at the contract in his eyes, then pulled out his phone and sent an e-mail to Sarot, who was waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.

[Negotiated, your new home is ExxonMobil.

I waited about three minutes, and an email came back.

Only one word is rare in the text.

[Thank you…]

The Ark laughed and returned one at random.

[You're welcome.
