Chapter 279: 400 million at hand

In an instant, from the end of November to the beginning of December, the 12-day M conference finally came to an end.
At the closing ceremony, Lu Zhou was invited by the organizer to present the award for the best poster award (best poster display award).
Since this conference has set up a total of 63 topics, there can be no horizontal comparison in different directions, so this award has also set up 63.
In general, young scholars participate in the poster display, and awards are given by well-known scholars.
Lu Zhou was in charge of the best poster award of the PV material and photovoltaic device sub-venue. The winner was Wang Chen, a master from Shanghai University of Applied Sciences, and his guiding professor was Xu Lijun.
Although "Maida" is not as well-known as "Caida", it is quite outstanding in the field of materials science, especially the direction of photovoltaic materials, and its strong direction.
Under the guidance of Prof. Xu, by using the hybrid continuous deposition method, the CH3NH3PbCl3 thin film with good crystallinity was synthesized, and a coplanar paper-inserted type CH3NH3PbCl3 thin film visible-light blind UV detector was obtained.
Although this result is not up to the level of an oral report, it is undoubtedly an excellent research result for a "poster display" for young scholars.
It is for this reason that her work has won the favor of the judges and stands out from the many achievements.
On the podium, the instructor, Professor Xu Lijun, clenched his hands in the landing boat and shook.
After a brief exchange of time, the old professor said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu is the first person in the field of computational materials after this M Autumn Party!"
"Don't dare to be," Lu Zhou shook the hand of the old professor and said with a smile, "I'm just a professor of mathematics. To carry forward computational materials science, I need more insights to make a difference in this field. Results. "
After a brief exchange, the two released their hands.
Lu Zhou turned around to receive the award certificate and souvenir from the staff, handed it to the winner Wang Chen, and shook hands with the winner.
Holding the hand of the landing boat, Ms. Master said with excitement, "Lu Shen, don't you really plan to teach the course of computational materials in Princeton?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhou froze slightly.
Always feel this ...
Seems familiar?
Staring at her for a while, he finally remembered it, as if he had met outside the report hall.
However, he did not change his plans.
"Maybe in the future, but there are currently no plans in this regard."
Miss Master Yiyi reluctantly said, "Then ... I'll report to MIT."
Lu Zhou's gaze encouraging her: "Well, come on!"
Miss Master: "..."
The award ceremony was over, and the closing ceremony of the meeting was finally nearing completion.
With this world-class material science event coming to an end, Lu Zhou, who had been on a business trip for two weeks, finally returned to Princeton's campus.
At the same time, good news came from AM.
The company on the other side of the Cayman Islands has been successfully registered. It is named Xingkong Technology Co., Ltd. according to Lu Zhou's requirements. Its main business scope is intellectual property services and overseas investment.
In this way, after an immature start-up, Lu Zhou finally owns a business again, and is still a multinational enterprise ...
Although this company is really a bit different, except for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account, there is not even an actual office. The patent management staff is still being recruited. The only business object is only one responsible for accounting. Accounting firm.
However, this situation only lasted until the second week of the M conference.
Soon, Starry Sky Technology welcomed one of its real customers.
And it's a big $ 400 million project.
"I didn't expect you to be so fast, I thought at least I had to wait until Christmas," after meeting at a business hotel in Philadelphia, looking at the contract handed by Carlotte, Lu Zhou simply flipped over and asked casually. , "Only one?"
Carlotte quipped: "Of course Christmas gifts have to be prepared before Christmas. In addition, this is the draft of your contract. I sent the electronic file to your email just now. I don't think you will I signed it without seeing it, so only one copy was printed. "
That is of course, no one is so stupid.
Lu Zhou flipped the contract from beginning to end, and then handed it over to a lawyer dispatched by the AM office next to it.
It's a waste of time to see this kind of thing for yourself, but it is better to leave it to a professional for inspection. Umicore's lawyers are also here, and the two parties will discuss every possible dispute on the contract.
Having reached the final step of patent negotiations, Carlotte will naturally not be in a hurry for this time and a half, but just sitting and waiting is boring, and he has a good laugh with Lu Zhou about the bright future of lithium batteries.
The lithium dendrite problem was solved. Mobile phone manufacturers and new energy vehicles and other downstream industries quickly started the development of new products, and major battery manufacturers' lithium battery projects are also accelerating.
Even if you do n’t have to wait for the black technology of lithium-sulfur batteries to come out of the laboratory, even if you dig out Li-MoS2 batteries from the grave of history, the entire industry can still change guns and make the energy density double.
Except for the Li-MoS2 battery patent that was bought at a high price, NEC, whose patent right has expired, may cry in the toilet. In the face of huge market demand, almost all battery-related companies will wake up with a smile.
In the face of this huge market, it is imperative for chemical giants such as Umicore to obtain patent authorization as soon as possible.
It is for this reason that Umi Kobe is more anxious for this negotiation.
Whether it is out of reaching an agreement as soon as possible or longer-term benefits after four years, they have restrained the idea of ​​being clever and did not deliberately use tricks on the contract.
From morning to evening, after repeated inspections by AM's team of lawyers, several possible disputes were patched, and the team at Umicore's side also confirmed the revised contract.
Although he probably knew nothing about it, Lu Zhou took the final version of the contract and read it from beginning to end, then picked up his pen and solemnly signed his name on the paper.
Starting today, Umicore will obtain a four-year exclusive license and a secondary license for the modified PDMS film technology in the global market outside of China for $ 400 million.
In these regions, Xingkong Technology will no longer authorize third parties, and all proceeds obtained by Umicore through secondary authorization will share 50% of the proceeds with Xingkong Technology.
As for the patent agency right, how Umicore relied on its excellent legal team to "blackmail" peers is no longer a matter for Luzhou to worry about.
The reason why he packaged the exclusive right and the price of the second authorization and the 50% of the revenue to Umicore, a large part of the reason why UU reads www.uukanshu.com is that he does not want to spend a lot of time on boring negotiations and lawsuits. .
If someone uses his patent without authorization, I believe Umicore will go up more aggressively than him, whether it is for the purpose of suppressing competitors or knocking a sum.
And by the time the court issued a ticket, Lu Zhou could still get half of it.
Looking at the two contracts on the table, Carlotte's original stretched face finally showed a pleasant smile.
With this contract, Umicore will occupy a greater advantage in the lithium battery industry chain.
For him personally, this is also a remarkable achievement.
Putting down the contract that belonged to him, Carlotte extended his right hand to Lu Zhou.
"Happy cooperation."
Holding Carlotte's right hand and shaking, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Happy cooperation!"
