Chapter 306: The market moving

The experiment at the Salot Institute is being carried out step by step. These days, Lu Zhou has been dealing with the Jinling Institute of Computing Materials, and has not paid much attention to it.
But what he didn't expect was that in the second week after the seminar, he saw his name in the news, and was put together with lithium-sulfur batteries and hollow carbon balls.
The article gave an overview of the seminar on lithium-sulfur batteries, but it did not use gimmicky titles and text, but just a brief quote on the professors' views on lithium-sulfur batteries.
Among them, of course, Lu Zhou is indispensable.
Recently, the market is extremely sensitive to the term new energy. A little wind and grass will blow a strong wind.
In particular, Lu Zhou's own point of view has a particularly significant impact.
Even just a few quotes will be marked with important marks and interpreted.
After all, the door of lithium battery was pushed by him.
After reading that report, Lu Zhou was also quite surprised.
I don't know who released the news, and he didn't know him.
However, it does not matter. This kind of thing is not an aircraft cannon atomic bomb. Some things that are specific to the production technology may be used as business secrets by the enterprise. Not to mention the results discussed at the meeting.
Moreover, those who are qualified to take notes at such meetings may not be the reporters of the central media. After all, they are no longer happy to make a fortune.
Forget about other things for the time being. Some people agree with Lu Zhou's optimistic development of hollow carbon spheres, but others also express criticism.
The voice of approval holds that hollow carbon spheres have great potential as a carbon-sulfur composite material. Although there are many black spots in itself, if those problems can be solved, it may indeed become the key to solving the shuttle effect.
As for the voice of criticism, Lu Zhou should not make such statements publicly before major results emerge. It is irresponsible to use its influence to publicly support an immature technology.
In fact, Lu Zhou was quite helpless.
He was right, but let it go, not his pot.
Of course, the voice of criticism is still a small part, and it has not yet developed to the extent that attracts his attention. And compared with what other people think of him, there are more things worth waiting for him to wait for him.
Just the second week that Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo went to Europe, the first batch of experimental equipment was already in place.
It was just that Lu Zhou didn't expect that it was not only these experimental equipment that arrived at the Jinda Experimental Building together, but also the patent of cs material from Umicore. Recently Umicore's performance in overseas markets is like his face His expression is as proud as spring breeze.
In order to enter this field, their old rivals BASF Group and Nichia Chemicals had to obediently pay a high "entry fee".
Whether in the securities market or the materials market, Umicore is in a good shape. In particular, the BASF Group, under pressure from the irreplaceability of lithium anode materials, had to abandon the United States Argonne National Laboratory to sue Umicore for patents on ternary batteries.
Because of this series of good news, Carlotte's position on the board of directors has naturally risen.
If it weren't for Lu Zhou's being a man, he vowed that he would definitely be in love with her.
Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor to show the excitement in his heart.
"Not bad," shook hands with Mr. Carlotit, Lu Zhou gave him a strange look, and asked in a casual tone, "what's the wind blowing you?"
Although he borrowed Umicore's transportation channel when purchasing this batch of equipment, even if it is delivered, it will not be the positive electrode material of the group's cs film, and we must pay us $ 1,500. "
With a bright smile on his face, Carlotte continued, "One hundred million of the license fee and prepayment have been received. According to our agreement, half of these spoils belong to you. I don't know In what way do you want us to pay you this amount? "
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said: "After paying the final payment of the instrument manufacturer, the remaining part will be directly replaced with rmb at the current exchange rate, and it will be just fine on my domestic account."
Due to the five-year tax exemption policy, this money was directly deposited into the account of Jinling Institute of Computing Materials, and only an account was required. No additional tax deduction was required.
As the instruments pass the customs one after another, the institutes here will begin experiments soon, and the corresponding research funding must also keep up.
Originally, Lu Zhou planned to inject funds from Xingkong Technology's account to a domestic account, but now obviously it is not necessary to be so troublesome.
Umicore has a branch in China, and it is sufficient to let them do the work directly. I believe they will be happy to help.
Just as Lu Zhou expected, Carlotte agreed readily.
"No problem, I will do it as you ask!"
Although he came to China this time to send money, the money alone was not enough for him to make a special trip to China, and it was not enough to make such a bright smile on his face.
What really made him so attentive was naturally another thing.
After showing his sincerity and contractual spirit, Mr. Carlotte then smiled diligently and said the true intention of his trip.
"That's it. I heard that you have recently been working on lithium-sulfur batteries?"
There is nothing to conceal such things that have been disclosed. Lu Zhou casually said, "Forget it, the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur batteries is an interesting proposition, and I do have plans for this recently."
Upon hearing this, Carlotte rejoiced and said, "It's a coincidence that we are also very interested in lithium-sulfur battery-related research. I don't know if you need to invest?"
Although it was expected that Carlotte would ask this question, and made a plan to reject, Lu Zhou couldn't help but tease: "Do you think I need to invest?"
Of course, Carlotte would not give up so easily, trying to convince: "But don't you want to share the risks? I know you are confident, but scientific research is like a gamble, and no one can guarantee the results of his experiments. We are willing to share 70% of the research cost, and I guarantee that this number will be more than 400 million US dollars! The relative ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We only require 50% for the research results, and I believe that it is absolutely impossible for anyone to offer more than Better conditions. "
It was true that Carlott said that no one could prescribe such a condition.
Had it not been for a beautiful battle over the patent for the lithium anode material, even if he was the CEO of Umicore, he would never dare to put such a gambling proposal on the board meeting table.
However, this condition may seem difficult to reject in the eyes of peers, but for Lu Zhou, it is a bit of a rib.
Taking 10,000 steps back, he threw a lot of money into it and couldn't do it, and there was a last backup option.
That is to spend a lot of points and seek the help of the system.
However, he will not consider this option until he spends half the $ 400 million.
Although the experience of system tasks has been expanding, the reward points for completing tasks have never changed much. From this point, it is not difficult to see how valuable those points are.
Unless he can't solve the problem, he still intends to solve it by his own strength.
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou said, "I will not consider borrowing chips from other gamblers until I lose all my chips."
Carlotte looked at him with unbelievable eyes: "Lose all the chips? God ... you are crazy, you plan to put all your net worth in? That's $ 400 million, so you don't think much Think about it? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "From a business perspective, this is really not a rational investment, but I am not a businessman. Our starting point for thinking about things is different."
Why not invest in real estate if it's just for the sake of efficiency?
Obviously, it is better to invest in infrastructure than to conduct research.
