"You're welcome, come in and sit down. "
Huo Mingzhen took the gift and invited Zheng Ge and the others in enthusiastically. It was not because of the enthusiasm for the gift, but because she heard her student Gong Lin say that Zheng Ge is a businessman, what business can a businessman do with her?
It's definitely an investment.
She has encountered this situation many times.
After pouring a few cups of tea, sitting down and chatting, Huo Mingzhen got to the point: "Xiao Zheng, what do you want from me?"
Zheng Ge put down his tea cup and said, "There are some things. Can Professor Huo talk about it alone?"
"Okay, Xiao Shi, Xiao Lin, please sit down first. Xiao Zheng, please come to my study."
Huo Mingzhen said to Zheng Shi and Gong Lin, got up and walked towards the study.
Zheng Ge also got up and followed.
"Your brother is quite mysterious!"
Seeing the two of them entering the study, Gong Lin whispered.
Zheng Shi pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
…
In the study, the two of them sat down, and Zheng Ge said: "Professor Huo, I want to talk to you about the S-1 material project you are currently researching."
He learned about the model s-1 before he came.
"You mean?"
Huo Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"I heard that Professor Huo is planning to stop this project? As far as I know, Professor Huo has put a lot of effort and time into this project. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up now?"
Zheng Ge said seriously.
Huo Mingzhen calmed down, sighed, and said: "So what if it's a pity? The school doesn't provide funds, and no one invests in the company. Although I have some money in my hand, it's still far behind. So what if I don't stop?"
"What if I invest in Professor Huo?"
Zheng Ge said seriously.
Huo Mingzhen smiled and was not surprised. From the moment Zheng Ge stepped into her door, she roughly guessed his purpose. After all, a businessman looking for her as a professor was definitely not talking about ordinary things.
What I didn't expect was that what Zheng Ge wanted to invest in was an S-1 research project that was generally not optimistic.
It is also a project that will be discontinued soon.
"Mr. Zheng, Xiaolin is my most proud student. You are her friend, so I won't hide it from you. The success rate of the S-1 research project is very small. Although the research in the past few years is almost successful,
We still have to wait and see whether we can succeed in the end. Even I, the person in charge, have no idea.
If you have too much confidence, the result is likely to fail. In addition, this project will require at least 50 million in funds in the later stage, or even more. It is precisely because of this that the school came to me repeatedly and asked me to stop this research. This is the outline of the project
In this situation, does Mr. Zheng still want to invest?"
Huo Mingzhen put her hands on the desk, folded together, waiting for Zheng Ge's rejection.
I remember that the last businessman who was interested in investing in an S-1 project was scared away by this number.
"Of course."
Zheng Ge said seriously.
Huo Mingzhen was stunned, it was different from what she imagined!
"Professor Huo, since I'm here, I have naturally thought about everything. I also understand some of the situations you mentioned. But there is no risk in investing? As long as the risk is worth the future returns, take some risks
It’s nothing.”
Zheng Ge said seriously.
"All right."
Huo Mingzhen calmed down and said, "In that case, what are your conditions for accepting your investment?"
"I plan to fund the establishment of a research institute, and the S-1 research results will be owned by the research institute. At the same time, I will give Professor Huo 49% of the ownership. Professor Huo will receive 49% of the dividends from any future income generated by the research institute."
Zheng Ge said.
He had thought of these conditions on the way here.
Simply investing in a research project would not bring much profit. The key was that the investment would not lead to a patent, but only a free license. So he thought of setting up a research institute. But he was not sure whether Huo Mingzhen would agree.
After all, the patent belongs to the institute, which means the patentee’s rights and profits are shared with others.
Professor Huo Mingzhen was obviously stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect Zheng Ge to propose such a cooperation method. It seems that this guy has quite a lot of ambitions.
Not only should we invest in her projects, but we should also invest in her as a person!
"Mr. Zheng, the S-1 project is owned by Modu University and cannot be separated for the time being. Because the early research and development funds were all funded by Modu University. So, I'm afraid this won't work."
Professor Huo Mingzhen shook his head.
Zheng Ge smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can communicate with the school about this. I think after paying some price, the school will not refuse the benefits because of a failed project, right?"
"Too."
Huo Mingzhen nodded and said: "However, Mr. Zheng may also know that except for scientific researchers who join the company and independent researchers, the research results are owned by the developers themselves. And investors can obtain permanent free authorization. If you follow your
If we cooperate in this model, I will be at a huge disadvantage."
Zheng Ge naturally knows this.
After the research project invested by the enterprise is successful, it can obtain patent authorization.
This authorization is different from ordinary authorization.
This is a special licensing agreement. Once this agreement is signed, the investing company can use this patent permanently and for free.
This is something that even the patentee cannot change or cancel.
This is also a guarantee for investors to avoid investing a large amount of money but not getting a return.
Of course, companies only have the right to use patents and no other rights.
If a company privately licenses its patent to other people or companies, it will face sky-high fines.
As the patentee, the developer can authorize the patent to multiple companies and collect more patent fees.
Many scientists make money from this.
Therefore, the richest people in this world are not businessmen, but highly respected scientists.
Just one patent can last you a lifetime.
Therefore, everyone in this world wants to be a scientist.
But is it easy to be a scientist?
As a qualified scientific researcher, you must not only have profound knowledge and a well-developed brain. You must also have popularity and connections, and be able to attract investment. Otherwise, you will not be able to start any research without money.
If you are a nerdy scientific researcher, you can only join a company.
Once you join a company, all research results will only belong to the company.
"Of course I know this."
Zheng Ge said with a smile: "But the research institute also has Professor Huo's share, right? To be honest, the profit from patent fees alone is very different from the profit of a research institute. After the research institute is established, we can hire more scientific research workers
Investors join in. Accumulated over a long period of time, the benefits generated every year are much greater than the patent fees for a mere achievement."
Professor Huo Mingzhen was silent and did not speak.
"Also, after the establishment of the institute, we will spare no effort to support you. With the support of the institute, you can save yourself a lot of worries, such as funds, various resources, etc."
