“See one side?”

In a coffee shop in Philadelphia, Lu Zhou, holding a cell phone, stunned after hearing Woolf’s words.

Woolf looked helpless: “Yes, I helped you push the price to 10 million, and the other party agreed with my offer. But he said that he could not entrust the future of his team to a Boss that he had never seen before. , insist on asking you to meet before signing the contract. Or… I will arrange for him to come over?”

To be honest, for the reason of the guy, Woolf had no other thoughts than turning his eyes.

Don’t worry about the future of the team. There is no future for the research team without funding. I am afraid that the researchers in his team are eager to change a Boss. First, pay the salary owed for two months.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, “No, I still have a look. Just I have to see what the equipment is over there.”

Woolf said with a smile : “OK, if you are willing to come and see it in nature, it is best.”

The things of the experimental equipment can’t be sloppy. To be on the safe side, Lu Zhou decided to go and see it for himself.

Compared to the researchers themselves, equipment is what he really needs.

In the high-tech talent-intensive area of ​​Silicon Valley, the annual salary of hundred thousand dollars hires a doctor who is a carbon nanomaterial and organic synthesis direction, and then invites several laboratory assistants and interns to get a hand. A research team even pulls it out. At the very least, it is the problem of being unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

However, the equipment is different, and it is the investment of millions or even tens of millions.

Needless to say, a slightly better SEM scanning electron microscope will cost millions of dollars. For example, a CVD vacuum tube furnace for preparing carbon nanotubes, a vacuum arc chamber commonly used for preparing fullerene materials, and the like, a complete set of instruments, 2000 million dollars is barely enough.

For cost-saving reasons, it is not cost-effective to acquire a new instrument from an instrument manufacturer.

It doesn’t cost a particularly expensive price, he can get a good number of cheap second-hand equipment, which is undoubtedly more reliable than the second-hand equipment that other research institutions have eliminated or are unclear.

Not only that, but he also gets a batch of “skilled workers” who can go directly to work without the need for staff training.

After confessing things, Lu Zhou hung up the phone, followed by looked towards the opposite of Mihir Passy Professor, apologetically laughed.

“Sorry, the phone at work has kept you waiting.”

“It doesn’t matter, time is a very valuable thing for an outstanding Scholar like you.” Michelle Passy smiled and did not hesitate to compliment, then said, “Can I start?”

Lu Zhou is pleased nodded: “Of course.”

I have to admit that the University of Pennsylvania is indeed worthy of the incubator base of the World Business elite, where both student and professor are quite level.

With her explanation, Lu Zhou has a general framework for the organization of Star Technology North America.

Including the functions of various departments of the company, which types of talents are needed in which positions, the employee compensation system, etc., which he needs to think about, she has already considered for him.

To be honest, if she has the idea of ​​going to the company to take up her job, I believe that with her ability, any management position is not a problem.

Of course, doing this kind of fixed salary work is definitely not as comfortable as Professor.

In particular, this professor with a double doctorate in business administration and international trade can earn income not only for the salary of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, but also for which company to serve as a consultant or to help the company, which is charged on an hourly basis. of.

Usually with the student, occasionally issued thesis, brush the sense of presence, encounter some big cases, his student can also act as a free labor, such a livelihood is definitely more than in the office, living a nine-to-five livelihood.

“…the basic situation is like this. Considering that your company mainly makes intellectual property, I suggest that you set up an office in several major markets around the world to supervise the use of patents in these markets. Also, if the budget is sufficient In this case, I suggest that you hire a professional lawyer and form a legal team of 10-20 people to handle intellectual property infringement cases.”

Taking note of the advice of Passy Professor, Lu Zhou closed the paper in his hand: “I will seriously consider your opinion.”

After this interview, his cooperation with the AM firm on the patent management company was basically over.

The rest only need to hand this document to the manager he hired. According to the framework set out in this document, StarCraft’s branch office in North America will start running like a machine with full horsepower.

And he can also extract himself from the cumbersome and concentrate on the research.

However, for Michelle Passy, ​​it was only the business specified in her contract with AM. For her personal purpose, the main purpose of this trip has just begun.

“I noticed that you have not yet developed the Huaguo market. In fact, I have a report on the market research of lithium-ion anode materials in China. I don’t know if you are interested.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou said in a joking tone: “Do you need to charge?”

Michelle Passy Professor said with a faint smile : “Of course not, but if you feel that my research report is still ok, I can provide you with more detailed research services and help you with the negative of China. The material market has a suitable intellectual property licensing strategy… Of course, this part is charged.”

After taking the research report, Lu Zhou simply turned over.

If you let him be appreciative, this research report is generally good. As for the specific part, his layman can’t see more things, and he doesn’t want to exercise too much on it.

It is his consistent position to give professional things to professional people.

Quietly waiting for Lu Zhou to read the report in his hand, Michelle Passy smiled and asked, “How do you feel?”

“It’s generally satisfactory,” closed the paper in his hand. Lu Zhou put it on the table and smiled. “You can see that you are professional.”

“Of course,” Michelle Passy was slightly laughed. “After all, in this respect, I am a professional.”

“That’s what you said. But the follow-up service, I hope to be in contact with you by Star Technology, probably in the middle of 1, I will let StarCraft executives contact you.”

Passy Professor said with a faint smile : “No problem. Then wish us a happy cooperation?”

Lu Zhou slightly laughed: “Happy cooperation.”

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

Before getting on the bus, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered one thing and asked back to Passy Professor.

“Right, you are the Professor of Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania?”

Michelle Passy said with a slight smile : “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“It is like this. I have a friend who is studying there. I don’t know if you know it?”

Michelle Passy: “Can I ask who he is?”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “Chen Chenshan, she is a master’s degree at Wharton business school. I heard that she seems to have encountered some difficulties on recent topics, but I can’t help her with management matters. Conveniently, I hope that you can help me take care of her.”

At the moment of hearing the name, Michelle Passy squinted slightly, and the expression became subtle.

Lightly coughed, she quickly disguised the subtle unnaturalness and continued: “…I seem to hear it, but I have no impression, but after I go back, I will help you to pay attention.”

Lu Zhou smiled nodded: “Call please.”
