*Sob, sob*

Some knowledgeable and cultured netizens commented that the most amazing thing in the scientific community is that a mathematician conducted a physics experiment and ultimately won the Nobel Chemistry Prize.

Shen Qi found these comments quite interesting.

He has stated in public on more than one occasion that the future trend of academic development will inevitably be interdisciplinary and with blurred boundaries.

In the future, there may not be any interdisciplinary scientists; everyone will be crossing boundaries, so there will be no such thing as crossing boundaries anymore.

But now, Shen Qi hopes that the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences will pay more attention to his contributions to physics.

In fact, the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry Prize is awarded by the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences.

Shen Qi had no idea what the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences was currently focusing on.

"What's meant to come will come; you can't escape it. What's not meant to come will never come; you can't have it," Shen Qi said to Ou Ye, lying on his bed at home.

Ou Ye asked, "You've been researching a lot of chemistry lately, are you really aiming for Chemistry Prize?"

"I looked up chemistry information to conduct physics experiments; it has nothing to do with mathematics."

"Skin."

The couple joked around for a while, then got down to business.

Shen Qi and Ou Ye are both scientists who approach things scientifically.

The scientific basis for this is that women have a higher chance of conceiving during ovulation.

The young couple both want a baby, so let's follow the scientific principles.

Director Qi of the Yanda Technology Transfer Center is very efficient. Entrusted by Shen Qi, he quickly contacted the buyer of the Ce-Al-Cu Metallic Plastic patent development rights.

The buyer's company is located in Zhongguancun, and it is the only company in China with the capability to produce Amorphous Materials.

Director Qi handed the company's information to Shen Qi and said, "This company is called Angel Materials Technology Co., Ltd.., and its largest shareholder is Kuang Yongjie, a Hong Konger whose family is very wealthy. They started out in real estate. Angel Company is not short of money, its operations are going well, its headquarters are in Zhongguancun, and its factory is in Baoding. Although they are the only option in China, I think we can cooperate with them and transfer the patent development rights to them."

"What's their asking price?" Shen Qi asked.

"We'll pay 20 million yuan upfront. If the product goes into mass production and hits the market, you'll also receive a percentage of the sales revenue as a technology royalty," Director Qi said.

Over a five-year period, Director Qi helped scientists and research teams at Yenching University transfer 250 scientific and technological achievements, generating 2.7 billion yuan in technology transfer revenue, with each project bringing in an average of about 10 million yuan.

This is an amazing achievement. There are plenty of patents on the market worth tens of thousands of yuan, but Director Qi was able to bring back 10 million yuan for Yanda University with just one project. No amount of salary is too much for such a professional.

Of course, Yenching University itself has a prestigious reputation, and with the support of national policies, Director Qi was able to fully utilize his professional skills on the best technology transfer platform in China.

There are no successful cases of Metallic Plastic manufacturing in China. Shen Qi's project is the first of its kind, so there is no industry experience to refer to.

Shen Qi was familiar with the market situation for patent transfers of Amorphous Materials in the United States.

In the US, after purchasing a patent, companies typically don't pay the inventor cash. Instead, they grant the inventor a percentage of company stock. If the company thrives in the future, the inventor benefits. If the company fails after a few years, the inventor is simply out of luck.

China and the United States have different circumstances. While some experiences can be learned from the United States, they are difficult to copy verbatim.

Shen Qi felt that Chairman Kuang's offer was very sincere.

A one-time payment of 20 million RMB, with the possibility of receiving technology royalties later.

This price is considered very high even in the United States.

"Then that's settled. I accept their offer. I'll have to trouble Director Qi with the rest of the business process." Shen Qi bowed and thanked him, saying he would treat Director Qi to dinner another day to express his gratitude.

Director Qi smiled and said, "I'm free today."

"Old Qi, you're quite the expert at using tricks." Shen Qi had fallen into the trap without realizing it. Okay then, let's go eat.

This lunch was something Shen Qi genuinely wanted to treat Director Qi to.

Director Qi is Shen Qi's project team's financial backer, legal advisor, and intermediary service provider who doesn't profit from the difference in price, providing extremely efficient and professional one-stop patent transfer services.

Shen Qi could relax and be a hands-off manager, not having to worry about too many business or legal issues. It was only right that he treat Lao Qi to dinner.

No business deal is made without discussing business. Shen Qi and Director Qi are both returnees from the United States, one a graduate of Princeton and the other of Harvard, allies of the Ivy League.

The two chatted more and more happily. Director Qi expressed his respect for Shen Qi's scientific research achievements. Shen Qi recognized Director Qi's reputation and would have Director Qi handle all future patent transfer business.

And so, Shen Qi sold the patent development rights for their A18 sample to Angel Materials Technology Co., Ltd.. in Zhongguancun.

The technology transfer process went very smoothly, and the wealthy and powerful Chairman Kuang quickly transferred 20 million yuan to the Research Department of Yenching University.

This money cannot be transferred directly to Shen Qi Shen Qi, who is a professor at Yenching University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, not a self-employed individual.

How to allocate this one-time payment of 20 million is an internal matter for Yenching University.

The approach taken in the previous 250 successful cases was that the patent inventor and his team received half, and the other half was handed over to Yenching University.

Shen Qi did the same; he gave half to the university and kept the other half for his project team, which they then collected from the Yanda University Research Office.

Yenching University accepted the money Shen Qi had contributed, and then returned 5 million yuan to the FASTER Project Team under the guise of Yenching University's research funding.

The returned 5 million will be used for the continued advancement of the FASTER project and cannot go into personal pockets.

The 10 million yuan that can go into personal pockets is the legitimate income from the transfer of patents by scientific researchers.

When Shen Qi rewarded those who had contributed, he did not divide the 10 million yuan equally among the 12 people; he had the authority to do so.

Today, Shen Qi's right-hand man Tang Yuan, received a text message from the bank. "Your bank card ending in 9281 received RMB 880,000.00, balance..."

"Eight... eight hundred and eighty thousand?" Tang Yuan was stunned. He had never seen so much money in his life.

With trembling hands, Tang Yuan cautiously looked around and slipped into the toilet stall. He locked the door, took out his phone, and checked it one last time: 880,000. Yes, 880,000 had been deposited into his account.

"This... is too much!" Tang Yuan knew that Shen Qi had sold the project team's first patent, but he never dared to imagine that he would receive so much money. "I've only been in the project team for a few months, and the benefits that Boss Shen is giving me are more than I've earned in several years of hard work!"

Worried that the bank might have made a mistake, Tang Yuan went to the ATM to check his balance. Holy crap, it really was 880,000!

Let's try withdrawing some money. Will the government freeze such a large sum?

Tang Yuan entered the number 10,000, and the ATM obediently dispensed 100 brand-new 100-yuan bills.

"Oh dear, I've come to realize a profound truth: follow the right leader, and you'll buy a car and a house. Follow the wrong leader, and you'll be begging for food."

Tang Yuan was still uneasy. He sneaked into Shen Qi's office, closed the door, and cautiously asked, "Academician Shen, I received 880,000 yuan from the patent transfer of the Metallic Plastic?"

Seeing Tang Yuan's parched throat, Shen Qi handed Tang Yuan a bottle of purified water. "Look at you, a small achievement and a little money have made you forget yourself? The A Series samples are just the most basic results. There are still the B Series, C Series, and even Z Series to come. Relax, okay? This 880,000 yuan is the result of your hard work, a reasonable income for a conscientious scientific researcher. We are contributing to the country, and we have a clear conscience about what we are receiving."

Tang Yuan, who had been buried in experiments at the Physics Department and never imagined that making this thing could make him rich, suddenly felt a lump in his throat and burst into tears.
