In Yan Kun's matter, Jing Jian is purely obligated to help. For Yan Kun and others, the most troublesome foreign exchange problem, and the issue of applying for a patent in a foreign country, for Jing Jian, it is nothing more than a piece of cake.

After a few phone calls, Jing Jian turned back to Yan Kun's side: "Yan Gong, I just contacted the German patent law firm, and they will send a patent negotiator and a lawyer to talk tomorrow." There is no need to worry about the cost, they provide an agency. If the patent has sufficient value, the agency can pay in advance. If you can't sell it, you don't have to pay. In case of sale, the agency will charge a commission of 15 in addition to the cost of applying for the patent. ”

"Do you want to sell it?" Yan Kun was surprised and delighted, "The institute may not be passed." ”

"Huh. Jing Jian smiled, "Let's talk about it then." It is completely possible to keep domestic patents and only sell foreign patent rights. Anyway, I couldn't get a dime, but now I can have some foreign exchange. I'm sure you're not going to say yes, are you?"

"That's true. Zhu Guoliang and the others discussed, "Yan Gong, this is to congratulate you on making a fortune?"

"Jokes, jokes. Yan Kun hurriedly said modestly, "Earning foreign exchange is also for the country, but I still have to call the office first." "In this era, scientific researchers like Yan Kun, after producing results, have no personal patent income at all, and the only thing they can get is a title, honor, or a bonus of several hundred yuan.

And that agency is nothing more than a patent donor affiliated to the firm, of course, such a donor will try to achieve a patent transfer, and charge about 10 agency fees.

However, in commercial agreements, there is generally no rule for advance payment at all. And that money was paid by Jing Jian through the Hamburg branch. It's nothing more than tens of thousands of dollars, and Jing Jian is willing to help with such a favor. Of course, if the transfer is successful, the 5 money will also be returned to Yan Kun, and he will not make this little money at all. As for Yan Kun's decision to stay or hand it over, then he can handle it at his disposal.

……

After explaining, Jing Jian no longer cared about this matter, anyway, it was Yan Kun's own choice to talk about good and bad. However, the next morning, when he was having a buffet with Zhu Guoliang in the restaurant, Yan Kun was anxious to find Jing Jian: "Old Zhu, can you lend me Xiao Jing for a day?

Zhu Guoliang was angry and funny: "I said Xiao Yan, isn't there a full-time translator?

Zhu Guoliang had already communicated with Jing Jian last night, and it was best not to participate in such a business event. Matchmaking is OK, but specific negotiations need to avoid suspicion.

But Yan Kun has his own thoughts: "Old Zhu, our institute is already strongly supportive, just let Xiao Jing do a favor! You don't know, it's nothing if you don't mention it, the whole institute is already boiling, and it seems that the trouble can only succeed, and I haven't slept well all night." This is Xiao Jing's relationship, he can be on the side, and he has a greater grasp. ”

After all, intellectuals are more concerned about face. Yan Kun pleaded like this, and Zhu Guoliang was a little embarrassed, so he looked at Jing Jian with an inquiring gaze: "What do you ......?"

Jing Jian smiled: "Old Zhu, then I'll take a look? Yan Gong, in fact, I really can't help much, and I can't come up with any ideas." ”

"It's okay! After returning to China, please ask Zhu Lao to play with you. ”

“……”

As it turned out, Yan Kun's consideration was somewhat complicated. He can't be blamed, but people in this era rarely have the opportunity to negotiate with foreigners in business. In the morning, after the firm and the agency company came, they divided the agency application and transfer agreement by two. They are all internationally accepted standard contracts, and in fact, there is nothing to talk about, so it is very easy to initialize the agreement. And Jing Jian really sat on the side and sat down for the whole process.

After lunch, Yan Kun, Jing Jian, and Liu Yi, who participated in the negotiations, took a car to the venue. Since the morning went smoothly, the mood of the servants was quite relaxed. However, as soon as they entered the venue, they were stopped by several Westerners.

"Hello, which one is Mr. Yan Kun from China? Introduce myself, my name is Bauer, and I am the manager of the commercial department of Fix Chemical. ”

"Hello. Yan Kun shook hands with those people suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Can we have a chat on the side?" Ball smiled, "It's about your paper." ”

At this time, no matter how sluggish Yan Kun was, he understood that these Europeans must have taken a fancy to the patents in their hands.

"Long story short, Mr. Yan, we saw your research and Fix Chemical Industry is very interested. Mr. Eichendorf and Dr. Franz are both colleagues in my technology department, can you show us the full manuscript of your paper, and if the content is credible, we would like to obtain your technology transfer. Bauer said.

"Huh?" If it weren't for this morning's agreement, Yan Kun might have happily communicated with these people. But now, he was somewhat hesitant.

Seeing Yan Kun's hesitation, Bauer immediately persuaded: "The content of your paper can be filed with the organizing committee, you can rest assured that we have no intention of infringement." Just want to understand the value of your research, we can give the right price. ”

While plagiarism is ubiquitous in academia and in the marketplace, sometimes it's not that easy. For example, the paper will not be so detailed, and will never write out the details of the experiment in a wordy manner, let alone list the detailed experimental records. Therefore, if two papers are similar, one has a detailed experimental record and the other does not have any at all, it is easy to goof. In other words, it takes a certain amount of time to do repeated experiments.

But on the other hand, once you get the core content, as long as you have enough time, you can definitely repeat the experiment. In addition, a commercial enterprise like Fix Chemical does not care about its reputation at all. If you get Yan Kun's paper, of course, you can admit that you made the research. But if you don't apply for a patent, I'll squatively register it. To do such a thing, there is not the slightest psychological burden at all.

So here, this Mr. Bauer took advantage of this and wanted to trick Yan Kun into coming up with his research results. In fact, he will appear here today because of the topic and outline that Yan Kun sent at that time, and after searching for Fix Chemical, he found that there was no such patent at all. To be honest, if Yan Kun really communicates like this, it is very likely that he will not get a penny.

But now it's different, looking at Jing Jian, Yan Kun smiled and declined: "I'm sorry, you can listen to my report then." ”
