Walking into the laboratory and seeing the busy researchers, Zheng Shouyi nodded slightly.

At this time, Zheng Shouyi's assistant Ma Chen walked over quickly and said, "Professor, I have basically checked the company you asked me to check three days ago, and the information has been sent to your mailbox......

Zheng Shouyi walked to a laboratory table and said, "You can say it directly." ”

"Okay. Ma Chen reported: "This company called Black Bone Electronics Company belongs to a start-up company, there was no activity about them in the industry before, I checked their establishment time, according to the information disclosed on the website of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the company was established only for one month."

However, speaking of which, this company is just a subsidiary, and their parent company, Black Bone Technology Company, is a hegemon-level existence in the domestic smart bracelet field.

Even the products of high-tech companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi do not sell as well as them.

Also, I found out that the recent HBRM incident that is very popular in China is also related to them.

The pharmaceutical company that developed the HBRM molecule and hair growth lotion is an industry controlled by Black Bone Technology. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Shouyi looked surprised: "You mean, the health bracelet and the HBRM molecule are all related to this black bone company?"

When Ke Peng came to Zheng Shouyi at that time, he didn't reveal much information about Black Bone Technology Company, but said that they had great potential and strong capital, but they still needed a chief engineer and wanted to invite Zheng Shouyi to work in Yangcheng.

But Zheng Shouyi did not have the idea of abandoning his laboratory and going to Yangcheng to work, so he rejected Ke Peng's invitation.

However, in the end, Ma Chen was asked to check the foundation of this company.

Ma Chen said: "That's right, the most amazing thing is that this company has been established in a very short time, but in less than a year, they have achieved amazing achievements, and they also have close cooperation with the military in the health bracelet project." ”

"Okay, I see. Zheng Shouyi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"By the way, Professor, there is one more thing......" Ma Chen hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

Say. ”

"Mr. Chen, the person from UBI, just called. ”

"Chen Zhengyu, what did he say?" asked Zheng Shouyi.

"Mr. Chen didn't say anything, just asked you to call him back. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Zheng Shouyi nodded, and stayed in the laboratory for another ten minutes before returning to his office.

Sitting on the chair, taking a sip of strong tea, thinking of Ma Chen's words just now, Zheng Shouyi hesitated a little, took out his mobile phone and found a phone number from the address book, and dialed it.

"Professor Zheng, is that you?" After the phone was connected, a man's voice sounded on the other side.

"It's me, just now my assistant said that Mr. Chen called, I don't know what you are looking for me?" Zheng Shouyi said.

Chen Zhengyu said: "Professor Zheng, your laboratory has been studying fullerenes for three years, right?"

"There are still half a month to three years left. ”

"I want to know, in the past three years, how far have you reached in the research on fullerenes?"

Zheng Shouyi replied: "We have made great progress in the application of water-soluble fullerene derivatives and compositions in the preparation of drugs that inhibit tumor growth and metastasis.

In addition, we have also made a lot of breakthroughs in the preparation of fullerene polymer composite nanofibers, inorganic fullerene nanoparticles, fullerene superconducting materials containing magnesium oxide, phosphine-60 fullerene anionic phosphine ligands and their metal complexes. ”

Chen Zhengyu said slowly: "I mean, when will these studies be able to leave the laboratory and be put into practical commercial applications?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid it will take a little time, you also know that fullerene, a kind of nanomaterial, is a new material, and it is not easy to study, and there are certain difficulties, which I have already explained to you when you invested...... "Zheng Shouyi said.

Chen Zhengyu was silent for a few seconds and said: "Now, UBI has entered a new stage of development, and the company will strive to form a dual main business pattern of 'packaging materials + scientific and technological innovation services' in the next step to achieve the coordinated development of the dual main businesses."

It aims to continuously improve the company's scale, innovation ability and profitability, and maintain the industry benchmark in the field of domestic scientific and technological innovation services, and the leading position in the field of subdivided packaging.

So, with regard to investment in this new material, fullerene, we are going to stop. ”

Zheng Shouyi pondered for a long time, his voice did not fluctuate, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Chen Zhengyu sighed and said, "Professor Zheng, this matter is the unanimous decision of the board of directors, and I can't save it, so I can only say sorry to you."

I am optimistic about the prospect of fullerene, and I do intend to include it in a springboard for our company to enter the field of new materials.

But unfortunately, it is too difficult for this material to get out of the laboratory and go to the stage of industrial mass production in the short term.

Not only your Mizuki University, but also the fullerene laboratories of the other 11 universities that our company has invested in have not achieved very good results.

After several years, the investment of nearly one billion yuan did not bear fruit, and the shareholders had great opinions, so the project was cut. ”

Zheng Shouyi said: "I understand, although it is a pity that I did not continue to cooperate, but I still want to thank Mr. Chen and your company for their strong support to our laboratory in recent years. ”

"Okay, that's trouble. ”

Ending the call with Chen Zhengyu, Zheng Shouyi collapsed in his chair a little dejected.

Putting down the phone, I picked up my fingers and rubbed my temples that were a little bloodshot, and the taste in my heart was a little uncomfortable.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, when Chen Zhengyu was on the phone with him, he predicted that if there was no breakthrough in the experimental research on his side, it would be a matter of time before his sponsorship and investment were canceled.

It's just that he can't do this kind of thing, and although he has been improving the optimization of fullerene manufacturing methods, he has never made a good breakthrough.

At present, only the device of inorganic fullerene nanoparticles, arc method and laser evaporation method to prepare fullerene can be used, but compared with the mainstream fullerene combustion device, there is still a certain gap.

Moreover, in the separation and purification of fullerene C60, C70 and other target molecules, there has been no breakthrough, which makes Zheng Shouyi very headache, but he is unwilling to give up, and he doesn't know when it will be the end.

Just as Zheng Shouyi was staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Zheng Shouyi's eyes moved, he sat up straight, and reluctantly cheered up and said, "Please come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Ma Chen quickly walked in with three men.
