Chapter 99: Shotguns for Cannons

After having a clear target for practice, Gu Wan's teachers and seniors naturally worked more diligently, and in just one and a half months, the prototype debugging work was completed ahead of schedule.

The project inspectors sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology were very satisfied with the results, and took the machine to the Jiangnan Prefecture Museum nearby, picked a few antiquities and tested them internally, and the C14 isotope abundance was indeed very accurate.

Tuesday, August 17. A week before going to Japan, with the acceptance passed, all the settlement payments were finally paid to Gu Wan's contracting company.

His mother Ye Di helped him deal with the relevant legal handover affairs, and his cousin Zhou Xuan helped him make a cameo appearance in finances, and everything finally went smoothly.

According to the contract and contract agreement signed at the beginning, the Ministry of Science and Technology gave a special loan equivalent to 30 million US dollars in the early stage for the contracting company of Guwan to develop AMS, and this payment also included the manufacture of the first prototype.

As long as the acceptance is passed, the Ministry of Science and Technology will officially invest 30 million US dollars to buy the prototype and all the technical achievements and domestic patent rights. But in fact, he just memorized Gu Wan's loan repayment obligation, because he had already paid the money once.

However, Guwan can also retain the right to use this technology, share it with the Ministry of Science and Technology in the domestic market, and exclusively enjoy patents in overseas markets - patents in any country are applied for on a country-by-country basis. If you have a technology that has been protected by a patent in an Eastern country, it does not mean that it is also protected in Oceania or Fuso, and those places have to be applied for separately.

Before Gu Play contracted, the Ministry of Science and Technology did not think that "eggs can't be put in one basket", for example, Director Sun of the Institute of Atomic Control of the University, who once wanted to join forces with Wang Jingming to intercept Hu Gu's play, was a spare tire.

But if it is handed over to Director Sun, maybe 50 million US dollars will not be able to come down, and the time is not guaranteed, so the Ministry of Science and Technology can only pinch its nose and bet on Gu Play and Dean Ding.

In addition, in addition to overseas patent rights, Gu Play also has another major income, that is, after signing the contract agreement, the R & D cost is lower than the budget.

Gu Wan did not sign the model of "sub-project quantity valuation/actual reimbursement", and he also took the risk. If he overspends, the Ministry of Science and Technology will not give him more, and he will have to bear it himself, so this is fair, and no one can beep.

In the end, Gu Yu spent only $24 million to get the job done, and the Ministry of Science and Technology gave him 30 million, and he personally made a net profit of $6 million.

Later, the Ministry of Science and Technology placed an order for a second finished product as a spare tire, and the price of Gu Wankai was 5 million US dollars, and the other party also recognized it and happily purchased it. And the cost of Gu Play is only about 2 million, and this part makes an extra 3 million US dollars.

Coupled with the original principal of more than 1 million US dollars, after the project was completely settled, the cash flow of his technology contracting company exceeded 10 million US dollars.

It's all about playing with your own money.

In fact, if he is more black-hearted, it is not impossible for the total assets to rush to 12 million - because he has calculated that in terms of R&D costs, it is completely minimized, in fact, more than 22 million US dollars, it can be done, and it can be nearly 2 million US dollars less than the current quota.

But that would mean squeezing all the other researchers involved.

For example, a death allowance of two or three thousand yuan a month is given to doctoral students, and a salary of eight thousand yuan is paid to researchers/associate researchers.

This kind of thing, Gu Play can't do it. What's more, this time it is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, and even the progress cannot be delayed.

If you don't stimulate the motivation and subjective initiative of your subordinates, you won't know if you will be killed when the time comes.

Therefore, when you eat meat yourself, you still have to give some soup to your subordinates.

The additional expenses of nearly 2 million US dollars are the benefits of sharing profits with dozens of scientific researchers up and down in the past six months, as well as related technicians/technicians during the follow-up factory trial production.

In the past six months, the twenty or thirty doctoral students who participated in the project have received a monthly allowance of 10,000 yuan per person, and no matter how well they perform, they will have an additional bonus of at least 50,000 yuan when the project is successful (if it is not completed on time, the 50,000 yuan will be gone)

If you perform well, the final project award can be doubled or even quadrupled to 200,000.

Therefore, those doctoral students, who basically perform averagely, can have a total income of 150,000 RMB/20,000 US dollars. It is not lower than the salary of their formal employment after graduating from HKUST.

As for those associate researchers, each of them finally got more than 500,000 yuan, and the researchers led by Director Shi even had one or two million yuan.

It was the incentives given to these people that they cumulatively divided nearly 2 million US dollars/equivalent to 15 million yuan.

……

"So, in the end, I made a net profit of $9 million in the difference in contract price, and I still have the exclusive right to AMS's overseas patents. ”

After calculating the account that his cousin reported to him, Gu Yu summed it up, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with this result.

Finally, he became a millionaire.

With this large amount of money, when you work on the next project in the future, you will be less dependent on the financial world.

Think about it on the earth, in 99, Boss Ma engaged in Ahri Baba, but he only took 20 million US dollars in financing from Sun Zhengyi, and Boss Li also used 20 million US dollars to survive the Internet winter.

Although the business model on the Blue Hole is ten or eight years ahead of the Earth, the Internet has become more popular. But 10 million dollars can still do a lot.

Even if it is not enough, as long as its own funds exceed 30%, Gu Play feels that everything else can be solved by debt financing, such as mortgage loans, and at most convertible bonds without equity financing.

In this way, there is no fear of being taken away by speculative dogs and provoked the backlash of the ideological steel seal in the brain.

Of course, to speak a word of conscience, Gu Play was extremely disgusted with speculative and fraudulent dogs, even if he didn't have a thought seal, with his own positive three views, he would not let the deceptive dog hitchhike.

After all the funds were in place, Gu Wan also began to prepare for the formation of a group, bringing some well-behaved assistants, as well as his own confidants, relatives and friends, to go to Fusang Country to hang around and brush his face. If you are lucky, you can find a few big financiers who are willing to pay overseas and buy a few pieces of equipment, it will be even more beautiful, with a net profit of at least $2 million per unit.

AMS this thing, without caring about the premise of playing around, let others do it, at least the research and development cost is more than 50 million US dollars, so most of the archaeological circles in various countries are not determined to engage in research, only the Eastern Kingdom encountered the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project" This super project, only hitchhiking.

However, after the successful research and development, if you only spend three or four million dollars to buy a machine to prepare, it will not take much, just the archaeological community of a large country, buy a town, then it is estimated that the archaeological circles of several economic powers, such as Oceania and Fuso, can still afford it. Gu Wan estimates that if this expo can make a big splash and attract the world's top 5 ancient civilizations and archaeology circles to buy one, there is still hope. (Although Oceania is only more than 200 years old, they have a lot of looted ancient artifacts that can be identified)

In a week, this year's Asia-Pacific Expo will open in Hakata City, Kitakyushu, and the related exhibition work will only be brought forward, so there is not much time for him.
