"Boss, let me introduce you, this is Professor Kony from our School of Physics that I mentioned to you last time! This is Mr. Yao Fei, the founder of Feiyue Technology, and their company is about to move here, which is the land between Intel and AMD! ”

Before coming to San Francisco, Yao Fei had already called Brady, the processing base has broken ground, and the gap of high-end research and technical personnel is not too big, especially in the upstream industry of the electronics industry, polysilicon companies with low production technology level and small output can still find a few to come out, but monocrystalline silicon, except for a limited number of secret research institutes, can produce more than ten tons a year on a small scale, and it is not seen on the market at all.

To tell the truth, the mainland's science and technology is actually not bad, and the system is relatively sound, what is really worse than foreign countries, that is, it has done a very poor job in transforming technology into products, of course, this is also related to the understanding of the society, the research institute is dedicated to research, anyway, it is the state's money, there is no need to worry about the problem of research funds not being found.

"Professor Kony, it's a great honor to meet you, I've often heard Professor Brady mention you as an expert in polysilicon production and liquid crystal material imaging technology!"

Everyone likes to be touted, and after Yao Fei's praise, the smile on the other party's face is obviously a lot bigger.

"Thank you, Mr. Yao Fei, I am also very honored to meet you!"

Professor Kony was in a good mood and was very polite to Yao Fei.

"Boss, yesterday on the phone, you said you just arrived here from Washington yesterday?"

The headquarters of Feiyue Technology is still in New York, and it stands to reason that even if Yao Fei returns to the United States, the location he chooses to settle in should be San Francisco, even if it is not New York. Washington is where politicians gather, and it's where the tech rival company IBM can eat.

"Yes. This time, I mainly wanted to talk to Mr. Kony about cooperation. In addition, I would like to learn about the new research results of our monocrystalline silicon laboratory during this time, and Mr. Santos has three employees from our company who have been sent to study, and I plan to take them back to Chinese mainland this time, where our company has invested in a multi-billion dollar electronics base! ”

If it weren't for the fact that Brady was an older middle-aged man, Yao Fei really wanted to go up and kiss him, he was so understanding, he was just about to talk about it, and people had already mentioned it.

"Mr. Yao Fei, I don't know how you want to cooperate with me?"

Collaborations between companies and university professors have never been uncommon in the magical land of Silicon Valley. As long as the conditions given are suitable, even if the family resigns, it is not a big deal in this pragmatic land.

"The first of the three ways is a kind of cooperation with Professor Brady, where we provide all the necessary conditions for the experiment, as well as monthly salaries and bonuses, but the results of the experiment are owned by our company.

In the second way, our company helps professors set up laboratories. Follow-up research funding is provided, but we need to specify the scope of the research, and we will evaluate the research results obtained by the professors accordingly. And with the right of first refusal, when the professor obtains the value of the results and the amount of our investment, the laboratory will belong to the professor at that time.

The third way. We just want to ask the professor to work in Chinese mainland with us, and our company is willing to give the professor an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars. The bonus is ...... separately"

For helping the company complete the strategic layout, Yao Fei has never been stingy with resources. What's more, they are not short of money at all now, and they may want to build a high-standard laboratory in the mainland because of the difficulty of equipment, but in this Silicon Valley, it is not too simple, as long as they can afford it, they can have as much as they want.

"Mr. Yao Fei, if I choose the second way of cooperation, what is the research scope specified by your company?"

The second of the three ways of working together is to have your own lab if all goes well, which is undoubtedly the most tempting, and to be a professor at Stanford, as long as the research is within the scope of his specialty, Professor Kony has enough confidence in himself.

"Of course, we choose professors who specialize in areas of expertise, such as the working production methods of polysilicon, the imaging technology of liquid crystal materials, ......."

Since you are looking for other professors to talk about cooperation, you must be cooperating in the field of the other party's specialty, otherwise you and an expert in physics to study computer software problems, isn't this Fan Er's stupid behavior?

"If we work together, your company should first need me to do research on the production of polysilicon industry, right?"

Renjia is engaged in electronic products, and now it has invested in an industrial base, and the research work of monocrystalline silicon Professor Brady has been doing, so it is obvious that if you want to form an industrial chain in the end, the study of polysilicon is the next inevitable choice.

"Yes, although our company is also very optimistic about the development of liquid crystal imaging technology, it is not something we urgently need compared to the industrial production technology of polysilicon.

And in order to help professors get the corresponding research results in the shortest possible time, our company will provide some very necessary theoretical and technical ......"

Just when Kony was still considering the way of cooperation and the scope of research, Yao Fei gave an irresistible cooperation condition, saying that scientific research is extremely difficult, and the most important thing is the support of theory, which is related to the general directional problem.

If you have to use a metaphor to describe the importance of theoretical support, it is like two people walking from Hong Kong to Shenzhen at the same time, one holds a map and the other does not have a map, the person with the map will definitely not take many unjust roads, but the person without the map, even if he is constantly asking people for directions in the process of walking, not to mention the time it takes to reach the destination, even if he is lost in the middle of the road, it is not impossible to do so.

"I often hear Brady mention that Mr. Yao Fei has many very ingenious methods in the growth of high-purity monocrystalline silicon, so in terms of industrial production of polysilicon, I wonder if Mr. Yao Fei has any thoughts on this?"

As soon as he heard that Yao Fei would provide him with theoretical and technical support, Kony's sense of expectation suddenly increased a lot, if the other party really had any more feasible ideas, then when the time came to actually implement it, it would be able to help him get twice the result with half the effort.

"Professor, before discussing this issue again, I would like to ask which technology is the most effective, mature and widely used in the manufacture of polysilicon?"

Yao Fei asked knowingly.

"Of course, the Siemens process is improved, and the polysilicon produced by this method accounts for about 85% of the total global polysilicon production......

Although Konecranes is currently interested in liquid crystal material imaging technology, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the development of the polysilicon industry.

"Very good, I wonder if the professor has ever thought about using the silane method, as well as a more advanced and environmentally friendly metallurgical method?" (To be continued......)
