Chapter 094 Trading

In this era, many scholarly issues were communicated in the form of letters. C.G. Darwin cue Woodgate and Lee of Columbia University in his paper, and so far, Woodgate has not given any feedback, and Lee has decided to write a letter to C.G. Darwin.

"Dr. C. G. Darwin, I read with great interest your "My General Views on Quantum" published in Nature, and you say that each victory of quantum theory seems to emphasize these contradictions again, such as the experiment of space quantization completed by Woodgate and Lee of Columbia University in 1921."

"I don't agree too much with you, especially your views on the law of conservation. I think that to explain the theories that we know, it is necessary to observe both the conservation of energy and the conservation of momentum. My reasoning is this: consider an atom in a stationary state that absorbs at frequencies νa1, νa2、...... The radiation can complete the transition to a higher energy state through the emission frequencies νe1, νe2、...... The radiation can complete the spontaneous transition to a lower energy state. Following Einstein's method, we can deduce ......"

“…… Therefore, we should strictly enforce the law of conservation. ”

"Have a good day. Dr. K.P. Lee, New York. ”

Li Kangping sent the letter to England and then to the King's House.

After interviewing a technician at the King's Building, Mr. Li received a phone call.

The man on the phone said, "Hello, Dr. Lee, I'm Michael Freeman from RCA. ”

"Mr. Freeman, it's a pleasure to hear from you." Li Kangping knew this person, who was one of the RCA executives and had been in the newspaper.

"Dr. Li, I would like to invite you to come to the RCA building to talk, do I have this honor?"

"Mr. Freeman, it is my pleasure."

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or next Tuesday?"

"I think I'll have time tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The next day, Li Kangping came to RCA's headquarters building in Manhattan.

Michael Freeman wears glasses, his dark hair is neatly combed, he wears a bow tie, and he looks elegant, looking like a scholar.

"Dr. Lee, it's a pleasure for you to sit here and talk to me. I learned your attitude from Dr. Salman, and now, let's get straight to the point, and we want to work with you, which is a collaboration between RCA and Zeus Labs. ”

"Mr. Freeman, I do not refuse to work with RCA, and I am willing to work with RCA if --- terms of cooperation are beneficial to both parties."

"Very good, it seems that we have reached an agreement on the general direction, and then let's talk about the details, the ownership of the TV patent undoubtedly belongs to Zeus Labs, and the RCA wants to get the exclusive right to use the TV patent, such conditions, Dr. Li, do you think it is beneficial to both parties?"

"I think it's appropriate."

"As far as I know, counting you, there are only three technicians in Zeus Lab at the moment?"

"The number of technicians in our lab will be increasing to 10 to 12 in the near future."

"We all know that a team of a dozen people can complete any academic research experiment, such as the Woodgate-Lee experiment. You can also invent a small-scale demonstration device, such as the one you demo in a shopping mall. However, if you want to make a TV into a radio-like commodity, a technical development team of a dozen people is not enough. Dr. Lee, I've got over a hundred resumes of engineers here, and I assure you, they're all excellent, and you can bring them all back to Queens, and they're still paid by RCA, and what you're going to do is direct them to do the technology according to your ideas. Michael Freeman patted a thick pile of papers, which were more than 100 good engineers.

Li Kangping said politely: "Mr. Freeman, I appreciate your kindness, but I hope these resumes will remain with you, and I will expand my technical team through my own means." You know, I have my own set of selection criteria. ”

"Really? Then I respect your way. Michael Freeman said quietly, "Anyway, you should expand your engineering team as soon as possible, and after your engineering team is formed, the first thing you need to do is improve the cable TV system, since the telephone sound can be transmitted from New York to San Francisco, and even to London, then the cable TV picture should also be transmitted." At the same time, you're also going to start researching the feasibility of a TVB system, so, Dr. Lee, you're going to be busy. ”

Michael Freeman seems to be teaching Lee to do things.

It's no surprise that large companies in the U.S. often teach small companies to do things.

Li Kangping accepted Michael Freeman's suggestion, and on behalf of Zeus Laboratories, he signed a cooperation agreement with RCA for the TV system development project.

RCA obtained the exclusive right to use the Zeus Labs TV patent, and the contract did not specify the price of the exclusivity, and the agreement between the two parties was that when the TV became a real commodity, we would talk about the price of the patent right, and now the focus is that we want to make the TV a commodity.

Michael Freeman continued to teach Lee to do things.

Michael Freeman believes that Zeus Labs' technical team should not be less than 100 people, and these technicians are paid $1,500 a year.

RCA invested $200,000 in Zeus Labs, of which $150,000 was used to pay the salaries of the technicians and the remaining $50,000 to purchase the necessary equipment.

RCA showed sincerity, and this sincerity is worth up to $200,000--- and this is only RCA's initial investment in Zeus Labs.

In exchange, Zeus Labs paid nothing more than the exclusive right to use the TV patent. Li Kangping can fully accept this result.

Is RCA doing charity?

Lee Kangping doesn't think RCA will be so kind – even though RCA seems kind now.

When demons tempt you, they usually appear as kind and lovable.

When will the devil reveal his true face?

Li Kangping didn't know either.

Kangping wants to be a good person, but Kangping doesn't have a choice before being a good person.

Zeus Labs, Manhattan Zeus must go through this step on the road to becoming bigger and stronger---- make a deal with the devil.

This step is both risky and rewarding.

In any case, $200,000 is not a small amount of money for Zeus Labs.

Li Kangping did things according to the way Michael Freeman taught, and the technicians of Zeus Laboratory were quickly replenished in a short period of time.

Americans, Germans, Russians, Italians, Hungarians, Greeks...... The staff of Zeus Lab has grown to 43 people, and it is a multinational force, mostly composed of American nationals from different countries and nationalities.

Zeus Labs has been registered under the corporate model, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zeus Corporation in Manhattan.

Dr. Li Kangping, Chairman and President of Manhattan Zeus Corporation, is also the director of Zeus Laboratory, and the position of deputy director of the laboratory is temporarily vacant.

On this day, Li Kangping summoned Theodore and Alex at the King's Building.

Theodore and Alex saw with their own eyes that the number of Zeus Labs in a short period of time has changed from 3 to 43.

They knew that Dr. Li had reached an agreement with RCA, and Zeus Labs' strength on paper had grown rapidly, thanks to RCA's investment.

"I must admit that the American spirit of advocating science and the efficiency of science deserve recognition." Li Kangping said, "In the summer, there were only two people in the Zeus Laboratory, Theodore and I, and in the autumn, we welcomed Alex. With winter approaching in the northeastern United States, our lab has expanded to 43 people, which is a reflection of our commitment to science and efficiency. ”

"Of course, the technical team of dozens of people is still weak compared to large companies, but we have the initial strength to develop TV systems. Theodore, Alex, I am grateful that you joined Zeus Lab during a time when it was in a blank spot, and your efforts will be rewarded. ”

"I don't know how much the RCA will pay for the exclusive right to use the TV patent, and if they pay $1 million in a lump sum, then each of you will be rewarded with $100,000. If they pay a dollar, then you each get 10 cents. Is this a ratio acceptable to you? ”

"Oh my God, oh my God......" Theodore closed his mouth in surprise, he used "my God" a lot, and he only seemed to use this phrase to express his excitement.
