Chapter 20 Research on Rocket Recovery
Chapter 20: A Chance to Become a Multimillionaire
In fact, the next period of time was really like what Dan said, as the news spread, and there were a few hot girls who matched Link's aesthetic after personally verifying.
Link, from being one of the more popular people in the school at the beginning, has really become the undoubted school grass, and at the same time, it has also ushered in more malice from boys.
In such a situation, even Link's previous prestige could not intimidate everyone, and even a few rugby players got together and blocked Link in an alley after school.
It's a pity that Link's fighting skills have never been pulled down, and the mixed martial arts ability evaluated at the first glance is not something that these guys who only know how to use brute force can resist.
Although rugby, as the first sport in the United States, advocates the collision of powers, and the physical fitness of rugby players is very strong.
But Link's strength and agility have already surpassed these people, plus these guys can only use brute force, even if a few people get together, they only hold on to a few more moves before they all fall down with bruises and swollen eyes.
After the failure of these people, Link became more popular, and at the same time, Link really ushered in the colorful high school life in the United States.
Even he was a little addicted to it for a while, and it wasn't until a conversation with Sheldon one day that he restrained himself.
"So, just because that doctor at NASA coaxed you like a child, in order to prove that he was wrong and you were right, you considered completing the math related to rocket recovery?"
"That's true, but it's so computationally intensive, so I need a computer to solve the Navi Stoker equation, and I asked my dad and grandma, and they don't have enough money.
Just as I remembered that you helped Rena with tutoring, and it seemed that you had a good income, maybe you could sponsor me. ”
"A computer ......" In the past few years, personal computers and networks have begun to gradually appear in the United States, but because he is used to the computers of the previous life, the current computer Link has some disdain, so he does not pay too much attention, so he asks: "How much does a computer cost now?" ”
"Right now Apple has a nice PC that costs $2,000, but I need a computer for $3 million."
"Are you kidding Sheldon!" Link said directly:
"If it's just the Apple computer you mentioned, the money I've saved in the past two years is enough, or you can wait for ten years, and then I can directly give you a $3 million ...... Wait, are you serious and intend to complete the math in question? ”
"That's right, it's just that I'm stuck on the funding side right now, so I'm thinking about it!" Sheldon said directly.
With Sheldon's words, Link finally remembered the relevant plot at this time.
Sheldon eventually used the network to access the Johnson Space Center's server, obtained the relevant data, performed relevant calculations, and then completed the rocket recovery related technology.
Sheldon sent his work to NASA, only to have it stolen by someone whose name he couldn't remember, who became a well-known and groundbreaking scientist and started his own business.
Although he doesn't know how much money the other party has made with this technology, Link believes that as long as the patent is in hand, even if it is a related share, the income will never be less than tens of millions of dollars.
It's fair to say that Sheldon missed the opportunity to become a multimillionaire, and Link feels that he can help Sheldon and at the same time reap his own benefits in the process.
I always wanted to become a technology upstart, but now that I have such a good opportunity to make a lot of money in front of me, I have to intervene!
Fortunately, with the improvement of intelligence, Link's brain is getting better and better, and after careful recollection, he also remembers the general plot, so he didn't let this opportunity slip away.
After thinking about it for a moment, Link said, "I don't really have three million dollars, but I can do it for less, and I can invest in your research, but I want the final results to be shared." ”
"No, that's the result of my research!" Sheldon immediately refused.
After getting along for a long time, Link has learned about Sheldon's personality and naturally knows why he rejected his proposal, and immediately explained:
"Of course, this is your research results, and I don't mean sharing the honor of creating this method, but as your investor, after the research results come out, you can share your patent rights, and then get monetary benefits through patent rights.
In addition to investment, I also hope to be able to participate in research as your assistant, and I believe that my ability can also help in research. ”
"What are you capable of? Hehe. The disdain that Sheldon wanted to express at this time could be easily seen by anyone, so that Link couldn't help frowning, but fortunately, he also knew Sheldon's usual style, and he had the right to say that these words did not exist.
Sheldon thought about Link's proposal and continued:
"But your proposal is really good, you sponsor my research as an investor, and at the same time you can get income with the developer, which is also a common rule, and I don't care about money, good, we make a deal!"
"Great, in that case we need to draw up an investment agreement, I can contact a lawyer to help us draw up the agreement, and since we are underage, we may need our parents to sign it."
"Why leave it to a lawyer, I can draw up the agreement, and that's one of my favorite things."
"You can do it, but you don't have a lawyer's license, and I believe you don't plan to become a lawyer."
“…… You're right, so do as you say. ”
Two days later, at a law firm in the town, where Link and Sheldon had gathered and greeted each other, Coach George said to Robert:
"So Robert, you're also because of the kids...... Whimsy is here for you? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, Link has already explained to me that this is his investment, and the reason why we need to sign it is only because they are not yet underage, and the key is that he also uses the money he has saved, so I have no reason to object."
"Well, that's the biggest reason indeed, so Link, what do you really think of Sheldon'......"
"It's about the R&D calculations of the technology for recovering rockets."
"Yes, is this the research going to be successful?"
"Even if it didn't work out, my investment was just to help Sheldon buy a computer and equipment, and in the process, I was able to learn some computer programming and math from Sheldon.
You know, it's just a simple computer programming training, and if I go to a computer training class to sign up, it will cost at least hundreds of dollars, and I will only learn some basic knowledge.
Even if the research fails, I can still get the computer back, so I won't lose any calculation. ”
Coach George and Mary Cooper have always treated what the two of them are doing now like children are playing, and in fact Robert and Lisa are doing the same.
Regardless, they watched the lawyer draw up a professional contract and sign it as guardians of both parties.
