"So what do you think is the breakthrough?" Xu Guangxian was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically.

"This is divided into short-term and long-term." Zhong Bai replied calmly: "In the short term, it is necessary to find a way to make breakthroughs in the innovation of some primary processing links under the current situation of foreign patent barriers. In the long run, it is necessary to choose a reasonable, high-profit, influential rare earth high-end industry, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt its ten fingers, as long as it is selected, it is the initial investment is high, and the rate of return in the later stage is also amazing. What's more, as long as we make a product of the rare earth high-end industry, foreigners will no longer dare to despise us! ”

"Hiss~"

After listening to Zhong Bai's discussion, Xu Guangxian couldn't help but gasp!

This little section chief has a big heart!

Xu Guangxian suddenly realized something, and asked: "What you said about breaking through patent barriers, isn't it ......?" ”

"Yes, it is the low-temperature roasting and decomposition process of sulfuric acid that we have been studying during this time!" Zhong Bai nodded firmly.

"But this ...... We haven't experimented yet, let alone entered the actual production verification, and ......" Xu Guangxian hesitated: "Isn't this the first discovery by the French?" Isn't it a bit ...... for us to just take it and make it our own patent?"

Zhong Bai knew that Xu Guangxian would say this, but he already had the answer in his heart: "Academician Xu, the experimental equipment will arrive in the factory at noon, and we can carry out the experiment immediately, and there can be no accident in the experimental results, so we can continue to enter the production process synchronously, as for the French you mentioned, ......."

"They found out first but didn't preemptively register the patent, doesn't that give us a chance?" Zhong Bai smiled and said: "Everyone has the right to register a patent, why should they give it to the French?" ”

The explanation of "this ......" is almost vernacular, so Xu Guangxian doesn't know what to say.

At this time, Yu Dongfeng jumped out again: "Academician Xu, it is not a problem to register a foreign patent, you may not know that Zhong Bai is the first person in China to register a foreign individual patent, and the Huaxi Machinery Factory under our group, the mainstream product DWX series hydraulic strut currently produced, has already completed the company's patent registration at the Swiss Patent Office, and we have always been in contact with the Swiss Patent Office, and it is not so difficult to have acquaintances to do things." ”

"You were the first person to register a foreign individual patent?!" Xu Guangxian had already opened his mouth wide.

"Yes, patent No. 3702 in the field of nitrogen fertilizer production has earned more than one million dollars in foreign exchange earnings for our country through this patent, but the ministry is very low-key and does not publicize it. I don't have any relevant information, but you should be able to find it through the relevant channels when you return to the capital. ”

Zhong Bai generously admitted this, this is not deliberately pretending to be forced in front of Academician Xu Guangxian, but he wants to use this example to influence Academician Xu's views on patents!

You must know that Xu Guangxian in his previous life, because under the planning system, the production process he invented did not obtain patent protection in China, so Xu Guangxian himself has always maintained a negative attitude towards patents.

He is very angry at the monopoly of foreign companies in the patent field, and he feels sad about the practice of not protecting patents in China, which is Xu Guangxian in the past.

But now it's different, Zhong Bai said himself as an example, and clearly told him that although the country did not take the initiative to publicize, it was definitely optimistic about the foreign exchange income generated in this area.

Xu Guang was shaken first, and this time he really wavered.

The guilt of using someone else's basis to carry forward his own patent squatting seemed to disappear from his mind in an instant, but it was the effect of generating foreign exchange income for the country, which made him look forward to it!

As an academician, Xu Guangxian has never considered the benefits of registering patents to individuals, and he only considers whether patents are helpful to the development of the domestic rare earth industry.

Judging from Zhong Bai's current response, it is not only beneficial, but also a great benefit!

"So, maybe this piece can really be used in the name of Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant to register a company patent abroad?" After thinking about it, Xu Guangxian finally took the first step and asked Zhong Bai cautiously.

"You don't need to use the name of the company, you can use it in your own name." Of course Zhong Bai wouldn't agree, this should have been what Xu Guangxian proposed in 1995, and he was just a porter of time and space, and he had advanced it by so many years.

"That doesn't work, how can I keep this thing for myself!" Xu Guangxian hurriedly shook his head and said.

Of course, Zhong Bai continued to persuade, but Xu Guangxian resolutely refused to accept it, and the old and the young were in this tug of war for ten minutes without a certain result.

However, Yu Dongfeng next to him had to stand up at this time and said: "Zhong Bai, Academician Xu, I don't think the two of you need to be entangled in this matter first, now our most important goal is not to do experiments first?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes! Has the equipment arrived? Xu Guangxian also felt that he was in a hurry, and slapped his head and said.

Yu Dongfeng looked at his watch and said, "It should be about the same, I said that I could arrive at noon, but now it's eleven o'clock, I don't know ......."

At the moment when he hesitated, the door of the office was pushed open, and the factory director Zhou Changqing looked left and right, and after seeing the position of the three people, he waved at them and shouted: "The car from the post office has arrived in the factory!" ”

The three people who were still chatting stood up in unison and went straight to the door of the office!

……

Regarding Zhong Bai's ability to get sponsorship, the comments of the students in the training class were mixed.

For people like Mi Bin, who are already a little superstitious about Zhong Bai, they are naturally a group of people who are promoting everywhere and are cheerful.

But people like Yan Yutian who have prejudices against Zhong Bai don't comment on the surface, but in their hearts they feel that this son is too slippery, and in order to please Academician Xu, he didn't hesitate to use his connections to bring in 70,000 yuan of sponsorship? Crazy!

However, these have no effect on Zhong Bai, and there is only one thing he is focusing on now, that is, whether the next sulfuric acid low-temperature roasting and decomposition process can be successful as soon as possible when it enters the experimental stage.

It didn't take much time to decide on the location of the laboratory, as it had already been decided in the first two days.

At Xu Guangxian's suggestion, Zhou Changqing set aside one of the two former decomposition workshops as a laboratory – anyway, a large part of the radioactive waste has not had time to be disposed of, so it should be reduced in capacity.

With the joint efforts of workers and students, the assembly work was basically completed in one afternoon.

Although Xu Guangxian is 62 years old, his spirit of exploring rare earth science is very comparable, and he insists on starting the experiment after dinner today!
