Chapter 273: Actually, It's Just My Hobby
Before the report meeting began, Lu Zhou had considered many situations, but he did not expect this to be the case.
As he left the venue, there was another round of applause behind him, sending him out the door.
In fact, although the bulls like to tear up at MRS meetings, even if they tear, it is based on the premise of understanding. If you don't know, you don't have the right to speak, and this is the same whether it is a meeting of the Mathematical Society or a meeting of the Materials Society.
Although Lu Zhou's report is in the direction of lithium battery, its theory is based on the emerging discipline of computational materials science, which is so young that the researchers here have not learned much about it, let alone in-depth research.
. Sha is such a great god, but computational materials science, maybe Lu Zhou himself didn't realize that he just published a paper and opened a report meeting, as if he had become a "benchmark" for this unpopular discipline.
Even if someone is confused by his mathematical model, no one has the courage to stand up.
Because the results are here, and they are such a big achievement.
It's like Ma Yun said that she doesn't love money, and other people can only shut up even if they don't believe it.
Because the results are irrefutable.
Stopping the applause, Liu Bo, who was sitting at the back of the lecture hall, stared at the blackboard and pretended to sigh.
"Wonderful......"
However, before he could finish speaking, Professor Li Rongen, who was sitting next to him, interrupted him.
"You're big, do you understand? Tell me? ”
was sprayed by the boss, Liu Bo smiled and closed his mouth.
Unlike Professor Qian Zhongming and Professor Li Rongen, his undergraduate study of Yinghua is slightly inferior to those bigwigs who do condensed matter in the Jinda Institute of Physics.
Obviously, the boss didn't understand, and he still didn't pretend.
Sitting next to him, Qian Zhongming stopped the pen in his hand and stared at the whiteboard written on three sides of the podium in silence for a long time.
After a long time, he finally sighed.
"Very strong ......"
The attitude towards this person is obviously different, and Professor Li Rongen asked with a smile: "Understand?" ”
"Half of it is equivalent to not understanding."
Qian Zhongming shook his head, closed his notebook, and stood up.
Professor Li: "Where are you going?" ”
Qian Zhongming: "There are a few questions I don't understand, I plan to ask him." ”
Professor Li smiled, shook his head and said, "Wait for two days, he is estimated to be very busy in the past two days, I'm afraid I won't have time to discuss these things with you." ”
Qian Zhongming was slightly stunned, not understanding why.
Professor Li didn't explain, and stood up with a smile, "Let's go, it's time for dinner, and I'll take you to eat Boston lobster." As for Professor Lu of our Golden University, I will take you to visit him in a few days. ”
This is also true, although Lu Zhou currently teaches at Princeton, but hangs the title of honorary professor. Although there is a suspicion of giving gold to his own university, who can stand up and say that an honorary professor is not a professor?
As for the other point, I have to admit that Professor Li was indeed very prescient.
At this moment, Lu Zhou really can't spare his hands to discuss the problem of computational materials.
He had just walked out of the lecture hall on his front feet, and before he had taken a few steps, he was surrounded by people who had caught up.
"Professor Lu Zhou, do you have time now, I would like to discuss with you about the mathematical model you just presented at the report meeting."
"Hello, I am the CEO of DigiLen Nanotechnology Co., Ltd., I wonder if you are interested in the identity of the technical director of materials R&D? We can offer you a salary of one million dollars per year, plus an option ...... of 5.6%"
Some want to communicate with him about academic issues, some plan to poach people with a high salary, and some even plan to apprentice on the spot.
A young lady with a sweet voice and a master's lady who is definitely a rare species in the field of materials science grabbed Lu Zhou's hand with a look of adoration.
"Land God! Do you have a computational materials science class at Princeton? Can I apply for your PhD? I will graduate today, can I add your > Looking at the master's sister, Lu Zhou said with a little headache.
"Of course, Princeton has a course on computational materials, but I'm a professor of mathematics and I mainly teach number theory."
The young lady's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Aren't you going to open a course in computational materials?" With your strength, there is no doubt that you can become a leader in this industry. ”
Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "Although my research interests include functional analysis, complex analysis, and harmonic analysis, computational materials science, which is more specific to the application level, is just my hobby. Until I am fully prepared, I am not going to mislead people with imperfect doctrines for the time being. ”
Although he knew that he had the capital to pretend to be forced, those doctors and masters who were really engaged in computational materials couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts after hearing this.
MMP!
Do you call this a hobby?
Why don't you go to heaven?
In short, when Lu Zhou got rid of these people, it was already half an hour later.
Dragging his somewhat tired body back to the hotel, Lu Zhou took a shower and sobered up, then changed into clean clothes and went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.
Although there is also a working meal for each scholar who attends the poster presentation and presentation at the MRS venue, it is clear that the organizers will not arrange Lu Zhou there.
All the invited speakers and some important guests were arranged to eat at the five-star hotel next to the venue, which is where he stayed, and he had to be invited to enter.
The reason for this arrangement is to provide a quiet dining environment for these big cattle, and on the other hand, to give academia and industry a space to contact.
After all, no one wants to be interrupted by some boring trivial matter when talking about a business involving tens of millions of dollars in economic transactions.
So far, the reaction of industry has been somewhat pretentious, but the lessons of the past have kept them calm.
However, Lu Zhou estimated that this calmness should have been exhausted.
Sure enough, just as he added a Boston lobster the size of two fists to his plate with a tong, and then found a comfortable seat in the lobby buffet to sit down, a person of sufficient weight immediately walked over to him with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Professor Lu, I'm Maurice Carodiet, CEO of Umicore in Belgium, can I sit across from you?"
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Absolutely."
Sitting across from Lu Zhou, Mr. Carrodit politely handed over the business card in his hand.
"Thanks, here's my business card."
Lu Zhou took the business card and looked at it, then put it in his pocket.
After all, it is an industry giant, and he has heard of this company. After acquiring the patent license for lithium iron phosphate for tens of millions of dollars in 11 years, the Belgian chemical giant began to enter the production of cathode materials.
Then, in less than a year, it reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the famous material giant 3M in the United States, relying on 3M's customer resources and its own strong strength in the chemical field, surpassing Nichia Chemical to become the world's largest supplier of lithium-ion battery cathode materials.
As for why it is the cathode material giant, not the anode material giant, it is also expected by Lu Zhou.
Because at present, the anode materials of lithium-ion batteries are mainly artificial graphite and natural graphite, which has nothing to do with lithium materials.
It is precisely for this reason that the chemical giants that produce anode materials are keen on the research and development of lithium batteries.
As early as 15 years, after reaching a strategic cooperation agreement with Argonne National Laboratory in the United States for lithium battery research and development, Umicore has always been ambitious in the field of lithium battery.
If the industry eliminates the graphite anode materials that have been used for more than 20 years and adopts more advanced lithium anode materials, there is no doubt that it has accumulated rich experience in the production of lithium materials, and it will usher in the best opportunity to enter the anode material market.
At least, it can't fall behind its old rival Nichia Chemical in any way.
It was precisely for this reason that Mr. Carrodit was not willing to wait even one night, and almost as soon as the report meeting was over, he hurried to visit Lu Zhou.
It would be best if you could buy the patent directly at a premium.
Of course, even if the purchase price is not negotiable, it is good to get the patent authorization as soon as possible.
After all, getting the patent authorization one step earlier means that you can get orders from major customers such as Panasonic, BYD, LG, Sony, and Samsung one step earlier......
