Chapter 110: Sky-high dividends
With Anton. With the help of Vanke, the power supply problem has finally been solved.
"Good, good!" Looking at the sample machine in his hand, Conrad said excitedly.
Heidi. Rama stood in front of him with a flushed face to accept the appreciation, and his mood was even more excited than Conrad's.
"Fellman, is the power of attorney for the patent application ready?" Putting down the sample machine, which was not much different from the big brother in his memory, Conrad asked the lawyer beside him.
For these researchers, it is naturally essential to use their knowledge to earn a good living, but for those who are truly geniuses, they prefer that their names will be immortalized in the annals of history.
Of course, Conrad would not do that kind of stupid thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, now is the time for him to recruit talent, and it is absolutely impossible for him to destroy the Great Wall for such a small profit.
So when Fehrman pulled out the long list of patent application creators, everyone in the entire R&D room was boiling!
Even Anton. Vanke was a little surprised that his name was ranked third, only in Heidi. Rama and Henry. After McCoy.
You must know that he is an expert of the Stark Group, and this time to help solve the battery problem is also a transaction between two large companies. Vanke never imagined that it would be able to leave its name on the patent authorization letter.
"Duke Weting, what's so embarrassing?" Anton. Vanke's back molars were about to be exposed, but in his mouth, he still said words that he was ashamed to be.
Who said that the hairy bear is not fake?
Now whoever dares to cross his name off this list, it is estimated that Anton. Vanke can incarnate as a Hulk forty years in advance, and let the other party know what the anger of a hairy bear is!
Mobile phones, this is definitely an invention that can change the world, this kind of rich and famous good thing, a fool will let it!
"Very well, if you don't have any opinion on this patent authorization letter, then please come and sign these two documents!" After everyone's enthusiasm had been aroused, Conrad motioned for Fellman to continue taking out the remaining two documents.
Heidi. Rama, as the lead patenter for mobile phone patents, was naturally the first to sign.
The first document was a non-disclosure agreement, which guaranteed that the signatory would not leak all the data about the test for 30 years, which was basically a routine operation, so she signed it without even thinking about it.
And the second document!
"Lord Duke, did you take it by mistake?" Heidi. Rama looked at the patent dividend book in his hand and asked emotionally.
What's going on?
The people who were still in a state of frenzy suddenly calmed down, although it is good to leave a name in history, but if you can't get enough pay, it will also be very depressing.
At least everyone still has wives and children to support, and the standard of living in Manhattan is so high, if you can't get enough salary, life will be very difficult!
Everyone immediately looks at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.
Could it be that although this Duke seems polite, he is actually an evil capitalist who eats people and does not spit out bones?
"That's right, Heidi, we've been friends for three years, and I can't cheat you." Conrad smiled and nodded, not paying any attention to the suspicious gaze below.
"Well, Lord Duke, this agreement of yours is really amazing!" Heidi. Rama looked at the dividend book in front of him and said with a trembling body.
"You deserve it, choose for yourself!" Conrad smiled and said with a nonchalant shrug.
"I ...... I ...... "Heidi. Rama looked at the choice in front of him for a moment, and he was a little confused.
"What the hell?" Anton. Vanke couldn't hold back his curiosity at this time, and stood directly to Heidi. Behind Rama, I want to see what is written.
Anyway, he is a technical expert sent from abroad, although his name will be signed on the patent, but the dividend is absolutely not shared, so he is not afraid of others gossiping about him.
"It's ...... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven? The eight-figure amount instantly blinded Anton. Vanke's eyes, as a top physicist, he can directly calculate calculations within ten digits, but looking at Heidi. Which line of numbers in front of Rama was bright, and for the first time, the Russian woolly bear felt that he was a little dizzy!
Twenty million dollars, not to mention Anton. Vanke, a poor ghost, even Heidi. Ramadu felt a little incredible.
You must know that the most expensive actress in the entire Hollywood at the moment Elizabeth. Taylor, the just-filmed epic "Cleopatra" has just reached a salary of one million dollars.
And that movie took her four years, even in Heidi. Before Rama joined Conrad's lab, Elizabeth Brown. Taylor was already shooting in the studio.
Follow Heidi. Rama's original budget, if he could get seven or eight hundred thousand, he would already be regarded as burning incense!
After all, although it is said that the big capitalists are making a lot of money these days, the scientists who really do research do not get much money at all.
It's like Comrade Edison, the inventor who died 30 years ago, who claimed to have more than 1,000 inventions in his lifetime, but in fact at least 800 of them were made for him by his scientific research team.
And he was also notoriously stingy and mean, Nikolai. The reason why Tesla broke with Edison was mainly because when he built a DC generator according to the regulations, Edison not only did not pay him a bonus of 50,000 US dollars as agreed, but even refused the other party's request to increase his salary by seven yuan a month!
Yes, you read that right, Nikolai . Tesla asked to increase his salary from 18 yuan a month to 25 yuan, but Edison refused!
Of course, it was said that it was the price of 50 years ago, but the seven yuan is only worth 70 yuan now!
"Sign it! Heidi, they're all waiting! Conrad smiled at Heidi. Rama said.
It may be that for capitalists like Edison or Rockson or Howard, taking in their own maximum profits is the basis of their life, but for Conrad, it is completely a matter of sacrificing the basics.
If his goal is only to become the richest man in the world, then with his preview of world finance, he can easily achieve that goal within ten years.
But for Conrad, who has the whole world in his heart, money is not that important at all!
You only give up 10% of your profits, you can recruit a group of desperate subordinates, and by the way, you can also build your reputation for generosity, why not?
