Three days later, Professor Gao's office!

Ye Fei pushed the door in from the outside wearing a white hexagram and said, "Professor Gao, you are looking for me." ”

"Sit!" Professor Gao pointed to the chair in front of him, then got up and went to the water dispenser, took a paper cup from the water dispenser, poured a cup of warm water for Ye Fei, and put it in front of Ye Fei.

Ye Fei picked up the cup, raised his head and drank the water dry.

Ye Fei has recently been studying the fusion of C72 fullerene and C72 non-fullerene.

As mentioned above, when Ye Fei was studying C60 fullerene and non-fullerene, he once proposed to let fullerene and non-fullerene be fused.

The advantages and disadvantages of fullerenes and non-fullerenes are complementary.

If they are fused, a material with high electron mobility, spherical structure conducive to phase separation, stable morphology, and high light absorption can be developed.

To put it bluntly, if fullerene and non-fullerene are fused, it is possible to create a material that absorbs light and can be used in solar power generation.

It is much stronger than the existing fullerene solar panels.

As for the effect, we have to wait for the research and development, and we will not know the results until after testing.

Professor Gao watched Ye Fei finish drinking the water, and poured Ye Fei a glass of warm water, but Ye Fei still finished it in one go.

Professor Gao poured another cup for Ye Fei, but Ye Fei still finished.

Professor Gao picked up the paper cup in front of Ye Fei to pour water, and said funny: "You haven't drunk water for a long time, and it's been three cups." ”

Ye Fei smiled embarrassedly: "I entered the laboratory at seven o'clock in the morning, and I haven't drunk a sip of water until now. ”

Professor Gao said: "Don't work too hard, and pay attention to rest." ”

"Got it." Ye Fei took the water cup handed over by Professor Gao, drank a third of it and then didn't drink it anymore, and put it on the table in front of him.

Ye Fei asked, "Professor Gao, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Professor Gao sat down in his seat and said, "Last time, you proposed to lease the lithium battery separator to the company, and I also told the above your thoughts. ”

"The above respects your ideas and agrees with your proposal."

The people above feel that C72 fullerene was discovered by Ye Fei, and Ye Fei, a lithium battery separator, is one of the main inventors.

Besides, with Ye Fei's identity, he finally made a request.

They are also not good at refuting Ye Fei's face.

So, they agreed to Ye Fei's proposal.

Moreover, the company has also been investigated.

It is indeed a very conscientious private enterprise, and for many years, even if it loses money, it has insisted on developing lithium battery separators.

Ye Fei said with a smile: "I went back and said to the chairman of the company, do you want to call the chairman of the company to Kyoto?" ”

"That's for sure." Professor Gao said: "After all, we also have some requirements that we need to tell them face-to-face. ”

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded.

After leaving Professor Gao's office, Ye Fei called Xu Li and said, "Dong Xu, the above has agreed, you come to Kyoto in the next few days, let's talk about this matter." ”

Since Xu Li received Ye Fei's news that he leased the patent of lithium battery separator to his company, he has been in a state of gain and loss.

I can't sleep well, I can't eat well, and I giggle from time to time.

When his subordinates saw his abnormal behavior, they thought he was on the board of directors and was forced by the directors to cut off the lithium battery separator business.

That's why it's so.

When he received Ye Fei's call, Xu Li's heart was pounding, afraid that the above would not agree to this matter.

When he heard Ye Fei say that he agreed to this matter, Xu Li's heart instantly burst into joy, his blood surged, and his face was ruddy with excitement.

Xu Li said excitedly: "Thank you, Dean Ye, I'll fly to Kyoto right away." ”

Ye Fei smiled: "You come directly to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, contact me at the door, and I'll take you in." ”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Li immediately asked his assistant to contact the lawyer of the legal department and the manager of the business department, and at the same time booked a plane for the three of them to Kyoto.

Ten minutes later, Xu Li took his lawyer, manager and assistant to the airport in a car, explaining the matter to the two on the way.

The manager was surprised: "What? How can there be such a good thing? Why did Dean Ye help us? ”

Xu Li said with a smile: "I once met Dean Ye in the airport lounge, he talked to me about lithium battery separators, and not long ago he told me that they have developed a new lithium battery separator, and the performance has reached the world's first level. ”

"And the reason why he will lease the patent to us is that he values my insistence on lithium battery separators."

The manager smiled and said, "Dong Xu, you are conquering Dean Ye in terms of quality!" ”

"I've said a long time ago that our persistence will pay off."

"Look, isn't it working now!"

"Haha......" Xu Li laughed and said: "Your result is that we have developed a lithium battery separator that is comparable to the world average!" ”

"Haha......" the manager laughed, "it's all the same, it's all the same." ”

The lawyer asked, "Dong Xu, is the patent leased to one of us, or to several?" ”

The nature of renting to one is different from renting to many.

Judging from the performance of the lithium battery separator developed by Ye Fei.

If it is leased to a company, it can monopolize the high-end lithium battery separator market.

If it is leased to more than one, it will not be able to monopolize the high-end lithium battery separator market.

Of course, the price is different between renting to one and renting to many.

If you rent it to one, the price will be much higher, and if you rent it to more than one, the price will be much lower.

But in fact, renting to one, the fullerene research institute will be more profitable.

For example, the patent lease to the company is one billion yuan per year.

But leased to multiple companies, each company can charge tens of millions per year.

Even if there are twenty or thirty companies, they can only make about seven or eight billion yuan a year.

Xu Li shook his head and frowned deeply, "Dean Ye didn't say it. ”

Of course, Xu Li wanted an exclusive patent, but he was worried that he would not be able to do so.

The manager said: "Dong Xu, we must strive to get the exclusive patent right, if the performance of the lithium battery separator developed by President Ye is really as he said, as long as we get the exclusive patent right, we will send it." ”

With the popularization of new energy vehicles, battery cars, mobile phone batteries and home appliances, they are used by more and more people.

The sales volume of lithium batteries is increasing rapidly every year, with an annual growth rate of 9.5%.

The sales of lithium battery separators are also increasing, with an annual growth rate of 9.5%.

By this year, the global sales of lithium battery separators have reached 10 billion US dollars.

If the company gets Ye Fei's lithium battery separator, it is no problem for the annual sales of lithium battery separator alone to reach two billion US dollars.

"Hmm!" Xu Li nodded: "I know this." ”

More than three hours later, Xu Li and others arrived at the gate of the Graphene Research Institute.

After contacting Ye Fei, ten minutes later, Ye Fei came out of the Graphene Research Institute.

"Dean Ye, hello!" Xu Li smiled and shook hands with Ye Fei.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Ye Fei said with a smile.

After that, Ye Fei shook hands with several people beside Xu Li.

Ye Fei said: "Let's go, let's go in!" ”

After Xu Li and the others registered at the door, Ye Fei led them into the foreign guest building of the Graphene Research Institute.

When outsiders enter the Graphene Research Institute, they can only enter the Foreign Guest Building and entertain them here, and they are not allowed to go to other places.

Ye Fei led them to sit down in the tea room of the Foreign Guest Building, and said with a smile: "Forgive me, this place belongs to the National Institute of High Secrets, and you can't go to many places, so I can only receive you here." ”

"It's fine!" Xu Li smiled: "Even if you find me a roadside stall to receive me, I will be happy." ”

Ye Fei said: "You wait, someone will come over soon." ”

"Good!"

Next, Ye Fei and the others asked the waiter for tea, and they waited while chatting.

About ten minutes later, Professor Gao arrived with a middle-aged man in a suit, carrying a black leather bag.

"Ye Fei, let me introduce you." Professor Gao said: "This is Xia Hong, the director of the patent department of the research institute. ”

"Hello, Natsube!" Ye Fei smiled and shook hands with Xia Hong.

"Director Ye!" Xia Hong smiled: "I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

Ye Fei said: "Please sit down!" ”

"Mr. Xu, let me introduce you!"

Ye Fei introduced them to each other and said, "You guys start talking, let's go to the other side." ”

After speaking, Ye Fei and Professor Gao went to another table to sit down and drink tea.

The opportunity has been given to Xu Li, how to talk about it next, how to fight for interests, is Xu Li's business.

Even if you can't win better interests, it's none of Ye Fei's business.

Xia Hong said: "Dong Xu, first of all, I will show you the data of our lithium battery separator. ”

As he spoke, Xia Hong took out a document from his bag and put it in front of Xu Li.

"With the assurance of our research institute, you can rest assured that all of this data is true."

Looking at the data on the file, Xu Li and the three of them had already heard Ye Fei say the data of the lithium battery separator.

But when I saw it, I was still surprised.

After the three of them finished reading, Xia Hong said: "Dong Xu, there are two things I want to declare in advance. ”

"You say!" Xu Lidao.

Xia Hong said: "Because the core material of lithium battery separator developed C72 fullerene is not for sale, only our research institute owns. ”

"Therefore, the C72 fullerene material used to make lithium battery separators will be sold to you at cost price after our research institute makes C72 fullerene into semi-finished products."

"Each ton is 5,000 yuan, and four tons of fullerene separator can be made."

The Graphene Research Institute did not make any money from Enjie shares, and the price of raw materials for C72 fullerene was two yuan per catty, and one ton was two thousand catties.

But the institute wants to process C72 fullerene into C72 fullerene molecules, and mix something else into them.

As a result, the C72 fullerene molecule can only make lithium battery separators, and cannot make anything else, nor can it be used for research.

The raw materials provided by the research institute only earn a manual fee.

"Five years later, our research institute will sell C72 fullerene materials to the outside world, and when the research institute does not provide processed C72 fullerene materials, you can buy C72 fullerene materials by yourself and process them by your company."

"That's fine." Xu Lidao.

One ton is only 5,000 yuan, which can make four tons of lithium battery separator.

Now the market price, one ton of lithium battery separator is three million.

Compared with the price of lithium battery separators, 5,000 tons of C72 fullerene material is nothing.

Xia Hong said: "And, according to the above requirements, the price of lithium battery separators should be reduced to 50,000 tons." ”

"Fifty-one tons?" The manager exclaimed, "This will make a lot less money for our company." ”

The 3 million 1 ton lithium battery separator fell to 50,000 tons, and the price fell by 98.3%.

Xu Li glared at the manager dissatisfied, and said, "What are you yelling about?" ”

Xu Li looked at Xia Hong and said, "Yes, we are willing to reduce the price to fifty-one thousand tons." ”

Fifty-one thousand tons can also make a lot of money every year.

At present, the global demand for lithium batteries is three million tons.

Three million tons of lithium batteries require 600,000 tons of lithium battery separators.

With the quality of their lithium battery separator, at least 20% of the market can be seized.

That is, 120,000 tons of lithium battery separators, with total sales of 6 billion.

After removing the cost, you can also make four or five billion.

In the past, the annual profit of the company was 5 billion.

In other words, just selling lithium battery separators makes more money than all the company's businesses in the past.

Xia Hong said: "Since we agree, let's talk about the next thing." ”

"There are two types of patent leasing, one is an exclusive patent right and the other is a non-exclusive patent right."

"Exclusive patent rights, the annual patent fee is 1 billion, non-exclusive patent rights, the annual patent fee is 20 million."

"What do you need?"

Xu Lidao: "Of course, it is an exclusive patent. ”

"Alright, let's sign the contract!"

The research institute doesn't care whether Xu Li has an exclusive patent or not, anyway, the exclusive patent research institute is more profitable.

After speaking, Xia Hong took out two contracts from his bag.

The signing of the contract requires the signature of the two directors of the Fullerene Institute, that is, the signature of Professor Gao and Ye Fei.

After signing, the two parties shake hands.

Xu Li held Ye Fei's hand and said with a smile: "Dean Ye, thank you so much." ”

Ye Fei said with a smile: "We are also mutually beneficial!" ”

Xu Li leased a patent for a lithium battery separator from the Fullerene Research Institute, and Ye Fei, as one of the main inventors, also took money.

It's just that you don't get the money every year, you pay it all at once.

The annual patent fee for lithium battery separator is one billion, and Ye Fei gets 10 million for one-time performance.

Don't look low, but the rules are so.

After all, the development of lithium battery separators is not the credit of Ye Fei alone.

There are also a lot of researchers involved.

In addition, the patent for lithium battery separator belongs to the Fullerene Research Institute.

Ye Fei is temporarily a researcher at the Fullerene Institute.

It's like the relationship between the employee and the company.

Employees earn 10 million for the company, can employees get 10 million? You can get four or five hundred thousand at most, or even less.

Xu Li let go of Ye Fei's hand and said with a smile: "Dean Ye, if you go to Yuxi in the future, call me, and I will entertain you." ”

"Okay!"

After Xu Li chatted with Ye Fei for a few more words, he quickly left the Graphene Research Institute.

After that, take a plane back to Yuxi.

As soon as Xu Li got off the plane, he called the company and asked all the directors to come to the conference room for a meeting.

In the conference room!

Many of the directors sat in the middle of it, talking to each other, wondering why the chairman had asked them to come to the meeting.

One of them said: "Do you know what Dong Xu asked us to do?" The company hasn't happened any lately! ”

The Board of Directors of the Company meets once a week, each on Monday morning.

Unless something big happens to the company, the board of directors will be held the rest of the time.

But nothing major has happened to the company recently, and everything is calm.

Except for last week's business of cutting off lithium battery separators.

However, this matter is over, and there is no need to discuss it any further.

Half an hour later, Xu Li walked in with a document in his hand and sat in the first seat.

Xu Li glanced at all the directors present and said, "Everyone, I went to Kyoto in the morning and talked about a big business. ”

All the directors' eyes widened slightly, and they looked at Xu Li with doubts.

Xu Lidao: "Not long ago, the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute developed a lithium battery separator, which has very good performance. ”

"This is the data of the lithium battery separator developed by the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute."

After speaking, Xu Li put the document in his hand in front of a director beside him.

The director saw the data above and exclaimed, "How is this possible? ”

The director next to him stared at the contents of the document and his eyes widened in surprise.

The other directors saw their surprised expressions and were even more puzzled.

After the two directors read it, they handed the documents to the other directors.

Ten minutes later, all the directors had read the documents.

"Dong Xu, is the data on this real?"

"Yes, Dong Xu, is it true?"

“……”

Several of the directors asked.

Xu Li nodded and smiled: "Of course it's true, this is the data I got from the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, they won't lie to me." ”

"Moreover, this matter was introduced to me by Dean Ye Feiye, and there will be absolutely no mistake."

A director said excitedly: "Dong Xu, has the patent been taken down?" ”

"Of course!" Xu Dong nodded and said with a smile: "I have obtained the exclusive patent for lithium battery separator." ”

"Great." All directors had excited expressions on their faces.

In the past, they asked to cut off the lithium battery separator, because they could not develop a lithium battery separator that was comparable to the international average.

Every year, the company is unable to make ends meet on the lithium battery separator.

But now the lithium battery separator technology of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute has reached the world's first level.

As long as the company gets the exclusive patent right, it can earn hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

Of course, this is when they don't know the price reduction of lithium battery separators yet.

Xu Lidao: "Although we won the lithium battery separator technology, the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute also put forward two requirements. ”

"The first requirement is that the raw materials in the lithium battery separator developed by the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute contain C72 fullerene."

"The C72 fullerene from the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute is not sold to the outside world, and they will process the C72 fullerene and sell it to us at cost price."

"It's 5,000 yuan per ton!"

The directors nodded, C72 fullerene is not expensive at 5,000 yuan per ton, it is indeed the cost price.

"Second, the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute asked us to reduce the price of lithium battery separators to 50,000 yuan a ton."

"What? 50,000 yuan a ton? "All the directors fryed.

50,000 yuan a ton, the company can only earn 6 billion a year.

If the price is not reduced, the company can earn more than 200 billion yuan a year.

Six billion and more than 200 billion, the profit gap is not a gap of several billion, but a gap of 200 billion.

"No, absolutely not!"

"Yes, Xu Dong, you can talk to the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute again, 50,000 tons is too cheap, there has never been such a cheap lithium battery separator on the market in the past."

"Yes, Xu Dong!"

“……”

Xu Li scolded: "Quiet! ”

After the directors calmed down, he said, "Everyone, this price is not something we can decide, but a decision from above, and the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute is just acting according to orders." ”

"Do you want to rebel against the above?"

"Besides, if we don't agree, the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute can find another company to cooperate."

"In Xia Kingdom, we are not the only ones who make lithium battery separators."

"Moreover, with the quality of the lithium battery separator of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, there will be many companies that cooperate with the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute."

"I think there will be a lot of companies that agree to lower the price to 50,000 tons."

"After all, 51,000 tons can make 6 billion."

All the directors were helpless, yes, even if they didn't agree, the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute could find another company to cooperate.

If you agree now, you will earn something, and if you don't agree, you won't earn it.

In the end, the directors could only agree.

A week later!

The Kyoto Graphene Research Institute announced that the Fullerene Research Institute, a research institute under the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, has developed a lithium battery separator technology based on C72 fullerene, with the following properties.

[Thickness: 10um.]

Breathability: 20cc

Automatic shut-off mechanism: 800°C

Porosity: 30%

Thermal stability: -40°C~90°C

Mechanical strength: tensile: ~90N, transverse: ~90N

Chemical Stability: Inert

At the same time, the company also announced that the Fullerene Research Institute, a subsidiary of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, has developed lithium battery separator technology.

The company has obtained the exclusive patent right of lithium battery separator technology of the Fullerene Research Institute!

At the same time, the lithium battery separator produced by the company is priced at 50,000 yuan per ton!

When these two news were announced, soon, all lithium battery companies knew about the news.

The entire lithium battery market has caused a huge sensation!
