Chapter 461: Not So Utilitarian

Ye Jiayi believes that Changda Group's waiver of the right of authorship of patents and scientific research results is conducive to the signature of the test team and relevant leaders of the New Materials Research Institute, and the work they need to do is only to sign a supplementary agreement to clarify the rights and interests of Changda Group.

When Ye Jiayi told Vice President Qin of the Institute of New Materials on the phone the idea of giving up the right of authorship, Lao Qin didn't understand this, "Why give up the right of authorship of the results? I can't say a few words clearly on the phone, either you come to us, or I will go to you, and I will figure things out after we meet." ”

"What's so unclear about this? Changda Group gave up the right of authorship of scientific research achievements and invention patents, isn't this clear enough?" Ye Jiayi didn't want to meet with the other party because of such a trivial matter and waste time on meaningless things.

"Of course I understand the meaning of giving up your right of authorship, but I don't understand, why do you want to do this?" Lao Qin's doubts were understandable, and even Dr. Tong, the project leader, felt incredible when he heard the news.

"Making this decision is an internal matter of our company, and it is very beneficial for Changda Group to give up the right to sign scientific research results and invention patents!

"Welcome, of course welcome! But I still want to know why Changda Group wants to do this? Signing scientific research achievements and invention patents is something that many people dream of, but you have to take the initiative to give up, ...... of them?"

"Dean Qin, don't you suspect that we have some intentions in doing this?"

"Mr. Ye, your abnormal behavior is really incomprehensible, everything must have a purpose, you take the initiative to give up the right of signature, is there no purpose? Changda Group and the New Materials Research Institute are cooperative units, what is the matter, it is best to put it on the table. ”

Ye Jiayi didn't expect that his kindness to Guan Yuntian was misinterpreted by Lao Qin, "Dean Qin, you are a scientific research unit with high specifications, and you originally thought that the realm was very high, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case." If you think that there is any ulterior motive for Changda Group to waive the right of authorship, then we can take that right back. However, I still have to tell you, not everyone is so utilitarian, the right of authorship is useless to us, Changda Group originally wanted to send a favor, since Dean Qin not only did not appreciate it, but also doubted our purpose, then it was just done according to the general principle. ”

"Mr. Ye, don't be careful, I don't doubt your purpose, just ask casually, I have received this friendship, thank you for the generosity of the leaders of Changda Group!"

"However, we also have a small request, please consider it. ”

"A small request, what a request?" Lao Qin became alert again.

"Because we have waived the right of authorship, we signed a supplementary agreement to further clarify the rights and interests of Changda Group in the future. ”

"Isn't this clearly stated in the cooperation agreement? Why do we need to sign another agreement?"

"Dean Qin, Changda Group has now given up the right of authorship, the situation is a little different from the beginning, and we feel it is necessary to sign a separate agreement to clarify the rights and interests of Changda Group. ”

"Mr. Ye, do you doubt whether the words of the New Materials Research Institute count? I think this is a bit too much. ”

"No one doubts that your words don't count, but who knows if you will be in your current post tomorrow if you are in your current position in a unit within the system, with all due respect, and with all due respect, will you not be asking for trouble when the time comes?"

Lao Qin felt that Ye Jiayi's worries were not unreasonable, "Mr. Ye, what do you mean, take out the rights and interests clauses stipulated in the cooperation agreement separately as the main content of the supplementary agreement, and further clarify the rights and interests of Changda Group, which is understandable, but you won't add additional requirements in terms of rights and interests, right?"

"Changda Group has always paid attention to the spirit of the contract, and how can the rights and interests clauses that have been stipulated in the cooperation agreement be added or decreased at will? The clauses related to rights and interests in the previously signed cooperation agreement are taken out as a separate supplementary agreement, just to prevent problems before they occur, and there is no other purpose in addition. Ye Jiayi said.

"I fully understand what Mr. Ye meant, and we are deeply grateful for your high demeanor and lack of desire! When and where do you plan to sign this supplementary agreement?"

"You don't have to be in a hurry about this matter, and you can't be in a hurry, so let's do it, the first phase of the industrialization test here is basically over, and you, as the leader of Party A of the project cooperation group, should take a time to come and see your test team, and at that time, it is not too late to sign a supplementary agreement." Ye Jiayi said.

Because Changda Group gave up the right of authorship, the patent application for solid electrolyte and battery separator materials has completely become the business of the New Materials Research Institute, and all the affairs of the patent application have nothing to do with Changda Group.

When applying for provincial science and technology awards, the award organization has a key requirement for the scientific and technological achievements, that is, the actual application, which Dr. Tong's test team can not do, after all, they are only responsible for the synthesis of this material, and do not deal with the specific application unit.

After knowing the situation, Guan Yuntian discussed with Ye Jiayi, "It seems that we have to come forward in this matter, Dr. Tong is doing research and development, and he doesn't have much contact with the outside world!"

"I also asked Tong Wei that they couldn't find an application unit, so why don't I contact Chengsheng Automobile Company to see how far their electric vehicle project has progressed?"

"Then you hurry up and contact the other party, if necessary, we can go to the market in person, and we have to rely on the market. "Guan Yuntian said.

Chengsheng Automobile Company is the largest user of Changda auto parts, over the past few years, the two companies have established a good cooperative relationship, although they are usually busy, at the end of each year, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi have to visit users, and meet with the relevant leaders of Chengsheng Automobile Company regularly.

Two years ago, the leadership team of Chengsheng Automobile Company made a big adjustment, the original deputy general manager in charge of production Lao Xu, now became the general manager of the company, Lao Zhang of the Liaison Department has retired, although the manager of the Liaison Department is a newcomer who was promoted from the production line two years ago, but soon after taking office, Ye Jiayi established contact with the Manager Jiang. The purchasing department has basically maintained the original team, and they have long been old acquaintances with Changda Auto Parts Company.

Ye Jiayi did not directly find Mr. Xu, but called the manager of the Outreach Department of the Outsourcing Department, and after the phone was connected, Ye Jiayi spoke first, "Hello! Is it Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"Hello Mr. Jiang! I am Ye Jiayi of Changda Group. ”

"Mr. Ye, you are a busy person, so leisurely today?"

"Oh, I want to ask you something, do you know how far the electric vehicle project of Chengsheng Automobile Company has been developed now?"

"This ......, Mr. Ye, you know that I am in charge of outreach and outsourcing, and I don't know about technology development, why don't you ask Mr. Wan about the situation? He should know more clearly. "Lao Jiang Dao.

"I heard the year before last, isn't Mr. Wan already retired?" Ye Jiayi said.

"It's old age, but he's the chief engineer of Chengsheng Motors, and after his retirement, he was retained, and it is said that he became a consultant for the company's electric vehicle project. ”

"Oh, well, I'll call him. Mr. Jiang, I will go on a business trip to you in a while, and I will visit you again when the time comes. Ye Jiayi knows that if she really cooperates with the electric vehicle project of Chengsheng Automobile Company, the counterpart of the other party must be the Outsourcing and Liaison Department.

Ye Jiayi pondered that Lao Wan had retired, and even if she was retained as a consultant for the electric vehicle project of Chengsheng Automobile Company, she should not be in the original office, so she did not call Lao Wan's original office at all, but dialed a mobile phone number.

"Hmph, it's through!" Ye Jiayi was still afraid that the phone would not get through, after all, it had been five or six years, although she was also very familiar with Mr. Wan and had dealings, but she had never called Lao Wan's mobile phone, "Hello! Is it Mr. Wan?"

"I'm Lao Wan, who are you?" Chengsheng Automobile Company is one of the top three automobile manufacturers in China, and their managers answer the phone in this tone?

"Hello Mr. Wan, I'm Xiao Ye of Changda Group, Ye Jiayi, let's meet, do you remember?"

"Beautiful and capable little leaf, Ye Jiayi, I should call you Mr. Ye, it's very impressive, of course I remember it!"

"Mr. Wan, it is said that you have retired, are you still so busy?"

"I wasn't allowed to go home to retire after I retired, and I was asked to be a consultant for the electric car project, but I wasn't much interested, but fortunately, there weren't many things to do, and I wasn't too busy with work. "Lao Wandao.

"Oh, you always have to take care of your body, don't get tired. I'll visit you when I'm on a business trip to Chengsheng Motors. Ye Jiayi said.

"Well, it's not just to talk to me today, is it?"

After years of dealing, she has already figured out Lao Wan's temper, and Ye Jiayi knows that the other party will ask this sentence, "Mr. Wan, if it is not confidential information, I want to inquire with you, where is the progress of the electric vehicle project you have developed?"

"I'll just say, how can you have time to call and chat with me when you ask about it, there is nothing confidential, the electric vehicle project, the whole vehicle design has already been completed, and now the prototype has come out and is preparing to be tested on the road. ”

"Oh, has the power problem of electric vehicles been solved?" said Ye Jiayi.

"The power problem is being solved, but there is no mature solution yet, and this is perhaps the most critical issue for electric vehicle projects. But why do you ask this?"

"Mr. Wan, our Changda Group is cooperating with the Institute of New Materials of the Academy of Sciences to develop a high-energy battery, in which the electrolyte and separator materials have passed the industrial test, the product performance is at the leading level in China, and the whole battery will be put into production immediately. I would like to know, is the power system of your project interested in the high-energy battery of Changda Group?"

"You mean, Changda Group produces high-energy batteries for vehicles?" Lao Wan was surprised.

"To be precise, Changda Group is about to produce high-energy batteries for vehicles, and from the results of the early test of battery materials, our high-energy batteries should be very competitive. ”

"Yo, this is a very useful information, I really didn't expect Changda Group to produce such a high-tech product. ”

"Mr. Wan, if we want to provide a sample of Changda Group to your project for trial, do you think it is feasible?" Ye Jiayi asked tentatively.

"In my opinion, this is a good thing for both parties, but this matter ultimately needs to be approved by the CEO, and if possible, you had better contact the company's President Xu first to see what his attitude is. ”
