Chapter 422 Building a Laboratory

"Darling, what's the matter?" Su Chen was a little puzzled.

Miranda obviously thought about it for a long time, and said, "Your energy laboratory, do you plan to hold the exclusive control?"

"My idea is that Hong Kong's Shengshi Holdings will take 55% of the shares, and the remaining 45% will be invested by the foundation established by your father and me to realize the cross-holding of the two companies." Su Chen said: "There is no need to worry about it at the beginning."

"So, you don't plan to keep this laboratory in the United States for a long time, right?" Miranda asked.

Su Chen smiled: "There is still a long way to go in the future, so now I only think about how to build the laboratory. As for the future, let the future handle it."

"But I don't think it's right." Miranda said: "Anyway, the laboratory hasn't been set up yet, and the US government won't do anything to you. You first hold the shares personally, and when it gets up, it will attract others' covetousness." , Shengshi Holdings can buy them all, anyway, they are left-handed and right-handed."

"Yes." Su Chen thought for a while.

This is indeed very feasible. Could it be that just setting up a laboratory by yourself can attract investigations like the FBI and CIA?
How many people do the FBI and CIA need to do this kind of work?
Skip this topic.

Regarding equity, let's talk about a typical example.

Samsung has always been the most proud company for Koreans. Koreans cannot do without three things in their lives, death, taxation and Samsung. From this, we can see how high Samsung's status in South Korea is.

However, some Koreans may not know that, as the core enterprise of the Samsung Group, 55% of Samsung Electronics is currently held by foreign investors.

20% for major shareholders and related groups, 17% for domestic institutions, 7% for treasury stocks, 5% for domestic individuals, and up to 52% for foreign capital.

Anyway, foreign investors accounted for 55%, and more than 80% of the shares were held by American investment institutions, especially financial institutions such as Wall Street Citigroup and ****.

Major shareholders and affiliated companies hold 21% of the shares, while Korean domestic institutional investors hold 19%.

The shareholding structure of preferred shares is even more exaggerated. 89% of preferred shares are held by foreign investors, while only 10.2% of preferred shares are held by domestic investors and major shareholders.

Seeing this shareholding structure, it is estimated that many people were surprised. According to this statement, Samsung Electronics is completely an American company.

But Samsung is really controlled by the Koreans, and these investors only enjoy the distribution rights of Samsung Electronics' profits, while Samsung Electronics' decision-making power, personnel power, and financial power are completely controlled by the Koreans.

However, even if Samsung's control is still in the hands of Koreans, most of its profits have been shared with foreign investors. In this sense, Samsung is not an exaggeration to work for Americans.

Su Chen is in the early stage of development, so he doesn't need to think so much. Now there are many people engaged in new energy in the United States.

When the development is successful and the world patent is applied, it will immediately move back to Hong Kong for local development.

As long as it is ahead of Sony and Bell, it will firmly grasp the patents of polymer lithium batteries, lithium cobalt oxide patents, lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium iron phosphate carbon-encapsulated technology.

Moreover, the latter two patents are the two core technology patents that the lithium iron phosphate technical route cannot bypass anyway.

As long as it is developed first, it is estimated that Sony and Bell will be caught blind.

Of course, the premise is to research it first.

Su Chen had no choice but to open a laboratory in Boston, because Boston has more talents than Hong Kong.

Backed by Harvard Massachusetts and several other universities, it is much easier in comparison.

After all, Boston is known as the "Athens of the United States". There are more than 100 universities in the Boston metropolitan area, and more than 25 college students are educated here.

Wouldn't it be a pity to give up such a place full of talents?
The name of this laboratory, Su Chen chose 'Tiangong'.

From the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production - "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Originally, I thought about finding a place by myself and setting up a laboratory, but it is very troublesome to set up a private laboratory in the United States.

So Su Chen simply bought the laboratory of a company facing bankruptcy at a very low price, and then changed the name to operate it.

The research institute was previously engaged in the research and development of engines, vehicle systems, fuels and lubricants, so it has nearly 20 square meters of laboratories, test facilities, workshops and offices.

Although this is still very small for those large research institutes.

But for Su Chen, it was still very big. Although Su Chen didn't want to buy such a big one, because of time constraints, he chose to solve it in the fastest way.

Then, with the help of Professor Eller, we purchased equipment and experimental equipment from various places.

There are many things that Su Chen can't understand, and they are all checked by Professor Goodenough. The old man was fooled by him from England to Boston, and he threw himself into intense work before he rested.

Not only personally participated in the construction of the laboratory, but also busy recruiting talents.

Su Chen could only wave the banknotes, like a foolish son of a landlord with a lot of money, all he had to do was yell: Come on, come on, I get 996 here every day, it's your blessing.

Of course, it has to be said that under the attack of banknotes, the laboratory soon began to look good, the engineering team worked day and night, and many unheard of things were continuously shipped to Boston.

Su Chen didn't take care of these things any more, he asked the little secretary to take charge, and just paid the money.

"This is the fastest-growing laboratory I've ever seen." Professor Ayler also came to the scene, watched the engineering team work in full swing, and then turned to look at Su Chen: "Honestly, how did you put John Tricked into coming to Boston?"

"Old man, how can you say that I lied to him?" Su Chen looked aggrieved: "In fact, I want to provide a complete research institute so that Professor Goodenough's talents can be displayed, you can't doubt my intention."

Professor Goodenough smiled and said, "Old buddy, Su didn't lie to me. He did put forward several very constructive ideas. Dude, you know, I'm particularly interested in these things."

"Then do you have a daughter?" Professor Eile looked at him, and said with something in his words: "Be careful that Su not only lied to you, but also to your daughter. He is a man who penetrates every corner."

Su Chen's boss was unhappy in an instant. It was obvious that his daughter had spoiled him. Professor Aile picked up such an excellent son-in-law as himself, and slandered him everywhere.

Professor Goodenough laughed and said: "But Su is a very good young man, isn't he? Although I don't know much about economics, I asked my old buddy before, and I appreciated his opinions. Listen It is said that he will be a student who directly obtains a doctoral certificate from a graduate student, which is very talented."

In the technology circle where geniuses emerge in large numbers, talent has always been emphasized.

Galileo discovered the pendulum principle at the age of 17; Newton created calculus at the age of 20, and proposed the law of universal gravitation at the age of 24; Einstein was only 26 years old when he proposed the theory of relativity;
When quantum theory was created and perfected, Heisenberg and Fermi were 24 years old, Pauli was 25 years old, Dirac was 25 years old, and Schrödinger, who was always playing with cats, was the most late bloomer at 36 years old.

Su Chen thought that he was completely inferior to these people.

Professor Eyler said: "Indeed, man, he is indeed the best student I have ever supervised, and some ideas are very constructive."

Su Chen didn't continue chatting with them because he still had things to do.

After returning to the house, he called Tang Wanru.

The phone rang for a while before I heard Tang Wanru's voice: "hello..."

"Mary, did you miss me?" Su Chen asked on the phone, "How is things going?"
