Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 189 137 A Refreshing Transaction
The original intention of Bu Neimen Company to send Bert to find Chen Muwu was to rely on someone who could speak both Chinese and Haihai dialect to win Chen Muwu's favor with his local accent.

They hadn't thought about it at all, but in doing so, they were actually stealing chickens and losing money.

"Mr. Burt, let's speak English."

Chen Muwu hastily stopped his pidgin gibberish, it was really enjoyable to listen to.

"So you are here today to discuss the patent rights of this new type of glass with me, right?"

"That's right, Dr. Chen, that's it. Lord Mond attaches great importance to your new invention. Hearing that you plan to sell the patent rights, he sent me to have a preliminary communication and contact with you."

"That's no problem, please wait for me here for a while, and I'll ask Sir Bragg to come over."

When conducting experiments, Old Prague did not help at all, but only provided an experimental site.

When it came time to negotiate for money, Chen Muwu felt that it would be inappropriate not to come out of Prague.

He needs someone with status to help him stand on the platform, to overwhelm Burt's momentum on the opposite side.

In addition, although Chen Muwu took the bulk of the money, the David-Faraday Laboratory can also obtain a sum of funds for this. The director of this laboratory must see how difficult it is to obtain this fund.

A Chinese, in order to help the development of physics in the UK, sold the patent of a hot product that was constantly making money.

Anyone who reads it can't say something about Chen Gong's high righteousness?
Chen Muwu hummed a ditty and went to the director's office to find Old Prague. Oppenheimer, who left his student behind, stared at the visiting Burt Nemen company representative in the laboratory.

After Oppenheimer received Chen Muwu's letter, he left Cambridge University.

It has been a few days since he came to London, but Chen Muwu has never arranged any tasks for him, and he doesn't know what the teacher called him here for.

In the past few days, Oppenheimer has been following Chen Muwu in the David Faraday laboratory to make plans, which experimental equipment should be placed here, and what experimental drugs should be placed there.

It's just that no matter the equipment or the medicine, they are all castles in the air, and they are things that don't exist in the laboratory at all.

What is Mr. Chen doing?
Oppenheimer was even more puzzled by this unexpected visitor who came to visit today.

As soon as he came up, he said a few words that seemed to be Chinese, but he couldn't understand Chinese at all.

Then he reported himself as an engineer for the Brunner Mond Company.

Isn't this a chemical company?

How can teachers connect with them?And it sounds like they are saying, to sell patents?

Also strange, there is old Prague.

He hadn't seen Dr. Chen for more than ten or twenty days, and he didn't expect that he would suddenly come to the door today.

This is still not giving up, is it asking for money again?

"Sir Bragg, I need to discuss a patent assignment with someone. If this matter is completed, the funding for David Faraday Laboratory will be available. Why don't you go and see with me?"

The old Prague who was unwilling to see him one second, wished to give him a hug the next second, and even kissed Chen Muwu on both cheeks like those French people.

Rutherford, that old New Zealander, really didn't brag. His good student can really bring good luck to the lab.

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Dr. Chen, what kind of patent is it? Is it the one you have been tinkering with in the laboratory all this time?"

"Exactly that, ser."

Hearing this answer, Old Prague was a little disappointed.

With those bottles and cans, what valuable patents can be produced?

The most valuable thing ever invented in this David Faraday laboratory is the disc motor invented by the former director Faraday.

However, his disappointment soon dissipated.

No matter how much, it is always Dr. Chen's heart.

Moreover, the experiment scale of David Faraday Laboratory is much smaller than that of Cavendish Laboratory.

The Cavendish Laboratory has an annual funding of [-] pounds, and the David-Faraday Laboratory has [-] pounds, which is enough.

Moreover, after Dr. Chen learned that he had been cheated, he could have turned around and returned to Cambridge University, and returned to the rich Rutherford of the Cavendish Laboratory to conduct experiments.

But he stayed, not only stayed, but also tried to invent and create and finally produced it, just to get out of the predicament for David Faraday Laboratory.

Old Prague felt that it was a wise decision when he proposed to Chen Muwu on the ship returning to England from Belgium that he should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This Chinese Chen, like his compatriot Chen Qiaozhi in the recently emerging detective novel, also knows how to repay kindness.

As long as Dr. Chen can earn a thousand pounds with his invention, I should thank him very much.

Moreover, the old Prague also believed that after he retired, he could recommend Dr. Chen to replace him as the director of this laboratory.

With his achievements and his help to the laboratory, after 100 years, this laboratory may be named David-Faraday-Chen Laboratory.

……

After returning to the laboratory, Chen Muwu began to introduce them to each other.

"Sir Bragg, this is one of my students at Cambridge, Robert Oppenheimer, and this is Burt Engineer, Brennermond & Co.

"Two, this is the Fuller Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution and the director of the David Faraday Laboratory, Sir Bragg."

After the introduction, Old Prague had the same doubts as Oppenheimer just now. How did Chen Muwu get in touch with Brennamond, a chemical company?
But after thinking about it, he was relieved. He had been tinkering with bottles and cans in the laboratory for several months, and started chemical experiments without doing business. It was very legitimate to sell the results to chemical factories.

"Dr. Chen, what exactly did you invent so that the engineers from Brennamond Company went to the laboratory to buy patents?"

Old Prague asked the question that had always interested Oppenheimer.

"This is this new type of glass." Chen Muwu took out a new piece of plexiglass from the bag he has been carrying around with him for the past few days. There is no need to use silica party material, nor does it need to be fired at a high temperature of more than 1000 degrees Celsius."

Not only Old Prague and Oppenheimer, but even Bert, who came from Bu Neimen Company, saw this new gadget in Chen Muwu's hand for the first time.

The Duke of York regarded the piece of glass given to him by Chen Muwu as a treasure, and only showed it to the general manager of Bunemen, A. Mond, at his own home, and never agreed to his desire to take the glass away for research and testing. ask.

There are so many explanations, it is better to let them see the truth.

In front of the three of them, Chen Muwu performed the magical trick of throwing the glass on the floor without breaking it.

The laboratory let out three exclamations.

Old Prague changed his previous opinion on Chen Muwu's invention. He reckoned that selling this piece of glass for [-] pounds was really a little less.

It seems that this time he was lucky. When the patent is sold and the funds are in place, David Faraday Laboratory will finally be able to stand upright for a while!

Although Oppenheimer also thought this piece of glass was miraculous, he now took it for granted. His teacher Chen Muwu was a genius, and it was only natural for him to invent such a slightly innovative thing.

Oppenheimer was even a little dissatisfied with Mr. Chen's new invention.

Teacher Chen should not be an inventor, inventing these gadgets that improve human life.

He should not forget his original intention, continue to be a great physicist, and discover some new things in high-end atmospheric physics, so as to change human beings' cognition of the universe we live in:
For example, the electrically neutral particles in the nucleus of the old Rutherford have been looking for;
For example, the teacher proposed it in the paper, but it has been ridiculed by others as a whimsical "positron";
Even the one published in the newspaper, the parallel universe proposed by the teacher during the debate with Einstein;

……

Oppenheimer believes that one day, Mr. Chen will be able to find all of the above things.

He just has this ability!

Bert's eyes were even more rounded. Although he is not very good at doing business, he is also a chemical engineer with a professional background after all.

He knew that if this kind of glass that is not afraid of falling could be mass-produced in Brennamond Company, it would surely enter the markets of Europe, North America and even the rest of the world soon, and bring considerable profits to the company.

The soda ash market in East Asia was short-lived due to the birth of the red triangle, and the loss caused by the explosion of trinitrotoluene in a chemical plant in Silvertown, a suburb of London a few years ago, can also be used to produce and sell this new type of glass ribbon. The profits made up for it.

Burt finally understands now why Lord A. Mond didn't even come to punish him, so he asked him to come to London to find Dr. Chen to discuss the matter of purchasing the patent, and also raised his authority so many.

This is an inexhaustible cornucopia!
"Dr. Chen, what is your psychological expectation for your patent price?"

"Um……"

Seeing that it was a formal topic, Chen Muwu pondered for a long time.

He is not good at business, and he doesn't know how much to sell this patent for.

The shortfall of Gai School is still [-] pounds short.

However, this price is already a thing of the past. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in Baldwin's second cabinet, and Churchill, the God of Wealth in Chen Muwu's heart, finally pushed the pound back to the gold standard.

As a result, the exchange rate of the British pound against the Swedish Krona also rose. If calculated in Swedish Krona, he would no longer need to pay another [-] pounds.

How do ordinary people bargain?

Chen Muwu thought about the bargaining tricks he saw on the Internet before: No matter what the first offer is, cut it in half first, and then cut it down by about 20.00%.

Then if you calculate it in reverse, (10000÷80%÷50%)...

"Mr. Burt, you should know what this patent means and how much profit it can bring to your company.

"If I hadn't been in a hurry to spend money now, and I didn't have the initial funds to support my independent factory production, I would never have asked the Duke of York to help me contact buyers for this new patent..."

Old Prague on the side was taken aback.

Dr. Chen's energy is good!
In order to sell a piece of glass, he found the Duke of York's door?
How long has Dr. Chen been in the UK?He's already in touch with the royals!

"...so let me offer you a buy-out price for this patent, twenty-five thousand pounds, how about?"

The more he said this, the more he felt a little lack of confidence, because the price calculated just now was too high in Chen Muwu's mind, and the school building funds he provided to Marcus of the Wallenberg family were only a small amount. That's all.

Old Prague, who had just been taken aback by the Duke of York, was taken aback again.

How dare Dr. Chen be so tall?

As a fellow of the Royal Society and a Nobel Prize winner in physics, I can get the top professor salary in every university.

Even so, it will take 30 years of hard work to get the [-] pounds.

Old Prague wanted to persuade this young man, asking for a price is not the way to go, don't scare away this benefactor who finally came to his door!
But someone jumped ahead of him: "Mr. Burt, I think Dr. Chen's price is very reasonable.

"If your company is not willing to provide the corresponding patent transfer fee for such a great invention, I think DuPont in the United States should be willing to pay $12 for it.

"Teacher, although my father's business in the United States is not very big, there is no problem in connecting you with DuPont."

After Britain returned to the gold standard, the pound was fixed at 4.86 to the dollar.

The price given by Oppenheimer was a bit more than twenty-five thousand pounds.

Chen Muwu quickly realized that his student was raising the flag and cheering for him.

"That's right, Mr. Burt. If DuPont does not want it, I have also done business with BASF in Germany. If they see this new glass, I think they will not reject my offer. "

Burt quickly apologized with a smile: "Dr. Chen, please be calm and calm. As long as this piece of glass has passed our inspection and testing and confirmed that it meets the requirements in all aspects of performance, the price is right. There is no problem at all for Bu Neimen Company.

"So, Dr. Chen, should we sign a contract of intent first?"

Hearing that the other party agreed so readily, the elderly Prague almost fell off his seat.

Chen Muwu also felt a little regretful in his heart.

Seeing Bert's meaning, his price seems to be lower?
