"Haining, how much did you just say?"

Chen Zhou was still a little suspicious whether he had heard it wrong.

The amount of 20 million is the largest amount he has ever seen when he grew up so big.

Chen Haining noticed the change in Chen Zhou's voice and couldn't help but quip: "What's wrong, Brother Chen, aren't you sleepy?"

"Ahem..." Chen Zhou said a little embarrassedly, "You have already woken up, why are you still sleepy..."

Chen Haining chuckled softly and said with certainty: "Brother Chen, you heard it right, the other party offered 20 million!"

"Twenty million..." Chen Zhou coughed lightly again.

It seemed that Chen Zhou had a little more fireworks at this moment. Chen Haining continued to add: "Yes, it's 20 million, but this is just the first one, and there will be other ones in the future.

If something unexpected happens, this price is just a guaranteed price and there is still a lot of room for floating up.”

"Also, Brother Chen, this 20 million does not mean that our patent licensing fee is only worth 20 million. This 20 million is actually just a year's patent licensing fee, and they have to pay it again every year in the future."

"Hiss~" Hearing Chen Haining's words, Chen Zhou immediately took a breath.

Good, this is the real wealth and wealth.

I used to get a few million in bonuses, but I felt it was a lot.

But compared with this patent license, Chen Zhou suddenly felt that what it was, he was so stingy.

This patent licensing fee of 20 million yuan per year can simply help him achieve financial freedom.

Of course, Chen Zhou just complained in his heart.

If you really compare it seriously, he still thinks that the Nobel Prize is more in line with his temperament.

There will always be money.

Nobel Prize...

It seems that there will be some slowly...

Moreover, although Chen Zhou was not very clear about the specific matters of patent authorization, he also understood that this patent authorization fee that was given once a year may actually not last for a few years.

If new technologies appear and replace their patent value, they will naturally not adopt their patents.

If he wants to avoid this situation, he has to upgrade his technology.

Or, around this technology, we will create some patent barriers.

In that case, you can really count the money while lying down.

However, for Chen Zhou, such a small-scale thing is not his main goal after all.

The current patent authorization is enough to make up for the funds he lacks.

In the future, if you are still short of funds, then take some time and get a few more.

After pausing for a moment, Chen Zhou asked, "Haining, do you call me, just tell me this good news?"

"Hey, Brother Chen, why do you hear your tone? This good news is not enough?" Chen Haining exclaimed lightly and said with a smile.

Chen Zhou naturally heard the joke in Chen Haining's words, but now he didn't care too much about it.

After all, the surprises of 20 million have been brought by Chen Haining.

Even if I make fun of him, it doesn't matter.

Chen Zhou turned around and said, "That's not the case. This is indeed good news. With this patent licensing fee, my subsequent plan will be implemented."

Chen Haining immediately said curiously: "The plan behind? Brother Chen, do you have any earth-shaking plans?"

Chen Zhou thought about it and did not intend to conceal Chen Haining. Maybe in the future, Chen Haining would be included in his plan.

"It's not a shocking plan..." Chen Zhou calmed down his thoughts and asked, "Do you still remember that Yifan didn't return to China during the Chinese New Year?"

Chen Haining was slightly stunned, and he immediately thought of something.

However, he still couldn't figure out what would Zhang Yifan have to do with Chen Zhou before he returned to China for the New Year?

Isn’t Chen Zhou himself in China?

So, Chen Haining asked: "Brother Chen, didn't Yifan say that he had an experimental research and was following up, so he didn't have time to come back?"

Chen Zhou replied: "That's right, it's because of the experiment that he didn't come back. And I actually participated in that experiment."

"What? Are you involved too?" Chen Haining looked surprised.

This was indeed the first time he had heard this news.

He also thought that the experiment Zhang Yifan participated in was an experimental project assigned by his tutor.

Why are you related to Chen Zhou?

Suddenly, Chen Haining's association became richer.

It seemed to be in order to confirm his association, Chen Zhou said softly: "Before I returned to China last year, I had always had contact with Yifan. He applied to the Department of Chemistry at MIT, which is actually my suggestion."

"Of course, I will definitely not let Yifan go to MIT in vain. For this reason, I set up a laboratory for him to study our subjects."

When he said this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but think of the experimental results that satisfied him very much.

Until now, Zhang Yifan has passed Chen Zhou's initial test.

Originally, Chen Zhou had some test elements when choosing Zhang Yifan.

But fortunately, Zhang Yifan completed these tests excellently.

Chen Haining, who heard Chen Zhou's words at the same time, no longer knew how to describe his mood.

He never expected that Chen Zhou and Zhang Yifan would form a team together without telling everyone.

Moreover, Chen Zhou actually set up a laboratory for Zhang Yifan to use.

According to Chen Zhou, at least half a year has passed.

These people didn't even have any news.

Thinking of this, Chen Haining couldn't help but feel a little savory and envied Zhang Yifan a little.

He thought, is this the benefit of being a Nobel Prize boss?

But he was sitting in front of Chen Zhou at least?

Why is this gap not so big?

If it weren't for the patent licensing, I would have had a slight intervention.

Then when will you know these things?

However, Chen Haining did not blame Chen Zhou.

He himself actually knew that it was not easy for him to hold Chen Zhou's thighs with his profession.

Just like now, he was already quite satisfied to be able to follow Chen Zhou to discuss a patent authorization worth tens of millions.

But thinking so, Chen Haining was still a little envious when he thought that Zhang Yifan had received such favor from Chen Zhou.

This kind of envy cannot be suppressed.

After adjusting his emotions, Chen Haining spoke out and said, "Damn, Brother Chen, you are not that interesting enough, right? You and Yifan actually hid it from all of us, and for so long!"

Chen Zhou chuckled softly and said, "No, I didn't hide it from all of you."

Chen Haining: "No? Tell me, if you don't say it today, can I know? And Li Xiang must not know, right?"

Chen Zhou said sternly: "You don't know, but Yiyi knows it."

Chen Haining: “…”

After a while, Chen Haining adjusted his mood again.

Although Chen Zhou explained the connection between him and Zhang Yifan's experiment, he still did not explain clearly what his subsequent plan was.

After making mental preparations, Chen Haining asked, "Brother Chen, does that have anything to do with your future plans?"

Chen Zhou sorted out the language a little and finally said: "Yifan is only part of the subsequent plan, and chemistry is only an integral part of the basic disciplines of natural sciences."

"In addition, there are mathematics, physics and biology, as well as engineering, informatics, materials and other disciplines that prefer applied research."

"So, I want to build a research institution around these disciplines. It's like..."

Chen Zhou paused when he said this, and Chen Haining couldn't wait to ask: "It's like what?"

Chen Zhou said: "Just like Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies."

"Hiss~" It's Chen Haining's turn to take a breath.

In any case, he never thought that Chen Zhou would have such an idea.

No, it shouldn't be said to be an idea.

It should be called "dream"!

The year he was in Maochang High School suddenly appeared in Chen Haining's mind.

Isn’t Chen Zhou just a dreamer?
