Chapter 1688: Chapter 1692: History Always Repeats Itself
This conference is just like a marketplace.
Everyone can communicate and exchange ideas.
There are many areas for chatting.
There’s also an auction-like place where open bidding takes place.
In short, it’s an academic trading market.
Such conferences are held from time to time.
But rarely are they this grand.
Today, it’s all thanks to Chen Cang, otherwise, it wouldn’t be any different from usual.
When Google’s Bruce arrived on site, he invited Chen Cang to a private room for a detailed discussion.
“Professor Chen Cang, finally we meet.” Bruce and Walter warmly shook hands with Chen Cang.
Chen Cang smiled slightly: “I’ve been so busy lately, I apologize.”
After some chatting, everyone became a bit familiar with each other.
Bruce got straight to the point and asked: “I wonder, Professor Chen, how have you considered becoming our technical consultant?”
They had previously expressed the specifics of the cooperation to Chen Cang over the phone.
But Chen Cang hadn’t had the time to think it over thoroughly.
Chen Cang smiled and said directly: “Actually, I’m more inclined to completely sell this technology.”
“Of course, I can give you some advice for free!”
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Bruce and Walter exchanged glances, somewhat confused.
Although the shares aren’t Google’s, they still belong to a subsidiary, which isn’t without value.
Besides not being able to sell them within a few years, there aren’t many restrictions.
Chen Cang didn’t actually value their company’s shares; compared to a small fraction of shares, he’d prefer to exchange them for money to make more money himself.
Investing in oneself is better than investing in others, isn’t it?
Bruce curiously asked: “Professor Chen, what price do you think is appropriate?”
Chen Cang immediately replied: “50 million! US Dollars!”
Chen Cang’s words left Bruce and Walter silent.
50 million is no small amount.
Bruce frowned slightly: “30 million at most!”
Chen Cang: “As I said, I can provide some improvement suggestions.”
Bruce glanced at Walter.
Walter, seeing this, said: “Professor Chen, have you applied for a patent? Let us know, if it’s appropriate, we’ll purchase it.”
Chen Cang nodded, intellectual theft isn’t uncommon in the research field, but if the 20 million idea was violated, he wouldn’t want to hand over the bigger deal later.
After all, the new stereotactic instrument is the main focus today.
Chen Cang then spent an hour describing the direction of improvements and details.
He was very familiar with micro-imaging technology and naturally had the authority to speak on it.
Walter listened with glowing eyes.
For a long time!
Walter immediately made the decision for Bruce!
“Deal! This idea is fantastic!”
“Professor Chen, we agree!”
The specifics of the transaction require relevant lawyers to be present to sign the specific cooperation matters, and the event here had a dedicated team to handle these issues.
Transactions here require a substantial expensive transaction tax and service fee, but it significantly shortens the time while ensuring authenticity and reliability.
A third party would meticulously review and assist with the contract.
So, Chen Cang was quite satisfied with this.
Just as everyone was preparing to sign the contract.
Chen Cang suddenly asked: “I wonder if Mr. Bruce has researched stereotactic technology?”
Hearing this, Bruce just frowned slightly, but behind him, Walter’s eyes brightened, and he curiously asked:
“Professor Chen… have you researched stereotactic instruments?”
Chen Cang nodded: “After many surgeries, I started tinkering with it with some friends.”
“Then we innovated and improved the instrument.”
“If I weren’t short on money temporarily, I wouldn’t sell it.”
Chen Cang was lying; he didn’t have the capability to develop it, and selling was inevitable, or else… if time dragged on, what if someone else researched it?
Chen Cang remembered clearly; the blueprint introduction should be a product from 2025!
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Bruce became a bit curious.
Their company is now transitioning to research instruments, and micro-imaging technology is their forte, so it’s not too much of a leap.
But!
The stereotactic instrument is venturing into new territory.
However, if it could really be developed, it could address their group’s current issue of having a single flagship product, altering their current development trajectory!
Will it really exist?
Bruce frowned slightly: “Professor Chen, our company needs new product development, but… if it doesn’t align with our development strategy, we won’t need it.”
Chen Cang smiled faintly: “My product is most suitable for you.”
“Of course, I can introduce the specific functions of the new stereotactic instrument, and then you can decide!”
With that, Chen Cang began his introduction.
He spoke earnestly, even improving the blueprints and incorporating the concept of micro-stereoscopic imaging technology.
After his talk, Bruce suddenly began to breathe heavily.
He came from a background in equipment and had a clear view of future markets, which is why Google valued him and paid a significant amount for a headhunter to recruit him.
Now!
The micro-stereoscopic imaging technology had been approved for market entry, soon to be available.
This way, their Google subsidiary urgently needed a product to secure their industry position!
If this product could really materialize!
The future is promising.
“To what extent have you researched this?” Bruce directly asked!
Chen Cang smiled: “Every step of the blueprint, but lacking micro-imaging technology.”
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Bruce became even more excited, imagining how much research funding this could save?
He restrained his excitement and curiously asked: “How do you want to… cooperate?”
Chen Cang directly said: “I want to transfer the patent!”
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Bruce’s pupils contracted again, and after a moment, he got up to contact the head office!
Chen Cang wasn’t in a hurry either.
Bruce didn’t ask the price because he knew he couldn’t make that decision.
Finally, after an hour, Bruce came back in and told Chen Cang;
“1 billion, buy everything, at critical times, we need you to provide technology guidance. Also, our group’s chairman wants to see you tonight.”
Chen Cang was stunned after hearing that!
1 billion!
A bit…
Unexpected.
However, as for the meeting with Google’s chairman tonight,
Chen Cang still had some curiosity about it.
Coming out of the room, his mood improved a lot.
He gained $1.05 billion, plus his current assets…
Chen Cang suddenly realized that he had unknowingly reached tens of billions!
Thinking about this, even Chen Cang felt frightened.
Could I be on China’s Forbes?
Meanwhile, as Chen Cang was strolling outside, he saw Tethys.
He was currently communicating with someone nearby, arguing fiercely about the price.
After leaving, he heard John resentfully say, “Damn it, even if I throw it away, it won’t be cheap for you!”
Tethys, on the other hand, seemed calm.
Coming here today foreordains all this.
At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt!
[Ding! Found an item for Parkinson’s progress bar! Hint: The progress bar can increase by at least ten percent! Please strive for it!]
Upon hearing it, Chen Cang looked closely at the system prompt area.
Found out…
That it was none other than Tethys.
Is the system asking me to take in this guy?
At this moment, Tethys also happened to see Chen Cang.
Awkwardly, he smiled, “Professor Chen! Hello.”
Chen Cang hurriedly shook hands, “Professor Tethys, what a coincidence!”
The two met, although Chen Cang won, seeing the system prompt made him admire Tethys. He’s so brilliant, isn’t he?
How high is the difficulty between eighty and ninety percent?
But Tethys can help me improve!
Actually, if you think about it, there’s no absolute mistake in scientific research.
It’s merely a matter of incorrect direction.
The two sat there, and they were really engaged in their conversation.
Seeing the surrounding people somewhat astonished.
At this moment, Tethys curiously asked, “Professor Chen, how did you think of bypassing Lewy bodies and using the third hypothesis for consideration? I find this step extremely challenging! I really didn’t expect to discover the autoimmune response by folding α-synuclein!”
“It’s truly convincing!”
Chen Cang smiled, “A coincidence, a coincidence, it was pure luck on my part.”
Chen Cang indeed blushed a little.
In comparison, Tethys was far more professional than him, but inspiration struck.
He continued, “Professor Tethys, do you remember telling me one sentence?”
Tethys frowned slightly, “Which sentence?”
Chen Cang: “You said, ‘Actually, Parkinson’s may not be simply a degenerative disease. I found it very reasonable, so I researched it.”
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Tethys was instantly dumbfounded!
He had indeed said that.
But he guarantees that back then, he was purely posturing for the program effect.
What the hell!
Didn’t expect Chen Cang actually…
Thinking about this, Tethys felt like crying.
I actually trained a monster myself, and this monster ended up defeating me.
Whom should I go to for reasoning?
Tethys suddenly smiled wryly.
After a sigh, he said, “Oh… if time could turn back, I really want to collaborate with Professor Chen!”
“What a pity…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang suddenly had an idea.
Exactly!
I could completely recycle the waste.
Why don’t I…
Persuade him away?
Using the method he used to persuade me back then?
Thinking about this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but organize his expression, speaking with righteousness and without bearing any grudges, looking at Tethys sincerely and genuinely:
“Professor Tethys, if I invite you again to join my team to tackle Parkinson’s together, would you be willing?”
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, Tethys was instantly stunned!
He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated!
Chen Cang said, “You join my team, share your results, and I will let you join my experimental team. Together we will win a Nobel Prize. What do you think?”
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, Tethys suddenly felt it was very familiar.
He kept feeling like he had heard it somewhere!
Chen Cang couldn’t help but add, “This is the Nobel Prize, doesn’t Professor Tethys need a Nobel Prize to clear your name?”
“Prove you’re not a failure!”
“Prove that you can do it too!”
Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Tethys realized!
These are the same words he used to persuade Chen Cang!
But…
Can he still refuse?
…
