I Have A Research Support System - Chapter 456

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Wei Xingsi drove Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing to the company of Blue River.

This time, Han Jiaying didn’t follow. After finishing the article about scratching the standard sample, she no longer worked part-time at Blue River.

In fact, the school girl passed by before because of Xu Qiu’s share in Blue River Optoelectronics Material Company.

At the beginning of the company’s establishment, there was a shortage of manpower, so she went to help and made some extra money by the way.

Now that the organic synthesis laboratory over the Blue River is on the right track, the impact of whether she can go or not will have little effect.

Of course, Blue River did not expressly or euphemistically expressed “you don’t need you here.”

It’s just that Han Jiaying pondered that “she used to paddle for a day and took a thousand yuan”, feeling a little sad, so she offered to leave.

On the way, Xu Qiu sat in the co-pilot and closed his eyes and rested.

While driving the car, Wei Xingsi chatted with Chen Wanqing sitting in the back row one after another.

Chen Wanqing’s current state is that no one can be found in two days. Except for the stable presence during the group meeting, most of the time he is not at school, but went to the Blue River Company.

Coupled with the gradual increase in the number of people in the research group, two main research teams have been formed, and the structure has evolved from the previous flattening to hierarchical development.

Wei Xingsi usually communicates directly with the team leaders-Xu Qiu and Wu Feifei, and other people generally don’t manage much.

Therefore, Wei Xingsi and Chen Wanqing have not had much exchanges recently, and they have special topics in the car.

Wei Xingsi: “How about Blue River?”

Chen Wanqing: “Very good, now the company is running very well.”

Wei Xingsi: “I am officially working, does it feel the same as in the laboratory? Are you still used to it?”

Chen Wanqing: “It’s almost the same, I used to do research and development.”

Wei Xingsi: “How is the working environment?”

Chen Wanqing: “Now all kinds of equipment are very complete.”

Wei Xingsi: “How much can you get every month?”

Chen Wanqing: “More than 10,000 after tax.”

Wei Xingsi: “Oh, that’s quite a lot, and it’s higher than my basic salary.”

Chen Wanqing: “…”

Wei Xingsi: “Did you talk about boyfriends? Isn’t it hard to find your age?”

Chen Wanqing: “…”

…

The two talked all the way awkwardly. After talking about the topic for almost a few months, they finally reached the Blue River Company.

Chen Wanqing swiped the card proficiently, and quickly led Xu Qiu and Wei Xingsi into the door.

Xu Qiu hasn’t been to Blue River for a long time. He usually communicates with Yang Qin through WeChat to remotely control the progress of the experiment.

Coming over this time, he found that the changes were quite big.

The office entering the door seems to have been renovated, and the number of workstations has increased from less than ten to more than twenty.

Among them, there are several new faces who are operating computers at their desks. They looked up at Xu Qiu and the others before lowering their heads to continue working.

In the laboratories on the side, Xu Qiu also saw some new instruments, some of which he could not even name.

The high probability is that Blue River has expanded its business scope and is no longer limited to the previous scratch coating and organic photovoltaic fields.

Blue River has received the news and came out enthusiastically to greet: “Mr. Wei, Brother Xu Qiu, Chen Wanqing, you are here.”

Wei Xingsi looked around and exclaimed: “Blue River, now your side is doing well.”

“It’s okay, after all, the company has been established for almost a year, and it’s more than 1 million to get in. There must be a little splash…” Blue River said with a smile: “Look at your good looks, have you posted anything else recently? Article?”

“Yes,” Wei Xingsi flaunted: “The research team just published an article on “Nature”, “Nature·Energy” not long ago. Our team once again broke the current world record of efficiency in the field of organic photovoltaics…”

Wei Xingsi patted Xu Qiu on the shoulder: “Hey, here is the first article.”

Several employees who were working in the office, after hearing about “Nature” and “Breaking the World Record”, turned their eyes and listened.

Except for one financial company, two or three programmers, the other employees in Blue River are basically masters of science and engineering, so they naturally know the grades of “Nature” and the difficulty of breaking a world record in a subdivision field. .

There are a few master’s students who have not published SCI when they graduated. Their original tutors of the research group also struggled to publish an article on AM’s sub-journals AFM and AEM.

Now when others are talking and laughing, they casually use “Nature” Dazi magazine.

Moreover, it is said that the young man who wrote the article next to him seems to be younger than himself.

Why is the gap between people so big?

“Awesome,” Lan He looked at Xu Qiu, then at Wei Xingsi, and asked with a smile, “Are you planning to publish “Nature” in the next article?”

“We are layering now…” After half of the words, Wei Xingsi closed his mouth in time. He realized that there were too many people here and it was not suitable to reveal too much.

Blue River is also a human being. He understood in an instant, he made a “please” gesture, pointed to his office, and said, “Let’s stop standing, let’s talk in the office.”

Upon seeing this, Chen Wanqing took the initiative to retire: “Then I will go to work.”

Lan He nodded: “Okay, you go. Yang Qin’s inkjet printing thing, you can meet him.”

The three of them walked into the office. Blue River had already made a pot of tea in advance. He helped Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu each serve a cup of tea, and said, “Ms. Wei has another breakthrough?”

“The efficiency of the laminated device we are making now exceeds 15%.” Wei Xingsi briefly introduced, and then the subject changed: “By the way, don’t talk to the outside about this.”

“Don’t worry, it will not be spread.” Blue River occasionally listens to the solar cell progress report summarized by Yang Qin and Chen Wanqing, so he still has a certain understanding of organic photovoltaics: “The efficiency is 15%…This is a big breakthrough, I I remember that the organic photovoltaic field was at 12% all year round.”

“Yes,” Wei Xingsi nodded, “So we plan to continue optimizing performance and see if we can hit the “Nature” you just said.

“This is amazing,” Lan He exclaimed: “Now the articles published in “Nature” and “Science” every year in China are just over a hundred. If you can post one, will you take off?”

“I can’t talk about taking off. Now domestic scientific research is not easy to do. I have to take it slowly…” Wei Xingsi waved his hand and changed the subject: “By the way, Lan River, you call us over…”

“Oh, it’s like this,” Blue River took over: “There are several main things, first of all, our optoelectronic materials company has turned losses into profits, and achieved profitability in November.”

Blue River took two documents from the desk and handed them to Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu respectively: “This is the financial statement for November, 20% of the net profit. I will use the dividend method to transfer to your bank card. I will continue to invest 80% of the following in the company as agreed.”

Xu Qiu glanced at the copy of Teacher Wei’s material, and found that it was the same as the one in his own hand, so he flipped through the copy in his own hand.

The company’s financial statements are still relatively complicated. Xu Qiu is not a major in accounting, and it is a little difficult to read.

However, he didn’t plan to pay attention to how to calculate the cost and profit. He mainly wanted to know the sales volume of various materials.

In November, a total of 36.4 grams of various monomers, polymer donors, and non-fullerene acceptor materials were sold.

In terms of sales volume, the most popular are ITIC and ITIC, which sold 8.2 grams and 5.5 grams respectively.

In addition, some monomer units used to synthesize ITIC are also selling well.

For example, various derivatives of ICIN end groups, including ICIN, ICIN-M2F2Cl, etc., are also sold for 2-4 grams.

In terms of polymer donors, several standard systems that match ITIC are also selling well, such as H22, which sold 3.7 grams.

These high-selling products are exactly the materials Xu Qiu told Yang Qin to synthesize.

Because of the full preparation, there was basically no out-of-stock situation during the sales process.

Moreover, the materials are tested by devices before they leave the factory, and the feedback after they are sold to customers is also good. Most of them can repeat the corresponding device efficiency, and the repurchase rate is high.

From the point of view of profit, such as polymer donor and non-fullerene acceptor materials, the profit of this kind of finished product is relatively high.

Because they are more expensive, usually around 10,000 yuan per gram.

The profit of the monomer is relatively low, and the price ranges from one thousand yuan per gram to several thousand yuan per gram.

In the final calculation, the total net profit is more than 40,000.

Xu Qiu calculated the dividend, multiplying more than 40,000 by 20% and then multiplying by 10%, and got a dividend of about 800.

emmm…

It’s better than nothing, it’s not as much as the money that I paid a day before.

However, it is also normal, after all, Xu Qiu doesn’t have many shares.

Moreover, the profit distribution accounts for only 20%, and the remaining 80% of the profits are invested in the company’s production. If 100% dividends are paid, then there will be 4000 yuan.

In addition, this is the first month to turn losses into profits, and it should be better if sales can be increased later.

Xu Qiu also simply calculated the rate of return. If only the 500W cash invested by Blue River is considered, the monthly profit is 4W, and the annual profit is roughly 48W for twelve months in a year, and the annualized return is close to 10%, which is pretty good.

In fact, Xu Qiu didn’t expect Blue River Optoelectronics Material Company to make a profit so quickly.

According to his expectations, it would have to operate for more than a year.

He roughly analyzed the reasons:

On the one hand, it may have just caught up with the ITIC craze that I set off, and the external demand for purchasing ITIC-related materials has increased.

On the other hand, it may also be because the threshold to open a photoelectric material company is relatively high, and the profit ceiling is relatively low, so the competitive pressure is relatively small, there are not many people doing it, and it is easier to get the cake.

To open an optoelectronic materials company, you need organic laboratories, device laboratories, characterization laboratories, as well as recruitment, and the initial investment must be more than 100W.

And many of them are investments in fixed assets. Once the investment fails, it’s equivalent to a waste of water. For example, such equipment is usually difficult to sell twice. At least universities and research institutes are unlikely to buy second-hand instruments, but they are all new of.

In the end, it may only be possible to buy it back to the manufacturer at a low price, but if the manufacturer recycles the instrument with the original price of 10W, the 90% of the new recycling price may only be 2-3W.

In addition, it is necessary to have a knowledgeable expert to guide the experiment. Otherwise, a lot of materials may not be sold after synthesis, which is equivalent to wasted.

Blue River’s company has him to guide him. Yang Qin basically doesn’t need to do market research, he can directly synthesize according to the command. This is also a very big advantage.

Of course, the threshold is important and important, and it is not so important.

After all, a few million is big money for ordinary people, but for capital, it is small money. As long as the rate of return is high enough, a lot of people will immediately follow suit.

However, as long as companies related to scientific research are not patented or monopolized industries, most industries have relatively low profit limits.

Because the plate is so big, it is difficult to grow bigger and stronger. Basically, it can only be sold to domestic universities and research institutes, so there is generally no big capital to enter the market.

After reading the financial statements, Xu Qiu commented: “The company’s sales are pretty good, basically in line with my previous expectations.”

Lan He smiled and said, “Thanks to Brother Xu Qiu’s guidance, Yang Qin talks about you on my side all day.”

Xu Qiu politely replied: “It should be.”

Wei Xingsi put the documents in his hand on the coffee table and asked, “How is the situation of your main company? How many squeegee machines have been sold?”

Blue River thought for a while, and said, “The only one that has been sold, Mr. Wei, is from your side. There are three other companies that have intentions, but they have not officially placed an order or signed a contract.”

Xu Qiu asked: “Are there any orders from the research team of Beijing Airlines Da Bao Yuanyou?”

“Eh, yes,” Lan He looked puzzled: “How do you know? Did Yang Qin tell you?”

“Oh, it’s like this,” Wei Xingsi actively explained: “Last week we took the lead in holding an organic photovoltaic academic seminar. At the meeting, Bao Yuanyou’s students said that they were doing squeegee and asked if we had any recommended manufacturers. After the meeting, we During the private chat, I recommended your company. I didn’t expect them to say that your company just went to your door to sell it not long ago. I guess they will place an order soon.”

“That’s quite a coincidence.” Blue River smiled: “I have to thank you for introducing customers to me.”

“The main reason is that there is really nothing wrong with the equipment you made, so I dare to recommend it outside,” Wei Xingsi turned his head and said, “Is it, Xu Qiu?”

“Well, the instrument is really easy to use.” Xu Qiu responded, and then asked: “When I came in just now, I saw that the company had added a lot of new equipment. Did you plan to expand the business scope again? ”

“Yes,” Lan River nodded: “My plan is to make an all-purpose printer that integrates inkjet printing, dispensing, squeegee, screen printing, etc., which can integrate electronic systems such as solar cells and micro-processing. The computer, screen, etc. can be printed with one key through a microelectronic printer.”

“Oh?” Wei Xingsi came with interest: “How is the progress now?”

“Isn’t this just doing a squeegee.” Lan River smiled awkwardly and explained: “Now we continue to optimize the squeegee process while simultaneously tackling inkjet printing, dispensing and screen printing. The progress is in the process of optimizing the process…”

“Right,” Blue River shifted the subject: “I am looking for you today, and I want to talk to you about whether there is any good development direction for organic photovoltaics and whether it is possible to achieve industrialization.”

Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu glanced at each other, they were both tacitly in agreement and did not speak.

Blue River continued to talk freely: “The current semiconductor industry, including integrated circuits and solar cells, is basically monopolized by silicon-based materials. I want to try to make some changes to replace silicon-based materials with carbon-based semiconductor materials. A breakthrough will definitely lead to a technological trend. The application of carbon-based semiconductor materials to all aspects of life is enough to change the status quo of human life…”

“This is also my original intention to develop an all-purpose printer. I don’t just want to simply sell the instrument. The development of the instrument is just a front link. My idea is to make a household semiconductor printing instrument that can function according to my needs. Directly DIY the desired semiconductor devices, whether it is integrated circuits, solar cells or display screens.”

Having said this, Lan He looked at Xu Qiu and Wei Xingsi expectantly.

“The idea is not bad,” Wei Xingsi said. “But from the perspective of the company’s benefits, it may not be a good choice. Organic photovoltaics want to achieve large-scale industrialization. For example, your household printing equipment, at least now I think the stage is still more difficult, and there are more problems to be solved.”

Xu Qiu added: “I think the pace can be slower. I will first provide instruments for universities and research institutions according to the original idea. Then, if a breakthrough in the field of organic photovoltaics is achieved, it will solve problems such as low device efficiency and poor stability. After the question, it’s not too late to turn it over.”

Blue River’s ideas, such as “semiconductor printing equipment for home use”, are relatively idealistic. What is good is called “forward-looking”, and what is bad is “fantasy.”

As for whether it is the former or the latter, it must be guided by the results. Success is “forward-looking”, and failure is “fantasy.”

Of course, for the whole society, this kind of idealist is still very important.

If wealthy people all play the financial alchemy, Huabei, Baitiao, and even some gift loans, chasing stable capital proliferation, then technological progress is a joke.

After listening to what Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu said, Blue River fell into thinking. After a while, he responded: “Let me think about it… I will take you around the laboratory first to see the new things we have developed. child.”

“Okay.” Wei Xingsi put down his teacup and stood up first.

After that, the three entered the laboratory, and Blue River began to introduce their new equipment, including inkjet printing, dispensing, and screen printing equipment.

At present, they are all separate machines, and Chen Wanqing is bringing a few masters and younger brothers to debug the equipment, and they look decent.

However, these methods are not adapted to organic photovoltaic devices, but are prepared for flexible OLEDs and flexible integrated circuits.

Therefore, Xu Qiu didn’t pay too much attention to it, but just listened casually, as an expansion of his knowledge reserve, and then copied these instruments to the simulation laboratory.

At the end of the visit, just when it was time for dinner, Blue River offered to treat him, but Wei Xingsi did not refuse.

Xu Qiu guessed in his heart that if Teacher Wei chose to start at three o’clock before, would it be the purpose of having a meal? Otherwise, according to his impatient character, he will probably leave at 1:30 in the afternoon.

It is still very possible.

Lan He called Chen Wanqing and Yang Qin again and went to dinner together.

The company here is an industrial park, and the surrounding supporting conditions are not very good, and there are no good restaurants. Therefore, the place to eat in Blue River is relatively far away, and you need to drive there.

Lan He drove himself, Wei Xingsi sat in the co-driver, and Chen Wanqing, Xu Qiu and Yang Qin sat in the back row. The three thin men were quite spacious.

In fact, Yang Qin also has a driver’s license, and his driving experience is six years.

However, the real driving experience is zero years, because his driver’s license was taken at his hometown during college, and most of the time he spent his undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees in the city.

So after I finished the driver’s license test, I have basically never touched the steering wheel for six years, and now I don’t dare to be a driver for my boss even if I have a driver’s license.

After about twenty minutes, everyone arrived at their destination.

The places where Blue River hosted Xu Qiu and the others were very good. The last time I went to Tirelin Star Restaurant, this time I came to this one, which is a well-known restaurant that specializes in seafood.

As soon as you enter the door, there are rows of glass water tanks with various living aquatic products.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the king crab, which is 588 yuan per catty, which is about twice as expensive as the market price.

After Blue River strolled around in the aquatic area, he called the waiter.

As if he didn’t see the price tag, he pointed to a king crab that looked extraordinarily sturdy and said, “Come on, this is the king crab. It’s said that there are nine ways to eat king crabs here. Give us Here is a full set.”

“Good.” The boss came to the reception in person, grabbed the king crab, and quickly threw the crab to the ground in front of everyone, as if he was afraid that others would regret it. Then, the boss took the crab from the shell. Pour the water clean, weigh it, three kilograms and six taels.

Of course, smashing the selected crabs to death in public may also be to prove that they will not steal the crabs from the back kitchen.

After ordering a hard dish, Blue River ordered some seafood such as oysters, scallops, squid, giwei prawns, pippi prawns, and added a few vegetarian dishes.

Because I had to drive, Lanhe didn’t order wine, only a pot of chrysanthemum tea.

At the dinner table, everyone did not discuss work matters, mainly Blue River and Wei Xingsi talking about the mountains and analyzing the international situation…

Xu Qiu gnawed the king crab’s legs silently during their conversation.

Expensive still has the advantage of expensive. It is indeed delicious. Each of the nine ways of eating has its own merits.

At the same time, Xu Qiu was also analyzing Lan He.

Maybe when there are no worries in life and no need to worry about a series of trivial things in life, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., people will be more likely to become idealized.

Xu Qiu can probably imagine the state of Blue River, but from his own perspective, it is not easy to substitute into the other’s perspective.

Including Blue River, it is difficult to think about problems from the perspective of organic photovoltaic researchers like Xu Qiu and others.

Some people say that the more society develops, the less empathy among people becomes.

To some extent, this is indeed the case.

Before, there were only a few classes of emperors, officials, landlords, and peasants.

They are all similar within the class, and everyone can understand each other’s situation.

But now because of social development, people perform their own duties, and their functions are highly differentiated, resulting in different industries.

Between different industries, it is like a mountain.

Before Xu Qiu did scientific research, he had no idea what scientific research looked like.

In the meantime, after listening to some senior elder sisters, I thought I understood what scientific research looks like.

Later, when I entered the industry, I realized that it was hard to imagine things that I had never experienced.

Even if you keep listening to people in this industry to tell the situation inside, you can only get a vague concept.

Only by going deep into the line, for at least a year, can I barely get the full picture.

Moreover, sometimes what you see may not be true.

As the travel time increases, the feelings of different time periods are also different, just like a doll.

It is probably similar to the change of “looking at mountains as mountains and looking at water as water; looking at mountains but not mountains and looking at water not water; looking at mountains or mountains and looking at water or water”.

As for what decision Blue River will make in the end, Xu Qiu is not sure ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Anyway, he gave his opinion.

Although I have a system here that can provide a certain degree of acceleration, no one can say whether a field can go out of the laboratory and achieve industrialization.

At least Xu Qiu does not see much opportunity now. The efficiency of devices in the laboratory can reach 15%. Once it is industrialized, it may only be 7% or 8%, which is beyond the reach of silicon-based batteries.

At this stage, there is nothing wrong with being conservative.

If you really put all your belongings on at this stage, and finally find that it can’t be used, it will be a bit difficult.

Later, with the implementation of research, a way out in the field of organic photovoltaics may be found.

Or, hope that the system will give a big hit?

Xu Qiu is still looking forward to publishing an article about CNS, what rewards will be given for system upgrades, and what functions will be activated? It is estimated that it will be more powerful.

High-speed text hand typing I have a list of chapters of scientific research assistance system
