Chen Shuqin continued:
"The laboratory will be located in Yuezhou, and professors will need to work there. Don't worry, Yuezhou has prepared high-rise apartments, free of charge for move-in, with free food and lodging. If professors wish to bring any graduate students along, all expenses will be covered by our company."
However, we have one requirement: all professors who accept our invitation must sign a confidentiality agreement and not disclose any research information to the outside world until the machine is manufactured."
There is no way. We still have to be more careful with intellectuals. Not everyone deserves the title of "professor".
Chen Xia didn't know what kind of people these experts were, and whether they would sell out the secrets of the Pumpkin Vine "Hollow Project". It was better to say such ugly words in advance, and the huge compensation should also be written into the contract.
If anyone thinks that a signed contract can be torn up at any time, they are totally wrong.
If Four Seasons Group directly announces its intention to divest from mainland China, who will bear the consequences? With 1997 less than a decade away, what could be more important than a smooth transition? How dare Hong Kong compatriots betray us?
He was directly sent to the Northwest to dig sand.
After everyone finished their discussion, Chen Shuqin distributed some information to everyone.
"Dear professors and experts, these are the six research groups we have set up for the cavity project, as well as the number of researchers we need. You can freely choose according to your expertise, as the number of places is limited.
We did not choose to cooperate with universities in Hong Kong or abroad because my father, the chairman of Four Seasons Group, is patriotic and wants to take this opportunity to help the development of domestic science and technology so that we do not fall too far behind European and American countries.
So I hope everyone can seize this opportunity. This is definitely not a one-time collaboration. As long as this project is successful, we will have many follow-up research topics, and we will trouble the professors present here when they come."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Look how beautiful this statement is. In order to support domestic scientific and technological development, the project will be handed over to universities in the mainland.
When a normal person hears this, he will think, yes, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, universities abroad and in Hong Kong are more advanced. People would rather go to the mainland than go to top universities nearby. Isn't this patriotism?
Do you have the nerve to cheat such an honest fellow Hong Konger?
In fact, only Chen Xia himself knew the situation at the scene, and he had no choice but to make such arrangements.
It would be strange if foreign universities and related research institutions could keep secrets. If such advanced equipment is taken out and some information is leaked, it would be a disaster.
Chen Xia needs patents for all "endoscopes", including laparoscopes, thoracoscopes, hysteroscopes, gastroscopes, colonoscopes, bronchoscopes, arthroscopes, ENT endoscopes, cystourethroscopes, etc.
If some of the information is leaked and someone else applies for a patent first, Pumpkin Vine Company will be in great trouble when it wants to produce the entire machine.
We can only re-examine and circumvent these patents.
But what if it’s a patent that cannot be circumvented? What should we do?
Then he can only hold his temper and purchase from the other party or obtain patent authorization. The other party may ask for a very high price, and then it will be Chen Xia who will be the one to suffer.
Therefore, confidentiality must be done well. Cooperating with foreign universities is like delivering food to others.
It's better in China. Although domestic universities are a little behind, as long as you spend money and buy any experimental equipment you want, the gap will not be too big.
What? Foreigners are more creative? They have more ideas?
But Chen Xia already has a ready-made machine. What creativity do you need? Just make an identical machine for me. Don't come up with your own ideas.
The country is a land of mountains and rivers, and it is not just talk. If you ask it to innovate, it cannot do so. If you ask it to imitate, everyone in it is an expert, and their products may even be better than the original ones.
At the same time, Yuezhou is Chen Xia’s base camp. The Four Seasons Group alone has recruited more than 3,000 veterans. This is Chen Xia’s greatest security guarantee and the confidence to keep the secret.
The university presidents had no objections to Chen Shuqin's proposal for cooperation. These professors wanted to work in other places for a period of time, so they could go if they wanted to.
Anyway, you can still supervise graduate students, spend other people's money, and save your own school a lot of funds, which is very cost-effective.
The key point is that the "Four Seasons Group" donated RMB 5 million to each university, which is why the presidents are optimistic about it.
Chen Shuqin and Chen Xia handed over the specific preparatory work to their subordinates at the Four Seasons Group.
Four Seasons Group is registered in the Cayman Islands and has its headquarters in Hong Kong.
There is a 58-story skyscraper on Hong Kong Garden Avenue which is the headquarters of the Four Seasons Group.
Hong Kong lacks everything except professional managers. Almost all of them have a foreign education background and good professional qualities. They are the best tools.
This solved a problem that worried Chen Xia, which made him feel very happy.
In the evening, Chen Qiu took his aunt to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot.
While eating hot pot, Chen Shuqin casually asked, "Xiao Xia, where did you get these strange machines?"
Chen Qiu also put down her chopsticks and pricked up her ears. She wondered what kind of person her elder brother was. Others might not know, but how could she not know?
His technical secondary school diploma was issued by the hospital, and his college diploma was obtained through correspondence courses. He didn't even finish high school. If anyone said that his elder brother had the academic ability to create inventions, Chen Qiu would be the first one to disbelieve it.
Chen Xia felt a little guilty as he picked up a lot of mutton for his aunt.
"Aunt, if I tell you that I was born with these skills, that I can invent medicines and medical devices at will, would you believe me?"
