He only dared to think about the possibility of shocking the industry with a heavyweight paper and gaining both fame and fortune when he was daydreaming.

Now, all this has become a reality.

Moreover, the influence of this paper was beyond his imagination.

He secretly inquired about it and found out that Mr. Chen had made 8 billion yuan by using the patent. This was an extremely exaggerated number, beyond his imagination.

It is conceivable how great the influence of this patent is as it can leverage such a huge amount of capital.

At the beginning, the media reported irresponsibly, and several major battery companies also kept it secret. His reputation was not very loud.

As several major battery companies have launched new batteries and carried out some publicity, they have a cooperative relationship with the laboratory, so it is impossible for them to completely ignore the laboratory and they will definitely mention it in their publicity.

It was also from that time that he became famous, at least in the industry, and became a real celebrity. Many bigwigs that he could only look up to before took the initiative to call him.

Even his alma mater contacted him and wanted him to give a speech. This is a privilege only given to very successful alumni. He never thought that he would have such a day.

It can be said that his life has changed dramatically. After receiving the bonus from Mr. Chen, he now has a net worth of several million, and his salary has increased. He has also realized his dream of buying a car and a house, ten years earlier than he expected.

And he will never forget how he got everything he has now.

He is very clear about his own capabilities and is always very cautious when communicating with other bigwigs in the industry. He even found excuses to turn down invitations from his alma mater, because he was worried that his level was not high enough and he would appear weak in front of others.

During this period, he changed his previous mentality of just getting by and really devoted himself to studying. In addition to his daily work, he read various professional materials.

The more he learned, the more he felt that his level was not enough. Therefore, he had to cling to Mr. Chen's thigh even more tightly.

He knew that some of the assistants who knew about it thought that Mr. Chen was just lucky. When he heard such comments, he just laughed.

He remembered clearly that when Mr. Chen interviewed him, the requirements he put forward seemed extremely demanding. At that time, he even complained, did Mr. Chen still expect this laboratory to produce any results? Now recalling the whole process, it can be inferred that from the beginning, Mr. Chen seemed very sure that he could produce results.

As for why Mr. Chen did not publish the paper himself but gave him this opportunity to become famous, he didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

He didn't dare tell anyone about the abnormalities. Anyway, he just had to hold on to Mr. Chen's thighs.

Therefore, he did not answer the assistant and junior's question, but only warned him, "You must maintain sufficient respect for Mr. Chen."

Lin Lei agreed reluctantly. Even if Cai Weiye didn't say anything about this, he would not offend the financial sponsor who paid him for no reason.

…………

At around nine o'clock, Chen Xu went downstairs and took Cai Weiye and others to the venue.

This meeting, initiated by several major battery companies, was scheduled to be held in the auditorium of a prestigious university.

When Chen Xu entered the school gate, he couldn't help but look around curiously. When he was in high school, his dream was to be admitted to this university. Unfortunately, his grades were too poor, so it became a luxury. He didn't expect that the first time he came here, he was actually here for a meeting.

When he arrived at the venue, Chen Xu sat in his seat, holding his mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message to Bai Jinxuan.

In the future, there will be more and more such things.

The meeting started quickly, but he didn't really listen. It was about setting a standard, but in reality it was about dividing the pie. He didn't have enough weight now, so it was impossible for him to get more benefits.

Once he brings out the lithium-air battery, it’s time to set the rules of the game.

In any case, this is a good thing for the entire battery industry. Several companies are willing to promote this matter, and it is not just the battery industry that will benefit, but all supporting facilities industries will benefit.

For example, if the charging interface standard is unified, a charging station can be built to charge all types of electric vehicles. The development will definitely be more rapid.

Moreover, if the negotiations go smoothly, the standards agreed upon by these battery companies will form a community of interests, and after being promoted overseas, they can reap huge profits, provided that overseas countries can accept this standard.

These are things they need to discuss.

Chen Xu was sending messages on WeChat most of the time, using text input. He was in a meeting, so it was inconvenient to use voice.

Secretary Wen and Cai Weiye, who were sitting next to him, were not looking away, and were listening carefully to the speech on the stage. The boss could be distracted, but they had to listen carefully and figure out the distribution of interests. This was a must.

Finally it was noon, the meeting was suspended, and everyone had lunch first. Chen Xu took the opportunity to sneak out and take a look at the campus.

He studied at a junior college, and the campus was so small, not even as big as a high school. Now that he has come to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, he wants to take a good look around.

Along the way, he met many students and was quite envious. For him when he was in high school, anyone who could get into this school was a top student.

He also studied in a provincial key school. In his class, only one person was admitted here. But he was not in his class, and he didn't even remember that person's name.

He walked around the campus for an hour, thinking that the meeting might be about to start, and then he turned back to the auditorium.

The afternoon meeting was still so dull. Chen Xu was staring blankly at his phone. Bai Jinxuan had to record a program in the afternoon, which might take several hours. Luo Xiyun was in a meeting, and Yang Jinxia was inspecting the production line of flash memory particles. They were all busy.

[It seems that I need to make more friends. ]

He thought to himself, clicked on the contacts, and flipped through them. Some were people he hadn't contacted for a long time, or people he was not very familiar with. After a while, he suddenly stopped on a contact.

It was Cao Ningning's WeChat. I added her on WeChat when I sent her home last time. But after adding her, we never chatted.

He sent a message, "Are you busy?"

A few seconds later, there was a reply, "At school, it's lunch break, I'm checking my phone."

So Chen Xu started chatting with her.
