Jing Jian was purely responsible for helping Yan Kun. For Yan Kun and others, the most troublesome foreign exchange problem, the issue of applying for patents in foreign countries, is nothing more than a piece of cake for Jing Jian.

After a few phone calls, Jing Jian turned back to Yan Kun: "Yan Gong, I just contacted a patent property firm in Germany. They will send a patent negotiation specialist and lawyer to discuss tomorrow. There is no need to worry about the cost. They provide an agency. If the patent has enough value, the agency can advance it. If it cannot be sold, you don't have to pay. If it is sold, in addition to the fee for applying for the patent, the agency will charge a 15% commission."

"You still have to sell it?" Yan Kun was surprised and happy, "It may not be possible to pass the institute."

"Haha." Jing Jian smiled and said, "It's time to talk about it. You can retain domestic patents and only sell foreign patent rights. Anyway, you can't get a penny, and now you can have some foreign exchange. I believe that you will never agree, right?"

"That's the reason." Zhu Guoliang and the others were talking, "Mr. Yan, are you going to congratulate you on your wealth?"

"Knowing, joke." Yan Kun quickly said modestly, "It is also for the country to create foreign exchange, but I have to give the institute a call first." In this era, scientific researchers like Yan Kun have no personal patent income after the results are produced. The only thing they can get is professional titles, honors or bonuses of several hundred yuan.

And that agency company is nothing more than a patent donor affiliated to the firm. Of course, such donors will try to achieve patent transfer and charge an agency fee of about 10%.

However, in commercial agreements, there is generally no rules for advance payment. The money was paid by Jing Jian through the Hamburg branch. It was nothing more than tens of thousands of dollars. Jing Jian was willing to do such a favor. Of course, if the transfer was successful, the 5% of the money would also be returned to Yan Kun, and he would not make such a small amount of money at all. As for Yan Kun's decision to keep it or hand it over, he would just deal with it.

...

After the explanation, Jing Jian no longer cared about this matter. Anyway, it was Yan Kun’s own choice to negotiate with him. However, the next morning, when he was having a buffet with Zhu Guoliang in the restaurant, Yan Kun was anxiously looking for Jing Jian: "Old Zhu, can you lend me Xiao Jing for a day? I have no idea about the negotiations today!"

Zhu Guoliang was both angry and funny: "I said Xiao Yan, don't you have a full-time translator? If it really doesn't work, you can go to the embassy and consulate to borrow people. How could you think of Xiao Jian?"

Zhu Guoliang had already communicated with Jing Jian last night. It is best not to participate in such business activities. It is okay to make a move, but you should avoid suspicion when you negotiate in detail.

But Yan Kun had his own thoughts: "Old Zhu, our institute has strong support, so let Xiaojing do a favor! You don't know, it's nothing if you don't mention it. When you mention the entire institute, it seems that it can only succeed. I haven't slept well all night. This is Xiaojing's relationship. He can be by his side, so he has a greater confidence."

After all, intellectuals are more concerned about face. When Yan Kun begs like this, Zhu Guoliang felt a little embarrassed, so he looked at Jing Jian with inquiring eyes: "Look..."

Jing Jian smiled: "Old Zhu, then I'll take a look? Master Yan, I really can't help or come up with any ideas."

"It's okay! You'll be here. After returning to China, please come to the institute with you."

“…”

Facts proved that Yan Kun's considerations were a bit complicated. He couldn't blame him. In fact, people in this era rarely had the opportunity to negotiate business with foreigners. In the morning, after the firm and agency came, they negotiated the agreement for agency application and transfer. They were all internationally accepted standard contracts, and there was nothing to talk about, so they quickly signed the agreement. Jing Jian really sat on the side for the whole process.

After lunch, Yan Kun, Jing Jian and Liu Translator, who participated in the negotiations, took a bus to the venue. Because the morning went smoothly, the three of them were in a very relaxed mood. However, as soon as they entered the venue, they were stopped by several Westerners.

"Hello, who is Mr. Yan Kun from China? Let me introduce myself. My name is Ball, and I am the business manager of Fix Chemical."

"Hello." Yan Kun shook hands with those people in confusion, "Is there anything you have?"

"Can we talk a little?" Ball smiled, "It's about your paper."

At this time, no matter how dull Yan Kun was, he understood that these Europeans must have taken a fancy to the patent in their hands.

"Long story, Mr. Yan, we have seen your research, and Fix Chemical Industry is very interested. Mr. Eisingdorf and Dr. Franz are both colleagues in my technical department. Can we take a look at the full draft of your paper? If the content is true and credible, we want to obtain your technology transfer." Ball said.

"Hmm?" If there was no agreement this morning, Yan Kun might have communicated with these people happily. But now, he was a little hesitant.

When Ball saw Yan Kun's hesitation, he immediately persuaded: "You can go to the organizing committee to file the content of your paper. You can rest assured that we have no intention of infringement. We just want to know the value of your research and we can give a suitable price."

Although plagiarism and infringement in the academic world and the market are everywhere, it is sometimes not so easy. For example, the paper will not be so detailed, and will never write down the details of the experiment, and will not list detailed experimental records. Therefore, if the two papers are similar, one has detailed experimental records and the other has no, it will be easy to get rid of. By the way, it will take a certain amount of time to do repeated experiments.

But on the other hand, after getting the core content, as long as you have enough time, you can definitely repeat the experiment. In addition, commercial enterprises like Fex Chemical have no reputation at all. If you get Yan Kun's paper, of course, you can admit that it was the research you made. But if you don't apply for a patent, I will naturally register it. There is no psychological burden to do such a thing.

So here, Mr. Ball took advantage of this to trick Yan Kun into finding research results. In fact, he will appear here today because of the topic and outline that Yan Kun sent at that time. After searching for Fix Chemical, he found that there was no such patent at all. To be honest, if Yan Kun was really stupid to communicate like this, he would probably not be able to get a penny.
