Chapter 44 ktj Chemical Industry (Second update, please collect)
A few hours later, as soon as the plane landed, Li Yian made a phone call to Karl directly at the airport. The content of the call was very simple. , that is, the company hires a lawyer to go to Caltech to find someone.
Although transportation in this era was not very developed, it benefited from the developed communications and legal industry in the United States. With only a few telegrams, Carl, who was far away on the East Coast, contacted a Los Angeles law firm. An agreement was reached.
"What? What did you say?"
Arthur Galston looked at the lawyer in front of him and asked with some confusion.
"Well, Mr. Galston, there is a company on the East Coast that is very interested in you and the "Plant Growth Regulator" you invented, so they are not only willing to buy the patent you hold, but they are also willing to provide a The position allows you to continue to engage in research in this direction, I don’t know if you are interested.”
While speaking, Lawyer Hudson had already taken out a check from his briefcase, and it has to be said that even if it is. After working as a lawyer for forty years, Hudson has never seen such a generous employer.
“Here’s $20,000 to buy the patent you hold!”
When he received the wire transfer check, Hudson couldn’t even believe it was true.
$20,000!
Just to buy a patent that seems to be of little use!
This is simply...unbelievable!
“$20,000!”
Oh my God!
Born in Brooklyn, New York, his father lost his job during the Great Depression. Arthur Galston's memories of his youth were always spent in hunger. He looked at the check with incredible eyes. On the current string of zeros.
This money is equivalent to several years of his salary. With this money, not only can his wife move into a new house, but also buy a car, if it can be bought...
At this time, he I have a lot on my mind.
Of course, he also thought about the debts his father owed, and he would also help his father repay some debts.
But reason still allowed Arthur Galston to speak.
“Are you sure? Sir, this plant regulator can only accelerate the early flowering and fruiting of soybeans...”
Is this invention worth $20,000?
Gelston himself was not sure. US$2,000 was more realistic. Even when he invented this plant regulator, he did not find any special use for it.
After all, its yield-increasing effect is very limited. If it is used during planting, it can even be said to be a bit of a loss.
It is simply an invention with no production value. Of course it may be useful in the future, but now - twenty thousand dollars.
Someone would actually pay $20,000 for his invention!
"Mr. Galston, the check means everything. As long as you sign the contract, the money is yours."
$20,000!
Anyone in this world will be tempted by it, and Hudson knows this very well, and no one can resist its temptation.
If it were him, let alone the patent, even if he sold his wife to that guy, he wouldn't blink an eye. Even if you just want to hook up with your daughter, it's not impossible.
That’s $20,000!
As long as this deal is brokered, Hudson will spend the rest of his life showing off all this!
"Mr. Galston, you need to know that in this world, opportunities are always fleeting."
"Then..."
Once again After carefully examining the contract in front of him, Galston finally signed his name after making sure that it was real, and then he asked again.
"Sir, you just said that they are still willing to give me a job. How is the salary there?"
This company is definitely the most generous company Galston has ever seen, and because of this, Galston hopes to work for this company, where he can continue to pursue the research he loves, and You can also get a good salary. "We are going back to New York!"
In the train station, Galston, who was carrying a suitcase, held the hand of his wife Dale Judith Kunz and said excitedly .
"When we get to New York, I will buy a house, a house that belongs to us, not an apartment, but a house with at least four bedrooms..."
Build Now Wolston is full of various imaginations about the future. Although he has already obtained a doctorate degree, he should have a happier future than his father. However, now all this has happened so quickly, so fast that he Some even can't believe it's true.
In fact, Galston was already unemployed, and by the time the lawyer found him, he and his wife moved to Pasadana for that job, because the plant biologist at Caltech James Bonner invited him to work on a war-related project, calling a Mexican shrub called Guile. Their research is to extract rubber from it as a rubber raw material. This project is supported by the military and aims to provide rubber to the army. Just when this project was successful. With the mass production of synthetic rubber, the military no longer needs this project.
Without the support of the military, Galston naturally became unemployed. Just when he was thinking about his next job, a sudden job invitation and the check to purchase a patent changed everything. All have changed.
“Yes, when we get to New York, our lives will be completely different from now.”
At this moment, Dalai’s eyes fell on a person and he said.
“Huh? Look, it’s Sun.”
Sun Tianlei, who was carrying a suitcase, also saw them, their classmates at Caltech.
"Arthur, Dalai, why are you here..."
Sun Tianlei said.
“Are you going to New York?”
“Yes, what about you?”
Dalai said as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Sun, are you going to the KTJ Laboratory in New York?"
KTJ Laboratory is the laboratory that hired Galston and acquired his patents. The reason why Dalai I ask this because Sun Tianlei is also a chemist.
"Why, are you guys too?"
"Yes, Arthur went there too. It's really great. I didn't expect you to work together."
While feeling happy, Dalai said curiously.
"Sun, do you know what KTJ means?"
"KTJ..."
Sun Tianlei simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Who knows? Maybe "Kill the Japs.""
Kill the Japanese devils...
As a Chinese student, Sun Tianlei is undoubtedly upright.
Well, he really guessed it right. Li Yian is so upright many times. In fact, the reason why he searched for chemists and botanists across the United States was to... kill Japs.
And it is the maximum kind.
