Li Wenyong said: "What if it fails in the end and can't find suitable tendons?"
Li Wenjun said: "Then we at least know which materials are unsuitable, which can be considered fruitful. For example, if some materials are easily corroded by alkaline, they are definitely not suitable for concrete. They will be eliminated directly."
Li Wenyong: "Even if suitable materials can be found, the cost is too high and they cannot be put into use."
Construction is different from manufacturing. A single product is too large, so when the unit price of materials increases, the construction cost will increase by millions or even hundreds of millions.
No one would be so stupid as to use high cost materials.
If no one uses it, there is no need for research and development.
Li Wenjun said: "Analyze specific problems in detail. For example, our bicycles have low-end products priced at a few hundred yuan, and high-end products priced at tens of thousands of yuan. As long as the strength is high enough, there is always a place for them."
Li Wenyong: "You said last time that the reservoir can be used. But the reservoir is also very large and the cost is too high. I think you may be too optimistic."
Li Wenjun said: "It can be used in military buildings. Or scientific research buildings, such as missile silos. These all require high-strength concrete."
Yang Shouzhuo finally saw that Li Wenyong was afraid that his efforts would not be rewarded, so he said: "As long as you can do it, Li Wenjun and I will be able to help you find customers."
Li Wenjun said: "If you are really worried about the cost, I can place a project R&D outsourcing order with your cement factory in the name of 'Wenjun Industrial'. In this way, the R&D costs will be completely borne by me."
In fact, he roughly understood that the cement factory has been struggling to make ends meet recently.
After allowing individuals to purchase real estate in the past two years, everyone has seen that the rise of the construction industry is inevitable, so many upstream and downstream related companies have emerged.
The cement plant has the smallest investment and the lowest technical requirements.
Therefore, there are the most newly built cement plants. Basically every county or even every township has at least one small cement plant.
However, the period of full-speed development of the construction industry has not yet arrived, so the cement industry seems to have entered an era of overcapacity.
These small cement factories don't care about environmental protection and safety, so their costs are low and their prices are very low, stealing away many customers.
Especially this year, the sales volume of Li Wenyong Cement Factory can barely maintain the same level as last year, but costs and labor are rising.
Recent research and development has emptied Li Wenyong's fortune, but there is no hope.
That's why Li Wenyong is under so much pressure.
Of course Li Wenyong understands the benefits of this, and the risks are not borne by him alone.
Moreover, "Wenjun Industrial" is large in size and has construction companies, so it doesn't have to worry about lack of market.
It’s nice to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
In fact, he came today to test the bulletproof performance of concrete and also wanted to demonstrate the product.
Li Wenyong: "Well, what are the conditions?"
This is not a personal issue between him and Li Wenjun, but a cooperation issue between the two companies.
It must be discussed in advance.
Li Wenjun replied: "At that time, the ownership of the scientific research results will also belong to me. You must hand over all the technical documents to us and cannot hide them. You just collect the money and complete the business I outsourced."
Li Wenyong frowned: "Does this mean that I can't use it if I make it myself?"
Li Wenjun sighed: "It's not like you won't be able to use it by then, but if you do, you will have to pay us patent royalties so that I can recover the R&D costs. We must first sign a legally binding cooperation agreement before we can implement it."
Sugar cane is not as sweet at both ends.
I also want to use a big tree to protect me from the wind and rain, but I also feel that the big tree blocks the sun and hinders my growth. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Only when efforts and returns are proportional can the market develop healthily.
Li Wenyong has to take care of the livelihood of hundreds of workers, but he carries the expectations of tens of thousands of people.
It was difficult for Yang Shouzhuo to interrupt. After all, they were brothers.
However, even if Li Wenyong makes the cement plant so big now, it is still not as grand as Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun is willing to bear all the risks of research and development, and agrees with Li Wenyong to use the technology when the time comes, but Li Wenyong is still obsessed with the final usage fee.
Besides, Li Wenjun had his own reasons for insisting on controlling this patent.
Key technologies cannot be controlled by others.
Li Wenjun smiled: "If you want to continue to develop it yourself, that's no problem. Then I will buy high-grade cement from you, or I can organize a team to develop it myself."
This means that he has made up his mind to master the technology of high-strength concrete. If Li Wenyong doesn't cooperate, he will do it himself.
Li Wenyong understood, and a trace of anger and fear suddenly surged in his heart.
With Li Wenjun's abilities and connections, it would be easy to surpass him.
So once Li Wenjun started getting involved in cement production, he basically had nothing to do.
In other words, he can only cooperate and move forward, with no way out.
Li Wenjun: "It's okay, you don't have to answer me right away. Think about it carefully."
At night, Li Wenyong drank alone on the rooftop.
Liu Dongmei turned around but couldn't find Li Wenyong, and found him on the rooftop.
She asked in surprise: "Why are you sitting on the roof in such a cold weather?"
Li Wenyong raised his chin into the distance: "Look."
Liu Dongmei turned around and took a look.
Their villa was originally on a hillside and the terrain was relatively high, so they could see most of the "Wenjun New City" at a glance.
The lights of thousands of houses in the distance flickered in the dark night.
The bright streetlights and traffic lights make the outline of the road look like flowing light.
She smiled: "It's quite beautiful."
"Ten years ago, when I sat on the top of the mountain and looked down, there was only an endless rice field. In ten years, he turned this place into a prosperous city." Li Wenyong took a sip of wine and sighed, " This younger brother of mine is really not an ordinary person."
Liu Dongmei snatched the wine bottle from his hand: "You always have problems with your liver function during physical examinations. Didn't you promise me not to drink?"
Li Wenyong pursed his lips.
Liu Dongmei asked: "Did something happen to you?"
Li Wenyong talked about what happened during the day, and then became more and more angry as he spoke. He gritted his teeth and said, "Look, he is really an exploitative capitalist. I do research and development, and he gets the results. Does he still have a little brotherhood in his heart?"
Liu Dongmei asked: "Have you ever thought about it? In fact, he could have built his own cement factory a long time ago, so why hasn't he done it yet?"
There are people and land, so the difficulty of technical research is not a problem for Li Wenjun at all.
Li Wenyong was stunned for a moment and remained silent.
Liu Dongmei: "Actually, I don't see how what you just said is harmful to you. He will provide the R&D funds, and you can use the results. He also didn't say not to let you keep the results and continue research and development. After all, you Isn’t it just manpower, time and sharing the results with him? He charges you royalties to recover the research and development costs. To put it bluntly, you feed the chickens and still expect to pick up an egg. What’s more? He’s so invested.”
