244: Confidential Patent!

"Mr. Guo Hao, are you sure you want to apply for the invention patent for this wire?"

The staff member looked at Guo Hao and asked.

"Hmm, I want to apply..."

Just as Guo Hao was about to speak.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, the Leader from the nearby Patent Bureau walked over.

"Dr. Guo Hao, please wait a moment."

The Leader quickly said to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao was slightly taken aback. How did this Leader know him?

Moreover, he was applying for a patent, so why did this Leader appear and try to stop him??

"What's wrong?"

Guo Hao looked at the Leader with some confusion and asked.

"Is there a problem with this wire of mine??"

"No, no, our professionals have specifically tested it. There is no problem with your wire. However, there are some issues related to this patent. A... Leader wants to see you."

The Leader from the Patent Bureau smiled, looked at Guo Hao, and said.

"Oh?"

Guo Hao was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect this kind of thing. Could it be that when he applied for the patent, the data for this wire was noticed by someone?

But why so fast?

This speed is a bit too fast!

Is someone specifically watching him?

Guo Hao was slightly speechless, but he also knew that given his current situation, he was definitely being watched by many eyes, which was a very normal thing.

"Then this patent..."

The Patent Bureau Leader smiled.

"We will naturally help you with the patent application, but regarding the technical details, we will help you hide them because this is already a major national invention patent."

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

It seems this wire has really been favored by a certain Big Shot!

But this is something that just came out of the Laboratory. Mass industrial production hasn't started yet, and there's no process patent. It shouldn't be valued this much, right...

After thinking for a moment, Guo Hao couldn't figure out what the Big Shot was thinking.

He didn't stay long at the Patent Bureau. Soon, Guo Hao was picked up by car and taken to an office.

National Energy Bureau, Director's Office.

"Student Guo Hao, this is our first time meeting, right!"

As soon as Guo Hao walked into the office, Director Hu of the Energy Bureau stood up, walked in front of Guo Hao, and shook Guo Hao's hand. Director Hu's face was full of smiles.

"Hello, Director Hu..."

Guo Hao wasn't overly nervous. After all, he had met Big Leaders more than once.

Although the Energy Bureau is also a behemoth.

But Guo Hao wasn't too afraid.

"Student Guo Hao won't blame me for suddenly calling you over, right?"

Director Hu smiled slightly and said, looking at Guo Hao in front of him.

"No, no, I just don't quite understand the purpose of you calling me over..."

Guo Hao looked at Director Hu with some confusion.

"Come, have a seat first."

Director Hu smiled and didn't rush to answer Guo Hao's question. Instead, he invited Guo Hao to sit down in a nearby seat.

Guo Hao and Director Hu took their seats on the nearby sofa.

Director Hu made a cup of tea for Guo Hao.

While doing so, Director Hu spoke to Guo Hao.

"Regarding your wire, I have already obtained the data. Sorry, it's mainly because this material is truly very important. The resistance is so low. If it can be made into ultra-high voltage wires.

Then the current we lose each year due to power transmission can be reduced by at least half! The direct economic benefits brought about are at least on the scale of hundreds of billions!"

As he talked about the data, Director Hu clearly became much more excited.

These are all blatant political achievements!

"Not to mention, if this kind of wire can be mass-produced, it can also bring considerable economic benefits in many fields, as well as many potential benefits!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Director Hu's words, Guo Hao's expression was slightly helpless.

"Director Hu, it's like this. Our current wire is still a Laboratory product. The industrial preparation of carbon fiber wire itself is also a key and difficult subject.

I myself am not good at the industrial implementation of such Laboratory products, and we also don't know what the final production cost of this thing will be..."

To be honest, when Guo Hao was making this wire in the Laboratory, he didn't consider these at all.

He was more interested in verifying the accuracy of his Materials Science Big Model.

After verification, Guo Hao was actually quite satisfied.

As for the future of this wire, Guo Hao didn't care much.

He didn't expect that when he went to apply for the patent, he would be stopped by the Leader of the Energy Bureau.

This is a good thing, but if this thing is classified as a state secret, then what about his Dr. thesis?!

Can he still publish papers?

If he can't publish papers, how can he prove his Materials Science Big Model?

Thinking of this, Guo Hao felt a little helpless.

But he also knew that the bigger picture was more important.

"What you said is indeed very important, but the focus is still on your patent."

Director Hu smiled, looking at Guo Hao.

"Regarding your patent, I think it should be applied for as a confidential patent. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Guo Hao nodded.

Great!

Wasted a month's effort, the Dr. thesis is directly ruined.

The task also directly lost a major achievement!

Guo Hao felt his heart bleeding.

"Okay!"

Hearing Guo Hao agree, Director Hu's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Regarding this patent, how about we cooperate on its development? We will handle the transformation of the results. You will hold shares based on the patent. We will handle all the subsequent process conversion, all the investment in the factory.

You will hold a 20% stake based on the patent. What do you think?"

Director Hu looked at Guo Hao expectantly and asked.

"Okay."

Guo Hao nodded.

Holding a 20% stake based on the patent is actually quite high.

After all, for a Laboratory product to be implemented, it requires more effort and money than in the Laboratory, and there are countless examples of unsuccessful transformations.

Not to mention, it also requires inventing specialized preparation equipment, and factory construction and the like are also astronomical figures.

And Guo Hao doesn't need to do anything. He just takes the 20% dry shares and waits for the dividends.

This factory will likely be under the Energy Bureau.

It's considered state-owned capital.

There will be no shortage of money earned.

After Director Hu chatted with Guo Hao for a while longer, Guo Hao said goodbye and left Director Hu's office.

Soon, Guo Hao returned to the Laboratory.

"How did the patent application go!?"

Zhao Yang asked Guo Hao curiously.

"You've made a fortune! Normally, in Laboratories like this that cooperate with the school and Academician Jiang Lei, the patent rights are usually in the hands of the school and Academician Jiang Lei.

But Academician Jiang Lei personally authorized the patent rights to all belong to you. You've really made a fortune!"

Zhao Yang looked at Guo Hao enviously.

"It should be considered... approved, right?"

Guo Hao hesitated slightly.

"What do you mean 'should be considered...'?"
