Zhao Yi certainly had no interest in becoming the director. Biodical research was just one part of his job; he was already pushing the limits by finding ti to occasionally conduct research.
As a pure scientist, he had no desire to take on administrative duties.
From a professional standpoint, the directorship was not particularly impressive. It might be a higher administrative position, but with a myriad of mundane tasks, it could not compare to being the head of a laboratory.
The laboratory was much simpler, with only a few researchers, making it easier to manage due to the smaller number of people.
The laboratory’s funding was also flexible. Most of the daily expenses, such as equipnt purchases, maintenance, project developnt funds, and staff salaries, were all covered by the institute.
The main purpose of the laboratory’s funds was to cover daily expenses, for instance, if the lab’s staff wanted to have a group dinner, they could use the lab’s funds, or for distributing extra bonuses to the lab’s staff.
And so on.
Significant expenses were all handled by the institute; ’extra benefits’ for the lab staff were the main use of the laboratory funds.
If the laboratory had abundant funds, the staff’s welfare and treatnt would be so high that no one would even think of going out to set up their own lab.
That was the case for Ai Lixin, Zhu Qi, and Li Ming. They were qualified to apply to open their own labs, and the institute would support this and even provide financial and equipnt assistance, but they had absolutely no interest. They preferred to continue working in Zhao Yi’s laboratory because they could receive the ’maximum salary’ each year, as well as many daily benefits.
Not to ntion, they were able to complete one big project after another.
If these projects were left to them alone, it would be difficult to co up with results even after several years.
After completing the collaboration with the pharmaceutical companies, the remaining research was left to the other lab mbers, and Zhao Yi didn’t pay much attention to this. The follow-up work was transparent, mostly undertaken by the pharmaceutical partners. The lab’s researchers were fully capable, so there was no need for him to worry about anything.
Zhao Yi was wholeheartedly focused on the research of spatial analysis and would occasionally pay attention to inco, as it was a period of patent revenue explosion.
There’s no need to elaborate on the Tianqing Protein patent, which reliably brought in tens of millions every three months, and recently had even seen growth, reaching as high as eighty million RMB at one point.
Compared to this, the one-off paynt of over a hundred million RMB for signing the agreent on the universal cancer immunotherapy seed like small change; when the patent share would start paying out, nobody knew.
Another source of inco was extrely considerable— the patent share from the Aviation Group’s anti-gravity technology.
Though Zhao Yi only held a three percent patent right, the anti-gravity patent authorization and sales of the anti-gravity devices brought in staggeringly high profits. The first patent fee settlent earned him an inco of 2.3 billion RMB.
This inco even made it to the front page of dostic public opinion.
"The anti-gravity device enjoys massive global sales, and the Aviation Group has generated incredible profits, steadily recouping the R&D costs."
"anwhile, as the most important researcher behind the anti-gravity technology, Academician Zhao Yi has received his first cut of the patent revenue, amounting to 2.3 billion RMB ..."
"It’s believed that future patent revenues will be even more substantial, essentially flowing in endlessly. With this source of patent inco, Academician Zhao Yi could beco one of the wealthiest people in the world."
"’The book holds a house of gold,’ Academician Zhao Yi has shown us the truth of this saying ..."
The exposure of Zhao Yi’s patent revenue was clearly orchestrated by the Aviation Group or perhaps higher-ups, as dostically there was a desire to use Zhao Yi as a model to tell all researchers that by working hard on advanced R&D, they too could achieve high earnings, as opposed to the often ntioned ’selfless dedication.’
Researchers are human too; they need a normal life, they need to marry and raise children. Who would wish to selflessly dedicate themselves under imnse life pressures, and let the money that should belong to them slip through their fingers?
Selfless dedication is often nothing more than a lofty concept in most cases.
This propaganda had a significant effect.
Many researchers felt a surge of motivation after seeing the news.
It was impossible to compare with Zhao Yi, God Zhao, but even attaining one thousandth of that would an 2.3 million RMB, a fortune that most people could not amass even after a lifeti of hard work.
At the sa ti,
Zhao Yi was also paying attention to another ’patent,’ the first market-ready Space Link Technology device prepared for public sale.
The Space Information Technology company was not inactive; it had started developing the first space connection technology device intended for the market as soon as it was established because the device required the participation of many companies, and thus was still researching the production of components.
Zhao Yi was the main designer of the device and had secured a five percent technical patent right. Initially, he had also invested one hundred million personally, holding two percent of the Space Information Technology company’s shares.
Therefore, Zhao Yi was very concerned about the developnt of the Space Information Technology company. The first device intended for market sales was one he designed in two days based on the technical paraters provided by various collaborating enterprises.
This device was designated as the KJ-1 model, about the size of a laptop, with a disc-shaped body, equipped with a balancing stand underneath, and a raised rear section connected to the electronic system.
