Chapter 44 ktj Chemical Industry (Second update, please collect)

A few hours later, as soon as the plane landed, Li Yian made a call to Carl directly at the airport. The content of the call was very simple, which was to hire a lawyer from the company to find someone at Caltech.

Although transportation in this era was not very developed, thanks to the developed communications and legal industry in the United States, it only took a few telegrams to reach an agreement with a Los Angeles law firm on the East Coast.

"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 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. It had to be said that even after [-] years of working as a lawyer, Hudson had never seen such a generous employer.

"Here's $20000 for the patent you hold!"

When he received the wire transfer check, Hudson couldn't even believe it was real.

$20000!

Just to buy a patent that seems to be of little use!

This is simply...unbelievable!
  "$20000!"

my Lord!
  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 and looked at the 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 she can also buy a car, if she can buy it...

At this time, he had a lot on his 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 $20000?
  Galston himself was not sure. US$2000 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 for now - twenty thousand dollars.

Someone actually paid $[-] for his invention!
  "Mr. Galston, the check means everything. As long as you sign the contract, the money is yours."

$20000!

Anyone in this world would be tempted by it, and Hudson knew it, and no one could resist its temptation.

If it were him, let alone a 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 $20000!

As long as this deal is brokered, Hudson will spend the rest of his life showing off all this!
  "Mr. Galston, you must know that in this world, opportunities are always fleeting."

"That……"

Looking at the contract in front of him carefully again, after making sure that it was real, Galston finally signed his name, and then he asked again.

"Sir, you just said that they are 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 of course he can continue to engage in the research he loves, and You can also get a good salary. “We’re going back to New York!”

In the train station, Galston, who was carrying a suitcase, took his wife Dale Judith Kunz's hand 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..."

Now Galston is full of various imaginations about the future. Although he has obtained a doctorate and should have a happier future than his father, it's just that now it all happened so fast. He even couldn't believe it was 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.

"Yes, our lives will be completely different when we get to New York."

Just at this moment, Dalai's eyes fell on a person and said.

"Huh? Look, it's Sun."

Sun Tianlei, who was carrying a suitcase, also saw them, their classmates at Caltech.

"Arthur, Darai, why are you here..."

Sun Tianlei said.

"Are you going to New York?"

"Yes, how about you?"

Dalai said as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Sun, are you going to the KTJ laboratory in New York?"

KTJ Laboratory was the laboratory that hired Galston and acquired his patents. The reason why Dalai asked this was because Sun Tianlei was also a chemist.

"Why, are you the same?"

"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 Japs...

As a Chinese student studying abroad, Sun Tianlei is undoubtedly upright.

Well, he really guessed it right. Li Yian was so upright many times. In fact, the reason why he searched for chemists and botanists across the United States was to... kill the Japanese devils.

And it's to the maximum extent possible.
