Chapter 68 68【Agreement】
The reason why Xiang Nan made this wish is also to enhance the relationship between Kusapari and his wife.
In the play, the relationship between the two of them is getting worse and worse, until it ends in divorce.
This made Raj very sad at one point, crying bitterly, saying that he had become a homeless child.
So Xiang Nan decided to try his best to maintain the relationship between Kusapari and his wife if possible, to avoid their divorce, and to prevent Raj from becoming a poor child from a broken family.
"Rajesh, you are such a good boy." Dr. Kusapari said with emotion, "PAPA knows that you don't need anything, so I'll give you a house."
Xiang Nan is still living in a rented house and does not have his own house yet.
As for houses in the United States, although many are very cheap, even houses that can be bought for one dollar in Philadelphia.
But houses in Los Angeles are still very expensive.
Especially Pasadena, where Caltech is located, ranks among the best in the United States in terms of high technology, higher education, tourism, sports, business, etc., so housing prices are relatively expensive. The average price per square meter is around $5,000.
If you are buying a single-family house, the price will be higher.
When he heard that he was going to help him buy a house, Xiang Nan couldn't help being surprised.
You know, before, the Kusaparis were always worried that Raj would stay in the United States, and they were looking forward to his return to India.
Unexpectedly, now he is willing to buy a house and property in the United States for himself.
This transformation is truly amazing.
And buying a house is also a good thing.
One, owning your own house is undoubtedly much more free than renting a house. You can decorate according to your own preferences, and you can also buy more furniture and home appliances to make your life more enjoyable.
For example, tenants are not allowed to install washing machines in the apartment, and tenants must use public washing machines to wash clothes. After you have your own house, you can buy a washing machine and wash clothes in your own home.
Secondly, although the United States does not require a house for marriage, as long as conditions permit, most couples will still consider buying a house instead of continuing to rent a house.
In "Friends", Chandler and Monica chose to buy a villa in the suburbs after having children; in "The Big Bang Theory", Howard and Bernadette also chose to move back to their own homes after having children; In Everyone Loves Raymond, Raymond and Deborah also choose to buy a house after pregnancy...
Xiang Nan is going to get married sooner or later, so now is a good time to buy a house. Even if he has money in the future and moves to a bigger house, the house can be sold for money.
…
"PAPA, do you really want to buy me a house?" Xiang Nan immediately confirmed.
"Yes, PAPA used to think that it's not good for you to stay in the United States. You can't make money, you can't achieve much, and you can't make any friends." Dr. Kusapari nodded, "But now you have done so much in the United States. Achievement, also learned how to make friends, how to enjoy life, so PAPA will not insist on you coming back."
"Thank you PAPA, I will always love you." Xiang Nan was also moved.
"By the way, Rajesh, your marriage with Lalita, if you really don't like her, just stop it." Mrs. Kusapari said again.
"Hey, why do you say that?" Xiang Nan asked curiously when he heard this.
Before, she insisted that he get married as soon as possible.
"Because you are so capable, there have been a lot of people saying goodbye to you recently." Dr. Kusapari said with a smile, "Compared to this, Lalita's conditions are not the best. OK."
"Yes, there are many beautiful girls who want to marry you." Mrs. Kusapari also smiled, "Son, you can choose slowly, don't worry."
"Well, it's right to do so. Then you can make up your own mind." Mrs. Kusapari nodded and said.
The son is affectionate and righteous, which she appreciates very much.
…
Penny learned from Leonard that after Xiang Nan won the MacArthur Genius Award and received a prize of 500,000 US dollars, she couldn't help being both happy and annoyed.
If Sheldon hadn't made trouble, she would still be with Xiang Nan now. Wouldn't he also have his share of the five hundred thousand dollars? !
Thinking of this, she has more opinions on Sheldon.
…
Xiang Nan won the MacArthur Genius Award. In addition to gaining a lot of prestige and a bonus of 500,000 US dollars, there is another biggest gain, that is, the negotiation speed is greatly accelerated.
Because he won the MacArthur Genius Award, Xiang Nan's popularity increased again and attracted the attention of the media.
If the negotiation is exposed, it is likely to damage the reputation of the school, which in turn will affect the school's recruitment of talents.
You must know that for some experts with ideals, such as Leonard, Sheldon, Leslie, etc., salary is not the first priority.
If they want to make a lot of money, they can go to work in the enterprise. With their skills, it is not difficult to make more money.
But rather than making money, they prefer scientific research and explore the truth of the world.
If they knew that the school would take away three-quarters of the patents of all their scientific research results, and would forcibly search offices and laboratories to rob them, then few people would dare to come to Caltech to work.
So it was inevitable that nights would be long and dreamy, and the school made a big concession in the following negotiations.
Finally, after nearly a week of gaming, the two parties finally reached a consensus and signed a related agreement.
The agreement stipulates that Caltech holds three quarters of the patent rights for the quantum navigation system, and Xiang Nan, Leslie, and Howard hold one quarter.
Follow-up development is hosted by Xiang Nan, Leslie, and Howard. The three are responsible for forming a scientific research team and leading the team for further development.
In the three-person team, Xiang Nan is the core.
The promotion and application of the quantum navigation system is led by the school, while Xiang Nan, Leslie, and Howard have the right to supervise.
In addition, the agreement also stipulates the amount of investment in subsequent research and development, the salary and benefits of the three people and the scientific research team, and the method and time of profit distribution, etc.
It can be said that from all aspects, the interests of the school and Xiang Nan and others are guaranteed.
…
After confirming that they were correct, all three of Xiang Nan signed the agreement with the school.
"Raj, let's turn over the previous unpleasantness, and don't mention it again." Principal Seibert held Xiang Nan's hand and said with a smile, "Let's work together to do a good job in the research and development of the quantum navigation system."
"Principal, what you said is exactly what I think." Xiang Nan smiled slightly when he heard it, "The past is over, we should look forward. I also hope to cooperate sincerely with the school and unite as one."
"Okay, very good." Principal Seibert nodded and smiled.
After signing the agreement, under the operation of the school, the quantum navigation system officially applied for a patent.
As soon as the news was announced, there was an immediate sensation.
