Priya then drove into Xiang Nan's car, went to Huntington Restaurant, and picked up Peggy.

"Raj, what happened? Why did the school search your office for no reason?" After arriving, Peggy asked in confusion.

She really couldn't understand what Xiang Nan could do to make the school treat him like this. It was simply unimaginable.

Xiang Nan looked at Howard and Leslie and said, "I don't think there is any need to keep it secret now. This matter will be made public soon, and the patent will be applied for soon. There is no need to hide it any longer."

.”

Howard and Leslie both nodded.

Once they reach an agreement with the school, the quantum navigation system will be patented immediately, and everyone will know it by then. If they cannot reach an agreement with the school and the entire project is abandoned, there will be no need to keep it secret.

"What's going on?" Peggy couldn't help asking when she saw that they were talking strangely.

"That's it. Howard, Leslie, I, and I have successfully developed a quantum navigation system." Xiang Nan looked at Peggy and solemnly announced.

"What?! Really?" Peggy was also extremely surprised when she heard this.

After the concept of quantum navigation system was launched in 2001, many countries and scientific research institutions began to invest heavily in research and development.

A large amount of manpower, material and financial resources have been invested in this effort, costing more than tens of billions of dollars.

Even so, let alone building a prototype, even the theory has not been perfected. Until now, it is still just an idea.

She really didn't expect that just three people, Xiang Nan, could pull it off. It sounded like a myth.

"Really." Xiang Nan nodded confidently.

"Oh, is this the project you kept secret from me before?" Peggy said suddenly.

When she saw Xiang Nan and Howard talking about "projects" mysteriously before, she asked Xiang Nan curiously. At that time, he rejected her on the pretext of confidentiality.

At the time, I thought he was making a fool of himself, but I didn't expect it to be a really big project.

"Not bad." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Then since you have developed such advanced technology, the school should take it very seriously. Why is it still searching your office?" Peggy asked again in confusion.

Xiang Nan then recounted the causes and consequences.

After hearing this, Peggy suddenly realized.

"So that's it. So, the school is really hateful." She nodded and said, "Then what should we do now?"

"Now we are waiting for the school to negotiate with us." Xiang Nan explained, "I gave it one day to think about it, and there should be a reply tomorrow. Let's stay here today and act together."

Peggy nodded.

…

Everyone stayed in the room until the next day, even ordering room service for meals.

During this period, people continued to call, asking for information, persuading me to relent, or threatening and intimidating.

Leonard also called to express his concern and said he wanted to come and visit everyone.

However, Xiang Nan didn't let him come over. This matter is still unclear, and he has nothing to do with it from beginning to end, so there is no point in involving him again.

Suddenly, Xiang Nan and others received calls more frequently.

Almost as soon as the call was hung up, the next call came in immediately.

Moreover, the proportion of those who persuade them to be soft and those who threaten them have increased a lot.

"It seems that the school has discovered that the information they searched does not involve the quantum navigation system." Priya analyzed, "So now they have a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other to force you to submit."

"That's right, so when this time comes, the less we can panic." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "We have to prepare for the worst and expect the best results."

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded.

…

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Xiang Nan received a call from Gablehouse.

"Hi, doctor." He answered the phone and greeted with a smile.

"Hi, Raj, where are you now?" Gablehouse asked with a smile.

"I'm eating out." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Doctor, what can I do?"

"Raj, don't be willful anymore. Come back and let's talk." Gablehouse said with a smile.

"What, is the school willing to talk to us?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile after hearing this.

"Actually, the school has always wanted to negotiate with you, and the door to negotiation is always open to you." Gablehouse said with a smile.

"Is that true? Then who sent the people who searched my office yesterday? This is not an attitude that requires negotiation." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"That was all a misunderstanding. Now, everything has been returned to its original owner. If you have any losses, you can also file a claim for compensation with the school." Gablehouse said with a smile, "Raj, you are a smart man, I have always

I'm very optimistic about you. Come back and let's have a good talk."

"Okay, doctor, since you invited me, I can talk." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at school." Seeing that Xiang Nan agreed to talk, Gablehouse said happily.

After Principal Sebot rejected Xiang Nan's cooperation conditions, he immediately sent people from the Internal Affairs Office to search the offices and laboratories of Xiang Nan, Howard, Leslie and others, hoping to find the research and development materials and prototypes of the quantum navigation system.

machine.

In this way, the school can take the technology as its own and kick Xiang Nan and others out of the game.

But I didn't expect that he would move quickly, and Xiang Nan and others would move even faster and transfer the data and prototype in advance.

Although the Internal Affairs Office searched many things, none of them were related to the quantum navigation system.

Seeing that his plan to harvest the fruits of victory was ruined, Principal Sebot had no choice but to give in.

Otherwise, if Xiang Nan really destroys the quantum navigation system, the school will suffer the most.

After all, the school holds 75% of the patent rights and takes the bulk of the patent fees.

The annual loss is at least thirty to forty billion U.S. dollars, which is not a small amount.

…

After Xiang Nan hung up the phone, he immediately took everyone back to school.

Dean Gablehouse personally welcomed him.

He is the one with the closest relationship with Xiang Nan among the senior officials of the school, so he plays the role of a middleman based on his little friendship.

"These are..." Gablehouse looked at the three people behind Xiang Nan and said.

"These three are the lawyers we invited." Xiang Nan explained with a smile, "We respect this negotiation very much, so we specially invited lawyers to witness it."

When Gablehouse heard this, his face suddenly stiffened.

I originally thought that Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie were all nerds and geeks who only knew how to do scientific research but did not understand the world.

During the negotiation, you may be tricked by the school.

But I didn't expect that they were so well prepared and even hired a lawyer in advance.
