Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1157 Murphy's Law

As soon as Rock and Kitchener walked out of the office door, they heard loud cheers behind them.

The industry-university-research system in southern Africa guarantees the interests of R&D personnel to the greatest extent.

For many capitalists, buying a patent is a one-shot deal. They only need to pay a fee to buy out the patent. Compared with the profits generated by the patent, the buyout fee is very low, and it is completely out of proportion to the R&D personnel’s efforts. .

Nyasaland is very mature in this area. The 20.00% stake guarantees the interests of the six institutes and Feng Ding to the greatest extent, giving Feng Ding enough motivation to continue to improve the computer. It is a great encouragement to all researchers involved in this matter.

The current hand-cranked computer is very expensive, so don’t underestimate the 20.00% share, even if only [-]% is given to Feng Ding in the end, it still represents a profit of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of rand per month, this is the value of knowledge , Only when the whole society deeply realizes that "knowledge is value", can the whole society form a pursuit of knowledge, culture, and science instead of other messy things.

When he heard the cheers behind him, Rock couldn't help showing a smile. Nyasaland's strength was accumulated bit by bit. Civil officials are not greedy for money, and generals are not afraid of death. It is true that the world is not in peace, but The country cannot be rich, and the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment. Powerful technology is the primary productive force, and it is also the driving force for the continuous progress of the whole society.

Therefore, the pillars of the national economy should be science and technology, industry, and the selfless efforts of countless scientific researchers who work day and night.

Kitchener's understanding was not as deep, but while Kitchener lamented the profound technological background of Nyasaland, he was also interested in Rock's handling method.

In Britain, even if it is a promising practical technology, it still faces many difficulties in its practical application, not only the bloated and inefficient government agencies, but also the rich people in the UK who lack Rock’s swiftness and resoluteness. They just want to keep the wealth they own and refuse any form of change, while those businessmen are busy competing with the nobles for power and profit, which will definitely affect the development of the enterprise.

"This is the reason why southern Africa wants to have greater autonomy. The same thing, if it is passed in London, I am afraid that it will not be possible in three to five months, or even three to five years. Take what we just said For the computers I have seen, needless to say three to five years, maybe they will be replaced by similar products in three to five months. At that time, the loss will not only be time and money, but more importantly, it may be people in a certain industry. Dominance, and the resulting influence." Roark discusses the facts, and Kitchener knows the virtues of the British Parliament, and those members of Congress can argue with peace of mind before the fire is on the eyebrows.

Even if the fire burns my eyebrows, as long as it's not my eyebrows, then I'm not so anxious.

Kitchina also has a deep understanding of this issue.

Before the outbreak of the world war, Kitchener ordered 200 million rifles from southern Africa, a decision that was not approved by Congress at the time.

Later, after the outbreak of the World War, the British Parliament accused the Ministry of War of not making relevant preparations, and then Kitchener explained the matter in Parliament. Sir Sir also personally thanked Kitchener.

As a result, before the end of the World War, the British Parliament passed a number of bills to take away most of the rights from Kitchener.

Those members of Congress probably don't think about what the Secretary of War can do if they face a world war next time.

This is the gap between ideal and reality.

Kitchener was silent. He knew some things, but he couldn't change it. The British Empire is now like a wrecked ship struggling in the stormy sea. sigh.

After Rock and Kitchener left, Feng Ding immediately received congratulations from the researchers.

"Congratulations, Feng, you are going to be famous this time. This is an investment hand-picked by the lord, and Nyasaland will definitely pass it smoothly." Cumberland, the oldest researcher of the six institutes, laughed. The German, who worked in Nyasaland Auto Group a long time ago, came to Nyasaland Heavy Industries after the spin-off.

Cumberland has always taken good care of these young researchers in the six institutes, and the young researchers also respect Cumberland. Maybe Cumberland's thinking is not as quick as the young researchers, but Cumberland has rich experience and has never been stingy with young researchers. The guidance of the researchers is considered highly respected in the six institutes.

"Famousness is for sure, the key is money, a lot of money, Feng Ding, you are really going to get rich this time—" A young researcher was full of envy. Fame and fortune are the dreams of all researchers.

"You know money and money when you are full of money. Work hard and do your research well. Maybe you can become the second Rudolf Diesel." Manan came over to drive people back to work. Rudolf Diesel was The idol of all scientific researchers, with the patent of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel served as the president of the University of Technology and benefited millions of rand every year.

After sending all the researchers back to work, Ma Nan called Feng Ding directly to the office.

At this time, Ma Nan discovered that Feng Ding's improved computer had not yet applied for a patent.

This is a mistake of the Sixth Institute. Feng Ding may not know the value of improving the computer, and Manan should not ignore it.

"It's all my fault. I'll send a telegram to the legal department of the group and ask the legal department to register the patent immediately." Manan made up for it. Nyasaland Heavy Industries produces hundreds of patents every year, except for patents in the UK , in other European countries and the United States also have to apply for relevant patents, so as to ensure the interests of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.

Most scientists are not good at applying for patents, so Nyasaland Heavy Industries also has its own legal department, which is not only responsible for patent applications around the world, but also responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.

Nyasaland Heavy Industries produces not only armored vehicles and tanks, but also agricultural machinery such as tractors and combines. In the future, Nyasaland Heavy Industries will also set foot in other fields. It is very important to establish a complete legal department.

"Work hard after you go back, don't let temporary success become a stumbling block on the way forward, you are only 18 years old this year, your future is limitless, and there will be greater success waiting for you in the future - don't worry about the share issue, Nyasaland Corporation After the investment, our six institutes may have about 20.00% of the income, [-]% of which belongs to you, which will be a lot of money. Even if you retire here, you will live a life of worry-free life, but I don’t think that’s you I want it." Ma Nan called Feng Ding over for a vaccination. It is not necessarily a good thing to have a large amount of wealth rashly at the age of a teenager. If he is not guided correctly, a genius may disappear from everyone.

"Director, please rest assured that I will continue to work hard." Feng Ding is a smart man and knows what to do.

Just kidding, people who mastered calculus at the age of eight, don't use ordinary geniuses to describe this kind of people.

"That's good. Are you still living in the bachelor's apartment? Go back and pack up your things, and prepare to live in the staff apartment. If you need it, the office can arrange service staff to take care of your life." Manan was very thoughtful Now that Feng Ding has registered in front of Rock, there is no harm in giving more benefits.

"Boss, don't treat me like a child who can't take care of himself. I'm already an adult, okay?" Feng Ding refused special care. Employee apartments are not considered special care, and Feng Ding himself has to pay for it.

"That's good, that's good, go back and work hard, do you want to rest for a few days first--" Ma Nan was all smiles, looking at Feng Ding now is like watching a rich boy with a money tree in his arms.

Nyasaland Company is highly efficient. On the day it received Manan's report, it sent people to the six institutes for docking.

Nyasaland is also concerned about the patent issue of the improved computer. Although the six institutes have not filed a patent application for the improved computer, the influence of the improved computer has expanded beyond the six institutes. If someone registers in advance about the improved computer patents, investment in improved computers would be delayed.

"I have entrusted the legal department of the group to apply for a patent related to improved computers. This was invented by Feng Ding, a researcher at our institute. No one is qualified to apply for a patent for improved computers except us." the importance of the problem.

"Mr. Feng, we all know what you said is the truth, but it's useless. The patent office doesn't mean that whoever invents can enjoy the relevant benefits, and whoever applies for it is the patent owner." Senior executive from Nyasaland Company The manager Charles is also very helpless. This kind of thing has not happened before. There are lawsuits caused by patent ownership every year in southern African courts.

Over the years, there have been many lawsuits over the ownership of patents around the world, the most famous being the dispute over the ownership of radio patents between the American scientist Nikola Tesla and the Italian electrical engineer Galilo Marconi. litigation between.

This patent is also protracted and has a great impact. Everyone knows that Nikola Tesla was the first to complete the invention of radio, but Marconi was the first to apply for a patent on radio.

Because of the entanglement between Nikola Tesla and Edison, the U.S. court finally awarded the ownership of the radio patent to Marconi, which directly led to Nikola Tesla losing Morgan's financial support and going bankrupt. end.

What Charles and Manan didn't expect was that the worst situation had indeed happened. When the group's legal department submitted related patents related to improved computers to the Patent Office, it was discovered that the relevant patents had been applied for by the Rand Bank.

Rand Bank!

This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple——
