Actually I just want to act

Chapter 245 The Waves Caused by the USB Disk
The whole world at this time has been stirred up by a memory called a USB flash drive, and the whole world has begun to fluctuate.

Beautiful Room, Silicon Valley.

"Jack, what do you think of this patent?"

"Oh, this is a genius idea! Charlie, can we get a patent on this?"

"This patent belongs to the Chinese. They have applied for an international patent and it is already in the protection period. If we use this patent, we may face lawsuits. The other party does not seem to be a small company and is very proficient in the law. You know, from Meilijian A patent lawsuit can last for several years. Once the other party can survive, then we will definitely pay huge compensation.”

"Charlie, how about we contact them for authorization?"

"They issued an announcement that they welcome companies from all over the world to obtain patent licenses from them, and only charge a 3% patent license fee. If it is a cross-patent license, we can discuss it further. They have a company in Xiangjiang, and we can send them directly. People went over to negotiate."

"Charlie, this is great. This USB drive will generate over $[-] million in revenue for us!"

"Jack, I think you are too optimistic. The patent of the USB disk is not complicated, but the idea is very clever. If we reverse the imitation, it may be produced in two weeks. They Chinese are very smart, set the patent threshold, and The announcement stated that once an infringement is discovered, a lawsuit will be initiated together with the authorized company.”

"It's a damn company, so smart. Charlie, the old Chinese weren't that smart."

"Jack, the Chinese in the past only cared about publishing papers in journals such as "Nature" and "Science", and did not apply for patents. However, when they know the patent rules, they will learn to be smart."

"Hell, their country is a thief, stole our technology, and we can't sue!"

"Don't worry, they have not yet joined the WTO. Once they join the WTO, they will still have to pay us patent fees."

"Then how can we quickly get the authorization for the USB disk?"

"Send Jerry over there, he is a China hand and knows what the Chinese think."

"I agree, every time he treats me to Chinese food, it is very good. The orange chicken, chop suey soup, and fortune cookies, my God, are simply delicious. If I can, I think I will have a chance I want to go to China and taste the food there. Unfortunately, China is a bad country, and I heard that crooked nuts are not welcome there.”

……

China, a scientific research institution of Huaqing University.

"Professor, I heard that there is a USB flash drive called something on the Internet. It is much easier to use than a floppy disk. Our files are stored on the floppy disk. Once the floppy disk is damaged, we cannot repair it." A graduate student said to an old professor.

Another graduate student also echoed: "Yes, we spend about 1000 yuan on floppy disks every year, which can store less than a gigabyte of content and are easily damaged. If you buy a USB flash drive, you only need 4, which is enough for one G, it can be used for a long time."

The professor in charge of this scientific research institution was also a little moved and asked, "What is the price of this USB flash drive?"

"It's less than 800 yuan each, and it's more than 800 yuan including postage." A graduate student said, "We can buy one first and try it out. If they come out with a larger capacity next time, we can buy a larger capacity one."

The professor weighed it and found that 800 yuan is really not expensive.Although scientific research institutions in universities are generally short of funds, these are necessary expenses that cannot be missed.It can't be said that you have written a thesis, and there are various thesis materials, you can only view the paper version, right?So what is the use of the computers and precision instruments provided by the school?
"Then buy one, Xiaomeng, and you can handle it."

……

Sheng Hai, a certain agency.

"Leader, let me tell you something. The floppy disk that stored the report before is broken, and the files in it can't be retrieved. So tomorrow's meeting materials may take a while to find. We changed computers before, and the host computer is not I know where I put it..."

"Xiao Deng, this kind of work is not acceptable. You don't know how important tomorrow's meeting is!" How much time have we lost with a small floppy disk? Does this computer bring us convenience or trouble?"

"Leader, it's my negligence at work, I didn't keep the floppy disk properly."

The leader said: "Little Deng, the review is necessary, so is there any way you can keep our documents?"

"Leader, I know that there is something called a USB flash drive on the market, which can store millions of times. As long as it is kept properly, it is not easy to be damaged. It also has a large capacity, a full 256MB, which is equivalent to many floppy disks."

The leader was a little surprised: "There is such a high technology?"

"Yes, the patent of our own invention in China was produced by a small company in Guancheng. Their press conference was very popular on the Internet."

"You don't know how to burn CDs, and floppy disks are troublesome to use. If this USB flash drive is easy to use and not easy to damage, then buy a few. How much is it?" the leader asked.

"Leader, we spend thousands of dollars on floppy disks every year, but a USB disk costs less than 800 yuan!"

The leader immediately made a decision: "Then buy a few and try them out. If they work well, report to the superiors and completely eliminate the floppy disks!"

The leader has spoken, and the following will naturally follow suit. "Okay, leader, then I'll go and place an order immediately."

……

Yanjing, an Internet company.

"Is the U disk really easy to use?"

This is the boss of an Internet company asking a senior technical employee.

"In terms of nature, U disk is actually a kind of flash disk, which is similar to MP3. It can be stored and rewritten. The biggest advantage is that there is no need to install drivers." The technical staff said, "Actually, if it is possible, our company It can also be developed in reverse, just give me two or three months."

"Then let's quickly buy a few and come back to study!"

In fact, the boss knows the price of materials, and the cost price of the USB flash drive will not exceed 250 yuan, or even lower.But the price of the USB flash drive has already reached 800 yuan!This is more than twice the profit, enough to make people crazy!Lao Ma said that when the profit reaches 10%, capital is ready to move; when the profit reaches 50%, capital dares to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, capital dares to trample on all laws in the world; The capitalist is not even afraid of going to the gallows.There is also a saying in China that people die for money, and birds die for food.The meaning is the same.

So, does the boss of this Internet company really understand the law?It's not that they don't understand, it's that they simply ignore patent law.

Who cares about the patent law when there are interests ahead!
