Chapter 215 Doubt
Computers are a relatively large market.

The current computer market is mainly desktop computers, notebook computers, and tablet computers.

Among them, notebook computers accounted for about 70% of the total sales, the remaining 20% ​​were desktop computers, and about 10% were tablets.

The global annual shipment of notebook computers is about 2 million units, and China’s is about 0.6 million units.

The average selling price is about 5k RMB.

In other words, this is a large market with a domestic market of 3000 billion and an international market with trillions of dollars.

Of course, the most profitable one is Apple.

In March, Wu Zhou spent his busy life without touching the ground.

On April 4, Chrysanthemum Factory and Aiying Group formally signed a cooperation agreement.

After that, a new company was established, business departments were connected, and the recruitment of relevant personnel was accelerated.

Wu Zhou wants to mess around with the computer
At the same time, during this period of time, there were also various discussions within the company regarding the cooperation with the Chrysanthemum Factory.

Because the chrysanthemum factory is still very well-known among ordinary people.

"This is a two-way trip. Our President Wu is a loyal fan of Chrysanthemum Factory."

"Haha, that's not the case. Not to mention all the mobile phones used by our company's employees before, but 80% of them belong to the Chrysanthemum Factory. As for the leadership, they all belong to it."

"Now that the Chrysanthemum Factory has cooperated with our company, if I buy things from the Chrysanthemum Factory, can I also pay the internal price?"

"It should be possible. I'll talk about it later. I just don't know what this cooperation is. It's mysterious. I just said cooperation, and there are no details."

"What else can we cooperate with? Isn't our company's greatest strength the operational capability of the e-commerce department? There is a high probability that we will sell the products from the Chrysanthemum Factory."

"Probably not. If that's the case, the e-commerce department has already started to move. It won't be as quiet as it is now."

"Which of your eyes can see that it is quiet, take a good look at the HR department, there have been a lot of recruitment positions, and there are many more positions for engineers and designers."

"Is this a big move?"

"When did our President Wu make small moves? Forgot how our President Wu entered the medical industry in the next year."

"Can it be the same? The medical field is a big money burner, and our Wu always spends money directly to buy it. Of course we spend a lot. Although those companies are not small, compared to the Chrysanthemum Factory, it is a big deal." It’s not enough to read at all, although Mr. Wu is rich, it’s impossible for us to have the money to use the same operation in the chrysanthemum factory, right?”

"That's definitely incomparable. The annual sales of hundreds of billions and profits of hundreds of billions are higher than our company's performance."

"Stop chatting, the more you talk, the more outrageous it will become. We'll know what will happen later. We are in the company, and what we get is first-hand information."

The atmosphere of the whole company is good.

At the beginning of April, the shortage of masks in European and American countries has been alleviated to a certain extent.

Because of a large number of Aiying Group masks, they have been shipped one after another, and even arrived.

"Huaxia's masks, shift, such a serious virus, how can we use Huaxia's masks, I want 3M. It must be 3M, or Honeywell's is okay, why Huaxia's." After arriving at the masks distributed by the hospital, I saw that the source of the above standard was Huaxia, and I couldn't help but swear.

"Okay, Anna, please be quiet for a while. The higher-ups also want to purchase 3M masks, but you have to know that 3M masks have already been sold out. Even now they are producing day and night, it is far from enough for us. It is very good to have a mask now. And this mask is not as bad as you think."

With that said, the medical staff gave the complaining nurse Anna a color and asked her to try it.

Nurse Anna has fallen into a situation where no mask is available, unless she wants to extend the 3M mask that the wearer is wearing now, but the follow-up 3M mask is nowhere in sight.

She has no choice.

In desperation, she finally reluctantly accepted the mask handed over by her friend.

There is only a safe space, disinfection, wearing, and about 10 minutes later, she walked out of the safe room.

At this moment, there was some surprise on her face.

"Does this mask really have a protective effect? ​​Why do I think its airtightness is not so good? I dare not breathe hard when I wear it." She is used to wearing a 3m mask, and now she is wearing Qiao Fei's mask. , The comfort of wearing is immediately improved.

Of course, these are not the most important things at the moment. At the moment, she is most concerned about safety. Before her life is threatened, the comfort of wearing is not important at all.

At this moment, I saw a lady in a doctor's white coat and gold-rimmed glasses rushing in with a tired look on her face.

After entering, she slumped down on the ground. She was tired and needed to rest for a while.

If he was in his office, God knows, he would be called away later to continue treating patients.

So the locker room is where she finds laziness.

But what I didn't expect was that there were actually two nurses inside.

He glanced around, and then saw a whole box of unpacked masks not far away, which looked pretty good.

"I'll change the mask." Murphy said with a smile, pointing to the mask not far away.

"Doctor Murphy, don't you even use 3M?" Nurse Anna asked suspiciously. After all, she knew that Dr. Dana was a doctor who directly rescued critically ill patients on the front line. This kind of doctor on the front line should not Use the best mask.

Murphy was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but then he reacted with a smile on his face. "This brand of masks has been tested in detail in the hospital, and the effect is no worse than 3M's, and the wearing comfort is far more than 3M, so why not use it?"

"The hospital has already tested it? Is it better than 3M? Really?" Anna was even more surprised. With her influence, she felt that 3M should be the best. After all, she had always used 3M before, and China's How can masks be better than 3M's.

But after hearing Dr. Murphy's words just now, he took a deep breath subconsciously at this moment, feeling the comfort of breathing, and the direct touch between the tip of the mouth and nose and the mask, but he had to admit in his heart that at least wearing it was indeed much more comfortable than 3M's .

If the protective effect is not worse than 3M, then she will definitely choose
Many thoughts turned in Anna's mind.

"But only protection can be achieved, but medical masks are not only for protection, but also need antibacterial and antiviral components, so as to maximize the protection of medical staff." Anna argued again, she still did not I believe Huaguo's masks can be better than American brands.

Murphy nodded after hearing this, but the expression on his face remained the same. At this moment, he even found a seat and sat down.

"You don't have to worry about this, our testing agency in the United States has already tested it." Murphy said, rummaging through his mobile phone photo album, and after about a minute, the sliding finger stopped, and the photo he found, Click to enlarge.

Then it was placed in front of Anna, the two curious nurses.

The two approached, stretched their heads, and looked at Murphy's cell phone.

Only then did Murphy continue, with a lazy tone, "And the masks of this brand are the best sold in Huaguo, and they are widely used in the medical system. Many of my doctor friends in Huaguo also use this mask. Masks, when I knew I was short of masks a while ago, I even sent some from Huaguo." Murphy even subconsciously wanted to touch his mask, but just thinking about it, he put it away in the middle of the air down.

At this moment, Anna opened her mouth wide, still not trusting the quality of Huaguo's masks.

"But the medical level in Huaguo." Anna didn't think much of Huaxia's medical level.

The gap between the two sides is still obvious

For example, the number of ICU beds in the United States is about 10 per 34.7 population, and the number of ventilators is about 10 per 26.2 population.

In Huaguo, the number of ICU beds is about 10 per 3.6 population, and the number of ventilators is about 10 per 3.8 population.

It's only about one tenth, which is too much difference.

"It's back to normal over there, but what about us?" Murphy would not say anything to a little nurse. Anna had never had contact with doctors in Huaxia, but she had. Huaguo has many top doctors, even It is among the best in the world, and American medical care is mainly strong in the field of biomedicine.

Murphy said these words slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was half asleep.This period of time is too tiring, and depending on the situation, there will be more and more in the future. There is still a little time for laziness, and there may be no more in the future.

Anna didn't know what to say for a while.

"Doctor Murphy, do you think we can recover quickly like Huaguo?" Another nurse asked in a slightly low tone.

"What do you think?" Murphy didn't answer, but asked casually.

But before the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, she stood up again and walked out of the short rest area.

The R&D headquarters of 3M in the United States.

As the world's most professional protective mask manufacturer, recently, the company's mask orders, both in quantity and purchase price, have far exceeded last year.It can be described as a performance explosion.Countries around the world are snapping up their masks.

But at this moment, the company's executives are frowning tightly looking at the report in front of them.

The antibacterial and antiviral test report of Qiao Feijia's mask material.

And compared some of the details with 3M's current best antibacterial materials.

Compare the effective rate of killing viruses in the same time.

The mask material of Qiao Fei’s family is at least 3% higher than that of their 91M, which is almost doubled.

"What about detailed composition testing? We have so many patents related to masks. Haven't they infringed?" Mike looked at his R&D director seriously, and asked in a deep voice, with an uncertain expression on his face.

After all, as the world's largest manufacturer of medical masks, their masks have always been the first choice of medical staff. The reason is, of course, that the protection effect is better.

But now a new brand from Huaguo has a better protective effect than their most advanced masks, which makes him unacceptable.

"The relevant anti-virus ingredients are being tested further, but there is no result yet. As for the patent infringement, it has not been found yet." The head of the R&D department lowered his head.

"Then hurry up and test the results as quickly as possible. If this Huaguo brand has not applied for a patent, we must hurry up." Mike said loudly.

In most cases, patents are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. That is, if two or more persons or companies both claim to apply for a patent on the same invention or innovation, the person or company whose application goes to the patent office first are eligible for a patent.

Most Huaguo companies do not pay much attention to the registration of international patents, so many patents that are clearly Huaguo are registered by foreign countries.

But after finishing speaking, I also noticed that the person in front of me is from the R&D department, not from the company's patent department, so it's useless to say these things.

He waved his hand and let him go down in a very bad mood.

Of course, before leaving, warn him that if the R&D department can't find a way to protect more than this Huaguo mask in the fastest time, then he can get out.

The head of the R&D department left the president's office with his head down in embarrassment.

Soon after, I called the person in charge of the company's intellectual property department and asked him to check whether Aiying Group's related patents on masks have been registered.

After about 20 minutes, I got a reply.

"Boss, in terms of anti-virus materials alone, the Aiying Group has been applying continuously since last year. It has already applied for 17 patents, all of which are "priority review", and 5 patents have been approved. , there are still 12 patents pending approval, and there are 6 other patents for the appearance of masks, and these patents have already been approved in Huaguo.”

The average review period for utility model patents in the United States is about 21.9 months, while the average review period for invention patents is 14.1 months. If you are willing to spend money and get priority review, the time can be shortened to 6-12 months.

Moreover, the related new technologies of Aiying Company generally start to apply for patents in major global markets and major sales countries after they come out.

This is not a small fee, as patents are issued on a country-by-country basis and require separate registration in each country.

Therefore, when registering a patent, a company with no strength will not be able to register a global patent at all, and it will cost too much money.

Even if Wu Zhou was not short of money, he registered after screening.

It's a waste of time to care about the minutiae.

For example, there are more than 190 countries recognized by the United Nations, of which only about 80 have a population of over [-] million.

For small places with a population of several million, there is no need to apply for most of them, and the market is too small.

As for those with a population of more than ten million, if some places are particularly poor, there is no great need.

There is a high probability that they will not become consumers of Aiying Group's products, so what's the use of applying for a patent there.

Also, some places are quite friendly.

For example, in Europe, there is a common patent system in Europe, called the European patent, which applies to most countries in Europe (member states of the European Patent Organization).The applicant submits an application at the European Patent Organization to obtain a European patent. Once approved, it becomes effective in most European countries without the need to apply for a patent in each member state.

Said the head of the head of the intellectual property department, Mike was silent for a while.

"okay, I get it."

A brand of Huaguo company that has never been heard of before, has applied for registration of patents in all major countries around the world.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the report given to him by the person in charge of Greater China some time ago.

In this mask incident, the outbreak of the mask market first started in Huaguo, but she was quite happy when she saw the performance data of the Greater China region, which showed that the revenue for the whole year of last year was completed in just three months.

But at this moment, but after the same thing happened in the United States, it was only after looking at this market increase that something was wrong.

"Mr. Ding, I hope you can tell me honestly, is Huaguo's Aiying Group eating into our market?"
