Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 412 [Monthly Ticket Addition]

This news was expected by Lu Yiming, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Lu Yiming actually didn't care much about the opponent's siege.

He said lightly: "Very well, they come together, which saves me from wasting time knocking on the door one by one. You continue to do your job well, and you still have to get the triple compensation."

"Ok."

Now that Lu Yiming has said so, Li Qiu naturally has no psychological burden, and takes his share of benefits with peace of mind.

After all, he is not a shareholder of Mingyuan Technology, and the company's losses are none of his business.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming picked up the pen and continued to sit at the desk to brush up the exam questions.

After all, I'm going abroad soon, so it's good to brush up on the questions before going abroad.

At noon the next day, Lu Yiming called Zhao Tiezhu and asked him to drive over.

As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Tiezhu asked, "Mr. Lu, are you going home?"

"No, go to Mingyuan Technology, there is something to do."

"Okay, sit still."

Zhao Tiezhu nodded, and then he stepped on the accelerator and left all the way.

At this very moment, Song Honglin was holding a meeting of executives in the conference room of Mingyuan Science and Technology Headquarters, and basically all the heads of the company were called over.

His expression was dignified, and his eyes were even more worried.

Song Honglin was well-informed, and his competitors were doing things with such fanfare. Of course, he also knew about Pengrun Electric's participation in the encirclement and suppression of Mingyuan Technology, so he hurriedly called everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Lu Yiming stepped in, with a confident and calm smile on his face: "Hey, there are so many people today?"

Seeing Lu Yiming coming in, Song Honglin hurriedly stepped aside.

After sitting down, Lu Yiming leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and glanced at everyone present: "What are you talking about?"

Song Honglin hurriedly told him about the current situation: "We are talking about Pengrun Electric's joining the siege of our Mingyuan Technology. Just yesterday, Lenovo used its own influence and held a press conference with Ammon in the capital. , claiming again that Dover Ammon was the inventor of flash drive technology."

Lu Yiming frowned slightly, quite puzzled by this: "Didn't they do this before? Are you still here?"

Song Honglin smiled wryly: "It's different this time, they are no longer empty-mouthed, but produced several patent documents. It was taken as evidence that we copied the other party's flash drive technology."

Cheng Xiaohua, who is in charge of the company's technology research and development department, immediately retorted angrily: "I have read all of his patents. Although they are indeed related to the front-end technology of flash drives, it is impossible to apply for them in full. The flash drive patent, and compared to our research progress, it is even less worth mentioning, how can we copy him?"

Fang Yunfeng also echoed and said: "He is using it to fool fools. They don't have any of these key technology patents for making USB flash drives. How dare they show them off? It's shameless, shameless!"

Song Honglin sighed, with a helpless expression on his face: "It's useless for us to say these things here. How can ordinary people distinguish this clearly? Haven't you heard of three people becoming a tiger? Now they create the illusion that everyone is supporting Ammon Company, In addition, Ammon is a foreign technology company, so preconceptions win three points, and we are very passive now."

If you tell a lie a thousand times, it may be regarded as the truth, not to mention that the other party is telling the truth now, even showing "evidence".

Obviously, many ordinary people are kept in the dark.

Fang Yunfeng couldn't help asking: "Can't we ask the media reporters to clarify? Just let them talk nonsense like this?"

Regarding this, Song Honglin was also full of helplessness: "The key lies in Company L. They use the banner of a national enterprise. No matter in terms of appeal or influence, they are not comparable to us."

Cheng Xiaohua clenched his fists, unable to get angry at the other party's shameless behavior, and cursed: "This is an elbow turned outward. It is obvious that it is leading wolves into the house. It is really shameless."

In fact, because of the pressure from L Company and the change of public opinion, some of the original USB flash drive dealers have either defected to the USB flash drive camp, or are in a wait-and-see state, waiting for the two sides to decide the outcome.

This kind of patent lawsuit, as long as the other party wants to procrastinate, they will not be able to come up with a result within three to five years.

And if we really have to wait for the last three to five years, Ammon has carried out several product iterations anyway. Does it matter what the outcome of the lawsuit will be?
Song Honglin also said: "There was also a news this morning that Pengrun Electric has started to sell a large number of USB flash drives, and even launched a huge promotional activity, but refused to enter our USB flash drive products."

Such a situation is naturally very unfavorable to Mingyuan Technology, and it can even be said to be a fatal business crisis.

In the conference room, everyone discussed for a long time, but failed to come up with a way to break the situation, so they had to turn their attention to Lu Yiming and pin their hopes on him.

Lu Yiming rubbed his chin and said, "Whether it's L Company or Pengrun, they are all outstanding players in the industry. They really think highly of me when they join forces. But we can't sit still. The domestic attitude towards originality is so pissy, there is no There is no way, we can only start from foreign markets. Fortunately, I have applied for an international patent.”

"overseas market?"

This is a road that no one has imagined.

Lu Yiming said: "That's right. Although the domestic distribution is based on the distribution, the foreign institutions don't care about it. Whoever owns the patent right should be whoever owns it. If they have the ability, they will go outside with me."

Cheng Xiaohua has overseas experience, and he is very appreciative of Lu Yiming's idea of ​​encircling Wei and saving Zhao, but he is also a little worried: "Is it too early to enter the overseas market?"

Mingyuan Technology has no overseas sales channels at all, and it is not an easy matter to export products to overseas markets.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Shouldn't it be good for us to find an influential local snake to cooperate with? I will take care of this matter."

He went on to say: "Okay, there's nothing to talk about about this matter, let's try our best in the R&D department. As long as our products are stable enough, the capacity is large enough, and the technology is always a generation ahead of them, then we will be invincible." Don't be disturbed by their little tricks. They are doing this now to slow down our research and development. You have to look at the essence through the phenomenon."

Everyone was awakened by Lu Yiming's words, and the people in the R&D department were even more enlightened, and immediately said that they would keep their ears to nothing from now on.

Lu Yiming took out his mobile phone and began to press a series of numbers: "I'll call Bill Gates."

The moment the phone was connected, Lu Yiming heard a long yawn.

Then came the voice of Bill Gates: "Lu, when do you plan to come to the beautiful country? I can't wait to meet you."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "There is no rush to meet, I will definitely show up in the beautiful country before the competition starts. Now there is a promising business, I want to talk to you, I wonder if you are interested?"

As the richest man in the world, Bill Gates has a natural passion for making money.At the same time, he was also very curious in his heart, wondering if there was any promising business in the wild land of Xia Kingdom that would interest him.

"You can talk and listen first."

Lu Yiming said: "Mr. Gates, have you heard of USB drives?"

"USB flash drive?"

Bill Gates' tone was full of doubts, apparently he hadn't paid attention to this new gadget yet.

Lu Yiming knew very well that "seeing is better than hearing a hundred times", so he said directly: "I'm afraid it's hard to express clearly just by talking about it, how about this, I can send some relevant information to your mailbox."

As he said that, Lu Yiming sent Bill Gates a piece of information about the USB flash drive.

There is no doubt that Bill Gates' business sense is very sensitive, especially in the field of technology.

After he spent a few minutes browsing through the entire introduction of the USB flash drive, he immediately realized the great value of this thing.

"Lu, you invented this? It's unbelievable! There is no doubt that it is an epoch-making product! With it, the form of computers will be changed!"

Lu Yiming secretly admired it in his heart, the old fox is an old fox, and he saw the value of this thing at a glance.

As a computer accessory, it directly affects the design and manufacture of future computers, which is the scariest part.Once the USB flash drive replaces the floppy disk and even the optical drive, this means that this product will become the "standard configuration" of computer users.

At that time, the sales of USB flash drives will be terrifying, and the market prospect will be astonishingly large.

In fact, around [-], there were as many as [-] million USB flash drives produced in Xia Kingdom alone, and the market demand was extremely strong. Basically, people with computers would need to buy one or two for emergencies. need.

When Lu Yiming threw out the bait, even Bill Gates had to obediently take the bait.

After all, there are few people in this world who don't like money.

Lu Yiming praised: "Mr. Gates really deserves to be the richest man in the world. You can see the key at a glance. As the sole inventor of the USB flash drive, I have patent certificates issued by Xia Guo and Pretty Country, and I have no dispute over the USB flash drive. patent rights. I wonder if Mr. Gates is interested in cooperating with me?"

Hearing that Lu Yiming was the sole inventor of the USB flash drive, Bill Gates also cut off other thoughts and could only ask, "How do you plan to cooperate?"

Lu Yiming said bluntly: "We jointly opened a company in the beautiful country, responsible for the promotion and sales of USB flash drives, and we will split the profits. I will take eight and you two."

Of course, Bill Gates was not satisfied with this ratio. He directly expressed his opinion: "20.00% is too little, I want half."

Bill Gates' lion opened its mouth wide, which was expected by Lu Yiming.After all, he was a pawn in his previous life, what kind of greedy capitalist has he never seen?Not to mention that Bill Gates is still the leader of the capitalists. It is estimated that as long as the technology allows, he would like to grab a few taels of oil.

Lu Yiming said indifferently: "Our Mingyuan Technology owns the technology, and we also provide the products. Half the share is too much. This is impossible. I will give you 30.00% at most, no more."

And Bill Gates also refused to give up, still negotiating conditions with Lu Yiming: "If you want to sell the USB flash drive to the beautiful country, without my contacts and channels, you can't promote it at all, so I want at least 40.00%, not a penny." few."

The two fought with each other, argued for a long time, and finally negotiated the distribution of profits, Bill Gates accounted for 30.00%, and the rest belonged to Mingyuan Technology.

Lu Yiming hung up the phone, and everyone in the office was dumbfounded.

What did I see just now?
My boss is joking with the richest man in the world?
"The boss is awesome."

"Boss, are you so familiar with the richest man in the world? This is all about bargaining."

"Now I know why the boss is not afraid of those guys' siege. Compared with Microsoft, the siege of these clowns is a joke."

Song Honglin was even more excited. After getting through the relationship with Bill Gates, isn't the plan to sell the USB drive overseas a sure thing?

"Mr. Lu is worthy of being our Mingyuan Technology's Zhenhai magic needle. At critical moments, we still have to rely on you."

Cheng Xiaohua sighed and said, "These foreigners are still as dark as ever. If you talk about it, use their contacts and share nearly [-]% of our profits."

Mingyuan Technology is responsible for the research and development and production of the USB flash drive, as well as the transportation cost. It only earns 60.00% after the busy work.

Regarding this, Lu Yiming was also helpless, and said: "Channel vendors are vampires everywhere. We don't have our own channels now, so we can only accept the other party's harsh conditions."

Song Honglin comforted everyone by saying, "It's okay to pay tolls. If the USB drive can be sold to the beautiful country, we will earn dollars."

Driven by money, Gates moved very quickly. After only a few days, he called Lu Yiming and told Lu Yiming that he had already completed the work of international giants such as IBM, DELL, HP, and Logitech. Tech has sent samples.

Lu Yiming directly spent a lot of money to find FedEx, and sent the latest generation of USB flash drive samples as quickly as possible.

With the endorsement of Bill Gates, these partners who have close ties with Microsoft, of course, also sell Microsoft's face. In addition, the USB flash drive is really small and easy to use. It can completely replace CDs and floppy disks and bring more benefits to work. Great convenience, so these companies are also very straightforward, and have placed orders for Mingyuan Technology.

Song Honglin opened the international mail in the office, looking at the list in English, his whole body was excited.

This is a foreign business, and it is also a business in a beautiful country!

Leaving aside the facts, this achievement alone can be blown away for three days and three nights!

Lu Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief when he got these orders.

Although the number is not very large and you can't make much money, this is just the beginning.The most important thing is that with this thing, you can launch a counterattack!
