Chapter 36 How to be proud
  When Chen Tao and other staff members of the mouse project team heard Li Dongling's words and then looked at the mouse placed on the experimental table, their first reaction was relief, then excitement, and in the end they felt inexplicably lost.

This is not Chen Tao and the others who miss the devastation of being asked to redo it over and over again by Li Dongling, but the sense of emptiness that comes from finally succeeding in developing a product that they have put in so much effort into.

In the mouse project team, Li Wentao, who was responsible for making the model, almost cried at this time. There was no 3D printing technology at this time, and the model had to be rubbed by hand.

The early models of the mouse were first made of wood and then polished. Li Wentao was the person in charge of making the wooden model. His hands are now so calloused that he almost vomited while making the mouse model.

After receiving the news, the rest of the people at Dongling Hi-Tech, Hu Xian, Yao Luoying, Gao Peng, Li Dongshan and others, all rushed to the laboratory.

When Hu Xian, Yao Luoying and others saw this mouse, the first thing they felt was "exquisite and beautiful". Even people who know nothing about mechanical technology will feel this way when they see this mouse.

The milky white mouse has smooth lines. It is not the square mouse that is popular nowadays. The corners and corners of the mouse have all turned into arcs. There is no place to touch the hand, and the mouse can be wrapped with one hand.

Hu Xian, Yao Luoying, Gao Peng and others all tried the mouse. The first feeling when they touched the mouse was that it was smooth. It was very comfortable after holding the mouse. When the index finger pressed down, there was a slight mechanical pressing feeling. The silver at the bottom The gray rolling ball has some weight, but it doesn't feel bulky. The surface of the rolling ball is soft and frosted. With a special mouse pad, Yao Luoying feels that it is full of operation.

After a few minutes of experience, Yao Luoying felt that operating with this mouse was much more convenient than using DOS operating instructions.

Reluctantly putting down the mouse, Yao Luoying looked at Li Dongling, "What is the name of this mouse?!"

"Silver sable, this is the first mouse launched by Dongling Hi-tech, a mechanical silver sable mouse!" Li Dongling thought for a moment and said after seeing the looks from Yao Luoying, Hu Xian and others.

The group came to the conference room next to the laboratory, and Li Dongling looked at everyone, "Next, the most important thing for Dongling Hi-Tech is production, promotion and sales!
  But before that, the patent and technology of Silver Sable Mouse must be applied for globally! "

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Hu Xian couldn't help but said, "If you apply for a patent globally, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!"

Hu Xiande's thinking still remains in China. For most or even more than 90% of domestic companies, their thoughts are on gaining one-third of an acre of domestic land. As for overseas markets, they are basically given up automatically. Crazy in China If you are involved with your peers, even if you sell a TV, air conditioner, refrigerator, etc., as long as you still make a dollar, you will continue to do business, and you will not go overseas to compete with those foreign brands.

In other words, I dare not. In China, whether it is cars, electronic products, clothing, furniture and other high-end brands, they are basically controlled by foreign countries. Foreign brands are better than domestic ones. This has almost formed a consensus, let alone those People who buy things, even those domestic companies that produce these things, mostly have this idea.

In this case, we don’t care about patents, exclusive technologies, etc. Since we don’t need them in China anyway, we are just copying each other’s work.

Applying for a patent overseas will cost more, and no one is willing to do it.

But Yao Luoying, who had studied at Hong Kong City University, instantly understood what Li Dongling meant. Now the companies in Hong Kong City are encountering brand difficulties. The clothing, textile, electronics, home appliances and other industries in Hong Kong City are now at their peak. , the products are sold all over the world.

Companies in Hong Kong City now want to hit the high-end brand market and eat the fattest piece of meat, but they are faced with difficulties. In the past few years, most of the electronics, clothing, jewelry and other companies in Hong Kong City have imitated and copied overseas products. Brand, I have no intention of establishing my own brand. Now I want to hit the high-end market. How can I do it easily?

"The patent and technology of the mechanical silver sable mouse must be in the hands of Donglin Hi-Tech, no matter what the price!"

Li Dongling said solemnly, then looked at Hu Xian and others, "Who said that only foreign brands can enter the domestic market, why can't domestic products be sold abroad?!"

Hu Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this. In this era, there have been all kinds of people, including madmen like Boss Mou. Boss Shi, the giant, is only the second person in the domestic technology industry after Bill Gates. As for When it comes to competing with foreign brands and selling products abroad, no one dares to say it!

Compared with Hu Xian, Yao Luoying and Gao Peng are much younger, and they are at their most passionate years. When hearing Li Dongling's words, she couldn't help but feel excited. Yao Luoying looked at Li Dongling with strange eyes. Gao Peng's face turned red and he clenched his fists. How many people would dare to go head-to-head with foreign brands these days? !
  Hu Xian shook his head. He was an old man and knew how difficult this road was. What surprised Hu Xian was that, let alone whether Li Dongling could live up to his big words, he dared to call companies that compete with foreign brands these days. , is already rare. Today, Hu Xian felt like he got to know Li Dongling again.

"There is a company in Hong Kong City that specializes in applying for patents and technologies. You can entrust the patent agency in Hong Kong City to apply for patents for Donglin Hi-Tech. The agency fee may be higher!"

Yao Luoying said that people from companies in Hong Kong City have dealt with overseas companies a lot and have been fined with patent sanctions. They have begun to understand the importance of patents. Some companies in Hong Kong City have specialized in patent business and can make money. No matter how remote the place is, there will always be people doing it.

"It's up to you to do this. Find a reliable company. The patent matter must be settled as soon as possible!"

Li Dongling said to Yao Luoying that it would be more convenient to have a specialized patent agency to do it, even if it charges a fee. Otherwise, Dongling Hi-tech would have to apply for patents all over the world. I don't know how long it will be delayed.

"Manager Hu, you are familiar with the situation in Guangdong Province. Please lead a team to Guangdong Province to find a suitable parts manufacturer for the Silver Sable Mouse and put the Silver Sable Mouse into production as soon as possible!"

"I have no problem!" Hu Xian responded directly.

Li Dongling looked at Gao Peng, who was standing aside, "If you want to promote the Silver Sable Mouse, in addition to advertising, you need to let it participate in computer shows so that more computer manufacturers can see it. Gao Pengqian and the sales staff will take the Silver Sable Mouse there. Attend the Yangcheng Computer Expo!”

After the Chinese New Year this year, the news released last year about reducing computer tariffs was officially announced. By the middle of the year at the latest, computer tariffs will be reduced to 26%. This also means that computer giants such as IBM, Compaq, and HP will The move to the country has made this year’s Yangcheng Computer Exhibition the busiest in history, with countless computer manufacturers and components gearing up to prepare for a big fight.

"Dongli Hi-Tech will first seek cooperation with domestic computer manufacturers, and then look for opportunities to get orders from foreign manufacturers!"

Li Dongling said that he planned to make the Silver Sable mouse from the inside out first. Although he just said that Silver Sable would compete with foreign mouse brands such as Logitech, being brave does not mean being reckless. You must have your own basic base to survive. OK.

Although mice are now sold at retail, the majority of mouse sales are still bundled with computers. Even the world's largest mouse giant, Logitech, the king of computer peripherals, still has to work for people.

HP's current mouse is purchased from Logitech. The technology and production are all done by Logitech, but the one posted above is HP's winning bid. After becoming famous in the past few years, it cooperated with Apple to launch a mouse. Yes, it can be labeled as Logitech.

Li Dongling hopes that the Silver Sable Mouse can get orders from domestic computer brands such as Lenovo, Great Wall, Inspur, 7-Up, Shida, etc., and then hit the foreign market. You can shout slogans, but you have to have a full stomach first.

Hu Xian and Gao Peng took the lead to go south to Guangdong Province. Yao Luoying contacted her classmates at City University of Hong Kong and found a patent agency to handle the patent matter. The people in the mouse project team continued to polish the silver sable mouse. When mass production began, they also Having to deal with technical issues, Chen Tao did not take any time off and started getting busy on the digital cordless phone.

Dongling Hi-Tech suddenly became quiet. Li Dongling contacted Hu Xian and Gao Peng on the phone basically every day.

Over at Shangguan Town Yuanqi Factory, Li Dongling went there once after the new year started and took away a dividend, so he didn't pay too much attention to it because the satellite pot market has been completely eroded, and hundreds of satellite pots have appeared in the country. Brands and fierce price wars, the era of satellite pot cabbage prices has arrived!

At the Yangcheng Computer Exhibition, even if it rained heavily today, there was still a long queue outside the exhibition venue. Bonas, who hurried over, raised his work card. Seeing this work card, the venue staff immediately asked Bonas to Si, entering the venue from the exhibitor's passage, this work sign belongs to Microsoft!

As a Microsoft man, Bonas is very proud. No matter where he is in the world, as long as he shows his job card, he will receive envy, respect and treatment. This is the world's largest technology giant. With the strength of a technology overlord with a market value of over 40 billion US dollars, even an employee can be honored and enjoy the applause and glory.
