Hearing that Zhong Daolong actually said that he would hand over all the patent fees to him, Fang Chen couldn't help but be stunned, a strange light flashed in his eyes, this is treating money like dung?

After a few breaths, Fang Chen said inexplicably: "Dean Zhong, do you know how much the patent fee of the repeater will be worth in the future, I will tell you now, at least 50 million, it is not unusual to reach 100 million." ”

After saying this, he stared straight at Zhong Daolong.

Although he is not very clear about the sales of repeaters in foreign markets, what he does know is that except for some English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the rest of the countries have a demand for learning English, and even this demand is still very strong, after all, English is Esperanto, the universal language of world communication.

In addition, the repeater can also be used to learn other languages, such as French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, etc.

According to his calculations, the combined sales of repeaters in the rest of the world should at least be as large as the Huaxia repeater market, right?

That is, tens of millions.

According to the patent fee of one dollar charged for a repeater, the patent fee is 50 million, if it is charged two dollars, it is 100 million, but if the market is larger than 10 million, reaching 20 million, 30 million, or even more?

Then the patent fee of this repeater is really hundreds of millions, even if it is not trivial in front of him, at least it is a medium meaning.

But who knows, Zhong Daolong actually waved his hand, categorically, and said undoubtedly: "Then I don't want it either!"

Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but gasp, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a complicated light, he saw from Zhong Daolong, the unique style of the old man's generation.

Seeing Fang Chen's appearance, Zhong Daolong shook his head with a sigh, "I'm actually not as great as you think, Mr. Fang, the idea of registering a patent abroad was first proposed by you, and the money and strength are also from you, so it would be too inappropriate for me to collect this patent fee again." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Daolong's expression changed, he looked at the ceiling a little sluggishly, and muttered to himself: "I have been raised by the people all my life, and I have been cultivated by the country and the army, so the money is enough for me to spend, and no matter how much it is, it doesn't make much sense." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Daolong suddenly laughed, "I joined the army in 1951, and within a few days of enlistment, I didn't even touch the gun a few times, and I went to fight on the battlefield in South Korea......

The corners of Zhong Daolong's mouth showed a hint of smugness.

"In the second year, the leaders of the army recommended me to study in the cable department of the Military Communication Engineering College, and after five years of college, I was also rated as an "outstanding graduate". ”

"After graduating, I was assigned to the Gobi Desert to engage in the survey, design and construction of national defense communication projects, in the Gobi Desert, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in the ravines of the interior I stayed for 18 years. ”

"Then how did you come up with the idea of studying repeaters?" Fang Chen asked with some curiosity.

This is a question in his heart, Zhong Daolong's identity as a communications expert and soldier can't be compared to a repeater, not to mention that after 18 years of going around, Zhong Daolong's position is getting higher and higher, and he is responsible for some major matters related to national defense communications and national security.

"It actually started when I learned English, in fact, I learned English quite late, and my relationship with English was only established at the age of forty-five, in the second year of reform and opening up, when I visited France and Germany as a communications expert, but we studied Russian at university. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Daolong looked at Fang Chen with a smile, "Mr. Fang, your generation has stopped learning Russian, but your Russian should be good." ”

Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a half smile and half helplessness: "I can't help it, my business in Russia is really not small, I have to deal with so many Russians every day, and I can't do it without learning Russian, but now I am not particularly proficient, that is, common words such as Davarich are still okay." ”

As soon as the thought moved, Fang Chen said to Zhong Daolong, "Zdrastvijay, Davarishi!"

"Davarich, Zdrastvijay!" Zhong Daolong replied with a smile, his eyes unconsciously revealing a hint of nostalgia, recalling the days of dealing with Russian experts and studying.

After a few breaths, Zhong Daolong came to his senses, and continued: "My feeling at that time was actually the same as the feeling that you just went to Russia, Mr. Fang, just like a deaf person, I couldn't understand anything, I had no choice but to stay around the translator. ”

"And whenever I go out, I have to carry an English note in my pocket that says, "I live in such and such a hotel, I'm lost, please send me back," and that feeling of humiliation really arises spontaneously!" Zhong Daolong said with a wry smile.

"If it's just my personal problem, but the key is that I, a senior engineer in Huaxia and the chief engineer of the General Staff Communication Design Institute, only have such an English level, which is about the same as that of an illiterate, so what will foreigners think of us Chinese people and our Chinese army?"

"So I began to study English hard, studying for five hours a day after work, studying for more than ten hours on holidays, using 17 broken tape recorders and 2 broken dictionaries, and in the second time I went abroad after 14 months, I have become the official translator of the Chinese delegation, and later I have published a lot of English learning books. When Zhong Daolong said this, he became proud again.

Fang Chen grinned, he used seventeen broken tape recorders for more than a year, this is also a ruthless person.

But this is also a helpless thing, we all know that learning English, especially listening, speaking requires repeated rewind practice, this cassette recorder broke a little faster, which is understandable.

"This year, I was not appointed by my superiors to go to our military communication engineering college in Jinling as the deputy dean of teaching, I soon found that the English pass rate of our college students was not even half, so I was determined to grasp the students' English scores, and told the students the story of my bad 17 cassette recorders a year as an inspirational story, but the result was ......."

Zhong Daolong smiled bitterly again, "A student told me in private that your method of learning English is too expensive, and even if we don't eat or drink for a year, that allowance is not enough to buy seventeen tape recorders." ”

"At that time, I was ashamed, I didn't think that I used a bad seventeen recorder is something worth saying, it's too wasteful, too unrealistic, and then I decided to develop a machine, hold down a key, you can keep repeating a sentence of the machine, and finally it is the emperor who lives up to his wishes, and after half a year of research, this repeater was finally researched by me. Zhong Daolong said slowly.

"This is also because of this experience, I don't plan to make a penny on the repeater, besides, the main consumers of this repeater are students, and I am a teacher after all, how can I be embarrassed to make students' money as a teacher?"

"Even before I had already thought about it, if there is a company willing to produce repeaters, willing to sell repeaters, I bring my own room and board, and give them the repeater technology for free, and now I don't seem to need to do this, and the patent fee is not Chinese, but foreign, so you can take the patent fee steadily. ”

After saying this, Zhong Daolong looked at Fang Chen with a smile on his face, to be honest, he felt that if the repeater could generate patent fees, it would also be earned by Fang Chen, and it had nothing to do with him, so it was the most natural thing for Fang Chen to accept it.

At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly fell silent, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop.

After a few breaths, Fang Chen nodded slowly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Well, I have a charitable foundation under the company. Fang Chen said to Zhong Daolong.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Chen made an introduction to Zhong Daolong about the Qingtian Charity Foundation.

Hearing that Fang Chen was willing to take out 10 million yuan of income every year to subsidize primary and secondary school students, so that primary and secondary school students could reduce the crisis of dropping out of school, and even in addition to some living expenses, they could also subsidize their families, Zhong Daolong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he nodded again and again.

My old man told me that the foundation has helped more than 10,000 primary and secondary school students, and the dropout rate and high school attendance rate in Los Angeles have dropped by 8% and increased by 20% respectively, and some high schools have to expand their enrollment. Fang Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Fang, you are the real benefit of the country and the people, do not forget Sangzi, and sincerely give back to your hometown. Zhong Daolong gave Fang Chen a thumbs up.

He has consciously taught and educated people for decades, and has also helped many students, but compared to Fang Chen, how can the light of a grain of rice compete with Haoyue, and the gap cannot be calculated.

And the annual donation of 10 million is indeed an astronomical amount.

But at this moment, he more or less understood why a person of Wang Taobo's status was willing to come over to support Fang Chen, it was really because Fang Chen was worthy of him.

"But what are you going to do?" Zhong Daolong suddenly asked.

"Well, you guessed it right, I plan to donate all the proceeds of the patent fee to the Qingtian Charity Foundation, and promise to the outside world that if the income from the patent fee is less than 100 million from this year, all the missing part will be made up by Qingtian Company. Fang Chen said.

Hearing this, Zhong Daolong was stunned for a moment, he was not surprised that Fang Chen was willing to donate all the proceeds of the patent fee to the charitable foundation, to be honest, when Fang Chen mentioned the charitable foundation just now, he had already thought of this.

What surprised him was that the part less than 100 million was all made up by Qingtian Communications.

Although he admired Fang Chen's vision and business sense, he felt that the repeater could more or less collect some patent fees from abroad.

But the problem is that even if you can receive it, it will probably be two or three years later, after all, it is impossible for foreign companies to discover the value of the repeater so quickly, and there must be a time to ferment.

And Fang Chen plans to start implementing this plan from this year, doesn't it mean that Fang Chen will have to pay 100 million yuan out of his own pocket to do charity this year?

It kind of scared him!

"You've donated too much, right? I think it's a few years before the repeater patent really earns money. Zhong Daolong persuaded.

At this time, in an era when the average annual wage of urban workers was 2,000 yuan and the annual income of peasants was 700 yuan, this 100 million yuan was really an astronomical amount, and hundreds of thousands of peasants earned so much money in a year.

"Don't persuade this Dean Zhong, after all, in the eyes of the outside world, this is our Qingtian company doing charity, and we can't say that we only pluck the hair from you, and I can't get a drop of blood, I expect that it will be an extra two or three hundred million, and the repeater will be able to generate income." Fang Chen said casually.

"What am I, no matter how beautiful you calculated the income of the repeater before, it was only on paper, and this 100 million is the expenditure of real money, besides, the income of this repeater was originally yours of Mr. Fang, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

When it came to the last paragraph, Zhong Daolong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

In his opinion, Fang Chen has paid so much for the registration of patents, including the establishment of a repeater review committee, the income of the patent right of the repeater should be Fang Chen's, Fang Chen is willing to take it out for charity, it is already very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first good person in China, and it is really not appropriate to advance money like this.

"You are not only the richest man in China, but also the first good man in China. Zhong Daolong looked at Fang Chen and said approvingly.

People like Fang Chen who are worried about the country and are willing to donate generously to poor students not only do not have a second one now, but I am afraid that there will be no second one in China for decades.

"Well, let's not say anything, let's do what I want, as for the first good man, I beg you not to mention it in the future, I can't afford this name. Fang Chen paused for a moment, and then hurriedly said with a wry smile.

This has to be talked about again, it is not a large-scale scene of mutual praise and praise, which is similar to Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself.

In addition, what the hell is this the first good man in China, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Chen Dashan.

If it weren't clear, Zhong Daolong wouldn't have known about Chen Dashan, Fang Chen really thought that Zhong Daolong was deliberately disgusting him.

In addition, his willingness to donate this 100 million is not his current temporary idea, but his careful consideration before.

Now that he is about to come out of the curtain and come to the stage, he will be exposed to everyone, and the head office will be announced immediately, and it is time to pay something to maintain the good image of him and Qingtian.

So as a rich man, the leading rich man in China, donating money is the only way to win the favor of the general public.

It's just that today I said it through the patent of the repeater.

Moreover, in the future, when the repeater patent really receives the money, then he will not save the 100 million, and he will still make it.
