Chapter 70: Reunion
In cooperation with Lin Guodong, if you want to see the foreign exchange income of real money, you will have to wait at least another two or three months-
The patent offices of the few major countries with helium machine production technology alone have a maximum period of three months to decide whether to accept the application and conduct a preliminary examination of the form of the technology.
(Note: The protection of patents is based on the principle of the country of application, that is, if you apply for a patent in this country, you will only be protected within the territory of this country.) However, at the same time, as long as the protectorate is involved in any link of production, operation, R&D, logistics and sales, it will be applicable to the whole case.
For example, if Gu Biao wants to deal with Air Liquide, as long as he applies for this patent in France, because Air Liquide's place of business is in France, even if Air Liquide's products are sold to an African country that has no patent law at all, the protagonist can go to France to sue.
Because the only countries on the earth where helium machines are operated are the first three countries, as well as the countries where "you tell it the answer and it can copy it", you can only pay the patent offices of these countries.
Other countries that are weaker than the original belong to the industrial base is too poor, and even the "pre-technology tree" of the refrigerator at minus 240 degrees cannot be built, even if Gu Biao reports the answer, they will not copy it, so these spicy chickens have no value to be used, and they can save a lot of money. )
Even if the domestic development order starts at the same time, it will take about the same time. If you want to issue a bill before the patent is officially accepted, it is estimated that you can only sell two sets -
Comrade Kim Da Pang of the North Stick and Comrade Ceausescu of Romania are expected to ask for one set.
First, the leaders of these countries have become accustomed to "we also have to have what ChairmanMAO uses", and secondly, these countries also do not have patent laws, so they probably want to buy a sample for research.
So at most, they will only buy one set for each country, and don't even think about the second set.
Moreover, most of them are still settled according to the internal price of the Economic and Mutual Economic Association, and they cannot get US dollars and foreign exchange, so they can only get rubles, and they can only be used to purchase goods within the Warsaw Pact countries in the future.
However, it is better than nothing.
In contrast, the biggest benefit that Gu Biao has gained in the short term is that he has fully won the trust of the leaders in the foreign affairs system of the First Aircraft Department, and can get more opportunities to be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
These intangible assets could not be immediately converted into money, but until the early 80s, they were actually the most valuable. This means that there are many stones that others can't touch, and he can touch them, and they can be tolerated on a larger scale.
……
The day after the negotiations, the group took a train from Baoxian back to Guangdong to change trains.
Because he missed the train back to Beijing that day, Director Bao asked the group to find a guest house in downtown Yuezhou for the night, and allowed free activities.
As long as you don't spend foreign exchange, the central ministries and commissions go on business trips to the local government, and the treatment is very good. If Director Bao wasn't afraid of disturbing the people, even if he went directly to the provincial foreign affairs department to ask for hospitality, the other party would receive him in a hurry, and he would never have to spend a penny.
After arranging his accommodation, he went to the nearby post and telecommunications office to take another telegram asking for instructions and report his itinerary. I immediately received a commendation message from the bureau for a temporary reply - apparently the message had been prepared in advance, but I didn't know the whereabouts of the group, so I couldn't send it at first.
Director Bao's own benefits are naturally indispensable, and even Gu Biao was mentioned in the message.
When Director Bao returned to the guest house, he showed the telegram to Gu Biao, and also exhorted:
"Xiao Gu, keep up the good work. The ministry has officially sent a letter to the school about your contribution. You are a student in school, and it is not good to give much else, so you can only record it in the archives as advanced deeds, but these are all political capital, don't underestimate it. ”
"I understand, thank you, Director. Gu Biao put down the newspaper in his hand and replied calmly.
Director Bao was not too excited to see him, so he was a little curious, and snatched the newspaper from his hand and looked at it a few times.
"What about reading the Liberation Army newspaper? So concerned about the front-line war? Young people are full of enthusiasm. However, the battle is almost over, and the above has decided to withdraw its troops, don't regret it. Director Bao saw that Gu Biao was reading a military newspaper, and sighed lightly, as if he remembered when he was young.
18 years ago, when the country was fighting with India's Ah San, Director Bao, who was still a hairy young man at the time, was the same as guiding the country every day, caring about the situation on the front line, and always debating with his classmates.
Now, because of the negotiation work, I have been tense for a week, and I have no time to care about the situation in the country. It is also normal for young people to look at the front-line battles in their spare time.
However, Gu Biao's answer surprised him a little.
"I knew that I would withdraw, not because I didn't take Hanoi - I had a friend who went to the front line as a war correspondent. I want to find out if there are any articles in the newspaper that she has signed recently, and if there is, it means that she is still safe. ”
Director Bao was surprised: "It turns out that you still have friends on the front line, how did you know such friends?"
Gu Biao said worriedly: "It's hard to say a word, it's a young comrade who is a propaganda mouth, and I have some friendship by chance - it's a pity that since the report of "Our Army Bravely Conquered Lang Mountain" 8 days ago, I haven't seen her signed article......
I won't die in Lang Son. From this point on, she had an article in the newspaper at least the next day, such as this one appeared more than ten days ago, when she conquered Tongdeng. ”
Director Bao took the newspaper and read it, and found that the report on the conquest of Lang Son was indeed brilliantly written, and at first glance, it was written by people who had personal experience and dared to go to the front line.
And the photos on the report are more exciting than the article, although there is some shaky and blurry, but there is a strong visual impact at a glance, and it can be seen that it was definitely taken during actual combat.
On the screen, a soldier with a small red flag pinned to the side of his belt rushed to the top of the mountain very heroically, and several other fighters who responded also had explosive tension. There are also several martyrs who fell at the last moment before the victory, and the composition is perfect.
"He must be a brave and good comrade...... Well, Xiao Sui, why does that name sound a little sissy?"
Director Bao muttered to himself, thought about it, and immediately changed his expression of "I understand", and stabbed Gu Biao with his elbow badly: "Eh, your friend, a man and a woman?"
Gu Biao replied frankly: "Female." ”
Director Bao smiled thiefly: "I know! No wonder! You kid, you can't see it! There are so many beautiful students at the Foreign Affairs Academy, and they are still thinking about the military flowers." ”
Gu Biao: "It's not what you think. ”
"Okay, don't explain, since you've helped me a lot this time, it's all a trivial matter. We also have old friends in the military region, so let's help you check if this person is safe. "Director Bao is very cheerful as an old man, so he ran away immediately, and I don't know what old friends I was visiting.
But don't say it, as a director of a central ministry and commission, he is also a foreign affairs department, and his path is really wild in this acre and three points of land in eastern Guangdong. Only ten minutes later, he came back in a jeep and brought Gu Biao a piece of news.
"Your kid is lucky! That friend of yours retired from injury, and he has made meritorious service and has become a typical example, and is now hospitalized in the General Hospital of the Military Region. ”
Gu Biao couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "What kind of good news is being injured? ”
"The General Hospital of the Military Region is in the city, isn't this an opportunity for you to visit the patient? Now, take advantage of it, this jeep will be for you today.
Your kid isn't officially compiled anyway, so you'll be back two days late. I'll help you refund your train ticket for two days, and then you can go back to the capital in a sleeper by yourself. ”
I didn't expect Director Bao to be quite righteous and very good at encompassing capable subordinates.
Gu Biao was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Not so good. After the foreign affairs event, is it really okay to return late?"
Director Bao patted his chest and took care of the big bag: "You are not staying abroad for an extended time! The customs clearance procedures have been completed, what's the big deal if you play in China for two more days." As long as you don't swagger and let the local authorities send someone to entertain you, you'll be fine. ”
Gu Biao thought about it, and felt that this kind of thing was not good for the driver to follow, so he had to ask inch by inch: "Then can I drive by myself?"
"Can you drive?" said Director Bao in surprise.
"It will be a little bit," Gu Biao decided to find an excuse, "I secretly practice with the car in my father's factory, I may not be very proficient, and in addition, I can't repair cars." ”
Although Gu Biao's driver's license in his previous life also took the manual transmission, he later drove it in an automatic transmission at work all year round, so he basically forgot how to step on the clutch, and nothing else was fine.
However, the driving test in the 80s, although the definition of driving accuracy is more "unrestrained", but there are more mechanical structures and car repair items - cars in this era are too easy to break, and you can't be a driver at all if you don't learn simple diagnosis and repair.
"At that moment, I asked Xiao Cai to come with you and try your level first. If you don't drive out of the city, you should be fine, just don't let him go in with you in the end. ”
Director Bao is also reasonable.
It's really that there are too few cars in this era, and there are almost no traffic police checking driver's licenses, unless it's the kind of car that drives around at a glance.
Ten minutes later, Master Cai came back and reported to Director Bao: Gu Biao's driving skills are fine, except that he is a little stiff when he starts, and the back is very stable.
"If you can't see it, then be careful. "Director Bao is too lazy to care.
Gu Biao asked the driver to sit in the co-pilot seat, and the driver showed the way to the military district headquarters.
I also bought some gifts to visit patients along the way. It was nothing more than flowers and fruits, and he wanted to buy carnations, but no, there was only one kind of lily in the flower shop, or the old-fashioned magnolia - later generations could not imagine that magnolia flowers could be cut and sold as ornamental flowers.
When there were still two intersections before the destination, Gu Biao saw a café across the street, so he gave the driver five cents and asked him to order a drink in the café and sit for a while, and then come to pick him up later.
The driver was happy to have extra money and went happily.
Gu Biao drove the last two intersections steadily and stopped directly under the hospital building.
Looking at the empty parking lot, Gu Biao sighed in his heart: This era is really good! No one grabs a parking space!
