The next day, Lu Yuan took Yang Weining to Stevenson Law Firm to go through the procedures for patent and copyright applications.

With his help, whether it is to apply for the PCT international patent of AutoCAD, or to apply for the copyright of "China Cube" in various countries, Stevenson Law Firm will follow up the whole process, and there is no need for Yang Weining to do anything.

Moreover, for international patents like this, the patent term is generally calculated from the date of filing the patent application, so Yang Weining does not have to worry about being truncated during the patent application period.

What's more, the core algorithm in AutoCAD is unlikely to appear in the patent application.

In the next few days, Yang Weining waited for news from China while following Lu Yuan to prepare a game company.

The company was named Xiangjiang Rubik's Cube Game Co., Ltd. by Yang Weining, Lu Yuan invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 30% of the shares, as the legal representative, Yang Weining with "Chinese Cube" shares, accounting for 70% of the shares.

In this regard, neither Lu Yuan nor Yang Weining has any objections.

After all, although Yang Weining is the producer of "China Cube", most of his energy is focused on China, and the main management of the company is still in charge of Lu Yuan, so the proportion of shares is relatively reasonable.

In the past two days, Yang Weining has been running around with Lu Yuan during the day, and after returning at night, he has been busy designing products in the real sense of the Rubik's Cube game.

That night, just after eating, Yang Weining took a pile of manuscript papers, found Lu Yuan, and said, "Uncle Lu, are you free at night, I want to talk to you about the next development direction of the Rubik's Cube game." ”

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned and said, "Okay, let's go to the study and talk." ”

Yang Weining nodded, and the two came to the study together.

Sitting down on the sofa in the study, Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about the development plan of the Rubik's Cube game two days ago, but I saw that you have been writing and drawing at night, so I didn't say it, and now you have determined the direction of the company?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, this is the first game product I designed for our company, you can take a look first." ”

As he spoke, he handed the manuscript paper in his hand to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took the manuscript paper and looked at the two-dimensional drawing on the manuscript paper, on the drawing, the center is a vertical LCD screen, the lower left corner of the display screen, there are four diamond-shaped buttons, the right side is a big button, and there are four small buttons above the big button.

Lu Yuan wondered, "...... this?"

Yang Weining said with a smile: "This is the design of the handheld game console of "Chinese Cube", the four buttons on the left can control the direction of the block movement, the big button on the right controls the rotation of the block, and the remaining four small buttons are power, start, settings and sound buttons. ”

"Pocket consoles, you mean we produce this?"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, he was still addicted to playing "Chinese Cubes" these days, so as soon as Yang Weining said it, he understood the functions and gameplay of this handheld.

Yang Weining nodded and said, "Uncle Lu, in fact, the most suitable platform for our "China Cube" is not PC, nor is it a video game console like Atari, but a handheld machine! I don't know if you have heard of Nintendo's Game & Watch?"

“Game & Watch？”

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned.

Yang Weining nodded and said: "This is a handheld game console launched by Nintendo, a toy manufacturer in RB last year, its basic principle is to set a few simple patterns in a fixed position on the monochrome LCD screen, and the player controls the character to move between these points through the buttons on the machine, and combines it with a fixed color background to achieve basic interactive game functions, and the function is very simple." The reason why it is named Game & Watch is because it can not only play games (Game), but also compatible with the time display and even alarm function of electronic watches (Watch), and its small size is also very suitable for carrying around, and it quickly became popular after its release, with 6,000 yen per unit, and sold nearly half a million units last year. ”

Lu Yuan was taken aback: "Six thousand yen, equivalent to one thousand Hong Kong dollars, five hundred thousand units, do you mean that this company earned 500 million Hong Kong dollars from this last year?"

Yang Weining nodded and smiled: "It should be 500 million in revenue! And it's only in the RB market." ”

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said: "This is also very powerful, I didn't expect such a small game machine to hide such a big business opportunity." ”

Although Lu Yuan doesn't know how big the game market will be in the future, he also feels that what is in front of him is probably a big gold mine.

Yang Weining smiled silently, Game & Watch adopts the mode of machine and game binding, one machine and one game, from 1981 to 1991, a total of about 43.4 million units were sold worldwide, not counting the huge number of various copycat products.

This little thing brought Nintendo a huge amount of profit, not only helping the company pay off nearly 7 billion yen in arrears, but also leaving a surplus of about 4 billion yen, which was naturally used in the development of the FC console.

More importantly, this product has helped Nintendo complete the transformation from a toy manufacturer to a game manufacturer, and Game & Watch is also recognized by the industry as the starting point of Nintendo's game empire.

For the Rubik's Cube company, the "China Cube" handheld is undoubtedly a higher starting point.

There is no need for Yang Weining to say more, the moment he took out the design of the handheld, Lu Yuan decided to do a big job.

He was originally the largest distributor of electronic components in East Asia, and it was not too simple to get together the parts of a small handheld computer.

Therefore, Yang Weining easily persuaded Lu Yuan to prepare the relevant factories for handheld computers first, and after negotiating with Jobs, he would start the handheld plan immediately.

In the next few days, while Yang Weining was busy in Xiangjiang, he did not forget to pay attention to the big drama in Rongcheng.

Every night, he would talk to Gong Weijiang on the phone to learn about the latest situation in Rongcheng.

During this period, the Rongcheng side did its best to entertain the US delegation, and in addition to inviting guests to dinner, it also led the members of the delegation to visit the surrounding areas of Rongcheng.

These Yankees were quite interested at first, after all, the exotic culture and scenery still made them full of freshness.

But after a few days in a row, the Americans began to get anxious.

They began to try to find out the attitude of the Chinese side, but the Chinese escort either talked about him left and right, or pretended not to know.

The Americans were bubbling with anxiety and could not get a response in Rongcheng, so they began to find ways to find out the news from the official through various channels, and even put pressure on the relevant departments through diplomatic and commercial means.

In this way, the pressure on Gong Weijiang is great.

He had to call Yang Weining and ask him when he was going to drag it out.

Yang Weining Chengzhu said in his chest: "Minister Gong, if you can't bear it, give the Americans a little sweetness to taste, let them operate AutoCAD on the machine, and really feel the power of this software." ”

Gong Weijiang was slightly stunned and said, "There won't be a problem in this way, will it let the Yankees see the technical secrets inside?"

Yang Weining laughed and said: "Don't worry, Minister Gong, if this AutoCAD I made is so easy to be imitated, then I will live for so many years in vain!"

Not to mention some of the algorithms involved in this software, the display adapter that Yang Weining found Xia Peisu alone is enough for Americans to explore for a year or two, not to mention, the overall design ideas and concepts of AutoCAD are almost 30 years ahead of this era.

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved!"
