After sending off the delegation of mainland presidents, Li Xuan convened several presidents and vice presidents of the company and held a closed-door meeting to discuss cooperation with mainland universities and scientific research institutions.

"The level of the electronics industry in the big 6 is relatively backward as a whole, but it has hundreds of universities, hundreds of scientific research and design units, and more than 100,000 professional engineering and technical personnel.

"Xuan Shao, what you said is just a number on paper, but we don't know the actual situation of the big 6, and if we venture to make an investment, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Wang Yingxian, vice president of administration, objected, and she felt that Dongfang Electronics' current research investment was a little too aggressive. In her opinion, Dongfang Electronics is based on the arcade industry, but the company is now working on only five or six new arcade projects. Among them, the only game that can be brought to market this year is "Mario Bros.".

Even if you include the "Pac-Man" game that was recently acquired from Japan's Namco Co., Ltd., there are only two games that the company can launch in the second half of the year. It is far from comparable to the degree of competitor Sega, which has dozens of new games a year.

Hong Kong Blocks and Tank Wars can be an instant hit, but that doesn't mean that the next "Mario" will continue to be brilliant. As for "Pac-Man", Wang Ying is not optimistic about its prospects at all, which has proven to be a failed game in the Japanese market, but her boss has been wronged and spent a sky-high price of six million US dollars to buy its copyright.

Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this, although Dongfang Electronics is now very profitable and has a lot of cash. But if a new game, Mario, doesn't become as popular as expected, and two old games, Hong Kong Blocks and Tank Wars, are past their peak sales, the company's cash flow will immediately dry up.

In Wang Ying's view, Dongfang Electronics is now like cooking oil on fire, although it looks like a flower, but it is already in crisis. If investing in projects such as handheld game consoles and home video game consoles can be regarded as expanding the foundation in the industry, investing in projects such as electronic and semiconductor games is completely blind expansion.

Li Xuan shook his head with a slightly wry smile, he didn't know what Wang Ying was thinking, the other party had already expressed his opinion several times before. But Li Xuan can't tell her that "Mario" will definitely achieve more brilliant success than "Hong Kong Cube" and "Tank Wars".

Even if he says so, the other party may not believe it. can only wait for "Pac-Man" to be released in the United States next month, and use real sales results to make her and other people in the company who have the same opinion as her temporarily settle down.

"Anne's opinion is somewhat reasonable!" He Guoyuan said with a frown, Anne is Wang Ying's English name, "The political system of Big 6 is completely different from Hong Kong, and there is no perfect law to rely on. In particular, the Big 6 government has not yet had any laws and regulations on the protection of intellectual property rights. Even if we cooperate with the scientific research institutions of Big 6 to achieve scientific research results, it may be infringed and we will not be able to obtain real benefits!"

China's first Patent Law was promulgated in 1984 because when it negotiated with Volkswagen of Germany to establish a joint venture with Volkswagen AG, the German side strongly urged the Chinese government to protect its intellectual property rights.

"It doesn't matter if it is infringed by the big 6 enterprises, for a long time in the future, the main markets of our Dongfang Electronics will definitely be Europe, America and Japan. As long as we can timely and get the international patents of relevant scientific research achievements, even if we lose a large 6 market, it is completely acceptable!"

Li Xuan had simply thought about how much patent fees he could receive in China in the 80s. Even if the Patent Law is promulgated, for a long period of time, domestic enterprises will still infringe on the infringement.

"Then how are you going to cooperate with institutions in the mainland?" Han Peng had just rushed back to Hong Kong from the UK, and the jet lag had not yet reversed, and the tiredness on his face was clear at a glance.

"There are two main aspects, talent exchange and project commissioned research. The first point is talent exchange, which I hope to do is a long-term investment. Relying on the semiconductor laboratory and the electronic laboratory, we give a certain number of places to relevant universities and research institutes in the mainland every year.

They are invited to send some outstanding young and middle-aged scholars and professors to Hong Kong for academic exchanges for one to three years. In this way, we can not only slowly establish the popularity of Dongfang Electronics in China, but also provide a steady stream of excellent scientific research blood for the two real rooms!"

Li Xuan paused, and then continued, "As for the commissioned research project, we can refer to the current collaborative research model with CUHK and HKU. The two real offices will open applications for scientific research projects to domestic partner universities. For all projects that meet our requirements and are reviewed by the real yàn room, the project team of the other party will sign a commissioned research agreement with the real yàn room.

According to the project plan, we allocate the corresponding scientific research funds and scientific research equipment, and regularly review and supervise the use of funds and project progress during the project research process. Finally, according to the corresponding scientific research results, we apply for overseas patents in time!

This kind of commissioned research mode is actually similar to the sample processing that is now popular in the big 6. It's just that in our cooperation, the raw materials invested are intelligence, and the products produced are technical patents!"

"What is the scale of the first phase of cooperation?" Han Peng continued.

"The specific scale can be large or small, and then we will discuss it according to the actual situation. Among them, the presidents of Rongdian and Shanghai Jiaotong University, I have had a brief exchange at the reception reception of the Chinese University, and they all recognize this model! The other two universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences still need us to communicate. ”

Li Xuan knew that everyone else still had a lot of doubts, and he was not ready to rush it, so he said: "This is just one of my ideas, and to really implement it, we need to communicate with CUHK and HKU first." After obtaining their approval, we will communicate with the big 6 parties in the name of the two real yàn rooms, and in addition to the senior management of each school, we also need to obtain the approval of the relevant ministries and commissions of the central government. So it's actually a very long and complicated process to really get started.

I also know that the road has to be walked step by step, and the food has to be eaten one bite at a time. But there are some preparations that need to be done first. There is a point of view within the company that we are now taking too big a step, but in my opinion, it is not, we Dongfang Electronics is inspired to be a research enterprise, not a manufacturing enterprise.

Research is to have a certain forward-looking, a technology application really wait for everyone to see its bright application prospects, those industry giants have already set up dense technical barriers for this, if we wait for that time to enter, we can only be a low-end assembly factory!"
