After inspecting Today's Capital and explaining the company's future investment strategy to Smith, Lin Cheng returned to his country house in Montana in a low-key manner to retreat and cultivate immortals.

Belch...... , not to cultivate immortals, but to engage in patent design.

Since he talked to Smith about the fruit company, Lin Cheng naturally knows that the biggest weapon for the fruit company to rise and suppress its opponents is the dazzling number of patent projects.

With the big killer of the patent stick, even if the fruit company does not produce iPhones, those manufacturers that produce smartphones such as Samsung, HTC, Sony, Google, etc., have to pay a lot of patent fees to the fruit company for each mobile phone they produce.

As for the mobile phone manufacturers who dare to compete with the fruit company for the market, the fruit company is even more merciless to wave the patent stick, like a whack-a-mole, whoever dares to rise up will hit whom.

For example, Samsung Electronics, the biggest opponent of the fruit company in the future, the patent lawsuit between the two sides can be called a protracted war, even if Lin Cheng hangs up and is reborn, their Samsung patent infringement lawsuit since 2012 is still not over, and the two sides continue to argue about the amount of compensation, which makes people tired of watching.

As for Samsung, Microsoft, Google and other mobile phone manufacturers, they have been dragged down by the patent litigation of fruit companies, so that they are deeply trapped in patent companies and cannot fully develop.

Even multinational companies such as Samsung, Microsoft, and Google, which have the world's advanced level, cannot escape the patent trap of fruit companies, let alone domestic manufacturers who have been imitating and never wanted to surpass.

Looking at the mobile phone sales list of later generations, we can be very pleased to see that domestic companies such as Huawei, OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi have rushed into the top ten in the world.

However, don't be in a hurry to be happy, in fact, more than half of the profits earned by our domestic mobile phone manufacturers have to be distributed to foreign manufacturers who have already erected patent barriers, and what they get is only a small part.

This is the status quo of China's high-tech enterprises, whether it is mobile phones, computers, or electronic products such as DVDs, Chinese companies have always been at the bottom of the global industrial chain, equivalent to the role of foundries, can only squeeze the wages of workers, to earn the slightest profit.

In view of this, Lin Cheng naturally will not give the fruit company the opportunity to find patent trouble, but he will return the favor to the other, take the lead in digging holes, and register various patents for smartphones and tablets in advance.

Although he doesn't know anything about the core technology in tablets and smartphones, Lin Cheng believes that the core patented technology of the fruit company is the appearance design and touch screen patent of smart phones and tablets, as long as these two core patented technologies are controlled, any manufacturer who wants to produce smartphones and tablets cannot escape the patent pit dug by Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng has an unforgettable golden finger, and he has also studied design in Xiangjiang for a period of time, so he quickly drew these two core patents.

Next, Lin Cheng recalled any smartphone and tablet he had ever seen, and copied all their appearances onto the design drawings.

Lin Cheng has great ambitions, he wants to exhaust all the design designs of tablets and smartphones, and he will steal all the classic designs of any company in the future.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly what Lin Cheng has always liked: go other people's way and let others have no way out.

……

After working hard for about a week, Lin Cheng finally squeezed out the memories of his past life and designed more than 400 patents in total.

Some people may think that this is too exaggerated, just tablets and smartphones, where did so many patents come from.

But in fact, there are so many, since the establishment of the fruit company in 1976, they have at least tens of thousands of patents, which is completely unthinkable in a country that does not pay attention to patents and is accustomed to infringement and piracy.

And the number of patents successfully applied for by US imperialism is four or five hundred thousand per year.

Chinese always think that patent application is an extremely lofty thing, just like the invention of scientists.

However, in the United States, the United States imperialists have long regarded patent applications as commonplace, but as long as an ordinary American imperialist thinks of an Ideal who thinks he is very creative, he will go to the patent office to apply for it.

If the patent had already been applied, the American imperialists would have just shrugged their shoulders and adopted Wu Zun's new nickname - Wu Bailai.

If the patent has not been filed and he becomes the owner of the patent, then he just has to wait for a company to apply the patent, or buy the patent from him or pay him royalties.

For the American imperialists, applying for patents is a business that can make a fortune, and all he needs is to have a sufficiently open mind.

After designing the patent, Lin Cheng's next thing is to register in patent offices around the world, this kind of troublesome thing naturally does not need Lin Cheng to do in person, he only needs to explain these patent designs to his subordinates, and then go to the patent office to register.

……

Lin Cheng's layout in the United States, in fact, what he values most is Google, which he invested in early on.

Unlike in previous lives, Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founded Google in Silicon Valley as early as June last year after the investment of Lin Cheng, a big financier.

If it weren't for Lin Cheng's inconvenience, the Google startup duo Larry Page and Sergey Brin at this time would still be working in the garage of Susan Wojcicki, the eldest sister of the three Wox sisters in Silicon Valley.

In Silicon Valley, the three Worth sisters are famous, the eldest sister Susan Wojcicki was selected as the most powerful woman in the world and is known as the mother of Google, the second sister is a professor at a prestigious university, and the third sister is an entrepreneur, known as the "female version of Steve Jobs", and married Google founder Brin in 2007.

It's really unimaginable that Google, with a total market value of more than $700 billion, had its first headquarters in a residential garage, which shows the shabby and embarrassment of Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they founded Google.

However, with Lin Cheng's huge capital investment, Google has already moved into the mecca of global technology companies, the American Emperor Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley, located in northern California and south of the San Francisco Bay Area, is another name for the Santa Clara Valley in California, where high-tech businesses gather.

The main part of Silicon Valley is located in Santa Clara County, at the southern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, and is primarily a 25-mile stretch of valley from the county's Palo Alto City to the county capital, San Jose, which was originally the place where silicon-based semiconductor chips were researched and produced, hence the name.

On July 2, 1999, Lin Cheng, who was known as the emperor of science and technology in the new century, came to this science and technology mecca called Silicon Valley for the first time.
