Chapter 640: The Professionals Are Depressed
As for the patent issue, Hong Tao did not consider the domestic market share at all. ↖ ↖ ↖ He ↖ knows very well that as long as his mouse is launched, there will soon be domestic manufacturers to follow up and imitate it. Even if he cooperates closely with Gu Hongde's chip factory, sending fifty people to count the number of finished chips one by one every day, this secret will not be kept for long. If you have to pay patent fees for everything, the country's foreign exchange is not enough to buy patents, what can you use to engage in production and research and development?
However, this policy is not without drawbacks, this is just like people, when he is used to playing cheat sheets, he will no longer think about learning by himself, because he is too tired and slow to memorize and do questions, and it is so comfortable to take other people's answers with a roll of his eyes. In the long run, the enterprise will lose the ability to create a zào, from the unity of the people to copy other people's homes, gradually become their own people copy each other, and in the end who is more reluctant to engage in research, because the research is also prepared for others, not only can not make money, but also have to lose money.
For a small country, it's nothing to do this, it's short, flat and fast, anyway, there is no resources to develop research and development. But for a big country, it's fatal. Because you can't always be the world's factory, right? You can't copy it for the rest of your life, right? You're sheltered in China, but you're not going to go out and play with others? People know that you like to cheat, will they take you to play with you?
Another point is that it is difficult to export copycat products, especially those involving patents and technical content, which country and company dare not buy. Because if you buy it, you are breaking the law, not the law of China, but the law of their own country. Once the problem is exposed, the evidence is conclusive. This company doesn't want to play in the world, and the fine alone will be dizzy. Reputation was also damaged. Eventually, the stock price will plummet, and no shareholder will believe in a dishonest company, at least you have to be honest on the surface, which is the basis of economic activity in Europe and the United States.
In fact, even if there is no piracy or copycat in China, Hongtao does not plan to sell photoelectric mice on a large scale in China, which is also stipulated by the policy. His joint venture company is only a nominal joint venture, and because there are too few domestic shares, most of his products must be exported, and the domestic sales quota given to him by the Ministry of Commerce is very small. It's simple. If Hong Tao sells a large amount of domestic goods, and the profits obtained have to be transferred abroad, then the country will have to take out a lot of foreign exchange to exchange the renminbi in Hong Tao's hands, because the profits earned from domestic sales are all renminbi. If this is the case, what if the state still has to bring in a foreign-funded enterprise? It is not foolish to make tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure investment and then put foreign exchange into it every year.
Therefore, Hong Tao is not afraid of infringement and copycats, he does not want the domestic market at all, and his eyes are all on the European and American markets. Who over there would dare to infringe. Hong Tao is not so polite, fundamentally speaking, his foreign-funded company is also an American company, and the general agent in the future will be given to Nina's computer company. Let's go to court. Although it is also very expensive to fight this kind of commercial lawsuit abroad, Hong Tao does not believe in this evil. He has already applied for all the patents that can be touched, and if he does this, he will not be able to avoid the occurrence of infringement. Then it doesn't matter if he can't go out to develop, since he didn't have this experience in his previous life. He intends to experience it once in his life.
"At the end of the month, I went to Guangzhou, and Boss Wan and Boss Gu introduced several factories. There are domestic and Hong Kong, I went to inspect and investigate, and it can be decided in May at the latest, and it will be no problem to put into production in July. "Han Xue is still very reliable to do this kind of practical work, she has no imagination and no creative power, but she is serious and never discounted, as long as Hong Tao explains the reason to her clearly, she can implement it meticulously.
"I'm okay here, Nina is in contact with agents in Canada and the United States, but it's only an intention at the moment, and we will have to wait for the first batch of samples to be sent at the earliest. Nina also asked you to ask you, are you going to open this new product launch in China, in Hong Kong, or in the United States or Canada? We also discussed one thing, don't you plan to make this company public? This will raise enough money in a short period of time. "Yulia and Han Xue are completely different styles, she likes to do things according to her understanding, and often takes matters into her own hands to improve what she thinks is flawed. This habit is sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing, Hong Tao himself doesn't like this way of working, but he can't say what's wrong, so he can only make do with it first.
"Let's put it in the United States, and we'll talk about the specific cities when the time comes. The listing matter will be put aside for a while, and I will discuss it when I get to Canada, and there is no rush now. Hong Tao thinks that this kind of computer-related products are more suitable to be released in the United States, where there are many world media and great influence, which is equivalent to advertising his products for free.
As for the issue of listing, he actually never thought about it. The first is that he doesn't know much about the operation of financial capital, the second is that he doesn't need so much money now, and the third is that he doesn't like to discuss everything with a large number of shareholders, and they still don't agree with his ideas, and the real estate investment has made him very annoying, and he doesn't want to make trouble for himself again.
Seeing that she hadn't been talked to by her boss again, Yuria glared at Hong Tao hatefully, and then returned to her desk and started working. Through Guò's observation for more than a year, Yuria has determined that Hong Tao is not pretending, he really has no relevant financial knowledge, and even a lot of basic business knowledge is not very clear. But he was able to suddenly come up with some more advanced ideas, which Yuria couldn't understand at all, it was like building a building out of thin air, and there was no foundation at all, but the building was built, and it was so magical. Originally, Yulia didn't believe in Tan Jing and Han Xue's blind worship of Hong Tao, but now she has to admit that there are indeed geniuses in the world, and her current boss is likely to be one of them, or the most mysterious one.
It seems that God is deliberately trying to undermine Yuria's confidence, and just over two weeks after this conversation, news came from Nina's side that Microsoft has officially released a new version of the operating system. Microsoft's stock rose 9% on the day the news was announced, and continued to soar at the opening of the next day, with the stock price already exceeding $30. It seems that it will not be long before Microsoft will have to start splitting its shares, and Hongtao's $5 million investment is likely to be doubled.
And with the release of Microsoft's new operating system, the stock prices of Intel and Dell have also risen sharply, coupled with Cisco, which has split its shares in the past two months, Hong Tao's investment has reached a 100% accuracy rate.
This made Yuria unable to figure out how a Chinese young man who did not even know the code of the US stocks, did not even understand the most basic trading rules, and had never been to the United States once relied on to analyze such accurate numbers? You must know that in this era, there is basically no information about the US stock market in China, let alone the Internet, and even newspapers and television rarely have specific reports on this figure.
"Monster!" Yuria was very angry, she was not angry that Hong Tao made money, in fact, the more Hong Tao made money, the happier she became, because she and her parents were now tied to Hong Tao's interests, and both prosperity and loss were lost.
She was angry with herself, she had shown extraordinary talent since middle school, otherwise she would not have let Sergei and his family choose to send them to Germany to study. Although she can't be said to be a genius, Yuria has always been proud of her expertise. But for more than a year, she has been hit more than in her life, although Hong Tao also praised her and gave her heavy awards, but in the professional field, she felt like a waste.
What made her even more angry was that her boss was not a diligent boss, and he never worked more than an hour all day, and most of the rest of the time he was playing, playing all kinds of strange things. For example, right now, he was lying on the sofa and asked Han Xue to draw a picture on his back, and it was said that he was going to get a tattoo and tattoo a mouse's head on his own back. This rat's head should not only be vivid, but also cute and amiable, not scary.
"I think this tooth can be more exaggerated, rodents are all big plate teeth, and they have to be poked out. In addition, this beard should be heavier, the beard you draw now is too thin, too realistic, you can't see it from a distance, change it again!" Hong Tao looked at the mirror held by Han Xue, and proposed his own modifications to the mouse head pattern on his back.
"As long as you have a lot to do, don't move, lie down! Where is there a big mouse tattooed on yourself, isn't it two hundred and five! Are you sure this eye has to be so thin and long, the same as your eyes? I don't look like a mouse, but more like a fox......" Han Xue pressed Hong Tao back on the sofa, and while changing it according to what he just said, she couldn't stop nagging.
"I think rats are the cutest animals, they are smarter, more united, and know how to live under the noses of powerful enemies, and if you dare to say the word fox, I will tattoo a fox head on your chest!" Hong Tao became more and more disgusted with others saying that he looked like a fox.
"Cut, tattoo, I have no problem with you tattooing on my face, as long as you dare!" Han Xue was now immune to Hong Tao's various intimidations, and she knew that he wouldn't dare.
"Yuria...... Do you want to tattoo a beautiful pattern on your body? This is the mark of the backbone of our organization, a kind of identity. Hong Tao saw that Han Xue didn't eat him, and then began to harass Yulia again. (To be continued......)
