In order to firmly pull the school by his side, Hong Tao felt that it was not enough to send honors and money, so he asked Patriot Computer Company and Beijing Normal University to form a scientific research mutual aid relationship. Specifically, Patriot Computer Company provides a certain amount of research funds to the university every year, and the school needs to pay when necessary, to open up the research resources in the school to the real room of Patriot Computer Company, such as some data reserves, borrowed names, scientific research teachers and student resources. Moreover, Patriot Computer Company can also help the school in how to convert the school's scientific research results into products and sell them, of course, these are not free of charge, and the specific proportion will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

At the end of July, Professor Wang took the Soviet expert through the formalities and embarked on a flight to Los Angeles, where they would meet with Han Yan and then prepare for the preliminary patent application. The main thing is to sort out those patent documents, and then use a printer to print them into official documents. Finally, together with a local patent attorney, we started the application process.

According to U.S. law, an application for an invention patent must be closed within one year and the term of protection is 20 years, while in European countries, the date of closure is slightly longer, and the term of protection is the same. However, since there are dozens of patents applied, both inventive and usable, the process may take a little longer. However, this is not a problem, Professor Wang and they only need to complete and submit the materials in accordance with the local laws before returning to China, and the rest will be completed by those patent attorneys.

While Hong Tao was busy with patents and factories, southern China was hit by a massive flood, beginning with heavy rains beginning in the Huai River valley. Then it spread to the Yangtze River basin, and five or six provinces were affected at the same time. When one side is in trouble, all sides support. As is customary, every street in the capital began to call on merchants to donate. Various enterprises and institutions have also begun to let individual employees donate.

Because of what he saw and heard in later generations, Hong Tao did not have much interest in this kind of donation. This is a bad account, how much is the total donation, how much is spent, where is spent, not to mention the detailed account, there is not even a general ledger. China's Red Cross is probably the best Red Cross in the world, and if you donate money to it, it won't care about you anymore.

Since it's a hot face sticking to other people's cold butts, then Hong Tao shouldn't be this cheap bone, whoever likes to stick it. How much do other stores and companies donate? Then I will donate as much as I want, never less than others, but never a penny more. Let's not play the fucking thing of donating 10 million and then actually giving 200,000, Hong Tao doesn't need to stick this gold on his face, and this gold is not something that everyone can paste if they want to, and if they don't stick it well, it will become Xiang.

However, Hong Tao was not idle, and Jinzhai County, which was also affected by the disaster, according to the engineers who stayed behind, two sections of the repaired roadbed were washed away by flash floods. The traffic between the inside and outside of the mountain has basically been cut off, and the only way to get in and out is by foot on some mountain paths. Although Hong Tao can't manage other places, Hong Tao feels that he is still responsible for the road he built. He asked Xiao Wu to transfer a few pieces of excavation equipment from the equipment rental company and then transport them to Jinzhai County to help the local villagers open up the road first.

And these excavators don't have to be shipped back. The driver of the rental company that followed the equipment would select some local villagers and train them for a while. Then the equipment was owned by the villages in the mountains, and they maintained and used it themselves. Even if there is no heavy flooding in a mountainous area like theirs, there will inevitably be a landslide or something. In the future, they will be able to clear the way for themselves. As for the procedures for these equipment, then they have to coordinate with the local government, Hong Tao only needs to dig a pit and bury it, he is not even willing to trouble the government for his own affairs, let alone disturb the work of the people's housekeepers because of other people's affairs.

For the loss of these equipment, Hong Tao will pay for a new batch of new additions from Xiushui Trading Company. After entering the ninety-one year, although the Soviet Union is still surviving, but from all indications, it is estimated that it will not be able to bear this year, and now the ruble is completely eliminated in the border trade, and even the uncle who sells roasted white potatoes will not accept this kind of thing that depreciates three times a day, and it is too hard to be a wallpaper.

But for the Silk Trading Company, the more chaotic the Soviet Union, the greater its benefits. Now there are more and more Soviet masters on the other side of the river, and the types of goods that can be provided have also increased. They can help you get any products that the Soviet Union can get, as long as you have the goods in your hand, whether it is clothing, shoes, hats, snacks and liquor, they want it, and the quantity is not too much.

Now the Silk Trading Company no longer sees anything in exchange, and the superior unit of the eldest aunt has also begun to do business with Xiushui. They have a great appetite, as long as they need steel, wood, machinery and equipment, and cement, even if Xiushui ships here 24 hours a day, they can't feed them. Now both are hungry wolves that can't be fed, and Xiushui Trading Company is the one standing between the two hungry wolves, which is equivalent to pulling out a little profit from the wolf's mouth, although it looks very beautiful and uncertain.

At the end of June, a civil war broke out in Yugoslavia, and the country was in disarray. For this country, Hong Tao is also very nostalgic. "Walter Defends Sarajevo", "The Bridge", "The Battle of Sutjeska", "The Man on the Blacklist" and other old movies occupy a very important part of Hong Tao's memory, ah friend goodbye, ah friend self, see you! Ah friend goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye......

So, the invasion of culture is invisible, intangible, and very deceptive. From Hong Tao's father's generation, including Hong Tao's little uncle, and Hong Tao himself, they grew up watching these films from childhood to adulthood. Whether they like it or not, they will involuntarily prefer countries like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in their values, because their movies and songs are an extension of their culture and values.

In the same way, when the children in later generations grow up watching Japanese cartoons and American movies, whether they like it or not, their values will be equally tendentious. It's not something you can erase if you want to, and sometimes you may not even realize it, but it's already deep into your bones.

On 1 July, the party's birthday, the Warsaw Pact, one of the world's two largest military organizations, officially announced its dissolution, and the Cold War ended. From this day on, there will be only one superpower in the world, and that is the United States. The main theme in the world is no longer the armed confrontation between the East and the West, but the open and covert competition in the economic field.

And that's not all, on 19 August, the Soviet Union broke the big news that a coup d'état had taken place in its country. A part of the hardliners of the CPSU detained then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and announced that the president could not perform the presidency due to health reasons, and that from now on Soviet Vice President Yanayev would act as president. At the same time, the creation of a State Emergency Committee was announced, exercising full state powers, to impose a state of emergency in parts of the USSR for a period of six months.

The coup d'état was the last time the Soviets saved themselves, and if they succeeded, they could have continued to maintain a loose state of power. It is a pity that Russian President Boris Yeltsin stood up at this time, resolutely opposed the hardliners led by Soviet Vice President Yanayev, and called for a nationwide strike and protest. Three days later, Gorbachev returned, which meant that the coup had failed.

However, Gorbachev did not sit firmly in the presidency, and less than a week later, he announced his resignation from the post of general secretary of the CPSU, and at the same time proposed the dissolution of the CPSU. Then the Soviet Union entered a new round of purges, losing its last breath. Then Yuria's homeland, Latvia, officially declared its secession from the Soviet Union, then Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and there was no help.

When Hong Tao told Sergei the news on the phone and attached his opinion, Sergei was silent for a long time and did not speak. However, Hong Tao listened to a burst of crying in the microphone, not only Sergei, but also other people in his room, because the crying was very loud, it was the voice of several people. But when Hong Tao told Yuria the news, she got a different reaction, and she immediately called her parents. Although she was also in tears, Hong Tao couldn't tell that she was grieving, it was more like a relief, and she was still happy.

As far as Hong Tao is concerned, he is very dissatisfied with this result. He didn't want two villains to fight back and forth, for decades, only to end up with one completely defeated and the other unscathed. As the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies will cost you 800, and since the Soviets have not completed this task, they should continue to do it themselves. Of course, he doesn't have the strength to fight with Lao Mei, but he can take a more insidious way, that is, to ruin the pensions of ordinary Americans and turn the money in their pockets into his own. Every dollar that changes is equivalent to a small bite of Lao Mei, as for how much meat can be bitten off in the end, Hong Tao himself does not know, but he has this determination, as long as he still has a breath, he will keep biting.

In fact, his first bite of meat has already been bitten, and now there are more than 70,000 shares of Microsoft shares in the names of Tan Jing and Heizi, worth more than $5 million, and more than 100,000 shares of Dell, more than 30,000 shares of Intel, and more than 50,000 shares of Cisco, with a total value of more than $11 million. Sergei followed up as resolutely this time, he also bought almost $3 million in shares of Microsoft and Dell, in his words, if the money was lost, then he would be smuggled to China, and then live in Hong Tao's house and not leave, and let Hong Tao support him for the rest of his life.
