In his factory office, Mr. Anteng read documents one by one, taking out a handkerchief every minute or two to wipe the sweat from his face.

The air conditioner in the room seemed to be broken, and he couldn't control the cold, so he relied on a floor fan blowing at him to relieve the burning heat in his heart.

How could this be, how could this be, why did the Hong Kong manufacturer only stare at him alone, sue him in court for patent infringement, and file a huge compensation claim of up to 240 million yen against him.

And the most incredible thing is that the court actually accepted it!

An Teng Renping and the operators of small and medium-sized electronics companies like him were extremely stunned and could not accept this result. You must know that in order to develop the electronics industry, the country has implemented a strict protection system internally.

Japan's electronic development, which already lagged behind Europe and the United States, was the first pot of gold it earned in the 50s by providing logistics services to the US military during the Korean War. Then he began to develop light industries such as textiles, and then invested the capital accumulated over the years into the iron and steel metallurgical industry, and then transferred to the automobile manufacturing industry.

Although it is said that with the support of the United States, various advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment can be purchased from all over the world, but every investment has made factory owners all over Japan tremble, for fear that the investment will fail.

By the mid-sixties, Japan had once again set its sights on electronics manufacturing.

Just like the previous industrial investment, the domestic electronic manufacturing enterprises have implemented a protective policy, if there is no policy protection, with the weak competitiveness of the nascent enterprises, the competition will not win the mature electronic manufacturers in Europe and the United States.

The development of any industry starts with imitation.

Of course, the word imitation is actually equivalent to plagiarism, but it sounds better to the outside world.

It was by plagiarism, no, imitation that Anteng Renping gradually expanded from a small resistor manufacturing workshop to a regular electronics factory. It took more than 10 years to expand the factory to more than 500 workers, and a new factory was built just last year.

There are more workers, equipment has been upgraded, and various hardware investments have been spent on savings over the years. If you want to survive in the increasingly fierce competition, you need more sources of profit to support a huge family business.

Just as he was looking around for an investment, the Space Invaders arcade was launched.

At that time, when he went to the underground arcade opened by Taiyu Technology in Tokyo to inspect the project, he was simply shocked: the arcade hall hundreds of meters was crowded with people, people next to each other, and the smell of sweat stains in the air discouraged him.

The whirlwind was blowing so fast that within a month, "Space Invaders" was displayed in bars, game halls, and pool rooms in Tokyo. There are even good things in the reporter who made a report that "there are no bars where "Space Invaders" is placed, and there are many fewer customers patronizing it.

Since then, he has made up his mind: to pirate Space Invaders!

It's just a Hong Kong company, even if it's pirated, what can they do with it? And through various channels, he learned that many of his peers had made the same decisions as him. It is obviously a Japanese market, and it is intolerable that a Hong Kong businessman still wants to come and grab their cake.

But when I actually started doing it, I found out that this game is not good for piracy.

The other party added key protection to the key chip where the game program was stored. Without the correct key, the programmer cannot read the contents of the chip at all, and the first reading locks up, and then the chip voltage rises, burning out the core data area.

Anteng Renping asked the factory technician to try several times, but failed, and scrapped the sample machine he bought at a large price.

Helpless, he only watched Taiyu Technology grab money like a money, making a lot of money in the Japanese market, salivating but helpless.

Just when he finally decided to give up and was about to look for other projects, a turning point appeared, and "Space Invaders" that was not produced by Taiyu Technology appeared on the market! In terms of appearance, this arcade machine is almost identical to the original, with the game graphics, settings, rules, and even the level mode being exactly the same!

Only the upper eyebrow frame originally printed with the logo of Taiyu Technology is nothing.

He was moved again, asked around for connections, and finally learned that this was a large game manufacturer that copied the setting of "Space Invaders" and rewrote the game program by itself, and he was immediately excited.

I also know that this kind of investment can only be afforded by large game manufacturers.

Of course, because this is a Hong Kong company, there will be manufacturers who dare to pirate in the face of the world's condemnation. For example, last year's "Pool Ball" arcade produced by an American company also swept the Japanese market, but no company dared to pirate copies -- isn't it looking for death to snatch food from the mouths of Americans?

Through a relationship, Ren Ping asked a related person to buy the source program privately from a programmer for 5 million yen, and immediately worked overtime to make it.

He moves fast, and others are faster than him.

Just before his pirated machines came out, the market was already flooded with all kinds of pirated machines. There are three large game manufacturers alone, and it seems that all of them are developed in-house. As for the number of small and medium-sized electronic enterprises, there are more and more miscellaneous, at least no less than 100.

When the pirate machine manufactured by the Aten Renhei factory first came out, it was fine, and the market price was basically 390,000 yen per machine. But within a few days, the new pirate manufacturers took price reduction measures in order to sell their machines, and the price was reduced to 380,000 yuan at once.

Immediately after, other merchants also began to reduce prices.

As more and more merchants entered the market, the price of pirated arcade machines began to plummet, approaching 330,000 yen.

Just when An Tengren was so angry that he jumped to his feet, he suddenly received a court summons: his company was sued by Taiyu Technology!

He was at a loss.

He wasn't the one who pirated the originally, he wasn't the one who recompiled the program, and he wasn't the first to launch the pirated machine. It wasn't him who was the biggest, and he wasn't the first to reduce the price, why, why did he just sue him in court?

And, moreover, the court took it!

I'm a domestic electronics manufacturer, and I'm the one who should be protected.

……

An Teng Renping was angry and frightened in his factory, and Zhou Xiaoshan was also anxious and restless in the general manager's office of Taiyu Technology.

"Darling, what are you doing here, why are you acting like a frightened kitten?" Pan Meifeng pushed the door in, saw him like this, covered her mouth and smiled.

The two have known each other for several months, and under Pan Meifeng's currying favor, their relationship heated up sharply.

The Pan family is also a member of this newly established interest chain, and the two sides already have close interest ties. Coupled with Pan Meifeng's personal relationship with Zhou Xiaoshan, she often goes in and out of Taiyu Technology, just like in her father's company.

"Did you read today's newspaper? Vietnam has amassed heavy troops on the Cambodian border and made a posture of going to war, and the bilateral situation is very tense, and there is a possibility of a big fight! Zhou Xiaoshan threw out a copy of "Ming Pao", frowned, and walked around the office with a rather serious expression.

"So what? If they want to fight, just let them fight......" Pan Meifeng said lightly, threw the Hermes bag in her hand on the sofa, walked over, put her hands around Zhou Xiaoshan's waist, and was as tender as water, "Did you miss me today?" ”

"Think of a fart!"

In the past, when she was so coquettish, Zhou Xiaoshan would hug her with a smile, and she was tender and sweet for a while, but today she pushed her away irritably, and said irritably: "Get out!" I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me! ”

He has been the general manager for so long, and he has also cultivated a majesty, especially the masculinity of people in the military, which sets off his high status. Usually patrolling the factory area, as long as he stares, he can scare the workers.

At this moment, he pushed Pan Meifeng away, and the other party didn't dare to attack on the spot, and was stunned for a while before he said angrily: "Zhou Xiaoshan, what kind of nerves do you have?" Whoever provokes you, who do you find, what kind of man is a woman angry at me? ”

"Get out!"

Zhou Xiaoshan didn't say a word, pushed her to the door, opened the door, pushed her out, and then slammed the door and closed the door.

Click!

Pan Meifeng angrily pushed the door in.

"What are you doing in again?" Zhou Xiaoshan learned from Guan Fei, and as soon as he raised his eyebrows, he was about to have a seizure.

"I'll take the bag!" Pan Meifeng's high heels smacked, walked to the sofa, picked up the bag and turned around, and slammed the door hard when she left, to vent.

Zhou Xiaoshan turned a blind eye to the situation behind him, and just stood in front of the table in a daze, looking at the newspaper on it.

When Guan Fei left, he was assigned two jobs.

The first job is to manage Taiyu Technology, which he thinks he has worked hard to do, and has basically met Guan Fei's requirements. Although sales in the Japanese market have declined recently, the development of Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States has been smooth.

And Guan Fei has brought two new games, one is Lianliankan, and the other is Bubble Bobble.

After the samples of these two games came out, he tried them out, and although it didn't feel as fun as Space Invaders, it was also very good. Especially Pan Meifeng, who can't put down these two games, is very fascinated, saying that this is born for girls, and it must be very popular.

Well, anyway, there are two more new games, and he doesn't worry about bad sales this year.

The second task is to buy food.

The country now supports 1,000 tons of rice per month for military subdivisions, which is logically enough to feed 50,000 people, so this task is no longer very urgent. Although the military sub-district gave 70 tons to the Northeast Military Region and 200 tons per month to the headquarters, there are still about 700 tons.

However, after the military sub-district let everyone eat with their stomachs open, the per capita food consumption reached one catty and three taels per day. Therefore, this little bit of food is roughly enough to eat.

However, the military sub-districts also distributed grain to the masses who came to participate in the labor as remuneration. The grain demand in this area is 40,000 to 50,000 catties per day, or 20 to 25 tons, and the monthly demand for rice is 600 to 800 tons.

This part of the gap needs Zhou Xiaoshan to buy from Hong Kong.

In the past, he used to buy Lao rice, but recently Vietnam has become more and more restless in Southeast Asia, and the Lao military and government have basically been controlled by it. In May, Vietnam also sent a small group of troops into Cambodia, only to be beaten back, and then it hoarded heavy troops on the border, and it was very war-like.

As a result, the prices of rice from Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand have all begun to fluctuate dramatically, and the supply has been intermittent.

It's okay if the price goes up, Taiyu Technology can afford it, but it's annoyed by the lack of supply. Not only military sub-districts should eat rice, but also Hong Kong residents! The drastic fluctuations in the supply of rice have set off a rush to buy rice in the port, and due to the rush to buy, the shortage of rice supply has caused him to find nowhere to buy it.

It's not that you can't buy it at all, but you can only buy it in small amounts.

When those profiteers saw the opportunity, they hoarded and sold one by one, hoping to wait until the price of grain was high to make a lot of money.

Zhou Xiaoshan is irritable, and there is another unspeakable reason, that is, why did Vietnam fight Cambodia!

Aren't everyone all socialist countries, why do you still use swords?

Different ideologies have to fight, and he understands that everyone is a life-and-death hostile relationship. But why do you have the same social system and have to fight each other?

In this case, what is the point of engaging in revolutionary exports? Just like the Vietnam War of Independence was won by us, we turned around and turned to the Soviet Union, which in turn drove the overseas Chinese in Vietnam and fired at us on the border.

Instead of raising a white-eyed wolf, it is better to simply take them directly!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoshan was unconsciously angry from the bottom of his heart, and slammed his fist on the desk. In the face of the facts, he thoroughly accepted Guan Fei's point of view, that ideology is very important and a prerequisite for all contradictions. But this is only one aspect, even if it is a country with the same ideology, the interests between countries are the fundamental core.

If you want to gain the respect of others and rebuild the heroism of the Han and Tang Dynasties, you can only be strong yourself, and there is no other way!
