Chapter 67: Patents and Resignations
The second watch is here!
……
At night, the express train K26 slowly drove into the train station, and the 4-hour journey was still too fast for two people who admired each other.
Originally, Zhang Fan and Li Yue bought D-shaped bullet train tickets, and it only took more than 1 hour to arrive in Pengcheng. But when waiting for the bus, I met two elderly people who were anxious to visit their postpartum daughter-in-law and grandson, but the tickets had been sold out, so the two took the initiative to exchange the tickets with the second elder, so they slowly made a hard seat for 4 hours.
On the train, they talked from childhood to adulthood, from hobbies to dreams, and this train trip was more like a date than the last time in the snack street.
Stepping out of the wide hall, a cool evening breeze blew, making Zhang Fan and Li Yue very comfortable.
"I just found out that Pengcheng can't see the stars at night. Zhang Fan, can you see it in your hometown? ”
"Of course." Zhang Fan looked at the top of his head and said: "I remember that when I was a child, there was no fan at home, and when the heat was unbearable, my grandfather took me to sleep outside. ”
"Hehehe......" Li Yue covered the corners of her mouth and chuckled: "You were so funny when you were a child, when I was a child, I just asked my dad when I saw the stars, that one is the Cowherd, and that one is the Weaver Girl." I remember that I could still make out the picture at that time, but I hadn't seen it for years, and I didn't know if I could find it. ”
"I didn't think that Sister Xiaoyue also knew about astronomy, can you teach me if you have time?" Zhang Fan asked as he walked.
"Of course you can, but you can't learn in vain." Li Yue turned the corner of her skirt and came to Zhang Fan, and suddenly realized what she was saying: "Ah, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl...... How do I say that. He can't be misunderstood, right? What to do? ”
"Sister Xiaoyue?" Zhang Fan asked curiously when he saw her wandering.
Li Yue hurriedly came back to her senses, remembered that Zhang Fan still had something to do, and immediately said, "Didn't you say just now that your employees were still waiting for you in the hotel?" Go back. I'll just take a taxi home. ”
"Hmm. Then you pay attention to safety. Zhang Fan waved his hand to stop a car and send her away.
……
At the Wangjiang Hotel, Feng Hong worked in the lobby for two hours, and her heart became more and more worried.
As the person in charge of the company's management, she felt that she should have thought that if she had hired a few security guards on duty, she might not have encountered such a thing.
In addition to the uneasiness of dereliction of duty in her heart, Feng Hong also felt ashamed of her trust in Zhang Fan.
While she was distracted, Zhang Fan walked into the hotel alone and was greeted by the waiter. "Mr. Zhang, you're back. Miss Feng is waiting for you in the lobby. ”
"Boss." Feng Hong hurriedly got up.
Zhang Fan nodded: "Go to my room and talk." By the way, a snack at night? Just caught the train and haven't eaten yet. ”
"Yes, we have Cantonese dim sum, Yangzhou dim sum, which one do you want?" Night shift staff said.
"Cantonese. Serves two. ”
The two-day trip to Huadu made Zhang Fan like Cantonese morning tea and dim sum. Walking into the suite, Zhang Fan poured two cups of hot tea and invited Feng Hong to sit down.
"How is Aunt Sue?"
"Much better." Feng Hong took the teacup and felt a little lower: "Boss, I should be responsible for the theft of the company, I want to ......"
Zhang Fan interrupted her words, drank hot tea and said: "You are responsible, and things have happened, it is better to learn a lesson no matter how much you say." You go back tonight and prepare a report, which will be said tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Fan threw a smile at her: "Sister Hong, don't doubt your ability. I watch your efforts every day, and if you make a mistake once and learn a lesson, we will be stronger next time! ”
"Hmm!" Feng Hong nodded heavily, and said with tears in her eyes: "I know the boss!" ”
"It's good to understand." Zhang Fan smiled, moved his muscles and said, "Su Xiu, what do you think?" Can it be cultivated? ”
"She should be okay with her loyalty to the company, but there are some places where I get angry when I look at it." Feng Hong put down the water glass, "Her mother and her brother are too much, they all treat her as a money-making machine!" The most infuriating thing is that Su Xiu doesn't know how to resist, what they say is what they say! I'm so. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Fan was curious, and at this time, the snacks outside the door were delivered, and Zhang Fan and Feng Hong talked about Su Xiu while eating.
……
In the early morning, a light rain relieved the scorching heat in Pengcheng for the past few days, and the raindrops rhythmically knocked on the windows.
Broadcasting (string station).
"That's the case with the relevant current political news, let's talk about the report related to the city's electronics industry for a day......"
"Today, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "World Information Technology Industry Development Report", the report mentions: in the field of mobile intelligence booming, patent disputes and litigation cases are also rising significantly, Huaxia intelligent equipment industry is about to face severe patent risks.
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology believes that enterprises should look at the future with a long-term vision and carry out patent layout while accelerating innovation capabilities."
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology hopes that relevant enterprises can boldly learn the 'Spark Spirit' and put forward five suggestions. 1. Accelerate self-innovation according to the government's industry. 2. Tighten the ...... of design and UI patents"
"3. Accelerate patent research and development and protect their own patents. 4. Learn IBM and set up a patent operating company. 5. Acquire forward-looking technologies and seize future opportunities. ”
In addition to the above 5 points, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also reporting that... Hey (back in 2008), I just received a notice from the traffic management department that there was a traffic accident at the intersection of the western section of Commercial Road and Industrial Road......"
Click, Zhang Fan raised his hand to turn off the radio, and said thoughtfully: "Just said learning the spirit of Xinghuo?" Referring to my company? ”
A thought flashed, Zhang Fan didn't think about it anymore, and quickly entered the few opinions he had just heard into his notebook.
In his opinion, this proposal is very useful, and among them, "protection of patents" and "acquisition of forward-looking technologies" he has written about in the new program. However, he did not think of the establishment of a 'patent operation company'.
Click Save, and a big idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Fan's mind!
Founded in 1911, IBM, a company specializing in information technology and related solutions, now has 300,000 employees and operates in more than 160 countries and regions around the world.
Let the Chinese people know IBM, it is Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business in 04.
That incident was a big milestone for Huaxia Enterprises, but there are several things behind it that are unknown. The reason for IBM's sale was not due to poor operations, but was correctly determined by reference to the situation in the computer industry at the time. Looking at the development of the PC computer industry now, it was a very wise choice for IBM to sell its personal computer business at that time.
At present, IBM has more than 6,000 patents, and the total number of patents has ranked first in the world for 20 consecutive years.
With a large number of patents, IBM can earn $1 billion a year in patent licensing fees.
To control patents is to control the real right to speak.
After learning about the company in the past few days, Zhang Fan found that after the development of a mobile phone, Xinghuo has involved the patents of Microsoft, Qualcomm and other giants, and some technologies cannot be controlled by these giants at all.
Before the eleventh holiday, Li Jianguo, the hardware department and Zhang Fan calculated that according to the current mobile phone design standards, the hardware cost of a Spark mobile phone is 798 yuan (about 130 US dollars), in addition to the hardware, there is also a large amount of patent licensing fees! It's almost on par with hardware spending!
LTE patent + WIFI patent two sets down, so that Xinghuo each mobile phone out of an additional 740 yuan (about 120 US dollars).
The superposition of these two costs is close to 1600 yuan, perhaps this is the reason why the price of genuine mobile phones remains high, and a copycat mobile phone completely eliminates the major item of patent.
……
"If you want to set up a patent operating company, who should be the right person?"
got up, and a person suddenly flashed in Zhang Fan's mind - Liu Wenhua.
This person is also one of the candidates he cultivated, and his position in his heart is even higher than Feng Hong's six, but Liu Wenhua has a very big shortcoming! That is, great ambition.
From his last trip to the United States, Zhang Fan saw the same wolf temperament from him, that kind of determination to be desperate for success.
Zhang Fan needs ambitious people, but he doesn't need a person with greater ambition than him, so he has to temper the beast again and again, so that Liu Wenhua will always leave a brand in his heart: 'You can't challenge the wolf's head'.
"Now, this person is very suitable, has vision, understands foreign languages, and is very learning, but he still needs to hone his ......"
"Then let it go first, and deal with the company's patents first."
Thinking about it, Zhang Fan checked his backpack and walked out of the room.
……
Yasheng Building, Spark Company.
On the first day after the long holiday, less than half of the 122 employees of Xinghuo came, and the silent environment was more gloomy than the weather outside the window.
"Xiao He, how many people have resigned, you sort it out, and I will make a report when the boss comes."
"Sister Hong." Xiao He, who was noted, stammered: "I, I'm also here to resign today, I'm just going to tell you." ”
"What's going on!" Gao Tingting's squeezing anger suddenly broke out: "Zhang Fan is sorry for you?" I want to go and get out! ”
"What do you mean by that?" An employee who came to resign provoked: "The boss didn't pay us much until today?" Yes, how good is the 2% dividend, and can it be realized? Shall we eat too? ”
"Colleagues, you'd better not be deceived by them, now Huasheng Group has established a new Tianle Technology Company, which is also a Android smartphone, with a basic salary of at least 4000+ starting ......"
"Get out!" Li Jianguo interrupted the other party's words with a loud shout.
"Not bad!" Feng Hong said coldly: "Now non-Xinghuo employees, please leave here, and colleagues who want to resign please come with me." Wu Ge, let me use your computer. ”
"Oh, okay Sister Hong." Wu Ge hurriedly came back to his senses and unplugged the notebook that was being charged, and some employees who had resigned silently walked out of the studio. Su Xiu stood at the window and secretly clenched his fists.
Elevator downstairs.
Zhang Fan saw familiar figures walking out of the elevator one by one, and said with a smile: "What are you going to be busy with?" ”
"I'm not going to the boss." A girl who resigned blushed.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan looked at the employees who came out in surprise: "You all resigned?" ”
