Chapter 19 If you lift the table, I will smash the plate

Speaking, Wang An couldn't help but think of that year, and said: "Back then, I started a business with only 600 US dollars on my body, and established Wang An's company, helplessly, because I am Chinese, I can't find a job everywhere, so I have to make this decision, even I don't know that only this 600 US dollars can last for a few days, it is this 600 US dollars, I have survived day after day, year after year, I don't know when it is the end, I don't know how long I can survive, until one day, the invention of magnetic core memory, IBM is here, domineering, it's here to rob ~~~~~"

Wang An began to talk about the bitter past of his entrepreneurship back then, Ling Shizhe didn't bother him, listening to what he said bit by bit, he remembered his past life, and how could it not be like him, day after day, but in his previous life, he was not as lucky as him, in that land, no background, no power, an ordinary person who wants to succeed can only dream, unless you can find a backer you can rely on, be his economic spokesperson, but you can be prosperous for a while, if he falls, he will follow him to the end.

After listening to Wang An's explanation of the past, Ling Shizhe asked: "Back then, how did you resolve this crisis?" ”

"How else can I solve it, give up." Wang An looked at him and said, "If you don't give up, what else can you do, can you win?" ”

Give up, Ling Shizhe was stupid, he came all the way here to ask for advice, that's it, give up, he gave up back then, what kind of treatment is this, do you give up every time you invent something, and give it to others for nothing, if so, you Wang An will not become a continuation of IBM in the future, and become the third largest computer giant in the United States after dec, the first largest computer company in China, give up, you Wang An is not a person who can endure slaughter.

Wang An looked at Ling Shizhe, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip of the old god, smiled at him, and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Ling doesn't understand?" ”

Ling Shizhe stood up, bowed to him, and said, "Please ask your seniors for advice." ”

"Don't bow at every turn, come, sit down, I'll tell you, how did I deal with it at that time," after Ling Shizhe sat down, Wang An continued, and said: "At that time, I was distressed for many days, and later, I simply broke the jar and broke it, anyway, I was like this, there was no worse than the situation at that time, so I just let it go, I asked my lawyer to bring a message to IBM, and said: "You IBM does not abide by the rules of the game, then you are welcome, I give up the patent right, I will make it all public, and declare, Everybody can use my patents for free, but not IBM, and I'll make what IBM did to me public. Hehe, I'd like to see how IBM gets to himself when the time comes. ”

"IBM listened to what my lawyer brought to them, I couldn't sit still, because this kind of thing is the most hated in business, although they are foreigners, there is no less lifting the table, but they are all sneaky, dare not let people know, once let people know, they themselves will be finished, as a result, they have to sit down honestly to negotiate with me, my patent was successfully applied, IBM finally paid 40w dollars, buy my patent. That's how the whole thing worked out. ”

After listening to Wang An's story, Ling Shizhe knew the secret of the year, and then Wang An said: "The world only knows that I invented the magnetic core memory, sold the patent to IBM, and made 40W US dollars, but who knows that there are such twists and turns in the middle." ”

After Wang An finished speaking, he sighed, and Ling Shizhe couldn't calm down for a long time, after thinking about it, Ling Shizhe looked at Wang An and said, "They finally spent money to buy your patent, why didn't they talk to you in the first place?" ”

"Talk, talk about something, they didn't want to talk to me from the beginning," Wang An talked about the events of the year, his face slowly flushed a little, and he said angrily: "They didn't look at me at all, because I was Chinese, not white, IBM was also doing similar research at that time, but I got it out, and I planned to sell this patent itself, and the money from the sale was used to conduct new research." But because I am Chinese, if I were a white person, I would not have encountered this kind of thing at all, this kind of racial discrimination in the final analysis, but when the Chinese table is lifted, the Chinese people will not find a place to reason, and they do not need to pay any responsibility and price. ”

Yes, this is the key, why they flip the table, this kind of table-flipping thing does not have the secret support of the government, they can't lift it, even if there is the support of the government, the price paid is not low, under normal circumstances, no company will do that, because this is breaking the rules, Westerners value the rules, that company flipped the table, no matter how strong he is, no matter how hard his background is, he will be eliminated by society, here is the United States where capital is king, not a power-supreme country, Bureaucratic capital here has no market, the price of flipping the table is too great, and you can't afford the big one.

Under normal circumstances, the things that happen to flip the table generally happen in a centralized state, and the thugs are those bureaucratic capitalists, who put on uniforms, they are officials, and when they wear suits, they are businessmen; is both a referee and an athlete, or simply find a spokesperson, that is, to be a and set up an archway, and the price paid by lifting the table is negligible for them, to put it bluntly, it is a business without capital.

But in the United States, a capital country, it is not good, the perfect and mature system of various game rules is the root of the United States, and to lift the table is to break the rules, the rules are all destroyed, does the United States still exist, but it is different when it is put on the Chinese, the magnetic core memory invented by Wang An is the 50s, what era was that time, it was the new republic and the country led by the United States on that peninsula did a war, and the Chinese living in the United States were tragic, many Americans hated the Chinese, and the prevalence of McKinsey's idea, What was the result of the Chinese living in the United States at that time, you don't have to guess to know, IBM was in the context of that time to hack Wang An, in that special era background, there is indeed a great success rate, and there is no need to pay any price afterwards.

What they will do, Ling Shizhe can make up for it, they must have negotiated with the government like this: now China is a communist--sovereign-righteous-country-country, and is still at war with us, that Wang An is Chinese again, very unreliable, he invented that magnetic core memory, which can be used for military purposes, what if he brings this to China, now, many Chinese living in the United States will go to China, to help their country, that is an evil country, Wang is likely to go back, Bring his invention back to help their country, and then come back to us, and we can't let this situation go, snatch his patents, and stink him, completely stink him, so that if he goes back, he will not be trusted by the Chinese government.

snatched Wang An's patent, and framed the blame that he stole their technology and stinked him, at that time Wang An couldn't distinguish at all, and he couldn't get it right, and he was sentenced for stealing. In this way, IBM does not need to bear any responsibility at all, does not need to spend any cost, can have the core memory technology patent, even if it is leaked, they also have reason to say that this technology can be used in the military, he wants to use it in his country's military, we take action, we do it for the country, when the time comes, the US government will stand up to help IBM speak, at this time, the matter has been done, nothing can be recovered.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe was 100% sure that those foreign devils had planned it this way, and it was a conspiracy from beginning to end, a well-planned conspiracy. But they didn't expect that Wang An dared to smash the plate, if you want to lift the table, I will smash the plate, you do the first year of junior high school, I will do the fifteenth, and when the time comes, everyone will not want to play. They are stupid, Wang An released the patent for free, so what's the use, the reason why they want to grab it is to monopolize the benefits of the patent, and now Wang An smashes it, everyone can use it for free, but he can't use it, and when the time comes, not only can he not make money, but he will also lose a lot of money, lose money, and die. They had no choice but to sit down honestly and talk about how dangerous the scene was.

Wang An said that the situation is the general situation of Chinese overseas at that time, from a hundred years ago, Chinese laborers, overseas Chinese are a discriminated group, they do not have any protection in their lives, let alone legitimate rights and interests, although the current Chinese are much better than at the beginning, but discrimination is everywhere, Wang An is lucky, he is the only person known to Ling Shizhe among the overseas Chinese who has entered the mainstream society in the United States, and is the only person who has been recognized, even he is still like this, let alone other Chinese.

The reason why Ling Shizhe opened the company in Canada is to avoid the racist atmosphere in the United States, at this time the United States does not want to be posterity, now is the most prevalent period of racism, last year, Martin Luther King Jr. assassination, so that American racism reached its peak, since then, the treatment of Chinese in the United States slowly began to improve, and in 1973, China and the United States established diplomatic relations, and the Chinese living in the United States basically got better.

Montana, USA, a 10,000-acre farm, a Lincoln diplomat car drove out of the farm, after coming out of the farm, went north, along the road from the United States to Canada, the purpose of this trip, is Toronto, Canada, sitting in the back of the car is a young man, very young, with a smile on his face, it seems that he has met a good thing, he is Ling Shizhe, this time he had a very pleasant conversation with the representative of the Kennedy family, Edward Kennedy, and the two sides reached an agreement, Ling Shizhe bought Law Firm for $4,000W and was responsible for repaying all the debts of the law firm.

Olsen was accompanied, the whole conversation process was very pleasant, Ling Shizhe also had lunch on the farm, the whole process did not mention their respective situations, but everyone knew each other's situation very well, Ling Shizhe had been guided by Olsen before he came, don't say anything, you don't send him anything, just follow the general business negotiations, he invites you to eat, you eat, invite you to visit his farm, you go, but never talk about them or your business, It's as simple as coming to a friend's house and being a guest. The most important thing is that you just take his, don't negotiate the price with them, you just sign it, they won't make a random offer, unless they don't accept your kindness.

After returning to Canada, Ling Shizhe called Alison to his office, and after thinking about it, he said, "Alison, when I am not here these days, everything in the company is okay?" "Boss, everything is normal in the company, except for Kodak's application, in addition, the Canadian government sent someone to say that Kodak will not revoke the application for invalidating our company's patent."

"If they don't revoke it, don't revoke it, let them go, it's time for us to fight back, and ask them to see our strength," Ling Shizhe took out a document from his briefcase, handed it to Alison, and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

Allison looked at it, shocked, and said, "Oh my God, boss, you're going to smash the plate, oh my God, that's not a good idea." ”

"Don't worry, finish reading him, it's a plan, you're talking after you're done."

Alison slowly flipped through the documents, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and finally after reading it, she said: "Boss, I have to say, this is a brilliant idea, as long as this plan is successful, Kodak will be in trouble, in order to ensure success, we have to improve the details." ”

Ten days later, Ambrera published a message in all computer magazines and photo newspapers in the United States, and the whole news occupied a large part of the page, which read: Since the company's research and development of computer cameras on the market, it has been favored by the market, this kind of camera can be used easily by many people who do not understand photography technology, enjoy the fun of photography, but at the same time, it has also been maliciously harmed by some ** companies, in order to let more people enjoy the fun of computer cameras, the company decided, The interface circuit data of the two processors developed by the company for computer cameras are all open to the public, and individuals, companies and research units who are interested in computer cameras are welcome to obtain circuit interface information from the company and develop your own computer cameras and peripheral products. It is hereby affirmed.

After the announcement was issued, there was no sensation, it was calm, and Ambrera was not in a hurry, and announcements about the development of the computer camera were published in newspapers and magazines every day.

On the third day after the notice was issued, Kodak canceled the application to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Patent Office to request the invalidation of Ambrera's computer camera patent, the process was very calm, as if it had never happened, Ling Shizhe heard the news, relieved, and said secretly: Count your acquaintance, if you want to continue, you will know that it is powerful.

In fact, as soon as Kodak saw the technical information of the computer camera opened by Ambrera, the entire company's senior management was stunned, and they all felt incredulous, not understanding what Ling Shizhe wanted to do. This is obviously smashing plates, and in an instant all of them understood that Ling Shizhe wanted to tie all the camera companies and computer companies in the world to his chariot by disclosing the technical information of computer cameras to the world, and to give up the huge market of computer cameras to induce camera manufacturers and computer manufacturers to promote these two processors to him------ arm+1 and digic.

Camera companies and computer companies all over the world have joined in, and the market is full of their computer cameras, and all the executives of Kodak are shuddered when they think of this.

However, in this way, what does Ambrera eat, does he not want this market, all kinds of questions surround the minds of Kodak's senior management, Kodak held a two-day meeting, one by one, one by one, blamed each other, abused, and finally decided to revoke the application for the invalidation of Ambrella's patent, and then, there was no follow-up.

On the fifth day after the announcement was announced, representatives of the first company came to Ambrera.

It was actually Japanese, Ling Shizhe was surprised when he learned the news, he thought that the first one to come was not Minolta, or Zeiss from Germany, but none of them came, it was Canon Co., Ltd. in Japan, Ling Shizhe didn't know that Minolta was an authentic Japanese company. When Ling Shizhe and Olsen came to the reception room, they saw two Japanese people, stood up from the sofa, and wanted them to bow deeply.

These two Japanese, one is a white-haired old man and the other is in his 30s, and through mutual introductions, Ling Shizhe learned that this white-haired old man is called Mitarai Yi, one of the founders of Canon, and the young man in his 30s is his assistant secretary.

When the two sides faced each other on the sofa, and the secretary served coffee, Mitarai opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Ling, I took the liberty to come to the door to disturb, I was on a business trip in the United States this time, and I saw that your company will develop related technologies for computer cameras in the National Geographic magazine in the United States, is this true?" If it is open, in what way? I'm eager to know a little bit more, so please advise. ”

Ling Shizhe smiled and said: "Huan Drink Canon to join our computer camera camp, Mr. Mitarai Yi, we think about it like this, the camera technical data and the processor in 2 and the circuit interface of ARM+1 and DIGIC are open, and manufacturers can develop their own computer cameras after getting our ARM+1 processor and DIGIC processor, and at the same time, we also disclose the technical information of 256K database chips and computer substrates, you can produce them yourself." ”

Mitarai and his assistant listened to the flushed face, excited eyes, rapid breathing, a quick tone to say through, mixed with this Japanese, fortunately, after Ling Shizhe was reborn, he learned a little, otherwise he really couldn't understand what he said, and said: "As for how to design your computer camera after your company gets the 2 processors, our company has no mandatory requirements, you can design it however, as long as your company has a plan for computer cameras, we only provide relevant solutions to computer camera technology, As for sales, I think your company has its own sales network, you can sell it yourself, and of course, you can also sell it in our flagship store. There are no other requirements. ”

"How to solve patents?"

"Our company has no mandatory regulations on ARM+1 processors and DigiC digital image processors, and after your company purchases our 2 processors, you have the right to use all the patents for computer cameras, and you don't need to pay additional royalties."

After listening to Ling Shizhe's words, Mitarai and his assistant breathed more urgently, glanced at each other, and asked, "What about the ultrasonic motor, IS anti-shake accessories and photoelectric induction glass?" ”

Ling Shizhe and Allison glanced at it, laughed, and said: "These three parts, we can provide, these three parts, we do not mandate your company to use, but I want to remind your company that the photoelectric induction glass, used in ordinary cameras, can indeed improve the imaging quality very well, but in the professional camera his performance is completely chicken, and its cost is very high, the cost of each piece of photoelectric induction glass is as high as 80 US dollars, when our company was in production, The target customer group is the high-end camera with the American middle class as the main body, it doesn't matter, if it is a low-income group as the target customer, as well as a professional target customer group, your company can not get this component, you should consider carefully. ”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ling," Mitarai said excitedly, "We have decided to cooperate with your company, and I will send staff from Japan to discuss with your company." ”

Ling Shizhe stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Mitari Yi, happy cooperation. Mite-washi Yi also stretched out his hand and shook Ling Shizhe's hand tightly, shook it, and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

Subsequently, Ling Shizhe signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Mitarai Yi. After Mitarai and his assistant left, the company received a lot of phone calls asking about the opening of computer cameras, including DEC and Texas Instruments.

The list of partners reads: Konica AG, Fujifilm Corporation, Minolta Corporation, DEC Corporation, Texas Instruments, Zeiss AG, Motorola AG, Siemens AG, GE Corporation, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AG

Seeing the cooperative companies on the list, Ling Shizhe was in the office, hahaha, laughed very arrogantly, this is Ling Shizhe's revenge plan, since listening to Wang An's grievances with IBM that day, he thought of a way to smash the plate to solve the siege, when Wang An listened to Ling Shizhe's plan, he was startled, he didn't expect that this Ling Shizhe was even more crazy when he was young, when he sold magnetic core semiconductor patents, he had already planned to sell them, and Ling Shizhe, his computer camera has been on sale for a few months, sales are very good, the situation is getting more and more gratifying, it is certain that this is a huge market, but now, he said to give up, not distressed at all, this courage alone is not comparable to him, but after thinking about it, this method is indeed the most effective method.

This method was still seen in a time-traveling novel before Ling Shizhe was reborn, and he used it today, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, he smiled arrogantly in his office: "Hmph, sample, I can't cure you, you lift the table, Lao Tzu will smash the plate, and honestly get your film." ”

Li Li heard Ling Shizhe's arrogant laughter at the door of his office, shook his head helplessly, and walked away.
