Chapter 81: It's All Yours
Lin Ge sorted out the contract on the table, and finally carefully sorted it out, took one copy for himself, and pushed the other to Lu Hong, and said solemnly: "Brother Lu, you have taken the contract, and everything we will cooperate with in the future will be handled according to the contract." My advice is that you should open a safe deposit box at the bank and deposit the contract in it, so that it is safer. What do you think? β
Lu Hong was embarrassed when he heard this, rent a safe? Don't look at him now that he is a billionaire, but that is the value of the shares, and he hasn't seen a penny yet, where will he get the money to get a safe!
Lin Ge didn't notice Lu Hong's abnormality, and continued to ask: "By the way, do you want to go to the notary office for notarization?" β
"No, you don't." Lu Hong hurriedly said, "Lin Dong, I can trust you as a person, you even signed it, what am I afraid of?" Also, I'm a student and don't want people to know that I'm related to this company. I also asked Lin Dong to help hide it and not to tell the outside world about me. β
Lin Ge smiled: "As you wish." Last time, you said that you wanted to keep a low profile, and this time I went to Han Dongfang to cooperate, and I didn't mention you. However, in order to make him trust, it really took me a lot of words, and in the end, I asked Han Yatou to come forward to convince him that this cooperation has a great future. β
Lu Hong was surprised, he didn't expect that the success of this cooperation would be pushed by Han Bing in the back, and it seemed that he had the opportunity to thank her.
Lin Ge said again: "Another thing to make clear is the patent right of this product, Brother Lu, you don't seem to have applied for a patent yet, right?" Was it in your name or in the name of the company when applying for a patent? β
"Lin Dong plans to apply for a patent?" Lu Hong frowned.
Lin Ge sighed: "Is it okay not to apply?" With the current business situation in China, there is piracy everywhere, which is the so-called copycat. If we don't have a patent in hand, we will be the ones who will suffer in the future. β
Lu Hong was silent, not without a wry smile. Well, as we all know, the market economy in contemporary China started with piracy, and to put it nicely, it is a copycat, but in fact, it is all imitation and plagiarism, and many products have no right to produce at all, that is, they grow themselves without work.
In the seventies and eighties, under the circumstances of foreign blockade and China's backwardness, the cottage did play a great role in promoting the development of China's economy. However, with the rise of intellectual property rights and the economy entering the high-tech era, copycats everywhere have suppressed the development and growth of emerging industries, because the external environment caused by infringement has become worse and worse.
However, these are unavoidable, because the industry involved is too huge, and several industrial chains are the interests of tens of millions of people.
Speaking of cottages, Lin Ge is not without embarrassment and shame, in fact, his own so-called cosmetics production line is more of an imitation of well-known foreign brands, the so-called research room, more of a "take-it-it-ism" style, and has not formed its own exclusive intellectual property rights.
This is also one of the reasons why he values Lu Hong's advanced treatment for acne so much.
Because he went deep into the "cottage", Lin Ge knew better how to protect his property rights, so he repeatedly advocated applying for a patent, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Lu Hong seemed to have different opinions.
"Brother Lu, don't you think you should apply for a patent?"
Lu Hong groaned and said: "Lin Dong, as far as I know, although the patent laws of various countries are different, most of them disclose the content of the invention in exchange for legal protection. It is conceivable that our recipe is a content that can generate great benefits, and if you apply for it, you can exchange it for 20 years of protection at most. Besides, you also said that China's cottages are so powerful, can we be protected for 20 years? Ha, don't laugh, if the product is launched and has a sensational impact, let alone 20 years, it is estimated that there will be imitation products in 2 months, right?
"Also, money moves people's hearts, even if we use some means to keep it secret, but this interest, you say, those powerful people in the country will not be moved? Once tempted, they have more means to obtain the content of the patent. What's the use of that and not applying for a patent? Sue? No kidding, in China, the gains outweigh the losses in a lawsuit over intellectual property rights, and the compensation obtained after winning the battle is not enough to cover all kinds of expenses! β
Lin Ge's heart moved, yes, didn't he win over Han Dongfang because he was afraid that others would be jealous of this huge interest, and he played tricks to make it bad? Han Dongfang may be very deterrent in Yangcheng, but in other places, it is difficult to say.
Looking up and seeing Lu Hong's eloquent and calm kung fu, Lin Ge suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Lu mentioned this problem, he must have already made a decision. Tell me, how do we do that? β
Lu Hong smiled: "It's just a suggestion, Lin Dong listen, if it's too naΓ―ve, please don't laugh." Perhaps, we can learn from Coca-Cola's use of formulas. β
"Coca-Cola?" Lin Ge's spirit was shocked, "Brother Lu means...... Do not apply for formula patents and keep secrets through technical secrets? β
Coca-Cola has hundreds of patents for various trademarks and the like, but its formula has not been patented. The recipe is only passed through the hands of a few people, and it is kept secret separately, so as to prevent the leakage of the recipe as much as possible. Its advantage is that it is an indefinite confidential formula, unlike patent protection, which only protects for about 20 years, but its biggest disadvantage is that once the secret is leaked, it will not be able to obtain protection for evidence.
But looking at Coca-Cola's 100-year history, it has been a success.
Lu Hong said: "In fact, Yunnan Baiyao in our country is also this model. You see, it's been tens or hundreds of years, and the formulas are well protected. We can learn from it, too. β
Lin Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Lu, you have impressed me." Yes, yes, this method can be tried. β
"Lin Dong has won the award." Lu Hong smiled, "Actually, we don't apply for a patent, it's not that we have to hold the formula indefinitely, we originally only planned to be a few years ahead, and then we will upgrade the technology." It's just that I don't want to leak the secret too quickly. Alas, Chinese creativity is really strong, and I can't trust the institutions in our country, when they collude with officials and businessmen...... The formula is still safer in your own hands. β
Lin Ge smiled bitterly, the national situation is like this, what else can he say.
Nodding, Lin Ge approved Lu Hong's suggestion, thought about it and said, "Okay, keep it secret for a few years." In this way, I have people who can be trusted, so I'll arrange it. In addition, do you have any thoughts on market pricing, listing strategy, and listing time, Brother Lu? β
"Nope." Lu Hong shook his head and said, "This Lin Dong is a professional, so I won't interfere, I will only take dividends, and everything will be arranged by Lin Dong." β
Lin Ge smiled with satisfaction and nodded, he liked Lu Hong's attitude, the company was originally owned by him, and he really didn't want others to interfere in the operation, which would make him very uncomfortable.
Lu Hong didn't interfere, not because he was modest, but because he really didn't plan to deal in any cosmetics, and he cooperated with the other party, more to get development funds and improve his own situation. He has his own ideas for the future development path!
The matter was almost settled, and Lin Ge was also relieved, he first pulled out a document from under the table, and then took out a lot of things from the pocket of his coat, and threw them in front of Lu Hong, making a rattling sound on the table.
Lu Hong fixed his eyes, a few documents, a bunch of keys, a few small red and green books, and something similar to a bank card, stunned, and looked at Lin Ge strangely.
Lin Ge pointed to the things on the table and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, how can you say that you are also a shareholder of the company now, and you still have to have what you should have." This key is for the house and the car, the document is the proof of their ownership, and in addition, this is a UnionPay card from the Bank of China, and in the future, they will all be yours, because the name of the head of the household is yours. β
"Me?"
"This is what I sent you." Lin Ge waved his hand, very arrogant.
"It's all mine......" Lu Hong's eyes widened at the things on the table, his mouth wide open enough to swallow a few duck eggs.
