In a café near the hospital, Xiao Yuan sat on a café by the window, looking at the sunset outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the café, a white-haired old couple passed by arm in arm, their figures were very long, and they suddenly sighed, thinking that they would be old in the future, could they also walk with Tang Sa or Xia Jiuying like them.

"Xiao Yuan, you and Yingying will be like them in the future." Rubin's deep blue eyes turned to Xiao Yuan's face from the window, as if he had seen through Xiao Yuan's thoughts, so he said with a smile.

"Thank you for your blessings, I think it will." Xiao Yuan's gaze was retracted from the window, and he expressed his gratitude to Rubin for his blessings, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, put it down and said, "For the sake of that night's events, I went to San Francisco yesterday, and something unexpected happened. ”

Rubin sat up straight and made a gesture of deferentiality, obviously knowing that Xiao Yuan was going to get down to business.

"The old man who has been following me for the past few days, do you know who he really is?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Sima Jingtang, the Great Elder of the Hongmen Gate of San Francisco, am I right?" Rubin said.

"Yes, he is Sima Jingtang, the Great Elder of Hongmen." Xiao Yuan smiled, he was not surprised that Rubin knew the identity of the old man in advance, with Rubin's ability, it was easy to investigate the identity of the old man, not to mention that the old man did not deliberately hide his identity at all.

"Xiao, although we don't have much contact, I found that although you are a very low-key person, you are like a magnet, attracting all kinds of excellent or extraordinary people to gather around you, and this kind of personality charm makes me very envious." Rubin said.

"This is the second time I've heard this recently, maybe for you, this is a good ability, but for me, it's a different matter, it's good that there are more people gathered around me, but the troubles are also continuous, and even affect my family, such as this incident, it is the old man brought me an unwarranted disaster, I escaped, but my sister was injured." Xiao Yuan said.

"Did you investigate what happened that day?" Rubin asked.

"It's the old man who investigated...... Xiao Yuan briefly explained the matter, and by the way, he mentioned that the old man took him as an apprentice, and he competed with Long Taijie.

"Long Taijie, I have heard that this person was once praised by some people in our family as a rare business wizard in the Chinese circle for a hundred years, you compete with him, and you compete with him in the field he is best at, more losses and fewer wins." Rubin knows something about Long Taijie, so he is not very optimistic about Xiao Yuan.

"How much do you know about Long Taijie?" Xiao Yuan asked, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can not be defeated in a hundred battles, he now knows almost nothing about Long Taijie, and this alone puts him in a very disadvantageous position.

"I've only heard of this person, if you want me to talk about his situation specifically, I can't say it, if it's wrong, it will mislead you, but I think our family should have the details of Long Taijie, if you want, I can get you a copy." Rubin said.

"Of course that's good, thank you." Rubin's words were tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to Xiao Yuan, so he hurriedly thanked Rubin.

"As a friend, I naturally don't want to see you lose, and if I can help, I naturally want to help." Rubin said with a slight smile.

"Speaking of helping, I'd like to ask you some questions, and if it's convenient, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor." Xiao Yuan said.

"Just say it, I won't shirk if I can help." Rubin said.

"I want to ask you, how long does it take to apply for a patent in the United States?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Patents?" Rubin frowned and asked, "What patent do you want to apply for?" ”

"The only technical ones I can get out are technical patents." Xiao Yuan replied.

"If you apply through the normal way, it generally takes six to eight months, and the longest is not more than one year, which depends on the technical content and difficulty of the demonstration of the patent you are applying for." Rubin said.

"So long?" Xiao Yuan was a little surprised by the time given by Rubin, and his heart sank, if it took six to eight months, the plan he originally envisioned would not work, because the competition time between him and Long Taijie was only three months.

"Still." Rubin saw Xiao Yuan's brows tightened, and said with a smile on his face.

"You guy hangs my appetite, let's just say how long it will take in the shortest, this is very important to my plan." Xiao Yuan saw Rubin panting, and said with a somewhat angry smile.

"Two months, this is the shortest time I can help you do, and I can't help it any shorter." Rubin said.

"Two months is enough." Xiao Yuan listened to Rubin's words, breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed his body, and asked, "Let me ask you again, if I have a large number of patents submitted together, I don't know if they can all be approved in two months?" ”

"How much is a large batch of patents?" Rubin asked.

"I haven't counted this specifically, but there are probably hundreds." Xiao Yuan said.

"Hundreds?" Rubin's voice couldn't help but improve a lot, and his originally deep eyes widened instantly, losing his previous calmness, "Are you kidding, you submitted hundreds of patents at once, where did you get so many patents?" ”

"You don't have to ask about this, anyway, I have, I just want to ask you, how long can you get the license approved when you submit so many patents at one time?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"So many patents, if the technical content is low, it should be easier to approve and faster, but if the technology is complex, the approval time will probably be longer, and the time will be much slower. Rubin said with a wry smile.

"I really don't know these details, how many patents do you think you can get in three months?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"It still depends on the technical level of your patent." Rubin did not give Xiao Yuan an accurate answer, but suggested a way for him, "I think your patents should be related to computers and networks, if this is the case, you can go to Professor Smith, the patent office often asks him to be the head of the review team, if he is willing to take the initiative to help you, plus my help, maybe the time will be shorter, and it is not impossible to approve a hundred patents in three months." Rubin said.

"Professor Smith is still doing this?" Xiao Yuan was a little surprised by this news.

"The patent office is just an organization and management body, and there are no experts, so they naturally have to look for experts outside." Rubin explained.

"Understood, I'll go ask Professor Smith tonight." Xiao Yuan said.

"What do you think, why do you apply for so many patents, do you want to fight with Long Taijie with patents?" Rubin was a little confused about what Xiao Yuan was thinking, and he was also very curious, so he asked.

"I'm not a business wizard, and I don't know how to manage a company, if you want to defeat a business wizard, you can only go off the rails, my idea is to use this company to build a patent library, and use the potential value of these patents to compare with Long Taijie." Xiao Yuan said what he thought.

"You ......" Obviously, Xiao Yuan's idea was much beyond the scope of Rubin's imagination, and he didn't even know what to say, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "I can't imagine what patents you have, and you are so confident that you can use these patents to defeat a business genius, you know, if you do it properly, a business genius can use one million, and the wealth that can be gathered in three months is definitely beyond your imagination." ”

"But you have to know that a good patent has a market value beyond imagination." Xiao Yuan was indeed not worried at all, and retorted with a relaxed expression.

"Do you really have the technology?" Seeing Xiao Yuan's relaxed expression, Rubin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked curiously, "Can you reveal what kind of technology it is first?" ”

Xiao Yuan didn't deliberately hide it, in order to give Rubin some confidence and let him try his best to help himself, so he chose two from the inventory in his mind and said it simply, he said it easily, but Rubin listened like a shock, and was stunned for a long time after he finished speaking, before he sighed: "If there is really such a technology patent as a reserve, I can draw conclusions now, you will win this game, and I can foresee that once your patent is made public, what kind of great changes will it bring to the world!" ”
