179 Virtuous Circle
Lin Zhenhua's remarks made the entire conference room fall silent.
Chinese's understanding of foreign countries has undergone a very dramatic change. Before the reform and opening up, the media advertised how ugly the capitalist world was and how the capitalists were greedy, leaving people with a sense of darkness in the international market. After the country opened, everyone found that the foreign businessmen in the business field were all gentle and elegant, whether they were negotiating or signing contracts, they were all in order, and they were all lawful, giving people a very rule-oriented and civilized feeling.
Out of a kind of rebellion against the one-sided propaganda of the past, people immediately went from one extreme to the other, thinking that Western countries are just flowers, often saying "how people are in foreign countries", and even the moon has become more round when it goes to foreign countries, and in terminology, the radius of curvature is equal everywhere.
The situation that Lin Zhenhua said gave everyone a wake-up call, making them notice that foreign businessmen may also harbor a black heart under the coat of the crown. When doing business with foreign businessmen, you must not be wary.
"Comrades, these situations mentioned by Comrade Kobayashi are worth pondering." Gao Zuxing said solemnly, "The issue of the protection of our traditional crafts needs to be raised immediately. In addition, after the provinces and cities go back, they should carry out a comprehensive screening to see how many technologies we have that are ahead of the international advanced level, and for these technologies, we must carry out comprehensive protection to avoid the loss of our patented technologies. ”
"However, we don't know much about patents, can the ministry give us some guidance in this regard?" Sun Pansheng said.
Gao Zuxing said: "This problem, the ministry will make arrangements quickly, before that, you should learn from Comrade Xiaolin, take the initiative to learn relevant knowledge, don't always wait for the ministry to solve the problem for you." ”
Lin Zhenhua asked: "So, Minister Gao, can you agree to what I just said?" ”
Gao Zuxing nodded: "I don't count this question alone." I can promise you a part of it, though. In this way, Lao Hua, this year, you will first allocate 500,000 US dollars to Comrade Xiaolin from the income of the patent fee of the five-blade fan, so that he can establish this fund first, at the very least, to ensure the maintenance funds of the five-blade fan patent first, and you can no longer let the Hong Kong lawyer advance money. ”
Hua Keqin promised: "No problem, we will implement this matter immediately." However, Minister Gao, the expenditure of this fund ......"
"I'll give you approval when I get back." Gao Zuxing said that he still has this power, after all, Lin Zhenhua can be regarded as a person who has made significant contributions.
Lin Zhenhua said: "Thank you Minister Gao, however, 500,000 yuan alone is far from enough, and I hope the ministry can still consider the rest of the part." ”
He Haifeng interjected: "Let me interject, Xiaolin's words just now have not yet been finished, and they were interrupted by us." I just asked Xiao Lin if this fund is a purely public welfare use, and Xiao Lin said yes and no, Xiao Lin has not finished explaining this question. ”
"Oh, yes, Kobayashi, you go on." Gao Zuxing said.
Lin Zhenhua nodded gratefully at He Haifeng and said, "Then I will follow Director He's instructions, and then finish my thoughts." My intention is that if the ministry agrees to give us the funds to set up a foundation, then I will use the funds to file patent applications for the units that need them. I have already talked to Mr. Qian Yuanping in Hong Kong, and if we can provide funds, he is willing to lead a group of patent attorneys to Guangzhou to set up a firm to assist mainland enterprises in handling patent matters. ”
"Okay, this matter must be done quickly, our patent protection is already an urgent matter." Gao Zuxing affirmed.
Lin Zhenhua continued: "However, if the affairs of patent protection are only done by our Hanhua Company, it will definitely not work, and we need everyone to work together." Otherwise, we are covered in iron, and how many nails can we make? ”
He Haifeng smiled and said to Gao Zuxing: "Minister Gao, Xiaolin, this is your army, shouldn't your ministry also come up with some money?" ”
Gao Zuxing said: "The ministry will definitely come up with some funds in the future, but these funds are estimated to be only used for the protection of some of the most critical traditional industries, and it is impossible to cover everything." I think that Kobayashi's patent foundation should still have some self-hematopoietic function. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "What Minister Gao said is extremely true. What I'm going to talk about next is about hematopoiesis. My plan is that if all the patents formed by receiving our funding receive patent royalties in the future, a certain percentage of the patent royalties will be returned to the foundation to supplement the lack of funds of the foundation. We then use the royalty royalties we receive to support more patents, creating a cycle of good surnames. ”
"I understand, you're trading patents, aren't you? You support patents, and then you use those patents to make money, and that's what you call the good surname cycle. Gao Zuxing concluded.
Yuan Wei said: "Manager Xiaolin, you are too shrewd. You spend a few thousand dollars to fund a patent, and you can get a share of those patents in the future. If you come across a good patent, you're a huge profit. ”
Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "If Manager Yuan is interested, he can join a share." ”
Yuan Wei waved his hand and said: "I don't have any money, if Minister Gao agrees to give us some foreign exchange to keep it, I can consider buying a share." However, I don't count this matter, and we have to discuss it collectively with the leaders of our company, alas, in short, our decision-making is indeed not as decisive as your Hanhua company. ”
Gao Zuxing and He Haifeng got together to discuss a few words, and Gao Zuxing said: "Comrade Xiaolin's idea is very bold and innovative. However, in terms of specific policies, I don't dare to make decisions on my own, and this needs to be determined after Director He and I return to Yanjing and consult the central leadership. ”
He Haifeng also said: "Comrade Xiaolin's idea is still very valuable, in general, if this idea can be realized, the foundation can truly achieve a good surname cycle, which can play a very good role in protecting China's patented technology and promoting the development of science and technology." But, as Minister Gao said, there are some policy-level issues involved here. Whether it is appropriate for a company to come forward to set up a foundation with a national surname is not something that Minister Gao and I can decide. ”
"However, Xiaolin, I can say the final say about your 500,000 expenses." Gao Zuxing pointed at Lin Zhenhua and said, "Regardless of whether your foundation can start it or not, you can register the registered patent first." ”
Of course, Lin Zhenhua didn't expect to be able to implement his ideas at this meeting, and he was overjoyed to get a promise of $500,000 from Gao Zuxing, and this time he could finally no longer use his own money to apply for a patent. Besides, the part of the money he has in Hong Kong is almost spent.
"Minister Gao, I still have one more thing I want to say, I don't know if it's suitable or not." Lin Zhenhua asked Gao Zuxing for instructions.
Gao Zuxing said with a smile: "If it's another problem for me, don't open your mouth, your previous request has already given me a headache." When will you be able to break this habit of giving people problems? ”
Lin Zhenhua also laughed, he shook his head and said: "Minister Gao, don't worry, this time it will definitely not be a problem for you, on the contrary, it is likely to be good news." ”
"Let's just say the good news, so that everyone will be happy." Gao Zuxing said.
Lin Zhenhua looked at everyone and said, "Colleagues, I would like to take this opportunity today to inform you of a piece of news. Our Hanhua company has recently developed a new type of washing machine product, in terms of technology, ahead of the existing washing machines in Europe and the United States, are you interested in producing together? ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they scrambled to shout:
"Manager Lin, we're interested!"
"Manager Lin, what we haven't said about our technical strength, leave it to us!"
"Manager Lin, how much royalty does it cost, just say it!"
“……”
I have to say that the five-blade fan launched by Lin Zhenhua last year completely convinced everyone. In the process of imitating five-blade fans, various manufacturers have experienced the technical content in the design, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. Now I heard that Lin Zhenhua was working on washing machines, and he threatened to be the world's leading technology, and everyone believed it in their hearts. If there really is a world-leading technology, then it is not easy to break into the international market? Who wants to stay out of such a good thing?
Lin Zhenhua's cooperation conditions, everyone can already guess, is nothing more than a patent royalty. Judging from the situation of the five-blade fan, the patent fee collected by Lin Zhenhua is indeed not very high. What's more, with Lin Zhenhua's habits, it is estimated that everyone will have to form a price alliance to avoid losses caused by internal price wars, and this kind of business is indeed very pleasant to do.
These companies here are all home appliance manufacturers, some of them produce washing machines, and some are considering the production of washing machines. As for the leaders of the foreign trade departments of the provinces, they are already thinking about which household appliance enterprises to participate in this extremely profitable cause.
Gao Zuxing and He Haifeng glanced at each other and smiled helplessly. They know that this Lin Zhenhua is making a name for himself again, and through this method of patent authorization, he has successfully tied many domestic home appliance manufacturers to his chariot. In the future, he only needs to continue to produce new technologies and let others produce them, and he just needs to collect patent fees.
This practice of using patents to support patents is very similar to the idea of the patent foundation that he just proposed, and it is not a matter that violates policy.
"This Xiaolin is indeed a talent, how long does his brain grow." Gao Zuxing whispered to He Haifeng.
He Haifeng added: "The most rare thing is that he is not only talented, but also highly conscious. I have to say that his motive for doing these things is still worth advocating, after all, it is to protect and develop our own industry. ”
"This kind of talent with both ability and political integrity must be well supported." Gao Zuxing said, "I'll discuss with Jiangnan Province another day to see if I can transfer him to the ministry." ”
He Haifeng said: "Don't be like this, I think that Xiaolin can play a better role by staying at the grassroots level than floating on it." ”
Gao Zuxing said: "This is also true, he has indeed done a very good job at the grassroots level. A small five-blade fan has stirred up the overall situation of our foreign trade front. ”
Lin Zhenhua didn't notice that the two big people around him were talking about him, he was busy answering questions from production enterprises in various provinces, nodding and smiling frequently to everyone. Everyone was complimenting him and said that they would invite him to go to their own unit.
In the whole venue, there was only one person whose face was always gloomy, and it was already cloudy as if it was going to rain, and he was Xu Liya, director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Slap in the face, it's really a merciless slap in the face. A small manager has actually become a star in the venue, and he, a dignified director from the capital, has been gorgeously ignored by everyone.
"Everyone, it's late, and you haven't eaten yet, right?" Lin Zhenhua took advantage of a gap and asked loudly.
Only then did everyone remember that they were still hungry, and they shouted:
"That's right, let's talk while eating, Manager Lin, enjoy your face, let's go to our Anhui group for dinner."
"How can this work, it must be going to our Xiangping Province, Manager Lin also likes spicy food."
"We are ...... in East Zhejiang Province"
Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Don't fight, today's meal, I must invite everyone." First, it was because I didn't do it properly, and it was troublesome for Minister Gao and Director He to fly from Yanjing thousands of miles away, and I want to set up a wine to apologize, please accompany you. Second, I'm the youngest among them, so I should invite you big brothers. Three...... Well, my assistant has already booked a seat at the restaurant, she is an authentic Cantonese native, and the Cantonese food she orders is also very authentic. ”
"Hehe, I agree." He Haifeng stood up and said, "Today's meal, I must let Xiao Lin pay for it, everything is because of him, is it okay if he doesn't make amends?" ”
"Okay, then Kobayashi, please." Gao Zuxing also made a decision.
He Haifeng and Gao Zuxing are both experienced people in officialdom, and they know that Lin Zhenhua has won this battle, and it is inevitable that there will be some mustard in the hearts of the people present. Let Lin Zhenhua make a gesture of apology, which can help him resolve some grievances, which is beneficial to Lin Zhenhua's future development.
The two main leaders spoke, and everyone was no longer able to fight, and everyone left the conference room in a noisy manner, chatting warmly and cordially, and marched to the restaurant. From the perspective of others, this cadre and others don't look like they have just quarreled-for-tat, and they think they are a harmonious group of partners.
However, it is also right to say that they have turned their hostilities into jade silk and are closely united in the home appliance price alliance headed by Lin Zhenhua.
"Alas, this Manager Lin is really good, take the money we paid, invite us to dinner, and we have to thank him. What the hell is this? Yuan Wei whispered to Sun Pansheng.
Then, he took two steps to catch up with Lin Zhenhua, who was walking in front of him, and said attentively: "Manager Lin, if you like seafood, you have the opportunity to visit our Dongzhejiang Province, and our seafood there is also very famous." ”
