Chapter 154: Stabbing each other

In later generations, many people criticized the problem of domestic cottages, but what they didn't know was that in the rise period of every great power, cottages were the only way to go.

It is true that they will value the patent protection system in their country. But they don't have any pressure on patents that belong to other countries. At one point, governments even encouraged such practices.

The Dawn of Innovation: America's First Industrial Revolution and author of American economics writer Charles Brown. Morris wrote, "If the United States in the 19th century had invented a magic telescope that could peek into British factories, they would have used it".

He is talking about the "copycat history" of the United States, when the newly established United States was particularly keen on "copycating" British textile technology, and Britain set various restrictions in order to strictly guard against it.

The early Anglo-American relationship was full of undercurrents, with Britain not only interfering in the United States politically but also economically restraining it, and the two countries were full of restrictions and anti-restrictions struggles. In order to prevent the leakage of industrial technology, the British government has even imposed a large number of restrictions on people moving to the United States.

For example, the restriction on the number of immigrants carried by ships, the explicit prohibition of artisans from immigrating to the Americas, and the severe ban on textile owners and skilled workers in particular, and later further extended to the offshore prohibition of workers in the steel and coal industries.

Even in order to stop the exodus of technology, the "Traveler Act" passed by the British Parliament in 1803 was more effective in preventing economically disadvantaged artisans and industrial workers from moving to the United States.

At the same time, the British rarely allowed foreigners to visit the local cotton processing equipment, and made the theft of the design of a steam loom a strict offense.

And the United States was also very direct at that time, and the president of the Philadelphia Manufacturing Association, who served as assistant secretary of the Treasury in the nineties of the 18th century. Cox set up a reward system to encourage the sale of technical secrets, and sent spies to England to steal machine blueprints.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and manufacturing owners are also doing everything possible to attract British workers, either by sending people to the UK to lobby or by placing job advertisements in British newspapers. He even secretly contacted these skilled workers and technicians for a time, promised all kinds of preferential treatment, and poached them to come to the United States by any means.

Soon. The United States' favourable treatment attracted a key figure. This person was later called "the father of the American textile industry" by the Americans, and Slater was scolded by the British as a "traitor".

Born in Derbyshire, the home of English textiles, Slater grew up as a child in the textile machine inventor Richard Brown, who revolutionized the British textile industry. Acwright's partners were apprenticed there and mastered the most advanced textile technology of the time. He learned from the newspaper that the United States was rewarding and funding the development of new textile machines, despite the fact that it had signed a contract to "faithfully guard trade secrets."

But he sneaked aboard a ship bound for Philadelphia, where he was financed to build a factory. More than 10 years after that. Similar factories were established in Massachusetts and other places, and by 1809 there were 50 cotton mills in New England and other places at the same time, and Slater and others built the first mechanical textile empire in the United States.

Former President of the United States, Andrew . Jackson later called Slater "the father of the American Industrial Revolution," but the British called him "Slater the Traitor."

Liang Sanping, who is well aware of these European and American histories, knows that it is pure nonsense that you expect British and American companies to play with you. Even if these people sign a contract, as long as the benefits are enough, it is only a matter of a moment to tear up the contract.

Of course, in modern times, many issues have been taken into account. Many things have shifted from the open side to the back. Or, come up with some so-called "rules" to restrain latecomers.

For example, international patent restrictions. There is also the most outrageous of all, the Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. The former forms a huge technical threshold for later countries, while the latter legitimizes what has been looted.

The most outrageous of all is of course the latter, where the Convention deliberately limits the retroactive period. To put it simply, after this age, what I robbed becomes legal. You have no right to recourse.

This question once appeared in the auction of rabbit heads and rat heads in the Old Summer Palace. Despite the all-out opposition of the Chinese side from the official to the private sector at that time, the French still carried out the auction with an indifferent attitude.

The French court even rejected the request of the Chinese lawyer group to cancel the auction. This caused a huge shock at the time. It even made the relationship between the two countries tense for a while.

In the end, Mr. Cai, a Chinese collector, responded to this shameless behavior by "auctioning but not buying". Some people think that this practice has undermined the credibility of the Chinese people as a whole. But many more take it for granted.

Do you have to tell the robber Tian what reputation you have when he shamelessly loots and auctions off your things?! Their credibility has long been lost to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

"Sanping, now you can tell what you are doing with me this time, right?!" Early the next morning, Liang Sanping rushed directly to Qiongzhoukou. After waiting for a whole day, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon to wait for Jiang Li's plane.

And arrived with Jiang Li. There are also four well-known barristers in Hong Kong. Coupled with the assistants of the three lawyers, a group of eight people was quickly picked up by Liang Sanping and sent to the guest house of Nongken in Qiongzhoukou.

"The new pesticides researched by the two institutes in South China have been targeted!" Liang Sanping was not hypocritical, and directly spread out with Jiang Li and said: "Japanese devil." They're eyeing it! ”

Several lawyers who were hired by Jiang Li looked at Liang Sanping a little strangely. They are still not used to calling the Japanese Japanese devils. Of course, the people of Xiangjiang have always called blonde and blue-eyed foreigners "ghosts".

"Yo~! What is it that makes them so obsessed?! Jiang Li asked Liang Sanping curiously, and the latter smiled at him: "Low toxicity and fast degradation, this will be the mainstream requirement of the pesticide market in the future." ”

"So far, by chance, we are the only ones who have this potion. The effect of this agent on vegetables was seen by the Japanese. That's why they thought about it......"

As soon as Liang Sanping's words were finished, Jiang Li had a concept in his mind. Quite simply, the Japanese are now squatting in Hortei. Vegetable items, they are the ones that need to be inspected. So it's not that hard to see the problem from that.

Before the conflict between Liang Sanping and the Japanese, Jiang Li also knew something. At that time, the Japanese side wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of signing the contract at the local level to pressure Liang Sanping to make concessions to them. Or procure their pesticides.

Of course, in terms of price, they will definitely slaughter Liang Sanping fiercely. It's a pity that Liang Sanping didn't pick up this stubble at all. At that time, Jiang Li also pinched Liang Sanping's sweat, but he didn't expect that the South China and South China hospitals would develop this medicine in a blink of an eye.

"In 1978, global pesticide consumption totalled $8.7 billion, and by 1979 that figure had increased to $9.8 billion. That's a 12.6% increase! The Japanese are tempted, and they should be. ”

Liang Sanping said to Jiang Li with a smile at this time: "It's me, and I'm also tempted." Win this project, even if you can't eat the entire market. But as long as you can eat 30%, and maintain it for ten years. Then the profit is also very impressive! ”

Jiang Li can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but Liang Sanping can't help but feel dizzy when he talks about the value of this market. The multi-billion dollar market every year is enough to make countless people rush to the top of the blood.

"Sanping...... Don't say it's them, even I'm tempted......" Seeing Jiang Li said with a wry smile. But Jiang Li said that he would not have any thoughts about it.

He knew that some money would kill people if they got their hands on it. Like him, the lawyers present thought the same. At the same time, they looked at Liang Sanping differently.

When they first came, they were still a little bit talking about how Jiang Li brought himself and the others to this place?! Indeed, from any point of view, Qiongdao does not feel that this is a place where patent applications may be filed.

But on the contrary, there is a demon like Liang Sanping here. If it weren't for the fact that these lawyers clearly knew Jiang Li's identity, and Jiang Li also introduced Liang Sanping's identity to them, they even thought that Liang Sanping was just bragging.

"Come on! This is the information of our patents, and I invite all lawyers to take a look. As he spoke, Liang Sanping smiled and took out a copy of the essay from his bag and handed it to the lawyers present.

"You must have worked hard to come here today, so let's rest in Qiongzhoukou today. Tomorrow, we will take you to visit Qiong Island again. But seeing Liang Sanping said with a smile: "It's rare to come to Qiongdao, it's a pity not to walk around." ”

Several lawyers were very professional, and they said that they would finish the matter at hand first. will travel, but it can't stand Liang Sanping's enthusiasm. I had to promise to go to Wenchang, not far from Qiongzhou Pass, to play for a day tomorrow.

But tonight, they're going to review the application overnight. In order to increase the rate of passing. Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard Liang Sanping's words. These barristers are also people with status and status in Xiangjiang.

If they have fun in Qiongdao, then it will be an excellent publicity for Qiongdao when they go back. At the same time, it can also promote Li Jiacheng's consideration of Qiongdao's tourism development.

After all, the expedition is just an investigation, and the statement that someone went and came back after a lap is completely different. At least as a good reference.

At this time, Oshima walked into the office building of the provincial party committee in northern Guangdong Province with great ambition. What he wants to meet today is an important person in northern Guangdong Province. Of course, he can't see the bigwigs in northern Guangdong.

What he was able to meet was the people of the Zhaoshang Group, which is now extremely active in northern Guangdong. This enterprise, founded by Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, was most active in northern Guangdong at this time. (To be continued......)
