Chapter 79 Intellectual Property

"Xiao Zhou, could you please ask Mr. Cliff, if we need to improve the computing speed of this computer system in the future, or if we want to expand the application functions in other aspects, do we need to purchase a new set of system software for this computer?" A middle-aged man with glasses on the other side asked.

"No, this one!" Zhou Jianhua replied immediately without thinking about it:

"Embison spent a lot of money more than ten years ago to hire thousands of scientific and technological personnel, before and after spending several years, for this computer to create a set of unique, highly compatible system software, this system software can be directly applied to the series of computers in a variety of high or low configuration computers, no matter how you upgrade for it, the original system software is perfectly compatible, no need to purchase new system software."

"Xiao Zhou, since this series of computers can be compatible up and down, if we buy a set of subsequent models of hosts in the future, then, in addition to the host can be compatible, can other external devices also be compatible with each other?" Someone next to him asked.

"Yes! You're absolutely right, not only the hosts are compatible with each other, but all external devices are also compatible, and there is no problem with this! Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile and nodded.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm a little confused! - Mr. Cliff told us that you were his translator, but how do I think you are more than just his translator now? The old leader who had asked Zhou Jianhua about his origin suddenly questioned Zhou Jianhua at this time:

"All of our questions to Mr. Cliff, you answered us without consulting him, and I would love to know him. You act as a temporary translator for Mr. Cliff. Do your words speak for Cliff himself? Does your statement represent the attitude of the company? ”

"Uh...... I can make sure that my answer is correct. If there is anything I am not sure about, I will naturally ask Mr. Cliff for advice, and don't forget, I am a Chinese, and I must be responsible for my own words for such a major matter. Zhou Jianhua said with a faint smile:

"If you can't believe me, I can just translate Mr. Cliff, but I'm sure Mr. Cliff won't give you as much information and advice as I do. If you don't believe us, I'll pass on a few of your questions to Mr. Cliff, and we'll see what he has to say. ”

After Zhou Jianhua finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Cliff in English:

"Mr. Cliff, you have given them information that the computer's system software can support multiple programs, up to 15 programs at the same time, and they are curious to know how this is achieved, can you give them an explanation?"

"Oh! This is a technical question that I am not very comfortable to answer – there is an intellectual property issue involved. After all, our intention is only to provide products and services, and we do not intend to transfer technology. This is the principle of our company. Of course, we will definitely try our best to provide technical services related to product sales. Cliff thought for a moment, then replied with a careful word:

"At present, all the technical content that can be provided for you has been reflected in the product solution provided by our company's technical department for you, if you do not understand this program, I can provide corresponding explanations and explanations, but beyond this scope of technical content...... Well, I'm just a business person and not a technician, so I'm afraid it's hard to provide more answers that will satisfy you. If we can successfully sign the sales contract and fulfill the relevant terms and obligations, our technical staff will provide you with more detailed and professional technical advice. ”

After listening to Cliff's answer, Zhou Jianhua smiled slightly, and said in his heart that it was as expected! The company now basically monopolizes the mainframe market in the world, and it is very bullish! They knew that Sino-Soviet relations were still tense, and the Soviets would not provide computers to China, not to mention that at this time, the Soviet mainframe was also an imitation of the Inbison machine, which was not much better.

Zhou Jianhua then looked at the female translator sitting on the other side of Cliff and asked with a smile:

"Hehe, this eldest sister, may I ask your surname?"

"Ah...... My surname is Liu ......," the female translator looked at Zhou Jianhua in surprise and replied sneeringly.

"Hehe, Sister Liu, could you please tell you what Mr. Cliff said just now?" Zhou Jianhua smiled and said:

"I'm a translator of techniques, and Mr. Cliff didn't seem to talk about specific techniques just now, hehe."

"Oh...... It's not a matter of technique, you can translate it too! Translator Liu suddenly understood what Zhou Jianhua meant, pursed his lips and retorted with a smile, and said in his heart, I won't give you a head!

"Hehe, Sister Liu, it's not that I don't translate, you can also see it, the leaders here can't trust me, there's no way! Now I have to ask you to give an explanation, otherwise I will talk here alone, and they won't believe it! Zhou Jianhua said helplessly.

"Xiao Liu, you can translate it, we have to hurry up......" The old leader saw that the two of them were shirking, so he said impatiently, what kind of ghost are you two doing!

Translator Liu had no choice but to translate the large passage that Cliff had just said to everyone, and after listening to Cliff's reply, the conference room instantly fell silent, and it was really audible on the ground.

Zhou Jianhua silently glanced around, and saw that all these people present were frowning and depressed, silently looking at the information at hand and bowing their heads silently, and the old leader was also angry at Cliff's words but had nothing to say.

Zhou Jianhua didn't care so much, and continued to ask Cliff to ask the second question:

"Mr. Cliff, they said that foreign exchange is tight right now, and according to the plan you provided them, they can make a flexible combination of the host and external equipment to get the right match, right?"

"Yes! However, the model recommended by our company's technical department is selected according to the characteristics of your use, if you must choose the lower level of the series, you can also do it, if there is any problem in the future. You are responsible for the consequences. Cliff responded.

Zhou Jianhua asked Cliff five or six questions in a row. Cliff answered or explained one by one. Either the answer is very simple and people know what it is, but they don't know why, or they don't talk about it in detail under the pretext of intellectual property. Obviously, Zhou Jianhua's previous answer is not different from Cliff's current reply, and it is more detailed and detailed than Cliff's answer.

So, after a short silence, these people here asked Zhou Jianhua directly when they asked about the technique, and they would never add a sentence such as "Mr. Cliff, please" to the question. Zhou Jianhua explained to everyone as detailed and detailed as possible every time he knew about the situation, and when it came to issues other than product technology, Zhou Jianhua translated to Cliff every time and translated it to everyone according to Cliff's answer.

In the following time, everyone communicated very smoothly, without a little blockage, it turned out that those things that thought it would take several days to communicate were almost talked about in just one morning, and everyone present showed a relaxed look, and occasionally someone would make a joke or two.

Near noon, according to the usual practice, Nandu Pump Factory held a banquet in the hotel to entertain Cliff and all the other leaders and technical personnel present at the meeting. Several leaders whispered after a while. Li Yongping, assistant to the director of the pump factory, asked Liu Yi and several technicians to accompany Cliff to the Changhe van of the pump factory, but let Zhou Jianhua and several leaders ride in another van.

As soon as you get in the car. Li Yongping introduced all the leaders present to Zhou Jianhua. The 50-year-old leader was Ma Kui, deputy director of the Provincial Planning Commission, and Yu Zhongnian, deputy director of the Provincial Economic Commission, Wang Liguo, deputy director of the Provincial Foreign Trade Department, Luo Yongnian, deputy director of the Provincial Machinery Industry Department, and Ren Zhongfa, director of the Nandu Machinery and Pump Factory. Zhou Jianhua had to greet him humbly one by one, and all the leaders nodded with a smile and frequently said yes.

Then, it was Ma Kui who opened his mouth first: "Xiao Zhou, have you worked?" ”

"Uh...... I'm working as a temporary worker. Zhou Jianhua thought about it and replied.

"Temps?!" Several people exclaimed, this was something that several leaders never expected, they all thought that Zhou Jianhua was a student at a certain university in the provincial capital.

"Yes, I'm still a temporary worker." Zhou Jianhua replied:

"However, I am already applying for a self-employed business license, and I will soon be able to have a stable job."

"Oh...... You don't seem to be very old, why don't you study? Ma Kui continued.

"Uh...... My family is poor, I have to earn money to support my family! Hehe......" Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile.

"Oh, then what do you plan to do as a self-employed person?" Ma Kui asked again.

"I'm going to start a mechatronic equipment service department." Zhou Jianhua replied:

"At present, the initial thing to do is motor maintenance, electric equipment transformation, electrical equipment maintenance, etc., well, it won't be long before I have to make a radio communication system for the Xinchun City Public Security Department."

After listening to Zhou Jianhua's words, several leaders looked at each other in shock, all thinking about the origin of this young man in front of them, and why there were so many incomprehensible and unimaginable things in him! For a moment, no one in the car spoke anymore, and it seemed that everyone was giving themselves some time to get used to the strange person in front of them.

"Xiao Zhou, you know so many skills, it's not easy! I feel that you are very familiar with computers, where did you learn these skills? Yu Zhongnian, deputy director of the Provincial Economic Commission, asked at this time.

"This ...... Alas, it's a long story...... I mostly rely on self-study. Zhou Jianhua replied lightly.

"Self-study ......" the leaders let out a few more exclamations.

"And how did you learn your computer literacy?" Luo Yongnian, deputy director of the Provincial Machinery Industry Department, couldn't help but ask.

"Uh......" Zhou Jianhua was shocked, and he was entangled for a while, and said in his heart, this time he was going to be in trouble! (To be continued......)
