After returning to Japan, Downing first went to Okinawa and Kokura as usual, and found that everything was going smoothly and there were no problems before coming to Tokyo, but as soon as he arrived in Tokyo, Matsuda Yoshiko brought him a good news that made him extremely excited.

An engineer named Yabuki Shinzo found Matsuda Yoshiko, intending to ask Matsuda Yoshiko to introduce Downing and want to sell a design patent right, due to the warning of Downing in the patent monopoly incident of instant noodles some time ago, now companies have begun to increase the importance of patent rights, but unfortunately the direction of their attention has deviated.

This Yabuki Shinzo designer was originally working at Toshiba, this product was developed by him alone, he thought it was a great invention, so he applied for a patent himself, and then planned to sell the patent to Toshiba, but Toshiba was angered by Yabuki's behavior, thinking that Yabuki was a design completed when he was working in the company, so the patent should belong to the company, and the two sides did not back down, Yabuki resigned in anger and left Toshiba with the design drawings and patent rights.

Toshiba, with its strong influence in the industry, plans to ban Yabuki in the industry, in order to force him to bow to the company, and use this as an example to warn other employees that this kind of incident will not occur again in the future.

Sure enough, after resigning, Yabuki found that no company was willing to cooperate with him, and in the end, in desperation, he thought of Downing, an American businessman, in fact, it is not that Toshiba is really strong enough to influence the decisions of all companies in the industry, mainly because Yabuki's design was not invented first, but improved on the original product, and the repercussions of the improved product in the market were extremely bad, so now no one has the confidence to invest in this area.

In fact, Matsuda Yoshiko didn't pay much attention to this Yabuki at first, but casually mentioned it when chatting with Tang Ning after the passion, but Tang Ning became interested when he heard Yabuki's design, took a look at the design drawing, and immediately laughed. Summoned Yabuki overnight for a consultation.

The reason why Downing is so excited and anxious is because he knows that Yabuki's design will definitely make a lot of money for himself in the future, and this kind of thing is not worth it to the Japanese, but he, who came here in 2015, knows it too well. Because the Yabuki design has improved a household appliance that will be indispensable for every family in the future, the rice cooker!

In fact, as early as a few years ago, that is, around 194849, Downing's old rival Mitsubishi Company developed the first rice cooker, but this rice cooker was really unsuccessful and impractical, not so much a rice cooker. Rather, it was a pot with an electric heating device, which was unsuccessful due to its lack of automaticity and the need for real-time care. Later, Panasonic and Sony also developed similar pots, but they were unsuccessful.

Therefore, when many companies in the industry heard that Yabuki designed a rice cooker, their first reaction was to refuse, after all, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Sony and other large companies designed it were not successful, and the market did not accept it, how could a similar thing made by a small designer sell well in the market, plus you have to risk offending Toshiba to receive it, it is really not worth it. So Yabuki hit a wall again and again.

Although the design of Yabuki still has many shortcomings from the mature rice cooker in later generations, one of the settings has reflected the most important function of the rice cooker, that is, the "timing principle", in fact, Yabuki's "timing principle" is very simple, that is, add water to the outer pot to control the heating time, when the water in the outer pot evaporates, it stops heating, and the rice in the inner pot is also cooked into rice.

Although the principle is very simple and the setting is very immature, this design solves the confusion that Downing has always had, in fact, when Mitsubishi made the first rice cooker. Tang Ning knew what to improve based on the experience of later generations, but the problem was that he was just a small accountant in his previous life, how could he know how to do this kind of thing, so he only knew the direction but did not know how to do it. Later, as soon as there were many things, he forgot about it.

Now seeing Yabuki's design, Tangning feels that another monopoly project of his own is about to appear, so he summons Yabuki overnight to negotiate, but his action is stopped in time by the smart and calm Matsuda Yoshiko.

Yoshiko Matsuda pulled Tang Ning back on the bed and said, "Boss, although I don't know why you value this design so much. But no matter how much you attach importance to it, you can't reflect it to let this Yabuki know, especially at this time, you must not go to him, otherwise once he knows how much you value, he will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price, and even think that his things are strange and livable, so it will be more troublesome for us to buy, it is better for us to put on a shelf tomorrow, and show it reluctantly before accepting it, so that not only does it cost less, but he also has to be grateful to us, so how good it is to have the best of both worlds! ”

In fact, Tang Ning himself is also an extremely calm person, but he was a little too excited when he thought of the broad market prospects of rice cookers, and forgot to think about these things for a while, and now he was reminded by Matsuda Yoshiko, and immediately reacted, holding Matsuda Yoshiko's hot body, kissed her heavily on the neck, and praised: "It's still our family Fangzi is smart, what you said makes sense, you can't go to him at this time." ”

Matsuda Yoshiko said coquettishly: "Since people are so smart, boss, shouldn't you reward people well?" As he spoke, he used his small hands to gently rub Tang Ning's vital parts.

Tang Ning, who was already in a good mood because of the rice cooker, was so stimulated by Matsuda Yoshiko's little hand at the moment, and suddenly became proud, picked up Matsuda Yoshiko horizontally, and walked towards the big bed, while smiling evilly: "Hehe, the boss will reward you well in a while, I haven't seen you for half a month, you little gluttonous cat is a lot!" (This scale should be fine, right?) ）

Speaking of which, Downing himself felt strange, and he didn't know if Tony Downing, an American, had too special physical fitness, or if he was affected by the crossing, he had been unhappy almost every night over the years, and he often had one enemy two, three enemies or even more, but his body had not been affected, and the results of each physical examination were very healthy! And what's even more strange is that he obviously didn't do anything, but it's been almost five years, and none of his women are pregnant, although Tang Ning is not in a hurry to have a child, but this kind of thing is always not normal! (To be continued.) )
