Chapter 159: Want to Fight Me?
"Really? Huaguo really has a strong sense of patenting...... Worker? Hehe, I don't believe it. Bridget covered her mouth and snickered quietly: "Isn't that red Eastern GC country known as GC everything, and will it really have patent awareness?" If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that someone from China has come to us to apply for a patent in his own name, right? ”
"Yes." Alden did not refute Bridget's prejudice about this matter, because he only felt that it was necessary to take the patent to the Swiss Patent Office after talking to Consul Hartz on the phone at the time, rather than asking it to be registered with the ** Patent Office or the MD Patent Office, and that's it.
As footsteps outside sounded, six Oriental faces entered the conference room, and Alden and Bridget immediately put away the smiles they had just put away and put on the most serious posture, like the pure bronze sculpture at the entrance of the Bern branch office, so that it was impossible to see what was going on in their heads.
There was even a little joke in the self-introduction after the opening, because Alden and Bridget both subconsciously thought that Director Ye Xing, who looked the second youngest, was the young Chinese worker who applied for a patent.
After introducing themselves, the two sides naturally entered the globally recognized greeting session, after all, it is definitely not possible to talk about business as soon as it comes up, at least it is necessary to understand each other's temper a little bit through the previous pull, so as to be targeted, not to mention that the short meeting held in the Geneva branch itself is a welcome type of discussion, without too much involvement in the patent itself.
After ten minutes of testing, Alden felt that the deputy director of the team named Lu Xudong on the other side seemed to be no different from the image of the leading cadres of the Chinese country that he had heard from the embassy staff.
The voice is not loud, and it appears gentle and elegant; Even the welcome symposium will take out a notebook to take notes; There is obviously not enough knowledge of the professional issues, or rather the process of applying for a patent before the Swiss Patent Office should be ...... It is normal to be very ignorant, with the prudence and caution peculiar to Orientals, and to reveal a hint of envy for their Western countries.
The rest of the directors almost didn't speak, except for the self-introduction session, which knew that Deputy Director Ye Xing was a young cadre from the Ministry of Industry of the other country, and the rest seemed to have nothing to be interested in.
But this symposium will last for an hour and a half, so you can't always introduce the human history of Switzerland, right?
So Alden gave Bridget next to her a look and motioned for her to play a little.
The female director had obviously been preparing for a long time, and she was unwilling to be a vase, so she immediately took over the topic and asked: "Although the main purpose of your delegation is to apply for patents, if you have free time, you can also pay more attention to some fertilizer patents that our patent office is selling, such as the production formula of a new generation of ammonium bicarbonate...... This will benefit the farmers of your country a lot. ”
Because the other party was speaking officially for the first time as a woman, Lu Xudong immediately glanced at Miao Lirong, the director of the equipment department on his side, and the woman immediately began to introduce after listening to the translation: "Director Bridget, the penetration rate of the equipment production line for the production of ammonium bicarbonate in Tianhe Province is still very low, only a few large fertilizer factories in the provincial capital have them, and the allocation rate of the province is less than 10%, although in the long run, the proportion of ammonium bicarbonate with higher efficiency in nitrogen fertilizer is slowly increasing. Catch up with urea, but in the short term, the demand for such patents in our province is not large. ”
It is worthy of being the director of the equipment department, who has these data at his fingertips, and this answer is decent, and it is also combined with the current reality of Tianhe Province, which can be regarded as a polite rejection of the other party's promotion.
"Then your province's vision is relatively short-sighted." Bridget immediately seized the opportunity to start making a move: "Since you can all realize that urea will eventually be replaced by ammonium bicarbonate in the short term, why can't you plan ahead of time?" If you have a more efficient ammonium bicarbonate production recipe at the beginning, I believe that this will further alleviate the food shortage in your country, and our patent office will have a certain discount on the first purchase of this piece......"
After Wu Xiaoping translated this passage, Miao Lirong's face couldn't help but become a little ugly.
This woman is too straightforward!
What do you mean by "your province is relatively short-sighted"? Who wouldn't want to launch a new ammonium bicarbonate production line? But this requires a lot of foreign exchange, a lot of it!
Compared with the fertilizer industry, which can only be regarded as a little brother in heavy industry, the country's guiding ideology is to focus on giving priority to the development of steelmaking, petroleum, metallurgy and energy industries.
Because the welcome symposium is an open meeting, not a one-on-one fixed-point Q&A, just when Miao Lirong was still thinking about how to reasonably refute the other party's point of view and be more tactful, Zhong Bai, who had been silent next to him, spoke.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Your point of view was wrong from the start, who said that urea would eventually be replaced by ammonium bicarbonate? The existence of urea has its rationality, cheap cost and wide applicability is its natural advantage, not to mention the short term, that is, in another 30 years, the share of the global nitrogen fertilizer market, will still be the first proportion of urea. Zhong Bai retorted in fluent High German: "Come up and sell us this kind of unrealistic patent, do you think that we Chinese people make easy money?" ”
This...... Is this the patent applicant?
Hell, how can he speak German so fluently, exactly as the West Germans and the Swiss speak, and he doesn't even have the vocabulary of the GC country of East Germany!
The point is, this kid also denied his own point of view!
"Isn't that the case based on current trends? The share of ammonium bicarbonate in global nitrogen fertilizer production has risen rapidly in recent years, which is a very obvious trend! Also, what is an impractical patent? Didn't the female director just say that your province already has a small amount of ammonium bicarbonate production lines? Bridget froze for a moment, and then immediately began to fire back at Zhong Bai with heavy artillery fire.
However, this level of rebuttal sounded to Zhong Bai no different from the playhouse, and he directly took out the numbers to speak: "Why don't we improve the efficiency of the 90% urea production line, but improve the efficiency of the 10% ammonium bicarbonate production line?" Do you think that our country, like yours, already has a 25% share of nitrogen fertilizer production for ammonium bicarbonate? Oh no...... Even in your country, this figure is only 25%, and if it is really necessary, why is this patent not selling particularly well in Europe? ”
Bridget was dumbfounded!
It is true that she is the director of the patent office, and she is also involved in various industrial patents, but when it comes to the specific data of a certain sub-industry, she really does not know.
As soon as Zhong Bai opened his mouth, he not only clearly stated his point of view, but even cited Swiss and European data to support it, and this passage was immediately refuted so that Bridget couldn't open his mouth!
Facing the other party's stunned gaze, Zhong Bai shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart: Want to line up with me? Sorry, you don't have enough to see.
