Chapter 183: Shocking the President
"Deep cooperation? I want to hear about it! Li Nanxin couldn't help but be moved when she heard this word, and immediately stood up and took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Zhong Bai, pretending to be listening carefully.
"That's right, although this patent is registered in my own name, the collection of patent royalties for the transfer of the 3702 patent is through the Swiss Patent Office as an intermediary, and then remitted to the relevant account of the Ministry of Industry of China......"
"As we all know, the Swiss Patent Office is known for its secrecy, but it is not well publicized to the outside world......
"As for the matter of registering individual patents in foreign countries, there is no relevant case reference in China, and the department is very cautious in dealing with it, and there is no plan for external publicity, which will lead to the ......slow collection of patent fees."
"But if you cooperate with your company, through your "Oriental Times" will be the advantages of the 3702 patent publicity, you can quickly gather attention, let everyone pay attention to this fertilizer industry, a relatively unpopular industry in the new patented technology, and this technology is indeed very effective, it can not only improve the efficiency of fertilizer plants in western developed countries to produce urea, fertilizer plants in Asia, Africa and Latin America and other third world countries are also effective, soon can bring a lot of foreign exchange to our country, will also bring me some personal benefits, of course, For your company, naturally you will not be allowed to contribute in vain, and there will be relevant publicity fees to be paid to you legally, I wonder if President Li has the will to cooperate? ”
Zhong Bai unhurriedly laid out all his ideas, and Li Nanxin was stunned for two minutes without speaking!
"What, does President Li have any doubts about this cooperation?" Zhong Bai couldn't help but ask.
This sentence pulled Li Nanxin, who was in shock, back from the state of soul wandering, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, I have no doubts, but ...... It's this collaboration, it's so innovative! I...... I've been in the newspaper business for 15 years, and I've never heard of a newspaper advertising patents! And there is also a publicity fee! What puzzled me was ...... How exactly should this work? Also, is this in line with the regulations of Switzerland and China? Will there be any trouble? ”
Zhong Bai smiled slightly, his heart was really similar to what I guessed, and the media industry was still very conservative in this era about whether patented technology should be promoted.
Not to mention that the world is still in a state of cold war and shrouded in thinking, let's talk about the patent itself, which is quite professional, and ordinary print news media such as the "Oriental Times" have never been exposed to such things as using the newspaper itself to publicize patents.
It can even be said that not only the "Oriental Times", but even those old newspapers that are famous all over the world and have been in the West for many years, such as "The Wall Street Journal", "The New York Times", "The Mirror" and other media, did not have a precedent for publicizing patents in the era of 1981.
That's because of the specificity of the patent itself!
Think about it, which individual patent that can be successfully applied for at the Swiss Patent Office is not the latest invention and has great scientific significance?
According to today's common thinking, this kind of good thing is considered a trade secret, for the patent owner, but all related companies and business groups that are not in the industry are not the target of patent application, naturally there is no need to do this kind of publicity, not to mention that the traditional media has no precedent for commercial publicity of individual patents at all, so that the natural patent owner will not take the initiative to contact traditional media such as newspapers for advertising.
Zhong Bai knew very well that it was not until the global 90s, when the Cold War ended after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that business thinking in this area slowly became active, and the phenomenon of patents advertised in newspapers was gradually accepted by the world, and even became one of the main sources of patent fee income.
Of course, after the 21st century, dense online propaganda has replaced traditional media propaganda, which is a later story.
However, at the end of 1981, Zhong Bai dared to put forward such an idea, which naturally shocked Li Xinnan, the non-crossing newspaper director!
In the face of her question, Zhong Bai naturally patiently explained: "Of course, this will not violate any regulations of Switzerland and China, in addition to the Swiss Patent Office, I personally also have the right to publicize the 3702 patent, which is clearly written in black and white in the newspaper, and the Swiss Patent Office I have said before that their fixed thinking over the years determines that the patent office will not put much effort into external publicity, and will still only carry out small-scale publicity at some global patent conferences, which is too slow. That's why I found you. If you're not convinced, you can call the Swiss Patent Office first. As for China, not to mention, as I said, patent No. 3702 is the first patent registered in the name of an individual in a foreign patent office in China, and there is no relevant experience and regulations, so how can it be said to be violated? ”
"Wait, I'll call the Swiss Patent Office right away and ask!" Seeing that Zhong Bai said it so clearly, Li Nanxin couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and immediately rushed out of the office!
As long as she gets an affirmative answer from the Swiss Patent Office, she certainly knows how significant this cooperation is!
She didn't even have time to ask Zhong Bai in detail, if the two sides can really cooperate, then how to cooperate and what the details should be, because she knows very well that with Zhong Bai's understanding and understanding of the patent and print media industry just now, this young man has shown far-sightedness and advanced thinking that is extremely incommensurate with his age, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, then what if Zhong Bai goes to find other newspapers? You can't just watch such a good opportunity slip out of your nose, can you?
Ten minutes later, Zhong Bai was still slowly drinking hot tea in the office, but Li Nanxin hurriedly broke into the door again.
"No problem! I just called the Swiss Patent Office and they confirmed that you personally have the right to publicize! We can work together! Please tell me the details of the cooperation now! Li Nanxin's tone revealed an irrepressible cheerfulness, and asked Zhong Bai.
Without saying a word, Zhong Bai picked up the pen on the table and the A4 white paper on which he had not written, and began to draft the terms directly.
This President Li Nanxin, although he is not the president of "Eurasian Times" Lin Ailian, who he was familiar with in his previous life, but the other party's capable and decisive work style is undoubtedly revealed from the details just now, Zhong Bai naturally does not need to verbally describe anything to the other party, and simply drafts the terms directly, which is more time-saving.
I saw Zhong Bai writing on a white piece of paper......
