Chapter 182: Initiating an in-depth cooperation
The Swiss Patent Office is the strongest patent office of its kind in the world in terms of confidentiality, so relatively speaking, their publicity to the outside world is somewhat insufficient compared to confidentiality.
This is due to the nature of the country itself, which has gained a valuable neutral status since the Second World War thanks to its powerful mercenary corps, but it also means that they keep a low profile in everything they do.
It is conceivable that if no special measures are taken, the speed of the 3702 patent promotion around the world should be unhurried, which means that the speed at which the Swiss Patent Office obtains commissions may be a bit slow for Alden.
And the "Oriental Times" that Zhong Bai is going to at the moment happens to be a good tool for the 3702 patent to be publicized!
The Swiss Patent Office doesn't hype it up, but Zhongbai can! Because he is the inventor of the 3702 patent!
As long as he finds a way to get the "Oriental Times" to publicize this matter "a little" in Europe and MD technology, Zhong Bai can trust that the Swiss Patent Office will be able to get a much higher commission than before.
This matter will inevitably become the result of Deputy Director Alden's work, and under such circumstances, it will become a matter of course for Zhong Bai to ask the Swiss Patent Office to pay a "reasonable" publicity fee through the "Oriental Times".
However, this does not mean that Zhong Bai bypassed the state to seek his own personal interests, but because the current situation is special, if he intercepts a part of the established foreign exchange income and keeps it for his own use, it is against the regulations.
However, Zhong Bai's approach is wonderful in that this is a special kind of "open source", and it is to leave a part of it for himself to buy tools before the new more benefits generated after the open source have not entered the foreign exchange income account of the Ministry of Industry, which perfectly deals with the problem of personal use of foreign exchange to buy IBM electronic computers.
Walking into the newspaper office, Zhong Bai came to the large office on the second floor, which was the time when the newspaper was busy, because tomorrow was the publication day of the weekly newspaper, and many editors and staff were busy working on the desks today.
Yellow-skinned faces are rare in Switzerland, but they are not uncommon here, as more than 80% of the staff are Chinese, so although Zhong Bai is a stranger and is visiting the Oriental Times newspaper for the first time, he does not feel any discomfort.
Even the vast majority of the staff were unaware of his presence!
After Zhong Bai silently walked around the office with his hands behind his back, an editor finally saw that this young man was a little embarrassed, so he stood up and stopped him, and asked, "This friend, ...... are you?" ”
Unlike in China, overseas Chinese here generally do not call "comrade" when they meet, but this "friend" made Zhong Bai have some familiarity in his previous life, and immediately smiled and asked the editor: "Hello, my name is Zhong Bai, I came to Switzerland from China on a business trip two days ago, and now I want to talk to the president of your newspaper about something, can you take me to his office?" ”
Seeing Zhong Bai's unhurried answer and calm expression, the editor felt a little surprised, because Zhong Bai said that he was from China, why didn't he talk like it?
But the editor still subconsciously replied: "Do you have anything to do with our president?" He's busy, and if it's a small thing that needs to be reported, just talk to our editor-in-chief in the editorial office, and the editor-in-chief is ......"
Zhong Bai immediately interrupted the other party's words: "No, it's not a trivial matter. It's both material for an important story and a good thing about your newspaper's vital interests, so I have to talk to your president. ”
"That's it......" Seeing that Zhong Bai's tone didn't seem to be fake, the editor immediately paid attention to it: "Okay, then you wait here, I'll go and report to the president immediately!" ”
Just before he was about to leave, he was pulled by Zhong Bai and asked, "Wait, may I ask if the president of your newspaper is surnamed Lin?" ”
"Not surnamed Lin, our president's surname is Li." The editor asked, somewhat strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, then you go and report it, I'll wait here."
"Okay."
In less than five minutes, Zhong Bai met the current president of the "Oriental Times" in the president's office, Ms. Li Nanxin.
"Hello, President Li." As soon as Zhong Bai met, he found the puzzled look on the other party's face, and took the initiative to introduce it straight to the point: "My name is Zhong Bai, and I am a member of the delegation sent to the Swiss Patent Office by the Industrial Department of Tianhe Province of Huaguo......
Zhong Bai did not hesitate to describe the general content of the entire low-key water reduction patent and its future good application prospects in the global fertilizer industry to President Li Nanxin in simple language, and finally asked: "...... The 3702 patent has been successfully registered with the Swiss Patent Office and is about to launch a global promotion campaign, you should not know about this matter, right? ”
"This ...... We really don't know about it. As a president, Li Nanxin's sensitivity to various information reports is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and when she heard Zhong Bai say this, she immediately became a little excited, but she still seemed a little puzzled: "Xiao Zhong, such a powerful technical invention, why didn't we get news from the embassy?" ”
As a professional media person, Li Nanxin was not carried away by Zhong Bai's great news, but first verified the authenticity of the information, which is also the most basic quality of the news reporting industry, Zhong Bai nodded secretly after hearing it, and immediately explained: "That's the case, if I'm not mistaken, the 3702 patent should be the first individual patent in China that has been successfully registered in a foreign patent office in the name of an individual, and there are many details of the processing in the middle. The embassy was also cautious, so I didn't release the news as soon as possible, but I am the owner of this patent, so I naturally have all the rights to publicize it, so I immediately thought of coming to our only Chinese-language newspaper in Switzerland, "Oriental Times", to ask for a meeting. ”
As Zhong Bai spoke, he took out a copy of the patent registration certificate directly from his bag and put it on Li Nanxin's desk, and said no more, motioning the other party to read it himself.
Sure enough, Li Nanxin took it and immediately looked at it carefully, and after ten minutes, a smile finally appeared on her face, closed the registration form, and asked with a smile: "This is really good news that has never been seen before!" Xiao Zhong, tell me what is your intention in bringing this patent to our newspaper? Need we do a feature story right away? ”
"Feature reporting is only the most basic thing, in fact, I want to carry out an in-depth cooperation with the "Oriental Times" in my personal name, but I don't know if your company has this will." Zhong Bai smiled faintly and said.
