The last court session began under the watchful eye of the public, and Zhang Zhonghua once again entered the federal court in the New York District with a team of 20 lawyers.

Dozens of major media reporters from all over the world entered the courtroom and participated in the trial verdict.

IBM is also bitter and can't say, originally a simple eucalyptus didn't expect it to make such a big fuss, and it can't delay time, but now the whole world is paying attention to this bit of, which can be regarded as a storm in the city.

And the two companies of Rockville and Caterpillar are purely lying down with IBM, and now they have very big opinions on IBM.

They didn't even want to continue developing the database, after all, they weren't IBM, they just needed a working database.

In court, the lawyers representing the three companies also understood that the general trend had gone, and they were unable to come up with new evidence for a long time to prove that Zhang Zhonghua plagiarized and stole company information, and that YH Company and IBM were purely creative collisions, and Zhang Zhonghua's database software was the first to be developed and applied for a patent, Zhang Zhonghua did not have any infringement, and the patent also belonged to Zhang Zhonghua.

The presiding judge of the Federal Court for the District of New York finally made a verdict: IBM, Rockville and Caterpillar lost the lawsuit and needed to jointly pay Zhang Zhonghua $600,000 in litigation costs; paid Zhang Zhonghua $100,000 for lost work; Compensation of US$1 million for the loss of Zhang Zhonghua's reputation, totaling US$1.7 million.

With the victory of the lawsuit, Zhang Zhonghua's 20 lawyers were very excited, they had won the lawsuit with three international giants.

Although these lawyers are all successful, winning the big three is also a brilliant stroke in their lawyer careers, and their fame has been greatly improved.

And Luo Cheng was even more excited, after staying in the ugly country for almost a month, Zhang Sheng and the three giants finally drew a successful end, he did not lose his father's face, and Luo Wenjin's law firm will go to the next level.

The patent attorney sent by Dr. Wang An to support Zhang Zhonghua was even more excited, he won the lawsuit on behalf of Wang An Computer Company this time, and his boss Wang An and IBM had a deep grudge, which can be said to be incompatible, and this time he also breathed a sigh of relief for the boss, and the boss should have a lot of rewards for him this time.

After walking out of the court, Zhang Zhonghua also breathed a long sigh of relief, this time he wrote a database, and it was really reckless to collide directly with IBM, and Zhang Zhonghua did not want to conflict with IBM and other giants on the underlying patents of computers until the last resort.

After winning this lawsuit, database-related products or something will be their own products in the future, in fact, it is not impossible to be a software giant.

As for the compensation money, it was a small amount of money, which was not interesting, so Zhang Zhonghua decided to give each lawyer a check to see if he could bring a few to his team.

"Zhang Sheng, this time we are not dishonoring our mission, we are also going to return to Hong Kong Island, do you have any other arrangements?"

Luo Cheng said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.

"Thank you Barrister Luo and you this time, I still have my thanks when I look back, and Zhang thank you again."

Zhang Zhonghua is also very grateful to these lawyers, it is definitely worth the money, and the lawyer's fees are still paid by IBM and other three companies.

Then Zhang Zhonghua took out three Citi checks totaling $40 from his pocket, and handed them to the tripartite team.

After Zhang Zhonghua said goodbye to the lawyers, he returned to his villa, and there was no lawsuit Zhang Zhonghua is really light now.

The plan of the ugly country is basically completed, it seems that only the problem of software sales remains, and a company has to be formed, and he is completely famous in the ugly country, which has laid a little foundation for the CFC restaurant to enter the ugly country market in the future.

"Boss, the next thing is the software listing, how to set the price?"

"Let's set up a company to talk about this, but the price will definitely not be cheap, and now as long as it has something to do with computers, it can't be cheap."

Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment, and then said.

Nowadays, as long as it has something to do with computers, both the computer itself and the storage equipment are so expensive that it makes people's scalp tingle, and they can't learn computer science without any property.

Let's just say that in Zhang Zhonghua's view, the minimum compression software on the market is 100 US dollars, and the price of the super-large floppy disks released by IBM is more than 1,000 US dollars.

Zhang Zhonghua's YH can be said to be the king of compression, which no company can surpass in a short period of time in the future, and as long as large-capacity storage devices do not appear, the market for compression software will not fall.

It is difficult for GB-level storage devices to be applied on a large scale in the next two or three decades, so the market for compression software can make Zhang Zhonghua eat for twenty or thirty years, and with the miniaturization and popularization of computers, the market for compression software will continue to expand.

As long as there is a computer or computer, the compression software must be installed, the market potential is leveraged, and the compression software will not cost after the development of the compression software.

"Boss, the cheapest computers now cost $10,000, so why do we have to sell our software for more than a dozen dollars?"

"Huh, a dozen dollars? IBM introduced the first supercomputer with a hard disk in 1956, which contained 50 24-inch disks, the size of two refrigerators, weighed up to a ton, and could store 5MB of data with up to $10,000 per megabyte of storage space.

Nowadays, it takes more than 10 tapes to install a piece of software, but the compression software directly reduces the file size by half, directly doubles the storage capacity of the tape, and a dozen dollars is too cheap. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile, and at the same time, a burst of light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.

A few days after the patent eucalyptus, when Zhang Zhonghua was preparing lunch in the villa, he welcomed an unexpected guest - Thomas Watson Jr., chairman of IBM.

Hearing this visit, Zhang Zhonghua's little heart almost jumped out, don't look at him winning the lawsuit against IBM, but compared with IBM, he is a serious little Karami, not worth mentioning.

IBM did not use off-board tricks to let Zhang Zhonghua win the lawsuit, otherwise IBM would have been slightly active and the evidence was insufficient, and the court would have ruled that IBM would have won.

Thomas John Watson was the founder of IBM, and he grew from a little-known computing and tabulation company to the world's largest computer company, leading the world's computer development and developing IBM into a hegemon in the information industry.

When Thomas Watson Sr. died in 1956, Thomas Watson Jr. succeeded his father as president of IBM. After replacing his father as CEO in 1956, he led the company through an unprecedentedly long period of astonishing rapid growth.

By the time Thomas Jr. exited IBM, the company had beaten out its computer competitors, such as General Electric, Ugly Radio and Sperry-General Automatic Computer. In terms of size and status, it surpasses these old big companies that once dominated the business world of the ugly country.

Under Watson Jr.'s painstaking management, IBM became the world's largest giant company in the computer industry, and became the world's fifth-largest industrial enterprise.

Zhang Zhonghua enthusiastically introduced the visiting Thomas Watson into the living room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your happy time."

After the two sat down, Thomas Watson Jr. said to Zhang Zhonghua.

He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be more powerful than the database in the compression software, now because of the backwardness of storage technology, IBM has a greater demand for compression software, as long as the memory card space is large enough, then the industrial computer market will be broader.

"It is our honor for you to come here, IBM leads the development of computer technology in the world and promotes the progress of society, and will continue to lead the development of the world's computers.

Zhang Zhonghua said politely.

If Dr. Wang An knew that Zhang Zhonghua was ten times more excited to see Thomas Jr. than to see him, would he regret supporting his lawyer team in the first place?

You must know that he supports Zhang Zhonghua because he hopes that Zhang Zhonghua will fight IBM to the end, but Zhang Zhonghua will fight to the end with IBM when he is crazy, and in essence, IBM has not provoked Zhang Zhonghua.

"It's good that I didn't bother you, I'm sorry that the previous lawsuit caused you a lot of trouble."

Thomas Watson Jr. said.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, there was such a big misunderstanding, he had to come to the door in person to admit his mistakes, but he figured out that this young man was a perverted genius, and he didn't want IBM to have an opponent who was even more genius than Wang An.

"It's nothing, it's just that the ideas are the same, and it's all about contributing to the development of society. Mr. Watson, if you have enough time, stay for lunch and let you try my handiwork. ”

We Yanxia people like to talk about business at the wine table, as long as a bottle of liquor goes down, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

Thomas Watson Jr. feels messy in the wind, I'm here to discuss the software park metropolis, how can it be related to the hot summer food?

"Well, of course, it's an honor. Then trouble Mr. Zhang, this is the first time I have tasted Chinese food! ”

Thomas Watson Jr. said very politely.

Zhang Zhonghua asked the secretary to accompany Thomas Watson Jr. to watch TV in the living room, while Zhang Zhonghua went to the kitchen, and the ingredients he prepared today were originally to celebrate the victory, and they happened to be used to entertain Thomas Jr.

At noon, a table of sumptuous dishes was served on the table, and the rich aroma permeated the living room, which made the little Thomas Watson have a straight stomach and eyes, and at the same time cooed a few times uncompromisingly, making Thomas Watson smile awkwardly.

And Zhang Zhonghua also took into account the taste of the ghost old man, and the ones he picked were all clear and sweet, which is why the eight major cuisines are Huaiyang cuisine for the state banquet cuisine, because it adapts to the taste of people, and it will not be uncomfortable after eating before.

This meal made little Thomas shout that Zhang Zhonghua's most awesome thing is his cooking skills, this cooking skills, this Chinese food is so delicious, and those steaks are garbage.

At the same time, Thomas Jr. secretly decided to return to the company and must increase Chinese working meals. In the next few decades, IBM restaurant Chinese food is very popular, and the engineers of Chouguo are also deeply in love with Chinese food, and IBM has become the place with the highest acceptance of Chinese food in Chouguo except Chinatown.

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, your cooking skills are really amazing, I was not very interested in appetite before, but it is the first time that I have a strong interest in food."

Install the latest version. 】

Thomas Watson Jr. praised.

"Thank you for your compliment, my cooking skills are not worth mentioning in the hot summer, if you have the opportunity to go to the hot summer in the future, you will meet thousands of various delicacies of the eight major cuisines of the hot summer."

"You're such a genius, both in cooking and in computers, and you've written amazing compression software and databases."

Thomas Watson Jr. said with sincere admiration for Zhang Zhonghua, but he clearly knew that Zhang Zhonghua only began to seriously study computers when he came to Chouguo last time to sell electric fans and humidifiers.

This made Thomas Watson Jr. sigh that there are really geniuses in this world.

"Mr. Thomas, I have red wine Lafite and famous Chinese wines here, and of course Coke and drinks."

The three of them began to eat, and Thomas Watson Jr. had an appetite even more, eating the dishes and drinking Lafite to the fullest. An hour later, the guests and hosts were happy, the secretary stayed in the dining room to clean up the leftovers, and Zhang Zhonghua and Thomas Watson Jr. came to the living room to start talking.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhang Zhonghua intends to sell patents for compression software and database software?"

Thomas Watson Jr. asked Zhang Zhonghua straight to the point.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhonghua shook his head.

Database software will be a market of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, and it is impossible for me to give up this huge cake. And the compression software has at least more than 20 years of prosperity, this is a super cash cow, and the income it can bring cannot be estimated at all, and Zhang Zhonghua will sell the patent only after his brain is pumped.

It is not necessarily a good thing to master two awesome software by yourself, and you don't have that much ability to eat two businesses now, otherwise US imperialism will teach you how to be a human being every minute.

What is the Wall Street spirit of the ugly country? That is, of course, everyone earns money together, and eating alone will kill you and make you lose all your money.

"Mr. Thomas, the database software is limited by hardware conditions, and the functionality is far from what I imagined, and I want to continue to develop it myself.

Compression softwareMy algorithm can compress almost all formats, even those multimedia files without any problems.

The compression software has at least a few decades of prosperity, and now the computer is still in the era of KB, even in the MB, GB era of compression software has a broad market prospect.

Today's computers are mainly large-scale industrial machines, and I believe that computers will sooner or later enter thousands of households in the future. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said.

The market prospect of compression software is impossible to estimate at all, and I will not sell patents.

"It's probably very difficult for computers to enter personal homes, and it was unlikely that they would have been a few decades ago."

Thomas Watson Jr. said.

"You know more about the history of computers than I do, and I don't think I need to repeat how different the current computers are from the previous ones.

What's more, there are many personal computers now, and with the upgrading of semiconductor technology, computers will become more miniaturized, and it is inevitable that they will enter thousands of households.

The economy of the ugly country is so developed and occupies a major position in the world economy, if the computer has the entertainment function of a television, there must be many families who buy a computer. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said.
