Computers are a relatively large market.

The current computer market is mainly desktop computers, laptops, and tablets.

Among them, laptops account for about 70% of the total sales, the remaining 20% of desktops, and about 10% of tablets.

The annual shipment of laptops in the world is about 200 million units, and the Huaxia side is about 60 million units.

The average selling price is about 5k RMB.

In other words, this is a large market of 300 billion yuan in the domestic market and trillions in the international market.

Of course, the most profitable of them all belongs to Apple.

In March, Wu Zhou's feet did not touch the ground in the busyness.

On April 2, Juchang and Aiying Group formally signed a cooperation agreement.

After that, a new company was established, business departments were connected, and the recruitment of relevant personnel was accelerated.

Wu Zhou wanted to turn the computer upside down

At the same time, during this time, within the company, there were also various voices of discussion about the cooperation with the chrysanthemum factory.

Because the popularity of chrysanthemum factories among ordinary people is still very high.

"This is a two-way street, our Mr. Wu is a loyal fan of Juchang."

"Haha, that's not, the mobile phones used by our company's employees before, not to mention all, but 80% of them are from the chrysanthemum factory, as for the leadership, all of them."

"Now that the chrysanthemum factory has cooperated with our company, if I buy the things of the chrysanthemum factory, can I also have an internal price?"

"I guess so, I'll talk about that later. It's just not clear what this cooperation is, it's mysterious, so I just said a word of cooperation, and there are no details. ”

"What else can we cooperate, isn't our company's biggest strength the operational ability of the e-commerce department, and it is likely that we will sell the goods of the chrysanthemum factory."

"It shouldn't be, if that's the case, the e-commerce department has already moved, where will it be as quiet as it is now."

"Which eye of yours can see that it is quiet, you take a good look at the personnel department, there are a lot of recruitment positions, and there are many more engineer and designer positions."

"Is this going to make a big move?"

"When did our Mr. Wu make a small move, and forgot how we always entered the medical industry after the year."

"Can that be the same, the medical field is originally a big money-burner, and we Wu always buy it directly. Of course, there are many flowers. Although those enterprises are not small, but compared to the chrysanthemum factory, it is not enough to see at all, although we Wu Zong has money, it should not be possible to have the money to use the same operation for the chrysanthemum factory, right? ”

"That's definitely not comparable, it's actually hundreds of billions of sales a year, hundreds of billions of profits, and profits are higher than our company's performance."

"Stop chatting, the more you talk, the more you lose your score. What will happen later, we will have to wait and see. In the company, we still get first-hand information. ”

The atmosphere of the whole company is still good.

At the beginning of April, the shortage of masks in Europe and the United States has been alleviated to a certain extent.

Because of a large number of Aiying Group masks, they have been shipped one after another, and even arrived.

"Huaxia's mask, shift, such a serious virus, how can you use Huaxia's mask, I want 3M's. It has to be 3M, or Honeywell's, why is it Chinese. "After receiving the masks assigned by the hospital, some doctors and nurses saw that the source of the above standards was Huaxia, and they couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"Alright, Anna, be quiet for a while. I also want to purchase 3M masks, but you must know that 3M masks have long been sold out, and even if they are producing day and night now, it is far from enough for our needs, and it is very good to have masks now. And this mask is not as bad as you think. ”

As she spoke, the paramedic handed the complaining nurse Anna a color and told her to give it a try.

Nurse Anna fell into a situation where there was no mask available, unless she wanted to overextend the 3M mask that the wearer was wearing now, but the follow-up 3M mask was far away.

She didn't have a choice.

In desperation, she finally reluctantly took the mask handed over by her friend.

The only thing was a safe space, sanitizing, wearing, and about ten minutes later, she walked out of the safe room.

At this moment, there was some surprise on her face.

"Does this mask really have a protective effect, why do I think its airtightness is not so good, I don't dare to breathe hard when I wear it." She is used to wearing a 3m mask, and at this moment she wears Qiao Fei's mask, and the comfort of wearing it has been improved.

Of course, these are not the most important things at the moment, at the moment she is most concerned about safety, before her life is threatened, the comfort of wearing is not important at all.

At this time, I saw the doctor in a white coat and a lady with gold-rimmed glasses rushing in, looking tired.

After coming in, she sat down directly on the ground, she was tired and needed to rest for a while.

If it was in his own office, God knows if he would be called away and continue to treat patients.

So the locker room was the place she found to be lazy.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that there were two nurses inside.

glanced around, and then saw the packaging not far away, which looked good, and the whole box of unopened masks.

"I'm going to change my mask." Murphy said with a smile and pointed to the mask not far away.

"Dr. Murphy, aren't you even using a 3M?" Nurse Anna asked suspiciously, after all, she knew that Dr. Dina was a doctor who directly rescued critically ill patients on the front line, and this kind of doctor on the front line should not use the best mask.

Murphy was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he also reacted, with a smile on his face. "This brand of masks has been tested in detail in the hospital, and the effect is no worse than that of 3M, and the comfort of wearing is far more than that of 3M, so why not use it?"

"Has the hospital tested it? Better than 3M? Are you sure? Anna was even more surprised, in her influence, she felt that 3M's should be the best, after all, 3M had always been used before, and how could Huaxia's masks be better than 3M's.

But after hearing Dr. Murphy's words, at this moment, he subconsciously took a deep breath, felt the comfort of breathing, and the direct touch of the tip of his mouth and nose and the mask, but he had to admit in his heart that at least it was much more comfortable to wear than 3M's.

If the protection effect is really no worse than 3M, then she will definitely choose

Many thoughts passed through Anna's mind.

"However, only protection can be achieved, but medical masks are not only protection, but also need antibacterial and antiviral ingredients, so as to maximize the protection of medical staff." Anna once again defended that she still didn't believe that Huaguo's masks could be better than the brand of Meiguo.

Murphy nodded, but the expression on his face remained the same, and he found a chair to sit down at this moment.

"You don't have to worry about this, our testing agency in the United States has already tested it." Murphy said, rummaging through his phone's photo album, and after about a minute, his finger slid to stop, and he found the photo and clicked to enlarge it.

Then it was placed in front of Anna, the two curious nurses.

The two approached, stuck their heads out, and looked at Murphy's phone.

Murphy continued at this time, his tone lazy, "And this brand of masks is the best sold in Huaguo, and the medical system uses a lot of them, and many of my doctor friends in Huaguo also use this mask. Murphy said and even subconsciously wanted to touch his mask, but just thought about it, and put his hand in the air again.

At this moment, Anna opened her mouth wide, still not quite convinced by the quality of Huaguo's masks.

"But the level of medical care in Huaguo." Anna doesn't think much of Huaxia's medical standards.

The gap between the two sides is still obvious at the moment

For example, the number of ICU beds in the United States is about 34.7 per 100,000 population, and the number of ventilators is about 26.2 per 100,000 population.

In China, the number of ICU beds is about 3.6 per 100,000 population, and the number of ventilators is about 3.8 per 100,000 population.

It's only about 10 out of 10, which is too much of a difference.

"It's normal over there, but what about us?" Murphy wouldn't say anything to a little nurse, Anna has not been in contact with doctors in Huaxia, but she has been in contact with, there are many top doctors in Huaguo, even in the world, they are among the best in the world, and Mi Guo's medical care is mainly strong in the field of biomedicine.

Murphy said these words slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was half asleep. This time is too tiring, and depending on the situation, there will be more and more in the future, and now there is still a little lazy time, and there may be no later.

Anna didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Doctor Murphy, do you think we can recover as quickly as Huaguo did?" The other nurse asked, in a slightly low tone.

"What do you think?" Murphy didn't answer, just asked casually.

But without waiting for the two of them to look at each other and look at each other speechlessly, she got up again and walked out of this short rest area.

The R&D headquarters of 3M.

As the world's most professional manufacturer of protective masks, the company's mask orders have far exceeded last year's in terms of volume and purchase price. It can be described as an explosion of performance. Countries across the globe are snapping up their masks.

But at this moment, the company's executives are frowning at the report in front of them.

The antibacterial and antiviral test report of the mask material of Qiaofeijia.

And some of these details are compared with 3M's best antimicrobial materials at the moment.

Compare the effectiveness of killing viruses at the same time.

The material of Qiao Fei's mask is at least 91% higher than that of their 3M, which is about to double.

"What about detailed ingredient testing, we have so many patents related to masks, they haven't infringed?" Mike looked at his R&D director with a serious face and asked in a deep voice, with a cloudy expression on his face.

After all, as the world's largest mask medical mask manufacturer, their masks have always been the first choice for medical staff, and the reason is, of course, because of the better protective effect.

But now a new brand in China has a better protective effect than their most advanced masks, which is unacceptable to him.

"Further testing is underway for the relevant antiviral components, but there are no results yet. As for the patent infringement, it has not yet been discovered. The head of the R&D department bowed his head.

"Then don't hurry up, test the results as soon as possible, if this Huaguo brand has not yet applied for a patent, we must be fast." Mike exclaimed.

In most cases, patents are on a first-come, first-served basis. That is, if two or more persons or companies claim to apply for a patent for the same invention or innovation, then the person or company that filed the application first with the patent office is eligible for a patent.

Most Chinese enterprises do not pay much attention to the registration of international patents, so many patents that are obviously Chinese are preemptively registered abroad.

However, after finishing speaking, I also noticed that the person in front of me was from the R&D department, not the company's patent department, so it was useless to say this.

Waving his hand, he was in a bad mood and let him go down.

Of course, before leaving, he warned him that if the R&D department could not find a way to surpass the protection of this Huaguo mask in the fastest time, then he could get out.

The head of the R&D department left the president's office with his head bowed and embarrassed.

Soon after, the head of the company's intellectual property department was called and asked to check whether the relevant patents of Aiying Group in the field of masks were registered.

After about 20 minutes, I got a reply.

"Boss, in terms of antiviral materials alone, this Aiying Group has been applying for 17 patents since last year, all of which have applied for "priority examination", 5 patents have been approved, and 12 are pending approval, and in addition to 6 appearance patents for masks, these patents have been approved in Huaguo. ”

The average examination period of utility model patents in the United States is about 21.9 months, while the average examination period of invention patents is 14.1 months, and if you are willing to spend money and get a priority review, the time can be shortened to 6-12 months.

Moreover, the relevant new technologies on the side of Aiying Company generally begin to apply for patents in major markets and major sales countries around the world after they come out.

This is not a small expense, because patents are issued on a country-by-country basis, and each country or region needs to be registered separately.

Therefore, if you register a patent, a company that does not have some strength will not be able to register a global patent at all, and it will cost too much money.

Even if Wu Zhou is not bad for money, he is registered after screening.

It is a waste of time to have a priority in doing things, and to think about the details.

For example, there are more than 190 countries recognized by the United Nations, of which only about 80 have a population of more than 10 million.

In small places with a population of millions, most of them do not need to apply, and the market is too small.

As for the population of more than 10 million, if some places are particularly poor, there is no great need.

There is a high probability that they will not become consumers of Aiying Group's products, so what's the use of applying for patents there.

Also, some of the places are quite friendly.

For example, in Europe, there is a common patent system in Europe, called the European Patent, which applies to most countries in Europe (member states of the European Patent Organization). The applicant files an application with the European Patent Organization to obtain a European patent, which, once granted, is valid in most European countries without the need to apply for a separate patent in each member state.

The head of the intellectual property department said, and Mike was silent for a while.

"Okay, I got it."

A brand of a Chinese company that has never been heard of has applied for registered patents in major countries around the world.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the report given to him by the person in charge of Greater China some time ago.

In this mask incident, the outbreak of the mask market first started to rush to buy in Huaguo, but she was quite happy to see the performance data of Greater China, which was the completion of last year's annual revenue in these three months.

But at this moment, after this kind of thing happened on the side of the United States, I felt that something was wrong when I looked at the market increment.

"Mr. Ding, I want you to tell me honestly, is Huaguo's Aiying Group encroaching on our market?"
