Chapter 179 Virtuous Cycle

What Lin Zhenhua said caused everyone in the meeting room to fall into silence.

Chinese people's understanding of foreign countries has undergone a very dramatic change.Before the reform and opening up, the media publicized how ugly the capitalist world was and how greedy the capitalists were, leaving people with a feeling of darkness in the international market.After the door was opened, everyone found that the foreign businessmen in the business field were all gentle and gentle. Whether it was negotiating or signing contracts, they were all well-regulated.

Out of a kind of rebellion against the one-sided propaganda in the past, people immediately went from one extreme to another, thinking that Western countries are full of flowers, and they often say "how about other countries", and even the moon becomes rounder when it goes to a foreign country. In terms of terminology, it is called that the radius of curvature is equal everywhere.

The situation mentioned by Lin Zhenhua gave everyone a wake-up call, and made them notice that under the coat of the crown, foreign businessmen may also hide a black heart of profiteers.When doing business with foreign businessmen, you must be on guard.

"Comrades, the situation that Comrade Xiaolin said is worth pondering." Gao Zuxing said seriously, "The issue of protecting our traditional crafts needs to be put on the agenda immediately. Also, after the provinces and cities go back, they must carry out A comprehensive screening to see how many technologies we have ahead of the international advanced level, for these technologies, we must carry out comprehensive protection to avoid the loss of our patented technology.”

"However, we know too little about patents, can the Ministry give us some guidance in this regard?" Sun Pansheng said.

Gao Zuxing said: "The Ministry will make arrangements for this problem soon. Before that, you should learn from Comrade Xiao Lin and actively learn relevant knowledge. Don't always wait for the Ministry to solve the problem for you."

Lin Zhenhua immediately asked: "So, Minister Gao, do you think the Ministry can agree to what I just said?"

Gao Zuxing nodded: "It doesn't count if I say it alone. However, I can promise you part of it first. How about it, Lao Hua, this year you will first allocate Comrade Xiaolin from the income from the five-leaf fan patent fee. Offer 50 US dollars, let him establish this fund first, at the very least, first guarantee the maintenance funds for the five-blade fan patent, and let the Hong Kong lawyer no longer advance money."

Hua Keqin agreed: "No problem, we will implement this matter immediately. However, Minister Gao, the expenditure of this fund..."

"I will approve it for you when I go back." Gao Zuxing said, he still has this power, after all Lin Zhenhua can be regarded as a person who has made a major contribution.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Thank you Minister Gao, but 50 is not enough. I hope the Ministry can consider the rest."

He Haifeng interjected: "Let me just say something, what Xiaolin said just now is actually not finished, and we interrupted it. I asked Xiaolin just now if this fund is purely for public welfare. Xiaolin said that it is both No, Kobayashi hasn't finished explaining this question yet."

"Oh, that's right, Xiao Lin, you can continue." Gao Zuxing said.

Lin Zhenhua nodded gratefully at He Haifeng, and said: "Then I will follow Director He's instructions, and then I will finish my thoughts. My plan is, if the Ministry agrees to give us the funds to establish a foundation, then I will This fund will be used to handle patent applications for units that need it. I have already talked with lawyer Qian Yuanping from Hong Kong. If we can provide funds, he is willing to lead a group of patent agents to Guangzhou to set up a firm to assist When mainland enterprises handle patent affairs, the problem of lack of professional knowledge that Director Sun worried about can be easily solved.”

"Okay, this matter has to be done as soon as possible. Our patent protection is already a matter of urgency." Gao Zuxing affirmed.

Lin Zhenhua went on to say: "However, if the matter of patent protection can only be done by our Hanhua company, it will definitely not work, and everyone needs to work together. Otherwise, we are covered in iron, how many nails can we drive? "

He Haifeng smiled and said to Gao Zuxing: "Minister Gao, Xiao Lin is your general. Shouldn't your ministry also contribute some money?"

Gao Zuxing said: "The Ministry will definitely provide some funds in the future, but these funds are estimated to be used only for the protection of some of the most critical traditional industries, and it is impossible to cover everything. I think Xiaolin's patent foundation, It should have some self-hematopoietic function."

Lin Zhenhua said: "What Minister Gao said is very true. What I am going to say next is about hematopoiesis. My plan is this. For all the patents formed by receiving our funding, if they receive patent royalties in the future, they will be paid from the patents. A certain percentage of the royalties will be returned to the foundation to supplement the foundation’s lack of funds. Then, we will use the royalties received to support more patents, thus forming a virtuous circle.”

"I understand. Are you trading patents? You support patents and then use them to make money. This is what you call a virtuous circle." Gao Zuxing concluded.

Yuan Wei said: "Manager Xiaolin, you are too shrewd. You spend thousands of dollars to fund a patent, and you can get a share of these patents in the future. When you come across a good patent, you can make a lot of money."

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "If Manager Yuan is interested, he can definitely buy a share."

Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "I don't have any money. If Minister Gao agrees to give us some foreign exchange profits, I can consider buying a share. However, it doesn't matter if I say it. It needs to be discussed by our company leaders. Alas, in short, our decision-making is indeed not as decisive as your Hanhua Company."

Gao Zuxing and He Haifeng got together to discuss a few words, and Gao Zuxing said: "Comrade Xiaolin's idea is very bold and innovative. However, in terms of specific policies, I still dare not make decisions without authorization. This will need to wait After Director He and I returned to Beijing, we consulted the central leadership to make sure."

He Haifeng also said: "Comrade Xiaolin's idea is still very valuable. Generally speaking, if this idea can be realized, the foundation can truly achieve a virtuous circle, which will help protect our country's patented technology and promote the development of science and technology. , can play a very good role. However, as Minister Gao said, there are some policy-level issues involved here. Is it appropriate for an enterprise to set up a national foundation? This is not a question between me and Gao The minister has the final say."

"However, Xiaolin, I can decide on your 50 yuan fee." Gao Zuxing pointed to Lin Zhenhua and said, "Regardless of whether your foundation can be established, you should first register the patent that should be registered first. .”

Of course, Lin Zhenhua didn't expect to be able to implement all his ideas at this meeting. He was overjoyed to get Gao Zuxing's promise of 50 US dollars. This time, he can finally no longer use his own money to apply for a patent. .Besides, the part of the money he kept in Hong Kong was almost spent.

"Minister Gao, I have one more thing to say, I don't know if it's appropriate or not." Lin Zhenhua asked Gao Zuxing for instructions.

Gao Zuxing said with a smile: "If you are giving me a problem again, please don't talk about it. Your previous request has already given me a headache. When will you be able to change this habit of making problems for people? ?”

Lin Zhenhua also laughed. He shook his head and said, "Minister Gao, don't worry, this time is definitely not a problem for you. On the contrary, it is very likely to be good news."

"Let's just tell the good news, so that everyone will be happy." Gao Zuxing said.

Lin Zhenhua looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, I would like to take this opportunity today to inform you of a piece of news. Our Hanhua company has recently developed a new type of washing machine product, which is ahead of the existing washing machines in Europe and the United States in terms of technology. , are you interested in producing together?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they scrambled to shout:

"Manager Lin, we are interested!"

"Manager Lin, we didn't mention our technical strength, leave it to us!"

"Manager Lin, just tell me how much patent fee you want!"

"..."

I have to say that the five-leaf fan launched by Lin Zhenhua last year completely impressed everyone.In the process of imitating five-blade fans, various manufacturers have realized the technical content in the design, which is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.Now I hear that Lin Zhenhua is working on a washing machine, and he claims that it is the world's leading technology. Everyone believes it.If there is indeed a world-leading technology, is it not easy to enter the international market?Who wants to stay out of such a good thing?

Everyone can already guess Lin Zhenhua's cooperation conditions, which are nothing more than patent royalties.Judging from the situation of the five-blade fan, Lin Zhenhua's patent fee is indeed not very high.What's more, with Lin Zhenhua's habit, it is estimated that everyone will be recruited to form a price alliance, so as to avoid losses caused by internal price wars. Such a business is indeed very pleasant to do.

The companies present here are all home appliance manufacturers. Some of them produce washing machines themselves, and some are considering the production of washing machines. In any case, the news released by Lin Zhenhua is a good news for them.As for the leaders of the foreign trade departments of various provinces, they are already planning which home appliance company to participate in this extremely profitable business.

Gao Zuxing and He Haifeng looked at each other and smiled helplessly.They knew that this Lin Zhenhua was making a name for himself again. Through this method of patent licensing, he successfully tied many domestic home appliance manufacturers to his chariot.In the future, he only needs to continue to develop new technologies and let others produce them, and he can just collect patent fees.

This practice of using patents to support patents is very similar to the idea of ​​the patent foundation he just proposed, and it does not violate the policy.

"This Xiaolin is indeed a talent. How does his brain grow?" Gao Zuxing said to He Haifeng in a low voice.

He Haifeng added: "The most rare thing is that he is not only talented, but also has a high level of consciousness. I have to say that his motivation for doing these things is worth promoting. After all, it is to protect and develop our domestic industry."

"This kind of talent with both ability and political integrity must be well supported." Gao Zuxing said, "I will discuss it with the Jiangnan Province to see if it is possible to transfer him to the ministry."

He Haifeng said: "Don't do this, I think that Xiao Lin can play a better role by staying at the grassroots level than floating on the top."

Gao Zuxing said: "That's right, he did a very good job at the grassroots level. A small five-blade fan has stirred up the overall situation of our foreign trade front."

Lin Zhenhua didn't notice that the two senior officials around him were talking about him. He was busy answering questions from production companies in various provinces, nodding and smiling at everyone frequently.All the people were complimenting him and expressed that they would invite him to their unit for a walk.

In the entire meeting place, there was only one person whose face was always gloomy. It was already overcast like it was going to rain. He was Director Xu Liya of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.A slap in the face, a merciless slap in the face.A small manager actually became a star at the venue, and he, a dignified director from the capital city, has been ostentatiously ignored by everyone.

"Everyone, it's very late, everyone hasn't eaten yet?" Lin Zhenhua took advantage of the gap and asked loudly.

Then everyone remembered that they were still hungry, and shouted one after another:

"That's right, let's chat while eating, Manager Lin, do yourself a favor and come to our Anhui group for dinner."

"How can this work? It must be going to our Xiangping Province. Manager Lin also likes spicy food."

"Our Eastern Zhejiang Province..."

Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. I will definitely invite you to this meal today. Firstly, I came here because I did not do things properly. I troubled Minister Gao and Director He to fly over thousands of miles from Beijing. I want to arrange Apologize for the wine, please accompany me. Second, I am the youngest here, so I should invite you big brothers. Third... Uh, my assistant has reserved a seat in the restaurant. She is an authentic Guangzhou native and ordered Cantonese cuisine It's also very authentic."

"Hehe, I agree." He Haifeng stood up and said, "Today's meal must be paid for by Xiao Lin. It's all because of him. Is it okay if he doesn't make amends?"

"Okay, Xiaolin please." Gao Zuxing also made a decision.

Both He Haifeng and Gao Zuxing were experienced officials. They knew that Lin Zhenhua had won this contest, and there would inevitably be some grudges in the hearts of those present.Asking Lin Zhenhua to make a gesture of apology can help him resolve some grievances, which is beneficial to Lin Zhenhua's future development.

The two main leaders had both spoken, so it was no longer possible for everyone to argue. Everyone left the conference room noisily, chatting affectionately, and headed for the restaurant.From the looks of others, this group of people doesn't look like they just had a tit-for-tat quarrel, and they think they are such a harmonious group of partners.

However, it is also true to say that, they have turned hostility into friendship and are closely united in the home appliance price alliance headed by Lin Zhenhua.

"Oh, this Manager Lin is really good. We have to thank him for treating us to dinner with the money we paid. What is this?" Yuan Wei whispered to Sun Pansheng.

Afterwards, he took two quick steps, caught up with Lin Zhenhua who was walking in front of him, and said courteously: "Manager Lin, if you like seafood, you have a chance to visit us in East Zhejiang Province, where our seafood is also very famous. "
