Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
Patents are very important things. In his previous life, Wan Feng had not reached that stage and had no impression of patents.
But in this life, he deeply understands the importance of patents.
Jiang Wanmeng's Wanyan eventually collapsed due to the lack of patent protection.
When it had almost finished researching every aspect of VCD and could not continue due to a broken capital chain, other companies bought the prototypes, studied them thoroughly, and finally produced VCD without spending much development costs.
While others were selling like hotcakes, Jiang Wanmeng, the creator of the world's first VCD, did not receive a penny from his patent.
This is truly a tragedy.
Wan Feng will not follow Jiang Wanmeng's old path.
He will apply for patents for every step in the development of VCD. In the future, other manufacturers will have no choice but to forget about producing VCD without authorization or paying patent fees.
He may not be able to find those small, unknown factories hidden in the corners, but where can you go to find those big factories that have made a name for themselves?
Even if the laws in the 1990s were not sound, you can't expect peace without paying a penny.
And Tianli, who got a great bargain by following Wan Yan, you should never think about getting a bargain again in this life.
When Wan Yan developed the first VCD player at the end of 1993, Tianli General Manager Cheng Zhiguo realized that this was a huge potential market.
However, he neither immediately broke through the core technology of VCD to compete with Wan Yan, nor did he wait and see how things developed and then take advantage of the situation. Instead, he quickly broke through the core technology of VCD decoding board, keeping pace with the most advanced level in technology development without taking the risk of opening up the VCD market.
After Tianli successfully developed the VCD decoder board at the end of July 1994, those who modified their home computers and CD players with VCDs became the main users of Tianli decoder boards.
Tianli’s wealth is rolling in.
As decoder board technology became more and more perfect and the VCD market was fully launched, Tianli was able to produce a series of decoder boards and was the first to pass the appraisal of the Ministry of Electronics.
In this way, Tianli decoder boards entered the computer, CD player and VCD markets. In 1995, its sales exceeded 150 million yuan, making it the first profitable company in China to enter the VCD field, and it occupied 40% of the domestic decoder board market.
At present, Wan Feng has not thought about how to use Tianli’s actions in his previous life for his own benefit, because that will be at least two years later, and it is a bit early to worry about it now.
What he has to worry about now is going to Shanghai to snatch people away.
Before leaving, he went to see the two production lines that were being built.
If things go wrong, he may have to come back next month to check on the progress of the production line.
The production line for the pickup truck is nearing completion and will be completed soon.
After the construction is completed, it is installed, which also takes some time.
The installation is estimated to be completed in early April.
Wan Feng believed that he had already returned by then.
The team that originally built the Feiyue 90CC production line took over the dump truck production line right after building the motorcycle production line, and is now building the dump truck production line.
It's almost halfway done.
Knowing that the development zone would begin construction in June, the construction and installation of the dump truck production line seemed less urgent.
However, three months is not an easy job. After all, the production line of dump trucks is larger and longer than that of motorcycles and pickup trucks.
Wan Feng came out of the processing workshop and was about to talk to his uncle about his work after he left. When he walked into Zhu Yong's office, he unexpectedly saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Xiao Qiang!"
"Hello, big brother!"
The young man seemed very polite.
This is my uncle’s son Zhu Yingqiang.
Zhu Yong has two children, Zhu Yingqiang is the eldest, and he has a daughter who is still in middle school.
Zhu Yong's family originally lived in another place, and Wan Feng had little interaction with his cousin when he was studying in Wahou.
After his family returned to Jiangwei, this cousin had been studying outside and he had not seen him many times.
I graduated from high school last year.
This guy studied very hard. He spent five years in middle school alone, and it is said that he spent another six years in the fifth grade of elementary school.
He had only finished middle school when others graduated from high school.
After graduating last summer, this guy just wandered around the house, telling fortunes and strolling around.
Relying on his family's good financial situation, he neither works nor does any labor.
Zhu Yong said this several times in front of Wan Feng.
Wan Feng had no other choice. Even if he had the right path, he had to leave. If he refused to leave, would you beat him?
This guy never comes to Nandawan, and he probably knows that Wanfeng will talk about him as soon as he comes.
But why are you here today?
"Haha! You still recognize me, your elder brother. It's not easy! I haven't seen you in several years. I thought you were lost!"
"Brother! We keep taking different roads, so it's no wonder we haven't run into each other."
"That's a good reason. I like it. So, what's the point of coming here today? It seems like the sun hasn't risen from the west yet!"
"He has no money, so he comes to me for money! I cut off his source of income. I tell you uncles, if you give him another penny, I will divorce her. I have also leaked information about all of Jiang Wei's small shops and game halls. I will ask anyone who gives him money on credit for money. No one will pay it back." Zhu Yongqi said with a snort.
"Oh! Cousin! I can't help you with this."
Zhu Yingqiang sat aside without saying a word.
"Logically, a young hero like you should be able to live well even without money! Since you treat your work like dirt, you should be able to survive without spending money. How could a grown man like you ask me for money? What are you thinking?"
"I didn't say I didn't want to work, but there's nothing I like so I don't like doing it."
