Chapter 35 Patent Grant



Lei Jun thought to himself, "Do you think I don't want Kechuang Biotechnology to give us six months?"

Compared to Yan Yongsheng, who specializes in technology, he understands better how much of an advantage six months is.

"That's simply unrealistic. I can't make the decisions about Kechuang Biotechnology. It's entirely Zheng Li's company."

"It's already quite good that I can get you three months."

"Moreover, Lao Yan, try to keep the news from the outside world closed. The samples from Kechuang Bio will arrive at the company through customs today. This is the most important task for the company from now until the research and development is completed."

"You can freely draw staff from within the company, and the company will pay you full overtime pay according to your overtime hours."

An army marches on its stomach.

For challenging tasks like this, paying employees a full salary is essential to motivating them. Talking about ideals and beliefs at this time is just slacking off.

This is useful when a company is in its early stages because there is plenty of room for maneuver between superiors and subordinates, and when you bring this up, everyone can see the potential for advancement.

In a company the size of a rice mill, talking about ideals is treating employees like dirt. Everyone is just a worker; being practical is more effective than anything else.

One of the best things about Huawei is that while they accept overtime, they don't play games with employee compensation; they pay employees exactly what they're owed.

Many companies on the market claim to be learning from Huawei's wolf-like culture, but the result is that Huawei's overtime culture is not as good as the treatment of state-owned enterprises. It is just that the boss wants to take all the benefits.

"Finally, this is an order, not a matter for discussion. Lao Yan, you need to find a way to do it."

Yan Yongsheng immediately nodded and said, "I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

After arranging the work with Yan Yongsheng, Lei Jun also had his own task: he planned to go to Shenzhen in person.

Zheng Li's brain-computer interface chip is mainly based on a modified PCB module of TGAM (ThinkGear ASIC Module).

Shenzhen Shennan Circuits is a leading PCB manufacturer in China. Lei Jun plans to go to Shenzhen to find Shennan Circuits and reach a strategic cooperation, so that Shennan Circuits can start designing and developing a production line for customized PCB modules now.

If it were just a matter of developing a customized PCB module production line, Lei Jun could simply send his men down there. However, he also wanted to secure all of Shennan Circuits' PCB module production capacity for at least the next three years.

One step ahead leads to another.

The information advantage of rice did not last long, as many of rice's employees were transferred from manufacturers such as OV and Huawei.

For example, an engineer from OPPO who jumped ship to Xiaomi, a key technical member, joined the brain-computer interface development project and frequently posted on social media with similar content:

Our future lies in the stars and the sea!

"We are making a product that has never been done before."

"The next generation of rice mix will be a revolutionary product."

If he blocks his colleagues from posting these things on his WeChat Moments, they won't know he posted them. But his former VIVO colleagues will come and ask him about it, especially his former VIVO boss.

Leaders are generally more sensitive to this kind of thing, and they can easily get the information out of someone by having a meal together when they have some free time.

There are many similar incidents because it is impossible to keep secrets from projects involving thousands of people.

Soon, competitors learned that Kechuang Bio had developed a commercially viable brain-computer interface chip.

Major domestic mobile phone manufacturers reacted quickly.

Zhao Ming, the leader of Honor of Kings, personally led the team.

At this time, Honor had already separated from Huawei. Huawei sold Honor as a whole to a company in Pengcheng, which was a state-owned enterprise controlled by the Pengcheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

In other words, Honor is now a purely state-owned enterprise.

Zhao Ming was furious because his subordinate Guan Haiming, from the public relations department, had received a product introduction from Kechuang Biotechnology, which he had read but hadn't reported to his superiors.

His source of information was still the head of the industrial design department.

Why aren't the product introductions for Kechuang Biotechnology being submitted to higher authorities? Is it because they're too busy with work to pay attention to these things?

Zhao Ming took the head of the public relations department to Suzhou, and on the way he couldn't help but want to give him a lecture.

You should know that Glory had just left Huawei, and Zhao Ming was just about to make a name for himself when his subordinates started to cause him trouble.

"Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology previously invested in DingTalk Technology with companies like Dami, Tencent, and Ali through brain-computer interface technology. They said they had developed commercially viable brain-computer interface technology and wanted to discuss cooperation with us."

DingTalk's first partner for its brain-computer interface monitoring device was not one of these major domestic manufacturers, but Microsoft.

Due to the impact of the pandemic, many internet companies in Europe and the United States have required employees to work from home. Microsoft plans to provide each employee with a brain-computer interface device so that everyone can work freely from home.

You only need to work 24 hours a week through a brain-computer interface device.

Where did the 24-hour workday come from? Microsoft has always wanted to change the five-day work week to a four-day work week, and Microsoft Japan has already taken the lead in changing to a four-day work week.

Then, subtracting the two-hour lunch break from 9 am to 5 pm each day, that is, a six-hour workday, so the total workday is 24 hours per week.

"You should at least report it, instead of taking it upon yourself to ignore the other party's documentation."

Guan Haiming also had his reasons. Honor had only separated from Huawei on November 17th, and the public relations department had a lot of work to do. It was impossible for him to report every piece of information to the top level.

More importantly, Kechuang Bio's products are B2B rather than B2C. Most people who really know this company are professionals in the biopharmaceutical industry, and Guan Haiming doesn't really know much about it.

But now he could only bow his head and say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, it was my oversight at work."

Zhao Ming: "We are currently the slowest one; other manufacturers have already signed contracts with Kechuang Bio."

Due to capital operations such as equity transfers, much of Honor's work has been relatively stagnant.

Zhao Ming, accompanied by professional technicians and public relations staff, traveled to Suzhou. After seeing and experiencing the brain-computer interface device of Kechuang Biotechnology, he immediately decided to sign a cooperation agreement.

Kechuang Bio applies the same terms to all mobile phone manufacturers: the patent usage fee for a brain-computer interface mobile phone is 200 yuan, with payment made after production.

Meanwhile, Kechuang Bio provides free software updates, while hardware updates are charged separately.

After major domestic mobile phone manufacturers signed patent licensing agreements, the news was basically known to the outside world.

In fact, another major application scenario for brain-computer interfaces is in automobiles. The combination of brain-computer interfaces and autonomous driving is virtually unstoppable. Autonomous driving is responsible for driving, while brain-computer interfaces are responsible for emergency operations.

When an accident occurs, the brain sends braking signals to the car.

However, none of the domestic car manufacturers reacted strongly; instead, it was Baidu that proposed a collaboration.

This is because it involves a redistribution of authority and responsibility.
