"Hey, I'm Zhou Xiaoshan, who are you?"

The voice on the other end of the phone changed a little, but Zhou Xiaoshan's voice could still be distinguished. However, the boy actually curled his tongue and spoke half-baked Cantonese, which made Guan Fei both angry and funny.

"I am Guan Fei! You kid haven't seen each other for several months, but you have learned Cantonese!" Guan Fei cursed with a smile.

"Brig Commander! Oh, I miss you so much!" Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone, immediately changed back to Mandarin, shouting enthusiastically, with a very strong emotional fluctuation in his voice, obviously very excited, "Brig Commander, are you making a phone call in the county town? The sound is a little small and I can't hear it clearly."

Since Guan Fei returned from Hong Kong, he hasn't contacted him directly for several months, and he is very happy to hear his voice.

Xiaoshan has been with him since he was a very early time, and it can be said that he has cultivated it with one hand. In this time and space, he has no relatives anymore, so he attaches great importance to the people around him. Emotionally, these people around him are his relatives in this time and space, and Xiaoshan is like his younger brother.

Although the long-distance phone bill is very expensive and the Hong Kong phone bill is even more expensive, but for a long time, he really missed this younger brother, so he made a rare fake business and private affairs. He took advantage of the opportunity to talk about business and chatted and laughed with Xiaoshan for a while.

At the same time, he also activated the analysis module of the biological secondary brain.

The biological auxiliary brain will automatically filter out the phone noise and analyze and judge the content, method and intonation of the conversation.

Xiaoshan is his younger brother again, but no one knows whether there will be any changes in managing such a large company in Hong Kong for several months.

The topics they chatted about also included some inducing content. Whether Xiaoshan answered positively or avoided sideways, he could allow Guan Fei to understand his psychological changes more accurately in an indirect way and make a clear judgment on his current situation.

This is the responsibility he must fulfill as a manager and has nothing to do with emotions.

If he finds that Zhou Xiaoshan is no longer suitable for staying in the position of general manager of Taiyu Technology, even if it is just a little sign, he will remove him from his position without hesitation and transfer him back for further arrangements.

This is also to protect the hills.

The road ahead is still long, and the tomorrow of the 291st Brigade will be very bright. If the hills are unsteady, it will be because of the small loss of the big, and ultimately harm others and oneself.

Fortunately, Xiaoshan was still the one Zhou Xiaoshan who loved him and respected him. He answered every question asked by Guan Fei without hesitation, and it was extremely detailed, including the process of the matter, his analysis, and decisions he made without reservation.

During this process, he even admitted that when he was with his girlfriend Pan Meifeng, he always used the other party’s money, which made him feel embarrassed and felt like he was a soft-hearted person. In some social receptions, the Pan family took the initiative to pay the bill, and he felt that this was not good.

But he didn't know what to do, and was very distressed. Now that Guan Fei was able to contact him by phone, he immediately asked Guan Fei for advice, just like when he was with him, he asked Guan Fei for instructions and reports to him for big and small matters.

This made Guan Fei very satisfied, happy and relieved.

"Entertainment expenses are necessary and can be used as the company's operating cost. For the specific amount, please discuss with Mao Xiuliang based on the expense status during this period and make a plan." Guan Fei was very open to such normal expenses and immediately agreed readily.

After the chat, Guan Fei said seriously: "Last time you sent a message back from Hong Kong, saying that there were pirated arcades in Japan?"

"Yes! This kind of sign appeared as early as late May, but the number was not large. At that time, Bao Yaning was busy selling everywhere and signing pre-sale contracts, but didn't notice it. However, starting from June, the number of merchants who signed pre-sale contracts with us began to decrease. Bao Yaning realized that something was wrong. After exploring around, he learned that there had been arcades on the market that were completely imitated by "Space Invaders". "When reporting on the official matters, Zhou Xiaoshan's voice became much more serious.

Japan first introduced pirated machines, which was a bit beyond Guan Fei's expectations.

Logically speaking, the United States has a higher level of integrated circuits, and even if it is pirated, the United States should be the first to issue it. In fact, Japan took the lead.

"Has our program been cracked?" Bao Yaning and the others did not fully investigate at that time. The person who brought the letter just said a brief statement to Guan Fei and reported to him that the pirated machine had been released and appeared in the Japanese market. He could not tell the details.

This is the disadvantage of serious information lag.

Nothing happens suddenly, and there is always a process of brewing, spearheading, or erupting. If Guan Fei is in Hong Kong, he will naturally understand the situation very early and can make decisions and adjustments in a relatively timely manner. However, the 291st Brigade is thousands of kilometers away from Hong Kong, and a letter must be sent through the country, which will be delayed at least seven or eight days.

When Guan Fei received the initial news, things might have expanded in the Japanese market and Hong Kong.

The reason why the territory could not be expanded in ancient times was that the information lag made the center unable to be effectively managed. Before that, the 291 Brigade was actually delegating power to Zhou Xiaoshan in charge of the lifeblood of the economy. Although he knew that the disadvantages were very great, he could only helpless due to the backward communication methods.

He asked Zhou Xiaoshan to discuss with Mao Xiuliang when something happened. In fact, Mao Xiuliang was in charge of the supervisor at Taiyu Technology, which was equivalent to the supervision stationed by the central government.

This method has very limited effect. Just like at the beginning of the dynasty, the center can maintain absolutely overwhelming strength on the local area and its control is stable. However, when the local area is corrupt and the supervisors and managers collude, the impact of the center on the local area will be limited to past dignity and can no longer be actually controlled.

Last time, Sun Yaohua was asked to take domestic accountants to check the accounts, which was the second layer of protection measures he set up. Through irregular random inspections, it was to determine whether the 291st Brigade's control over Taiyu Technology was weakened and whether the people below had begun to become corrupt. If he found signs, he would immediately take decisive measures without any mercy.

However, with the phone number now, he believes that Taiyu Technology is much less likely to be out of control. Ordinary people cannot accurately judge the change of the person below, but he is not an ordinary person! With the biological sub-brain emotional judgment module, any subtle changes in senior management such as Zhou Xiaoshan will be noticed and reacted immediately, including immediately drawing a large number of people to take over the company.

Zhou Xiaoshan didn't know about this and was still reporting to him seriously: "According to Bao Yaning's investigation, these pirated machines seemed to be exactly the same as our game at first, but after careful reading, I found that there were still a little differences. Koji Kondo, who jointly established the Tokyo Trade Import and Export Company with us, judged that the other party should have stolen our creativity, and then asked the programmer to redesign it instead of stealing the program content directly. After all, from April to late May, there were nearly two months... "

Guan Fei listened to him continuing to report in his ears, while his mind filtered and analyzed the information.

Pirates began to appear in late May, which shows that Japanese pirates are very determined and unscrupulous. They must have given up the idea of ​​cracking short-term programs when they discovered the difficulty of cracking, and organized programmers to weave new programs themselves according to the design elements of "Space Invaders".

"Space Invaders" is not a big game.

In this era, computer hardware itself is very weak, and ordinary commercial entertainment equipment cannot support large-scale program software. "Space Invaders" has only a total of 11,000 bytes in size. Of course, this is Guan Fei's powerful computing power and optimal design based on the biological sub-brain. They must not be able to achieve such a high compression rate, but the redesign is only 20,000 bytes.

"So how is the progress of the patent application?" Guan Fei asked calmly without being nervous.

He didn't expect much from patents either.

Patents are actually a kind of restriction on the backward countries by technology-first countries, and also an exploitation. Through patents, the cost of backward countries entering the field is restricted, and the cost difference is used to limit or even kill the other party.

Sure enough, Zhou Xiaoshan's report results were not optimistic: "The software patent application was directly rejected - both Japan and the United States, the situation was the same. Japan implemented a trade protectionist policy, while the United States believed that our claims were unreasonable. The program itself was based on actual algorithmic application, and the algorithm was equivalent to mathematical formulas and could not apply for patents. But at the same time, they did not say anything, indicating that although they did not accept our patent application, it did not mean that they would not use patents to protect computer programs in the future."

Zhou Xiaoshan's tone was filled with great indignation, and he was obviously extremely angry at the US and Japan's refusal to patent applications.

"Haha, this is like talking on both sides." Guan Fei laughed, not angry.

If there is anything to be angry, it is obvious that this is the case, and getting angry is useless. Using algorithms cannot be rejected as patents, but it leaves a hole to protect the country's software in the future. This is the correct choice that the country will make.

Therefore, running a country is the biggest business!

But he was not angry. More importantly, he was the one who pirated the first one! He pirated the future design of Japan Taidong Game Company in advance. The Japanese people who really suffered the loss were Taidong Company, not Taiyu Technology!

Anyway, it’s all a waste of money, so it doesn’t matter more or less.

"Can the arcade frame, internal layout, and game buttons apply for a patent?" he asked again.

"These are accepted as practical inventions, but not all of them are accepted. And they said they also need to investigate. If they receive applications from other companies in the near future, if it is proved that the other party's invention is before us, the patent will not be granted to us." Zhou Xiaoshan said angrily.

He had just arrived in Hong Kong and admired the prosperity of capitalism.

But through this patent application, he could see clearly that the so-called protection of intellectual property rights is actually a means. The ultimate goal is to maintain the leading position of a technologically advanced country and will not give other people the opportunity to catch up.

The so-called butt determines the head. Zhou Xiaoshan's favorable feelings towards advanced countries such as the United States and Japan were threatened, and his real interests were immediately turned into malice. Even the disgust arises from deception, which also brought a stronger emotional backlash, which made him extremely suspicious of the so-called justice and axiom claimed by these countries.

Guan Fei just smiled indifferently at Zhou Xiaoshan's anger.

childish!

Zhou Xiaoshan is still too naive. There is no truth in the world that is difficult for generations to be said. Even if the patent acceptance he complains about is actually an inevitable choice for the country to perform normal functions. If he can occupy the law in the future, he will also implement patents that are beneficial to him and even laws, so how can outsiders take advantage of it?

His name is Guan Fei, not Lei Feng!

"Then let's launch our improved version of the game. I believe this can gain another one or two months of advantage." Guan Fei pondered for a moment and gave instructions.

"It has been launched! After receiving feedback from Bao Yaning, we immediately replaced your updated chip. After the last batch of old game consoles were delivered on Tuesday, we fully produced new models and launched them to the market." Zhou Xiaoshan's speech was filled with a hint of pride.

"good!"

Guan Fei was overjoyed.

This is the real reason why he put Zhou Xiaoshan and others in Hong Kong. He needed to make a decision, and with the serious lag of the original information of the 291st Brigade, he would make a decision based on feedback, and the daylily would be cold.

Now Zhou Xiaoshan and others can make timely adjustments, which is very good. Previous exercises mean success.

There are good and bad decisions, this is a matter of judgment.

Dare to make decisions under pressure, this is the matter of courage and courage.

He can accept failure, and the future technology in his heart is so scary that it can withstand failures again and again. He firmly believes that no matter what failure, it cannot truly hit him. It is him, not others who will eventually stand on the top of the world!

He asked Zhou Xiaoshan and others to stay in Hong Kong in hopes that they had the courage to take responsibility and make decisions within their purview - whether it was correct or not!

No matter how stupid a person is, he can grow up with more experience. What he fears most is that he is a coward who has no courage. That is the real mud that cannot be supported by the wall.

Zhou Xiaoshan's sentence "They have already released a new version" made him feel very comforted and he felt that all his efforts were rewarded.

With super-temporary technology, teams that can resolutely implement his orders, and cadres who dare to take responsibility, what else can stop him from moving forward in the future?

patent?

Patents are nothing!

You like to use rules to limit your opponents. I can't play with you, but I will overturn the table! What's wrong with me if I don't have patents? I'll take the lead in any technology. Then I see what's the use of this patent law!

In the future, no one wants to rely on patents to suppress others. The future will be a world without patents! Everyone is standing on the same starting line to compete, compete for manufacturing capabilities, and compete for hard strength!

Who is afraid of whom?
Chapter completed!
