Director Ding followed everyone's gaze and happened to see Jiang Hua, a young man, walking up to him in a few steps.
"You said the secret was leaked, who leaked it, and what secret was leaked?"
Jiang Hua stood up straight and said to Director Ding: "That's what I said. To be precise, most of the participating manufacturers are leaking secrets, but they don't know it. This is not intentional leakage, but a cognitive deviation."
Director Ding's expression seemed to have softened a bit, and he asked: "Then, little comrade, tell me what's going on and what's the deviation?"
"Okay." Jiang Hua responded: "We don't have much dealings with foreign countries, especially in the economic field, so it is easy for us to confuse something. We who work in foreign affairs have more or less heard of this thing, which is called
patent."
Director Ding thought for a moment, then remembered the word, nodded and said, "I've heard of it, so what?"
"Today, I saw many foreigners constantly asking about workmanship issues when discussing business. Our salesperson was also honest. When he asked me, he said that although what he said was not entirely true, it might be an inadvertent remark.
This will expose process problems, shorten research and development time, and save money.”
Director Ding's face became solemn again, and Jiang Hua continued: "The most important thing is that if someone masters the technology, they will apply for a patent. At that time, production will need to be authorized by the patent holder. This authorization depends on
Whether they give it to you or not, you have to pay a lot of money in exchange."
Director Ding nodded: "Well, we must pay attention to this issue."
A young staff member said: "There is no such thing as a patent in our country. How dare he come to our country to collect money?"
Some people actually echoed: "That's right, how dare he come over to us and ask for money."
Jiang Hua said: "Yes, they can't get any money from me, but they can cause trouble to the merchants who buy our goods. Goods without patent authorization are not allowed to be sold. This lawsuit will be settled every time."
"What does that have to do with us? We sold the things and got the money."
"Hu Tu!" Director Ding scolded angrily: "Are you a liar? You just did a business once. This time people bought your goods and couldn't sell them. Will you come back to do business with you next time? Your reputation is ruined."
"
Director Ding looked at Jiang Hua approvingly, walked up to him and said, "What's the young man's name? Which department does he belong to?"
"Jianghua, Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Director Ding put his hands on his hips and said: "Very well, the question you raised is very important. All exhibitors will hold a meeting tonight to emphasize discipline issues. In addition, Comrade Jiang Hua, you have to write a report on the patent issue you raised and submit it."
Jiang Hua said decisively: "Yes."
Director Ding began to assign tasks: "Go and arrange things for the meeting, and arrange for someone to notify every exhibitor. Remember, all exhibitors must not be absent. After the exhibition ends today, the meeting will be held in the exhibition hall."
The staff were all moving. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the exhibition hall was closed, and the exhibitors stood in the open space one by one, neatly lined up.
Director Ding stood on top and said loudly into the loudspeaker: "We have a short meeting today. Although the matters are small, they are very serious. You must keep them in mind."
Someone below unscrewed the cap of the pen, took out a small notebook, and prepared to record.
Director Ding also saw it and said loudly: "Comrades who are taking notes, please stop taking notes. I am just giving you a reminder today. There will be reports to the superiors soon. When the time comes, a document will be formed and distributed, and you can study again."
The people below quickly put away their notebooks and pens and pricked up their ears to listen.
"You must remember what you are saying today. As the saying goes, teach the apprentice and starve the master. The products you sell are all for the country to earn foreign exchange. No one is allowed to disclose any data and information in the production process to foreigners, otherwise
He is regarded as an enemy and I will not be the first to spare him."
Someone raised their hands and asked: "Director Ding, is this necessary? Those countries are more technologically advanced than ours. Do we need to keep this secret?"
Director Ding glanced at him and said, "Comrades Jianghua, you answer."
Jiang Hua stood up helplessly and said: "It is very necessary. For example, calligraphy is the quintessence of our country. You have several manufacturers that make rice paper, but foreigners just can't make it. We don't talk about foreign laymen, just you.
Experts and papermakers should know that there was a kind of paper called Xue Tao Jian in history. Now the technology is more advanced than before. Have you made it?"
The paper-making industry lowered its head in shame, Jiang Hua continued: "Porcelain-firing companies should also know that firewood kilns are as green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as loud as a chime. They are moist, delicate and have fine lines. What you are firing now
come out?"
Just two examples will make people dissatisfied.
Director Ding then concluded: "So, don't think that the technology of these things we produce is backward. If it is backward, what are these people asking for? The more they ask, the less we can let them succeed."
Another person was so determined that he asked: "Director Ding, what should I do if someone is begging for nothing?"
"You just say that you only care about sales and don't know anything about craftsmanship. If you really want to buy your goods, you won't break the casserole with you and ask for the truth. Only peers would be so nakedly interested in your work."
After Director Ding said this, this short and concise meeting ended.
Director Ding did not forget to say: "Comrade Jiang Hua, your report must be written as soon as possible. I want to report it to the superior. This matter is extremely urgent."
"Okay, Director Ding, I'll take care of it."
Director Ding patted Jiang Hua's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Well done, let's go to dinner. You are the hero today. I'll let them add food."
As expected, the cafeteria has added extra dishes, a stir-fried crab with onion and ginger, and a plain-cut chicken, which are deep Cantonese three-flavor dishes. The crab tastes like crab, and the chicken tastes like chicken.
When several people were eating, they started chatting. Director Ding looked at Jiang Hua and said, "I didn't expect that young Comrade Jiang Hua is so knowledgeable and memorized. I have never heard of Xue Tao's Notes and Chai Yao."
"The boss gave me the award. I just read miscellaneous books."
Director Ding laughed loudly: "You are too humble as a young man, but what I didn't expect is that our ancient people were so skilled in craftsmanship that we still can't crack their craftsmanship now. It's amazing."
Jiang Hua said proudly: "Of course, our ancient flower growers were very creative and had many forward-looking inventions, much earlier than foreigners."
Director Ding's interest was aroused and he said curiously: "Is there such a thing? I have always been engaged in economic work and I really don't understand these things. Please explain it to me."
