As soon as Luo Ke and Kitchina walked out of the office door, they heard huge cheers from behind.
The industry-university-research system in Southern Africa ensures the interests of R&D personnel to the greatest extent.
For many capitalists, purchasing a patent is a one-time deal. They only need to pay a fee to buy out the patent. Compared with the profits generated by the patent, the buyout fee is very low and is completely disproportionate to the efforts of the R&D personnel.
.
Nyasaland is very mature in this regard. The 20% share guarantees the interests of the Sixth Institute and Feng Ding to the greatest extent, giving Feng Ding enough motivation to continue to improve the computer. This has a great impact on other staff of the Sixth Institute, and even
This is a huge encouragement to all scientific researchers who know this.
Today's hand-operated computers are very expensive. Don't underestimate the 20% share. Even if only 10% is given to Feng Ding in the end, it still represents a profit of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of rands per month. This is
Regarding the value of knowledge, only when the whole society deeply realizes that "knowledge is value" can the whole society form a pursuit of knowledge, culture, and science instead of other messy things.
When he heard the cheers behind him, Rock couldn't help but smile. Nyasaland's strength was accumulated bit by bit in this way. Civil servants are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death. It is true that the world is not peaceful, but
We cannot make the country rich and our people live and work in peace and contentment. Strong science and technology is the primary productive force and the driving force for the whole society to move forward.
Therefore, the pillar of the national economy should be science and technology, industry, and the selfless efforts of countless scientific researchers who work day and night.
Kitchina's understanding was not so profound, but while Kitchinna lamented Nyasaland's profound scientific and technological heritage, he was also interested in Rock's handling methods.
In the UK, even a promising practical technology faces many difficulties in its practical application. Not only is the government agency bloated and inefficient, but the rich people in the UK also lack the resoluteness of Rock. Those big nobles
They just want to keep their wealth and refuse any form of change, while those businessmen are busy fighting for power and profit with the nobles, which will definitely affect the development of the enterprise.
"This is why Southern Africa hopes to have greater autonomy. If the same thing is passed in London, it may not be possible in three to five months. It may even be possible in three to five years. Take what we have just said.
For all the computers I have seen, let alone three to five years, they may be replaced by similar products in three to five months. By then, the loss will not only be time and money, but more importantly, the loss in a certain industry may be
Dominance, and the resulting influence." Rock discussed the matter, and Kitchener also knew what the virtues of the British Parliament were. Those MPs could argue with peace of mind when the fire was not burning their eyebrows.
Even if the fire burns my eyebrows, as long as it's not my eyebrows that are burned, then there's no need to worry.
Kitchina also has a deep understanding of this issue.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Kitchener ordered 2 million rifles from southern Africa. This decision was not approved by Congress at the time.
Later, after the outbreak of the world war, the British Parliament accused the War Department of not making relevant preparations. Then Kitchener explained this matter in Parliament. At that time, more than 200 members of Parliament stood up and applauded Kitchener's foresight. The leader of the opposition, George A.
Sir Sir Arthur also personally expressed his gratitude to Kitchener.
As a result, before the world war ended, the British Parliament passed a number of bills and took away most of the rights from Kitchener.
Those members of Congress probably won't think about what the Secretary of War will do if we face another world war next time.
This is the gap between ideal and reality.
Kitchina remained silent. He knew some things, but he couldn't change them. The British Empire was now like a broken ship struggling in the stormy waves. Compared with the cutting-edge warships that were riding the waves next to it, it was really embarrassing.
sigh.
After Luo Ke and Kitchina left, Feng Ding immediately received congratulations from the researchers.
"Congratulations, Feng, you are going to be famous this time. This is an investment appointed by the Lord. Nyasaland Company will definitely pass it smoothly." Cumberland, the oldest researcher in the six institutes, laughed. Cumberland is
The German worked for the Nyasaland Automobile Group a long time ago and came to Nyasaland Heavy Industries after its spin-off.
Cumberland has always taken good care of these young researchers from the Sixth Institute, and the young researchers also respect Cumberland. Perhaps Cumberland's thinking is not as sharp as the young researchers, but Cumberland has rich experience and has never been stingy with young researchers.
The guidance of the researchers is considered highly respected among the six institutes.
"Being famous is for sure, the key is money, a lot of money, Feng Ding, you are really going to get rich this time -" A young researcher looked envious. Gaining both fame and fortune is the dream of all scientific researchers.
"You only know money, money, money. Work hard and do your research well. Maybe you can become the second Rudolf Diesel." Manan came over and asked people to go back to work. Rudolf Diesel was
The idol of all scientific researchers, with the diesel engine patent, Rudolf Diesel served as the president of the Polytechnic University and earned millions of rand every year.
After driving the researchers back to work, Ma Nan called Feng Ding directly to the office.
Only then did Ma Nan discover that Feng Ding's improved computer had not yet applied for a patent.
This was the mistake of the Six Institutes. Feng Ding may not have known the value of improving computers, but Ma Nan should not ignore it.
"It's all my fault. I will send a telegram to the legal department of the group later and ask the legal department to register the patent immediately." Manan made up for it. Nyasaland Heavy Industry produces hundreds of patents every year. In addition to applying for patents in the UK,
, relevant patents must also be applied for in other European countries and the United States, so as to ensure the interests of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.
Most scientists are not good at applying for patents, so Nyasaland Heavy Industries also has its own legal department, which is not only responsible for patent applications around the world, but also responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.
Nyasaland Heavy Industries not only produces armored vehicles and tanks, but also agricultural machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters. In the future, Nyasaland Heavy Industries will also be involved in other fields, and it is important to establish a complete legal department.
"Work hard when you go back, and don't let temporary success become a stumbling block on the way forward. You are only 18 years old, your future is limitless, and there will be greater success waiting for you in the future - you don't have to worry about the shares, Nyasaland Company
After investing, our six institutes may get about 20% of the income, 10% of which belongs to you. That will be a lot of money. Even if you retire, you will live a worry-free life, but I think
That's not what you want." Ma Nan called Feng Ding over to get a vaccination. Having a large amount of wealth at a teenage age is not necessarily a good thing. If not guided correctly, a genius may be lost to everyone.
.
"Director, please rest assured that I will continue to work hard." Feng Ding is a smart man and knows what to do.
Just kidding, people who master calculus at the age of eight should not be described as ordinary geniuses.
"That's good. Are you still living in a single apartment now? Go back and pack your things and prepare to live in a staff apartment. If you need it, the office can arrange service personnel to take care of your life." Ma Nan was very considerate.
, since Feng Ding has registered his name in front of Luo Ke, there is no harm in giving him some benefits.
"Director, don't treat me like a child who can't take care of himself. I'm already an adult, okay?" Feng Ding refused special care. The staff apartment was not considered special care, and Feng Ding had to pay for it himself.
"That's good, that's good. Let's go back and work hard. Do you want to rest for a few days first?" Ma Nan was smiling with a smile on his face. Looking at Feng Ding now, he was like looking at a money-giving boy with a money tree in his arms.
Nyasaland Company is very efficient. On the day it received Manan's report, it sent people to the Sixth Institute for coordination.
Nyasaland Company is also concerned about the patent issue of improved computers. Although the Sixth Institute has not applied for a patent for the improved computer, the influence of the improved computer has extended beyond the Sixth Institute. If someone registers in advance about the improved computer,
patent, then investment in improved computers would be delayed.
"I have entrusted the group's legal department to apply for patents related to improved computers. This was invented by Feng Ding, a researcher at our institute. No one except us is qualified to apply for patents for improved computers." Ma Nan was furious. He only now truly realized the patent.
importance of the problem.
"Mr. Feng, we all know that what you said is true, but it is useless. The patent office does not mean whoever invents can enjoy the related benefits. Whoever applies for it is the patent owner." Senior executive of Nyasaland Company
Manager Charles was also helpless. This kind of thing has not happened before. Every year, there are lawsuits arising from patent ownership in the courts of Southern Africa.
Over the years, lawsuits related to patent ownership have been common around the world. The most famous one is between American scientist Nikola Tesla and Italian electrical engineer Guglielmo Marconi, regarding the ownership of radio patents.
litigation between.
This patent was also long-lasting and had a great impact. Everyone knew that Nikola Tesla was the first to complete the invention of radio, but Marconi was the first to apply for a patent on radio.
Because of the dispute between Nikola Tesla and Edison, the U.S. court eventually awarded the ownership of the radio patent to Marconi, which directly led to Nikola Tesla losing financial support from Morgan and going bankrupt. This is the beginning of a generation of myths.
end.
What Charles and Manan didn't expect was that the worst situation had indeed happened. When the group's legal department submitted a patent related to improved computers to the patent office, they discovered that the relevant patent had actually been applied for by Rand Bank.
Rand Bank!
This is really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple——
