Chapter 526 Who cares who you are, don't try to take advantage of it!
When You Yuanshan heard what Lin Zhen said, he immediately smiled and said: "We want to go together, and I think I am a little too sensitive. It seems that this is really possible."
Lin Zhen said: "It has just been reformed, and a lot of information is not transparent and asymmetrical. Take this time as an example. If we didn't have a good relationship, you wouldn't have notified me specifically. I guess when the subsidy comes down, your building
It’s impossible for me to even know about the completion of the factory.”
"It's true. If I hadn't told you specifically, you wouldn't have known about it until a second solar water heater supplier appeared on the market."
"Therefore, there is a risk of being exploited. We are not afraid that he will come to invest in our mainland, but we are afraid that he will deceive us and run away."
The reason why Lin Zhen is worried about this is not because he thinks the worst of others.
This kind of thing is not new.
I remember that when I was a child, probably in the early 1990s, there was a cheat-and-run incident in Lin Zhen’s hometown.
His hometown is an ancient cultural city with many places of interest.
At that time, there was a big boss in the south who wanted to invest in an ancient cultural tourism project in his hometown.
As a result, after putting up a large shelf next to the historical site, we started to apply for subsidies. After the subsidies were provided, the investors disappeared.
Naturally, the work on the large shelf was not started, and it took a year or two to dry before it was dismantled.
In the summer, Lin Zhen rode his family's tractor into the city to sell melons. Every time he passed by, he could see the abandoned shelves.
With the vague memories of his childhood, Lin Zhen was naturally more alert to this kind of thing.
It just so happens that You Yuanshan is also a shrewd person and has taken this into consideration.
"Uncle You, how much money is this investor planning to invest, and how much money is he planning to apply for?"
You Yuanshan said: "I heard that by investing 500,000 yuan and applying for another 500,000 yuan in subsidies, a total of 1 million yuan can be used to build a solar energy factory."
Lin Zhen frowned slightly, not only could it be built, but it could also build a large-scale factory.
A million dollars in 1979 is not comparable to a house and a car a few decades later.
This investor really wanted to find a bargain, especially when he had conquered both the coating machine and the glass tube production line.
As the saying goes, the first three steps are difficult to overcome. It took more than ten years to overcome the production technology of double-walled glass tubes.
The coating machine took two years to manufacture under the complete drawings provided by the company and the personal supervision of senior leaders.
Moreover, Lin Zhen paid an additional RMB 200,000 for the development of the first machine.
Now that his first batch of orders have not been fully delivered, he is already preparing to imitate them, which really makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
If a factory were built to make solar cookers, Lin Zhen would not even take a look at it.
But if he wants to imitate the solar water heater, Lin Zhen must find out who is so able to control others.
The core technology is still in our own hands. Without the coating process, the solar water heater is just a decoration.
The only company in the mainland that can manufacture coating machines is the Second Machinery Factory in the capital.
His order for ten units has not yet been completed, and Lin Zhen does not believe that this so-called Xiangjiang investor can buy the equipment!
Even if he could buy the equipment, he wouldn't be able to learn the coating process from his own side.
The collector tube uses a multi-layer metal powder coating process. The engineers in the R&D department and the workshop technicians have signed confidentiality agreements on how to mix and sequence the materials, so they cannot be leaked casually.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen became even more interested in this investor. I really don't know if he has coating technology.
"Uncle You, regardless of how much he invests or how many subsidies he applies for, find a way to ask him if he has mastered the core technology. If he doesn't have the technology, the 80% achievement will be unreliable."
"Okay, I'm going to talk to the leader right now. Actually, what I'm worried about is that the leader will apply to the superiors and ask for your technology. As you know, there is no such thing as a patent now."
Lin Zhen nodded and said: "I understand this, so you don't have to worry. I have two empty workshops now and lack equipment. If the machinery factory really builds it, it must be given to me first. Even if this investor is
If he is a real man of action, he will have to wait until the year after next to give birth."
"Well, just wait for my news."
After hanging up the phone, You Yuanshan hurriedly went to find his leader.
Lin Zhen could only put this matter aside for the time being. After reminding him, it was up to him to see how the southern town would handle it.
We are still busy producing 14,000 solar water heaters here. If we don't expand production, we won't be able to deliver them in the Year of the Monkey.
Just as Lin Zhen hung up the phone and was about to go to the workshop, Su Yumei ran over.
"Lin Gong, our international patent application has entered the advanced stage. The international community is coming to conduct a preliminary review of the vacuum tube coating technology. I just received a notice that the specific time is determined by us. When do you think we will let them come?"
Lin Zhen said happily: "The sooner the better, we are always ready for a preliminary review."
"Okay, I'll reply to them right away."
Regarding the matter of applying for international patents, Lin Zhen had no control over it and left it all to Su Yumei.
Over the past few months, the patent matter has been completed with an international search and international publication.
After passing the preliminary review, it can be implemented in various countries. If a foreign factory wants to use this technology, it will have to pay money to obtain authorization.
This technology is currently used in the coating of solar collector tubes, but will be used in other industries in the future.
As long as you are coating vacuum glass tubes or metal tubes, you have to use this existing technology, otherwise you have to reinvent and design a new technology.
This technology will earn no less money than solar water heaters in the future.
Lin Zhen has experienced the dilemma of being choked by others and unable to develop.
Therefore, in this world, he must master core technologies as much as possible and not be trapped by others.
Take the solar water heater as an example. Among the many technologies, he only applied for one vacuum tube coating technology.
Just this core technology can keep the leading position of solar water heaters.
Even if there will be a large number of solar water heater manufacturing factories in the future, the right to speak in the entire industry will still be in one's own hands.
Soon, Su Yumei received a reply that the international patent preliminary inspection team would arrive in the capital in three days.
They seemed very interested in Lin Zhen's solar water heater.
All matters related to receiving the preliminary jury were left to Su Yumei.
Lin Zhen's arrangements for the two assistants Su Yumei and You Fengxia were very appropriate.
One is in charge of the factory and the other is in charge of public relations, which saves me a lot of energy.
You Yuanshan called again the next day.
"Lin Zhen, I mentioned it to the leader. I originally thought that after you left and another investor would come, he was very happy. But after hearing what I said last night, he attached great importance to it, and suddenly he was not so happy."
Lin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's too difficult to lead. Let's see how it goes this time. We have an obligation to help make suggestions, so I have to remind you."
You Yuanshan said: "Indeed, as subordinates, if we find any abnormal hidden dangers, we must remind them."
"By the way, have you seen the investor's secretary?"
"No, the secretary has returned to Xiangjiang, but the investor called and said he would come in person next time. It will only take ten and a half months. I will ask him clearly in person then."
"Okay, you have to ask Uncle You clearly when the time comes, and you can't let him take advantage of you."
Lin Zhen instantly felt relieved when he heard that the investor would come in person next time.
I thought it would be easier to talk about it since I would come in person.
I originally doubted whether it was Li Huaide who escaped, but since he dared to show up, it means he wasn't.
Unless, those who come are not real investors.
Let’s talk about it later, maybe it’s too sensitive.
There are many people named Li in the world. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Li Huaide may not have the courage.
No matter who he is, as long as he doesn't have any skills and no money, he must be here for free, and we can't let him succeed.
…………
Soon the day came for the on-site inspection by the international patent preliminary investigation team.
Xu Damao and Su Yumei went to the airport to greet him together.
It happened to be morning when they arrived, and they immediately followed Xu Damao and Su Yumei to the factory.
Lin Zhen, Lou Xiaoe and their second son Lin Jia greeted them at the entrance of the solar energy factory.
A total of five people came, three men and two women. Su Yumei and You Fengxia could both act as translators, and Lin Zhen could talk directly to them.
After mutual introduction, Lin Zhen learned that four of the other parties were preliminary investigators for international patents.
Another person came specifically to inspect solar water heaters.
This man's name is Daniel, a business manager of an e-commerce trading company in the beautiful country. He has a keen sense of business and happens to be in a relationship with a woman who is part of the preliminary investigation team.
I heard that I was coming to Xia to review a patent, and I also heard about solar water heaters, so I came with them to inspect.
He felt that this was a rare opportunity, and he had long wanted to come to the newly opened Xia Kingdom to see the market situation.
The preliminary inspection went very smoothly. Lin Zhen's factory has started formal production. The coating technology has matured and is completely consistent with what was written in the application form.
"Mr. Lin, the preliminary investigation report will be released within ten days, and then patent authorization can be carried out in various countries and regions. It is a pleasure to work this time. Thank you for your reception."
Lin Zhen said: "Thank you for coming. We will definitely cooperate again in terms of patent licensing in the future."
"That's great. If you need a patent attorney, we'd be happy to work with you."
Daniel is not very interested in patented technology, but he is full of curiosity about solar water heaters.
"Mr. Lin, electrical appliances have not yet become truly popular in human society. How did you come up with the idea of bypassing electrical appliances and utilizing solar energy?"
Lin Zhen said: "There must be pathfinders. During the first great industrial development, the mainstream machinery in human society was still steam. At that time, there were pioneers who pioneered the electrical field. Now we have entered the electrical age, and there are also
There is a long way to go. Even if solar energy cannot become the main productive force of human society in the next ten or even hundreds of years, I am still willing to explore. After all, if human civilization wants to enter the next level, it must fully
Harnessing the energy of the star in which it is located.”
"Ah! I didn't come here first and heard such a magnificent blueprint for the future. I believe that as long as there are people like you among humans, civilization will develop rapidly."
"Haha, thank you. I think you came to us with the preliminary review team not only to take a look at the solar water heater, but also to listen to me talk about my vision for the future? Why don't you discuss with your boss whether to place an order?"
