If those who studied computer science in the 1980s had the opportunity to study in the United States, they would not miss it.
Han Shaobai was very nostalgic. He felt that the institute had recruited him and treated him well, so he should not have just left. Later, he took Sun Weihong with him and discussed with Sun Dahai, planning to work at the institute for three years and then return.
Walk.
Now that his aunt has come forward, what else can Sun Dahai do but agree to it? However, Sun Dahai still has to think about finding a project for him, lest he become a good old man in the institute and help others everywhere, which is a thankless task.
Cao Yong's call on his birthday gave Sun Dahai a hint of inspiration. Liu Yang's electronics factory produces video recorders. VCDs are too advanced and they probably can't be made yet. But video recorders with karaoke functions may not have appeared yet.
Sun Dahai first contacted Han Shaobai, told him his idea, and asked him if he could do it somewhere.
At this time, domestic computer majors actually taught software and hardware together, which was like combining the two majors of electronic technology and computer programming.
Adding the karaoke function is nothing more than adding a track splitting function and a synchronous input function for selecting audio tracks to the original design of the video recorder. At the same time, the synchronous input microphone signal must be merged with the selected audio track signal, and some
Audio optimization processing.
Designing something like this is still very simple for Han Shaobai. At most, he can find someone who specializes in audio from the institute to cooperate with him to complete the design.
Sun Dahai originally wanted to wait until Han Shaobai came up with the design, and at the same time the institute organized production, he would authorize Liu Yang's factory to work on the project together. However, Han Shaobai expressed different opinions.
It turned out that their research institute had encountered similar things before.
The director of their research institute and most of the researchers are quite high-spirited. Hanka can be produced by itself or even find connections to sell it, because it is a computer accessory and is considered a high-tech product.
Even if the video recorder has a karaoke function, it is just a household appliance. For a group of scientific researchers, they would not be willing to let them engage in the production of household appliances.
This reason was really powerful, and Sun Dahai was speechless.
Only research and development, not production, as long as you are happy.
Sun Dahai thought for a while, changed his perspective, and asked Han Shaobai what he wanted to do with this project.
Sun Dahai gave several methods. The first method was to pay a sum of money as a foreign businessman and find Han Shaobai, a researcher designated by the institute, to do the design.
The second method is the same as the Hanka project. Han Shaobai applied for project approval within the institute. He had to develop the design after funding was obtained. After completion, the patent was registered, and foreign investors came to buy out the design drawings and patents.
Sun Dahai never thought of leaving the patent ownership to the research institute. Although the country promulgated the Patent Law last year, it is of little significance based on the current patent awareness of the Chinese people, so it is better to take it seriously to avoid trouble.
Han Shaobai thought about it and chose the first method. This was the simplest.
Sun Dahai was noncommittal.
If there is a patent for karaoke, Sun Dahai might be interested in dim sum, because the future market prospects of karaoke are very broad.
Unfortunately, the real inventor, Osa Inoue, did not apply for a patent at the time, and it was soon copied by many companies. Therefore, no one can even apply for the lowest-level patent for karaoke.
As for the video recorder with karaoke function, you won’t earn much money by patenting such a design. The asking price is too high, so the counterfeiters can simply spend some money to redesign it to bypass the patent barriers.
Therefore, licensing the use of this patent at a low price will be the only way out.
Now that it was agreed, Sun Dahai started looking for someone to do the project. The person in charge of the mainland project was Dai Wenpeng from the project investment department of Future Investment Company.
Sun Dahai found him on the phone, told him the situation, and asked him to handle the project. Dai Wenpeng had helped a lot with the opening of Sewijinghao Hengshan Road store, and was very familiar with Shanghai City and Han Shaobai.
Sun Dahai talked to Cao Yong again, and once the design draft is released, he will immediately register the patent in major markets around the world.
At the same time, please Cao Yong tell Liu Yang that there is no problem if the factory is located in Wanwan, but it is best to register a superior company of the factory in a third country or region to control the factory.
In this way, his products can be sold to mainland China through third-party channels, such as companies like Huanyu Trading Company.
Later, Sun Dahai no longer paid much attention to this matter, because Sun Dahai himself did not want this project, but wanted to give it to Liu Yang as an opening gift.
Later, Sun Dahai seemed to have heard about the subsequent development. Dai Wenpeng spent 35,000 US dollars to win the project, and the company spent several times the price to register patents in major markets around the world.
In the end, the company transferred the design drawings and patents to Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company for one dollar.
Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company is a company newly registered in Hong Kong by Liu Yang after listening to Sun Dahai's words. Xinyuan Electronics Factory in Wanwan became its wholly-owned subsidiary.
…
Sun Dahai stopped paying attention to this matter. He didn't expect that the product would be released so quickly.
Li Yue told Sun Dahai that Xinyuan had quickly produced a hundred video recorders with karaoke functions, and equipped them with original Japanese Sharp TVs, **L speakers, and dual microphones to form a hundred complete sets of karaoke
OK equipment, shipped to Xiangjiang.
This is a Spring Festival gift from Liu Yang to you, so we all discussed it and decided not to tell you yet, but to give you a surprise.
Qiao Hongwei and Wu Dawei left thirty sets with them, and the rest were shipped to the capital. As a result, they were one day later than you and missed your departure.
Huang Feifei sent a truck after you to deliver four sets, which arrived at the base yesterday afternoon. I left two sets here, and the remaining two sets were loaded into the truck.
"Uncle Liu Yang, why are you so polite?"
Although he said this, Sun Dahai knew in his heart. The total of these 100 sets of equipment would cost at least more than 100,000 US dollars.
You know, currently in the international market, video tape recorders and large-screen TVs are not cheap.
Moreover, Liu Yang probably learned from Chef Cao and Cao Yong that these things are not easy to buy in China, so he sent them here like this.
This gift in return was really not light, and Sun Dahai was secretly grateful to Liu Yang. If such a gift was given to a related unit, it would not only be appropriate, but would definitely be welcomed.
Putting down the phone, Sun Dahai ran out. After all the ingredients, kitchen utensils and tableware he wanted were moved out, he climbed into the bed of the truck.
The goods in the innermost compartment of the truck looked like they were destined for Gao Hongjun's place. They were all rice, flour, grains and oils, as well as frozen raw pork and fish.
There were also two large wooden boxes covered with thick quilts. The driver came back at this time and said to Sun Dahai and Hu Cheng: "The two boxes are full of fresh vegetables. We need to find a place to put them today. They can't be frozen."
Outside."
Vegetables? That's easy. The vegetable cellar has its place. Hu Cheng helped them put two large boxes of vegetables into the vegetable cellar, and at the same time took out the fish pieces that were put in yesterday.
