Chapter 293 Patent trolls

  The sky in the east is slowly showing fish belly white, and people who have eaten kimchi began to go to work one after another.

   This is an island with many cranes on it, and countless behemoths, which are gradually formed here.

   If it is huge, the 40,000-ton heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser that has entered the dock is absolutely nothing, and the ten-ton and twenty-ton tankers are much larger than it.

  However, in terms of power, this warship is definitely the first.

  At this time, all the weapons on its front deck have been removed, and scaffolding has been set up on its bow, which looks like it will start construction at any time.

  At this time, several people walked behind the warship, their feet were stepping on the riveted deck, and they were communicating while walking.

   "We have replaced the purchased boilers, and the effect is not bad. As long as the remaining four boilers are in place, this warship will definitely be able to regain its strong power." Li Jinshan said to the people around him.

  Although this person is not wearing a military uniform, but is covered with the latest woolen coat, his walking posture and his rigorous movements all show his identity as a soldier.

   Only a long-term military career can form.

  At this time, the officer in plain clothes glanced at Li Jinshan, and then said, "When will the remaining four boilers be installed?"

"We have already placed an order, and it may take some time. After all, unlike this boiler, the remaining four boilers need to be newly produced." Li Jinshan said: "Anyway, we are also undergoing other modifications now. The entire modification program may last for one or two years, and the boiler will definitely be in place before the modification is completed. I also hope that the Navy can allocate funds to us as soon as possible.”

"No problem, the modification plan of this aircraft carrier has been included in our project this year. The modification costs you need, as well as the cost of this aircraft carrier, will be in place one after another." The officer said: "It's just that the current navy Still hesitating, because there are not many carrier-based aircraft for us to choose from.”

  Kimchi Navy’s carrier-based aircraft originally only had helicopters. Now, if they want to modify this aircraft carrier, they must have supporting carrier-based aircraft.

   What plane should they fly?

   "F-18, we can purchase a batch of F-18 from the United States. I believe that this aircraft will become the most powerful carrier-based fighter for our navy!" Li Jinshan said excitedly.

   Li Jinshan is very enthusiastic about the development of the kimchi country's navy, and he has long thought about it.

  Relying on their good relationship with the United States, they can obtain advanced weapons and equipment from the United States at any time. What the United States has, they can have.

"I heard that the Aerospace Industry Corporation is planning to import the F-16 production line from the United States. I think we can adjust it and introduce the F-18 production line. In this way, both the Air Force and the Navy can equip the F-16 production line." The F-18 fighter jet, this type of aircraft, is the most suitable choice for us. If the Air Force is not willing, we can also purchase it directly. This warship can operate up to thirty-six F-18 fighter jets.”

   While Li Jinshan was excited, a voice came from afar.

   "Minsk, oil leaks can occur at any time, and there is radiation! We protest against the dismantling of the Minsk!"

   "Boycott, we all boycott!"

   Looking from the high deck, it can be seen that a large number of people have gathered on the road outside their shipyard, holding small flags in their hands and waving them non-stop.

  When he saw these people, Li Jinshan's face became ugly again.

  Damn environmental groups! A bunch of lazy guys!

   These guys, are they really for the noble idea of ​​environmental protection? Hmph, only these guys know how dirty their hearts are! What is environmental protection is just a shameless excuse.

   What radiation! What kind of radiation can a boiler-burning aircraft carrier have? However, in order to exaggerate the threat of the Minsk, these **** environmental organizations actually described it as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the people who didn't know the truth were incited like this.

  When the Varyag was towed back, countless Chinese people were proud of it and couldn't wait to watch it become the first aircraft carrier of the motherland.

   Now, what about kimchi country? It is ironic enough that the people are actually opposing it.

"Damn guy, he will block the way of our workers while we are at work. Now, those workers who have not yet come to work have excuses to be late or even sneak away!" Li Jinshan's deputy also followed by cursing.

   At this moment, Park Douxuan came over with a gloomy face: "Report, the Norwegians are here, and they have filed a claim for infringement."

  "Norwegians?" Li Jinshan was confused: "Do we have any intersection with them?"

  “They said that the MOSS-type natural gas ship we are building has infringed some of their patents and asked us to make compensation. They came here today hoping to reach a settlement. If not, they will resort to law.”

   "Huh, these patent robbers, let's go over and have a look." Li Jinshan looked at the officer beside him: "Sorry, I'm sorry for the time being!"

  Li Jinshan walked towards the office with heavy steps.

  Recently, why are there always countless bad news waiting for him? What kind of **** infringement?

   "Mr. Li, hello, we are sent by Kvaerner Company, my name is Brad, our investigation found that the natural gas ship Mediterranee under construction uses our patented technology."

   "This is impossible. Your patented technology is all three or four MOSS tanks. Our natural gas ship has five MOSS tanks, which is different from your ship." Li Jinshan said.

"Mr. Li, you have already said that it is a MOSS tank. Since it is this kind of tank, it is related to our patent. Our company acquired the Moss Rosenberg Shipbuilding Company, including all its patents. As long as it uses a MOSS tank, then, It is our company's patent."

   "This is nonsense!" Li Jinshan was annoyed, because he was very annoyed because of the affairs of those environmental protection organizations, and now, he encountered such a group of patent hooligans again!

   "Cars still have four wheels, and I haven't seen Mercedes-Benz, which invented the car, charge patent fees to other car companies! This is patent blackmail!"

   "Mr. Li, we have evidence." Brad said: "The diameter of each tank in your MOSS tank natural gas ship is 40 meters, which is exactly the same as the diameter of our patented MOSS tank."

   "What kind of patent infringement is this? Our car wheels are as big as those of Mercedes-Benz cars." Li Jinshan was very angry and his tone was very unfriendly.

   "Except that the MOSS tank is exactly the same, the collection device below is also exactly the same, and the layout of the pipelines all violate our patent. Since you don't understand it well, let us introduce it to you in detail."

  Brad said, and opened a drawing.

   "Damn it, why do you have such a blueprint?" Li Jinshan looked at the overall design drawing in surprise, and was secretly startled. Could it be that the Mingzhou Group cheated him?

its not right!

   This idea flashed through my mind, and then it was denied. If the Norwegians wanted to claim compensation, they would definitely bring the Mingzhou Group along with them. This technology was obviously provided to them by the Mingzhou Group.

  A commercial espionage must be a commercial espionage!

  Li Jinshan thought that recently, several companies have been in contact with them frequently to discuss matters related to ordering natural gas ships. Of course, they will welcome them warmly. One of the companies even asked for drawings, which were just an overall design drawing, and they gave it.

  Who would have thought that the company was sent by the Norwegians as commercial spies!

"You don't need to ask about the origin of this drawing. I just want to know whether you built it according to this drawing. If so, then you have indeed infringed our company's patent. We are here this time. , is good intentions, as long as you pay compensation, we will avoid going to court to confront each other, and also avoid Dazhou Company from being discredited in the world's shipbuilding field."

   "Compensation? How much do you want?" Li Jinshan said.

   "Billions."

   "What, a billion? Won?"

"Mr. Li, don't be joking. In international cooperation, the unit is the US dollar." Brad said: "Since you have infringed our patent, you have to compensate us for the loss, and you have already received The order for six natural gas ships, the first two ships are currently being built, and you still need to re-introduce relevant patented technologies from us, and 5% of the price of each ship is the patent fee."

Five percent of the ship price is the normal price in the market. However, Dazhou Company has just started to build natural gas ships, and the investment is very high, so there is no profit at all. If the five percent of the ship price is given to Patent hooligans, then Dazhou Company will have to lose money!

  So, from the bottom of his heart, Li Jinshan is resistant.

   "We have already purchased the patent. We purchased the patent from Mingzhou Group. This has nothing to do with us. If you want to pursue the responsibility for infringement, then go to Mingzhou Group!"

  Pu Douxuan shouted.

  Hearing Pu Douxuan's words, Li Jinshan's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, what does this have to do with our side?

"Of course we are going to find Mingzhou Group, but after all, you have infringed our patent. I have already made a request to you on behalf of the company. If you don't agree, then we can only meet in court. We have With definite evidence, if it goes to court, we will ask you to stop this infringement.”

   What does it mean to stop? Of course, none of the six natural gas ships can be built! In this way, the compensation is definitely an astronomical figure!

   "Are you threatening us?" Li Jinshan glanced at Brad.

   "No, this is just a friendly reminder."

   "Hmph!" Li Jinshan looked out of the window, where a group of so-called environmentalists were still holding up flags and denouncing something. At this moment, his mood was extremely bad.

   "Our company has introduced the patent of Mingzhou Group. We build this kind of natural gas ship, which is justified. It is not up to you to point fingers. If you want to find it, then go to Mingzhou Group. It has nothing to do with us!"

   Li Jinshan made a decision, in his eyes, it is invulnerable, these patent hooligans! Even if they go to the court to fight a lawsuit, they may not necessarily lose. At worst, they can find a few lawyers to accompany them in the lawsuit. It is also very common to fight a lawsuit for three to five years.

   Li Jinshan sneered, sent these guys away, and then picked up the phone.

   "Hello, is Mr. Qin there? I'm from Dazhou Company, and I want to find Mr. Qin."

   "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin has gone abroad, and it will take a while to come back. Do you have anything to do?"

   "What, about patents? Please rest assured that there is no infringement of our patents, please rest assured."

   Putting down the phone, Cong Ju looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes.

   "Mr. Qin, I'm very surprised, why did the Norwegian company go to Dazhou Company for trouble instead of us?"

  The grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. When it comes to infringement, it is definitely our own side that comes first.

   "Because they already know that we have imported French patents, so even if they come to blackmail us, they will not get any benefits." Qin Tao said: "Besides, we have to thank our motherland."

   "Thank you for what?"

   "Because we are a country with imperfect laws." Qin Tao said with a smile.

  Lawsuits related to patents have never been won in China. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the Norwegians to go to the country of kimchi to extort patent fees.

  Cong Ju's complexion is complicated. What Mr. Qin said will always make people ponder for a long time. The more you think about it, the more you feel that Mr. Qin is unfathomable.

"Mr. Qin, in the future, we will have relevant patents, can we still make money lying down?" Thinking of the future, Cong Ju has some expectations. They are conquering related technologies. In the future, they will have a lot of patents related to natural gas ships. .

"It's a good idea. These patents are just means used by those developed countries to exploit us. We honestly serve them as a stepping stone at the low end of the industry and earn hard money. They are very satisfied. If it is our turn to charge them for patents, They'll be playing hooligans."

   "Then we..."

"We expect that our motherland will become stronger as soon as possible. Only when the motherland is strong will we stand up." Qin Tao said: "This also requires our efforts. The hard work of each of us will build the motherland. become more prosperous and powerful.”

  Cong Ju's eyes were complicated. At this moment, Mr. Qin's image became extraordinarily tall in her eyes.

   "Dazhou Company will definitely collapse this year." Qin Tao said: "Let's wait for the time being and wait for the need, and then suddenly attack."

  The tall image collapsed in an instant.

   "President Qin, next, are you going to lead the team to Anxi?"

   "Don't worry, I have to go to Lao Maozi's place." Qin Tao said.

  Go to Lao Maozi again? Cong Ju was curious.

   He promised some things from the Anxi people, and Qin Tao had to help get them. Being a second-hand businessman and making a lot of money is also for building the motherland.

A few days later.

  Da Mao Pacific Fleet Base.

   "Nicolas, my friend, how are you doing?"

   "That's right, very good. Last time we sold the Minsk for 80 million yuan, our life is finally much easier." Nicholas said: "Qin, this is all thanks to you."

   Without Qin Tao, 10 million would not be sold, just look at the price of the Kiev. Nikolai is very grateful to Qin Tao.

   "Well, Nicholas, my friend, I came to you this time for some other things."

   "If you need my help, just ask."

   "I need two hundred Scud missiles. Nikolay, can you get them?"

  The person Qin Tao is most familiar with is of course Nikolai, so he came to find him. However, the Scud missile is used by the army after all, so this is considered cross-military, and I don’t know if Nikolai has this kind of connection.

   "Two hundred? Of course no problem." Nicholas said: "However, isn't your country able to produce ballistic missiles yourself? Why do you want to buy them from us?"

   "Of course it's because the price is cheaper." Qin Tao replied.

   "The specific price, you can discuss it face to face, let's go, I will take you there, we have to go to the Amur region." Nikolai was very bold: "Zaytsev, drive out my Toyota car!"

   The transaction will be discussed in person, and after the event, Qin Tao will inevitably transfer the remuneration to Nicholas' account. The two are already very harmonious.

  A Toyota Land Cruiser appeared in front of Qin Tao.

  Everyone has their own preferences. For example, Qin Tao likes the big Mercedes-Benz G. Driving it to the Forbidden City is definitely a great sense of accomplishment. But here in Lao Maozi, especially in the Far East, there are a lot of island cars.

The Land Cruiser in front of me is the J80 model that only appeared in 1989. It is also known as the most powerful Land Cruiser in history. The overall front and rear axles, three locks, and the passability have been greatly improved. The reliability of the island country technology , and also played its fullest on this car, it can easily run to hundreds of thousands of kilometers without major repairs.

   "This car is not bad." Qin Tao turned around the car, and then said to Nicholas: "Big table, by the way, how did you get it here?"

   "It was given by someone else." Nicholas said.

  Facing Qin Tao, he didn't have to worry about anything, and directly told the source of the car.

"Last winter, just after driving back, there was a heavy snowfall. Anyway, there were many cars, and this car didn't move in the next few months. Until the snow melted a few days ago, this car I used it, and the quality of the islander’s car is really good. After the battery is removed and fully charged, it can be started successfully at one time.” Zaitsev sat in the driver’s seat and said with emotion.

  Qin Tao and Nicholas sat in the back, and three Zaitsev's men sat in the co-pilot and the last row respectively. This Land Cruiser is really capable of loading!

   "If you want to talk about the originator of off-road vehicles, it has to be Willys. Almost all off-road vehicles produced in various countries are descendants of Jeep." Anyway, sitting in the car is fine, so Qin Tao started talking.

In fact, the Bantam Company of the United States designed and manufactured the BRC40 (MK1), the basic model of the Jeep series that will be popular all over the world in the future. However, this company was not well-known. This is a sad story. "Learned" by Willis and Ford. Thus, Willys Jeep began to write the legendary road.

  As for the island country, it first obtained a Bantam BCR40 (MK2) left by the US military when it invaded the Philippines in 1941. Starting with this car, Toyota started his off-road vehicle road.

  In the 1950s, when the Korean War broke out in the Far East, the United States began to order equipment everywhere. This is how the island country’s industry developed. The U.S. military requested to order 100 off-road vehicles with performance no lower than Willys MB.

Toyota acted immediately, not only mapping the Willys MB model, but also came up with its own magic weapon: an 85-horsepower B-series inline six-cylinder 3.4L bottom cam engine, in a redesigned three-speed transmission With the cooperation, this car accelerates faster and has a higher top speed.

  Toyota's off-road vehicles started from this time.

   Just when Qin Tao was talking so much that the stars were flying, suddenly, the sound of brakes came, and everyone's bodies leaned forward.

  Zaytsev poked his head out of the car window angrily, and cursed loudly at the opposite side: "Bitch, a group of **** guys! Bah!"

  Qin Tao looked between the two rows of seats, saw the car passing them, and turned on the brake lights. The small circle and the trident logo in the middle are so clear.

  S600, Tiger Head Ben?

Just now, this tiger-headed vehicle overtook them from the side of their car, forcing Zaitsev to brake suddenly, otherwise he would crash into it. Therefore, Zaitsev cursed angrily after braking, it should be is very common.

   However, this obviously **** off the guy in that car.

   In Lao Maozi's place, running with a tiger's head is definitely a status symbol. People who drive this kind of car are definitely not easy to mess with.

Sure enough, as expected, the door of the car in front opened before it came to a complete stop. Two big men in black came out from inside. guy.

  The collapse of the Red Empire is equivalent to the redistribution of wealth, and it will inevitably be accompanied by violence. However, it is too much to do this because of a small friction on the road.

   "Varisi, Kassin, get out of the car!" Zaitsev shouted.

  The two people sitting at the back pushed open the tailgate and got down in response, with a clatter in their hands.

  The two big men in black were startled immediately. After a moment of hesitation, they quickly took their hands out of their clothes, threw the two weapons on the ground, and raised their hands above their heads.

   The guys they throw on the ground are absolutely nothing compared to the ones on the opposite side. As long as they dare to lift them up, they will turn into a hornet's nest.

   "Your Excellency Nikolai, I'll go down and teach them a lesson." Zaitsev walked out with the baseball bat under the driver's seat.

  The bodies of the two big men in black began to tremble.

   "We are under the boss of the villain! Please let us go!" One of them reported himself: "If something happens to us today, the boss of the villain will not let you go, ah..."

   There was a light click, and the guy who shouted had his leg bone broken by Zaitsev. After falling to the ground, he hugged his thigh and screamed.

  "The villainous boss? Go back and tell him, if you don't have eyes, I'll *kill his ass!"

   Zaitsev waved the baseball bat in his hand again.

   PS: One more chapter is still added today, a total of three chapters, but the hero of East China is a little worried. If there is a chapter that is not released, I will wait for the editor after 9 o'clock.
