Chapter 1192 Patent Barriers(1/2)

The more I thought about Norixiong Oga, the more I felt that Fang Chen was trying to be mysterious and bluffing.

They hold all the patents on moving image compression and transmission technology, and most of the experts in the moving image expert group are theirs, not to mention they also hold the laser head and the movement, two indispensable parts of a DVD player.

Two key technologies are missing.

And what does Fang Chen have?

Semi-incomplete, dynamic image compression and transmission technology that cannot even play a complete video without their patent?

Two sole members of the Moving Image Expert Group?

As for the technology of manufacturing video disc players, that is even more of a joke. The technical content of video disc players is really too low. Their engineers made a sample in three months, but mass production is still a problem.

After all, mass production is not just a market for the technical department, but also involves production lines, employees, procurement of raw materials and parts, and inspections.

There are no problems with the supply of parts. There are even many parts that are produced by no other manufacturer in the world besides themselves.

Could it be the Huaxia Market?

Although they admit that Fang Chen has great influence in China, they may indeed ban them, otherwise their products will enter the Chinese market.

But if China wants to develop, it must attract foreign investment and the management methods and technologies of international enterprises. To obtain these, China must become more open.

And if we can casually use administrative means to prevent the entry of some foreign companies' products, then how can China have the face to say that it has become open and free and has a market economy system?

Not to mention, China also wants to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, so naturally it would not dare to do something that violates the spirit of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

And according to his understanding, probably by the year after next, China will significantly reduce tariffs on a number of foreign products, many of which are electronic products, including televisions, computers, etc., in order to gain access to tariffs and trade.

General Agreement Qualifications.

It can be said that when the time comes, there will be a massacre of Chinese companies by international companies like them, with heads rolling in and blood flowing all over the ground.

After all, you must know that the reason why some Chinese products can still survive in China is because the products of international companies are too expensive.

However, apart from their cost and pricing factors, that is, how much money they want to make from this product, the most important component is the tariff.

Tariffs are one of the taxes collected by China. Although they will be included in the selling price they sell to consumers, after all, they will not get a penny of this part of the money.

In other words, the tariffs made their products more expensive out of thin air, but the increased money did not fall into their hands, but into the hands of China.

Therefore, tariffs are usually used to protect local companies in the country where the tariffs are placed.

But what is even more disgusting is that countries where tariffs are placed in China may collect their tariffs, and then use this tariff to subsidize Chinese companies, allowing Chinese companies to thrive and become stronger to compete with them for the market.

Their money is being taken away to subsidize their enemies, and the tariffs will also increase their selling prices and weaken their market competitiveness? There is simply no more disgusting tax than this.

According to China's current tariff levels, as long as the tariffs can be reduced, the selling prices of their products can also be reduced a lot while keeping profits unchanged.

What this brings is a surge in competitiveness, and their products will greatly encroach on the Chinese market and squeeze the living space of similar Chinese companies.

So? Norio Ohga thought about it over and over again. He didn’t even know what Fang Chen could have that could threaten him?

Unless Fang Chen plans to use his influence in the United States and Russia.

Then he really has to kneel down and call daddy.

But so far, he has not seen that Fang Chen has any plans in this regard. Instead, he has been talking about business, but his attitude is too arrogant, domineering and wanton.

Looking at the expressions of Norixiong Oga and others, Fang Chen shook his head with a sigh on his face. He really couldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.

He waved his hand. Wu Maocai took out a thick document from the document bag in his hand and walked directly towards Norio Ohga.

Looking at Wu Maocai? And the document that almost hit his face? Norixiong Ohga was a little angry and shouted sharply at Fang Chen: "Director Fang, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes, patted his head, and said apologetically: "I forgot, forgot, this was my mistake, I forgot that Lord Dahe is from the East Japan.

He doesn’t understand English very well, Erfu, please give him a piece of Japanese food.”

As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, Oga Norio's face instantly turned the color of pig's liver, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Fang Chen with embarrassment and anger!

He was angry because Wu Maocai almost threw the document in his face, not because he couldn't understand the English on it.

He is a chief musician who graduated from the Munich Conservatoire. He often flies company planes to various places to attend business events. He brags about his roast beef in front of others. How can a person who can conduct many internationally renowned orchestras not understand English?

The result was great, but Fang Chen used the topic to his advantage and was severely humiliated.

With a cold snort, Norixiong Oga glanced at Fang Chen out of the corner of his eye, and then picked up the Japanese document Wu Maocai had brought for him and looked at the company.

He wanted to see what magic weapon Fang Chen had come up with to make him speak such arrogant words.

If it's not of much use, then you can't blame him for taking back all the old and new grudges!

The worst case scenario is that all the three million families who bought the Optimus DVD player will give up!

But if you want him to let go of how many of Qingtian’s patented technologies have entered international standards, don’t even think about it!

Putting aside these random thoughts in his mind, Norio Ohga lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand.

This doesn't matter.

Big beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, his eyes were bulging, and thin red blood threads were winding and crisscrossing like tree roots. His two eyes seemed to be about to jump out, and his wrists were even more so.

Trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that Norio Ohga didn't speak for a long time, and instead looked like a ghost, as if he was possessed by a ghost, Albert couldn't help but look at the document in Norio Ohga's hand.

But what caught his eyes was a piece of Japanese text. He didn't recognize it, and it didn't recognize him either. He was so anxious that his heart was scratching his head, and he was in agony.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, "Damn Norio Oga, he can't even understand English!"

If it wasn't for Norio Ohga's poor English, Fang Chen would have changed it to a Japanese version. If it wasn't a Japanese version, how could he not understand it?

So Norio Ohga is the one who is wrong.

Seeing Albert scratching his head and scratching his head as if on pins and needles, Fang Chen couldn't help but chuckle and signaled Wu Maocai to give Albert another portion.

After getting the English version that he was so fascinated by and longed for, Albert thanked Fang Chen with some embarrassment.

He had long wanted to ask Fang Chen for help, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't open them.

Albert looked down and instantly fell in like Norio Ohga. His face was hideous and terrifying, as if he was watching a thriller.

At this time, the curiosity of everyone present was aroused, and at the same time, their hearts dropped, and they felt as if their eyes were shrouded in darkness.

With Albert as a gem in front of them, many people originally wanted to wait for Fang Chen to take the initiative to send them documents.

But after waiting for two minutes, seeing that Fang Chen still didn't pay attention to their plan, he couldn't sit still and couldn't help but wink at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen burst into laughter while watching this. He really felt like he was watching a Chaplin revue from the silent film era.

But the problem is, it goes without saying that Norio Ohga is the main target of his participation in this meeting, and this Albert is also another giant of the moving image expert group, a representative of Philips, and the rest of them,

What else?

Really unable to bear it any longer, some people had no choice but to get up and leave the table, walked to Wu Maocai and whispered.

Seeing that it was indeed possible to get the English version of the document from Wu Maocai, everyone couldn't sit still at all. One by one, everyone imitated the situation and lined up to go to Wu Maocai, where they sat in rows and picked up the documents.

Originally, some people wanted to wait patiently for others to finish reading, and then borrow other people's books themselves, so there was no need to look down upon them.

But no matter what, after getting each one, they hid it to themselves, looked at it for themselves, and no one wanted to share it.

As a result, a group of people fell into a state of petrification.

I don't know how long it took, Norio Ohga woke up first, with a complex expression on his face, looking at Fang Chen with surprise and a hint of fear in anger.

For more than ten seconds, Norio Ohga asked in a gloomy tone: "Director Fang, do you really think that just getting a DVD player patent certificate can make us surrender? You have to know that if we don't give Yu Qingtian the authorization, Qingtian will still

Can’t make a video disc player.”

Well, that's right, what Fang Chen took out was the patent for the invention of the video disc player.

Moreover, Fang Chen not only registered the invention technology of video disc players in China, he also registered invention technology patents for video disc players almost everywhere in the world where patents can be registered.

It can be said that in order to register these patents, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, which when converted into Chinese currency, is more than three million.

After listening to Taylor's report on registered patents, Fang Chen finally understood why Jiang Wanmenn in the past and present had no intention of registering a patent for video disc players.

In addition to not paying enough attention to it, I also feel that the patent is useless in China, and I am skeptical about whether the video disc player can sail abroad and break out in foreign countries. The most important thing is that the patent registration fee is too damn expensive.

The more than three million he spent to register the patent did not include the salaries and travel expenses of Taylor and many employees and legal staff in the entire overseas office. It was only paid to the patent offices of various countries.

Moreover, some patents can be mutually recognized between certain countries due to treaty relationships. In other words, patents registered in the United States can have the same effect in the United Kingdom, saving a lot of costs.

Otherwise, plus the salaries and travel expenses of Taylor and others, let alone three million, there is a question whether it can be stopped at six million.

Wanyan is definitely not as powerful as Qingtian, and it has so many offices overseas. It can only be completely entrusted to some patent agencies in Xiangjiang or the United States.

This cost will go up in an instant. If you want to register the same patent as the Qingtian DVD player, don't even think about it.

After all, agencies also need to make money.

And with ten million, wouldn't it be better for Wan Yan to give each of his employees ten big fat pigs?

Why spend money on a patent that is of little use to Jiang Wanman?

Of course, the reason why I spent so much money was mostly because of Fang Chen.

Fang Chen requested to register too many patents related to video disc players. In addition to the internal principles, installation positions and functions of various parts, etc., Fang Chen also registered thirty or forty patents for various types of video disc players.

Patented, there are square, round, flat, ball-like, it can be said that there are all kinds of weird shapes.

Otherwise, the patent registration fee alone would not be three million.
