It's hard to be a good person, and it's hard to be a saint.

Shen Guanglin is going back to China. He doesn't care what happens to Bai Bing. It doesn't have much to do with him anyway.

There are many good-looking people, but he doesn't like them all.

Everything has its own cause and effect.

Five hundred times of looking back in the past life are exchanged for one passing by in this life, but if we pass by twice, it may be to send you in.

Shen Guanglin did not stay in Citiland for long. The reason why he was anxious to come back was because too many major events had happened recently.

Let's not talk about Taizong's southern tour, nor the restructuring of the People's Bank of China. One of them is closely related to him, because the "Patent Law" was promulgated.

This is what happened a few days ago.

In March 1984, the National People's Congress passed and promulgated the Patent Law.

Oh ho, another spring has arrived!

Shen Guanglin is no stranger to registered patents. He is one of the earliest people in China to profit from patents.

If Shen hadn't mastered the international patent, how could Takeda have cooperated with him?

Patent is a good thing. On the one hand, it blocks the commercialization of enterprises, but on the other hand, it does not block the process of scientific research.

Because there is such an article in the patent law of any country: the use of relevant patents for scientific research and experiments does not constitute infringement.

Therefore, the best way to break through patent barriers is to establish new barriers. In this way, if everyone infringes on each other, it is equivalent to no infringement.

Of course, patents are also a double-edged sword. When they block others, they sometimes block themselves.

Kodak is the best example. They were the first to invent the digital camera, but they also died on the digital camera.

In fact, before the patent law was implemented in China, Mr. Shen had already registered global patents for some products and technologies through an agency in Xiangjiang. Although the registration and maintenance fees were high, they were all worth it.

Now that the country has opened up the patent registration mechanism, he can be more confident and bold in applying for patents in the future.

Although it will take several years for real patent protection and attention to be effective, but if you take advantage of it first, others will not be able to take advantage of it.

At least, we still occupy the moral high ground.

Last year, he, Shen, just got a wave of dividends from trademark registration, and this year, another patent registration came.

In this era, as long as you can find it, there is gold everywhere.

During last year's wave of trademark registrations, Shen Guanglin disgustedly registered many trademarks that would be familiar to future generations.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, and Apple are all owned by him, and the "Great Wall" he is using is certainly no exception.

Shen Guanglin has thought about it, you can use these trademarks if you want, just pay for them.

However, this is just a thought.

Because, if others really use it, sometimes they don’t have any particularly good methods.

For example, there are too many companies called "Great Wall" now, and most of them are state-owned enterprises. Shen Guanglin simply can't compete.

As powerful as Shen Guanglin, he could only keep his head silent.

First, let’s pretend that these companies don’t exist. When they find out one day, they want to register the trademark, and then they find out, oh, it has been registered.

Do you want to die or not?

As for calling, whoever wants to call can do it. Anyway, the trademark is mine and you can no longer register it.

This time when Shen Guanglin came back, he brought back several of the latest computers from Citigroup. They were not PCs from the computer giant IBM, but the "Macintosh" released by Apple.

This computer was also the first personal computer in the world to adopt a graphical user interface. It was very user-friendly, subverting industry traditions, and it was also equipped with a mouse. It looked like the prototype of later computers.

Today, Steve Jobs is still a handsome guy without a beard. He is really handsome and looks like a movie star.

When Shen Guanglin was shopping in a store, he saw a demo advertisement featuring a beautiful girl holding a sledgehammer, and immediately bought a few units.

A large part of the reason why this Apple computer is so popular is that it has such a classic and good advertisement.

It's a pity that there is no Internet yet and you can't play League of Legends yet, otherwise it would be even more perfect.

Of course, you can eat chicken in this era.

Chicken eating is a popular game, popular all over the world, and has been popular for thousands of years.

Another reason why Shen Guanglin came back from Citigroup in such a hurry is that the name of their company was actually used by someone else. It is a technology company that makes computers, and the computer brand they developed is called "Great Wall".

The staff of Great Wall Electric are asking if we should sue them.

It’s better not to use it. If they want to use it, let them use it. It’s impossible for others to use the Great Wall longer than us.

If you have occupied this pit for a long time, it belongs to you.

The reason why they found out that others were using the brand name "Great Wall" was because there were reports in the media that a unit under the Computer Bureau of the Ministry of Electronics had developed a new computer product, and the product's name was "Great Wall 0520CH".

Shen Guanglin did not study computer science and did not know the development history of Great Wall Computer. He only knew that this computer company did not seem to have developed. On the contrary, the monitors they produced were quite famous.

Shen Guanglin didn't know that this was actually China's first self-assembled personal computer.

10M hard drive, 256K memory, 8-inch monitor, this configuration has exceeded the current IBM PC and NEC 980.

Moreover, it is equipped with a Chinese translation function, which is similar to the Chinese card that helped Shi Yuzhu make his fortune.

Nowadays, the hardware configuration of computers is really too low. If you want to use other functions, you need to add peripheral units. Hanka is one of the language conversion programs.

It was not until the Pentium 486 appeared that the computer hardware configuration finally improved, and the operating system became more powerful.

Microsoft integrated Chinese character processing functions into their Windows 3.2 operating system at no additional cost, so Chinese characters were eliminated.

Presumably, the fall of the giant and Lao Shi's first bankruptcy were not only due to building buildings, but also because Hanka could not be sold.

In fact, China has been studying Chinese character display for a long time, and the most successful person in this regard is Lianxiang.

Starting around 1968, Mr. Ni Guangnan, who later became an academician, began to study the associative Chinese character input method.

Last year, in 1983, they developed the "LX-80 Chinese character graphics microcomputer" using the Z80 chip.

At that time, when this device was new, Shen Guanglin, as a colleague who studied Chinese character input, joined in the fun and bought two of them, and he bought them with foreign currency, which could be regarded as supporting the national industry.

To be honest, our computer level is not lagging behind in this era, we just lack R&D funds, and many things will fall behind if we just leave them alone.

Since the 1960s, only a few countries in the world have been able to independently design and manufacture computers, and we are one of them.

Like the National University of Defense Technology, they have always had the world's leading computers. Even in later generations, Tianhe-2 is the fastest computer in the world.

The "LX-80 Chinese character graphics microcomputer" developed by Lianxiang last year received warm welcome from various units as soon as it was launched. They produced and sold more than 600 units that year, and Liu cadre of their computer institute was responsible for sales docking. and after-sales.

Since Shen Guanglin owned the Wubi Chinese Character Input Method here, they wanted to use it, but they wouldn't pay for it, so they came here often to grind it, and after using it for a while, they got used to it.

I didn’t give any money last year, but this year the input method has been patented. Will you give me money?

But Shen Guanglin said, let’s not ask for any money, let’s promote it for free.

In fact, sometimes free things are the most expensive, such as women.

I heard that Shen Guanglin's laboratory bought several different computers, with view windows that can play chess, draw pictures, and read documents.

People in the industry have spread the word like crazy, and everyone wants to see it.

It’s not surprising that Cadre Liu from the Computer Research Institute came over specifically to take a look.

Shen Guanglin is naturally not stingy, he can watch and play as he pleases, and if he breaks it down, we will still have new ones.

Of course Shen Guanglin knew that Cadre Liu was another historical celebrity, and a historical celebrity full of controversy.

"Lianxiang" Hanka was developed by Mr. Ni, and "Lianxiang" company also relied on this technology to make a fortune.

But after the company developed, the technical leader Mr. Ni was excluded from the company, and the technology company completely turned into a trading company.

However, there were so many computer companies back then, and they were almost all on the same starting line, including "Peking University Founder" and "Wudaokou Ziguang". Why did they succeed in the end? Naturally, there are inevitable factors for their development.

After playing around, it was time for lunch. Shen Guanglin treated him to a meal in the laboratory, and neither of them drank.

"Professor Shen, I heard that you are the chief scientist of Great Wall Electric?"

In fact, this title was given by Shen Guanglin to himself. Internally, he was called "Boss Shen", but externally, he was indeed the "Chief Scientist".

"It's just a title, it doesn't really matter."

Shen Guanglin is very humble, which has become his habit.

"I see that a TV set that is selling very well in Beijing recently is also made by your Great Wall brand. Is this also produced by your Jinmen Electric Co., Ltd.? We want to order a batch of computer monitors. I wonder if you can do it?"

Cadre Liu's words must have a purpose, not without aim. The monitor they bought from Bangzi now is valuable.

"Of course we can do it, but our TVs are not produced by the Jinmen company, but by Shencheng. However, we are in the same production system, so we can share what we have."

The TV production line is similar to that of monitors. They are all cathode ray monitors. Shen Guanglin even invested in a color monitor and color TV factory in Shencheng. After all, the arrival of the LCD era is still many years away, so we can wait slowly.
