Chapter 12 On Patents

The last week of November passed by. It was already Thursday when Yang Rui came to his senses. He had to prepare lessons overnight when he thought about tomorrow's class. He was so busy alone that he had to find an assistant or something. Yang Rui thought sadly. He prepared lessons until late at night. His eyes were still red when he woke up the next day. The school class was also very smooth. After class, Yang Rui went to the Science Instrument Museum, mainly to discuss industrial production with Zhong Guanguan, and then to collect resumes to see if there are any talents.

Zhong Guanguang had a very harmonious conversation with Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu was very happy that Chinese people could invent something that even foreigners did not have. Not only did he find a way, he also wrote to many friends and found a way. The letter also said: Now that Chinese people have learned this thing, it is a blessing for us Chinese. You should do your best to help.

When Yang Rui heard Zhong Guanguang talk about the situation on Mr. Xu, he thought that he could only wait patiently for the news. However, Mr. Xu's enthusiasm moved Yang Rui and couldn't help but feel moved: "Brother Xian Qian, Mr. Xu advocates that we find ways to act together. Whether it is successful or not, it is a friendship. Friendship is priceless. If you want to repay it, it is best to lend a helping hand when others are in trouble. You said that if we set up a chemical industry association and let Mr. Xu lead all your colleagues to the association, everyone in the association will take care of each other, unite each other, and educate talents and revitalize chemical industry. What do you think?"

Zhong Guanguang heard Yang Rui's imagination and nodded. His experience made him realize that when he was weak, it was better for everyone to unite. Nowadays, foreign goods are popular and domestic goods cannot resist them. All because their skills are not as good as others. "Good idea." He said, "We can ask Mr. Xu as the president and contact many colleagues, so that everyone can revitalize domestic goods together. OK. I will go to Mr. Xu's place in the afternoon and tell him these words, so that he can..."

Before Zhong Guanguang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Rui: "How can you not have a plan for going like this? First write down what you think, let's discuss and modify it together. After you have something rough, go to Mr. Xu, and then persuade Mr. Xu to be the president, and then hand it over to other colleagues for discussion. Finally, everyone will make an appointment to hold a meeting in Shanghai to announce the establishment of the association." Yang Rui learned from modern methods and wanted to establish a society first, so that if he did anything R&D in the future, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

When Zhong Guanguan saw that Yang Rui said it was reliable, he immediately went to write a plan. Yang Rui looked carefully at the resume sent. There was only one person who applied for the chemical engineer, an American named Wick McNeill. He had no experience in a chemical factory on his resume. He looked at the experience but he had studied chemistry in middle school or elementary school, so he could not be used. There were five people who submitted a resume. After seeing the age, they directly eliminated the two people in their twenties. The remaining three were middle-aged, and naturally they had no education. I was either scholars or juren in the Qing Dynasty, or graduates from elementary school, and a few years later. Two people had to wait for the accountants in foreign companies. The other said that although he was in a Chinese business company, he was also familiar with the art of Westerners' accounting, but there was no proof that it could be convincing. Yang Rui eliminated him.

Two days later, Zhong Tourism Association had finished the plan to discuss with Yang Rui and went to find Mr. Xu again. After seeing this, Mr. Xu thought that this was a good way to cultivate talents and revitalize domestic products. He immediately agreed to contact everyone with him. As for the position of president, he would never accept it. In the end, he had to persuade him and only agreed to be publicly recommended by everyone at the founding meeting, and if everyone was grateful, he would accept it. Seeing this, Zhong Guangui had to wait for everyone to recommend it publicly.

Yang Rui's life has become regular again these days. The itinerary of the day is like this: he gets up at six o'clock in the morning. If there is no class, he will stay at the instrument hall for two hours before going home. If there is a class, he will go to the science and technology hall until noon after class. At noon, he will eat in the teahouse last time, and feed the stray dog. The teahouse owner is very familiar with him. You must know that if you come here every day, you can't remember it. The dog is also smart. He waits here at noon. When he sees Yang Rui, he will always come up and wag his tail happily. Yesterday he followed Yang Rui to Ruyi, but Yang Rui didn't stop him, but he was afraid that Mrs. Huang would not like the dog and did not dare to bring it into the yard. In the afternoon and evening, he wrote in the room, trying to finish the two manuscripts early. That's two thousand yuan. The MSG factory here is waiting for money to put it into the pot.

There was no class this morning. Yang Rui and Zhong Guanguang discussed with Zhong Guanguang that he would set up the factory shelf first. Yang Rui's plan was to form a joint-stock company. The company raised 20,000 yuan in the early stage as the capital, and invested in the invention and production patents at 5,000 yuan. Among them, Yang Rui accounted for 4,000 yuan, Zhong Guanguang accounted for 1,000 yuan, and Yang Rui invested all the 3,000 yuan of the manuscript fee and then recognized 2,000 yuan. In this way, the total share capital of 20,000 yuan was left, and this 10,000 yuan would be a shortfall of 10,000 yuan. This would only win everyone's investment. If the capital for opening a factory is not enough at the right time, then you have to raise funds again.

Zhong Guanguang had no objection to the patent accounting for 25% of the shares, but he felt that it was inappropriate for him to take this thousand yuan. After all, he was just assisting Yang Rui. If Yang Rui had not done experiments in the instrument hall, there would be nothing he had done. Yang Rui knew his weight in his heart and emphasized that if it weren't for you, the progress would not be so smooth, and there would be many things that you wouldn't be able to do without you. After hearing Yang Rui say that Zhong Guanguang still did not agree that he could only occupy half of the shares. Finally, he decided to change the instrument hall to occupy half of the shares.

At the same time, Yang Rui also asked him to find Sheng Xuanhuai as soon as possible and take down the Chinese patent of MSG as soon as possible. Although there is no patent law at this time and inventions are not recognized by the state, the Ministry of Commerce is now in great influence, and the recognition of the Ministry of Commerce is basically equivalent to national recognition. In addition, the important thing is to establish a small company through the relationship between the Instrument Museum in Japan - in fact, it is enough to have a name and license, and then apply for the invention and manufacturing patent of MSG in Japan in the name of this company. In this way, you can first grasp the patents in East Asia first. As for European and American countries, you can only find a way later. In this era, applying for patents abroad has no protective effect on Chinese people. Yang Rui only needs this name - if he does not apply, he will be applied by others, and he will be even more miserable after a dozen lawsuits - the content of the patent is cost-free, and there is no need to write down the real thing.

As for the Instrument Museum, Yang Rui will discuss with Yu Huizu and Yu Zixun, hoping that they can invest. Recently, because of the cost of the experiment in the Instrument Museum, they have to wait for the accounting office to find all the expenses and pay the fee to the Instrument Museum. Zhong Tourism also agreed very much at this point, after all, the Instrument Museum is not his own. After all, Zhong Guanguang went there in a hurry and took away the project book and MSG samples written by Yang Rui so that he could find someone Sheng Xuanhuai.

.Yang Rui did not see Yu Huizu in the instrument hall, only Yu Zixun was there, so he wanted to talk to them tomorrow, and now he replied to a few selected accounts and asked them to interview on Tuesday next week, that is, at 8:30 am on December 23, the Western calendar. The American who pretended to be garlic also made an appointment on this day. The interview location was in the instrument hall. After sending the letter, he couldn't help but complain that there was no phone call in this era, otherwise he could experience the feeling of HRs in later generations teasing the interviewers through the phone.
