    After explaining clearly what had to be done, Zhang Zhihui and Huang Minmin began to act separately.  What Zhang Zhihui needs to do is submit the patent application as quickly as possible.

    This is not difficult for China today.  The International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property established a branch in China last year, that is, in 1982. Zhang Zhihui only needs to submit the information and the results will come soon.  Domestic patents are easy to obtain. After all, Zhang Zhihui is also a member of the system and specializes in this industry. What's more, he is working for Liu Dong, which is very efficient.

    ¡°But international patents are not so easy to handle. If you have to follow the traditional Paris Convention approach, then you don¡¯t know that the day lilies will be cold until the end of the year of the monkey.  Therefore, Zhang Zhihui used the PCT route, that is, he submitted an application written in Chinese or English directly to the China State Intellectual Property Office within 12 months from the priority date. Once the international filing date is determined, the application will be filed under the PCT  All member states have the effect of a regular national application from the international filing date.  The applicant must submit translations of the application to the patent offices of the countries where the patent is intended to be obtained within 30 months from the priority date, and pay the corresponding fees.

    The advantage of doing this is that it is fast.  For Liu Dong now, although the foreign exchange payment for patents is a headache for him, it is not that important compared to time.  Especially if you want to get the patent before those companies send representatives to negotiate, the time is quite tight.

    Especially for the American emperor, only inventors can apply for their patents, which made Liu Dong's eggs shattered.  But there was no other way. Liu Dong had no choice but to accept whoever was the best in the United States. However, in Liu Dong's heart, he secretly made up his mind to add more conditions when the patent in the Americas was authorized.  If your country causes trouble for me, I will cause trouble for you. Let¡¯s see who is in trouble in the end.

    Just like that, after more than a month of running, the patent application was approved, and Liu Dong had the confidence to negotiate with those foreigners.

    The two companies that heard the news also sent representatives to discuss the matter of technology licensing.  One is Volkswagen of Germany, while the other is Toyota of Japan.

    Speaking of the public, who in China in the 1980s doesn¡¯t know this?  Even twenty years later, Volkswagen's Santana was also one of the common cars on the road.  Volkswagen accounts for a large proportion of the development and promotion of domestic private cars.  Although after the 21st century, Japanese cars began to squeeze the German car market, Volkswagen still has very good sales and ownership in the country. Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi is still the official preferred model. Therefore, Volkswagen  It plays a decisive role among domestic automobile companies.

    ??And Japan¡¯s Toyota is also a giant. It is an industry owned by Mitsui.  In the 21st century, it has become the world's largest automobile manufacturer.  Liu Dong was really surprised that these two companies, which were equivalent to giants, came to discuss business with Liu Dong's company.

    He originally thought that although this technology has a very important position in the automobile industry, automobile companies like Volkswagen and Toyota should not get involved with him.  After all, these two companies are automakers, not specialty steelmakers.  Although his technology is indeed used in automobiles, after these two companies took the technology back, they still had to find steel companies to produce it. Their coming seemed a bit unnecessary.

    But in any case, since there is a company coming to discuss cooperation, it is a good thing, which means that the patent fees will flow into his pocket.  Therefore, Liu Dong attaches great importance to the representatives of the two companies.  We made a special trip to book a conference hall in the Beijing Hotel to discuss this matter.

    As for why he didn¡¯t entertain these two distinguished guests in his company, it was because Liu Dong felt that the company was equivalent to an empty shell.  Even the office is rented and the house is an old house. Although it has been renovated, it is a bit of a loss when negotiating with representatives of these two companies. It seems that my company is not strong enough and will appear very weak during negotiations.  , has a great impact on the final effect.

    At the entrance of the Beijing Hotel, Liu Dong led a group of seconded elites to personally greet representatives from Volkswagen and Toyota at the door.  At 9:30 in the morning, four Volga cars arrived. From these four cars, two groups of people came out one after another.

    The group of people in front are tall Europeans with fair skin.  But the group of people behind are yellow people.  Needless to say, those tall Europeans must be representatives of Volkswagen.  And the people behind are definitely Japanese.

    As for why they took the Volga in the Soviet Union, it was because Volkswagen had basically settled the negotiations with the central government to build a factory.  But Volkswagen's cars have not yet started production, and it is inconvenient for them to ride in the Hongqi car, so they can only ride the Volga imported from the Soviet Union.

    The European guy in the lead has seen Liu Dong¡¯s photos.When he saw Liu Dong standing at the door to greet him, he didn't feel any surprise. He stretched out his hand lazily, shook Liu Dong's hand, and then said: "Mr. Liu, you are very lucky. Because you invented  A very meaningful thing for the automobile industry, so I am here. I hope there will be a good result today."

    After saying that, without waiting for Liu Dong to answer, he withdrew his hand and led a group of people into the Beijing Hotel arrogantly.

    Seeing a group of big noses leaving, the group of yellow people behind also walked up to Liu Dong.  Compared with the arrogance of Europeans, the Japanese's superficial humility is enough to make anyone have no ill feelings towards them.

    The man at the head looked to be in his fifties, about the same age as Liu Dong¡¯s father, Liu Shengli.  But facing Liu Dong, this man in his fifties actually bowed to Liu Dong formally and said: "Mr. Liu, please forgive us for our presumptuous visit. The main reason is that your invention is so great."  , it is definitely a new revolution for the automobile industry. Please allow me to express your high respect on behalf of Toyota."

    Listening to this, it makes people feel as comfortable as possible.  Even Liu Dong, who has seen the market, has a great impression of this old guy.  Compared with the arrogance of the Germans, the Japanese, who know the inside story of the country, obviously do better.  If Liu Dong was really a person who only looked at the surface, he might have signed a contract with the Japanese right away.

    But Liu Dong was no young man. He shook hands with the old Japanese man calmly and invited him to accompany him.

    By the time a group of people entered the conference room, the Europeans were already sitting on one edge of the large square table in the middle, led by the translator.  Although Liu Dong was dissatisfied with the German guy's tone, he still didn't say anything. After inviting the Japanese Toyota representative to take a seat, he also led others to sit at the table.

    As soon as the leading European guy saw Liu Dong sitting down, he began to say impatiently: "Mr. Liu, as a representative of the public, I doubt that you have come up with such good steel, because just before, one of my  German friends said that their research institute has developed a new generation of tungsten steel and manganese steel technology. And the technology they researched and the technology you presented are obviously the same technology. Can you explain what is going on?  Son?"

    Hearing this, Liu Dong understood why this German guy was so sarcastic and arrogant when he met him.  It turned out that his skills overlapped with those of his friends.  In his imagination, he copied his friend's technology.  Although the German guy's guess was definitely correct, Liu Dong, as a reborn person, would not admit it just like that.

    So, Liu Dong looked very excited and indignant, and said: "Hello, sir. I'm very sorry, because you didn't introduce yourself, so I still don't know your name, although it's very embarrassing.  Sorry, I have no choice but to call you sir. You said that your friend's research institute has also studied this technology. So what evidence do you have to prove that I copied them? Have they applied for a patent? Or have they already mass-produced it?  This kind of steel? Oh, by the way, I just heard you say that your friend's technology is still in the research institute? Don't you think it is very irresponsible to joke in such a serious place?  What?"

    "Let's not talk about the patent issue. Our products have already been mass-produced, while your friend's products are still in the laboratory. Such a comparison makes me feel that your accusation is reversed. When it comes to plagiarism, it should be  Your friend is plagiarizing. Unfortunately, I really don¡¯t understand why Volkswagen would send you, a man who confuses right and wrong, to preside over negotiations. Doesn¡¯t it mean that Volkswagen has no sincerity at all and is here just to show off?  Is it plagiarism by you Germans? If so, then I admit that you have succeeded. You have successfully turned something that was originally a shame into something that is just, bright and can withstand the test."  Liu Dong said the following words to the group of Germans, not just to the leader.

    Hearing Liu Dong speak like this, the German who took the lead was stunned.  He didn't expect Liu Dong's answer to be so sharp.  The originally arrogant face suddenly turned extremely pale.  He could fully imagine how he would be punished if this matter spread.

    Not only will Volkswagen despise him, but the entire Germanic nation will also regard him as a shame.  Because based on the above dialogue, we can infer who is plagiarizing whom?  And he defended that shameful friend even though he was clearly wrong.

    ¡°Moreover, at such a time of multi-country negotiations, such inappropriate words were said.  He believed that the Japanese who had the same purpose must be laughing in their hearts now. His stupid words just now put the public in an absolutely disadvantageous position.

    What he said just now was actually said deliberately to suppress Liu Dong¡¯s arrogance.?'s.  As we all know, German materials science is very advanced in the world.  However, such an advanced country was surpassed in a material science topic by a poor and backward country like China.

    With such a thing, he, as a representative of the public, naturally said such words in a very unhappy situation.  Unexpectedly, Liu Dong would seize on this topic and launch an irrefutable counterattack against him. Is this really something a scientific researcher can do?  Did he also take debate as an elective?
