Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Friday, April 8th.

    ??At 12 noon, Eastern Time, after more than ten hours of boring flight, Xiao Qi, who set off alone, finally arrived in New York, the heart of the American empire.

    People who have never been to the United States will think that the United States is full of super cities, and every corner is a super city agglomeration like the Capital City, Oriental, and South Bay.

    In fact, there is almost only one true super city in the United States, New York. Even their capital, Washington, D.C., is not a super city. It is just a land mass combined by a wide administrative district.  There is no such density of architecture and population as New York, or even the Capital East.

    The United States is about the same size as China, but has only one-fifth of China's population, and most of it is in plains and hilly areas. Therefore, there are many places for them to live, and there is no need for everyone to crowd together in the city.

    It's just that New York, the world's financial, cultural and entertainment center, has so many people gathered together. The rest are scattered in various small cities in the United States, with a population of 20,000 to 30,000. Compared with the tall and large cities prevalent in China,  , A comprehensive urban structure plan is actually not the same approach.

    New York is a city with a very tense rhythm. The most famous one is of course Wall Street, which will become notorious in the future. The various financial traps flowing out here directly trap people all over the world and make it difficult to even get up.

    Deep down, as an engineering PhD graduate, Xiao Qi is a little wary of various fraudulent financial methods. In his view, no matter when, people can only progress through technology and industry.  , those virtual finances will be spurned by everyone sooner or later.

    For example, now, the elites of Wall Street are already carrying out one conspiracy after another, and the crisis is imminent. However, except for a very few people who know clearly, even these elites themselves are addicted to the "games" they have developed.  Inside, I can't extricate myself.

    Xiao Qi is not that great. He will rush to the U.S. government to tell them what the global financial crisis will look like in the future, because if he does that, the best outcome for him will be to be locked up in a mental hospital for research.

    Moreover, from the analysis of some experts later, Xiao Qi even knew that behind Wall Street, there was a vague shadow of the U.S. government. In this financial crisis that swept the world, it was impossible to say that the U.S. government's ass was clean.  I don¡¯t believe any ghosts.

    So, Xiao Qi was just passing by.

    There is no direct flight from China to the place he wants to go, and it happens to be not far from New York, so he chose New York to settle down.

    In fact, in seven or eight years in the United States, Xiao Qi basically never left Southern California, let alone New York, which almost had to cross the entire United States to reach it.

    He didn¡¯t even leave the airport, he went directly to the American Airlines counter to apply for a ticket to Washington.

    Some people say that the United States is a country on wheels. Xiao Qi thinks it is true because almost every household in the United States has a car and likes to travel around in a car.

    There are very few tolls on other highways. I'm afraid the toll ratio is less than 10. All road maintenance costs, etc., are already included in the price of gas. Therefore, even if Americans' favorite pickup truck consumes a lot of gas, they can still afford it.  Come on.

    But at the same time, it should be said that the United States is a country that rides on airplanes.

    Because almost every American town you know with a population of more than 50,000 can be reached by plane. This makes China, which has almost one airport in each province, extremely ashamed.

    In addition, there are many domestic airlines in the United States, and fuel prices are shockingly cheap. With so much competition, the fares are also shockingly cheap.

    Precisely because their air and land transportation networks are so developed, it is very convenient for Americans to go anywhere, and there will be no delay in time.

    Xiao Qi came to the United States mainly for two things. The first thing is naturally the most important thing is to get his own closed operating system. The second thing is what he has to do now - go to the Carlisle area of ??Alexandria, Virginia.  , go to the US Patent and Trademark Office there and apply for several important patents.

    ??You may not be familiar with Alexandria. In fact, you only need to remember that it is close to Washington, a little south of Washington.

    Most of the government agencies in the United States are in Washington, but they are not close together. They are scattered around.

    For example, the headquarters of the Patent and Trademark Office, which is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce, is already in Virginia, but in fact, it is only about an hour¡¯s drive from the White House in Washington.

    Xiao Qi likes to play with electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets, so he also knows that in a few yearsSince then, the so-called patent disputes have been overwhelming. With this killer weapon, Apple has swept away Samsung, HTC, Motorola and other companies. Among them, Samsung even offered a compensation of US$1.2 billion with tears in its eyes.

    " Xiao Qi wants to make tablets and mobile phones, but he will never be able to overcome the many patent traps.

    In previous lives, foreign high-tech companies had already occupied every aspect of the mobile phone and tablet computer industries through thousands of patents, making all mobile phone and tablet computer manufacturers in China look like a giant.  It's like I've fallen into a silk hole and I can't get out no matter what.

    Just like what many Chinese companies do, if you don¡¯t strive for something, you will end up finding that most of your hard-earned money is earned for others.

    In order to make his electronic empire smoother, the young man was already preparing for what he was going to do now from the moment he decided to make a tablet computer.

    ¡°In his suitcase, there were only one or two sets of clothes, and the remaining more than 500 drawings, involving 120 patents, were all prepared for this patent application.

    When it comes to applying for a patent, people may think that it is very mysterious and high-tech, and you have to be a genius to apply for a patent.

    But this is not the case. According to internationally accepted patent laws, patents are usually divided into three categories: invention patents, design patents and plant patents.

    The powerful electronic category companies naturally take the first two items, such as Apple, Nokia, and Motorola, which are doing this.

    Xiao Qi studied precision machinery, which is completely unrelated to electronics. Therefore, in terms of technology, even if the two geniuses Edison and Tesla were combined and possessed, he could not keep up with tens of thousands of scientific researchers.  Decades of accumulation.

    But the reborn ones have huge advantages, and their foresight in some aspects is absolutely unparalleled in the world.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
