Bai Zirui pointed to a computer sitting in an office and said, "This computer is more powerful than an ordinary personal computer. It uses Motorola's latest 6 MHz MC68000 processor! This computer

It is also equipped with the company’s self-designed CAD development software to assist engineers in circuit design and other aspects of work!”

In fact, this workstation computer developed by Dingtian Company is still very immature in design, the computing performance is not ideal, the cost is high, and the Unix operating system developed to support it does not run smoothly, and it is far from reaching the standards that can be introduced to the market.

Bai Zirui is not discouraged. At least Dingtian Company has taken the first step in independent research and development. With the continuous investment in research and development funds and overcoming technical difficulties one by one, new products will one day become technologically mature.

The entire inspection process of the inspection team went very smoothly. Since everyone learned that Dingtian Company is a company with monthly sales of over 100 million yuan, the entire inspection team's view of Dingtian Company suddenly changed. Everyone thought that games were

Computers are just children's toys and not considered a big industry, but the money-attracting ability of the games developed by Dingtian Company makes no one dare to look down upon them any more.

How many electronic companies in China can compare with Dingtian Company in terms of output value? What’s more, they make a lot of real money from Western countries.

When the inspection team was about to leave, Minister Wang said to Bai Zirui: "Comrade Bai, after visiting your company, I feel a lot of emotion. I think we have a very good foundation for cooperation and exchange. When I go back, I will report it to the superiors."

Report the situation, and if the higher authorities allow it, we will also adopt a model of cooperation like the three universities in Hong Kong."

Bai Zirui was waiting for his words and said with a smile: "Minister Wang, don't worry! If your superiors agree, our company will be very happy to cooperate."

After seeing off the mainland university delegation, Bai Zirui convened Dingtian Company's management and executives for a closed-door meeting to discuss cooperation with mainland universities and scientific research institutions.

Bai Zirui distributed the relevant data collected to the executives participating in the meeting and said: "Although the overall level of mainland's electronic technology industry is relatively backward, it has hundreds of universities and hundreds of scientific research and design units.

, more than 100,000 professional engineering and technical talents.

If these technical personnel can be used by our company, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the company's scientific research competitiveness."

John Chambers said: "Boss, these are just data on paper. Except for you and Mr. Xu, our company does not understand the actual situation in mainland China. If we make investments rashly, it will be very risky."

Maybe it's all in vain. And even if we want to cooperate, we shouldn't cooperate on such a large scale."

John Chambers first expressed his opposition. In his view, although the mainland has a large population base and more relevant talents, they have been out of touch with the world for a long time.

He feels that Dingtian Company's current R&D investment is a bit too aggressive. In his opinion, Dingtian Company is based on the arcade industry, but various subsidiaries of the group are currently developing five or six projects.

Among them, the Walkman of Dingtian Electric Co., Ltd., which is making rapid progress, has been put on the market and has brought huge revenue with its amazing sales volume, which has made the company profitable.

Dingtian Software Company has just launched an office software to the market, and its sales volume has just begun. The money-grabbing giant game company has only launched "Mario Brothers" on the market during the year. It is far from being able to compete with rival companies in launching it in one year.

Comparable speed to dozens of new games.

Great Wall Cube and "Tank Battle" can be successful, but it does not mean that the next "Mario" will continue to reap glory.

No matter how rich the company is, it cannot spend money like this. Although Dingtian Company has strong profitability and abundant cash flow, what if the next new game "Mario" is not as popular as expected, and the Great Wall Cube and

The two old games "Tank Battle" have passed their peak sales period, and the company's cash flow will soon dry up.

In the view of John Chambers, Dingtian Company is now like a raging fire cooking oil. Although it seems to be blooming, it is already in danger. If projects such as home video game consoles can still be considered to build a solid foundation in the industry, investment

For example, electronic laboratories and semiconductor laboratories are completely expanding blindly.

Now, what Dingtian Company wants to develop are relatively cutting-edge projects such as semiconductors and computer software development. The mainland will definitely not be able to meet Dingtian Company's requirements. Even if they want to cooperate, they can only be selective.

Bai Zirui understood the hidden meaning of John Chambers' words. Due to some special reasons, there was a gap in scientific research and talents in the mainland, and because the matter was so big, it also created some bad impressions on foreigners.

However, the mainland's scientific research capabilities are not as bad as others imagine. On the contrary, the older generation of scientific researchers are still the backbone. Don't underestimate the abilities of these people. They just lack understanding of the latest technology.

Executive Vice President Xu Zhihao said: "Bai Sheng, what President John said makes sense! The political system in mainland China is completely different from that in Xiangjiang. There is no perfect law to rely on, especially the mainland does not have laws and regulations to protect intellectual property rights. Even if our company has

Scientific research results obtained through cooperation with mainland universities or scientific research institutions may also be infringed, and the company will not be able to obtain benefits.”

The country's first "Patent Law" was created because when Prussia was negotiating with the Prussian Volkswagen Group to jointly establish the Shanghai Volkswagen Company, in order to protect its intellectual property rights, Prussia strongly urged the mainland government to speed up the revision process in time for 19

Promulgated in March 1984.

Bai Zirui said: "It doesn't matter even if it is infringed by mainland companies. For a long time in the future, our Dingtian Company's main markets will be Europe, the United States and Japan. As long as we can collect the international patents for relevant scientific research results, even if we lose the mainland

The market is also completely acceptable."

Bai Zirui never considered how much patent fees he could receive in China in the 1980s. So what if the "Patent Law" was promulgated! For a long period of time, domestic companies that should infringe rights still infringe, and even some companies

And moral kidnapping allows you to license the patent to the public for free!

Xu Jingli asked: "Zirui, how do you plan to cooperate with mainland universities and scientific research institutions?"

Bai Zirui replied: "We mainly cooperate from two aspects, talent exchange and project commissioning. The first point of talent exchange is that I hope to make a long-term investment.

Relying on the semiconductor laboratory and electronic laboratory, we give certain quotas to relevant mainland universities and research institutes every year, and invite them to send some outstanding young and middle-aged scholars and professors to Hong Kong for one to three years of academic exchange.
