As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 35 Patent Licensing
Lei Jun thought: "Do you think I don't want Kechuang Biotechnology to give us half a year?"

Compared with Yan Yongsheng, who specializes in technology, he understands better how great an advantage half a year is.

"It's totally unrealistic. I don't have the final say over Kechuang Biotechnology. Kechuang Biotechnology is entirely Zheng Li's one-man company."

"It's good enough that I can buy you three months."

"Also, Lao Yan, try to keep the news secret. Kechuang Bio's samples will pass through customs and arrive at the company today. This is the most important task for the company from now until the research and development is completed."

"You can freely transfer staff within the company, and the company will pay you overtime pay according to your overtime hours."

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Only by paying enough salary for such difficult work can the enthusiasm of employees be mobilized. It is pure giving up to mention ideals and beliefs at this time.

It is useful for a company to raise this in its early stages because there is ample mobility between superiors and subordinates, and everyone will be able to see the room for advancement when you raise this.

When it comes to a company of Dami's size, if you keep talking about ideals, you'd be treating your employees like slaves. We're all just workers, so being practical is more effective than anything else.

One thing Huawei does very well is that although overtime is overtime, he does not play tricks on employees when it comes to employee treatment and pays them the amount they deserve.

Many companies on the market claim that they want to learn from Huawei's wolf culture, but the result is that Huawei's overtime culture is not as good as the treatment in state-owned enterprises. It seems that the boss wants to take all the benefits.

"Finally, this is an order, not a negotiation. Old Yan, you have to find a way to do it."

Yan Yongsheng nodded immediately and said, "I guarantee to complete the task!"

After arranging the work with Yan Yongsheng, Lei Jun also had his mission, and he planned to go to Pengcheng in person.

The brain-computer connection chip designed by Zheng Li is mainly based on the modified PCB module of TGAM (ThinkGear Asic Module).

Shenzhen Nan Circuit in Pengcheng is the leading domestic PCB manufacturer. Lei Jun plans to go to Pengcheng to find Shenzhen Nan Circuit and reach a strategic cooperation so that Shenzhen Nan Circuit can start designing and developing production lines for customized PCB modules now.

If it was just the research and development of a customized PCB module production line, Lei Jun would just send his men to do it. He also wanted to lock in all the production capacity of Shenzhen Nan Circuit's related PCB modules for at least the next three years.

One step faster, every step faster.

Dami’s information advantage did not last long, as many of its employees came from manufacturers such as OV and Huawei.

For example, there is an engineer who jumped from OPPO to Xiaomi. He is a technical backbone. After joining the brain-computer connection development project, he posted on WeChat Moments every now and then, with content similar to the following:

"Our future is the sea of ​​stars!"

“We’re making a product that’s never been made before.”

"The next generation of rice mix will be a groundbreaking product"

If a person blocks his colleagues in the company on WeChat Moments like this, they won’t know that he posted these things, but his former colleagues from VIVO will come and ask about it, especially his former leaders from VIVO.

Leaders are generally more sensitive to this kind of thing, and they will find time to get the news out of you over a meal together.

There are many similar incidents, because it is impossible to keep secrets when there are thousands of people involved in the project.

Soon, friendly competitors got the news that Ke Chuang Biotechnology had developed a brain-computer connection chip that could be used commercially.

Domestic mainstream mobile phone manufacturers took action immediately after hearing the news.

Zhao Ming of Honor even led the team personally. At this time, Honor had already separated from Huawei, and Huawei sold Honor as a whole to a company in Pengcheng, which was an enterprise absolutely controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Pengcheng City.

In other words, Honor is now a pure state-owned enterprise.

Zhao Ming was very angry because his subordinate Guan Haiming from the public relations department had previously received a product introduction from Kechuang Biotechnology, but he read it himself and did not report it to his superiors.

His source of information came from the head of the industrial design department.

"Why didn't Kechuang Biotechnology report its product introduction? Are you too busy with work? So you don't have time to pay attention to these things?"

Zhao Ming took the head of the public relations department to Gusu, and on the way he couldn't help but give him a lecture.

You have to know that Rong Yao had just left Hua Wei, and Zhao Ming was about to make a career, but his subordinates were making things difficult for him.

"Science and Technology previously invested in the company through brain-computer connection technology and established DingTalk Technology with Dami, Tencent, and Ali. They said they had developed commercially available brain-computer connection technology and wanted to discuss cooperation with us."

The first partner of DingTalk Technology's brain-computer monitoring device was not one of these large domestic manufacturers, but Microsoft.

Affected by the epidemic, many Internet companies in Europe and the United States require working from home. Microsoft plans to give each employee a brain-computer monitoring device so that everyone can work freely from home.

All you have to do is work twenty-four hours a week using the brain-computer monitoring device.

How did the 24-hour work week come about? Microsoft has always wanted to change the five-day work week to a four-day work week, and Microsoft Neon has taken the lead in changing to a four-day work week.

Then, minus the two-hour lunch break, the total working hours is six hours from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, so the total working hours per week is twenty-four hours.

"You should at least report it, instead of just throwing the other party's explanation documents aside on your own initiative."

Guan Haiming also had his reasons. Honor only became independent from Huawei on November 11th. The independent public relations department had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for him to report every piece of information to the top level.

More importantly, Ke Chuang Bio's products are to B rather than to C. Most of the people who truly understand this company are practitioners in the biomedicine field, and Guan Haiming doesn't really know much about it.

But now he could only bow his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I was negligent in my work."

Zhao Ming: "We are the slowest one right now. Other manufacturers have already signed contracts with Sinovation Biotech."

Due to capital operations such as equity transfer, many of Honor's work is in a state of relative stagnation.

Zhao Ming brought professional technicians and public relations staff to Suzhou. After seeing and experiencing Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection device, he immediately decided to sign a cooperation agreement.

Kechuang Bio has the same terms for all mobile phone manufacturers, that is, the patent usage price for a brain-computer interface mobile phone is 200 yuan, and the payment is made after production.

At the same time, Kechuang Bio provides subsequent free software updates, and hardware updates are charged separately.

After the mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers signed the patent licensing contracts, the outside world basically got the news.

In fact, another major application scenario of brain-computer connection is in automobiles. Brain-computer connection combined with autonomous driving is simply invincible. Autonomous driving is responsible for driving, and brain-computer connection is responsible for emergency operations.

When an accident happens, the brain sends a brake signal to the car.

However, no domestic automobile manufacturer responded strongly. Instead, it was Qiandu that proposed cooperation.

Because this involves a redivision of powers and responsibilities.
