"Shocking! Xia Guo Technology leads the world in this field."

"A big earthquake in the floppy disk industry! A young man named Xia Guoyi broke the foreign monopoly!"

Overnight, many domestic media reported that Lu Yiming invented the USB flash drive and obtained a patent certificate for the American method.

In the 1990s, "breaking foreign monopoly" and "leading the world" were high-frequency keywords. In an era when national self-confidence was severely lacking and all kinds of public intellectuals were trying to fish in troubled waters to confuse the public, such words seemed very important.

Inspiring.

Ours is a very harsh nation. "Being the first" seems to be engraved in everyone's bones. It seems that they will not be willing to be first in any field, and relevant workers will be scolded.

Similarly, our nation is also very tolerant of its people. Once it makes achievements, it will be happy and full of comfort and glory.

Lu Yiming led the little-known Mingyuan Technology to produce such an epoch-making product. Naturally, the media and the people were not stingy with their praise, and various titles such as "National Entrepreneur" came to him one after another.

After the news was published, even the exhibition officials praised Mingyuan Technology, saying that the USB flash drive was the number one dark horse of this electronic products expo, with single-day sales exceeding 50 million, which shocked many people.

Mingyuan Technology, Chairman's Office.

Zheng Youyuan had been laughing for two hours with the newspaper in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were almost split from laughter.

On the desk in front of him were stacked more than twenty newspapers that the secretary had just bought.

He read all the news content that published Mingyuan Technology and USB flash drives.

At his level, money is no longer the goal he pursues. Although it is not enough to stabilize the position of the richest man, it is enough to live a luxurious life for a lifetime.

For him, fame is naturally more important than money.

Lu Yiming sat on the sofa and drank tea leisurely. Seeing Zheng Youyuan as happy as a child, he suddenly smiled and said, "How does it feel to become famous?"

Zheng Youyuan said excitedly: "It's so cool. It's so cool."

In fact, he has made a lot of money from working as an OEM in these years, but in terms of social status, he is really not that high. As for his reputation, not many people know about him outside Baiyun City.

But things are different now. As the major shareholder of Mingyuan Technology, with the flagship product of USB flash drive, his name has begun to move towards the country. Even some foreigners are now very interested in Mingyuan Technology and want to come here.

Invest in shares.

He had never dared to think about such a thing before.

Lu Yiming said sternly: "Okay, remember this feeling, this is the power of originality, this is the power of scientific research. Mingyuan Technology is going to follow such a path, not only to walk it through, but also to walk it well, and walk out a broad and

The broad avenue leading to the sky!"

Zheng Youyuan said cheerfully: "That's necessary."

Although he agreed readily, Lu Yiming also knew that this was because Mingyuan Technology became an instant success and made money by making USB flash drives. If he was asked to invest a large amount of money in research and development in the future, he might not have such an attitude.

Therefore, this is why Lu Yiming must keep scientific research power in his hands.

If Zheng Youyuan is really willing to engage in scientific research seriously, then everyone will be happy. If Zheng Youyuan wants to take the route of trade, industry, and technology, Lu Yiming will not hesitate to take away all the scientific research power and make Mingyuan Technology an empty shell.

Seeing Zheng Youyuan getting carried away, Lu Yiming had to remind him: "The next year will be crucial to the development of Mingyuan Technology. Although the sales of USB flash drives are now very hot, it has even triggered a wave that has swept the entire electronic industry.

market, but it will also bring a fatal trouble."

Zheng Youyuan said nonchalantly: "What trouble can this cause? Don't you own the invention patent for the USB flash drive?"

Lu Yiming sneered and said, "Invention patent? People's copycats don't care whether you have a patent or not."

As soon as Lu Yiming said the word "cottage", Zheng Youyuan's expression immediately changed.

It’s true that he does processing of supplied materials, but who doesn’t do some private work when opening a factory these days?

The problem of copycats is so common in Xia State that it would be a headache for any company to encounter this kind of thing.

Even powerful foreign-funded enterprises have nothing to do with Xia Guo's knock-off products.

Lu Yiming continued: "I estimate that by the end of the New Year at most, copycat products will appear on the market. So before that, we have to speed up the production schedule and try to sell as many products as possible."

Zheng Youyuan was a little worried and said: "If we blindly expand production capacity, will there be a risk of backlog?"

Although he runs an electronics factory, Zheng Youyuan is essentially a businessman, so he also considers business matters more. Since copycats will appear after the Chinese New Year at most, if we expand production capacity now, there will be a backlog of goods by then, and funds will not be withdrawn in time.

If the capital chain is broken, not only Mingyuan Technology will be in trouble, but his Youyuan Electronics Factory will also be destroyed.

Lu Yiming said: "That's why I said we should ship the goods as soon as possible, and we should sell as much as we can. In the future, we must continue to update and maintain our leading position in the industry at Mingyuan Technology. While making money, we are also writing books.

We will improve our brand image and let everyone know that when it comes to USB flash drives, we are the authentic one."

Zheng Youyuan felt relieved now, mainly because this business model of striving for creativity and innovation was too unfamiliar to him.

In the processing businesses he had done before, he was trying to find ways to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and then grab orders with lower quotes.

As for talking about customer feedback, product updates, or good after-sales service, he is not good at it.

………………

Deng Guoshun arrived at Baiyun Airport by plane. After setting foot on solid ground, he was high-spirited and confident.

Because this time, he is not fighting alone, but represents Ammon Company.

Deng Guoshun, who has worked in foreign companies for many years, is well aware of the importance of patents, so he has long investigated the patent registration information for USB flash drives. After learning that Mingyuan Technology has registered more than 200 related patents around the USB flash drive product

After obtaining the patent, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​patent registration and instead planned to fight in a roundabout way.

………………

Mingyuan Technology.

Lu Yiming, who had just finished school, hurried over.

In the office, when Zheng Youyuan saw Lu Yiming, he threw a stack of newspapers in front of Lu Yiming and said to Lu Yiming: "Look at this."

"What's going on?"

Lu Yiming took the newspaper and saw a shocking title written in thick and bold fonts on the front page.

“Is the birth of the USB flash drive a technological advancement or a shameless plagiarism?”

Although there is a question mark in the title, the main content of the text lists the foundry companies that Zheng Youyuan founded before. There are various misleading readers between the lines, saying that the boss of a foundry company has no experience in independent research and development. How can he

Suddenly he was innovative? He also came up with an electronic product with mature technology?

Is there something fishy here?

After that, the news mentioned Ammon Systems, an Israeli private company, saying that Mr. Dover Ammon was the pioneer of flash disk technology and had a profound technical background in this field.

The implication behind the words is to question whether Mingyuan Technology has copied the flash drive technology of Ammon Company.

This accusation is quite serious. After all, the reason why Mingyuan Technology is now attracting attention from all parties and has a valuation of up to one billion depends not only on the USB flash drive, but also on Mingyuan Technology's own business philosophy.

No matter how high a person stands, the pain will be greater when he falls.

Zheng Youyuan was very anxious. He had just been happy for two days. Why did something like this appear out of nowhere?

"Here, and here, more than a dozen newspapers and magazines have published this article. Mr. Lu, how do you think we should respond?"

When it comes to playing public opinion wars, Lu Yiming has seen too much. He has Weibo in his left hand and Zhihu in his right hand. He is already familiar with all kinds of tricks. He knows as soon as he sees this posture.

Yuan Technology is most likely being targeted by the wealthy boss or a powerful person.

"This is obviously an organized and premeditated laundering of manuscripts. I don't know which boss with deep pockets was so bold that he took over so many media outlets in one fell swoop, many of them even being industry authorities."

Zheng Youyuan frowned and said: "Yes, this is putting us on the line. It seems that we have been too popular these days and some people can't stand it anymore. But we have not plagiarized, and the patent certificates are all there."

Sir, should we publish the patent certificate? If they still dare to question it, they are questioning the professionalism of the patent agency, and we can still take a copy of them."

Lu Yiming sneered: "How boring is that? Let the bullets continue to fly for a while. Ignore these things for now and wait for two days."

"All right."

Although he didn't know what Lu Yiming wanted to do, Zheng Youyuan had no better way and could only accept it.

Two days later, Zheng Youyuan suddenly called Lu Yiming.

"Mr. Lu, today Turkey TV released an interview video about our Mingyuan Technology. I have recorded it. Do you want to come over and take a look?"

After Lu Yiming heard this, he felt a little annoyed.

It seems that this opponent will not give up until Mingyuan Technology is killed. Not only magazines and newspapers are involved, but now they are even used in talk shows.

"Okay, I'll go over there after school and have a look."

After school at noon, Lu Yiming came to Mingyuan Technology, and Zheng Youyuan showed the interview footage in the multimedia conference room.

The program is the famous "Interview with Lu Yu", and the guest on the interview program is Deng Guoshun.

On the screen, Deng Guoshun was sitting in front of the host Lu Yu, talking with ease.

Lu Yu took the microphone and asked him: "You said you were the first one to come up with the idea of ​​a USB flash drive, right?"

Deng Guoshun nodded and said, "Yes, I started to conceive of this project a year ago. At that time, I was working at aztecs, a large multimedia company in Singapore, and was mainly responsible for product sales and management."

Lu Yu looked surprised and praised: "These days, those who can enter foreign companies and work abroad are all very outstanding talents."

Deng Guoshun said modestly: "I just work hard enough and happen to have a little talent."

Lu Yu asked Deng Guoshun: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making a USB flash drive?"

Deng Guoshun opened his mouth and said: "Singapore's weather is similar to that of Guangdong Province, hot and humid. This causes floppy disks to be easily dampened and short-circuited if not stored properly, making them unusable. And in my opinion, floppy disks are larger in size and not very light in weight.

It was not very convenient to hold it. So I was very distressed at the time, thinking that I must improve this situation, and slowly I came up with this idea."
