Anden-ping reviewed documents in his factory office. Every minute or two, he took out his handkerchief and wiped away the sweat from his face.

The air conditioner in the room seemed to be broken and could not control the cold. It was all up to a floor-standing fan to blow it towards him to relieve the burning heat in his heart.

Why did this happen? Why did Hong Kong manufacturers only stare at him and sued him for patent infringement in court, and filed a huge compensation claim of up to 240 million yen for him.

And the most incredible thing is that the court actually accepted the case!

Anden Renping and the operators of small and medium-sized electronics business like him were extremely shocked and could not accept this result. You should know that in order to develop the electronics industry, their country has implemented a strict protection system within the country.

Japan's electronics development was already behind Europe and the United States. It was the first pot of gold that it earned in the 1950s by providing logistics services to the US military during the Korean War. Then it began to develop light industries such as textiles, and then accumulated capital for many years, invested all the money into the steel and metallurgy industry, and then transferred to the automobile manufacturing industry.

Although with the support of the United States, various advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment can be purchased from the world, every investment has made factory owners in Japan frightened, fearing that the investment will fail.

By the mid-1960s, Japan once again turned its attention to the electronics manufacturing industry.

Just like the previous few industrial investments, domestic protection policies have been implemented for electronic manufacturing companies. Without policy protection, with the weak competitiveness of newborn enterprises, they will not compete against mature electronics manufacturers in Europe and the United States.

Any industrial development starts with imitation.

Of course, imitation is actually equivalent to plagiarism, but it sounds better to the outside world.

It was through plagiarism, no, imitation that Andeng Renping gradually expanded from a small resistor manufacturing workshop to a regular electronics factory. It took another ten years to expand the scale of this factory to more than 500 workers now, and a new factory was built last year.

With more workers, equipment has been upgraded, and various hardware investments have spent all their savings over the years. To survive in the increasingly fierce competition, more sources of profit are needed to support such a huge family business.

Just as he was looking for investment directions, the Space Invaders arcade was launched.

When he went to the underground arcade hall opened by Taiyu Technology in Tokyo to inspect the project, he was shocked: the hundreds of meters of arcade hall were crowded with people, and the air was filled with sweat, which made him look dissuaded.

The whirlwind blew too fast. Within just one month, all bars, game halls and billiards in Tokyo were placed in "Space Invaders". After interviews and statistics, some good reporters even made reports that "there were no bars that were placed in "Space Invaders", and even fewer customers were visited."

From then on, he made up his mind: pirated "Space Invaders"!

It's just a Hong Kong company. Even if it is pirated, what can they do to him? And through various channels, he learned that many of his peers have made the same decisions as him. It is clearly a Japanese market, but a Hong Kong businessman actually wants to come and grab their cake, which is untolerable.

But when I actually started working, I realized that this game is not easy to pirated.

The other party added key protection to the key chips that store the game program. Without the correct key, the programmer could not read the contents in the chip at all. It would lock it as soon as it was read, and the chip voltage increased, burning the core data area.

Andeng Renping asked the factory technician to try it several times, but they failed and scrapped the sample machine he bought for a lot of money.

He had no choice but to look at Taiyu Technology as if he was robbing money, making a lot of money in the Japanese market, but he was salivating but could not do anything about it.

Just when he finally decided to give up and was about to look for other projects, a turning point appeared. "Space Invaders" not produced by Taiyu Technology appeared on the market! From the appearance, this arcade is almost the same as the original version, with the game screen, settings, rules, and even the passing mode inside it!

There is nothing at the upper eyebrow frame that originally printed with the Taiyu Technology logo.

He was moved again, and he used his relationships to inquire. Finally, he realized that this was a large game maker, who copied the game program that he had written by himself and rewrited. He was immediately excited.

I think it is clear that only large game manufacturers can afford this kind of investment.

Of course, it is also because this is a Hong Kong company that manufacturers will dare to pirate the world. For example, the "Billiard Ball" arcade produced by an American company last year also swept the Japanese market, but no company dares to pirate the product - snatch food from Americans, isn't this asking for death?

Through the relationship, Andan Renping used five million yen to ask the person in charge to buy the source program privately from the program developer, and immediately worked overtime to make it.

He moves faster, and others are faster than him.

Just before his pirated machines came out, the market was filled with all kinds of pirated machines. There were three large game manufacturers alone, and they all seemed to be developed by themselves. As for the number of small and medium-sized electronic companies, there were more, more complicated, at least no less than a hundred.

When the pirated machine made by the Andan Renping factory first came out, the market price was basically 390,000 yen per unit. But within a few days, the newly released pirated manufacturers took price cuts in order to promote their machines, and immediately reduced the price to 380,000.

Immediately afterwards, other merchants also began to lower prices.

As more and more merchants enter this market, the prices of pirated arcades have begun to plummet, approaching 330,000 yen.

Just when Anden was so angry that he jumped, he suddenly received a subpoena from the court: His company was sued by Taiyu Technology!

He was confused at that time.

He was not the one who pirated the first, he was not the one who recompiled the program, he was not the one who first launched the pirated machine. He was not the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the first to reduce the price. Why, why did he just sue him?

Moreover, the court accepted the case!

I am a domestic electronics manufacturer, and I am the one who should be protected. Are you making such a big fight for a foreign company?

...

Anden Renping was both angry and fearful in his factory. Zhou Xiaoshan was also anxious and restless in the office of the general manager of Taiyu Technology.

"Darling, what are you doing? Why are you like a frightened kitten?" Pan Meifeng pushed the door and smiled when she saw him like this.

The two met for several months, and their relationship heated up sharply under Pan Meifeng's wish.

The Pan family is also a member of the newly established interest chain, and the two parties have close interest connections. In addition to the personal relationship between Pan Meifeng and Zhou Xiaoshan, she often goes to Taiyu Technology, just like in her father's company.

"Did you read the newspaper today? Vietnam hoarded heavy troops on the Cambodian border and acted as if he was going to start a war. The bilateral situation was very tense and there was a possibility of a big fight!" Zhou Xiaoshan threw out a copy of Ming Pao, frowned, walked around the office with a serious expression.

"So what? If they want to fight, just let them fight..." Pan Meifeng said lightly, threw the Hermes bag in her hand on the sofa, walked over slowly, put her hands around Zhou Xiaoshan's waist, and felt tender as if she was like water, "Did you miss me today?"

"Think of nothing!"

When she used to act so cutely, Zhou Xiaoshan would hug her with a smile. She felt tender and sweet for a while, but today she pushed her away irritably and said irritably: "Go out! I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me!"

He also developed a sense of majesty in front of the general manager for so long, especially the masculinity of the people in the military, which further highlighted his high status. Whenever he inspected the factory, he could scare the workers to death with just one glaring.

At this moment, he pushed Pan Meifeng away, and the other party did not dare to have an attack on the spot. He was stunned for a while before he said angrily: "Zhou Xiaoshan, what nerves are you? Who are you looking for if you mess with you? What kind of man is he getting angry at me, a woman?"

"roll!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Xiaoshan pushed her to the door, opened the door, pushed her out, then slammed the door hard and closed it.

Click!

Pan Meifeng pushed the door angrily and entered.

"What are you doing when you come in again?" Zhou Xiaoshan followed Guan Fei's appearance and raised his eyebrows and was about to attack.

"I'll get the bag!" Pan Meifeng's high heels were thumping, and she walked to the sofa, picked up the bag and turned around and left. When she left, she threw the door hard to show her vent.

Zhou Xiaoshan ignored the situation behind him and just stood in front of the table, looking at the newspaper above.

When Guan Fei left, he arranged two tasks for him.

The first job is to manage Taiyu Technology well. He thought he had worked hard to do this and basically met Guan Fei's requirements. Although sales in the Japanese market have declined recently, the development of Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States has been very smooth.

Moreover, Guan Fei brings two new games, one is Lianlian and the other is Bubble Dragon.

After the samples of these two games were released, he tried them. Although it felt that it was not as fun as the Space Invaders, it was also very good. Especially Pan Meifeng, who was so fascinated by these two games that he was born to prepare for girls and would definitely be very popular.

Well, anyway, with two new games, he doesn't have to worry about bad sales this year.

The second job is to buy food.

The country now supports 1,000 tons of rice in the military sub-district every month, which is logically enough for 50,000 people to eat, so this task is no longer urgent. Although the military sub-district gives 70 tons to the Northeast Military Region and 200 tons to the headquarters per month, there are still about 700 tons.

However, after the military sub-district let everyone go and eat, the per capita food consumption reached one pound and three taels per day. This is because the educated youth students consumed less and the amount was large, which flattened the statistical base. Therefore, this little grain was roughly enough to eat.

However, the military sub-district also distributes grain as a remuneration wage to the people who come to work. The grain demand in this regard is 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms per day, totaling 20 to 25 tons, and a monthly rice requirement of 600 to 800 tons.

This part of the gap needs to be purchased from Hong Kong.

Before, he bought Lao rice, but recently Vietnam has become increasingly restless in Southeast Asia, and Laos' military and political affairs have basically been controlled by it. In May, Vietnam sent a small group of troops into Cambodia, but was beaten back. Next, it hoarded heavy troops on the border, and it was very stance to start a war.

Affected by this, the prices of Laos, Cambodian rice and Thai rice have begun to fluctuate violently, and the supply is also intermittent.

It would be fine if the price rose a little, but Taiyu Technology could afford this amount of money, but it was very annoyed that it was insufficient. Not only did the military sub-districts want to eat rice, but Hong Kong residents also wanted to eat rice! The violent fluctuations in the supply of rice have set off a rush to buy in Hong Kong. Due to the rush to buy, it has caused a shortage of rice supply, which made him unable to find a place to buy even if he wanted to buy it.

It’s not that you can’t buy it at all, but that you can only buy it in small quantities.

Those unscrupulous merchants saw the opportunity and hoarded themselves and wanted to wait until the food price was high to make money.

Zhou Xiaoshan is irritable and has another reason why he can't say it, that is, why does Vietnam fight Cambodia!

Aren’t we all socialist countries? Why do we still have to take action?

If there is a different ideology, we have to fight. He understands that everyone is a life-and-death hostile relationship. But why do we have the same social system and fight together?

In this case, what's the point of doing revolutionary output? Just like when we won the Vietnam War of Independence, we turned our backs and surrendered to the Soviet Union, and in turn drove out the overseas Chinese in Vietnam and fired fire at us on the border.

Instead of raising a ungrateful wolf, it would be better to just take over them!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoshan felt angry from the bottom of his heart and punched him hard on the desk. In the face of facts, he completely accepted Guan Fei's view that ideology is very important and a prerequisite for all contradictions. But this is only one aspect. Even for countries with the same ideology, the interests between countries are the fundamental core.
