Chapter 88 Troublemaker

  Imperial Capital, in a certain office on Chang'an Street. Ye Jianwen was carefully reading the report handed over by Liang Sanping, which was a report on core technology issues, and the title was shocking - "On the possibility of our country's core technology loss and the vigilance that should be maintained during external exchanges".

  Ye Jianwen was so engrossed in reading this report that he even forgot to eat lunch. From time to time, he would draw a few underlines on the report and occasionally circle certain terms or paragraphs.

  "Lao Ye, what are you looking at?! You're so absorbed that they say you haven't even gone to eat lunch. You've been stuck in the office all this time." Just then, a bright and clear voice came over, and Ye Jianwen looked up to see his good friend and colleague Liao Bin.

  "Lao Liao, you're here?! Was it those kids who called you over?!" Ye Jianwen looked up and couldn't help but laugh: "Have you taken care of that matter outside?"

  "Uh-huh, it's all taken care of. I just got back and heard that you were so engrossed in reading the file that you even forgot to eat lunch. Whoever came looking for you got scolded, without knowing what was going on. So they sent me to take a look."

  Ye Jianwen did not ask Liao Bin what he was doing or how it was going, he only asked if it had been settled. Because they originally had internal rules that they should not ask each other about things that were not to be asked.

  Liao Bin came over because he knew that there were not many important things happening recently. Under such circumstances, Ye Jianwen, this lazy guy, could work day and night without sleep or food, which meant that this matter was extremely important. Liao Bin was also very curious about what it was.

  "You've come just in time, take a look at this report too..." Ye Jianwen said, handing the report to Liao Bin: "This was sent by that Liang Sanping, I took a look. The content mentioned inside is very consistent with reality! If we don't pay attention to this aspect, it's easy for people to take advantage of us. In the end, the country will definitely suffer!"

  When Yeh Chien-wen said that, Liao Bin's face changed. He took the report and looked at it carefully. When he saw the title of this report, Liao Bin's face turned ugly.

  Recently, Ye Jianwen submitted a report to the superior department, which is about the patent protection of national agricultural scientific and technological achievements abroad. After submitting this report, it immediately attracted attention from relevant departments.

  Especially the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, reacted strongly. Finally, after consulting with the Foreign Affairs Department, a special research group was formed to study the situation of foreign patents, to see if the situation abroad is really as reported that neglecting patents would lead to this kind of problem.

  Liao Bin went out this time to study this issue. The situation he got was even more shocking than what was written in the report. If we ourselves neglect this problem, it will be extremely difficult to get out.

  "This report is well-written, but the situation I've learned about outside is actually even more severe than what's written here..." Liao Bin said with a furrowed brow after finishing reading the report.

  "This investigation has really broadened my horizons. In Western society, it's a society that emphasizes contracts and capital..." Liao Bin put down the report and said to Ye Jianwen.

  "Even if this is what you researched, but did not apply for a patent. Or it was questioned or rebutted during the patent application period. Then the patent may be withdrawn. And in Western society, most of them are the operational nature of capital on patents."

  Liao Bin began to pour out his story to Ye Jianwen, there was nothing that could be hidden about this matter. There was no need to hide it either. So Liao Bin could confide in Ye Jianwen.

  Ye Jianwen is often on the move, but most of the time he is executing tasks. He doesn't have much time to understand specific social structures and patent issues. Therefore, although he knows a lot about the level of development abroad, he knows very little about patents.

  This survey can also be considered as a test for him, allowing him to have an in-depth understanding of foreign patent systems and other aspects. However, dealing with such matters still requires professional personnel.

  "Now we are investigating some people in Xiangjiang, preparing to have them provide training on relevant business issues for our company's personnel. Especially those tricks under international business rules, if we don't get a clear understanding of this area, we will suffer greatly in the future!"

  Liao Bin's words made Ye Jianwen even more emotional. Indeed, if we ourselves didn't pay attention, especially at the beginning of the reform, we would definitely suffer unimaginable huge losses in terms of technology...

  "Let's sign this report together..." But Liao Bin fell silent for a moment, then said: "If we don't investigate, we won't know. Once we start investigating, it's terrifying! What I've seen outside is truly shocking!"

  For example, Liao Bin learned that the American toothpaste king Gabe had once received a high-end gift - a specimen of an alligator. However, after receiving this specimen, he found that his work seemed to have been leaked.

  Under strict investigation, he was shocked to discover that the high-end gift crocodile specimen given by his "friend" had a tiny camera installed in its eyes, which could rotate flexibly and silently monitor his every move, sending it out.

  For example, Nagoya Vinyl Co., Ltd. in Japan concealed the company's operating conditions before declaring bankruptcy with a debt of 1.5 billion yen and rushed to apply for large loans from banks.

  The bank, which had doubts about the company, cleverly implanted a tiny transmitter in the tooth root of the company's chief accountant, Ishida Tokuro, who was suffering from tooth decay, and learned the true situation within a few days.

  In foreign or Western societies, the competition between capital and enterprises has reached a white-hot degree. The business intelligence war between each other is also extreme.

  Chinese companies that have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, if they are not given some training and warning at this time, will definitely suffer greatly in their dealings with foreigners!

  "Our country has not yet fully opened up the patent law, even if it is open, I'm afraid domestic enterprises know little about it..." Liao Bin said with a bitter smile, although the foreign-related department had proposed the necessity of establishing a patent law as early as 1971.

  But it wasn't until 1978 that the country formally proposed the concept of patents in a report. However, this document only targeted foreign-related fields and did not mention much about domestic ones.

  Last year, the Science Committee also submitted a report on patents to the state. However, this report was also based on "foreign exchanges" and did not pay much attention to domestic situations.

  After this report was submitted, the country immediately noticed the situation of patents. Later, in the agreement signed with the United States, the issue of patents was also mentioned. However, what everyone did not notice at that time was that our opening up to the outside world might lead to the leakage of technical and formula patents.

  It wasn't until later, when China suffered greatly in this regard, especially during the hybrid rice and US exchange, that it was discovered to have been deceived by the US side. Only then did China reflect on its past experiences and begin to establish its own patent law.

  This bill was not introduced until 1984. But even when it was introduced, many people did not understand this bill at that time. Even many companies had no concept of patents at all.

  "Then let's sign it together and submit it." Ye Jianwen nodded, if Liao Bin signed this report, it would be more convincing. Because Liao Bin was the one who had gone abroad to investigate this matter, and he went in an unofficial capacity.

  Believe his report, it will soon be presented to the leaders' desk. If this report is also recognized by him, it will inevitably attract high-level attention. As long as it can attract attention, these things are easy to solve.

  Li Sanping did not know at this time that his report was about to be submitted. He just thought of giving the report to Ye Jianwen and letting Ye Jianwen refer to it for reporting. He had no idea that Old Ye would be so "honest" as to sign and submit his report without changing a single word.

  "That... I am Liang Sanping, in charge of some work here." Is this the first time seeing his own wife?! On the surface, Liang Sanping looked calm, but in his heart, a storm had already been stirred up.

  At that time, his wife was very young and did not have the plump appearance she had later on. Her slender figure remained, and when talking to herself, she would still blush. But unlike later on, she didn't have a fierce temper that would flare up at the slightest provocation.

  "I... I am Li Feng, from the 30th squad." But then Li Feng fidgeted with her own hem and said somewhat awkwardly: "I've seen you before, you often run around in the vegetable garden. Sometimes with the Japanese, sometimes with the Americans. Or else with other experts..."

  Li Sanping didn't know what to say at this time, what could he say? A few humble words? He really couldn't be humble, or else others would say he was hypocritical.

  "I've heard many stories about you, such as how you beat up that high-ranking official in Qiongzhou. These Japanese and American people also called for your capture. And then there's Peng Lao San and Liu Er Dianzi..."

  Liāng Sān Píng is now even more speechless, okay! Is this considered notorious or renowned?!

  "Sister-in-law! You can forget about that Peng Lao San, but I'm not some Liu Er Dianzi! My name is Liu Wei Cheng!!" Just then, a voice floated out from the grass.

  Li Feng's face turned red with a "swoosh" as soon as she heard this. Without saying a word, she covered her face and ran back immediately. Liang Sanping was taken aback at first when he heard the words, but seeing Li Feng run off like that, he couldn't even catch up to her.

  "Damn it! Liu Er Dumbass! You little bastard, get out of here right now!!" Liang Sanping's temper flared up in an instant, and to his surprise, Peng Lao San and Liu Er Dumbass were actually following him!

  Alright, now the little girl has scared them away. What the hell is going on?!

  "Just you wait and see if I don't deal with you two bastards!!"
