Chapter 209 Utility Model Invention Patents
Qian Hongli was very polite to Lu Yiming, it could even be said that he admired him.

After cooperating with Lu Yiming, his ability to make money has also increased. After establishing Jianlai Technology, he never thought that there would be so many rich people in Baiyun City. One order would cost millions of people. This is comparable to when he opened a computer store by himself. Earning money is much faster.

Lu Yiming took a sip of tea, and praised casually: "Well, this tea is good and tasteful. It seems that you have lived a very comfortable life recently."

Qian Hongli smiled from ear to ear: "That is so comfortable! I have been in business for most of my life, and I have never been so comfortable."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, and said, "What about the exterior design patent of the case? Has it been applied for?"

"Come down, here is the certificate."

Qian Hongli took out a red satin notebook from the drawer, opened it, and it read: Utility Model Invention Patent, Patent No. XXXXXXXXXX.

The following applicant and patent holder, is Key Technology Co., Ltd.

Li Quanwang said in surprise: "How can you apply for a patent for an invention with just an iron shell?"

In his concept, only making something that did not exist in the world before that is considered an invention.

Computer case, which computer does not have it?Is it possible to apply for a patent on this?
Lu Yiming explained: "Of course, the chassis I developed is completely different from the previous computer chassis. Do you understand the gold content of utility model patents?"

The current computer host is just a boxy tin box. After putting things in it, it is basically welded to death. If you want to replace any parts, you need to use a powerful demolition tool.

Think of that white box pressed under the monitor in the school computer room.

However, Lu Yiming made out the modular computer case of later generations. The sides are fixed with screws and buckles, which can be easily disassembled. Moreover, there are various embedding channels and buckles inside the case, which can be easily fixed. Components such as the mainboard, graphics card, fan, power supply, etc., and the wiring is clean and clear at a glance.Can greatly reduce installation and maintenance costs.

With the help of the new chassis, hundreds of machines can be installed and debugged in the factory every day. Compared with the previous one-person workshop, the efficiency is not known to be higher.

Qian Hongli is also convinced of this: "This chassis is really easy to use, Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, I heard people from Dingyuan Mold Factory say a few days ago that someone went to place an order and wanted to buy it. What about this chassis. However, they didn’t come to discuss royalties with us.”

Lu Yiming shrugged his shoulders slightly, and he was quite open-minded: "Do you think that if you don't authorize them, they won't produce it? This thing has no technical content at all, and it can be made in any factory after dismantling it. But it's okay. , we can carry out personal customization services. Triangular, pentagonal, spherical, transparent, translucent, and opaque can all be used to apply for appearance patents. As long as our research and development speed is fast enough and the brain hole is big enough, they will We will never be able to keep up with us. On the one hand, we can develop and produce by ourselves to make money, and when the other party becomes bigger and stronger, we can also sue these plagiarists to make money, a win-win situation.”

As a high-end consumable in the 21st century, Lu Yiming has read countless patent lawsuits and studied the money-making methods of those patent trolls in depth. At this time, if he wants to become a patent troll, there is no technical difficulty or psychological burden at all.

Moreover, relying on patents to make money, Lu Yiming, a domestic three-melon and two-dates, actually didn't take it too seriously. Even if a group of poor ghosts were squeezed dry, how much oil could they squeeze out?
If you really want to make money, you still have to count on exports, counting on those "fat meat" foreigners.

As for Lu Yiming's requirement of focusing on research and development, Qian Hongli, who had already tasted the sweetness of the new chassis, naturally agreed with it.After all, the reason why Jianlai Technology is developing so rapidly right now is not the blue ocean market brought by new technologies?
Later, Qian Hongli said: "Technology research and development is necessary, but I have a doubt, Mr. Lu, why don't we burn our 'key to Internet cafe management software' into a CD and sell it separately? Now we are all installed in the factory. In the computer, it feels like I have made a lot of money.”

At this time, most Internet cafes charge by manual accounting.

That's right, it's manual bookkeeping.

Until around [-], there were still many bosses of black Internet cafes who collected money by manual bookkeeping. A small note was placed in front of each machine, and when the time came, they had to manually call out to remind them. Not high tech.

Even in some mom-and-pop shops, the husband is on the night shift, and the wife is on the day shift.

At this time, if there is a simple and easy-to-use Internet cafe software, they can sit in front of the cash register and tap the keyboard to solve the problem without even having to stare at the store. It costs a few hundred yuan to hire someone to sit on the shift, and I only need to check the accounts regularly. I am afraid that many people are willing to pay for this.

Lu Yiming laughed loudly and said: "Good guy, it seems that you have great potential to be a capitalist, and you don't even want to let go of this little money. However, in business, you can't just focus on the small profits in front of you, you must know how to put a long term Catch big fish."

Lu Yiming has been eyeing the Internet cafe software market for a long time.

Until [-], there were still a small number of personal computer users in China, and Internet cafe computer users were the mainstream group of Internet users.

Therefore, the Internet cafe software platform is very interesting.

After all, for the Internet industry, the number of users always comes first.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one has discovered this blue ocean, Lu Yiming decided to use the free strategy to seize the market. Once the monopoly is completed, if he wants to make money in the future, isn't that easy?

For example, add computer hardware detection, driver installation and other functions, but you need to pay or open a membership.

For example, using other people's Internet cafe computer interface to promote your favorite software, leaving a lot of channel fees and advertising fees, isn't it good?

Another example is adding the function of a small supermarket, users can place an order through the shopping page, and Jianlai Technology, as the software copyright owner, charges him a [-]% commission.

For an Internet cafe, customers can place an order while sitting in the seat, and the customer's willingness to shop will be stronger, and the extra income generated will definitely be much more than the one percent toll.They paid the money willingly.

So what if there are a thousand Internet cafes or even ten thousand Internet cafes using this function?
Just drawing achievements is a lot of money.

All in all, as long as there is a market, it is easy to make money.

In this world, free is always the most expensive.
