Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 263 The Patent Stick!
"Whose face are you looking at?"

"Nonsense, of course it depends on our mood! Just like Xiaobenzi, this guy only knows how to take advantage of others all day long! If you dare to use his technology, needless to say, at least 9% of the profits will be taken away by him!"

"Even then, you still have to depend on his mood! If anything goes wrong, he'll definitely throw a bunch of patents at your head, press your head down, and take away the last bit of profit!"

I'm surprised that this little notebook can be so cruel!
Although this is consistent with Bai Ling's consistent perception of this despicable nation.
"But he's so cruel, isn't he? Is this true?"

Seeing that Bai Ling still didn't believe him, Ximen Lang immediately told Bai Ling about the disgusting incident in the past where selling DVDs was worse than selling cabbages.

To put it simply, Japan relied on its first-mover advantage and the support of the Americans, and with its economy and technology booming, it was able to develop a lot of technologies.

Among them is the DVD technology patent, which has almost absolute monopoly.

"Back then, our situation was so difficult. We had absolutely nothing. Many people had no concept of patents at all, so as soon as they saw that DVDs, which were not difficult to make, were promising, they all rushed into the DVD market!"

"It was okay in the beginning. After all, we were just starting out. Even if we squeezed them dry, we wouldn't get much profit out of them, not even enough to cover the lawsuit. So, both sides have been living in peace."

"But after going through a series of fierce competition, we finally carved out a niche in the international market with our high-quality products and low prices, and became valuable enough."

"The little guy came over wielding the patent as a big stick and took advantage of our situation! And in one move, he made us lose 30 billion! 30 billion! That was 30 billion in those days! It was an astronomical figure!"

"But even with that, the little bookmaker isn't satisfied! He forces the manufacturers to hand over nearly 99% of their profits, squeezing them to the point where each DVD sells for hundreds of dollars, while the publisher only makes a mere two dollars in profit!" (True story, so pathetic!)
"Even those manufacturers couldn't help but laugh at themselves. They weren't even as profitable as the street vendors selling Chinese cabbages. They were all bankrupt and closed down! This is the end of the matter! How shameless can you say these bastards are?!"

Although it was indeed inappropriate for those manufacturers to use those technologies without the consent of the manufacturer.

How could she be so cruel?
"Isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's not just excessive, it's outrageous! They're so disgusting, even a silicon-based creature would vomit at the sight of them!"

The couple chatted back and forth, greeting all the ancestors in the little notebook without leaving out a single one.

Bai Ling asked curiously.

"What about you? Are you just going to swallow this bitter fruit silently?"

"How is that possible? Although they were fined and the manufacturers went bankrupt, the feud is still there! Aren't you using your patented DVD technology to piss people off? Fine, then I'll vigorously develop VCD technology!"

"A DVD has to cost at least a few hundred bucks? I'll sell you a VCD, two game controllers, and a game disc for a total of just over a hundred bucks! I'll kill you! Actually, we did sell DVDs in no time!" (VCD games are really fun. I first played Contra on a VCD.)
"Then, because the little notebook was so damn disgusting, so disgusting that even his American father couldn't stand it! And then, the little notebook was completely doomed!"

"Amidst the global outcry and widespread dissatisfaction with him, the nations of the world have reached unprecedented unity! Everyone knows this guy is just a rotten character, he just likes to have it all to himself, so they're simply not going to play with him anymore!"

"When he clicks on a tech tree, all nations tacitly abandon that track and switch to his competitors! Just like that, he's been wasting every time he clicks on a tech tree. He's missed several historic opportunities, super-hot spots, and he can never get back on his feet again!"

Because the incident just now was so frustrating, Ximen Lang gave Bai Ling another example. "You know how popular our new energy vehicles are? Take our U8, the top-tier new energy vehicle. Back then, everyone wanted to develop a clean energy vehicle to replace gasoline-powered vehicles with high fuel costs and severe exhaust emissions!"

"As soon as he heard this was a huge opportunity, Xiaobenzi jumped right in! Very quickly, relying on a national research effort like gambling on the fate of the nation, he quickly secured at least 30% of the patents in this field, leaving all other players far behind!"

"And then, before the little notebook could wave the patent stick and disgust all the players again, the change was swift. Countries immediately switched tracks and rushed into the electric car track! Even if hydrogen energy is indeed cheaper, they will definitely not play with it!"

"So now, he's completely ruined! If it weren't for the immense capital he accumulated during the barbaric era, and the backing of an American dad, he would have been finished long ago! How could he have survived until now?"

After telling Bai Ling the fact that the small country had long since become a second-rate country, she finally felt a little relieved.

Changing the subject, Ximen Lang continued.

"If even the little notebook can do this, what's wrong with us? With Brother Lang here, we have everything! Of course, we're definitely much more generous than the little notebook! So, I won't ask for more from you. I'll give you the change, and I'll just take 9% of the profit as a token of my appreciation! This, this price is fair, right? You should have no objection to this, right?!"

The ugly face, which was not much better than the small notebook, gave Bai Ling a toothache.

But this cake is really round and big
The key is that with Ximen Lang's help, the world of Sijiu City can really be conquered!

So, inevitably, Bai Ling immediately fell into a dilemma.

While frowning, he was thinking about how to take advantage of this rare historical opportunity to bite off the Western world and take the fattest piece of meat in the world.

On the other side, Bai Ling said speechlessly.

"Ninety percent, you're too evil! Just looking at your behavior, what's the difference between you and those guys who only know how to disgust others? I'm so ashamed for you!"

"so?"

"82, no, let's say 37. You have to leave some soup for others! Otherwise, who would want to play with you? If you're like them, you'll narrow your own path."

The lion, who was not much different from Ximen Lang, opened his mouth so loudly that Ximen Lang couldn't help but sigh.

"She is worthy of being my wife, she is beautiful and kind-hearted!"

Bai Jingqi, who was standing by, wanted to spit at them both in the face!
"No wonder you two can get together, it's true that birds of a feather flock together!"

Then, Bai Jingqi, who had heard everything he should and shouldn't have heard, was targeted by Bai Ling.
