Chapter 104 Patent Application for Marine Outboard Motors (First Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Brother Song, did you miss me?" Li Song successfully picked up Alin this time, and the two started to cuddle together in the taxi.

"Yes, of course I've thought about it."

"Mmm." Then the two kissed.

Let's eat first, then go home.

"It's so comfortable here." Arlene entered the house and immediately collapsed onto the large sofa. The spacious living room, the big sofa, and the view outside were beautiful, even though it was dark.

It's so much better than home or school dormitories.

"Brother Song, I want to take a shower!" Arlene said coquettishly.

"Ok?"

"Please carry me!"

"It is my duty, my princess!"

"Giggle..."

Perhaps because it had been a long time since they last met, Arlene acted very wildly that night, but she was still no match for Li Song, and she kept fighting despite repeated defeats.

The next day, after Arlene woke up, she saw that the sunlight was blocked by the curtains. Despite her exhaustion, she climbed off Li Song, pulled back the curtains, and immediately went back into bed.

"Ah Lin!" Li Song became interested when he saw Ah Lin doing this.

"Um……."

The two lingered together until noon before getting up, washing up, and going out for lunch and shopping.

Arlene bought some clothes and a lot of pretty lingerie, which are hanging in the closet.

Li Song roughly guessed that Arlene was asserting her dominance, afraid that he would bring other women home.

Li Song certainly wouldn't bring other women back to this house.

She calmed down considerably when she got home that evening, because Arlene had to go to school the next day.

On Monday, Li Song took a taxi to send A Lin to school. He had just returned home when Liu Jiale arrived.

“Boss, last time you offered us the opportunity to invest in a movie, and Golden Harvest is willing to accept our investment, but we haven’t discussed the investment ratio yet,” Liu Jiale said first.

"Let's talk it over and try to get as much as possible." This movie is bound to be a hit because the gold from Third Brother's side is real. I didn't have my eye on the gold at first, but if Master Gao Haiyang has connections with his uncle in Southeast Asia, it's not impossible to let them explore first. Even if they fail, they'll still find out, which will greatly help the movie's box office.

"it is good!"

"In addition, these are letters from readers. Some of them we are not sure about. We only screened out the bad ones, the ones we were unsure about, or the ones we could not judge, or the ones we rated as bad. At least three editors evaluated each other's letters." Liu Jiale pointed to a canvas bag.

"Hmm, let me stay and take a look."

"For The Lost Tomb, Huang Baiming is willing to offer HK$3.2 million, while Shaw Brothers is only willing to offer HK$3 million, because the highest box office so far has only broken HK$10 million. Huang Baiming mainly wants to make the company famous. My opinion is to sign it, but Huang Baiming and his side want priority for the sequel, that is, they have priority at the same price."

"Okay, then let's sign!"

"In addition, this is the first issue of the Interstellar Mercenaries comic, as well as the Ghost Blows Out the Light comic, some of the Tomb Raider Chronicles novels, and some thriller short stories, some of which are made up based on folk tales. There are also some reading notes, which is the story of the Great Sage Equaling Accounts that the boss mentioned. We also solicit manuscripts from readers. Once accepted, we will pay 500 Hong Kong dollars for the manuscript. We will select five readers' reading notes each issue. This is also a marketing method."

"Let me see," Li Song said, picking up the first issue of the magazine.

First, of course, is the Ghost Blows Out the Light comic, which isn't a big problem. Then there's the Star Mercenaries comic, which also isn't a big problem, since I provided the Star Mercenaries characters, scenes, and so on.

Then, the Tomb Raider Chronicles was published, with 30,000 words.

A few ghost stories.

Then comes the reading notes. "Here's the thing, the Xinwanbao newspaper has some professors who popularize some physics facts, right? Do you think we should hire a professor to write something, or just use what the Xinwanbao has to say? Of course, we should pay them. Each issue can start with something like 'Interstellar Mercenaries,' such as nuclear batteries, or how the US used them on Explorer 1 in 1961. Doing some small popular science articles can increase the value of the publication," Li Song said.

"Okay!" Liu Jiale nodded.

"so be it."

"Then I'm off." With Li Song's approval, Liu Jiale was about to go back and quickly prepare for the first issue, aiming to publish it by the end of the month, and then release it every two weeks.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Boss, please don't say that, I'm so embarrassed. It's all thanks to you, boss," Liu Jiale quickly said, and then left.

Li Song started writing the article, which took several days. He tried to finish it as soon as possible because he would have more and more free time later on.

I don't have time to review the manuscript right now.

In the afternoon, Li Song rented a van and put the blueprints for the ship's propulsion system inside.

There are a total of 14 models with 6, 8, 12, 15, 18, 30, and 40 horsepower, long and short wheelbases. Of course, this is just the exterior design and drawing design. As for the materials and processing, they are listed on a second-hand platform and the price is negotiable.

A patent application only requires drawings and an appearance design; nothing else is needed.

The processing of materials is confidential.

The number of patent applications this time is as high as 2300, mainly because there are too many models. In fact, they are all derived from one model, meaning that the prototype of these things is the same.

The only changes are in the cylinder bore, control, and transmission; the core system remains largely unchanged.

In other words, even for the same component, different models and different sizes require a patent application.

Moreover, this is just an idle game; otherwise, there would be far more patents than this.

Li Song drove to Parkson Company, where Zhang Dehua was already waiting. Seeing Li Song get out of the van, he quickly came over to greet him.

"Mr. Li!"

“Zhang Sheng has arrived so early in the morning.”

"Tian Sheng said that Zhang Sheng has a big business opportunity to take care of me, how could I dare to neglect him?"

"Boss!" Just then, the receptionists arrived.

"Move these things to the conference room. I'll treat you to lunch later, 50 yuan a day," Li Song said. Even though it was during working hours, he still wanted to give someone a little something for moving things.

"It's my treat, it's my treat!" Zhang Dehua saw a familiar scene; it was cardboard boxes last time, and it was the same again this time, so he quickly said.

“Mr. Zhang, if you’re treating, then we should have a big meal,” Tian Jiahui said.

"Of course, of course!"

"Let's have a big meal, it's on me, thank you for your hard work!"

"Then thank you, Boss Zhang!" Li Song chuckled.

"Oh dear, we're not strangers."

Zhang Dehua and Li Song went to Li Song's office first. Zhang Dehua said, "Mr. Li, I've already had the guy who caused trouble for me last time arrested. These bastards really think they're something special just because they're gangsters."

"Okay, let's cooperate a lot in the future." Li Song knew that Hong Kong gangsters were nothing in front of the rich.

"well!"

“Old Tian, ​​this time it’s a patent application for marine outboard motors. There are 14 models and more than 2300 patents in total. You should have a good talk with Zhang Sheng,” Li Song said.
