Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 133 Home Appliance Patent Application (Fifth update, please subscribe and vote)
Uncle Hao didn't put all his bets on Li Song; he was just suggesting that there were other avenues to explore.

After Uncle Hao replied to Tian Jiahui, he led a group of men away, leaving a few underlings behind to relay messages.

Because if we don't run now, it will be too late, and the price of diamonds is likely to drop even faster.

Li Song got up early on Sunday morning as usual.

In the morning, I still went to assist Amin with her writing, mainly explaining to her how to conceive the main plot and how to create conflict.

In the afternoon, I accompanied Arlene shopping around and bought lots of things.

These things aren't worth much money.

Of course, Li Song would work overtime at night to write some articles.

Holding Arlene to sleep, I couldn't fall asleep.

On Monday morning, Li Song dropped A-Lin off at school and then rented a large van.

The van drove around Hong Kong Island.

At ten o'clock, Li Song drove the car to Parkson Company.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li!!" Zhang Dehua saw a large van parked on the side of the road inside the Parkson Company. Then the driver's side door opened, and Li Song got out and quickly ran out!

As Zhang Dehua ran, he noticed that the car's tires were somewhat flat.

"This time it's some patent applications for home appliances," Li Song said as he shook hands with Zhang Dehua.

"boss!"

"Boss!" Li Song's employees and Zhang Dehua's employees also came over one after another.

"Move the things from the car to the conference room."

"Make sure to register the patent!" Li Songhua hadn't finished speaking.

Zhang Dehua then loudly proclaimed, "Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat you to lunch, and tonight I'll treat you all to karaoke!"

"thank you boss!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" It was Zhang Dehua's employee who said thank you to the boss, and it was Li Song's employee who said thank you to Mr. Zhang.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Zhang!"

"I heard your business has been doing well lately!" Li Song watched everyone moving things, and then chatted with Zhang Dehua on the side.

Several bodyguards were unable to come out yet because they couldn't speak the language.

"Those little notebooks were eager to hand over money, but this time they're much more disciplined!"

"These people are just shameless!" Zhang Dehua looked at the cardboard boxes and couldn't stop smiling.

That's equivalent to boxes and boxes of banknotes.

"It contains patents for eight categories and more than thirty models of products, including televisions, rice cookers, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, ovens, and pressure cookers!" Li Song said.

"Li Sheng is going to make a fortune again!" Zhang Dehua thought that all of this was brought by Li Song from the mainland.

After all, there aren't many patents in mainland China yet.

This is actually what Li Song wanted; these people in Hong Kong thought they got the technology from the mainland.

Meanwhile, those on the mainland believed they had obtained the technology from laboratories in other countries.

When Li Song was at Parkson Company.

The motorcycles manufactured by BMW Motorrad were sent to various locations: some to Kyoto, some to the southwest, and some to northern Xinjiang, because Li Song had said these motorcycles would be used for testing by frontline police stations. Higher authorities also wanted to assess the motorcycles' overall performance, so the first batch was sent to relatively harsh environments.

Another group is preparing to depart from Chengdu and head to the plateau.

Regardless of how much Li Song contributed, the fact that they gave him so many motorcycles is remarkable.

Since they want to test it, then test it properly and find the flaws if they are found.

Not far from Li Song's small courtyard house, a police post has quietly appeared.

There were also two brand-new police motorcycles parked there.

Motorcycles were allocated based on the terrain: 125cc motorcycles were assigned to areas with complex and difficult terrain.

In plain areas, motorcycles of model 80 were assigned.

Li Song's allocation of motorcycles was not excessive.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., everyone ate boxed lunches for lunch.

Finally, I've figured out the number of patents. There are over two hundred design patents, ranging from major design patents to minor ones like buttons and button layouts.

In addition, there are more than 1,900 utility patents, including compressor motor controllers, etc.

Of course, the appearance, design patent, manufacturing process, and technology are separate documents.

Manufacturing processes and technologies are secrets that all manufacturers must keep confidential.

This is why, later on, many companies were able to design chips, but were somewhat powerless when it came to manufacturing them.

That's because design is only a small part of it.

Because once your physical product is produced, others can deduce your design from the design drawings.

Manufacturing processes and technologies are the most crucial elements.

Without the manufacturing process and technology, even if someone disassembles your product into individual parts and then reassembles them, they still cannot manufacture it!
Because it involves a wide variety of product categories and types, the patent application fee is relatively high this time.

Furthermore, Zhang Dehua also discovered that this time there was a color television controlled by a remote, as well as an air conditioner controlled by a remote.

The price negotiations lasted for two hours, and the final price was HK$4.6 million.

Li Song also knew that the fees for patent searches by relevant agencies were relatively high when the patent registration process involved many product categories.

Just like the marine outboard motors produced last time, although many patents were applied for, they were all in the same category and the core design was the same. As long as one core design was not duplicated, the entire patent could basically be approved.

Li Song didn't go to karaoke that night.

"I wonder what bad luck those household appliance companies are going to face again." Li Song glanced at the compressor patent technology today and thought it was probably a patent technology that a major air conditioning manufacturer would release in the next few years, but he wasn't sure.

Because the designers who create these drawings in the future will be standing on the shoulders of giants, making it easy for them to draw inspiration from later designs and create their own.

The design only needs to comply with the manufacturing technology at the end of 1981 and not infringe on the patents of that time.

"After we go back this time, we can have the mainland come and pick up the data for the marine outboard motor next week!"

"At that time, the Pearl River will probably be full of all kinds of big flying boats!" Li Song had heard the legend of big flying boats in his previous life. They were mainly concentrated in the Pearl River and a port in Guangxi Province.

Li Song couldn't rest that night because Liu Jiale arrived with two editors who had written "Treasure Mystery" and "Tomb Raider Notes".

After Li Song took a look, he realized the problem was too big, and Liu Jiale also sighed, "Boss, it doesn't look right."

"I'll offer some suggestions for revisions, and then we'll take a look," Li Song said.

"I also find someone to write it for me."

"A two-pronged approach." Li Song knew that a good writer would be in high demand in the future. In fact, Li Song just wanted to cultivate talent and build a novel platform.
