Hong Kong films: From street thugs to Hong Kong financial tycoons

Chapter 80 The Patent Frenzy Forges a Moat, Lin Yao's Extreme Patience!

Hong Kong, Tai Po Industrial Area, New Territories, Yaosheng Technology's core cleanroom laboratory.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The only sound in the entire laboratory was heavy, even somewhat nervous, breathing.

On the CRT screen, the lifelike 3D flying zombie smoothly completed a 360-degree turn as the mouse was dragged.

There was no lag whatsoever, and no nauseating screen tearing!

Fueled by a burst of inspiration, and with Peter's newly created prototype of the first-generation GPU graphics processor.

This bare machine, without even a chassis, somehow managed to produce a terrifying display that would make the entire Western tech world of the 1980s kneel down and sing praises of conquest. Lu Qiu stared intently at the screen, his eyes filled with horrifying bloodshot veins.

He didn't continue the celebration or open the champagne. As a top architect who had worked his way up in Silicon Valley, he knew all too well the robber logic of the Americans.

"Peter!"

Lu Qiu turned his head abruptly, his voice hoarse, yet revealing a chilling clarity and ruthlessness.

"Getting the graphics working is only the first step. Immediately, all engineers involved in writing the core code should stop all their work."

Peter paused, scratching his head in confusion. "Lu, we're in excellent shape right now. Give me just three more days, and I could even optimize the light and shadow reflection algorithm by another ten percent. Why do we need to stop?"

"Because we're going to dig a moat, a bottomless trench of despair that no giant in the world can cross!"

Lu Qiu slammed his fist on the table and roared through gritted teeth, "Do you think we're invincible just because we've developed a 3D engine and a GPU? The Americans have the world's largest and most shameless team of patent troll lawyers."

"If we dare to sell our products without applying for patents, they can easily copy them tomorrow and then accuse us of infringement!"

Lu Qiu grabbed the internal hotline next to him and dialed the number of Chen Zheng, the chief legal counsel of Yaosheng Capital.

It was already 4 a.m. Chen Zheng, who had just flown back to Hong Kong from New York and had only slept for less than two hours, was forcibly woken up by this deadly series of calls.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, what's this in the middle of the night—"

Chen Zheng rubbed his temples, his voice weary.

"Old Chen, wake the hell up! Wake up every lawyer in our Yaosheng Capital's legal department who has won international awards."

Lu Qiu roared hysterically on the other end of the phone: "Bring all your recording equipment, confidentiality agreements, and international patent application forms, and come to Tai Po Industrial Zone immediately."

"I developed the world's first pure 3D game engine algorithm, and Peter developed the world's first GPU hardware physical architecture."

"With the addition of MSI's modified underlying system, we now hold multiple core patent barriers that are enough to revolutionize human history."

"Before dawn, I want your legal department to lock all these patents up in patent offices worldwide. Anyone who dares to miss even a single line of core code in their patent application will be torn to pieces!"

boom!

Upon hearing these words, Chen Zheng on the other end of the phone felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and all his drowsiness vanished instantly.

Multiple disruptive core patents? This is like uprooting the entire technology tree and bringing it home with you!

"Understood, I'll immediately send the top patent team in Hong Kong to your office!"

Chen Zheng was so excited that he was trembling all over.

"President Lu, well done! This time, we'll use patent barriers to strangle the Americans!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiu let out a long sigh of relief and slumped into his chair.

The foundation has been laid harder than diamond; all that's left is the tedious work of adding bricks and tiles.

Deep in the mountains of Sichuan, on the viewing platform at the edge of the Taiji Square on Yuntai Peak.

The first rays of morning sunlight gently pierced through the vast sea of ​​clouds, illuminating Lin Yao's perfectly sculpted profile.

Unlike the fast-paced, high-tech meat grinders of Hong Kong, here in the mountains, even the dust in the air seems to be dancing gracefully.

Lin Yao, dressed in a pure white Tai Chi uniform, was sitting in a grand chair, resting with his eyes closed.

"Buzz—"

Just then, a pale blue light screen, visible only to Lin Yao, gently popped out in front of his retina.

[The Godly Wealth Prediction Panel: Data Update Notification!]

[Detection indicates that Yaosheng Technology, under the host's name, has successfully built a full 3D physics engine and the underlying architecture of the Loongson 1.0 operating system!]

-

Global patent barriers are being built at a rapid pace —

[In-depth analysis of wealth prediction: Once this technology matrix is ​​officially released globally, it will completely monopolize the global high-end personal PC market and video game ecosystem in a very short period of time.]

[It is projected that within six months, the host's available liquidity pool will experience an epic surge, surpassing the $200 billion mark!]

Looking at the rows of cold yet exhilarating predictive data on the panel, a desolate smile appeared on Lin Yao's lips.

"Two hundred billion US dollars in liquid cash. If that were all converted into hundred-dollar bills, it could probably bury Yuntai Peak alive."

Lin Yao clicked his tongue inwardly. Although numbers had lost their appeal to him, the sense of control he felt—the ability to strategize and win from afar—was truly exhilarating.

"Boss, your morning tea is ready. It's your favorite pre-Qingming Longjing tea."

Chingmy Yau carried an exquisite purple clay tea tray and walked over quietly.

She had no scenes to film today, and was wearing a loose-fitting sweater that made her look comfortable and gentle.

Lin Yao opened his eyes, took the teacup, and gently inhaled the refreshing aroma of the tea.

"How's the filming going downstairs?"

He asked casually, glancing towards the film set in the distance.

On set at this moment, Fatty Wang was unusually calm and patiently explaining the scenes to Wang Zuxian and several other supporting actors.

This is a drama that tests one's inner emotions; there is no bombardment of mechanical action or zombies, only a delicate and poignant Eastern melancholy.

"Director Wang seems like a completely different person these past few days."

Chingmy Yau covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"He said that since you, boss, have given him so much funding and time, if he were to make another one of those fast-food style rubbish films, he wouldn't even have the face to see you."

"Now, even for a close-up of a few seconds of eye contact, he has to have the lighting technician adjust the lighting and shadows repeatedly for half an hour."

"That's right."

Lin Yao took a sip of tea and leaned back lazily in his chair.

"Slow and steady wins the race. I want to use the most abundant funds to bring out the craftsman spirit in their bones."

"Whether it's movies or technology, things that truly stand the test of time are never rushed."

On this pleasant morning, the encrypted satellite phone on the coffee table started beeping.

Lin Yao put down his teacup and pressed the answer button.

"Boss, it's done! It's all done!"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Qiu's voice was hoarse like sandpaper, but it conveyed an extreme emptiness and ecstasy of accomplishment.

"The underlying UI graphical interface is already built, and the 3D game engine is perfectly integrated with the system. Old Chen, along with his legal team, spent two whole days and nights securing all the patents globally!"

"Boss, just say the word and we can assemble and roll out the first Loongson supercomputer at any time."

"Should we hold a global press conference right now and give those old fogies on Wall Street a good slap in the face?"

Lu Qiu couldn't wait to see the expressions of despair on the faces of the Western tech community.

However, in the face of Lu Qiu's fervent request to fight, Lin Yao simply blew on the steam rising from the rim of his cup.

"Press conference? What's the rush?"

Lin Yao's voice was like a bucket of cold water, precisely poured onto Lu Qiu's feverish brain.

"Lu Qiu, I taught you that in this world, good things come to those who wait. The more powerful a nuclear weapon is, the more terrifying the long countdown before the launch button is pressed."

Lin Yao stood up, walked to the edge of the viewing platform, and looked down at the bottomless cliff.

"Your system is just a bare skeleton right now. The game engine is done, but what about the level design, the texture detail, and the mouse click feedback sound effects?"

"What I want is not a working, half-finished product; I want a perfect work of art that will leave users worldwide in awe and utterly captivated the moment they hold it!"

Lin Yao's tone became stern, revealing an unquestionable tyrannical will.

"Tell Peter and the software team to scrutinize every single detail with utmost rigor."

"Even if there's a single bug in the system that causes a crash, or even a single physics collision error in the game that causes clipping, don't you dare mention the press conference to me."

"I want you to spend the next whole month conducting insane internal stress tests, polishing every single line of code until it shines like a diamond!"

Lu Qiu, on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a moment by the scolding, but then broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, I was too hasty; I almost let the joy of success cloud my judgment.

If you were to hold a global launch event with a half-finished product that occasionally crashes, and then make a fool of yourself during the demonstration, it would be like sticking your face out to be slapped by those rats on Wall Street.

"The boss is brilliant; I was too impetuous!"

Lu Qiu took a deep breath, his tone becoming calm and respectful again.

"I immediately assembled a team to conduct a comprehensive, closed-loop bug-hunting and detail-refining process to ensure that the system leaving the factory is even more precise than a Swiss watch!"

"Yes, that's right."

Lin Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"This month will be used to wait for the filming of the movie at Yuntai Peak to wrap up."

"The day the movie wraps up is also the same day as the movie's premiere and the global launch of the Loongson supercomputer."

"I want to perfectly combine the visual impact of Eastern mythology with the physical cheat codes you've created."

"I will let this storm belonging to Yaosheng Technology slowly and flawlessly destroy the Western digital Great Wall!"
