Chapter 514 Some Dangerous Suggestions
After hearing the words of the responsible comrade, several comrades also laughed and said: "This is a hard and tiring job, you have to save little by little, haha."
The responsible one The comrade smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have already submitted relevant requests when your experiments became clearer and clearer. Now the whole country is in a game of chess, and all ministries and commissions are contributing to our affairs and trying their best. Guarantee our needs.”
It’s coming soon.
If Gao Zhendong could know their conversation, I'm afraid he would have to jump three feet high. The effect is still very obvious. I didn't come here in vain!
——
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there is little movement from the 17th and 12th Machine Departments, but Gao Zhendong received a commendation that has nothing to do with them.
This commendation comes from the Ministry of Foreign Commerce, a ministry that initially sounds like it can’t compete with Gao Zhendong.
As for the content of the commendation, it is very simple, "Advanced Individual in Foreign Business Work". This is really giving Gao Zhendong the title of "Advanced Individual in Earning Foreign Exchange through Export" that they had half-joked about. He just said it directly "Earning foreign exchange through exports" seems a little embarrassing. These days, ministries and commissions are still relatively implicit and use the term "foreign business work" in general.
If this matter spreads, other comrades will definitely be confused. You can say that Comrade Gao Zhendong has nothing to say technically, but you also force him to give him a commendation for his work as a foreign businessman. This is too much. Come on.
Therefore, this matter was not done with much fanfare, but in order to show solemnity, the Ministry of Foreign Commerce formally invited Gao Zhendong over. There was no meeting. Instead, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce personally presented the certificate to him in his office.
Ah, by the way, there is also an artificial leather bag as a prize, a Songjiang brand. In the middle of the bag is a luminous Chinese watch, with a line of gilded words below it saying "Advanced Individual in Foreign Work in 1960".
Gao Zhendong couldn't put it down for this leather bag. This thing is so contemporary. It must be one of the family heirlooms.
Gao Zhendong took the certificate and prize and thanked the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce: "Thank you, leader, and the Ministry of Foreign Commerce for recognizing my work."
The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce couldn't help but smile. He did not smile. The young man in front of him basically single-handedly supported the high-tech foreign trade industry. Although the quantity was not large, the amount was staggering.
"This is what we should do. Your work is very supportive of our work. We feel a little embarrassed about this. We are taking advantage of you, haha."
Why This is because for the Ministry of Foreign Commerce, many things are low-cost or even no-cost businesses, such as software. They never expected that a tape could be sold for a price similar to that of a DJS-59.
You can even get some things from Lao Maozi that you couldn't get before. At this time, this may be more important than money. Money is important, but in many cases it is not the most important.
The two chatted for a while, but the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce was very interested in Gao Zhendong’s ideas.
"It just so happens that you came here today. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. We are all very busy at work, and it is rare to get together. I have always wanted to find you, a great scientist, and hear your opinions on foreign business work. In my opinion, I have never had this condition, but today I have a chance.”
In the eyes of others, it is difficult to say whether Gao Zhendong is a great scientist, but at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, he is a great scientist.
However, these words were still a bit too strong. Gao Zhendong felt that he couldn't bear it: "The leader has given me the award, so I don't dare to accept it. I have no experience in foreign business work and have never participated in it. I may not be able to win it." Come up with any systematic ideas.”
This is not modesty. Gao Zhendong has never been exposed to related matters in his past life. Even in his previous life, he basically never touched on this aspect. thing.
This thing is very complicated, and unlike science and engineering, which is relatively strong in cause and effect, this thing often has no cause and effect, or the cause and effect cannot be grasped, and it is not something Gao Zhendong can touch.
Not to mention laymen like Gao Zhendong, even economists from all walks of life, it is very common for them to sit back on their own shit.
The three magic weapons of economists: survivor bias, pretending to be dead, and eating books.
"It doesn't matter. Say whatever you want. It doesn't have to be theoretical, it can also be done at the practical level." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce is very open-minded.
No need to touch theory? That's much better.
Gao Zhendong felt relieved. It would be easy to cause big problems when dealing with economic theory these days. He was not willing to get into trouble. Don't say he didn't understand. Even if he did understand, it would definitely be wrong. He kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Gao Zhendong pondered for a while: "Leader, I am engaged in technology, and I can only have some vague views on technology. I am not very mature. I will just say it casually, and you can do whatever you want. Then listen to it.”
"Well, that's it, you can say whatever you want, say whatever you want."
"My idea is that the Ministry of Foreign Commerce should take the lead and unite with other departments to protect our national intellectual property rights. Maybe not now. There must be some use, but in the long run, there are many countries that are eyeing our national intellectual property rights and coveting them. "
In fact, there is still culture, but this thing, tsk, everyone knows it. Don't dare to touch. In Gao Zhendong's previous life, there was a very famous video on the Internet - "They are not a country, but a civilization disguised as a country."
Continuously and continuously for thousands of years, smiling at "the dead are like corpse husbands, not giving up day and night", the important part is these things, not just economic benefits, There are also social benefits.
"National intellectual property rights?" The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce were a little surprised. They usually don't think of this aspect now.
“Yes, like our century-old brands, traditional prescriptions, traditional crafts, specialties and famous products, etc. I can’t say, but I think these things should still be protected, and these should be protected internationally. Yes, those are also special products that can be exported to earn foreign exchange. They can’t be stolen by others. I heard that the little devil stole a lot of things from us back then.”
Gao Zhendong can’t say too much, nor can he. It's easy to talk about it too deeply, so we can only focus on foreign businessmen's work and export to earn foreign exchange.
At this time, just pull out the little devil. Once a person who has no temper at all hears this, his temper will rise. In fact, if we get to the 21st century, there will be a country that is more suitable to be used as a target than the little devil, but it is not available at this time.
"Yes, yes, there were too many little devils who stole our things and robbed us. When I was working as a foreign businessman, I saw a lot of them. I was so angry." Speaking of this, The temper of the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce immediately rose.
After scolding, the leader turned back and asked: "What do you think should be done?"
Gao Zhendong said: "I don't understand this aspect, but I think we should discuss it and stipulate it. This type of intellectual property is not allowed to be transferred without authorization, and some kind of permission must be obtained?”
It is impossible to get stuck, and the only way to do this is to set up transaction thresholds and obstacles.
"Well, that makes sense. Do you think brands and trademarks are considered intellectual property rights?"
In the future, this will be one of the hardest-hit areas. Foreigners will acquire national brands and then shelve them. There are too many examples of our national brands being completely wiped out in the course of history. The most typical example is Citigroup’s daily chemical brand. It’s hard to describe what they did.
As for the nonsense about no joint ventures unless a national brand is provided, just listen to it. Will they turn a blind eye to such a huge market and so many high-quality labor forces? What nonsense? How fresh is it? Jackals no longer eat meat but become vegetarian?
"Forget it, of course, think about it, if little devils opened roast duck restaurants all over the world and called them 'Quan X De' or opened hotpot mutton restaurants all over the world and called them 'X Laishun', how would we feel ?”
As Chinese people say, it is most appropriate to start with food. Although not everyone in the world likes to eat these things, just thinking about it can make the Chinese people feel angry and evil, especially when Gao Zhendong assumed that the person who did this was a kid.
"That's definitely not possible! I know, this has to be done. But some things are left over from the old society..."
"Restrict the spread and prevent the spread of the virus." Gao Zhendong said eight words and then stopped talking.
Damn it, it has to be you cultural people who are reasonable anyway. The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce almost cursed.
"Yes, I understand." The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce did not say much.
Gao Zhendong’s eyes are not just focused on tradition: “In addition, our high-tech products should be arranged in terms of intellectual property rights, and I think we cannot ignore it.”< br>
"Well, this problem does exist. You are right to remind us that we need to seize this area. There are not many products now. We can still control it through agreements, national credit and other methods, but we always It needs to be developed. In the future, these old methods will no longer be reliable. We are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them.” The most suitable one at this stage is the Ministry of Foreign Commerce, which has the most external dealings with intellectual property rights. In this regard, not to mention the Bureau of Standards and Regulation, even the foreign affairs department has to lean back.
But how to handle this matter well, the Ministry of Foreign Commerce has to make careful calculations. At this time, it involves not only the intellectual property itself, but also many off-site factors.
After communicating for a while, Gao Zhendong left the Ministry of Foreign Commerce with the prize in hand.
He has no regrets about his somewhat dangerous words today. A true man does something and doesn't do something. He has worked hard all his life just to be able to say a few words when he should speak. Well.
Thinking about what the leaders of the 12th Machinery Department sent over not long ago, there should be no problem. These things will not cause any big trouble to me.
As for the impact of Gao Zhendong’s words, forty years later, when a well-known economic newspaper analyzed the changes in the opening of the country and the gains and losses, the chapter on “National Intellectual Property Rights Gains and Loss” read like this Said.
"This regulation was born in 1961. It was originally intended to restrict regulations, but twenty or thirty years later it became the biggest weapon in the hands of intellectual property protection workers. Using it, a large number of national intellectual property rights and traditional industries were successfully saved. , in sharp contrast to the small group that is committed to foreign investment.”
Later, the newspaper also added: “Considering that the initiator of this regulation is the famous scientist Mr. Gao Zhendong, this makes We have reasonable suspicion that its starting point was originally for this purpose, but due to historical reasons, it had to be put on another piece of clothing.”
