Chapter 47 He is determined to take the title of No. 1
Chapter 47 He is determined to take the first place
As for patents, no matter whether you can use them or not, it is a good thing to register them first.
Even if you can't use it yourself, you can use it to create obstacles for other manufacturers. At worst, you can use these patents to exchange patents with other manufacturers!
Or you can just do nothing and collect patent fees. It would be nice to be a patent troll.
No one can avoid patent issues in the future. Either I sue you or you sue me. This is normal in this high-tech field and there is no need to make a fuss about it.
In the future, Zhiyun Technology will inevitably be involved in a series of patent lawsuits... If you have not fought a hundred patent lawsuits and other various lawsuits, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a large high-tech enterprise!
Whether you are the defendant or the suing someone, patent lawsuits are the best display of strength... Patent lawsuits are very expensive.
If you don’t have some strength, you can’t even afford a lawsuit!
Many other lawsuits are also a symbol of corporate strength. There is a saying that goes like this: Companies that have not been investigated or sued for antitrust violations are generally not very strong...
If Zhiyun Technology wants to grow into a large enterprise in the future, fighting hundreds of patent lawsuits is a must... Just like leveling up and fighting monsters, these are the various small monsters that must be cleared before killing the BOS.
So for Zhiyun Technology, how can it gain an advantage in future patent wars?
There is no doubt that it is most effective to register a large number of patents that others cannot bypass in advance.
You use patents to disgust me, and I will use patents to disgust you too. Come on, let’s hurt each other together and see who can disgust the other more!
Therefore, Xu Shenxue has always been very active in registering various patents. He has previously registered a large number of patents for the appearance of various mobile phones and even some future smart devices that have not yet appeared.
Then there are all kinds of miscellaneous technical patents. No matter whether you can apply for them or whether they are useful or not, you should just apply for them first.
The same thing is done with gesture operations today, and all the patents that should be registered are registered first.
After all, it’s always a good idea to reserve a spot in advance.
This approach of being a patent troll has also led to Zhiyun Technology submitting a large number of patent applications every few days...
Many important patents have been registered in major countries around the world, and a lot of money has been spent on patent registration.

Xu Shenxue repeatedly conducted various tests on Zhiyun C1, opening various apps and testing various functions.
After testing for half a day, Xu Shenxue said: "The overall interactive design of the system is pretty good. It is very easy to use and the system runs very smoothly. To be honest, this has exceeded my expectations!"
"Your work is even better than I expected!"
Xu Shenxue looked around at everyone as he spoke: "When we first started making smartphones last year, many people said that smartphones were difficult to make. Nowadays, only large foreign manufacturers can make them, and we Chinese have never come into contact with any smartphones, and we don't even understand the system!"
“But now it seems that our choice was not wrong. We can do it and do it very well!”
At this time, Xie Jianyong also sighed: "Yes, last year I couldn't imagine that we could actually make a smart phone in such a short time. Even a month ago, we were not sure about it. But in just one month, we quickly overcame a lot of problems and finally made this prototype!"
Some other engineers also had their own sighs, especially Song Changhai who was in charge of system optimization... He himself couldn't imagine that he could lead people to develop the system in such a short time.
You know, customizing an optimization system is quite difficult. However, when he was working with dozens of system engineers, they made rapid progress and did not encounter any major technical difficulties. They made modifications one by one step every day, and finally finished it slowly.
Moreover, the system optimization is quite good, at least it meets many of the requirements put forward by Mr. Xu. Although there are still some details to be improved, the overall problem is not big.
Xie Jianyong and Song Changhai both had this feeling, and others basically had similar feelings.
How should I put it? It seems that a smartphone is not that difficult to make. I just made it while working on it... It's just some system optimization and hardware assembly. It doesn't seem to have any technical difficulty. It feels like I made an assembled copycat phone!
But reason tells them that this is an illusion... In fact, the R&D of smartphones is extremely difficult. Haven’t you seen that the R&D engineers in other mobile phone manufacturers are all tortured to death by smartphones?
It is too difficult and troublesome to use a smart phone in this day and age.
It is difficult for others to do it, but it is very easy for us to do it... This is very confusing!
However, the engineers of Zhiyun Technology naturally didn’t know that the reason why their research and development speed was so fast was entirely because Xu Shenxue had arranged systematic scientific research quotas for them, which directly gave them a brain enhancement!
In addition, there is another important reason why things have been going relatively smoothly in the past half month, and that is that the C1 mobile phone they developed was not the phone Xu Shenxue wanted at the beginning!
Xu Shenxue's original requirements for the mobile phone were that it should be ten millimeters thick, with a metal or glass back cover, good heat dissipation, smooth operation, and long battery life... This was the kind of smartphone Xu Shenxue wanted.
Instead of the current Zhiyun C1, which is millimeters thick and has a rounded plastic body... To be honest, Xu Shenxue feels that this thing, as well as other contemporary smartphones, basically have a retro and cheap feel from the last century.
He can't appreciate it!
After all, in Xu Shenxue's era, slightly better mobile phones either had metal bodies or glass bodies, and there was no such thing as plastic bodies.
But at this time, Zhiyun Technology had been struggling for a long time but still couldn't come up with a metal body or a glass body. In addition, it had to release the phone before other manufacturers. Finally, Xu Shenxue had no choice but to lower the technical requirements, and finally he had the C1 phone.
Of course, there is no need to say these words in an occasion like today. More than 200 people in the R&D department work overtime every night, and have been eating and living in the company recently. They worked hard to make such a mobile phone, which is not worse than other smart phones on the market.
At this time, if Xu Shenxue said: "This broken thing is very old-fashioned and annoying to look at..."
Even Xie Jianyong, a good guy, would probably have a falling out with him on the spot!
At this time, Xu Shenxue handed the Zhiyun C1 in his hand to the assistant next to him: "Take a picture for us!"
Then he turned to the dozen engineers and said, "Come, take a group photo with our first mobile phone to remember this historic moment!"
A group of engineers at the back also stood up with smiles on their faces. They felt proud that this phone could be made.
As everyone stood in position, the assistant also took this photo.
In the photo, Xu Shenxue was wearing a white shirt without a tie. Instead, one button was undone and his sleeves were rolled up. He was sitting cross-legged on the floor with a bright smile on his face.
Behind him, on his left and right, were Xie Jianyong, Song Changhai and a dozen other people, some standing, some squatting, or just sitting cross-legged on the floor. They all faced the camera with bright smiles!
After the photo shoot, Xu Shenxue directly brought Xie Jianyong and Song Changhai, and then called Ji Chenghe, Luo Yinian, and even Bai Qiwen and other senior executives of Weiku Electronics next door.
Start discussing the Zhiyun mobile phone launch conference!
Now that the sample has been made, no matter whether it is mature or not, how to carry out the subsequent mass production, and how many details need to be improved, Xu Shenxue has to hold a press conference first!
He is determined to take the title of China's first domestically produced smartphone!
This is not just a matter of reputation, but it concerns the subsequent brand positioning and even the subsequent sales of C1 mobile phones!
As long as it can grab the title of the first domestically produced smartphone, Zhiyun Technology will become a national hit overnight and a famous high-tech company without having to spend a lot of effort on publicity.
Zhiyun phones will be known by most people who pay attention to current affairs and technological products, and they are known for their positioning as mid-to-high-end smartphones.
Because this is the first domestically produced smartphone, breaking the blockade of foreign big-brand smartphones and filling the domestic gap in domestic smartphones!
No matter what it is like, this title alone can make it popular overnight!
And what Xu Shenxue wants is to become famous overnight!
