Chapter 113 Big Leader Father-in-Law
After leaving the meeting room, Li Kailang returned to Zhang Jinwu's office.

"Xiao Li, what do you think? What did the leader say?" Zhang Jinwu asked

"Don't worry, Master. The leaders all take it very seriously. They all support my invention and ideas, and are now looking for people to help me."

"That's good! That's good!" said Zhang Jinwu.

"So what else do you need to prepare now?"

"Nothing much, just write a report and hand it in."

"Then write quickly! Write quickly! There is no task today, so I'll leave the office to you. You must write carefully!" Zhang Jinwu said seriously.
"Don't worry, Master! I know what I'm doing!" Li Kailang assured.

"Okay, you write it, I'm out!" After saying that, Zhang Jinwu left the office.

"The next step will be difficult!" Li Kailang said helplessly, and started writing according to the format on the patent book.

"Lao Zhang, why did you come out?" Master Lin asked.

"What? Can't I come out?" Zhang Jinwu said.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Aren't you usually in the office at this time?" Master Lin asked.

"The office is for Xiao Li. He needs to write a report. Don't go to the office to disturb him if you have nothing to do!" Zhang Jinwu explained.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, has the leader agreed?"

"I agree. I heard from Xiao Li that several leaders are busy looking for people to report it. This is a big deal! We can earn foreign exchange!" Zhang Jinwu said.

It is not easy to apply for a patent nowadays. You need to apply for a patent in each country where you apply for a patent, and the procedures and formalities are very cumbersome.

It was not until June 1970, 6 that several countries held a diplomatic conference in Washington and signed the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

From now on, applicants only need to submit a patent application once and do not need to apply to other countries afterwards.

However, it should be noted that this procedure only simplifies the application stage but does not include the review and authorization stages.

There are three stages in applying for a patent, and each stage takes a long time.

Otherwise, why did Nils Bolin apply for a patent in the United States in 1959, but was not granted the patent until 1962?

However, it is still very difficult for the old city to apply for a patent.

The current diplomatic situation in Sijiu City is not good, and Li Kailang is not sure whether he can apply for a patent.

But one thing is that whether they succeed or not, these two inventions will be used for free in Beijing.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, you said Xiao Li applied for a patent, so do we have to pay to use it?" Master Zhao asked.

"Well, I don't know what Xiao Li thinks, but I don't think it's necessary!" Zhang Jinwu guessed.

"It would be best not to use it. Just making a seat belt takes a lot of fabric. If you have to pay for it, I don't know how many people will use it!" Master Zhao said worriedly.

"And this brake water tank is also a good helper for our driver! With it, we are not afraid of some roads anymore!"

"Yes! After Xiao Li comes out, I will go and persuade him." Zhang Jinwu comforted.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Now the city is in a period of great construction and there is a huge demand for heavy-duty trucks.

In 1958, the national automobile production output value was 1.6 vehicles, of which heavy-duty trucks accounted for 1.36 vehicles.

As of 1959, the national car ownership was only 21.09.

Li Kailang had already made up his mind not to charge patent fees in China.

But now he has handed in the patent, and it is not up to him to decide whether to accept it or not. He is just the inventor and has a certain say.

You can’t collect much money from patent fees in the country, you can only make money by collecting patents in China.

In 1960, the United States produced 800 million cars, and when combined with the production of other countries, the total was million.

We can only make money by collecting patent fees from foreign countries. This money is all foreign exchange, and we can also use this money to buy food better.

Ministry of Metallurgy.

Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang were walking hurriedly towards the office of the top leader.

At this time, the leader looked at the document in front of him with a distressed look. The document required the leader to prepare the necessary iron-making equipment as soon as possible.

This is exactly what the top leader is worried about. The higher-ups want a large number of iron-making machines, but the Ministry of Metallurgy has no money.

I need equipment, but there is none!

I want money, but I don’t have any!

What's more, these machines are all foreign products, and the foreign exchange required to purchase these iron-making equipment exceeds the quota given above.

The leader touched his thinning hair, and as he touched it, he pulled out a few strands.

"Ah~"

"Boss! Boss!" Director Lu shouted a few times outside the door, then opened the door and came in.

"Xiao Yang, why are you here?" the big boss said, closing the file.

"Boss, there's something going on! It's a big thing!" Director Lu said hurriedly, and Deputy Director Yang quickly closed the door.

"Don't be anxious, talk slowly!" The big boss waved his hand, signaling Director Lu to slow down!

"Huff, huff..." Director Lu paused for a while.

"Boss, a great thing happened in our factory"

After listening to Director Lu's description, the leader's expression gradually changed from distress to serious, and he looked at Director Lu seriously.

"Stop! Xiao Lu, I know you want to contribute to Sijiu City, but you can't just believe what a young man says!"

"Bang!" The big boss slapped the table.

"Xiao Lu, have you lost your mind because of working in production? You just believe whatever others say."

"Don't be fooled. Do you really think foreign exchange is so easy to make money?"

The top leader knows how foreign exchange is earned in Sijiu City.

To exaggerate a little, people are not eating well nowadays, and one of the reasons is to earn foreign exchange.

But no one has any complaints about this, but the lack of complaints does not mean that this is a natural thing.

The big boss can't let Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang be deceived by Li Kailang's "sweet words"!
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Yang, I understand your eagerness to earn foreign exchange."

"But there is no such thing as a free lunch. I can't stand watching you being cheated by Comrade Li!" the big leader said sternly.

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and Deputy Director Yang hurriedly said:
"Boss, don't worry, we were not deceived. We both listened to Comrade Li's statement and thought the same as you did."

"But this is based on facts. Comrade Li Kailang didn't lie to us!" Deputy Director Yang said, taking out the patent and safety belt from his bag.

"Boss, look at this patent book. It has all of these things," said Deputy Director Yang, pointing at the patent book.

"Boss, don't worry, we have not been deceived. Once you finish reading it, you will understand everything." Director Lu also said.

The big boss looked at the two suspiciously, and said angrily: "Okay, then I want to see if it is really as you said."

The big boss quickly read the contents of the patent and remained silent.

Every word in the book showed that what the two said was true, so he had to believe it, but the leader still couldn't believe it. "Could this book be fake or forged?" The leader didn't give up.

"Boss, don't worry. This book is real. Haven't you seen it? It has been translated word for word. If it is fake, who can translate it word for word?" Director Lu explained.

The big boss looked at the patent and admitted that his previous words were too arbitrary.

"You just said that Comrade Li's invention can earn foreign exchange?" the leader asked uncertainly.

Director Lu nodded vigorously, "Really, big boss, look, I brought everything with me!"

As he spoke, Director Lu took out a safety belt and two drawings.

The big boss held the patent in his left hand and the blueprint in his right hand, pacing back and forth, thinking.

The two looked at their leader with some surprise, as this was the first time for them to see him looking worried.

The two looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"It seems that the leader also takes it seriously!" The two of them couldn't help but feel relieved.

The big boss paced back and forth, and suddenly opened the document on the table. The problem that had been troubling him could now be solved.

"If it's really like what Xiao Lu said, as long as we apply for a patent, we can not only buy equipment, but also earn foreign exchange in the future."

"Not only that, maybe I can pull it up a little bit more!"

The big boss became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He is currently at the vice-ministerial level and it would be difficult to move up without great achievements.

He originally thought that he would stay in this position until retirement, but now a good opportunity is right in front of him!
"Okay, okay! Xiao Lu, what does Comrade Li want?" said the leader.

"Boss, Comrade Li has only one request, which is to apply for a patent as soon as possible!" Director Lu replied immediately.

"It seems that Comrade Li is very concerned about this matter!" the leader asked again, and then changed the subject:
"But it's not that easy! If you want to apply for a patent abroad, it's not easy for other departments to do it without some data!"

"Yes, sir, that's what I originally thought, but Comrade Li did come up with an idea," Director Lu replied.

"Hurry up and tell me!" asked the big boss.

"He said that the patent application and test data should be carried out simultaneously, so that when the data is needed, we can produce it!" Director Lu replied.

"That's a good idea, what else does he have to say!"

The two shook their heads, and Deputy Director Yang said, "Big Leader, that's all. Comrade Li also said that he is willing to donate the patent to the country free of charge!"

"Good good!!!"

Upon hearing this, the big boss couldn't help but applaud.

"Take me to meet Comrade Li if you have the chance. You have done a good job in cultivating such conscious young people. You deserve praise!" said the leader.

The two of them couldn't help but feel happy, because the big boss not only had them under his command, but also people from other factories.

Everyone is in a competitive relationship, and being able to show up more in front of senior leaders will also be beneficial for future promotions.

Especially Director Lu, he is not far from promotion, but he has not yet decided which department he will be in.

With this achievement, I think he will be assigned to a good position.

"Okay, if this is really as you said, I will fully support you and I will go find someone now!" the leader said bluntly.

"Boss, we'll go with you," the two said hurriedly. This was a chance to show off in front of other leaders.

"No need. It's still uncertain whether this will succeed. I'll go. You go back and keep an eye on Comrade Li and ask him to write the report as soon as possible so that I can report to the higher-ups." The big boss ordered.

The big boss didn't care about their thoughts. Li Kailang's affairs were the top priority, and following him might not be a good thing.

"Understood!" the two responded.

"Okay, leave your things here, I'm leaving now. When you go back, remember to keep an eye on Comrade Li!" the big boss ordered.

After saying that, he took his things and left.

On the other side, Li Huaide also found his father-in-law.

"You mean, several leaders in your factory knew about it at that time." Father Li asked.

"Yes, everyone is here and knows about it!" Li Huaide responded immediately.

Father Li originally scoffed at Li Huaide's affairs, but when he heard that even Secretary Wang was present and cared about this matter, he had to take it seriously.

"Old Wang is not a man who would do something without a purpose. It seems he cares about it too!" Father Li murmured to himself.

Father Li then looked at Li Huaide and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Li Huaide quickly explained: "Father-in-law, I just thought that the factory's affairs should be handled by the factory, and there is no way to avoid the steel rolling mill."

"Besides, this invention is to earn foreign exchange, which is a big deal. If the ministry brings this up, how will the people below view it? Won't they accuse the ministry of stealing credit?"

"Besides, this matter will eventually be reported to the higher authorities, and we can't avoid Secretary Wang."

Hearing this, Father Li also nodded.

"Also, tell the factory that if anything goes wrong, the higher-ups won't be held responsible. This test data is not a small matter, and the Ministry of Metallurgy hasn't called on anyone to do so. Only Secretary Wang can report it, and we can't avoid Secretary Wang anyway."

Li Huaide finished speaking in one breath and couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Seeing Li Huaide's appearance, Li's father also made a cup of tea for Li Huaide.

Li Huaide took the tea respectfully.

Seeing his father's condescending look, Li Huaide thought, "If I report this to the department, what benefit will I get? It's better to share the credit with those people than to have it all taken away by them."

"If I get eaten, my road to success will be endless!"

Father Li didn't care about Li Huaide's little thoughts and thought about this matter. After all, Li Huaide was his son-in-law. He came to his father-in-law for help, so he couldn't just ignore him.

Besides, this is a good thing.

"Okay, I know about this. I'll find someone to take charge right away. You go back first and keep an eye on Comrade Li and finish writing his report."

"I understand, father-in-law." Li Huaide responded.

Father Li waved his hand, and Li Huaide also understood the situation. He drank the last sip of tea and turned to leave.

Father Li knew what kind of character Li Huaide had. If his daughter hadn't insisted on marrying Li Huaide, he would never have agreed.

Father Li is also aware of Li Huaide's abilities. As long as there is an opportunity, he will seize it and do everything he can to get ahead. As a result, his daughter is not worthy of Li Huaide.

If you want Li Huaide to be good to his daughter, you have to keep Li Huaide under your command until he is promoted. Only then can Li Huaide be respectful to his daughter, and the family can be happy.

What Li's father thought was correct. After Li Huaide gained a foothold in the steel mill, he found many women.

After Li Huaide left his father, he happened to meet Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang.

"Is the deal settled?" asked Director Lu.

Li Huaide nodded, "You guys agreed too?"

The two also nodded, "Okay, it's settled. It has nothing to do with us from now on. Wait for the leader to notify you and go back first!"

"Yes! Li Kailang made quite a noise this time, so we need to keep a close eye on him." Li Huaide also said.

The three of them knew what was on each other's mind.
