Homecoming of Rebirth

Qi Lei, "Some people complain that Chinese cars are not good, medicine is not innovative, this is not good, and that is not good."

"It is undeniable that it is indeed a little bit worse, but is it really that the Chinese are not smart? Can't research it? Is the national system not conducive to technology research?"

"That's not true! It's the patent barriers! They can block the road for you. If you want to go, you can only take a detour, or spend most of the profits in exchange for patents."

Seeing that everyone is still not impressed, "Let me give you a few more examples."

Everyone, "you say."

Qi Lei, "Do you know that Angora cattle, the main breed of beef cattle in the world, have been registered by them?"

Everyone, "..."

Qi Lei, "Currently all the ranches in the world are raising this kind of cattle. If you want to breed yourself, you can only buy their breeding cow JZ."

"..."

"A breeding cow can produce 100 million JZs in a lifetime, and each one costs 300 yuan, which is equivalent to selling you 3 million yuan for a breeding cow."

"!!!"

……

Chapter 507 Shu Road

Qi Lei cited a lot of examples, but these are only superficial.

"One cow can create a value of [-] million yuan for them!"

"Then, in order to prevent you from breeding better cattle than theirs, they applied for hundreds of defensive patents. Let alone imitation, it is impossible to make a breakthrough in this direction."

Qi Lei, "Do you know that the breeding of the broiler chicken we just introduced - the white feather chicken is also a patent of others?"

"This kind of chicken is quick to slaughter and has high meat yield. Other broiler chicken breeds are not competitive at all. Moreover, the breeding method is not complicated. One of our biological breeding research institutes has bred its own white feather chicken breed in a few months."

"However, it's useless to research it, and it can't be used commercially. You can only buy other people's chickens."

Everyone, "..."

Qi Lei, "Do you know how much of China's seed industry from grain seeds to vegetables and fruits will be occupied by foreign seed companies in the next few years?"

"Estimated to be more than 70%! This is only when the problem of soybean seeds and some seeds has been solved."

"Perhaps you think it's because our movements are slow, no wonder others. Well, there are still fast ones!"

"After the genetically modified soybeans were bred in Shangbei's seed laboratory, they also conquered new cotton seeds. However, we were one step too late, and only one step. Monsanto only took a ppt and theoretical verification. Without the real thing, it was in a foreign country. A similar patent has been registered in advance.”

"As a result, our cotton seeds cannot be promoted abroad, and the cotton grown in our country cannot be sold abroad, basically losing its economic value."

Everyone, "!!!"

Qi Lei, "This is like the road to Shu, where there is only one small path in the vast mountains."

"Just like a breakthrough in technology, there is only one path that is the most concise, time-saving and labor-saving."

"And the one who went first not only passed through, but also repaired the Jianmen Pass on this road."

"I found the road. If you want to pass here, you have to pay the toll!"

"I'm not happy, I'll lock the city gate to prevent you from passing through."

"So, as latecomers, what should we do if we get stuck? Or, you take the harvest and pay the toll obediently, and let him decide whether to let you pass."

"Or, you can only open up your own way out by cutting through mountains and rocks."

"It's self-evident how difficult it is."

"Besides, when you have all kinds of difficulties and finally opened a road where there is no road, built a sword gate, and planned to collect tolls, the price of the road that is much easier than yours began to drop."

"You want to attract more people to pass by, and you want to sell things that cost 11 yuan to 12 yuan or [-] yuan. Then you can only use the price to attract passers-by."

Everyone, "..."

Qi Lei took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "We often say that China is a meat grinder for various industries. Once Chinese enter a certain industry, the price will be lowered."

"Everyone is very proud. You see, the things we produce are cheap and affordable, and we don't leave a way for others to survive!"

"Actually, that's a kind of helplessness! Because it means that you can't enjoy the high added value of technological progress, and you can only use the price to offset the first-mover advantage of others."

In fact, what Qi Lei said is just like people in later generations often say [advantage of latecomer]. The advantage of latecomer is good, it can avoid technical detours and waste!

Later development does have advantages in terms of technology investment and time cost, but that also means that the initial super bonus period has been missed.

We often hear the story of the shield machine and how the large-scale machinery in China is, in fact, this is a kind of helpless elation.

When someone sells 2 million, how much profit?We sell 2000 million, how much profit?

Don't we want to sell 2 million?think!But no chance.

Late development means that you can only grab the market.To grab the market, you have to lower the price, and you have to give up a profit of 100 yuan to earn one yuan.

"This is the first line of defense in the West, the patent barrier."

"Even if the first line of defense is breached at a certain point, there is a second line—technical blockade."

Everyone frowned. In the past, they felt that these things had little to do with them, but now they felt that they had a lot to do with them.

Uncle Geng said solemnly: "And then? What's the matter with the technical blockade?"

Qi Lei, "It's very simple! Patent protection is at the legal level, and it is the lowest cost."

"Once you can't seal it, then play a rogue!"

"Blocking a key technology in your upstream and downstream industries prevents you from turning technology into wealth."

Everyone, "..."

To put it more bluntly, whether it is the United States or Europe, why transfer all the low-end manufacturing and keep only the high-end manufacturing?Because the added value is too low, it is not cost-effective to make it yourself.

How good is it to move out?It can not only plunder the world with high-end manufacturing, but also enjoy the daily products created by underdeveloped countries with cheap labor.

That is, the value created by one person can be exchanged for the value created by ten people in your underdeveloped area.

Then it is a good name, this is high technology, it is created by our advanced industrial and academic level, so it should be worth so much.

However, when someone challenges their high value-added industries, such as HW, ZX, DJ, those high-tech enterprises and institutions in China.

When they need to exchange the value of ten people for the value of one person, they start playing rogue again.

In this world, there has never been a fairness in which a little effort can be exchanged for a little gain. Some are just economic distribution games that ordinary people can't see or understand.

In a sense, this is also a kind of exploitation, invisible exploitation.

At this time, Qi Lei put down his teacup, went to the office cabinet and took out a box, which contained an electronic device.

Take the instrument out of the box and show it in front of everyone, "It's just such a big square box, it's a measuring instrument, purchased for Byron's laboratory."

"Guess how much it is?"

Uncle Geng also put down the teacup, took it over and took a look, "Isn't this the sample that Warren sent over a few days ago? I know, 40 dollars a piece."

Speaking of this, Uncle Geng felt pain, "I heard that Byron wanted 800 sets? That's [-] million US dollars!"

"What?" Zong Baobao heard, 40?

Grab it and take a good look, "38E? Is it inlaid with gold? Why is it so expensive?"

Qi Lei smiled and said: "Don't think it's too expensive, 40 is not a bargain!"

Zong Baobao: "..."

I only heard that Qi Lei continued: "Then do you know how expensive this thing is?"

"I don't know, high technology?"

Qi Lei, "Fart, it's expensive because it's protected by a patent!"

"..."

Qi Lei, "Actually, this thing is not high-tech at all. When you take it apart, there is nothing inside, just a small chip, a circuit board, a few sensors, and a bunch of wires."

"Get it in China, find any electronic original device factory, and it will be copied in less than half a month."

"Do you know what the cost is?"

Zong Baobao stared, "How much?"

Qi Lei, "500RMB!"

Zong Baobao, "Pfft! Are you kidding me?"

"How dare they sell 500 yuan for a piece of crap worth 40 yuan? What kind of dollar is it!?"

Qi Lei, "Why not? Because someone bought it, and also because no one could sell it."

"Let's talk about it." With a grin, "It's not as evil as you said! The Germans are not as dark as you think, and the German manufacturer earned me 35 US dollars in tears. His manufacturing cost is about [-] US dollars. "

"Five..." Zong Baobao didn't understand even more. How did they manage to make the cost of 500 yuan worth [-] yuan?

The three views are a bit broken, "How did the cost of [-] come from!!"

Qi Lei, "It is the German government's regulation that all accessories on this machine must be purchased locally in Germany. That is to say, the chips, original components, and even the screws inside are all high-priced items made in Germany."

"So, the cost of 500 RMB has become [-] US dollars!"

Zong Baobao, "Why?"

Qi Lei, "Because only in this way can we guarantee that in Germany, an ordinary German blue-collar screwing screw can have a salary similar to that of a professor!"

"Crack!" Zong Baobao cursed, "Let me put it this way, the German workers are really awesome!"

Qi Lei, "Wrong! It's not because he's awesome, but because workers and professors have the same voting rights."

He waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying that blue-collar workers shouldn't take so much, I don't mean that."

"It's just, do you think our country has the ability to provide such high welfare like the West, or more extreme, like the Nordic countries?"

"Is it possible that people who don't work earn more than those who work?"

"Impossible! You don't have a history of colonization and plunder, and you don't have a first-mover advantage. You can only start from 0 in a down-to-earth manner, and sell things that cost ten yuan to 11 yuan, 12 yuan!"

"Besides, you don't have any retreat yet. You say, I'm quitting, I won't open the way, I will follow the road you have opened honestly, let you sell it for 100 yuan honestly, let you charge this toll, the head office will do it ?”

"Hehe, no! Because their purpose is not just to turn your money into tolls and make you give up the choice of opening the road."

"Their purpose is to make you lose the ability and courage to open the road forever, and you can only choose to pay the toll!"

……

In fact, what Qi Lei can't say is that this is the reason why companies and entities such as HW, ZX, and DJ are on the sanctions list of the Americans in later generations.

The roads of traditional industries have almost been developed by them. Only in these emerging industries and industries with rapid technological iteration, can we build roads ahead of them.

Only then can it be possible to sell ten yuan to 100 yuan to support the life that the people yearn for.

This is the only shortcut to high added value.

Far away.

Qi Lei continued at the moment: "In a sense, this is also the mission of companies like Sanshi and HW."

"Because the field we are in happens to be the only way to build roads first and earn high added value."

"Traditional industries are very difficult, and there is almost no hope."

Everyone nodded. These things are questions that they would not normally think about. Don't talk about it, it sounds very fresh.

At this time, Sister Kou felt a little bit aggrieved, what the hell, it didn't fit my old lady's temperament!

"No, why don't we get involved with them?"

"I can't play it, but I can't play it? My mother just closed the door, what's wrong with playing by myself?"

"Just as cool!"

Qi Lei, "..."

Well, the words are not rough.

but……

"Too simple."

"Get out!" Elder Sister Kou was speechless, is my old lady innocent?There is nothing impure in this world.
