Son, how did you become the richest man in elementary school?

The two sides are still arguing on this issue.

But to be expected.

It's only a matter of time before this is finalized, if not for long.

this means.

The expansion of the three-body game is inevitable. Even if it is domestic first and international later, it still requires a lot of financial support.

These are all about money.

"How can I earn some extra money?" Gu Xiu was worried.

It's okay to make a little money.

The advantages of being reborn exist, making money in this era where every inch of land is expensive and opportunities are everywhere.

Not too difficult.

But the problem is, what he wants is to earn a considerable income in the short term, at least enough funds to support the development of the three-body game within half a year.

This is a bit difficult.

He has a lot of real estate.

But the problem is that the price of real estate is not too high now, and the efficiency of making money is limited. To be honest, Jiangcheng real estate has a huge room for appreciation. Now that it is sold in advance, it is definitely a lost watermelon and a sesame seed.

blood loss.

Gu Xiu has also considered private server games, but during this time, with more and more private servers, various games have also begun to increase.

Private server income.

It has been cut in half and cut in half.

The profit of this thing has actually passed the previous super-explosive stage.

The same is true for the three-body game page game.

Compared with private servers, the revenue of overseas page games has dropped even more exaggeratedly. A large number of homogeneous plagiarized works have appeared, which directly affects the overall revenue of Three-Body Games.

The Three-Body Problem game also approached the local authorities to appeal.

But obviously.

It's hard to get this thing cross-border.

Whenever he thinks of this, Gu Xiu wants to slap those well-known faces who boast that foreigners are good people.

They are all pirates!

nice guy?

Even Edison's rescue of his mother is a fiction, but he's a fart!

but……

This incident gave Gu Xiu a lot of inspiration.

Without hesitation, Gu Xiu directly searched the Internet for relevant news.

And the core of the message is only one.

patent!

He began to look at various invention patents, and by the way, searched for NPE-related things.

The result is really true, and I found a lot of news related to NPE.

However, compared with the NPE that has been fully industrialized in later generations, although there are many companies involved in the NPE field in this era.

But most of them are basically small workshop types.

There is no standardization and integration.

This made Gu Xiu inevitably have other thoughts in his heart.

Be a pirate.

The mind of being a legal pirate.

Chapter 295 How to Make Money

NPE, the full name is Non-Practicing Entities, the Chinese name is called non-patent operating entities.

You can tell from the name.

This kind of company, institution or individual mainly deals with only one thing.

patent.

However, it is completely different from ordinary scientific research companies that invest a lot of energy in producing invention patents.

This kind of company itself is not responsible for the production of registered patents.

It's just a patent pit.

They have a big name.

Patent trolls.

Or, patent pirates.

They rely exclusively on sending lawyers' letters to blackmail world-renowned large companies.

At least Gu Xiu knew.

The technology companies that can be named have basically been poisoned by NPE.

Later generations of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Huawei, Samsung...

Basically none.

They have all paid at least tens of millions of dollars to NPE-type institutions.

for peace.

Of course, this does not mean that NPE is illegal and criminal. In fact, NPE itself is a reasonable and legal existence, not even a gray area.

The result of this is that, often legally, they are basically on their side.

and so.

They are patent pirates, but legitimate patent pirates.

When Gu Xiu was plagiarized and imitated by an overseas game company, but there was nothing he could do about it.

unintentionally.

I thought of NPE, which is more advanced, more high-end, and even more legal.

He also began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

With his understanding of the status quo of NPE institutions, Gu Xiu was surprised to find that NPE is an industry that has basically been occupied by future generations.

In today's era, there is unprecedented room for development.

Although there are still people doing this kind of business.

But obviously.

The money-raising methods of most NPE organizations are still very primitive, and there are not even many skills in them.

In Gu Xiu's view, these people are simply wasting their patents.

Actually speaking.

The NPE model is actually very simple, and it can even be said that there is almost no too much technical difficulty, and even the logic in it can be said to be simple and outrageous.

To explain it simply, it is to acquire patents and wait for others to infringe them.

Then, send a lawyer's letter to the infringing company.

In layman's terms, it is actually a big company of Pengci.

Because often they will offer a sky-high price claim, and in the end the two parties bargain with each other, and finally get a considerable profit.

of course.

This is actually the most basic.

The actual operation is naturally not so simple. The first is the acquisition of patents. If you want to buy a lot of patents at a low price, you need a certain ability and opportunity.

Secondly, it is the choice of the object.

The object of choice must be the kind of extremely rich company, only in this way can the maximum benefit be realized.

But there is also a problem here.

Appeals take time, and cross-border appeals often take three to five years, especially for large companies with strong strength.

The legal department can drag you until you die.

Therefore, in addition to the selection of targets, the selection of timing is also very critical.

Often when NPE organizations start to make a move, they will choose the critical period of certain large enterprises, such as new product releases, company listings, or any critical moment to start making moves.

Because at these times, it can largely affect the normal business of the target company.

Especially some technology companies that have released new products.

It can even limit its new product time.

Delayed listing.

This is also the reason why, whether it was a big company like Apple or Microsoft in the previous life, it often had to hold its nose and pay sky-high compensation.

The more he thought about it, the more Gu Xiu felt.

This thing can be done!

Because what can be earned is not short-term benefits, but long-term benefits. Even after ten or twenty years, it can still continue to make profits.

even.

The further you go, the more money you can make.

but……

"It is very difficult to achieve profitability in the short term. It requires a good project and a good time."

"and also."

"Acquiring patents also takes time and money. I want to do this to obtain ammunition and support the three-body game. It is more realistic to expect the three-body game to make money."

Gu Xiu was helpless.

Going around and around, and finally the problem came back again.

Lack of money!

In fact, most of the patents acquired by NPE are acquired from technology companies that have improved their operating conditions or are about to go bankrupt.

The cost of these patents is basically an ultra-low price.

As long as the opportunity is right, the capital required is actually not high, and it can even be said to be very cheap.

But no matter how cheap it is, it also costs money.

Moreover, to engage in NPE, it takes years of patent acquisitions and waiting for the fatal blow, which means that this thing requires long-term patent acquisitions in order to obtain high returns.

Want to make a quick buck in the short term.

almost impossible.

but……

It seems that Gu Xiu can't get involved in the short term, but NPE is still included in Gu Xiu's to-do list.

Buy patents.

Even buy a large number of patents.

Not to mention how much rewards he can bring to Gu Xiu in the future, at least those patents are in his hands, what he can do in the future.

That's more!
