Chapter 229

In the last days of January 1982, Yota, a small start-up communications company, was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Although from the perspective of business scope, the company is in the emerging field of mobile communication, but from the perspective of the company's staff composition, the company is more like a law firm. Almost all of the new recruits, without exception, graduated from the law department of Harvard University, and their interview supervisor is an authority on patent and intellectual property law in Harvard University.

Eva was able to invite such a powerful professor to sit in town because of her partners bill and Paul. In recent years, these two seniors who dropped out of school early have gradually become a little famous in the society. In addition, Bill's mother is an IBM executive, which is nothing to bill.

Inspired by Eva's high salary, many alumni who have just graduated or have already graduated have joined this small company. Although they do not have any work experience, Harvard's own educational philosophy is inclined to apply what they have learned, so only a few weeks later, the work here is gradually on the track.

During this period of time, Yota communication has been busy filing patent applications. Almost every week, through the relationship between teljina and Donia of Soviet airlines, shariosha will send a pile of technical data to EVA, and EVA will immediately turn the play into standard technical patent applications and submit them to the staff of the U.S. Patent Office. Sometimes it's three patents a day, sometimes it's more than ten patents a day.

Fortunately, the efficiency of the U.S. patent office is very good. It takes only about a week to audit the patent. Because of the size and economic status of the U.S. market, dongnia's company will basically win the monopoly of this technology in the U.S. market as long as it gets the patent here. As for the patents in Europe and other countries, it is not so urgent, Just give it to other patent agencies.

Judging from the current progress, the research progress of Voronezh Communication Science Research Institute can almost keep pace with the speed of EVA's patent application. That is to say, as long as Voronezh Communication Science Research Institute has completed all the work of Altay system, EVA can basically complete the patent application there. Although the work on this matter can be handed over to the employees, another thing has to be put on the agenda, that is, how to produce these products and put them on the market?

Altay has already had mature products in the Soviet Union, but Yota's products are still only on paper. How to produce user-oriented products has become a difficult problem, which requires a lot of preliminary work of plant, equipment, staff, and all these work costs at least one year. For Xie liaosha, who has occupied the market, the time spent on these work is totally unacceptable.

In terms of production, Xie liaosha has two choices. The first is to acquire a ready-made communication equipment manufacturing company, and the second is to find a reliable OEM enterprise. Xie liaosha thinks over and over again and decides to find a reliable OEM company to complete the work. From the cost point of view, it's a good choice to choose Japanese or Korean enterprises as manufacturers. However, Xie liaosha puts his eyes on Taiwan because he knows that there is an OEM giant that is about to grow up there. So Xie liaosha told EVA what she thought and asked EVA to find a consulting and intermediary company to deal with it.

But for things like sales, Xie liaosha has no good way. After all, the Soviet Union is now a seller's market. As long as Xie liaosha brings in the freight, he can't sell it. Xie liaosha thought of advertising, but everything has to wait until the product is produced. As the Yota communication company of Xie liaosha provides a complete set of solutions, including operator's equipment and terminal equipment, in addition to completing the production, Xie liaosha also needs to find interested operators to do it.

The following things are still too far away. Everything has to wait for the first batch of products to go offline. Suddenly, there are more things for EVA, the housekeeper, which makes her complain on the phone. In addition to comforting EVA, Xie liaosha also suggests that she find some suitable professional managers to share her work, but Xie liaosha also knows, Good managers are not easy to find.

Recently, in addition to keeping an eye on the progress of Voronezh Institute of communication science, Xie liaosha also took time to meet Gregory and gave him an IBM PC with MS-DOS as a new year gift. Since returning to China, Xie liaosha is often involved in official business, and there are few opportunities for them to meet. At the beginning of his investment in Microsoft, Gregory earned the money from the casinos. Xie liaosha made his own investment. He felt obliged to tell Gregory, even though Gregory didn't care!

"You say this thing can help me with my math research?" Grigori looked at the manual and put it, while seliosha sat quietly! Drinking beer on his own, MS-DOS is not the common graphic operating system that Xie liaosha is familiar with, but an operating system that only relies on keyboard input. Xie liaosha can't play with it at all. So let Gregory do the trick. He's very talented. Maybe he can do something good!

"Strictly speaking, when it was invented, it was used to help people calculate, but someone designed some software to make it do more things. In fact, there are computers in China, but they are all put in research institutes and universities, and the volume ratio is larger. The reason why this thing is called PC is that it is suitable for use at home." Xie liaosha tried to explain with his own understanding.

"Well, I see. That is to say, what it can be used for depends on our imagination, right?" Said Gregory, nodding.

Xie liaosha raised his head, drank the beer in his glass, and then followed Gregory: "in fact, I think it's more suitable to play games. For example, there is a jigsaw puzzle, which is to drop several graphics randomly from the top of the screen, and then put them together to occupy a full line to eliminate it, but I didn't find this game, Or you can put it on and play with it! "

When Xie liaosha got the computer, the first thing he did was to find a familiar game to install. He was the first to think of Tetris, but he didn't find it.
