Chapter 382 I Want to Publish a Book
Gao Zhendong brought up this matter not to influence the higher-ups to join the intellectual property protection organization in advance.
We joined the Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property at the end of 1984, and it did not come into effect until the end of March 1985.
There must be a reason for joining so late. Gao Zhendong does not think that joining so late is unreasonable. He does not need to try to influence such a general direction. There is neither the need nor the ability to do so. It may even do harm.
He brought up this matter so that the comrades in charge of these matters would have an impression and some experience, so that when they really join, when it comes to certain intellectual property operations or related policy formulation, they should try not to be deceived. Many people suffered such losses when they first joined.
It would be best if we could make some arrangements in advance before joining. However, by then, I will probably be able to make more suggestions in this regard. Anyway, it never hurts to let everyone know about this aspect in advance.
"Well, that's fine. We can't sell all our stuff at once. We should be careful first and then be gentle. As the saying goes, it's better to make things better before making trouble."
The leaders of the foreign business sector have a positive attitude towards this.
"Will the other party think we are insincere?"
"Not really. Business negotiations are always a process of asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot. If the rules are not clearer, they will think we are easy to bully."
"That's right. We can give up some things through negotiation, but we can't let others think we are fools."
"The Ministry of Foreign Trade is good at this."
"Don't just say we are good at it. We also need more support from foreign affairs departments on foreign laws and regulations and related conventions."
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention joining the convention, and Gao Zhendong didn't mention it either. These big guys always have overall considerations.
In any case, the operation methods of these two mini-programs have been determined.
Decades later, the group of people who worked on electronic games wanted to kowtow to Mr. Gao Zhendong every day. Even when the public opinion environment was the worst, they were always able to find a place to stand.
What? We have been exporting this to earn foreign exchange since the 1960s, and you insist on calling it electronic waste? Puzzle game! Puzzle game! If you have the guts, go and argue with the predecessors who were doing this at the time.
Others cannot say that there is something wrong with their statement, mainly because there is a huge Buddha standing in front of them and they really can't say anything.
However, the game of Snake also allowed some Shiba Inus to find a way to attack Gao Zhendong in the future.
Many people will never forget that a reporter asked Gao Zhendong with his eyes bulging in a rather aggressive manner, using words that seemed to be rational, objective and neutral: "Mr. Gao, you have added criticism of the original sin of profit-seeking to a small game for children. Have you ever considered doing so? Ideology is too rampant?"
What nonsense! The first people who played this game enthusiastically had nothing to do with children, but the adults in the computing office.
Gao Zhendong's answer to this was very direct, and it became one of the famous scenes on the Internet later: "You have learned journalism well, but you think too much. It has nothing to do with ideology. I just want to tell them a simple scientific principle - the principle of increasing entropy - in a lively and interesting way that children like. I respect your right to interpret the ninth art, so it's okay for you to say that, which is an unexpected gain. But at the same time, you must also respect my final right of interpretation as the original author. It is a popular science puzzle game, but science has many sides, that's all."
After the meeting, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade specifically called Gao Zhendong and said, "Comrade Zhendong, thank you again for your support for our work, hahahaha."
Exchanging sand for food was exciting enough, but I didn't expect that a computer program that was invisible and weighed less than two taels could also be exchanged for food. The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade were very satisfied with this.
Gao Zhendong smiled and shook his head: "No, no, it's all what I should do."
Knowing that Gao Zhendong's words were not modesty but came from his heart, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment casually painted a pie for him: "Thank you for your hard work. By the end of this year, we will give you a big award certificate."
After talking to the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Gao Zhendong remembered something. He rushed over and asked the propaganda comrade to stop.
"Comrade, this is the case. I wrote a popular science book on physics and want to publish it. What should I do?"
Gao Zhendong has published many books, but they were all handled by someone else. This is the first time he has done it himself.
The comrades in the propaganda department were very interested in this, and Gao Zhendong was willing to do his best to help: "This is easy, you can find the Masses Publishing House or the Science Publishing House. How about this, I will ask our comrades to contact you tomorrow, and you just need to hand over the manuscript to him, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
For them, a popular science book can be considered a good answer in this era. No matter who writes it, as long as it is discovered and organized by them, they will have a share in it.
Moreover, Chief Engineer Gao is a chief engineer at a young age. Putting today's incident aside, judging from the attitude of foreign businessmen and foreign affairs department comrades towards him, he is probably a man of great achievements. The popular science book he wrote should be correct. At most, we can make some necessary corrections after taking it over, but this matter is definitely good for everyone.
Gao Zhendong was very happy about this, as he didn't have to do any more work on his own: "That's great. I'm planning to publish this book as a set. I'll publish one book after another in my spare time. I wonder if I can trouble you again in the future?"
He was happy, and the comrades in the propaganda department were even happier. They had never expected that this would be a long-term project. Now he finally understood why the foreign affairs and foreign businessmen were so fond of this young comrade. This young comrade was a walking book of merit. He quickly made the final decision: "No problem. Comrade Zhendong, let's make a gentleman's agreement on this matter. Leave this set of books to us!"
As a cadre one level higher than Gao Zhendong, he could finalize the matter without having to go back to report. He was even afraid that if he was slow, comrades from the education system and even the science and technology sector would smell the scent and come over, and then he would be getting up early and arriving late.
These two companies have more legitimate roots than them in science popularization work.
Even though there are no signatures, seals, notifications, or resolutions involved, a gentleman's agreement is sometimes more effective than black and white.
Both of them were full of enthusiasm and decided to make a profit.
When Gao Zhendong returned home, the couple had just finished their meal and hadn't even washed the dishes when they heard a commotion in the Central Courtyard.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the middle courtyard.
When we arrived at the central courtyard, we found the Jia family. It turned out that Qin Huairu was about to give birth.
Gao Zhendong calculated the time and it was exactly the same. Jia Dongxu died in December. Qin Huairu had been pregnant for some time at that time. Now it was almost August, so it was exactly the same time.
Although it is busy, it is not chaotic. After all, Qin Huairu has given birth to two children and has plenty of experience.
Yi Zhonghai, Auntie, Sha Zhu were all there, and even the deaf old lady came to see what was going on.
There were not many other men who came, as most of them were at work, but there were quite a few women from various families who came.
Yi Zhonghai was asking Jia Zhang: "Grandma Banggeng, have you contacted the truck?"
Although Qin Huairu is their goddaughter, there are too many people, so it is not convenient for him to call her in-laws. The big cart mentioned here is not a car or the like, but a cart with two wheels, a wooden board, and two handles.
Don't underestimate this thing. These days, it's no more common than a bicycle.
The key lies in the two wheels. The rubber tires and steel spokes are all industrial products. The key is the bearing, which is even more difficult to make. Therefore, there are not many large trucks with it. In addition, it is of little use to ordinary people, so it is even rarer than bicycles.
Jia Zhang shook her head and said, "No, most of the neighbors here are from factories and schools, and they can't find it either. I was looking for it, but I didn't expect there would be any movement today."
It is normal for problems to occur many days before the due date, but most people don't expect it.
Yi Zhonghai looked around and waved his hand: "Take down the door panels!"
This is also a daily operation. If you need to transport a patient but there is no large vehicle, you can just remove a door panel and carry the patient.
There are also requirements for this door panel, it has to be a whole piece. After a few people took a look, they found a door for the hall and took it down. The doors in each house had windows and patterns, which were not sturdy, but the door for the hall was no problem.
Gao Zhendong himself had no experience in this, so he just followed what everyone else said. Lou Xiao'e and a few other aunts and young wives went to look after Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu, Gao Zhendong and Yi Zhonghai worked together to quickly remove a piece of the door panel. Fortunately, the courtyard house was not very large, otherwise the door panel might not be so small. If it was too big, the kind with copper nails would be too heavy.
Several people brought the door panel over, and several aunts and young wives helped Qin Huairu up.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and told Jia Zhang: "Grandma Banggeng, you just stay at home and take care of the two children. Huairu is here, we will send her over, and my family will take care of her in the hospital. You just need to take good care of the children. If it takes too long, you can ask her to come back and take care of the children. You two can take turns."
"Okay, okay, his grandfather, you go, you go."
As long as there is a good joke, it is still acceptable to call him grandpa.
Jia Zhang nodded repeatedly. She said, you know what, the godfather and godmother her daughter-in-law has chosen are really excellent. Not only is the family no longer so tight in financial situation, but there are also people to help with any big or small matters.
Gao Zhendong, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and a neighbor, the four of them carried Qin Huairu out. Xie Jianye was on duty at the security department, otherwise he would definitely rush over.
When they passed the Chuihua Gate, two brothers from the back house came out. One of them stepped forward and replaced Yi Zhonghai: "Old comrade, let me do it."
