"Xiao Gu! Good news!" In the office downstairs, Director Bao smiled when he saw Gu Ao.

"I didn't expect that Lin Guodong was quite capable. He had only entrusted him for more than two months. The procedure for accepting the review has been completed. The invention of the membrane-based helium machine has reached a confidentiality period and has also attracted the attention of some foreign guests. If we need it, it can be made public in advance at any time."

"It's good news, what about sales? I heard that there were equipment sold at the Canton Fair?" Gu Ao took the conversation with relief, and his inner joy was no less than that of others.

He knew that the so-called confidentiality period after the initial review refers to an invention application number, whose title can be retrieved by others (mainly peers), but the specific technical details are not disclosed, so I don’t know what you will do. The maximum confidentiality repentance period is 18 months.

Therefore, colleagues will know a message: the Chinese have mastered the technology of making helium equipment and applied for inventions. But they don’t know how they built it and what technical principles they are based on.

For those who want to buy equipment, you can already seek to place an order and cooperate.

In contrast, first-level patent applications such as "utilitarian models" do not have the preferential treatment such as confidentiality period. Once the application passes the preliminary review, the technical details will be disclosed directly and cannot be regretted.

This is an important advantage of "invention" over "utilitarian models", and it is also the reason why only "invention" can play patented submarines.

"The British bought a set, which was bought by the UK's largest airship company, Adeland. This is a newly developed airship company in the UK after the oil crisis in 1973, dealing with a new fuel-efficient safety aircraft plan.

In the 1940s, the Germans' hydrogen airships were too dangerous, so they thought of helium airships. They wanted to ask about Fa Liquid to buy helium making machines, but unexpectedly found that the unit energy consumption we promised was much lower than that of the goods we had sent, so they switched to ours."

Director Bao first said the first set of orders and the most representative orders at the Canton Fair.

From the 1940s to the 1970s, airship technology has not developed for the entire 30 years, and it has even been abandoned in the West. The main reason is that airships develop too fast, and airships are garbage no matter how you look at them.

Before the Fourth Middle East War in 1973, the oil price was too cheap, so the energy consumption problem of aircraft was ignored. Starting from 1975, the Western world, which had been tortured by oil shortage for two years, finally began to consider various fuel-saving equipment, so the idea of ​​helium airships had just been picked up.

However, in history, helium was relatively expensive in the 1970s, and the membrane method did not appear, so the cost was very high. Basically, they were only experimental boats. As a backup tire that "if the Middle East encounters an oil crisis, they have to be used." It was not until the 1980s that the membrane method gradually became popular that helium airships began mass production.

It can be seen that it was originally the helium-eating operator who was a helium-eating company that created market demand first, forcing the helium-making technology to develop towards low energy consumption. However, Gu Ao's appearance was a result of the reason, making the technology ahead of the market and ready for it, and directly fed it to the British Airship Company.

Even the leader like Fa Likong, who originally claimed to be cheap and affordable in the industry, was caught off guard.

After sharing this order, Director Bao immediately threw out another bigger benefit:

"In addition to the Adland Airship Company, the US Department of Energy also bought two sets - it is said that high-pressure pure helium is used as reactor cleaning agent. After a comprehensive investigation, it was found that the comprehensive energy consumption of our products is relatively low and urgently purchased.

It was also a coincidence that the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident occurred in Pennsylvania before the Canton Fair began. The U.S. Department of Energy urgently requested that all nuclear power plants in the United States be closed in batches. This involves harmless treatment after the shutdown, and a large amount of pure helium cleaning agents and isolation agents are needed in the process."

Three Mile Island!

When he heard this word, Gu Ao's first reaction was luck and he rushed to the scene.

Sanli Island is the third largest nuclear accident in human history, second only to the Chernobyl explosion in the Soviet Union in 1986 and the Fukushima in Japan in 11 years.

Moreover, it is only 1979, and nothing happened in the Soviet Union and Japan. So the American Three Mile Island is the largest nuclear accident in history.

Even Gu Ao did not pay attention to these historical details in his previous life, and he also saw the news in domestic newspapers last month.

However, Gu Ao did not understand nuclear technology, so he did not know that reactor cleaning agents required a large amount of pure helium.

The Sanli Island melting pile occurred at 4 a.m. Eastern Time on March 28. The Canton Fair opened around April 15, and it was only two weeks away. It was a gift from heaven. For the Ministry and Foreign Affairs Bureau, this is a political achievement that fell from the sky. It is really a good fortune that cannot be stopped.

The US Department of Energy has just completed the response plan after the investigation and formulated a circuit diagram to stop the nuclear circuit, and we saw a new helium mass production technology here.

However, Gu Ao still has a question: "But the situation between Americans and British people is completely different. British people do not have the technology to produce helium and can only import equipment. The US Prex company can make helium by itself, so why does it import equipment from abroad?"

Director Bao happily showed off: "Maybe President Carter just wanted to show goodwill to us, and seeing that we can produce, there is no limit. In addition, the two indicators of productivity and energy consumption of the equipment in your factory are indeed better than those of Plex with pure low-temperature separation.

Price's goods are only maintained for low cost of maintenance and use (good quality, long life, and less repair in the future), but this batch of orders from the Department of Energy pursues short-term implosion of production capacity. After all nuclear power plants in the United States are shut down for cleaning, the production capacity will overflow after harmless treatment. It doesn't matter if our goods have a shorter lifespan."

After hearing this, Gu Ao felt that he must have absorbed his European energy.

The chosen one! The Emperor of Ou can't stop him even when he gets up.

If Americans have more time to consider this kind of order, maybe Prex will have to intercept it. But the matter is too sudden and the focus indicators of order demand are unclear, which eventually flows abroad.

毕竟核电站出事故之后,很多应急采购都是尽快把东西买回来,这时候政治考虑是第一位的,至于将来是不是花了冤枉钱,国会绝对不会跟平时审预算那样斤斤计较.

Otherwise, a report from the Peanuts Post disclosed that a senator questioned a procurement of the Department of Energy's plan to deal with a nationwide nuclear power plant outage, which led to the delay of the plan. The angry and panic civilians living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and other areas next to other nuclear power plants have not demolished the senator's family.

After waking up from the joy of Emperor Europeans, Gu Ao thought further and immediately asked Director Bao several constructive questions:

"The orders on the US side were signed by the Department of Energy themselves, or were they signed by the Ministry of Energy established an emergency treatment company or even a gas company?

Have you obtained a comprehensive contract now? Are there any framework agreements for subsequent cooperation intentions? In other future projects, how much can we use this contract as a promotion of our qualifications?”

Director Bao was stunned and answered only the first two questions, but was a little confused about the subsequent questions: "There are officials from the Ministry of Energy who are inspecting the contract, but the contract was not signed with the Ministry of Energy. They set up a bunch of project companies specifically for the suspension and harmless handling, and they should have signed with one of the project companies.

Xiao Gu, you also know that capital pays attention to the country's methods of doing things, which is very different from us. I don't know what they are afraid of. They often do something and set up a company, but it's gone after it's done. I have dealt with them and know this kind of temperament. Besides, why do you care about this?"

Gu Ao had to sigh that Director Bao was really different, but Tucson was broken.

People's hearts are too simple and have no capital to pay attention to the world's awareness of "market confidence is the king".

It doesn't take long to go. As long as there are seven or eight years, those officials who attract investment or foreign trade bosses will know how important "historical performance" is.

Looking at the various bidding projects, commercial bids and even technical bids in later generations, which one does not regard "the company or product, what customer performance has it achieved" as a very important bid evaluation indicator.

That is, people in the context of planned economy dare to ignore these things.

Although Director Bao has been a foreign affairs official for many years, his business negotiations that he pays attention to capital are still too young.

Gu Ao said regretfully: "Director, I will give you a suggestion - this is all very important topic of asking for price in the future. Of course, I am not in my position and not doing anything. If you want, you can make this matter a political achievement. I have no interests with you, so I told you so bluntly.

If we are going to Iraq next month, we will meet officials there. If we can take out a copy of the contract and tell them that ‘the US Department of Energy has bought our goods and has a long-term strategic cooperation intention’.

Then I can guarantee that those under President Saddam will definitely increase their trust in our strength several times. Even in the next few years, no matter what country you go to, you can help this unit sell business, and you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Director Bao still wondered: "Next month when I go to Iraq, I will sell large oxygen-making equipment for missile launcher bases. This one is made of helium, so it is not an introduction at all, right?"

Gu Ao was a little embarrassed, but he could only be patient: "Director, foreigners pay attention to goodwill and brand. Unlike us, the national plan ordered you to believe in the quality of yours, then you believe in the quality of yours. Even if it is different products, as long as the goodwill of the same company is an important proof of strength and can be a stepping stone for many years."

He explained to Director Bao for more than ten minutes with his thoughts, and finally turned Director Bao's slightly old-fashioned mind.

He confirmed skeptically: "So, do you think that 'even would rather make $100,000 less foreign exchange for a single set of equipment sold to the U.S. Department of Energy, and get a long-term framework agreement? Even just ask for a 'Let the U.S. Department of Energy take the lead in stamping this seal'? Use the less profit from this order to exchange for the long-term flow of the future?"

Gu Ao's answer was very firm: "Yes! Of course, if the U.S. Department of Energy can come forward, we must also have a ministry and bureau to endorse it. We can't just rely on state-owned enterprises to fight alone to sign the contract."

(There are 3,000 words above. Here, for the first part of this chapter, I will explain a few sentences to readers who do not understand the patent law. Ignoring those who are too lazy to read will not affect your reading experience.

The reason why legally setting up a confidential repentance period for "invention" is mainly to encourage everyone to apply more technology that was originally protected by commercial secrets to become inventions. Therefore, we should give absolute technology leaders the opportunity to regret it.

For example, if a person knows that he is 30 years ahead of all mankind and the invention protection period is only 20 years, then he should not apply for a patent. Instead, he will use it secretly for 29 years first. It is estimated that the second among human beings will soon surpass him. Then he will apply for invention, so that he can totally occupy 49 years of benefits.

The "regret period" can encourage those who do not know how far away the second place in humans are from you. For the sake of security, they first apply for the trap, and then wait until the 18-month confidentiality period is coming soon. Seeing that the catching up colleagues are still not moving, then regret it and withdraw.

In addition, after the application is withdrawn, the application fee collected by the Patent Office will not be refunded. This part of the money accounts for a large part of the income of patent offices in various countries, so it will naturally further promote the development of the remorse period system.)
