Qian Hongli was very polite to Lu Yiming, it could even be said that he admired him.

After cooperating with Lu Yiming, his earning power has also increased. After establishing Jianlai Technology, he never expected that there would be so many wealthy people in Baiyun City. They would place an order worth millions at a time. This was comparable to when he opened his own computer store.

Making money is much faster.

Lu Yiming took a sip of tea and complimented casually: "Well, this tea is good and tasteful. It seems that you have been living a very comfortable life recently."

Qian Hongli smiled from ear to ear: "That's so comfortable! I've been doing business for most of my life, and I've never felt so comfortable."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "What about the design patent for the chassis? Have you applied for it yet?"

"Come down, here is the certificate."

Qian Hongli took out a red satin book from the drawer and opened it. It read clearly: Utility model invention patent, patent number xxxxxxxxx.

The following applicant and patent holder is Jianlai Technology Co., Ltd.

Li Quanwang said in surprise: "It's just a tin shell, how can you apply for an invention patent?"

In his concept, only making something that did not exist in the world before is considered an invention.

What computer doesn’t have a computer case? Can I apply for a patent just for this?

Lu Yiming explained: "Of course, the case I led the research and development is completely different from the previous computer cases. Do you understand the value of utility model invention patents?"

Today's computer mainframe is just a boxy iron box. After putting things in it, it is basically welded shut. If you want to replace any parts, you need to use powerful demolition tools.

Think of that white box under the monitor in the school computer room.

However, Lu Yiming took out the modular computer chassis of later generations. The sides were fixed with screws and buckles, which could be easily disassembled. There were also various buried channels and buckles inside the chassis, which could be easily fixed.

Components such as the motherboard, graphics card, fan power supply, etc., and the wiring are clean and clear, which can greatly reduce installation and maintenance costs.

It is precisely with the help of the new chassis that the factory can now install and debug hundreds of machines every day. Compared with the previous one-man workshop, the efficiency is nowhere high.

Qian Hongli also agreed with this: "This chassis is really easy to use, Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, I heard someone from Dingyuan Mold Factory say a few days ago that someone went to place an order and wanted to buy it.

What about this chassis? However, they didn’t come over to discuss patent royalties with us.”

Lu Yiming shrugged slightly, but he was very open-minded: "Do you think they won't produce it if you don't give them the authorization? This thing has no technical content at all. It can be made by any factory if you dismantle it. But it's okay.

, we can carry out personal customized services, triangular, pentagonal, spherical, transparent

Whether translucent or opaque, you can apply for appearance patents. As long as our R&D speed is fast enough and our imagination is big enough, they will never be able to keep up with us. On the one hand, we can develop and produce it ourselves to make money, and then wait for the other party to do it.

When we become bigger and stronger, we can also make money by filing lawsuits against these plagiarists, a win-win situation."

As a high-end consumable in the 21st century, Lu Yiming has seen countless patent lawsuits and has further studied the money-making methods of those patent trolls. At this time, it is not technically difficult and psychologically burdensome to become a patent troll.

No.

And relying on patents to make money, Lu Yiming doesn't really care about the three melons and two dates in China. How many ounces of oil can a group of poor people squeeze out even if they are squeezed dry?

If you really want to make money, you still have to count on exports and those foreigners with "fat meat".

Regarding Lu Yiming's request to focus on research and development, Qian Manulife, who has already tasted the benefits of the new chassis, naturally supports it with both hands. After all, the reason why Jianlai Technology is developing so rapidly now is because of the blue ocean market brought by new technologies, isn't it?

Later, Qian Hongli said: "Technological research and development is necessary, but I have a doubt, Mr. Lu, why not burn our 'Key Lai Internet Cafe Management Software' into a CD and sell it separately? Now we all install it in the factory.

On the computer, I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of money.”

At this time, most Internet cafes charge manually.

That's right, it's manual accounting.

Until about 2002, there were still many illegal Internet cafe owners who relied on manual bookkeeping to collect money. They would put a small note in front of each machine, and they would have to manually call to remind them when the time came.

Not high tech.

Even in some mom-and-pop shops, the husband works the night shift and the wife works the day shift. They stare at each other on both shifts and are too busy to have time to eat.

At this time, if there is a simple and easy-to-use Internet cafe software, they can sit in front of the checkout counter and just tap the keyboard to solve the problem. They don't even have to watch in the store. After setting the program, they will spend a monthly fee.

If you pay a few hundred yuan to hire someone to work, you only need to come and check the accounts regularly. I'm afraid many people are willing to pay for this.

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "Good guy, it seems that you have the potential to be a capitalist. You don't even want to let go of this little money. However, when doing business, you can't just focus on the small profits in front of you. You must know how to take a long-term view."

Catch big fish.”

Lu Yiming has been eyeing the Internet cafe software market for a long time.

Until 2007, there were still a small number of personal computer users in China, and computer users in Internet cafes were the mainstream group of Internet users.

Therefore, the Internet cafe software platform is very promising.

After all, for the Internet industry, user scale always ranks first.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one has discovered this blue ocean, Lu Yiming decided to use the free strategy to seize the market. Once the monopoly is completed, wouldn't it be easy to make money in the future?

For example, it can add computer hardware detection, driver installation and other functions, but it requires payment or membership.

For example, if you use someone else's Internet cafe computer interface to promote your favorite software, you will be left with a lot of channel fees and advertising fees. Isn't this great?

Another example is the addition of a small supermarket function. Users can place orders through the shopping page, and Jianlai Technology, as the software copyright owner, receives a 1% commission from him.

For an Internet cafe, customers can place orders while sitting in their seats. Customers' willingness to shop will be stronger, and the additional revenue generated will definitely be much more than the one percent toll. They pay this money

Have to be willing.

So what if there are a thousand Internet cafes or even 10,000 Internet cafes using this function?

Just getting the results is a huge amount of money.

All in all, as long as there is a market, it is easy to make money.
