Chapter 734: Developing the Chinese's Own Input Method
Before Watson could ask the reason, Niu Dongxiang couldn't help but ask, "Yuejin, why did you turn down such a good opportunity?"
Liu Yuejin looked at Niu Dongxiang with a frank gaze: "The first reason is that I can't bear you." ”
As soon as these words came out, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but shudder: "I said Brother Yuejin, do you need to be so numb? We are all here, how can you treat us as air?"
Niu Dongxiang's face turned red, revealing happiness and joy: "You are indeed too numb, so many people, why do you say such things, besides, do you have a little bit of dedication? Give up such a good opportunity for the sake of children's affection, it will be too late to regret it in the future." ”
Liu Yuejin smiled slightly: "What's the solution, I just can't bear you, as for career, I don't go to MIT, I may not be able to start my own career, in fact, I already have a rough plan, which is actually the second reason why I refuse to teach." ”
Niu Dongxiang looked at Liu Yuejin with a curious expression: "What is your plan, and what does it have to do with rejecting the professor's invitation?"
Liu Yuejin looked straight: "I want to develop our own Chinese input method, this work can be better completed in China, if I go abroad, the difference in language environment may affect my development of related programs." ”
At present, the Chinese do not have any input method of their own, and in terms of computer information entry, all foreign versions of the input method are used. Liu Yuejin wants to start his own career through this, which is also a manifestation of a sense of national responsibility.
Niu Dongxiang immediately understood what Liu Yuejin meant, and she looked at Liu Yuejin with extremely appreciative eyes: "Yuejin, I understand and respect your choice." ”
Liu Yuejin smiled: "Thank you for your understanding and respect." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but interject: "Brother Yuejin, I also appreciate your approach, but there are some things I have to remind you." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Niu Xiaoqiang, not knowing what he wanted to remind.
Niu Xiaoqiang didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and immediately continued: "Your ideals are undoubtedly very good, from the perspective of national responsibility alone, no one can find fault with it, but if you don't agree with your approach from the perspective of entrepreneurship, according to my estimate, it is impossible for you to make money on this project." ”
Niu Dongxiang knows what kind of person his little brother is, and what he said is by no means empty talk, but has a sufficient factual basis. I saw her ask curiously: "Little brother, why do you think that Yuejin can't make money?"
Niu Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly: " It's very simple, because our country currently has no sense of property rights protection, whether it is the real industry or the cultural industry, what is pursued is the doctrine of taking, as long as there is a new technology or new works emerge, it will immediately be stolen by others and become their cash cow, take the song as an example, almost all the tapes sold on the market are pirated, and the pirates make even more money than the original, as for the related technology of the physical industry, I won't say it, the more in-depth the understanding, the more shocking it is!"
Niu Xiaoqiang's words are very pertinent and in line with the actual situation, which is indeed the situation in China at present. Liu Yuejin wants to rely on the input method to make money, which is obviously unrealistic.
Niu Dongxiang was stunned for a while, and then said: "I heard that there is a patent protection law abroad, or I will go abroad to apply for a patent when the time comes, little brother, do you think this is feasible?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister, what Brother Yuejin wants to develop is an input method that only we Chinese use, and foreigners can't use it at all, so there is no point in applying for a patent abroad, even if you apply, how can you collect patent royalties from China?"
Niu Dongxiang looked at Liu Yuejin with a gloomy expression: "Yuejin, Xiaoqiang is very reasonable, what do you think ......?"
Liu Yuejin is a person with a firm mind, he shook his head slightly: "Some things have to be done, even if I can't make money with the input method, I have to insist on finishing this thing, otherwise I will regret it in my life." ”
Niu Dongxiang thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Little brother, didn't you say before that you wanted to start a business with Yuejin, do you have any plans for yourself?"
Niu Dongxiang wants to learn from Niu Xiaoqiang's entrepreneurial plan to see if he can find a balance from it, which can not only enable Liu Yuejin to realize his ideals, but also allow him to earn money.
Niu Xiaoqiang did not hide it, and said honestly: "Sister, my idea is to be a second-tier dealer first, purchase computers from the United States and ship them back to China for sale, as long as we do a good job in the sales process, we will definitely be able to make money, and when we accumulate enough money, we can set up our own factory to produce computers and build our own brand." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang's plan is undoubtedly the most realistic and operational. That is, he doesn't have this condition for ordinary people.
The first is the problem of going abroad, which many people can't solve.
It is not easy to go abroad in these years, you need to open a letter of introduction from the unit to state the reason, you also need to issue a certificate of no criminal history from the police station in the jurisdiction, and you also need to issue a personal property certificate when applying for a visa.
This stumped a large number of people, and when you go through the cumbersome procedures, you are also facing another big problem: exchanging foreign currency.
The state's regulation of foreign exchange has reached an outrageous level, and it is eager to break a dollar into ten parts, and for personal foreign exchange applications, the approval rate will definitely discourage you.
At present, the country's foreign exchange reserves are only about $2 billion, which seems like a lot, but when you think that China is a big country with a population of more than one billion, such a small amount of money is no different from a drop in the bucket.
Nowadays, most of the people who can go abroad smoothly through many links are cadres or managers of state-owned enterprises. As for the private, it's better not to toss yourself.
Niu Xiaoqiang is different, these problems do not exist for him, and Professor Watson will help him solve all the obstacles. Moreover, he already has a plan to make dollars, and as long as the artificial intelligence project is successfully launched, he will not have any difficulty in getting start-up funds.
So what seems difficult to achieve in the eyes of others is extremely easy here in Niu Xiaoqiang. There is no way, who let Niu Xiaoqiang master the superior resources himself?
Niu Dongxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yuejin, you can develop the input method while engaging in sales, so that there is no delay at both ends, how good." ”
Liu Yuejin frowned and said, "Where does the start-up capital come from?"
Niu Dongxiang immediately turned his head to look at Niu Xiaoqiang again: "Little brother, where are you going to get the start-up capital?"
Niu Xiaoqiang secretly smiled bitterly: My good sister, you haven't married someone else, but you are just going to someone else, isn't this too much?
