Chapter 882: The Dream of Autonomy: Part II (Second Update)
"Yes, Mr. Lin, the boss has put a lot of effort into finding this car, maybe you don't know very well, in the former Soviet Union, the status of the Gil-41047 is equivalent to the status of your country's Red & Flag CA770," Ivan said while secretly observing Lin Hongfei's expression, but Lin Hongfei disappointed Ivan, he didn't see what he wanted from Lin Hongfei's continuous class.
Lin Hongfei's refusal to accept made Ivan feel extremely aggrieved, and Ivan, who was extremely aggrieved, had to temporarily give up the lines he had prepared before and replaced them with a particularly unambitious sentence, "Mr. Lukashenko said, I hope you can like this gift, if you need it, I can take you to see it now." ”
This is somewhat inauthentic, except for the joy of being suddenly given a limousine used by a top dignitary, you will immediately find yourself being calculated: you have prepared this car for a long time, but you have always refused to take it out, and now you want to take it out, also because I am leaving, you want to use this trick to trip me?
It's no wonder that people can't help but think from this point of view, it's really Alexander. Grigorievich. Lukashenko's young man did what he did...... To say that it is not authentic is to lift them up.
Don't think how awesome Jill -41047 is, if the Soviet Union has not collapsed, then the current Jill -41047 is of course a grade car with our big red & flag CA770, but since the Soviet Union has collapsed, the political status of Jill -41047 has dropped directly, Lin Hongfei is sure that all the owners who have Jill -41047 will find out, and tell them that they are willing to use a Mercedes-Benz W140S600 to exchange with the Jill -41047 they have. At least half of the people will choose to Mercedes...... In the eyes of the people of the former Soviet Union republics at this time, everything in the Western world is good, and the peaceful evolution of many years is not a joke.
Lin Hongfei has many options. For example, if you don't bird Ivan with a flick of your sleeves, you can also deliberately pinch it, but he didn't do it, he just asked Ivan plainly, "Is it okay at any time?" ”
"Uh......" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then he finally understood the meaning of Lin Hongfei's words: Can I take this Jill - 41047 that belongs to me at any time? Hurriedly nodded, "Of course, of course, this car belongs to you now, as long as you want." You can take it away at any time. ”
"Then take me there." Lin Hongfei didn't say a word, and directly urged Ivan to take him to pick up the car.
Although this car is backward in technology and high fuel consumption in Lin Hongfei's opinion, the three-speed automatic transmission is still used when high-end cars have begun to commonly use four-speed automatic transmissions, so that when the North Korean one is hung up, he would rather sleep in Lincoln than in Big Brother's car, and North Korea is also not interested in Big Brother's car. But that doesn't stop Lin Hongfei from thinking it's still a good car...... Fuel consumption and driving feel aside, from the perspective of comfort alone. It's a good car.
…………………………………………
The 3.5-ton Gil-41047 is also bulletproof. According to the internationally accepted bulletproof car standards, it should belong to the B6 class, Alexander. Grigorievich. The car that Lukashenko gave to Lin Hongfei is no exception, and the heavy bulletproof glass is even specially pasted with a layer of dark window film, which protects the safety of the passengers to the greatest extent and protects the privacy of the passengers to the greatest extent.
Lin Hongfei was very satisfied. Although it is a problem for Jill-41047, which is more than 6 meters long, to get back to China, it is good to use it for collection.
"Lin, Mr. Lukashenko has a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?" Seeing Lin Hongfei's face, he showed a satisfied expression. Ivan finally opened his mouth cautiously...... This guy was a little confused by Lin Hongfei's unpredictable attitude just now.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Lukashenko would like you to think that you can design a high-end luxury civilian model on the basis of the Gil-41047 and introduce it to the market as one of the products of our company's cooperation in the future?"
"Like the W140 from Mercedes-Benz and the Cadillac from General Motors?" Lin Hongfei asked.
In this era, the German Mercedes-Benz W140 and the Cadillac Wood were considered the top models among executive cars. Grigorievich. Lukashenko really thinks so, Lin Hongfei can only say: Hehe, this idea is good......
"That's right, like Mercedes' BENZW140 and General Motors' Cadillac Wood," Ivan's answer proves it, "Mr. Lukashenko said that if you can do that, he will do his best to get the Belarusian government to buy more cars when it comes to luxury cars." ”
With Lukashenko's current status in Belarusian politics and his future achievements, it is not impossible for him to promote this matter, and with the popularity of the Gil-41047 car in the world and its special political status, if it really withdraws from an ordinary civilian version of the model, someone will definitely pay for it, for this, Lin Hongfei does not doubt it.
Lin Hongfei also quickly analyzed the feasibility of such an operation and the possible benefits in his heart, if he upgraded to create a new flagship model based on Jill - 41047, it would be good, at least he could use it to create his own flagship products of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
As for whether to make money or not, that's another question, Bugatti has always lost money, but Volkswagen is not willing to lose money to support it, the key is to raise such a money-losing goods can enhance the image value of their car brand and make more money from other places, but before that, there is a very serious problem......
"The ownership of the name and all other patents of the Gil-41047 sedan belongs to the Moscow Khalichev Automobile Plant, right? We develop a new model on the basis of this car, and we must still use the brand 'Gill', the patent problem is very troublesome, and a car brand with a bad reputation is destined to fail to become a top sedan brand. ”
"What qualifies those bastards of the Kharichev Automobile Plant to hold the patent for this car?"
To Lin Hongfei's surprise, for Lin Hongfei's words, Ivan pouted directly, with a look of disdain for the Russian big brother, "Mr. Lin, you may not know the truth, in the former Soviet Union, our country did not have a patent, and now Russia does not know whether the patent law has been implemented, even if the patent law is implemented, the ghost knows whether those bastards in Moscow have applied for a patent for this car...... Mr. Lin, I dare to take out my $2,000 to bet you that those bastards in Moscow absolutely did not patent this car. ”
Nima! Is that okay? Lin Hongfei was a little dumbfounded, but there was still a problem, "Our car can't be called 'Gil' after it is produced, unless the Khalichev Automobile Factory can sell us the name 'Gil'." ”
"Can't you buy it?" Ivan was a little disapproving, and felt that Lin Hongfei was completely troublesome: Even if you don't buy it, you still call the car "Gil", what can the people of the Khalichev Automobile Factory do to us?
Although Ivan didn't say it, Lin Hongfei was not a fool, as long as he saw what he meant, he shook his head: These former Soviet republics, their thinking has not yet changed from the era of the Soviet Union.
He said solemnly, "Patents are a big problem, since Russia wants to take the capitalist road, it must follow the basic rules of the capitalist world, I don't know whether Russia has implemented a patent law now, but believe me, even if they do not implement a patent law, the issue of patent law will soon be put on the agenda of the Russian government, if we do not buy the name of 'Gil' from the Khalichev Automobile Plant, we will face endless troubles at that time, I will not do this work." ”
"Is it really that serious?" Listening to Lin Hongfei's seriousness, Ivan finally couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"You'd better trust me."
"Russia introduced the Law on Patents of the Russian Federation on October 14, 1992, but I do not know whether the Khalichev Automobile Plant has patented its own car brand and technology."
Ivan really deserves to be a secretary, and he is so familiar with the situation in Russia.
"Then it's troublesome," Lin Hongfei's expression was very solemn, "Either you buy the name and skills of this car from the hands of the Khalichev Automobile Factory, and we will operate the project; Or please help me to say to Mr. Lukashenko, just say that I like this car very much, and thank him for allowing me to experience the essence of the automobile industry in the former Soviet Union. ”
Of course, in addition to buying the trademark and all the technical patents of the "Gil" car from the hands of the Khalichev Automobile Plant in an honest and completely legal manner, there is another good way, that is, if the people of the Khalicchev Automobile Plant are really busy selling the factory and forget to register the patents and trademarks, then they can preemptively register them and use their registered "Gil" trademark and related patents to force the Khalichev Automobile Plant to sell the brand and patents to themselves...... Maybe you can do this now, without coercion, and just use the dollar to open the way.

"Are you sure he said that?" Lukashenko's expression was very solemn, and he was embarrassed to find that when he was considering building a world-famous car brand in Belarus based on the Gil-41047, he had ignored two basic issues: trademarks and patents.
It's embarrassing.
"Yes boss, that's exactly what Mr. Lin said." Ivan didn't dare to slack off, and told Lin Hongfei what he had said to himself, imitating Lin Hongfei's expression and tone at that time as much as possible, and the serious expression of his boss, so that Ivan realized that the seriousness of this problem seemed to be more serious than he imagined.
