Chapter 455 World Trade Talk

The car did not stop and trotted all the way into the big house. The driver of this car was the driver who used to drive, so Song Wanru boldly said those words in the car. When the car drove to the door, it was stopped by the guard. The guard first looked at the sign hanging on the window, and then the driver took the initiative to roll down the window. When the guard saw Tang Yu, he frowned, and the driver quickly explained.

"This is the person the highest chief asked to see. You can check it first." Listening to the driver's words, the guard nodded indifferently, went to the side, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words to someone, then nodded back to the car and smiled, "You can go in."

The driver thanked him and drove the car in directly. After entering, he stopped in a yard. Tang Yu and others got off the car, and the driver took the initiative to drive the car aside. And Song Wanru led Tang Yu into the yard together.

Entering the yard, I heard bursts of loud laughter from the room. An old voice with a slightly Sichuan accent laughed and scolded, "What a black face! You have been like this for so many years. Fortunately, Lao Zhao can always partner with you! If it were the second person, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago!"

"Hey! Political commissar! You are right! My old Zhao is also a graduate of Yanjing University! Following this He black face, he didn't give me a smiling face. From the anti-Japanese fight to the liberation of the bullet rain, the black face has always been the black face! Although you are a military commander! But you don't have to be black-faced every day, right?! The children are scared away!"

"Haha..." Tang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He heard that it must have been said by Mr. Zhao. Song Wanru heard this interestingly, and she couldn't help laughing out loud! The old people in the yard heard Song Wanru's laughter, and then Zhao Lao's voice came.

"It's like a girl! Come in when you come! It's not good to eavesdrop on our old man outside! Hurry up... The political commissar is still waiting to see our little Zhuge!"

Song Wanru giggled when he heard Mr. Zhao's words and pulled Tang Yu into the yard in a few steps. When she was a child, she came to this yard with Mr. He and others, which was quite familiar. When Tang Yu and Song Wanru entered the yard, they saw three old men in Zhongshan clothes sitting on the rattan chair, looking at themselves and Song Wanru with a relaxed expression. And the kind-looking old man among the three is like the top leader who can often be seen on TV!

"Are you Tang Yu?! Haha... I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" The chief said and wanted to stand up, but how dare Tang Yu let the old man stand up and greet himself?! He quickly walked over to help the old man, and his action made the old man appreciate it more. He waved to the guard to bring a chair and pointed to the chair and asked Tang Yu to sit down.

Tang Yu didn't dare to come out. He was extremely nervous and straightened his legs and sat on the chair. When the chief saw his appearance, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Today is not a formal occasion. Don't be so restrained. Young people should have the vitality of young people! Since you have called Lao He and their grandfather, please also call me grandpa!"

The words of the top leader seemed to inject strength into Tang Yu, which made Tang Yu relax. The supreme head saw Tang Yu relax and couldn't help nodding, and then said, "They have conveyed to me what you said to Lao He and Lao Zhao. For this reason, I have also consulted the professors of Peking University, the Political Research Office and the Intellectual Property Office. It seems that the problem you mentioned does exist. But after all, you are the proposer of this question, so we old guys want to hear your thoughts.

Tang Yu listened to the top leader's words and nodded. After thinking for a while, he organized the language and slowly said to the old man, "Grandpa Deng, in fact, I only found this problem recently. I have a company that produces VCD machines. Previously, someone wanted to sue me for the Anti-Monopoly Law due to patent issues. Later, I also authorized this patent, including Mr. Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Xiangjiang.

The chief and others nodded when they heard the words, and he also knew about it. Including the later oppression of An Wan and Zhao Lao's counterattack, but the old man felt that these were just small things, so he ignored them. Later, he was also very clear about the sales and recruitment of military, martyrs and police of Tang Yu's VCD company. For this reason, he also praised Tang Yu in front of Mr. He and others. He said he would think about the country.

"This year, I went to Xiangjiang to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li Jiacheng and deal with black water. But what I didn't expect was that Mr. Li Jiacheng actually mentioned to me that Sony in Japan and Philips in the Netherlands were looking for me through him, hoping to represent the patent of the VCD machine, which attracted my attention and the next thought.

Listening to Tang Yu's description, the top leader did not interrupt. At this time, the guard also brought tea to Song Wanru and Tang Yu. Tang Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly before continuing to say, "Before that, I heard someone buying a VCD machine in Pengcheng, Anhui and other places trying to crack the core principle of opening the VCD machine, and then imitated the same product to sell it on the market. I didn't care at the beginning. After all, our technology is not so easy to crack. Even if it is cracked, it is still very difficult for him to achieve our effect. By the time they can achieve our results, I guess we have launched new products.

The top leader and others nodded when they heard the words, and they also knew something about technology. It is easier said than to imitate than to do. It takes time and effort to reverse without complete design drawings and design ideas, and the effect is not good.

"Although some people tried to crack our machine, except for Anhui and iFLYTEK at the beginning, no enterprise came to us to discuss the issue of authorization." Hearing Tang Yu say this, Song Wanru couldn't help laughing! Isn't it that your methods are too violent to scare them?! About half of the Lin family has been abolished after this matter, and the masters of An Wan Hyundai are still in charge of a county-level enterprise that is on the verge of bankruptcy! With their precedent, who dares to twist your tiger's beard?! I'm not afraid that you will eat people! And I'm being called "Aunt Tiger" by people now! Say that I can eat people and don't spit bones!

"However, when I arrived in Xiangjiang, Sony and Philips came to me to discuss the issue of authorization, which made me not think about it. You know, there is no doubt about the R&D strength of Sony and Philips. If they want to crack my VCD project, it is undoubtedly easy, but they chose to talk to me about licensing, which shows their importance and cherishing of patents.

Tang Yu's words resonated with the top leader and He Lao. You should know that these two enterprises do have extremely strong research and development capabilities! Needless to say, Philips has tens of thousands of valid patent projects in the world! Billions of dollars are invested in research and development every year, which alone is enough for China to look up to now.

And Sony is also very strong! Every year, Sony applies for thousands of patents internationally, and seven or eight hundred at least! That is to say, on average, Sony will make one or two technology patents every day! This level of research and development is not strong! If they want to crack the core technology of VCD, it is naturally very easy. However, these two companies coincidentally chose to discuss the issue of authorization, and it is worth thinking about how to imitate and not to talk about authorization in China.

"Grandpa Deng, I know that we are discussing the issue of joining with the international trade organization. And the key point is also the issue between us and the United States, which is on the issue of the Intellectual Property Agreement. We have been negotiating on the WTO for many years, and it has been almost ten years since 1986! But I still haven't seen the dawn..."

Hearing Tang Yu's words, the supreme leader couldn't help but be silent. This has always been a mental illness. As early as the 1980s, he instructed the relevant departments to formally submit an application for customs resumption to the predecessor of the WTO, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). At that time, the timetable of this negotiation was predicted countless times at home and abroad. But no one expected that due to the gradual "politicization" of negotiations and their own arduousness, complexity, particularity and **ness, this talk has not seen a trace of possibility in the past ten years.

What the top chief didn't know was that the negotiations were not officially signed until eight years after his death. The whole negotiation process has continued for 15 years one after another! When the matter was over, it was concluded that the Chinese delegation changed four heads of delegation, the United States changed five chief negotiators, and the European Union changed four. Gillard, a Swiss who has been the chairman of the GATT (later WTO) China Working Group since 1987, said that at the beginning of his new job, some people joked that he, the chairman, might have to work for 10 years. Gillard laughed disapprovingly, but he didn't know that he had been working for 14 and a half years in the end!

There is no doubt that China's WTO entry negotiations are the most difficult competition in the history of the multilateral trading system, and it is also extremely rare in the history of world negotiations.

In October 1992, China entered substantive negotiations, that is, bilateral market access negotiations and multilateral negotiations around the drafting of China's WTO accession legal documents. But what China didn't expect was that at the end of last year, that is, at the end of 1994, some developed members led by the United States asked for unreasonable obstruction, which led to China's failure to resume customs.

At the beginning of this year, the WTO was established. China was instructed by the highest chief to apply for accession to the WTO immediately, and according to the request, it began tug-of-war bilateral negotiations with 37 WTO members. But until now, there have not been many results. Both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce have bitterly claimed that it is difficult to enter the WTO.

"But I believe that we will always join the WTO. The reason is simple: as the largest developing country in the world, we have more than one-fifth of the world's population. I believe that no one is willing to give up such a huge market, but they want to suppress us and don't want us to rise too fast. Tang Yu sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "There are political and economic reasons. Maybe there are ideological reasons."
