My America

Chapter 28: Patent stick



It is undeniable that the current United States is not lagging behind in some areas, but that is not part of the field. The products that represent the most advanced in the world today are still in the hands of European countries. It is always a copycat European product, which is very detrimental to the reputation of the United States.

As we all know, the Sheffield family is also patriotic and cannot tolerate the damage to the reputation of the United States. This will make the people of the United States unable to raise their heads abroad. Although these farts have been brainwashed, they believe that the United States will be the first in the world and will never go abroad.

Only a small part of the reason is for the development of the family. This point Sheffield can swear. He is only for the better of the United States. He must eliminate some backward production capacity. Let the industry of the United States become more structured and orderly.

At present, the difficulty of being a factory owner is naturally higher than that of the Civil War, but it is not so high. It is still at the stage where it can be completed with a small workshop. Of course, this is inevitable for some primary industrial products.

This is also true in many coastal towns of the Republic in the later generations. When Japan and South Korea started, they also used the family as a small workshop to make a fortune, which is not bad. Nothing bad is for the small workshop, not for Sheffield.

Since the threshold is very low, there will be many competitors, and there will be a variety of products flooding the market. The Sheffield family may be slightly inferior to the old northern companies, but there is no doubt in front of these miscellaneous brands. It is a regular army. The best deal is undoubtedly a monopoly, and whether this is a Dixie or a Yankee, a consensus will be reached.

So there are too many competitors, so it is inevitable that there are too many opponents. It is not a good thing to have two missing fishes. Sheffield is pursuing stability. It is best for free people or middle class to stay in their class, do n’t try to become masters. .

"This trip to Europe, once I can achieve results, when I come back, I will wield a big stick of patents, prosecute all the small workshops and small factories, and reshape the domestic pattern. I believe this is not difficult, those who are not qualified People should simply be eliminated by the times and should not expect to enter the class they should not enter. "

In this room, there are only Sheffield and Galeries Lafayette. In the dim light, Sheffield ’s young face was serious, and he came up with his first set of heirs. "In this way, for DuPont, Rockefeller, Van der For Bilt and Andrew, they also have great benefits. I believe that they hate the emergence of new competitors, and they have an impact on the existing order. All people pursue the same, monopoly. We not only want to create The product also needs to be priced, and it also needs to balance the existence of the pricing power. At this point, we can cooperate with the Yankee. At present, this is not a disadvantage. "

"Do you want to go to various European countries to obtain patent licenses?" Annabel thought for a long time with her eyes closed, and said softly, "After obtaining the licenses, you will start to use these licenses to wield the big sticks of patents and clean up the small factory owners. A firm footing? It's actually okay to think so. But things shouldn't be so smooth. Will European countries agree? "

"If they don't agree, they won't be able to enter. Our country will still ignore the patents that are not in the United States and carry out imitations." Sheffield extended her finger. Both of us are beneficial. Many European companies also want to enter the United States, even the Rothschilds. "

Actually want to apply for a patent from the current United States. If you are a citizen of the United States, this is not difficult, but if you are a large foreign company, it will have a long review time and endless rash time. There are still many lawsuits waiting for them. This year, there are many patent disputes that are not ridiculous. Many patents are because Americans and foreigners are the real inventors.

Edison is a typical example in this regard. In 1854, the American Goebbels used carbonized bamboo wire to put in a vacuum glass bottle to emit electricity, which can maintain lighting for 400 hours. This is the earliest successful record of the lamp experiment. . Unfortunately, Goebbels did not apply for a patent design in time. In 1874, two Canadian electricians invented the addition of nitrogen to a glass bubble to glow with an energized carbon filament. Unfortunately, they did not have the money to continue the research and sold the patent to Edison.

Therefore, in the United States, Edison did not obtain the patent right of the light bulb at first, and it also fought for many years.

See if this is another self-made story, enough to attract young people to fight for it, and look forward to becoming the second Edison to change the United States. It is simply a typical representative of the American dream. If you don't consider Edison's majority shareholder to be a company called Morgan, it can be called inspirational enough.

With the support of Morgan, Edison realized how important it is to have more money and billions in his life. He felt that promising patents would all be bought. Seeing that talented technicians were hired immediately, he became the king of invention among people. .

The Sheffield family is rich, and there is no lack of factory layout, but it is more focused on the agricultural industry. There is no way for this. Who will let the products of the United States suffer even if the tariff is reduced? In addition to the few companies with standard oil, the only thing that the United States can really unimpeded is grains and grains and meat products, which is closely related to agriculture and animal husbandry.

Only agricultural and animal husbandry products can be marketed in Europe. The Sheffield family's internationally-minded enterprise is naturally unable to give up. Therefore, the factory belongs to the secondary position of the Sheffield family. Of course, they also pay attention to it, but they do not serve as the foundation.

"It seems that we need to prepare some legal talents, and we have to say hello to the Democratic Party. My grandmother hopes that your trip to Europe will not be too long, or that you will put all your ideas into practice before the election." Annabel After clearing the logic chain, it is regarded as the default of the heir's operation of the summer, and then asked, "Which country do you go to first?"

"Both Britain and Germany are OK!" Sheffield looked a little hesitant. Although it seemed unpleasant to give pointers on the surface, he did not really think about this specific issue.

"I can give you a list of long-term and European relations networks, and here even includes the Ottoman powers, but this is my long-term relationship network established in the international transportation labor trade. But ..." Annabel said a pause Road, "I suggest you go to France first. Although your father is a complete playboy, this thing can definitely help you. A good start is very important."

"I listen to you!" Automatically filtering the proper term of international transportation labor trade, which is actually the beautification of the slave trade, Sheffield very cleverly agreed.
