Liu Yiwen also found it baffling, "How can this thing be a cell phone? Can it only be touched with your fingers?"
Liu Meilan nodded upon hearing this. "Ah, right! It's touch-based! The switch is on the side. Once you turn it on, an interface will appear, just like a computer. Computers use a mouse, and some early mobile phones used a stylus for writing. Our technology is developing so that you can touch it directly with your finger..."
As she explained, Liu Meilan listed several advantages and future development directions.
Liu Yiwen and Ye Qiang were dumbfounded. "Is that really possible?"
Liu Meilan asked with a smile, "You just said that current 2G phones can only improve the appearance and add some camera functions at most, but it's hard to find anything else! But this kind of phone is different; it can store a lot of things..."
Liu Yiwen stroked his chin. "If such a phone really existed, I would definitely want to buy it!"
Ye Qiang blinked, looking at Liu Meilan with a complicated expression, "No wonder you look down on the current mobile phone manufacturing industry!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, I really don't think much of it! If I wanted to enter this industry, I could simply buy a mobile phone manufacturing plant, but many things are purchased from abroad! Of course, I also know that for a long time to come, many electronic components will have to be purchased from abroad, but we must also have our own patents..."
After listening to Liu Meilan's explanation, Ye Qiang suddenly understood. "I get it now. You've proposed preemptively securing patents, so if foreign countries want to use them, they'll have to exchange patent usage rights with us. This way, we can not only reduce costs but also deal with external constraints!"
Liu Meilan nodded repeatedly, "Yes! They have a first-mover advantage, so many patents are holding us back! But there's nothing we can do about it; joining the WTO means we have to abide by the rules! Since that's the case, we also need to find a way to create some patents, or create some patents for their future development, to hold them back."
"If you let me use your patents, then you can use mine! If you charge me for your patents, then I'll charge you for mine! Only by having checks and balances can we achieve healthy development in competition, instead of being constantly suppressed by others!"
Liu Yiwen was extremely excited. "Meilan, have these technologies started to be developed yet?"
Liu Meilan smiled, quite smugly, "Why do you think I spent so much money in the capital during the New Year? Wasn't it all for the sake of making arrangements in advance?"
"Now I communicate with various teams there every week, and they have already started developing some cutting-edge technologies I have proposed, and the progress is quite fast! Once the technologies have yielded results, I will immediately apply for international and domestic patents!"
Ye Qiang gave Liu Meilan a thumbs up, "Impressive! No wonder you look down on these things and want to gradually accumulate these technologies. When the time is right, we can manufacture a mobile phone and have the advantage of being a latecomer but first to succeed!"
Liu Yiwen exclaimed in admiration, "I admire you! Meilan, you're truly amazing!"
Liu Meilan smiled, "You flatter me! Please forgive me for any shortcomings I may have in my daily work! As you know, I'm usually very busy! Many things require me to take charge of the overall direction, which isn't something that can be done by just talking and banging on the table! It requires careful thinking, so I'm very direct in my actions and very direct and efficient in my speech. Sometimes this inevitably makes you brothers a little unhappy, so please don't mind!"
Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "You're my sister. Even if you scold me or beat me up, what can I do? If I tell Mom, Dad, and Grandpa, I might get three more beatings! Of course, I'm just kidding, so don't take it too seriously! I know your abilities! It's just that our understanding and our thoughts might not be as comprehensive or far-sighted as yours. Without understanding, it's inevitable that we might be a little impatient!"
Ye Qiang chuckled, "Meilan, my thoughts are similar to your second brother's! It's inevitable to get anxious when you don't understand something. But after you explained it to us, we can take it calmly!"
Liu Meilan squinted her eyes, "If you have any complaints, just tell me. Don't keep them to yourself and let them affect our relationship! Because my time is really tight, I don't have much time to pay attention to and analyze everyone's emotions! I apologize to everyone in advance!"
The deed is done, but there are some things that need to be said.
Otherwise, if this continues, even if Liu Meilan can bring many highly profitable projects and industries to the team, it will cause the team to split up.
This is something Liu Meilan doesn't want to see, because at this stage, her second brother and Ye Qiang are very capable and can fully carry out her arrangements. It might not be the same with anyone else!
Everyone is swept along or pushed forward by the tide of the times.
Because of her insights and knowledge from her previous life, Liu Meilan almost remembered everything that was said in the newspapers and on television news, which gave her an advantage.
Not only were they not swept away by the times, but they were also able to lead the trend of development and become trendsetters of the era.
Qin Zheng, a nurse, arrived at the consulate at 10 a.m. to apply for a visa. Because it was a tourist visa and he provided sufficient financial guarantees, he obtained the visa very smoothly.
After obtaining his visa, Qin Zheng returned to the company and had his secretary book a flight to the United States.
After arriving at the office, I turned on my computer and logged into my email.
Now, many important documents need to be sent to him or copied to him.
Every day after arriving at the office, Qin Zheng would open his email and process these emails.
One of the emails, from Cao Yuanyuan, caught Qin Zheng's eye. He immediately opened it, disregarding the other emails.
When Qin Zheng saw the contents, he was slightly taken aback. Cao Yuanyuan said that she met a professor at school who looked like Professor Xie!
To this end, Cao Yuanyuan even took a special opportunity to take a photo with the female professor named Catherine Wu, whose ancestral home is Shanghai. The photo is attached, and Qin Zheng immediately downloaded it!
Just as Cao Yuanyuan said, he does resemble Professor Xie by about seven or eight points.
Qin Zheng remembered that when he took Liu Yibang to the nurses' area before, Liu Yibang had told him that his great-grandfather was from Shanghai and that there were many old photos of him!
Qin Zheng replied, "I just bought a plane ticket and am going to travel to the United States. I'll also visit Professor Wu while I'm there! If he really is Professor Xie's relative, I'll let Professor Xie know then."
The plane ticket was for the next day. After packing his luggage, Qin Zheng boarded the plane bound for the other side of the ocean.
