Chapter 473 The First Set Becomes a Hand Set
Hearing He Jian's words, Qi Mudeng suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. He stared at He Jian and asked eagerly:
"You said that Linji's products plagiarized your technology. Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course." He Jian came well prepared. He took out a piece of information, handed it to Qi Mudeng, and said, "Professor Qi, come and see, I have compared the Someno multi-station machine tool and the Linji multi-station machine tool. , listed 72 major similarities, and anyone in the machine tool industry can see that this is blatant plagiarism."
Qi Mudeng took the material handed over by He Jian, opened it and looked at it for a few times, and was completely confused as to what "rotation axis angle error compensation" was and what "high-strength and large-damping closed frame" was. For Qi Mudeng, who has a pure liberal arts background, such a material is simply a heavenly book. Not to mention whether it is right or wrong, he has not even been able to find out the specific point He Jian wanted to express.
Speaking of which, I can't blame He Jian for this. When He Jian was preparing this material, he considered taking care of Qi Mudeng's understanding ability. The entire material is well written with pictures and texts, and many concepts are expressed in more popular terms as much as possible. But the problem is that automotive multi-station machine tools are very high-end equipment. If He Jian wants to accuse Linye of plagiarizing Yeye technology, it is impossible to start with some low-end concepts. If He Jian said that he had plagiarized Someno's low-end technology at the last moment, I'm afraid no one in the world would believe it. To talk about high-end technology, it must involve some complex concepts. All concepts that can be understood by liberal arts professors at a glance. How high-end can it be?
"Well, the summary is very good, well-founded, conclusive evidence, and very valuable! This approach of Linhe Machine Tool Group is very inconsistent with business ethics and should be condemned morally and legally!"
Qi Muden looked at it pretendingly for a while, and then concluded with an indignant tone. He wanted to speak with more weight, but he couldn't understand anything, and he couldn't say anything useful, so he could only use this kind of snake oil-style evaluation.
"So, Professor Qi, look, can you appeal for us on this matter?" He Jian asked timidly. The other party was a famous professor. He couldn't figure out the other party's temper for a while, so he could only speak in a low voice.
"I think, Manager He, you should not swallow your anger about something like this, but should resort to law! Since you have such conclusive evidence, I wonder which court would dare to bend the law and cover up." Qimudeng said.
"This... is a bit difficult." He Jian said, "The people in Linji are very cunning. Although they plagiarized our technology, they bypassed the patents we owned, making it impossible for us to attack them legally. Even if we If you go to court to sue, I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything.”
"Isn't everything written clearly in your materials?" Qi Mudeng said in surprise.
"It was written, but based on this evidence alone, it may not hold enough weight legally. What we plagiarized at the opportunity was mainly some design ideas, and design ideas are not protected by patents." He Jian explained.
"Oh, that's what it means."
Qi Muden was a little discouraged. Although he does not understand mechanics, he is still an academic person and knows that the so-called plagiarism of ideas is somewhat free-spirited. He Jian sorted out 72 similarities between Linji machine tools and Someno machine tools. In the end, they are all about design ideas, which shows that there is really nothing wrong with Linji machine tools.
With this thought in his mind, Qimudeng had to pretend to have everything under control. He nodded and said:
"Actually, this is a lack of legal provisions. You must know that design thinking is the most important core of technology. Technology without ideas has no soul. The design ideas mastered by Western companies have been developed from generation to generation over hundreds of years. What is passed down is engraved in the bones of Western engineers.
"There are some domestic companies that are unwilling to spend hundreds of years accumulating. They want to take shortcuts all day long and fantasize about obtaining technology through imitation or even plagiarism.
"They don't know that even if they can plagiarize some superficial ideas, they can't get the real ideological core. The gap between our domestic technology and foreign technology is so big because we lack such an ideological core."
"Professor Qi is so right!"
He Jian praised with admiration.
In his mind, he had another thought: What nonsense about car wheels? Machine tool design is guided by theory. If you master these theories, you will naturally master the design ideas. There is no such thing as surface and core. s things? What else is there about soul? You think it’s you intellectuals who write articles to attract attention.
"So, Professor Qi, regarding this matter, can you speak up and seek justice for us?" He Jian asked.
"This..." Qi Muden frowned and said: "This matter of yours is indeed a very good case and deserves in-depth study. However, I now have a national fund project at hand, which will be completed soon. My current doctoral and master's students are all tied up in several projects, so I can only do this project myself, and the time is a bit tight..."
He Jian said: "This matter will not delay Professor Qi too much time. We mainly hope that Professor Qi can help us write a few articles and publish them in the media. We can write the first draft of the specific articles first, and Qi The professor just needs a little polish.”
"How is this appropriate?" Qi Muden said with a serious face.
He Jian laughed along and said: "Professor Qi, we also considered that you are too busy with work, so we asked someone to do some copywriting for you. However, you must take action for the final check. Don't worry, regarding your remuneration..."
"It's meaningless to talk about remuneration. I never write articles for remuneration. Am I the kind of person who would give up for five buckets of rice?" Qi Mudeng scolded dissatisfiedly. Before He Jian could interrupt, he added righteously. One sentence: "If I want to make money, I can take on any project, and the fee will be hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. I don't need to get any clear remuneration from your company at all?"
"I understand!" He Jian was so smart that he immediately heard the hint in Qi Mudeng's words. He quickly said: "Professor Qi, I made a mistake just now. In fact, our Someno Company wanted to ask Professor Qi to do it for us. The funding for a project to evaluate corporate competitiveness is tentatively set at 100,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Qi Muden nodded slightly and said: "The evaluation of the competitiveness of foreign-funded enterprises in the Chinese market is an interesting topic. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, I just think that if you can go deep into your company and conduct on-the-spot research, you will definitely gain a lot. . Otherwise, let’s settle this matter first. Manager He can find someone to write a first draft of your article and let me take a look. If I think it’s okay, I will send it to several financial media. They will give it to me. I’m always quite interested in the manuscripts I send.”
Qi Muden really didn't brag on this issue. A few days later, a well-known domestic financial magazine published his signed article with an artistic title called "Beware of the First Glove Turning into a Glove" Lift the set".
In this article, Qi Muden first reluctantly affirmed the country's just-introduced policy to promote the first set of equipment, and then changed the subject and began to accuse some domestic equipment companies of lacking real innovation. The so-called first set of equipment is actually " "Hand-lifting", that is, raising your hand to take things from others, has no soul.
By the way, the playful homophonic meme of "hands lifting gloves" was obviously created by Qi Muden. After all, these liberal arts professors usually rely on this kind of meme to attract attention.
In order to illustrate the point in the title, the article cited the example of a multi-station machine tool for automobiles newly launched by a large state-owned machine tool company, pointing out that the company's products largely imitated similar products of a foreign-funded company. Although according to existing laws, it is very difficult to It is difficult to hold this large-scale machine tool state-owned enterprise accountable for infringement, but its approach has seriously violated market rules and undermined normal business competition, with endless consequences.
When describing this case, the article used a lot of machine tool terminology, which made the general public feel confused. After all, not everyone can understand machine tool technology. After seeing these awkward concepts, everyone decided to believe the conclusion of the article.
The first draft that He Jian sent to Qi Mudeng actually mentioned Linji's name directly. However, Qi Mudeng was a veteran after all and knew not to overdo things, so he personally changed Linji's name before publishing. It became "a certain large-scale machine tool state-owned enterprise" to avoid the trouble that may be caused by directly naming the company.
However, currently, the only domestic company that manufactures multi-station automotive machine tools is Linji, and this matter has been reported in the media recently. Everyone will know what the article refers to at a glance.
"The policy of first set of sets is a good book, but we must prevent it from being misread by some fake monks. The author believes that the implementation of the policy of first set of sets should be carried out with great caution to avoid this policy becoming a protective umbrella for the 'hand-lifting set' design , This will not only damage the interests of downstream manufacturers, but also dampen the enthusiasm of those real innovators..."
In the conference room of Linji Group's headquarters, Li Jia, deputy director of the office, read the last paragraph of Qi Muden's article and put down the magazine with the scent of ink.
"This guy is crazy. Why do you think our design is plagiarized and imitated? Does he understand machine tool design?" Zhan Keqin, the group's deputy general manager in charge of production, commented angrily.
"This Qi Muden is an economics professor. He doesn't know anything about machine tool design." Han Weichang, general manager of the sales company, said, "If I guess correctly, this article should have been written for him by He Ji'an from Someno." , those terms in the article were also listed by He Jian. This old guy was also a craftsman back then, and he still has some technical background."
