Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 428 - 420: Metaphysical Stroller
Professional analysts and specialized media have begun to take part in evaluating Northern Hao Technology, a company that was established not long ago.
How could it have reached this point in just one year?
Other tech companies, after being established for a year, might still be confirming their research direction or applying for various Zheng Mansion subsidies.
Yet, this company surprisingly managed to secure hundreds of patents, swiftly.
Even if they are all minor ones, don't they still require meticulous research?
Could it be another fraudulent company inflating bubbles?
However, professionals soon came out to confirm that these patents are indeed genuine.
Researchers meticulously analyze, calculate, experiment, and validate in laboratories... Whether the process is truly as detailed is unknown, but even if the patents are bought, acquiring so many new patents in a short time can be quite difficult.
Moreover, some patents form systems.
Especially in the mobile phone sector, the application is swift.
Not only has Xiaomi, which has investment ties with the company, adopted several technologies, but even Samsung, occupying 17.4% of the market share and ranking first overall in China, and Apple, holding 9.8% and ranking third, have used Northern Hao Technology patents, reaching patent fees in the millions US Dollars per month.
Because there are a few particularly practical patents within Northern Hao Technology's mobile patent technology, which drastically improve smartphone user experience, brands focusing on smartphones have had to actively seek collaboration.
Otherwise, they'd be outshone by competitors.
Actually, in these times, copying is commonplace; smartphone manufacturers indiscriminately follow trends and imitate.
However, Northern Hao Technology is akin to being particularly focused on patent protection.
When the renowned technology company Lianxiang took a certain patent without permission, Northern Hao Technology immediately filed a lawsuit against Lianxiang for this product, requiring Lianxiang to compensate and prohibiting sales of phones using the relevant patents in the market.
The compensation wasn't really a large amount.
The prohibition of selling the related phones in the market was the real blow.
After some back-and-forth, Lianxiang compensated with a substantial sum as a settlement.
Evidently, in court in the capital, Northern Hao Technology had the advantage.
With a five-year research investment of at least ten billion, it's like a carrot that makes the local Zheng Mansion seriously interested.
Earlier, they had sent people from various departments to verify that Northern Hao Technology's research is genuine; it's a very pragmatic tech enterprise.
As for Lianxiang, their annual research plan is 2.5 billion.
It doesn't appear to be less than Northern Hao Technology's.
But with their market value reaching over hundreds of billions of US Dollars, only investing a bit for research is incomparable to Northern Hao Technology's prowess.
Furthermore, they have research centers in Miguo and Neon, while their domestic centers are scattered in the capital, Shen City, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and other places.
Additionally, there's another matter.
While the capital is bustling with the Zhongguan Village Science and Technology Park, Lianxiang goes to Jiangcheng with an investment of 5 billion to establish research and manufacturing bases.
The capital would understandably feel slighted, considering they initially supported with real cash, and now that your wings are stiff, seeking to build an international company flying everywhere.
No way for Lianxiang to be sheltered under these circumstances.
After New Year's Day, Qi Hao began assigning new tasks to the research center.
Starting from the small fragments in 2012, to head towards more challenging areas.
The first year served as practice, allowing various research teams to blend, and filtering out top talents.
The second year was the real beginning.
Of course, while the challenges seemed high, they weren't to an unreachable extent.
After all, the path has to be taken step by step.
And, the system only provided a basic technical gift package; immediate dominance over Europe and America wasn't realistic.
Yet, even so, the company president Zhang Nan was labeled as opportunistic.
Many conservative researchers advised company executives to focus on technological "maturation."
What could Zhang Nan do?
He was the president, also the spokesperson for research objectives, he had no choice but to bear this burden himself.
Certainly couldn't reveal it was the orders of our behind-the-scenes boss.
In vain, when reporting to the boss, he even presented a very good stroller as a New Year's gift.
Qi Hao was now looking at this stroller.
"It's actually a specially customized version by the manufacturer, Zhang Nan really put quite some thought into it."
"The baby should like it; if it's a little girl, maybe we can add some pink decorations?"
An Feng's eight-month belly was already quite large.
However, they didn't check the baby's gender; everyone would like the child regardless of being a boy or a girl.
"I prefer a little boy."
An Feng touched her belly, the little one gave her a kick, unclear if it was in response to her preference or criticizing mom for favoring boys over girls.
"Alright, it's either a boy or a girl, no way like Old Tian's family having three possibilities."
Qi Hao would rather have a little girl.
The couple had lightly disputed over this a few times, each time culminating in An Feng's victory; Qi Hao dared not argue with the little pregnant woman.
In Old Tian's family—their case was twins.
"Unlikely to be one boy and one girl, their family is identical twins; ah, why can't I have twins, having two at once would be so worthwhile."
An Feng fell into melancholy.
"Sorry, honey, it's my fault!"
Qi Hao quickly repented; An Feng was the world's biggest now.
An Feng's pregnancy caused some emotional volatility.
Worried she might develop postpartum depression, Qi Hao generally obeyed her commands.
"Oh, come off it," An Feng was amused by him: "Their baby seems likely to be born earlier than ours."
"Right, twins are born earlier, ours cannot be the elder sibling."
Qi Hao jokingly said.
Old Tian's baby was conceived later than his, but from ultrasound results, it looks like they'll deliver half a month earlier.
Currently, Madam Tian is already in the hospital awaiting delivery.
"It doesn't matter, their baby is bigger, must yield in fights."
An Feng saw some advantages.
"They have two, and we only have one, can't fight them."
Qi Hao reminded her helplessly.
"Well... It's better to be friendly, fighting isn't good," An Feng stood up and extended her hand: "Haozi, accompany me for a walk..."
Qi Hao hurriedly supported her.
On the way out, he patted the stroller, then designated the stroller to become a mystical stroller.
After confirming, Qi Hao understood the effects of the mystical stroller.
First, the quality of the stroller will improve, becoming sturdier and less prone to damage.
Second, the stroller will bring more joy to the baby; the baby will be in a great mood when placed in the stroller.
Third, the stroller will make the baby more comfortable and healthier, reducing the occurrence of illness.
Though it isn't extremely mystical.
However, Qi Hao was already satisfied.
Having seen other freshly born babies, some are quite demanding, almost deafening their parents with screams.
Crying all day long with or without reason.
If this stroller could make the baby more comfortable and happier, it would certainly make them grateful as new parents.
Can't always rely on the mother-in-law and one's own mother, after all.
As for being "healthier, reducing the occurrence of illness," it remains an unknown how effective it really is.
But having something is better than nothing.
No matter how great he is, whether it's as The Godfather in film or The Godfather in technology, in reality, they are merely human.
He can't alter the cycle of life and death, nor can he change his child's ailments.
Thus, he sincerely hopes for the child's safety and well-being.
No need to be exceptionally smart to inherit his legacy, nor need to have outstanding looks to perfectly inherit his and An Feng's qualities.
Peaceful and happy are all that's needed.
