Chapter 184: First arrived in the U.S.
Friday, April 8.
At 12 o'clock in the US Eastern Time, after more than ten hours of boring flight, Xiao Qi, who set off alone, finally arrived in New York, the heart of the US empire.
People who have never been to the United States will feel that the United States is full of megacities, and every corner is a cluster of megacities such as the capital, the East, and the South Bay.
In fact, the real super city in the United States is almost only New York. Even their capital, Washington, D.C., is not a super city. It is just a plot of land combined with a wide administrative area, far away. There is no such density of buildings and population as New York or even the capital east.
The United States is about the same size as China, but the population is only one-fifth of China, and most of them are plains and hills, so they have a lot of places to live, and there is no need for everyone to squeeze in the city.
Only New York, the world's financial, cultural and entertainment center, has so many people gathered. The rest are scattered in various small cities in the United States, with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, which is taller and larger than that prevailing in China. , The whole city structure plan is really not the same way.
New York is a city with a very tight pace. The most famous is naturally the infamous Wall Street in the future. The various financial traps flowing out here directly entrap people all over the world, making it difficult to get up.
From the bottom of my heart, as an engineering graduate, Xiao Qi is a little wary of fraudulent financial methods. In his opinion, no matter when, people can only make progress through technology and industry. , Those virtual finances. Sooner or later it will be cast aside by everyone.
For example, now, the elites of Wall Street are already engaged in conspiracies one after another, and the crisis is imminent, but apart from a few people who know it clearly, even these elites themselves are addicted to the "games" they have developed. Inside, I can't extricate myself.
Xiao Qi is not that great, and will rush to the US government to tell them. What will the future global financial crisis look like? Because in that way, his best end is to be kept in a mental hospital for research.
Moreover, from the analysis of some experts later, Xiao Qi even knew that behind Wall Street, there was a vague shadow of the U.S. government. This financial turmoil swept the world, if the U.S. government’s **** was clean, it was simply connected. Ghosts don't believe it.
Therefore, Xiao Qi just passed by.
Where he wants to go. There was no direct plane from China, which happened to be not far from New York, so he chose New York to settle down.
In fact, in the United States in 1978, Xiao Qi basically never went out of Southern California, let alone this New York, which almost had to span the entire United States to reach.
He didn't even leave the airport, he just went to the American Airlines counter to get a ticket to Washington.
Some people say that the United States is a country on wheels. Xiao Qi thinks it's good, because almost every household in the United States has a car, and he likes to travel around in the car.
There are very few tolls on highways. I am afraid that the toll ratio is less than 10%, and all road maintenance costs, etc., have been included in the oil price, so even if the American’s favorite pickup is very fuel-intensive, they can afford it.
But it should also be said that the United States is a country on a plane.
Because almost all American cities and towns that you can know, as long as the population exceeds 50,000, there are planes that can reach them. This makes China, which is almost an airport in every province, is simply ashamed.
Coupled with the fact that there are so many domestic airlines in the United States, and the fuel costs are surprisingly cheap, with so many competitions, the fares are scaryly cheap.
Because their air and land transportation networks are so developed, it is convenient for Americans to go anywhere, and there is no delay in time.
Xiao Qi came to the United States mainly for two things. The first thing is naturally the most important thing to get his own closed operating system. The second thing is what he is going to do now-to the Carlisle area in Alexandria, Virginia. , Find the US Patent and Trademark Office there and apply for several important patents.
You may be unfamiliar with the city of Alexandria, but you just need to remember that it is close to Washington, a little bit south of Washington.
Most of the government agencies in the United States are in Washington, but they are not close to each other. They are scattered all around.
For example, the headquarters of the Patent and Trademark Office under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce has already been to Virginia, but in fact, it is about an hour's drive from the White House in Washington.
Xiao Qi likes to play with electronic products such as mobile phones and tablet computers, so he also knows that after a few years, the so-called patent disputes are simply overwhelming. With this big killer, Apple has swept Samsung, Motorola and other companies. Among them, Samsung Even with tears in his eyes, he gave a compensation of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.
Xiao Qi wants to be a tablet computer and a mobile phone, but he definitely can't get past the many patent traps.
In previous lives, foreign high-tech companies have already passed thousands of patents, occupying every aspect of the mobile phone and tablet computer industry, making all mobile phone and tablet computer manufacturers in China seem like a head. It was like getting into a pansi hole, and couldn't get out of it no matter what.
Just like what many Chinese companies do, if they don’t strive for something, they will find that most of the hard-earned money is actually made for others.
In order to make his electronic empire smoother, the young man was already preparing to do what he wanted to do right from the moment he decided to make a tablet computer ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
In his suitcase, there were only one or two sets of clothes for washing, and the remaining more than 500 drawings, involving 120 patents, were all prepared for this patent application.
When it comes to applying for a patent, people may think that it is very mysterious and high-tech, and you have to be a genius to apply for a patent.
However, this is not the case. According to internationally accepted patent laws, patents are usually divided into three categories: invention patents, design patents, and plant patents.
Powerful large electronics companies naturally dominate the first two items, such as Apple, Nokia, and Motorola, which do just that.
Xiao Qi studied precision mechanics, which is almost irrelevant to the electronics category. Therefore, in terms of technology, even if the two geniuses of Edison and Tesla are possessed by the enchanting body, he cannot keep up with the tens of thousands of scientific researchers. Decades of precipitation.
However, the rebirth has a huge advantage, and in some respects, it is absolutely unparalleled in the world. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
