Chapter 652 System Upgrade
"Patent fee? What does that mean?" Shen Wenyin didn't understand for a moment.
Xu Jingshan reacted faster, because he used to be a medical professor and was familiar with some international affairs.
He explained: "It's an invention award. If you develop a product, the technology of this product is yours personally. If others want to use your technology, they have to pay you a certain fee. This is the so-called intellectual property rights."
Speaking of intellectual property, Shen Wenyin finally understood.
That's what happened.
But the next moment she frowned slightly: "Our country..."
Li Zhenmin knew what Shen Wenyin wanted to say, so he interrupted: "I thought so before, but then Uncle Zhang mentioned it to me, and the country also recognized it, which means that when I was developing anti-cancer drugs, I did not belong to any unit."
"I am not from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or a medical university research lab. To be precise, I am doing research on my own, but the hospital has given me some support."
"But the hospital did not sign a contract with me, and did not explicitly require that my research results belong to the hospital, so...to be precise, this research result belongs to me personally."
"I didn't know about it before, but Uncle Zhang applied for the relevant patent for me right away. I didn't know about it until after mass production when Uncle Zhang told me about the patent dividends."
That's pretty much it.
There are actually more subtle reasons.
In principle, Li Zhenmin did not receive such treatment. Zhang Huaiyuan played a significant role behind the scenes. Of course, Zheng Dexu and Tu Linsheng from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine also helped.
The root cause is that anti-cancer drugs are about to be developed and released to the world, but where are the R&D teams or researchers?
Perhaps because of Li Zhenmin's request, the country has not yet made his name public, but this is only temporary. Sooner or later, Li Zhenmin's name will be made public and known to the world.
Moreover, this is a milestone in medical history. Who dares to take this position?
In addition, everyone in the circle knows about Li Zhenmin's cooperation with the hospital. They all know that Li Zhenmin is not from the research institute or other units. This matter is also kept in the archives and will be announced in the future. It is very easy to find.
What's more, Tu Linsheng, Zheng Dexu, Wang Changman, Zhang Huaiyuan and others voted by raising their hands, and after the meeting, the patent was finally reserved for Li Zhenmin.
The apparent reason is respect for intellectual property rights and respect for talent, but the actual reason is tacitly acknowledged by everyone, because they are afraid that foreign countries will find out and expose it and then use it to attack the country's politics.
Of course, more importantly, Number One also knew about this matter, and it was he who ultimately gave the order.
However, this matter took a lot of time from the beginning to the end, which is why Zhang Huaiyuan did not tell Li Zhenmin about it immediately.
The patent dividends are not high. Calculated over time, the state gives Li Zhenmin 5 yuan every year. As for whether it will increase in the future, that is unknown.
Li Zhenmin received the money and put it in the system space. He was too busy these days and forgot to tell Shen Wenyin for a while.
"Fifty thousand yuan?" Shen Wenyin was not very surprised after hearing the news, nor did she complain about why Li Zhenmin didn't tell her earlier. She was just a little confused.
Li Zhenmin nodded: "I saved it. I will withdraw it in the next few days and find someone to exchange it for yellow croaker. Yellow croaker is definitely more suitable for buying a house. After all, it is the hard currency of the world."
Paper money needs to be exchanged when going abroad and will deteriorate, but gold is different.
Those who want to sell their houses will definitely prefer gold, and they will choose it even if the price is lower. After all, it is not only hard currency, but also more portable and safe.
Just as he finished speaking, a special reminder from the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding, system upgrade, estimated to take 12 hours. ]
【Upgrade content: 1. Open the system mall, and the specific products will be subject to regular refresh; 2. After the skill reaches the maximum level, continue to learn, experience will be issued in the form of points, and the experience gained by taking in apprentices will also be cancelled and changed to points. Points can be used to purchase goods in the system mall. 3. The currencies of various countries and valuable things can be exchanged for gold and silver, with the real-time exchange rate as a reference. 】
Li Zhenmin didn't pay attention at first and just glanced at it casually, but when he saw the content above, he was shocked.
To be precise, this is the second upgrade of the system.
And this time it is obviously more advanced.
If you can exchange currency and valuables for silver and gold, then you must be hoarding gold.
In addition, a system mall has been opened where points can be used for purchases. Some of the original rewards for accepting disciples, such as food coupons, are now useless. They are now cancelled and replaced with points, which is simply perfect!
You can also earn points by continuing to learn after a skill reaches the maximum level. You should know that before upgrading, you cannot continue to gain experience by continuing to learn after a skill reaches the maximum level. The skills acquired through learning are highly restricted by this world. But now after the system upgrade, perhaps this can be broken.
"Hey Hey hey...."
Xu Jingshan's voice rang out, bringing Li Zhenmin back to his senses from the shock of the system.
Seeing that Li Zhenmin finally came back to his senses, Xu Jingshan said unhappily, "I've been calling you for a long time. What are you thinking about? Why did you sleepwalk while talking? Are you having mental problems?"
"I just thought of something, it's okay." Li Zhenmin smiled awkwardly: "Where were we talking about just now?"
Xu Jingshan said speechlessly: "You mentioned before that you would exchange the money for yellow croaker to buy a house. I was wondering if you have any channels. Do you want me to ask for you?"
Li Zhenmin refused without a second thought: "No, you should keep your money for other purposes. You don't need to worry about the gold. I have connections. I have nothing to do in the next few days. If you are free, please help me find out where there are houses for sale. The quality doesn't matter, just as long as it is as big as possible."
Xu Jingshan looked at Li Zhenmin with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Do you think my money is dirty?"
Li Zhenmin: “…”
It’s over. I forgot this guy is a stubborn person.
"No, no, I just don't want to be your gigolo, hehe..."
"Don't play tricks on me. If you don't want my money, who will I give it to? Does the Xu family need this from me? Am I really going to take it to my coffin?"
"That's not up to you. I don't want it anyway. I know what you're thinking, but I don't want to have this reputation. You have to understand me, right? Or you can give some financial support to Grandma Liu. Her family should be in financial difficulty right now."
Li Zhenmin thinks this needs to be made clear.
He can have any relationship with Xu Jingshan, but he cannot have such behavior of inheriting property. Once such thing is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives and he is framed, it will be impossible to explain himself.
However, Xu Jingshan was obviously not someone who could change his mind so easily. He was so angry that he didn't know whether to sit or stand, and didn't know whether to speak or not.
Finally, I don't know what I thought of, and said: "Sooner or later, I will be mad at you. I don't bother to talk to you, you are just an ungrateful person."
After saying that, he left directly.
Li Zhenmin always felt that this old guy was going to cause trouble, but it hadn't happened yet, so it was hard to say anything. He could only be on guard and take things one step at a time."
