Chapter 126 The Ultimate Goal
Professor Muto Kiyoshi and his team roughly went through the information brought by Shirakawa Kaede.
It has to be said that Shirakawa Electric's addition of patents was a brilliant move.
After a patent is registered, it does not mean that it remains unchanged. The patent owner can upgrade the previous technology and make additional explanations.
Of course, the premise is that you are still the first person to propose this technical description.
Walkman has only been on sale for half a year and has not yet been exported. Therefore, there is no doubt that the patent supplement negotiated by Shirakawa Electric and Andre is still valid.
This blocked the loopholes that may have existed before, and Shirakawa Electric was successfully promoted from a patent licensee to a patent inventor.
Don't underestimate this small explanation. With it, Professor Muto Kiyoshi and his colleagues have the confidence to make Shirakawa Electric invincible.
When several law school leaders were discussing what Shirakawa Electric should do next.
Baichuan Feng also sat with his teacher again.
In addition to coming to Meiji to cry to his parents today, he was also never vague when it came to showing his filial piety.
"Teacher Yamada, when Shirakawa passed by the campus just now, he suddenly found that some of the teaching buildings were already quite old.
This will really affect the students' enthusiasm for learning. Well, of course, this does not mean that Baichuan has any opinions about the school.
But I think... well, is it possible..."
Professor Yamada looked at Shirakawa Feng with a smile but didn't respond to his words.
Instead, he acted as if he was not involved, with an expression that said "please continue with your performance" and continued to watch the show.
"Cough" Baichuan Feng coughed dryly, "Teacher, look, Baichuan Electric is not..."
He simply gave up pretending and just came clean, the last thing he did was to say the word "donate money".
However, Professor Yamada interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Your Shirakawa Electric Company does not need to worry about these things, but the school has commissioned research projects every year.
You might consider Shirakawa Electric.
For more detailed information, you can go to the school's Intellectual Property Office or Professor Kikuchi. "
Baichuan Feng's mind moved, "Commissioned research plan?"
Professor Yamada nodded and took a sip of his teacup. "The company commissioned teachers and students from relevant majors in the school to conduct targeted development research."
Isn’t this industry-university-research cooperation? Baichuan Feng understood it instantly.
Then, thinking back to what Professor Yamada had just said, Shirakawa Feng felt moved again.
The professor interrupted Baichuan Feng's idea of donating money directly, but turned around and told him about this so-called commissioned research project.
In fact, I just don't want him to spend money in vain, and spend money for his alma mater. It also needs to be considered how to spend it.
Ultimately, money should be spent meaningfully, and cooperation between industry, academia and research can be said to be a win-win for all parties.
Shirakawa Electric acquired the technology, the school's teachers and students verified the academic conjecture in practice, and Meiji University saved a sum of money.
This is a win-win situation in the true sense, and for Shirakawa Electric at present.
To be honest, it was a stretch for Shirakawa Electric to entrust the Meiji University team to carry out development and research.
After all, not every small company can cooperate with a prestigious university.
But for Shirakawa Kaede, who was born in the Meiji era, these are not a problem.
"Remember, this is commissioned research, not joint research." While Shirakawa Kaede was still considering industry-university-research cooperation, Professor Yamada specifically added one more sentence.
Commissioned research means that the enterprise pays for the project and the university completes the research task. The final intellectual property rights belong to the enterprise.
Joint research, as the name suggests, involves both parties contributing money and effort, and of course the final intellectual property rights are also jointly owned by both parties.
This piece of advice was given by Yamada from a personal perspective, rather than answering in his capacity as a professor at Meiji University.
Baichuan Feng bowed to his teacher. He understood the reason behind it.
At this time, Shirakawa Electric has not yet reached the point where it needs to gain fame, and development is its top priority.
When Shirakawa Electric becomes a large enterprise one day, perhaps it will be the right time to erect a "Shirakawa Teaching Building" on campus.
As for now, industry-university-research cooperation is the most suitable choice for it.
Both were spent on Meiji, but the purposes, methods and final gains were different.
At this time, Baichuan Feng felt more and more that it was a wise decision to bring all the business information of Baichuan Electric.
He never thought of hiding it, or trying to cover it up with the intention of not showing off his wealth.
It is because the teacher saw his own potential, or it is because Meiji saw the potential of Shirakawa Electric, that we have achieved what we have today.
Resources are limited and precious, and every investment needs to be evaluated to see if it is worthwhile.
Yes, these resources will only be used by people or companies that are worth investing in.
As for the reward..., Baichuan Feng raised his head and looked at his teacher.
"The development of enterprises will eventually return to society and be integrated into society." Professor Yamada stood up and turned his gaze to Tokyo outside the window.
“From the perspective of responsibility, it can be roughly divided into three stages: responsibility to employees, responsibility to the region, and responsibility to society.
From another perspective, it can also be said that it affects employees, the region, and society. "
Professor Shirakawa Yamada turned around with a puzzled look in his eyes. "I should have taught you this when you graduated, but it's not too early now."
Baichuan Feng's breathing was a little rapid, and he felt his skin trembling slightly.
“Investment and return are sometimes not equal, and even in the short term, some investments have no return at all.
However, the vision of ordinary people is always limited by the immediate interests. For real investment, the return on money is the lowest.
The most valuable reward is when it can impact every aspect of your life.
For example, the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation that people rely on for survival, the functioning of society, and the governance of a country..."
"Teacher," Baichuan Feng suddenly stood up, "I have learned a lot today, and I will remember your teachings in my heart.
Shirakawa Electric will also take giving back to society as its ultimate goal, so please rest assured."
Professor Yamada glanced at him and suddenly laughed. This kid is very cautious.
But this is a good thing. If you want to be an entrepreneur, being cautious at all times is a necessary psychological quality.
Shirakawa Feng knew what Professor Yamada wanted to say next, but he was a little afraid to listen.
He is currently just the president of a small and inconspicuous company. Hearing these things sound too high-end and do not match his status.
In fact, he was mainly afraid of the will that dominated time and space.
Some things are better not to be discussed in depth.
What a wretched development. What a wretched development.
At this time, Professor Muto Kiyoshi's discussion with several old acquaintances also came to an end, and they basically sorted out the information about Shirakawa Electric.
However, although Shirakawa Electric has complete information, Muto Kiyoshi and others do not recommend that Shirakawa Electric take the initiative to provoke Sony.
After all, when a company grows to this point, its influence is multifaceted.
What Shirakawa Electric needs is time, and development is its most fundamental task.
Of course, if the other party takes the initiative to cause trouble, there is no need to back down.
When it is time to draw the sword, you have to draw the sword. One punch will start the fight, and you will avoid a hundred punches.
