Chapter 376 Press Conference [Part 2]
Scientific research is not like growing vegetables. It is impossible to plant them today and harvest them in a month.
Many studies often take years to succeed, and any mistake will seriously slow down the progress of research and development. In particular, many times, you may not even know where you made a mistake. For example, if the research direction is wrong, then no matter how hard you try, you will not succeed.
However, Mingyuan Technology's process of developing USB flash drives clearly violated common sense in scientific research.
In just over a month, the results were achieved. This really arouses suspicion and makes people wonder whether Mingyuan Technology really stole other people's technology. Otherwise, how could you be so fast?
This question suddenly made everyone fall into deep thought.
Yes, you said you developed it, so it takes time to develop it. How long has Mingyuan Technology been established? You said you can develop it just like that?
This is simply a betrayal of the laws of scientific research.
If this issue is not explained clearly, there will definitely be people who will write about it in the future.
Lu Yiming also knew this very well, so he did not intend to respond directly, but directly questioned this point of view: "Why must scientific research be slow? Why must innovation require constant trial and error? These so-called normal logics can only be used to measure ordinary people, but there are geniuses in this world. It is unreasonable to use the so-called normal logic of ordinary people to measure geniuses."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden shock at the scene, and everyone looked at Lu Yiming in disbelief.
Even Li Zixian, who was standing backstage watching the fun, was surprised. Lu Yiming's action was simply equivalent to overturning the table.
However, Li Zixian soon figured it out.
It is probably difficult to change the public's view of Mingyuan Technology by passively responding according to the opponent's rules . After all, because of the interview with Deng Guoshun by Turkey TV, the audience already has a preconceived impression of this matter.
At this time, the more you explain, the more people will question you.
It would be better to do what Lu Yiming did and just overturn the table, replacing the question of whether Mingyuan Technology had stolen technology with the question of whether there are geniuses in this world.
Qi Fei sneered and said, "Boss Lu, from what you said, I think you are the genius?"
Lu Yiming, who originally just wanted to make money quietly and didn't intend to be in the spotlight, now had to step forward and take up the banner himself in order to deal with the public opinion crisis of Mingyuan Technology.
Lu Yiming looked at the microphone with a serious and earnest expression: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact. Some talents and wisdom are innate, and I can't do anything about it."
Looking at the confident smile on Lu Yiming's face, many people had the urge to rush up and punch Lu Yiming.
Is there anyone in this world who calls himself a genius?
How shameless this is.
However, Lu Yiming was also very melancholy in his heart. He didn't want to jump out so high-profile to attract hatred, but if he didn't do so, Mingyuan Technology's brand image would be ruined.
Even if the patent lawsuit is won in the end, it will definitely leave people with the image of a company as a "technology thief", and the negative impact of this incident may not be washed away for more than ten years.
So in order to avoid this situation, Lu Yiming could only jump out to attract hatred and pretend to be cool to protect the development of Mingyuan Technology.
"Let's go back to the USB flash drive itself. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. Although the USB flash drive is a new species, the technology used to make it is already mature. Edison said that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. But that 1% inspiration is more important than the 99% perspiration. I came up with this idea, and with the existing technology, it was natural to make the finished product quickly."
Lu Yiming then took out another document and said, "In addition, since you want me to present evidence, I can also satisfy everyone's curiosity. Before Mingyuan Technology was established, I found Mr. Zheng Youyuan with the design drawings and design concepts of the USB flash drive. This is the contract we signed at the time. There is an appendix on it. You can look at the time. This happened before the company was established."
"Look, I can produce whatever evidence you want. What about Deng Guoshun? What evidence can he produce except his mouth?"
However, just when everyone thought that everything had been settled, Qi Fei jumped out again and said meaningfully: "Mr. Lu, you are just a senior high school student and have no knowledge base in the semiconductor field. Mr. Deng Guoshun is backed by Amon Company, and the founder, Dover Amon, has already possessed two key technologies for flash drives. How do you explain this?"
Since he couldn't find any trouble with the technology itself, Qi Fei simply attacked Lu Yiming personally.
You say there are geniuses in this world, fine, I admit it, but geniuses should at least use logic, don’t you know what a semiconductor is? How can you invent something without knowing anything?
This is not called genius, this is called a god.
However, Lu Yiming smiled calmly and responded calmly: "I admit that Aimon Company is a pioneer in flash drive technology, but unfortunately times have changed. They now only have two related patents, while we at Mingyuan Technology have 200, covering almost every aspect of USB technology. When it comes to technology, I may not be as good as those experts, but as I said, I only provide that 1% of creativity, and as for technology, our company has a technical department dedicated to scientific research."
"In this world, I have only heard of bad students plagiarizing good students, but I have never heard of good students plagiarizing bad students. In terms of technological achievements alone, is Aimon Company qualified to accuse Mingyuan Technology of plagiarism?"
Lu Yiming's words were not polite at all, and there was even a hint of hostility between the lines.
But media reporters just like this. Otherwise, how can the topic become explosive?
Lu Yiming went on to say, "Although I don't understand technology, I understand products and user needs. USB technology is definitely not my destination. On the contrary, this little gadget is insignificant to me. I just made it for fun. In half a year, we at Mingyuan Technology will come up with another revolutionary product. By then, everything will be clear. Please stay tuned."
Lu Yiming spoke so confidently and casually that everyone couldn't help but be infected by this confident mood.
After all, we are all Xia people. Xia has been ahead in technology for thousands of years. Who doesn't have a little pride in their heart?
It’s just that in the past hundred years, everyone has been suppressed to the point where they can’t hold their heads up and have lost their self-confidence, but the desire to become stronger has always existed.
Today, Lu Yiming speaks impassionedly and dares to criticize foreign industry leaders. Putting aside the facts, this in itself is a very refreshing and inspiring thing.
Lu Yiming said that in half a year at most, Mingyuan Technology will once again come up with a revolutionary product, which has attracted everyone's curiosity and made everyone full of expectations.
Although Qi Fei wanted to find fault, he had to admit defeat when he saw that several of his questions that contained traps were easily resolved by Lu Yiming .
"Well, Mr. Lu, it seems that everyone really misunderstood you."
After the press conference, in a private room at the Marriott Hotel.
Lu Yiming personally hosted a banquet for Li Zixian and Qi Fei, and personally gave each of them a big red envelope: "You two have performed very well today, this is my small respect."
Qi Fei happily accepted the "writing fee" and was very respectful to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu is so polite. I didn't help much."
At this moment, his face was full of flattering expression. Where was the aggressive and confronting aura from before?
It turned out that Qi Fei was Li Zixian's high school classmate, and he was invited by her to come over this time specifically to play a double act with Lu Yiming. Instead of letting a stranger ask some sharp questions, it would be better to let Qi Fei ask the questions.
At least in this way, Lu Yiming can completely control the situation and rhythm, and will not be caught off guard by a surprise attack.
Facts have proved that this plan was quite successful. With the questions and answers from Qi Fei and Lu Yiming, the rhythm of the entire press conference was firmly controlled by Mingyuan Technology.
Soon, the newspapers were full of Lu Yiming's bold words. He not only reversed the public opinion that was unfavorable to Mingyuan Technology in one fell swoop, but also sparked a new topic.
First of all, there were constant reports that he had successfully started his own business from scratch while he was still in high school. Although it was not mentioned how much money he had specifically, the fact that Lu Yiming owned shares in companies such as Shijinji, Tongxin Internet Cafe and Jingyi Real Estate had already confirmed his identity as a business genius.
This move successfully attracted public attention and made Mingyuan Technology's patent lawsuit no longer receive attention.
At the same time, Lu Yiming also successfully gave Mingyuan Technology a good advertisement. Many people were curious about what kind of new product Mingyuan Technology would launch in half a year.
This product has become popular even before it goes on sale.
On the other hand, Deng Guoshun did not expect that Lu Yiming's counterattack would come so quickly, so loudly, and so sharp.
When he saw the overwhelming articles and the interviews broadcast on TV, he felt terrible.
In his opinion, this round of offensive launched by him and Amon Company would be enough to defeat Mingyuan Technology.
At that time, when Mingyuan Technology faced difficulties, it would have to ask Deng Guoshun for help. Then, he could take advantage of the situation to get the patent at a low price, and then cooperate with Aimon Company to firmly control all the rights and interests of the USB flash drive, sell the USB flash drive to the world, and make a fortune.
Who would have thought that wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Lu Yiming actually chose to hold a press conference, presenting evidence and reasoning, and refuted all his previous ideas.
What’s even more hateful is that Lu Yiming actually wants to sue him and get to the bottom of it.
This made Deng Guoshun panic.
When it comes to the law, it's not fun.
If Lu Yiming really does what he says, he will definitely be charged with defamation.
He picked up the phone, called Mr. Aimon, and urgently discussed countermeasures.
On the other end of the phone, Mr. Aimon did not expect that Lu Yiming would actually do this.
The blackmail and suppression of this great Eastern country by Western countries has been going on for a long time. They are familiar with all kinds of procedures and routines. And those companies that are suppressed by them will most likely be exploited by them, and even if they surrender, they will not end up well in the end.
What was the result? Although Lu Yiming was young, he had a very strong backbone and confronted them face to face. Not only did he respond positively, he also threatened to take legal action to defend his rights.
Amon has never seen this before.
After all, it is their nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Now seeing that Lu Yiming was so tough, Aimon's first thought was not to provoke this little lunatic.
Mr. Aimon also saw some reports. In the reports, Lu Yiming's target was still Deng Guoshun, and there was no mention of Aimon Company. Therefore, Mr. Aimon also had an idea soon. He said to Deng Guoshun: "Dear Deng, it's a pity that you are in such a situation now. The Lord once said that you should achieve success by your own ability, not by stealing and cheating. Our company has always been committed to respecting facts and unremitting exploration of science and technology. I still have a lot of things to do here, so I won't say more to you. Goodbye."
