The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 191: The Big Bullshit Situation (Subscribe)

The weather in the ice city is already very cool in early October. Two or three pieces of clothing are the clothing choice for many people when going out. There is no way to avoid the arrival of autumn.

On the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, in the teachers' dormitory building, at Wang Duoyu's home.

"Meili, when did you start dating?"

Wang Duoyu asked with a smile.

When he returned home for dinner in the evening, he unexpectedly heard such news, which surprised him very much.

Upon hearing this, Old Eleven spoke before her sister could say anything:
"Brother, you definitely don't know. She's even on guard against me. If I hadn't happened to see her when I took Xiaohong out today, I wouldn't have known she was dating someone."

"But brother, do you know who she's dating? He's an intern at Diao Pai Company. He's tall and strong, but I feel like he has shifty eyes and you can tell he's not a good person. He's been working there for six months and he's still an intern."

He has been an intern for half a year. Either he is not motivated or he is stupid. No matter which one he is, he is not a good person.

No wonder Wang Meihe would dislike it.

"Oh, a tall and strong man? Meili, what do you like about him? Is he handsome?" Wang Duoyu asked with a raised eyebrow.

It must be that appearance is justice. Regardless of gender, everyone is a visual animal. Men like beautiful women and women like handsome men.

"Oh, Brother Nine, don't worry about it. I will endure the hardship with him anyway."

Wang Meili spoke, but after Wang Duoyu heard it, his face darkened.

"He said all these to you? You've been brainwashed by him, haven't you? What does it mean to suffer with him?"

"The founding of New China was to enable the vast majority of working people to live a good life. Your partner is asking others to live a hard life, which goes against the will of the Party and the people. Is he trying to reverse history?"

it is good!
Upon hearing this, Old Eleven immediately applauded. She had been unable to refute her sister's words before, but she knew that her sister must have been fooled by her so-called boyfriend, but she just didn't know how to refute it.

Now her ninth brother's words were so enlightening. This was exactly what she wanted to say in her heart.

Wang Meili was immediately speechless and could only say in embarrassment:

"Oh, I can't argue with you, okay? You win."

"What do you mean I won? It's not that you can't argue with me, you clearly know that what you said is nonsense, you just don't want to admit it."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:
"Don't act so innocent. Just follow what Old Eleven said. I don't even need to see your boyfriend anymore. Break up with him as soon as possible. If you dare to disobey me, I have plenty of ways to make him leave you on his own initiative. Do you believe it?"

"Who is this guy, daring to set his sights on me? He doesn't even look at what kind of person he is, and he wants you to suffer with him? Are you crazy? If he keeps doing this every day, if you two really get married, he won't be able to support you two. Do you have to go out and beg for food?"

"Don't think you're still young. You're still in your rebellious teenage years."

"This matter ends here. If you don't take the initiative to cut off ties with him, Wang Meili, listen carefully. I'll help you. Do you understand clearly?"

It’s not that Wang Duoyu is making a fuss, but that he doesn’t want to help the poor.

If Wang Meili and her boyfriend had already started dating at the beginning of the year, and her boyfriend was actively working hard, then Wang Duoyu would have agreed to it to some extent.

But it is already October, and Wang Meili often goes in and out of the teachers' dormitory building. I guess many people know that she and Wang Duoyu are siblings. Moreover, she is so lazy and unmotivated. How could Wang Duoyu agree to it?
Hearing her brother's heartless words, Wang Meili's lips pursed and she burst into tears.

Wang Junhong, who was being held by her sister, saw this and started crying too.

Wang Junhong, who is almost ten months old, is already quite sensible. A few days ago, he was able to call dad and aunt.

Of course, when I shouted, it was not very accurate, just baba, gugu and so on.

So when he saw his aunt crying, he started crying too.

The little guy started crying, and the house was in chaos.

Wang Duoyu was still concerned about his sister's finding a partner. That night, after coaxing the little one, he went to Wu Congqin's house before returning to the teaching building to rest.

In fact, he should have gone to find Lu Jiaxi's wife Zhang Shuqin, but the latter had only been at Harbin Institute of Technology for a little over two years, while Wu Congqin's wife He Jiali had always been at Harbin Institute of Technology and was more familiar with the university.

However, Wang Duoyu is looking for a partner for his sister, so it is most appropriate to ask Wu Congqin and his wife to help.

"No problem, don't worry, Duoyu, just leave this matter to us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Congqin immediately patted his chest and agreed.

In the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, he could not help Wang Duoyu and was mainly responsible for completing logistical work, just like Liu Taoshun, the director of the Department of Information Science and Engineering.

In February and March of this year, when the Department of Computational Mathematics was split, Associate Professor Liu Taoshun was also assigned to the position of head of the Department of Information Science and Engineering.

Although Liu Taoshun was not qualified for the position of director of this department based on his qualifications and abilities, Wang Duoyu personally recommended him, so school leaders such as Liu Deben also attached great importance to him.

In other words, whether it is the Department of Mathematics or the Department of Information Science and Engineering, the real person in charge of these two departments is actually Wang Duoyu. A position like department head is actually more responsible for logistics.

Therefore, Wu Congqin was self-aware and certainly understood clearly what he should do.

Sharing Wang Duoyu's worries is also a logistical responsibility.

"Thank you, director!"

Wang Duoyu said seriously.

To be honest, this is his own private matter and he should solve it himself. However, he also knows that his sister is the youngest in the family and is indeed very favored.

So Wang Duoyu was really worried that Wang Meili would be too stubborn, so he cut the Gordian knot and arranged a marriage for her in advance to prevent her from being unwilling to give up.

Harbin Institute of Technology is a school of science and engineering. It has no shortage of men, and even less shortage of excellent men with good treatment. As for appearance, there is nothing to say.

If that didn't work, Wang Duoyu went directly to Lin Dehong and asked him to help introduce someone in the army.

In short, it will definitely satisfy Wang Meili and make her no longer have the "first love" filter for her current partner.

The next day is October 7th. Today is the examination day for the two major proof paper courses, the ABC conjecture and the Fermat conjecture, with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon respectively.

Wang Duoyu did not go to the lecture hall to supervise the exam. Since it was an open-book exam, he simply wrote out twenty long questions himself half an hour before the exam started and asked two of his students to help deliver them to him.

The morning exam was related to the paper proving the ABC conjecture, so the questions were also related to these.

Due to the large number of applicants, the exam was conducted in two lecture halls, so he gave out twenty questions, ten in each room, all different.

Moreover, everyone only knew the questions ten minutes before the exam, so there was no possibility of cheating.

Of course, they are all open-book exams, so the difficulty level is extremely exaggerated.

You can tell whether it is difficult or not by looking at the expressions of the students when they answer the questions.

The afternoon exam was about questions related to the Fermat conjecture paper. Wang Duoyu also gave the questions half an hour before the exam started, and it was an open-book exam.

What no one expected was that half an hour after Wang Duoyu finished giving the test questions, Charles Fefferman suddenly came to his door.

"Dear King, these questions you set are too difficult, aren't they? It took me 25 minutes to solve them. How long would it take you to do them yourself?"

Charles' words made Wang Duoyu speechless: This is a question for those students. Why are you, a Fields Medal winner, showing off your talent?
"Charles, is there something wrong?" Wang Duoyu didn't want to chat with the other party. Although the other party did not leave Harbin Institute of Technology, he did not agree to join the visiting scholar exchange group and stay in Harbin Institute of Technology.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu waited for the other party to think it over before making a decision. As for whether the other party came to discuss this matter with him today, was it important?

Not important at all!
Wang Duoyu is busy with his own things now, not proving the Navier-Stokes equations, but the honeycomb conjecture!

He just wanted to come up with some other "achievements" in the process to confuse the outside world.

Is the honeycomb hypothesis difficult?
Of course it is very difficult. It was proposed by the ancient Greek mathematician Pepos in the fourth century.

The graceful shape of the honeycomb represents the most efficient labor in nature. Pepos conjectured that this honeycomb with a hexagonal cross-section was built by bees using the least amount of beeswax. This led to a mathematical problem: finding the plane figure with the largest area and the smallest perimeter.

Pepos also tried to prove it at the time, but he only listed a comparison of three possible situations, using triangles, squares and hexagons as examples to separate a plane.

The reason why he chose these three regular polygons is simple, because only these three shapes can connect the arranged geometric patterns without gaps in between.

If there are gaps, foreign matter can enter these spaces and destroy the purity of the honeycomb.

Wang Duoyu has read a sentence written by Pepos in the book "The Wisdom of Bees": Compared with building other geometric shapes, the hexagonal honeycomb built by bees with the same material (beeswax) occupies more space than the quadrilateral and triangle, and can hold more honey.

But here's the question, is the hexagonal pattern the best way to partition a given area in a given plane, with the minimum required edge length?
Although a honeybee's cells are three-dimensional structures, each cell is uniform in orientation and perpendicular to the base of the hive.

Therefore, the hexagonal cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb is completely used to calculate the beeswax needed by bees to build cells, so the honeycomb conjecture that everyone is concerned about becomes a two-dimensional plane problem.

The problem seems to be how to let bees cover the entire floor of a spacious bathroom with tiles of a fixed shape.

The difficulty coefficient of the honeycomb conjecture is actually similar to that of the ABC conjecture, except that the former has existed for nearly two thousand years and has not yet been proven by mathematicians.

In terms of popularity, the honeycomb conjecture is also a very famous mathematical problem, but it is too difficult and has not been a hot topic in the mathematics community in recent years, so there has been no news about it.

In the reception area of ​​the office, Charles sat down. Seeing that Wang Duoyu did not answer his question, he had no choice but to say:
"You're so boring, God. Well, can I ask what project you're working on lately?"

Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes. Are they so familiar with each other?
Although we have known each other for a few years, we have only met a few times.

The first time they met was at a lecture at Peking University in 1979, but at that time they were just simple acquaintances. Wang Duoyu had a good memory and still remembered the other person.

Of course, Wang Duoyu was so impressed because the other party was a Fields Medal winner.

Otherwise, Wang Duoyu doesn't care who the other party is.

"I've been very busy lately. The lecture just ended, and now I have classes, seminars, projects, and so on. Plus, I'm supervising six students, as everyone knows. How can I have any free time?"

Spreading his hands, Wang Duoyu said helplessly:

"It's all tears if I talk too much. By the way, did you know that one of my students is researching the Demonic Group Moonlight Conjecture? Oh, you know about it too, right? What are your thoughts on this conjecture?"

Wang Duoyu also watched the news, and naturally he heard some of the things related to him reported by the outside world.

Charles is such a "proud" person, he might be paying close attention to Wang Duoyu. After all, he attended all three lectures and asked questions at each one.

“I don’t have any ideas.”

What Wang Duoyu didn't expect was that Charles actually spread his hands and said that he had studied the moonlight conjecture, but the difficulty coefficient was too high and it was almost impossible to prove.

The number of elements contained in the Monster Group exceeds 10 to the power of 53, which is 1000 times more than all the atoms on Earth.

Just this one item, wanting to construct the magic group and then prove the magic group moonlight conjecture, the difficulty coefficient is simply unimaginable.

"I'm more interested in partial differential equations, Fourier analysis, spectral analysis of fluid dynamics, etc. To be honest, I haven't studied the J function and the monster group in number theory much, and I don't think they are my areas of expertise."

After a pause, Charles suddenly said:
"Sometimes, I really want to ask you, how did you do it? You have made great achievements in several fields such as topology and number theory, and you have also done very in-depth research in fluid dynamics. How did you do it?"

Charles is already 32 years old, but Wang Duoyu is only 25 years old.

At next year's International Congress of Mathematicians, Wang Duoyu has basically secured a Fields Medal. By then, he will only be 26 years old, which is really too young.

It’s not just that Wang Duoyu is young, but his research in many branches of mathematics is also very in-depth, and he is almost omnipotent.

So invincible!

“We are all geniuses!”

Wang Duoyu said this seriously, and Charles fell silent.

The latter has always considered himself a genius and a child prodigy since childhood, but now he was almost broken down by Wang Duoyu.

Compared to Wang Duoyu, he is nothing but a genius.

Forget it, I won’t bother myself anymore!
Charles suddenly said seriously:

"Dear Wang, I promise you, I will study at Harbin Institute of Technology for half a year and participate in your computational fluid dynamics project and seminar."

"Great, welcome!" Wang Duoyu said happily upon hearing this:

"Many people have been asking me to deduce a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations. To be honest, I don't have much confidence, but if you can join us, we might actually be able to gain something."

Proving the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is a very good thing for all mankind. This proof has an immediate effect and can be immediately applied in reality.

The Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional manifolds, that is, the weak solutions of this equation, have been proven, but not for three-dimensional ones.

Once the strong solution is proven, scientists can accurately predict the flow state at any point in time from the initial state. The practical significance of this is extremely strong.

Nevertheless, the Navier-Stokes equations provide a useful model of turbulence because molecules are so small that turbulent eddies a few millimeters wide already embody many of the characteristics of turbulence, and molecules are much smaller than this, so the continuum model still applies.

"Yes, I've tried to prove it. But the main problem posed by turbulence is practical: it makes the Navier-Stokes equations almost impossible to solve numerically, because computers can't handle the infinitely complex calculations."

After hearing what Charles said, Wang Duoyu was thinking about whether he should talk to him about the singularity energy gradient theory.

But he quickly rejected this idea and followed the other party's words, writing on the paper while saying:
"Numerical solutions of partial differential equations use grids to divide space into discrete regions and time into discrete time periods"

"To capture the various scales at which turbulence occurs—large eddies, meso-eddies, and so on, all the way down to millimeter-scale eddies—we need an impossibly fine grid. But is there no other way?"

Charles looked thoughtful, but Wang Duoyu didn't hesitate and said immediately:
"We can use a statistical model of turbulence, this model."

This is why the computational fluid dynamics simulation software technology development project is so important.

On the one hand, computer technology will continue to develop, and Harbin Institute of Technology has now established the Department of Information Science and Engineering, and has also recruited a large number of undergraduate talents since this year.

After this group of talents graduates, Harbin Institute of Technology will continue to add more scientific research projects to retain the outstanding graduates.

On the other hand, scientific research projects related to computing technologies such as lithography machines, memory, and chips have taken root in Harbin Institute of Technology.

Then, when computer hardware technology develops, it can also be fed back into the computational fluid dynamics simulation software project, promoting faster development of this project.

After chatting with Charles for about two hours, Wang Duoyu took the initiative to end the conversation.

Since continuing the discussion will not produce any results, it is better for each of us to calculate separately.

For Charles, the gains were enormous, and it also made him feel that staying at HIT might be the right choice.

It's possible he could win another Fields Medal before he turns 40. In the United States, Seagate's marketing director, Jim Burton, brought a batch of newly produced optical disk storage products to the market.

"Mark, this is our company's newest product. Please help us put it on the shelf. The price is $9,000 each."

Mark Chambers was shocked when he heard this.

Nine thousand dollars each?
After he understood the product clearly, he was stunned:
"Your product is the same as Huashun Company's."

At the end of last year, Huashun successfully launched its first optical disc storage product: a one-time read-write optical disc storage with a storage capacity of 650MB and a market price of US$9,999.

But now, Seagate has also come up with an optical disc storage device, which is also a one-time read-write optical disc storage device with a storage capacity of 700MB, but the price is only US$.

Isn't this blatantly going against Huashun Company?

"Have you obtained the patent authorization from Huashun Company?"

At this time, Mark Chambers had a very interesting expression. He stared at Jim Burton in front of him in amazement and asked in surprise.

As the boss of the market, he is the agent for selling various computer-related products such as memory, so he is naturally very clear about the market trends.

In the field of memory, before the first half of this year, IBM was still a well-deserved giant, but after the second half of the year, Huashun Company's optical disk memory counterattacked and became the best-selling product in the market.

Regardless of price or storage capacity, Huashun's one-time read-write optical disc storage is very impressive and cannot be compared with IBM and Seagate.

Of course, there are also many people who do not have such a large budget, so they will choose Seagate's ST506 hard drive.

There are also many customers who choose IBM3380. Although this product is expensive, it is expensive for a reason. Moreover, IBM's bundling sales strategy makes it difficult for many customers to choose it.

There are countermeasures to every policy, and many of IBM's customers are representatives of lip service and double-dealing.

On the surface, they continued to purchase IBM3380, but secretly they purchased a lot of CD-ROM storage from Huashun Company because they were affordable and had large capacity.

Otherwise, Huashun Company's CD-ROM storage sales would not have been so high, making it the darling of the market in the second half of the year.

But now Seagate has come up with the same type of optical disc storage. If it has obtained the patent, then it is not difficult to deal with. If not, then there will be some interesting news to watch.

Jim Burton said angrily:

"Fuck, this is bullshit, Mark, look carefully, this is Seagate's latest technology product, the ST699, which our company spent two years developing."

Mark Chambers reacted immediately after hearing this. He smiled and tried to please, but at the same time he was complaining in his heart.

Then, when it comes to profit, Mark Chambers was really ruthless and directly asked the other party to sell it to him for $5,000, otherwise he would not be the agent of this product.

They did not obtain Huashun Company's patent, but directly sold the other company's CD storage products. Don't talk about the 700MB storage capacity. How much water is there in it? They can fool others, but they can never fool Mark.

Since he has to take the risk of offending Huashun Company, then he must give Mark some concessions, right?
Hearing the other party's exorbitant words, Jim Burton's face instantly darkened:

"Oh my God, Mark, are you crazy? Do you know that I only need one word to make you forget about this market?"

Mark Chambers was not easily frightened and immediately refuted.

The two sides engaged in intense "negotiations" on the profit issue, and it took a long time before it was finalized.

Jim Burton gave Mark Chambers a discount of $2,800 per CD-ROM drive, but the latter had to take away thirty CD-ROM drives.

This is not a small amount of money. After all, the price Mark Chambers paid for each CD storage device from the other party is $6200. If there are thirty of them, that would be $.

If it can't be sold, Mark Chambers will lose a lot of money.

Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk; there is no other way around it.

For the sake of profit, Mark Chambers has to fight.

A few days later, the same type of CD storage appeared on the market and was quickly discovered by Huashun Company.

This news was passed back to Harbin Institute of Technology. At the same time, Huashun Company personnel in the United States also entered to investigate and brought Seagate's ST699 product back to Harbin Institute of Technology.

On October 10th, a meeting was underway in the conference room of Huashun Company next to Harbin Institute of Technology.

This was an unprecedented crisis. Seagate was too presumptuous. It simply made some random designs and "appropriated" Huashun's optical disc storage as its own product.

At the U.S. Patent Office, Huashun Company also saw Seagate's patent application. Although it had just been submitted, strangely enough, it passed the preliminary review very quickly.

It’s simply outrageous!
Seagate's ST699 optical disc storage is obviously a product of Huashun Company. They are blatantly disregarding patent rights.

After attending the meeting, Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang and others had only one request: that this product be removed from the shelves immediately!
Wang Duoyu learned about this from Han Jue the next day, at noon on the 11th.

After hearing about this, Wang Duoyu went to the secretary's office, found Liu Deben, and told him his suggestion:
"Secretary, you are aiding and abetting evil. How can we just ask them to remove the product from the shelves? That's too easy, isn't it? Others still think we are weak and can be bullied. We must teach them a lesson."

In May of this year, Kishimoto Battery Company infringed on Diao Pai Company's lead-acid battery patent and shamelessly produced and sold its own batteries without obtaining Diao Pai Company's patent.

This behavior completely disregards market rules.

Now Seagate has come along. What’s going on? Have these foreign companies lost their shame?
Seeing that there is profit to be made, they rush in and rob people openly, right?
"We must demand $500 million in compensation from Seagate. The larger the amount, the better. We should sue them directly in court, just like we did with the Kishimoto Battery case. We should also notify the media."

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Liu Deben sighed and said:

"Duoyu, you are still too young. We have to consider the overall situation. The relationship between the United States and us is pretty good right now. If you do this, it will easily lead to something big."

We are now in the honeymoon period. If Huashun Company takes the initiative to cause trouble at this time, it will easily become the target of public criticism and affect the trade relationship between the two parties. This is not what the higher-ups want to see.

Wang Duoyu scoffed:
"To be disrespectful, Secretary, you are old and afraid of everything. How can you accomplish anything? If we are afraid of everything, why would we open a company? We can just give our profits to others."

"What are you afraid of? If we give in this time, they will bully us next time. Anyway, you can tolerate it, but I can't. What's the overall situation? If we have to tolerate even this, then the overall situation is for nothing."

"We have stood up since 1949. Secretary, you want me to grovel now? I'm sorry, I can't do it!"

"If you really want to endure this, Secretary, I'll write you a letter of resignation and you can quit this job!"

If he started his own private business, he might have more freedom instead of being restricted like he is now!
When Liu Deben heard this, his face changed drastically and he hurried to comfort Wang Duoyu.

But the latter simply wouldn't listen and asked him to consider the overall situation?

Damn the overall situation!

After saying that, Wang Duoyu left the office without staying to listen to the other party's nonsense.

Watching Wang Duoyu leave, Liu Deben sighed helplessly. What was going on?

In the mathematics department teaching building, in the lecture hall, classes are in progress.

In order to make money and also to attract more people to stay at HIT, Wang Duoyu personally taught classes to explain the ABC conjecture paper and Fermat's Last Theorem.

The two papers cover similar branches of mathematics, but the contents are very different.

In the classroom, all the students listened very attentively.

Yang Nianzhen, Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu were also in the classroom attending the class. Yorks and Bochers did not come to the classroom to attend the class because they were also very busy.

Among the foreigners attending the class in the classroom, fifty-nine people were particularly conspicuous, including one named Maksim Kontsevich.

Wang Duoyu never expected that Maxim was actually recruited by the KGB. Although he didn't know the specific situation, since the other party stayed in the classroom, it proved that his guess was correct.

This guy was born in 1964 and is only seventeen years old this year. He is just a freshman at Moscow University.

But the fact that he was able to come to Harbin Institute of Technology to attend the lecture and successfully stay there is enough to prove that this guy's mathematical talent is not simple.

After the course, Wang Duoyu took the opportunity to chat briefly with Maxim when he came to ask questions.

"You're quite talented, but you shouldn't waste your time. I see you have quite a few unique insights into fields like topological field theory and geometric space. If you're interested, you can research these areas in your spare time. Who knows, you might be the next Fields Medalist."

If it were anyone else who was painting a rosy picture for a 17-year-old young man, Maxim would definitely not listen to a single word he said, because he is a genius, how could he be fooled so easily?
But if the person in front of him is Wang Duoyu, then everything will be very different.

Although Wang Duoyu himself has not won a Fields Medal, it does not affect his status in the global mathematics community at all. Even in Maxim's heart, Wang Duoyu winning the Fields Medal is the glory of this award.

"Hmm, do you really think I have a talent for this? If I encounter any problems, can I ask you for advice?"

Maxim is now a complete little fanboy, looking at Wang Duoyu with great admiration.

"Okay, if I happen to have time, I wish you success." Wang Duoyu said with a smile, then turned and left the classroom.

Maxim was so encouraged that he jumped up with joy.

When the other people in the classroom saw this scene, their back teeth were broken.

They are both students, so why does Wang Duoyu look at Maxim differently?

Does Wang Duoyu really plan to continue accepting students?

Yang Nianzhen and the other three were also thoughtful when they saw this scene, but they did not get Wang Duoyu's instructions, so they naturally would not easily show goodwill to Maxim.

Wang Duoyu is not sure whether to show goodwill or not. If Maxim is willing to continue staying in Harbin Institute of Technology, then he certainly doesn't mind giving Maxim a push.

While Wang Duoyu was busy, Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao in Baiyun City had already brought large and small packages of goods back to the capital.

They found distributors in Beijing and asked them to help sell those products.

In addition to electronic watches, the products shipped from Baiyun City also include trendy shoes, clothes, etc. These things are relatively cheap in Baiyun City, but relatively expensive in Beijing.

Following Wang Duoyu's advice, they planned to expand into multiple areas in the capital and make their business bigger and stronger.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely earn more than 10,000 yuan before the Spring Festival.

When they were hanging out at the Ice City Railway Station, they felt it was difficult to earn even a dollar.

But now, they earn at least four to five thousand yuan every half a month. In addition to sharing with Wang Duoyu, they each get more than one thousand yuan.

The reform and opening-up policy has been implemented for many years, but there are not many people who actually go into business, and the big wave has only created a small ripple.

Across the Pacific Ocean in the United States, the San Francisco Chronicle reported a news story about Seagate being sued by Huashun Company. In just a few days, it became the hottest headline news in California, without a doubt.

As a newcomer in the computer industry, Seagate's ST506 hard drive has taken a lot of market share from IBM's 3380 product.

But no one expected that the next time we saw the news about it, it was because it had flouted patent laws and blatantly stolen Huashun Company's patented products and put them on the shelves.

Shameless!

"Houlixiete, this Huashun company is actually from a big Eastern country? How dare they sue our country's high-tech company in court? How could they possibly develop optical disk storage?"

"Oh my God, this is crazy! Although I've used CD-ROMs before, I always thought they were a product of our country. I didn't expect it to be from a great Eastern country."

"Unbelievable! Huashun, a giant company from the East, is so aggressive that they actually dared to sue Seagate. This is going to be a good show."

"I support Huashun's decision. Seagate is shameless for stealing the fruits of others' labor."

Many people had different reactions after seeing the news.

But there is no doubt that this is the first time that Huashun Company has appeared among ordinary people in the United States.

Although this appearance was not a good thing, as a victim, he still received a lot of praise.

After learning about Huashun Company's optical disc storage, some people exclaimed in disbelief.

IBM only launched the IBM3380, but Huashun was able to come up with a CD-ROM storage device. Moreover, this company actually came from a technologically barren Eastern country, which was simply incredible.

While the entire United States was in an uproar over the memory patent infringement bill, at Seagate headquarters, the faces of the senior executives in the conference room were as gloomy as water.

"Is this what you meant by Huashun Company admitting defeat? They've already hired Jones Day, the most renowned legal team in the United States, to handle this case. Do you think we're sure to win?"

Code Mac, one of Seagate's executives, asked jokingly with a deadpan expression.

Back then in this conference room, when everyone agreed to bypass Huashun's optical disc storage patent, Codemac raised objections, but he was in the minority, so he was ignored.

"Hua Shun Company demanded that we immediately remove ST699 from the shelves and also demanded a billion US dollars in compensation. With such a large sum, and the fact that Jones Day is a bunch of savages, they must have an agreement with Hua Shun Company."

If there is no agreement, there is no profit to be gained. How could the profit-seeking villains at Jones Day Law Firm take on such a case?

In the United States, lawyers and doctors are one of the elite groups and are the jobs that many ordinary people most want to get.

But what these so-called elites usually do is not an easy job.

Profit-seeking is just their survival code.

Seagate was established not long ago and does not have much money, so it is unlikely to win the lawsuit.

Give up?
I am extremely unwilling to do so, but now I am in a difficult situation.

what can we do about it?

At Huashun Company's headquarters in the United States, a group of people are negotiating with representatives from Jones Day Law Firm. They are planning how to resolve the matter more quickly.

Patent infringement cases come in all sizes, but this one is clearly a major one.

The five barristers from Jones Day Law Firm put aside other cases and devoted all their efforts to helping Huashun Company resolve this matter.

This firm is well-known throughout the United States. Although the laws in each state are different, the patent laws are generally similar.

After studying the entire case, Jones Day Law Firm planned to sue Seagate in the California state court, and there was no need to go to the federal court.

In order to resolve the case quickly, the five barristers have not slept for two days and two nights.
