Chapter 653 Ease the relationship
Forbes is translated as Forbes in Taiwan, which means wealth is comparable to the country. It is consistent with the purpose of FRBe, and is the best translation solution for combining sound and meaning. It is translated as Forbes in mainland China. Forbes magazine has always been famous for its bold predictions. In the city assessment report for the next 21st century recently, it predicts that the top ten super cities in the world in 2015, including the Sea of China, Tokyo, Japan and Mumbai, India. The report also predicts that in two years, imbalance in population growth, natural disasters, climate warming and urbanization will lead to the transformation of famous cities such as San Francisco in the United States and Venice in Italy into dead cities.
Forbes magazine's forward-looking reports guide investment direction and provide business opportunities for senior corporate decision makers. They are hailed as the barometer of the US economy. The commentary articles about companies and company operators published in each issue are concise in language and original content. They focus on describing the way of thinking of corporate elites, without stopping in reporting on news facts, focusing on understanding the news background, grasping dynamic information and industry trends, and in-depth discussion and research on the economic environment of corporate operations.
In the more than 80 years since its establishment, Forbes has gradually established its own unique style in the continuous search of the business field, and gradually developed and grew into a well-known international mainstream financial media group. The ranking of wealthy people it created can attract global attention every year, and the group's total assets have exceeded one billion US dollars. Three generations of the Forbes family have created a miracle of winning the world with a magazine, and celebrities from all walks of life are also proud of the ranking of Forbes.
Fan Wubing asked Fan Ting casually, "How much does it cost to enter the top fifty Forbes at present?"
"Are you a little stingy in the top fifty? Why do you have to the top ten?" Fan Ting replied with a smile.
"Ha" Fan Wubing patted his head and said, "It seems that if I don't give my future nephew a hundred and eight billion US dollars to serve as a meeting gift, I can't even think of this second uncle."
After seeing that the time was almost over, Fan Wubing drove straight to the agreed location, and then accompanied by staff from the General Office of the Chief, he changed to the General Office of the General Office, passed through the guard area, and came to the office where the Chief received guests.
Generally, if it is a more formal meeting, someone will choose to accompany you in the small conference room. However, it is obvious that in order to show his kindness to Fan Wubing, the leader arranged it to his office, which looks more intimate and no one will feel restricted.
Fan Wubing sat in the office for five minutes, and the chief came over with the general director. There were only three people in total, but there were not even the guards.
But thinking about it is true that if Fan Wubing wants to do anything, it would be useless to have twenty or thirty guards, but on the other hand, if something really happens here, as long as Fan Wubing is present, the crisis can be resolved to the minimum extent. After all, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the name of a master of a generation are not called out for nothing, and the strength of killing two Japanese devils with one punch is not blown out.
Because time is precious, the chief decided to go straight to the point, and Fan Wubing didn't. He thought about going around more circles, and after a few polite words, the chief raised his own question, "I heard you say on the phone that maybe you discovered the US conspiracy?"
"It's very convenient to say on the phone." Fan Wubing told what he knew and then analyzed, "According to the current data, b is actually an organization formed by Microsoft. It comes to mainland China under the banner of the International Commercial Software Alliance to cheat, so it is still very confusing. As far as I know, when domestic scholars talk about piracy, many places in the data quoted the data provided by b, which is a big problem."
When the leader heard Fan Wubing's words, he immediately understood. He was also very experienced in economic development at first. He knew that if the statistics were incorrect, it would have a serious impact on the entire analysis and policy judgment. Therefore, he asked, "Is the data very different?"
"That's quite large." Fan Wubing took out the actual data that he brought with him, and the investigation of an authoritative foreign organization provided by Jiang Tong, and then took out the data provided by b for reference by the head.
After the leader got the hands, he compared the two and found that the gap between the data was dozens of times. Obviously, there was a big problem with the data of b. Moreover, he also looked at the composition structure of b and knew it in his mind.
"It seems that this B is really a thug from Microsoft." The leader nodded, then turned his head and asked the General Office Director, "I'll talk to Wubing. You go and verify it. During the negotiations, are these data quoted b's statement?"
The General Office Director agreed and immediately took the two documents and left.
Then the leader said to another accompanying staff, "Go and get some food. You didn't eat enough at the banquet just now. After thinking about the problem, I was hungry."
"Okay, make some snacks or rice?" asked the accompanying staff.
"Rice, the dishes are the same, make them lighter. Well, you can also get a fish-flavored shredded pork, so let Mr. Fan eat some at the same time." The leader said after thinking for a while.
The staff took the notes and left.
There were only two men left in the room, including the chief and Fan Wubing. At this time, the chief said to Fan Wubing with a smile, "This news is more important. At present, the negotiation of intellectual property rights is very tight. If the other party tampers with the data side, it would be too much."
Since the mid-1980s, Sino-US economic and trade relations have developed rapidly, but at the same time, the dispute over intellectual property rights between China and the United States has become increasingly fierce. Before the establishment of the WTO, the legal basis for the Sino-US intellectual property dispute was Article 301 of the US Trade Act, commonly known as "Section 301", and there were three disputes involving "Section 301".
The latest dispute was three years ago, when the U.S. Trade Representative once again identified China as the only key country that year, the reason was that China did not conscientiously implement the 1995 Sino-US intellectual property agreement and had problems in intellectual property protection and related market access.
However, just before the US trade sanctions came into effect, China and the United States reached a third intellectual property agreement. At the same time, the US Trade Representative announced that China would cancel the list of key countries and terminate the trade sanctions against China based on the measures that China has taken and the measures it will take to implement the 1995 China-US intellectual property agreement.
"Since the 1970s, the new technological revolution guided by information and biotechnology has made the production link no longer limited to one country or region, but distributed on a global scale, which has provided good opportunities for the economic development of many developing countries and gradually weakened the United States' dominance in the global economy and trade. The domestic industries of the United States have thus felt huge competitive pressure, and the US government has gradually realized that technology and technology are the biggest competitive advantages of American companies, and has begun to set up and implement new trade barriers, such as anti-dumping, technical trade barriers, intellectual property rights, etc., and regard intellectual property strategies as part of their national strategy." The head of the country said to Fan Wubing, "The United States' intellectual property protection is not fair. It implements an intellectual property policy that innovation is ahead of protection at home and competition is better than monopoly. However, it unilaterally emphasizes intellectual property protection internationally, ignores international public interests, unilaterally emphasizes the identity of the intellectual property protection system, and ignores the own interests of each country."
Fan Wubing nodded and said that in this Sino-US intellectual property dispute, the United States, despite the huge progress made in intellectual property protection in China, accused China of serious piracy and counterfeiting, which reminds people of the United States being one of the most serious piracy countries in the world.
Ten years ago, the United States refused to sign the "Berne Convention on the Protection of Literature and Art Works". This was not because the United States had a weak awareness of protecting intellectual property rights, but because the development of the publishing industry at that time was far inferior to that of European countries such as Britain and France, and the accession to the "Berne Convention" was not conducive to protecting its own economic interests.
At that time, in order to compete with the "Berne Convention" and protect the interests of domestic publishers, the United States even concluded the "Copyright Convention of Inter-American Countries" with some American countries. The level of protection of the convention is low, especially stipulating that works must meet certain conditions to obtain protection. The United States' argument made piracy in its country more rampant. At that time, the Christmas Carol written by Dickens sold for 2.5 US dollars in the United States, while in the United States, due to a large amount of piracy, it sold for only six cents.
The head of the head continued, "The purpose of protecting intellectual property is to promote and safeguard scientific and technological progress and social, economic and cultural development. This means that when establishing its intellectual property system, a country or region needs to consider how to achieve the best balance between protecting the exclusive rights of the right holder and facilitating the dissemination and application of knowledge, and not to ignore the other and be neglected. Excessive protection of intellectual property rights is not only unfavorable to economic development, but also worsens the conditions for innovation, forcing innovators to devote their energy to avoid stepping on infringing "landmines" rather than innovation. At present, some American entrepreneurs have also pointed out that the US Patent Office's policy of issuing patent licenses is too loose, and even "idiots" can obtain patents because of something that cannot be called patents, which has caused many domestic American companies to flee due to continuous patent disputes."
Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "It's true."
However, when Fan Wubing heard that the chief was so clear about the issue of intellectual property rights, he felt a little surprised. He usually thought it was easy to be a leader, but now it doesn’t seem to be an easy thing.
The two of them chatted for a while and felt that they were very speculative. Naturally, no one would be so stupid as to mention the matter of Hai. There is only one thing that everyone knows, and there is no need to say it out, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.
