My Son, You Just Entered Elementary School, How Can You Become The Richest Person?

NPE, the full name is Non-Practicing Entities, the Chinese name is called, non-patent operating entity.

You can tell from the name.

This kind of company, institution or individual mainly deals with only one thing.

Patent.

However, it is completely different from ordinary scientific research companies that invest a lot of energy in the production of invention patents.

The company itself is not responsible for the production of registered patents.

It's just a patent pit.

They have a resounding name.

Patent trolls.

Or, patent pirates.

They specialize in extorting large and world-renowned companies by sending lawyers' letters.

At least Gu Xiu knew.

The technology companies that can be named have basically been poisoned by NPE.

Later generations of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Huawei, Samsung...

Basically, there is no one.

They have all paid at least 10 million meters of funds to NPE-type institutions.

for peace.

Of course, this is not to say that NPE is illegal and criminal, in fact, NPE itself is a reasonable and legal existence, not even a gray area.

The result is that, often legally, they are basically on their side.

So.

They are patent pirates, but they are legitimate patent pirates.

Gu Xiu was plagiarized and imitated by overseas game companies, but he was helpless.

Unintentionally.

I thought of something more advanced, more high-end, and even more legal about NPE.

He also began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

As he learned about the current situation of NPE institutions, Gu Xiu was surprised to find that NPE, an industry that had basically been occupied by later generations

In today's era, there is unprecedented room for development.

Although there are still people who do this kind of business today.

But apparently.

Most NPEs are still very primitive in their way of making money, and they don't even have a lot of skills in it.

In Gu Xiu's opinion, these people are simply wasting the patents in their hands.

Actually, speaking of which.

The model of NPE is actually very simple, and it can even be said that there is hardly any technical difficulty, and even the logic in it can be said to be simple and outrageous.

To put it simply, it is to acquire a patent and then wait for someone else to infringe it.

Then, a lawyer's letter is sent to the infringing company.

Generally speaking, it is actually a large porcelain company.

Because often they will make sky-high claims, and in the end, the two sides will bargain with each other, and finally get a considerable profit.

Of course.

This is actually the most basic.

In practice, it is naturally not so simple, first of all, the acquisition of patents, if you want to buy a low price, but also a very large number of patents, which itself requires a certain ability and opportunity.

Secondly, there is the choice of objects.

The object of choice must be the kind of company with huge money, and only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

But there's a problem with that.

Appeals take time, and cross-border appeals can take three or five years, especially for these large enterprises with strong strength.

The legal department can drag you until you die.

So in addition to the choice of goals, the choice of timing is also very important.

Often, when NPE institutions start to go under the knife, they will choose the critical period of some large enterprises, such as new product releases, company listings, or when it is critical.

Because these times can greatly affect the normal business of the target company.

Especially some tech companies with new product launches.

It is even possible to limit the time of its new products.

Postponement of listing.

This is also the reason why, in the previous life, whether it was a large company like Apple or Microsoft, many times they had to pinch their noses and pay sky-high compensation.

The more he thought about this, the more Gu Xiu felt.

This can be done!

Because what can be earned is not short-term benefits, but long-term benefits, and even after ten or twenty years, it can still continue to make profits.

Even.

The further you go, the more money you can make.

But....

"It is very difficult to achieve profitability in the short term, and you need a good project and good timing."

"And."

"It also takes time and money to acquire patents, and I want to engage in this to obtain ammunition and support the three-body game, it is more realistic to expect the three-body game to make money."

Gu Xiu was helpless.

Going around and around, and finally the problem came back around.

Lack of money!

In fact, most of the patents acquired by NPEs are acquired by technology companies that are in good business conditions or are about to go bankrupt.

The cost of these patents is basically an ultra-low price.

As long as the opportunity is right, the money required is not high, and it can even be said to be very cheap.

But no matter how cheap it is, it also costs money.

Moreover, to engage in NPE, what is needed is a long-term patent acquisition, and the fatal blow of waiting for the opportunity, which means that this thing needs long-term patent acquisition in order to obtain high returns.

Want to make a quick buck in the short term.

Hardly possible.

But....

This thing Gu Xiu seems to be unable to interfere in the short term, but NPE is still the same, and it is included in Gu Xiu's to-do list.

Purchase of patents.

Or even buying a large number of patents.

Not to mention how high the return can be for Gu Xiu in the future, at least those patents are in his hands, what he can do in the future.

And that's more!

What's more, in this era when the Internet began to explode, many former aristocratic enterprises have also begun to decline.

Some are still dying, and some are already dead.

And the patents they hold in their hands will also be slowly eaten away by others.

Right now.

It is the best time to buy patents!

This thing is very promising!

However, no matter how promising it is, it seems that at least for a short time, it can only be included in Gu Xiu's to-do list, after all, it is a top priority at the moment.

Or a question of funding.

And just when Gu Xiu was distressed by this.

Gu Xiu, who was browsing the news on the Internet, accidentally saw a message.

News related to yourself.

"Uncle Gu's garbage song is taking the campus by storm! "

Huh?"

Gu Xiu was a little surprised.

Uncle Gu's vest has been useless for a long time, and after it disappeared last year, the name Uncle Gu is rarely seen on the Internet again.

After all, there are many talents in the music scene, and a generation of new people replaces the old.

A songwriter who hasn't shown his face and has only written a few songs has a limited amount of time to attract attention.

Even Uncle Gu's vest is the same.

From the most popular time last year, Uncle Gu's voice was very high, and the three words Uncle Gu were overwhelming on the Internet and in newspapers.

But after he completely broke out of the circle, the name Uncle Gu was basically rarely heard.

I didn't expect to see this name at this time.

Click on it and take a look, the content is fried cold rice.

is talking about the three garbage songs that Uncle Gu wrote for the Three Sisters of the Universe before, and now they are becoming popular on various campuses.

Many students are learning these three songs, and even many performances will be accompanied by these three songs.

It can be said that the fire is a little difficult to understand.

For this reason, some so-called musicians have begun to spray on the Internet again.

After all, Uncle Gu has disappeared for so long, and he has passed the limelight, so now he sprays and criticizes.

There doesn't seem to be a problem either.

However, they obviously underestimated the power of Uncle Gu's fans, and this kind of fried cold rice remarks immediately caused a scolding war on the Internet.

Gu Xiu had seen these things in his eyes before, and he didn't care much about them.

After all, there were quite a few similar quarrels last year.

It's no wonder.

But this time, seeing such a quarrel again, Gu Xiu suddenly thought of it.

I seem...

Leaving a way to make money at the beginning!

There is no money now.

Isn't it possible to get started?
