Chapter 67: Clichés

The principle of 'an innocent man is guilty of his crime' is a concept left over by our ancestors more than two thousand years ago. Do you really think this beacon of freedom and democracy can have any different place?

Patent rights are nominally to protect the income of inventors, but in reality, they are just a legal weapon for large enterprises to build technical barriers and ensure profits.

Look at that century-old war between Edison and Tesla, direct current and alternating current.

Jiang Wanmeng, the inventor of the VCD player, looked at the world-class big cake, and in the end, could only sigh.

The inventor of the QR code, Japanese engineer Masahiro Hara, watched helplessly as the patent rights expired, and only then did this thing become popular and widely used by people.

Believe it or not, if Henry takes the full set of technical specifications of DVD+R and DVD-R to register a patent today, tomorrow Philips and Toshiba will join hands to promote the technical specifications of DVD/R.

Just like in the future new energy war, Japan registered almost all the core technologies of hydrogen batteries, building a solid patent barrier. Then the whole world stopped playing with hydrogen batteries, it's the same meaning.

Really f***ing think that hydrogen battery explosion is very dangerous, and the fire burned by lithium batteries is relatively small?

So the idea of registering one or two core patents and wanting to lie down and make money is fundamentally unrealistic. If you want to take this path, the book title can be changed to 'Marvel Kryptonian's Business Empire', and then spend the whole day using fists to beat competitors...

Forget it. The American Dream is really so easy to do. Don't know what 'survivorship bias' is.

Those that can be left behind and recorded are some beautiful things. Because those that are miserable don't even have the chance to be known by people, and disappear into the bottom of some ditch.

Compared to Henry's cognition, Tony Stark's change is even more shocking.

It is said that vision determines a person's height, and some people think that Iron Man is not as good as Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe worldview, just bullying Tony for not having seen high technology from outer space.

In the original Tony Stark's world, he didn't realize the things behind patent rights at all, because no one told him, and it wasn't something he could see daily.

The service of group lawyers is as natural and ordinary to him as sunlight, air, and water.

Once someone breaks that layer of window paper, his genius brain can naturally judge the truth and falsehood of these things.

It's just... emotions and right and wrong don't have a direct connection. Even sometimes, the right answer makes people even angrier. Tony Stark is in such a situation now.

He looked at this little assistant who was stuffing his mouth with food with dissatisfaction and said: "Are you trying to say that the life I have today is all brought by the surname Stark?"

Henry laughed: "Otherwise, big young master. You wouldn't think that only getting pocket money from your parents counts as taking money from home. Entering Stark Industries and directly serving as executive CEO or some senior minister counts as receiving help from your parents.

"Besides, you can borrow an active battleship from the Department of Defense in Hollywood to pick up girls, you wouldn't say that being able to borrow that ship from the Department of Defense is relying on your own face. Uh-huh, Tony Stark."

Tony didn't want to deceive himself on the definition problem, he directly asked: "Then how do you think I should achieve true self-made? Strip naked, walk out with a bare ass and start from begging?"

"No, of course not. Just think your idea is stupid. You might as well save your IQ in the bank and truly start from zero."

"Wanting to criticize a genius brain as stupid, you'd better have enough reasons." Tony was still dissatisfied and questioned.

Henry said: "Carl Lewis wouldn't think his athletic talent is a mistake. But without professional training, he couldn't shine on the international stage and break world records repeatedly.

"President FDR didn't rely on his polio-stricken body to make the United States a member of the victorious camp in World War II with his own strength.

"What I want to say is, what kind of power you possess is not a shameful thing. How you use it, these behaviors and results determine whether you honor yourself or bring shame to yourself."

"Hahaha, what should I say. What a bunch of clichés." How Tony, who had no expression, felt inside, there was no way to know. But his tone carried disdain.

This young master looked at the person in front of him with disgust and said: "You hide here and be a little assistant, what's the point? Is it interesting."

Laughing awkwardly, Henry said: "If you ask me, even if you are mediocre, it's fine. Taking money from home, driving sports cars, picking up girls, whatever, at least that's not doing bad things.

"And you know the flow theory of economics, money has to flow to be money. You put it in a safe, leave it in a bank account, it's just a number. So you spend it, it's also right. Even if it's on luxury goods.

"The same principle, money is enough to use. I don't want to marry three wives and four concubines, give birth to seventeen or eighteen children, this requires building a business empire, so that they can divide it after I die, and they won't starve to death."

"Why should those born extraordinary be content with being ordinary?" The person who said this was Howard Stark who walked over. His wife Maria followed beside him.

Tony made an impatient expression, seemingly wanting to run away. But he was well suppressed by his mother and became a human support for holding the tray. Maria used tongs to pick up small cakes and put them on the tray.

A big shot came to chat, and Henry didn't appear too casual in front of this one. Instead, he greeted him, and then responded neither softly nor hard: "Mr. Stark. Those born extraordinary must first learn to restrain their desires and not abuse the power in their hands.

"Only by doing this can one consider how to achieve the extraordinary. Maybe some people have tried their best in the first stage, then it's not bad for them to be ordinary."

"Although I really want to refute you, you are actually not wrong. Is this the reason why you would rather be a little assistant?" Howard said.

Seeing Henry's puzzled expression, Howard knocked on the ear part and said: "The idea of this little thing is good, but it looks like you won't accept my invitation."

Henry smiled and said: "I am a big fan of Ms. Hepburn. Being able to help him makes me feel happy. What job could be better than this."

"However, Ms. Hepburn is carrying out an extraordinary cause. Having you contribute a part of your strength in such a cause seems to be a bit contrary to your requirement of being content with being ordinary."

"I'm just helping a lady I like and respect. If this is what he hopes to do, then I will help, nothing more to say."

"From a certain perspective, this can be considered a clear life goal. This is much better than my child who doesn't know what to do."

Henry found that he had become the 'child of someone else's family', and laughed awkwardly.

The young master Tony, who was secretly damaged, responded with a smack of his lips. This was because his hand was grabbed by his mother, otherwise he would have turned his head and run long ago.
