Chapter 210 (1/2)

Linus was silent for a long time. He didn't wake up until his daughter called ”yiyiyiya”.

With a sorry smile at Xiao Qi, Linus skillfully flushed the milk powder for his daughter, held the baby in his arms, fed her a large bottle of milk, and then gently patted her on the back until the baby who had enough to eat and drink had a milk hiccup, and then put her back in the cradle.

Xiao Qi was undoubtedly very patient. When Linus was a father, he didn't say a word.

But it is this invisible pressure that makes Linus's state of mind far less peaceful than at first.

”Mr. Xiao.” Linus hesitated, ”I know you want to use the example of music to illustrate that money and honor are the driving force to promote social development and the source of technological progress... But I still insist that I am doing this to benefit mankind and let more people enjoy a better scientific and technological life.”

Although his words were hesitant, his tone was very firm.

Decades of faith, of course, can not be changed by Xiao Qi in just a few words.

Xiao Qi was more prepared than he thought, ”do you know the state of China?”

”I know.” Linus nodded.

”Do you know that the four great inventions affecting human civilization: compass, papermaking, gunpowder and movable type printing were all invented by China?”

”I've also learned that the ancient people of China are really great!” Linus exclaimed, ”without a compass, there would be no era of great navigation; Without papermaking, human civilization and experience cannot be spread; Without gunpowder, we are still living in the era of cold weapons; Without movable type printing, books are just treasures that a few people can have... China is worthy of being one of the four ancient civilizations. Such amazing inventions can be created! ”

”However, the fate of modern China was not good.” Xiao Qi smiled. ”In ancient China, inventors like Mr. tovaz had a very low status, almost no different from beggars. When people take whatever they invent and use it, they don't think they are great at all. Instead, they are despised for not doing business, not engaged in production and reading. ”

”Ah?!”

”This is the serious consequence of not paying attention to intellectual property rights, resulting in China's backwardness and being beaten in the past 200 years. If we could protect and reward these talented inventors in ancient times and let them get a lot of wealth and respect, more people would yearn for their life, so as to constantly rack their brains and invent new good things. ” Xiao Qi said quietly, ”even if their purpose is only for themselves, why don't we all benefit from it? Mr. towaz, can you say Edison is wrong because of the patent fee for the electric lamp? Since you think he is wrong, why use his product? ”

”You... You are unreasonable!” Linus was angry. ”The two have different meanings. Besides, I just let my things be free, which doesn't hinder others from making money!”

”I'll tell you another famous story in ancient China.”

”Stop talking! Anyway, I won't agree to let you charge! ”

Linus neatly refused Xiao Qi's words, because he found that the Chinese teenager was so good at speaking that he was touched in his heart.
