Many products can be manufactured to meet people's daily needs. In the process of continuous development of the Internet, electronic products such as computers and mobile phones are born in response to the times. One of these products is a USB flash drive. The reason why it came about was because the computer's memory was very low at that time. In order to expand the computer's information memory, someone invented the USB flash drive. What happened to the Hunan guy who invented the USB flash drive and made hundreds of dollars? You may not believe it!
1. The custody battle for USB flash drives
This young man from Hunan is called Deng Guoshun. He is called the "father of USB flash drives". After Deng Guoshun created USB flash drives, it caused a lot of disputes. . In 1997, two major companies in Singapore and the United States began to compete for the ownership of the USB flash drive. In the end, Deng Guoshun of China successfully won the ownership of the USB flash drive. The USB flash drive finally belonged to Shenzhen Langke Technology Co., Ltd. of China, and the nationality of the USB flash drive was determined to be Chinese. Before 2000, Chinese USB flash drives were actually manufactured and sold by the Singaporean company TRK. At that time, USB flash drives were called silicon disks or thumb drives because Deng Guoshun was studying in Singapore and participated in the invention and creation of USB flash drives.
2. Return to China to establish a company
In 1999, Deng Guoshun returned to China and founded Netac Technology Co., Ltd. At the beginning, Netac Technology Co., Ltd. was only an agent of USB flash drives and participated in the development of USB flash drives. R&D and manufacturing, but Netac Technology Company applied for a comprehensive patent for the USB flash drive first. They were able to obtain the patent for the USB flash drive because TRK ignored the intellectual property rights. Later, Netac Technology Company even registered a trademark, with the purpose of allowing other countries and Enterprises cannot copy the design of USB flash drives, but the sales of USB flash drives are still popular in the markets of various countries. Before 2002, Netac Technology Company was a monopoly company in the USB flash drive market. At that time, Netac Technology Company charged huge patent fees. Later, Netac Technology Company began to expand its fields. The company even received financial support from the state and had many companies and investors. I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Netac Technology Company. Subsequently, two technology companies have developed in the field of wireless communications. In the first few years, Netac Technology Company's income was very high.
3. What is the current situation?
However, in 2013, Netac Technology Company was surpassed by other companies. In order to allow Netac Technology Company to have more and stable income, Netac Technology Company The Longco Building was built, and the two buildings were leased to others in exchange for income. On November 14, 2019, the USB flash drive patent of Netac Technology Company has expired. The company will no longer charge patent fees from all over the world. The income is very small. Now the largest source of income is the rent of Netac Building. However, with the passage of time and the development of the economy, the U disk invented by Netac Technology Co., Ltd. has been eliminated. Cloud storage gradually appeared. The capacity of computers has become larger and larger, and the role of U disk has become less and less. Netac Technology Company was eventually submerged in the long river of history, and its former glory can only be seen again in memories.
Conclusion: If a company wants to survive in this world for a long time, it must keep pace with the times, innovate and constantly transform and upgrade so that it can solve those challenges and seize the opportunities that the company can develop. This is the long-term development.
