Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 86 Patents and Shares

About half a month has passed since the release date of "The Legend of the Immortal", and many affairs in the church are progressing in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yuqing's intentional doping of private goods in the movie finally paid off. On this day, a notification came from the "Dimension Square", wanting to see Empress Zixuan.

Zixuan stepped into the side door of the welcoming hall of the Taoist temple, and sat down gracefully on the main seat.

On the left and right sides of her stood Taoist attendants, waiting for orders.

The shopkeeper of the largest clothing store in Bianjing City nodded and bowed, and hurriedly got up with two accountants, bowing to the empress, the financial director of the Immortal Sect.

Zixuan waved her hand, signaling him to avoid these customary etiquettes, and said in a slightly puzzled tone: "Master Chang, the Mistress of Er's family wants to ask for a batch of hydraulic spinning machines, right?"

Shopkeeper Chang is in his forties, with an honest face.

But to be able to become the second cabinet of the "Dimension Square" from a small boy, shopkeeper Chang naturally has an extraordinary ability to observe words and colors.

With a pious face, he first recited the slogan of the Longevity Sect, and then bowed his body and whispered softly: "Yes, after watching the new play of the Guixian Sect, the master is interested in the automatic spinning and weaving without manual labor." Cloth machinery is of particular interest.

Because of this, the villain was sent to harass the director and ask about the price of this item.
If it is acceptable, can my family buy a hydraulic spinning machine for my own use? "

Zixuan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's okay, but we still need to ask the craftsman who made the hydraulic spinning machine to see if he is willing to authorize it to your workshop."

"?"

Shopkeeper Chang felt that the nobleman's words were just refusals. Where in the world is there a reason to ask the craftsman to sell looms?

When you sell eggs, you still have to ask if the chickens are willing?

Zixuan easily saw his doubts, and explained: "It's not that I deliberately evaded the shopkeeper's request, but there is a regulation in my teaching called 'Patent Law', which clearly requires that such a process must be followed. It is the rule established by the Taoist master, and I dare not disobey it."

Seemingly seeing the deep doubts in Shopkeeper Chang's eyes, Zi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled to explain the specific rules of the 'Patent Law':
"This law aims to protect the rights and interests of artisans, so as to encourage people all over the world to invent more novel devices! From now on, all owners who invent and create unprecedented devices can submit relevant documents to any Longevity Temple with relevant explanatory documents." 'patent' application."

"My teaching will uniformly review the novelty, creativity, and practicality of these inventions, and if it is confirmed through relevant qualification checks that this is a novelty that is beneficial to the world, the owner will be granted 'patent ownership'.

After that, anyone who wants to use a device with the same structure needs to obtain the approval of the patent owner before it is feasible.

And if anyone wants to secretly imitate these patented devices, they will be severely punished by my teaching!
And my teaching will also vigorously support related reports from the public. Anyone who successfully reports an incident of infringement of the rights and interests of patent owners, the whistleblower will get [-]% of the total amount of fines and confiscated money as a reward! "

Zixuan nodded and smiled, and lowered the teacup: "Relevant notices will be announced to the world soon, and will be posted on the bulletin boards of the government offices in various counties.

If the shopkeeper often has a heart, you can pay attention to one or two. "

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of Shopkeeper Chang, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying one machine and dismantling it to make dozens of copies after returning home.

The Longevity Sect is gaining momentum recently, and he doesn't want to run into trouble.

What's more, he could tell from the words and demeanor of the Chief Financial Officer's wife that she seemed to ignore the fact that her move to the Longevity Sect actually interfered with the Law of the Song Dynasty.

This kind of natural attitude is like treating "The Law of the Song Dynasty" as a piece of paper that you can play with at will.

He also said that the local governments will cooperate with posting notices to declare the world.

Do people have to cooperate with you?

It seems that it really will.

Looking at the recent times that the Longevity Sect has mobilized the forbidden soldiers and horses in Beijing, it is almost not too easy, and we know how close the relationship between the upper echelon of the Song Dynasty government and the Longevity Sect is.

"So, I wonder if the villain can meet face-to-face with the craftsman who created these utensils? If I want to obtain the authorization of this person, what conditions are required? The villain is stupid, and I would like to ask the financial director to show me."

Zixuan chuckled and shook her head, and said with a smile: "Master Chang, you are a businessman. Naturally, this business involves taking money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. It's not as complicated as you think."

"However, you don't have to actually go to see the craftsman, he has entrusted me with carte blanche to teach and handle patent licensing matters.

As for your garment shop, if you want to purchase this hydraulic spinning machine, you only need to pay a patent royalty of [-] guan per year. "

"It's easy!" Shopkeeper Chang was overjoyed immediately, clasped his fists and agreed, "How about setting a three-year contract first?"

A mere [-] guan, just stuck in the upper limit that he can decide on his own.

Zixuan glanced at him, drank tea and said, "Of course it's okay.

However, shopkeeper Chang may still not understand what I mean. The thousand guan is just the patent fee, which means that there will be no restrictions on the use of the hydraulic spinning machine by the Er family in the future. "

"My teaching will also allow your family to put up a sign to promote that your cloth is all spun by hydraulic spinning machines as a gimmick.

If other companies also want to publicize this point, they will also have to pay patent fees.

Otherwise, once my teaching finds out, it will be rectified, fined, and ordered to rectify! "

Shopkeeper Chang was stunned when he heard this, and murmured:

"In this way, if someone also buys this patent right, they can publicize that they use the Xianjiao loom to weave like my family?"

Zixuan covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's natural, it seems that shopkeeper Chang wants to run the business independently?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm a businessman, and when I have a choice, I don't want to compete with others!"

"It's not difficult." Zixuan turned her head to signal, and the Taoist beside her stepped forward and spread out the book in her arms. She checked it and nodded in satisfaction:
"Now within the scope of Kaifeng, if you want to obtain the exclusive franchise of hydraulic spinning machines, your shopkeeper is still the first. In this way, there is still a chance."

Shopkeeper Chang was at a loss, and didn't know what this arbitrary management right was. He just nodded with a smile in an inscrutable manner, and quietly listened to the fairy priest's narration.

"Considering that businessmen seek profit, and teaching Taoism will not violate human nature, a supplementary decree is issued.

If you are willing to pay five times the patent fee, you can monopolize the management right of a county.

This means that within the scope of the county, no other family can obtain the relevant patent authorization, and your family will become a veritable monopoly operation! "

Shopkeeper Chang twitched his eyebrows and murmured, "Five times? Five thousand!"

"Not bad." Zixuan nodded: "Not enough? It doesn't matter, you can add more."

"Pay [-] times the patent license fee, you can monopolize the patent operation of a province.

Paying 150 times the patent licensing fee can monopolize the patent operation along the way, if you want to monopolize the whole country..."

Shopkeeper Chang swallowed his saliva, strained his ears to listen to the words uttered from the red lips of the Xianjiao empress, and guessed what a terrifying astronomical figure it would be.

"...you need to submit the relevant application, and at five hundred times the base price, each company bids."

'Gudong. 'The shopkeeper often feels a little dry mouth.

50 guan is only enough to buy the national monopoly right to operate hydraulic spinning machines for one year.

my goodness...

The craftsman who invented this machine must be richer than his boss!
He just added some new functions under the guidance of Zhangjiao Daozi! !

Just by opening a few patent licenses, you can earn money that ordinary people can't earn in a few lifetimes! !
Is this... common sense? ? ?

Shopkeeper Chang fell into confusion for a moment, and those craftsmen who had a low status in his heart seemed to suddenly become tall and mighty.

Zixuan sneered, breaking his fantasy.

"Shopkeeper Chang, don't be so shocked, today's world is not the world you know.

The real immortal came to the world, and the Taoist Purdue.

In today's world, it can be said that the catastrophe of demons and chaos is imminent, and everyone can practice Taoism to compete for that chance to be extraordinary.

Everything my Immortal Cult does is to increase the luck of my human race, restrain the power of demons, and hope to overcome the catastrophe. "

Shopkeeper Chang took a deep breath, and reverently bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Ma'am, for clarifying the confusion!"

"It's okay."

The two sat down again, shopkeeper Chang's ability to accept was quite high, he had figured out the hidden mystery of the purchase of hydraulic machinery at this moment, and it could not be explained clearly in a few words.

However, he didn't feel discouraged at all. Instead, he instinctively noticed the huge opportunity hidden in it.

If you can catch up with this wave of opportunities, maybe you can do a lot!
Thinking about it, Chang Shu hasn't left the master's house all these years and started anew?
It's just because there is no way out, that's all.

Now God made him one step ahead to realize that the Immortal Sect of Longevity seems to intend to deploy in the business world, so he naturally racked his brains to get a share of it.

"What Your Majesty said before, the patent fee is one thousand guan, it doesn't seem to include the cost of the machine itself?"

"That's right. After purchasing the patent right, you can send people to imitate and build the machine yourself, and you can also pay money to buy finished products from my teaching. There is no limit."

"Send someone to build it yourself, is there an explanation?"

"Shopkeeper Chang is really smart. Although this self-imitation saves money, it depends on the quality. If you buy a finished product, the current price is [-] guan, and the construction period is seven days. The schedule will start on the date of order."

"..." Shopkeeper Chang made some calculations in his heart. His garment shop needs at least fifty hydraulic spinning machines, which is [-] guan, plus the annual patent licensing fee. It's really not something that ordinary traders can afford!
He couldn't help sighing, but he heard Zixuan chuckle.

"Treasurer Chang's words are wrong. Wealth will not disappear. On the contrary, the wealth that circulates can benefit the general public."

"Oh? I hope to hear about the director's empress explaining the details."

After talking for so long, Zixuan was also a little thirsty, and after taking another sip of tea, she said, "How does this hydraulic spinning machine compare to human power?"

"Excellent!" Shopkeeper Chang made no secret of it: "A hydraulic spinning machine can start working day and night, and the cloth that originally required [-] skilled workers to produce can be produced in full daily with just one machine." Produced."

This is not his own random estimate.

In fact, before he came to see Empress Xianjiao, he had already inquired about the working efficiency of this hydraulic spinning machine through various channels, and made a lot of comparisons.

"In other words, a hydraulic spinning machine can save the labor cost of hiring thirty skilled spinners, and it can also increase production efficiency, right?"

"Correct!"

"Then does it mean that the production cost of cloth using the hydraulic spinning machine has actually dropped?"

"……This pair!"

"So if there are enough water-powered spinning machines, can enough low-priced cloth be produced?

At that time, if so many cheap cloths flow into the market at one time, will it be able to overwhelm other clothing stores in an instant?

After all, your cloth is high-quality and cheap, but the cloth of other shops cannot be compared with yours because of the production cost and production speed.

After a long time, it will naturally have to close the door! "

"..."

"At that time, if the people in Bianliang want to wear clothes, they will go to your house to buy cloth. How much money do you want to earn, but can't you make it?"

Shopkeeper Chang stroked his beard and thought for a while, only to feel suddenly enlightened.

That's right, I can completely compress the price with the low production cost of the hydraulic spinning machine, so I can squeeze my peers together!
In an instant, his mung bean-sized eyes lit up, and he immediately thought that he could even secretly buy out the exclusive management right of Bianliang City in his own name, and quietly squeezed his boss down by the way.

At that time, he, Chang Shu, will be the new tailor king of Bianliang City!
but……

He suddenly pulled out a beard, winked in pain, and returned to the root of his thoughts.

The root cause is that he doesn't have that much capital!

A full more than 2 yuan!
Not to mention that he is just a shopkeeper working as a worker, even if the person behind the scenes of Dixiefang wants to spend [-] guan at a time, he will bleed profusely!

Shopkeeper Chang can only lament that he can only watch the great opportunity to get rich slip away from his hands, helpless and empty.

"No money? We have it!"

Zixuan heard him complain, but popped out this sentence from his mouth.

Shopkeeper Chang's heart jumped a few times in disbelief, and his eyes gradually showed hope and asked: "Could it be that the Immortal Sect Empress means that you can credit the villain..."

"Of course not."

Zixuan's next sentence directly extinguished the fire in Shopkeeper Chang's eyes, and added: "Remember what I said before, only the wealth that circulates can benefit all walks of life in society."

"Headmaster Daozi feels this, and is planning to build a method to circulate wealth."

"This method is also simple to say. It can be summed up in a simple sentence. Everyone gathers firewood to make a flame!"

"First of all, my teaching will come forward to set up a chamber of commerce, responsible for selecting those shops founded by those who have dreams, are willing to benefit the common people, have courage and love, and devoutly worship immortals, and provide them with an opportunity to attract funds from all walks of life."

"This... but I don't know how to absorb funds from all walks of life?"

"It's not easy." Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled: "All shops that join the chamber of commerce must sell [-]% of their shares to the public.

In order to enable more people to contribute to the future development of these stores, the [-]% shares will be subdivided into [-] shares, and each share will be divided according to the overall value estimate of the store in my teaching. The issue price of the shares. "

"For example, Shopkeeper Chang, you want to start a clothing store, and after passing relevant selections, you successfully registered in the China Chamber of Commerce in my teaching and started selling shares.

So if the total price of your clothing store is estimated to be [-] guan, you can sell each share at a constant price to anyone who wants to buy shares. "

"After the [-] shares are sold out, shopkeeper Chang will be able to get [-] in cash. Don't you have money to buy machinery and hire workers to start production?"

Hearing this, shopkeeper Chang was dumbfounded, staring at Zixuan in a daze, only feeling a chill pouring from the Tianlinggen, and immediately tremblingly said: "I don't know... I don't know how this chamber of commerce can get in. Well, the villain really can't wait!"
