There was a saying on Earth, "Life is like a play. It all depends on one's acting skills."
Victor and Tang En showed off their acting skills. Both of them were very satisfied with each other's performance. Unfortunately, they didn't know that the other party was also very satisfied with their own acting skills.
Tang En's identity had always been a secret in Victor's heart. After holding it in for so long, he could finally open his mouth. Of course, he would do his best to get Tang En's support.
As for Tang En, he felt very sorry for what he had done to Ye Ge. Now that her father was kneeling in front of him and wanting to hug his thigh, what else could he do?
First, of course, he had to act dumb and distance himself from the relationship. Then, he could reassure him.
"I'm sorry, Victor. I really didn't know that Ye Ge was Olga. I always thought that Ye Ge was just a simple female cat burglar."
Tang En's face was full of guilt. "If I knew that she was Olga, I wouldn't have gone so far …"
"Sir Oracle, you don't have to feel guilty. It's all a misunderstanding. It's all my daughter's fault. She insisted on going to your side to test you …"
Victor was full of regret. If he had stopped Aurelia's test plan from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
"Just call me Tang En."
Tang En said, "Don't worry. I know about this. I won't do anything to her in the future. It's better to tell her directly."
"Don't!"
Victor stopped Tang En. "Your identity is very important. The Oracle repeatedly emphasized for me to keep it a secret. So, I can't tell Olga. If Olga knows about your identity, she will definitely hate me for not telling her …"
Victor looked embarrassed. "So, it's better to keep it from her for now."
Obviously, the real reason why Victor wanted Tang En to keep it a secret was that he didn't want Aurelia to hate him …
Tang En deeply sympathized with him.
After removing Time Stop, Aurelia didn't notice the abnormality just now at all.
Tang En said directly, "Today, we will build the general framework of the patent law. I will tell you my thoughts. If you have any questions, we can discuss it later."
Humph!
Aurelia snorted coldly. She didn't believe that Tang En would say anything constructive.
"First of all, the patent law protects intellectual property …"
Until noon, Tang En had been explaining to Victor how to protect intellectual property rights and how to make a certain amount of profit from it to maintain the sound development of this policy.
For example, the registration fee policy, the protection period policy, the transfer authorization policy, the handling fee policy, etc.
Of course, the most important thing was to implement the investigation and protection policy at the grassroots level, take the initiative to protect the rights and interests of patent owners, and use this to win more people to apply for patents, thus promoting the country's development, increasing the national treasury's income, and so on …
During this period, Aurelia did not speak. She just focused on recording Tang En's words, as if she was really fulfilling the duties of a clerk.
When it was close to noon, Tang En, whose mouth was dry from talking, finally stopped. Victor, who was intoxicated from listening to him, came back to his senses and said happily, "Count Tang En, the palace kitchen has already prepared lunch. Why don't we continue to talk while eating?"
"Of course."
In any case, according to Tang En's arrangements, there was nothing else important to do in the next few days. As long as he completed the registration of the patent application with Victor, this Glory Festival would not be in vain.
As mentioned before, the protection of intellectual property rights was related to the sound development of related industries in the future. Tang En did not want to let the various industries develop in the future fall into unnecessary internal friction — although internal friction would increase competitiveness and viability, it would only waste precious development time now.
"Are you done?"
Aurelia put away the scroll. When she saw Tang En pick up the teacup, her body suddenly went limp and fell towards Tang En, knocking over the teacup in his hand.
Victor was shocked. "Olga!?"
"Your Highness?"
Tang En hugged Aurelia with a concerned face. "What's wrong with you?"
Aurelia pressed on Tang En's chest, her face a little pale. "I think I'm a little dizzy … I-I'm sorry I wet your clothes …"
"It's okay. Are you okay?"
When Tang En put Aurelia on the seat, he suddenly paused and then let go of her as if nothing had happened.
Just now, Aurelia took the opportunity to steal the Datang Chamber of Commerce badge from his pocket.
This made Tang En not know whether to laugh or cry.
This chick was too bold, wasn't she?
She actually dared to use this identity to make a move. Wasn't she afraid of being discovered and exposed?
If he had not promised Victor to keep it a secret, Tang En would have already grabbed her hand and announced that she had lost.
But now that Tang En knew her identity, of course, he could not be too serious, so he decided to give Aurelia a chance …
At this moment, Tang En did not know that after talking to his mother last night, Aurelia had decided to stake everything on this one throw.
Whether she won or lost, she wanted to let Tang En know that she was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for death. She would never admit defeat!
Of course, if she knew the truth, she would probably be even more desperate, because one of the most despairing things in the world was when you finally used all your strength to win against your opponent, only to find out that your opponent was actually going easy on you …
Aurelia did not have lunch with them, but went straight back to her room to rest. After Tang En and Victor had lunch, they continued to improve the intellectual property protection law in the afternoon. When he left the palace in the evening, the framework of the protection law had been completely completed. A few main rules had been formulated, and the rest was to adapt to local conditions. After making some slight modifications according to the Prandal situation, they could take office.
"You mean, you were busy discussing this intellectual property protection law with His Majesty Victor all day?"
Fiona looked surprised. "You actually know how to do proper business?"
"Ha, so he usually slacks off?"
Grandia looked up and laughed at Tang En. "Is this the professional attitude you told me about?"
"At least it's better than you slacking off every day. You don't understand the significance of what I do."
Tang En pursed his lips. Sooner or later, he would teach this little lily a lesson. As for whether she was convinced or not, it did not matter.
Grandia's ears twitched. She thought that Tang En was quibbling. "Heh, why don't you tell me how significant it is?"
"Let's take Danterian, Clover, and Ai Lili as examples."
"Eh? Us? "
Danterian was stunned. Clover and Ai Lili, who were talking, were also attracted by Tang En. "What examples?"
"Right now, although Danterian and Clover's works are being sold outside, there are no relevant laws to protect your works. In other words, if someone else gets their hands on your works and copies them to reprint and sell, we won't be able to do anything to them."
"As for the exterior design that Ai Lili designed for us, theoretically speaking, she should have the authorship of the design. The law should protect her design patent, but there is no corresponding law now. If someone else takes it away, we can't do anything about it."
Fiona's heart tightened when she heard this. This was also what she was more worried about. After all, selling novels and comics was almost pure profit!
But she was soon relieved. "My Lord, only we have the printing machine, so there's no need to worry, right?"
"Trust me, once something appears, others will quickly figure out the principles behind it and produce their own products."
Tang En did not doubt this at all, especially when there was such an unscientific power as magic in this world …
"Therefore, in order to protect our own interests and to promote the healthy development of the entire Prandal magic industry, I need to work hard to promote the establishment of this intellectual property law. This is a benchmark. Once a corresponding law appears in the Irus Empire, other countries will also follow under the control of public opinion. A good circle of development will be formed."
Ai Lili said, "It sounds very much like the Spell Registration Act of the City of Silver Magicians."
Tang En was stunned. "Spell Registration Act? How do you know about it? "
"I've been to the City of Silver before," Ai Lili explained. Alice explained. "All orthodox Magicians who receive training in the City of Silver have to be registered. The City of Silver will protect the interests of Magicians from being infringed upon. At the same time, it will also protect the ownership of the spells created by the corresponding Magician. If you wish to learn the spells created by a Magician, you will have to pay the corresponding gold coins or magical materials of a specific value in order to obtain the learning notes."
"It's very similar. This can be called a magic patent."
Tang En praised. "I didn't expect the City of Silver to be at the forefront of all countries in this aspect."
"Will King Victor accept your suggestion?"
"Of course. He's still counting on this law to get me to give him the hot pot patent so that he can open a chain of hot pot restaurants with Aubrey and Adrian to make money."
Tang En spread his hands. "It seems that King Victor is really scared of being poor."
Fiona, who knew the financial situation of the imperial family, shook her head with a bitter smile. The economy was monopolized by the Cadier family, the Spade family, and the Trade Union. The imperial family had fewer and fewer ways to make money. The tax rate could not be raised anymore, but the expenses did not decrease at all. How could he not be worried?
Then Fiona reported the situation of the day's activities. Almost five thousand bicycles were given away today. During the promotional activities, they also made deals with many foreign traveling merchants. According to Tang En's instructions, they sold the first-generation air conditioners to them at a low price.
These traveling merchants brought the first-generation air conditioners back to their hometowns to sell. If the sales were good, they would of course continue to buy more. After a long time, they would become the local agents of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. If you wanted to occupy a market in a certain place, you didn't have to invest money and manpower. As long as the people in that place desired your products, they would naturally come to cooperate with you.
This was Tang En's low-cost expansion plan.
That night, Tang En thought that Aurelia would come directly to him to announce her victory, but she didn't come.
It seemed that she also knew that Tang En had just lost something in the palace. It was too much of a coincidence that she showed up.
