"Let's give up the fight and let President Sidney buy the authorization. Then we can share it with President Sidney. Isn't that better?"
Before the patent was even in their hands, there were already people who wanted to play tricks.
The staff at the counter noticed their conversation and could not help but admire Tang En even more. He had even anticipated this situation!
"Let me make it clear in advance. When the unit obtains the authorization of the patent, it is only limited to the applicant and the Chamber of Commerce. They need to sign a contract to ensure that the technical information is not licensed to others. If anyone violates the contract, then we will take back the authorization and the Chamber of Commerce's right to do business. We will also block the violating Chamber of Commerce and confiscate the relevant funds."
The staff suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on those proud fellows. Suddenly, the harmonious small circle fell into a strange silence. After a moment, they dispersed as if nothing had happened, but their eyes kept glancing at the counter.
Sidney sneered secretly. These guys still did not learn their lesson. They still wanted to play tricks at this time. They did not even know that they were being played by Tang En.
"Datang Chamber of Commerce Patent No. 112. The patent name is' The Design Principle and Production Process of the Magic Air Conditioner '. Now accepting the authorization application —"
As soon as the beautiful woman at the patent authorization counter finished speaking, the group of people immediately rushed up like crazy. "I was here first! I want to apply for authorization! "
"I was here first! Damn it, you dare to fight with me!? Pay me back the money you owe me! "
"I was here first! You bastard! "
The staff took out a stack of forms expressionlessly. "According to the rules, fill in the forms first. Then we will select suitable targets for selection. Finally, we will bid for the patent authorization. After you hand in the forms, wait at the side."
Fill, fill in the forms!?
The group of people was stunned. After taking back the forms, they were even more dumbfounded.
Name, age, gender, place of birth, home address, power/Chamber of Commerce, size, circulating funds …
They were all stunned by the inexplicable information forms that appeared in front of them.
Someone could not help but ask, "Wait! What is this!? We are just applying for the patent authorization. Why do we need to fill in the size of the Chamber of Commerce and circulating funds!? "
The staff member sneered and said, "Everyone knows how big the market for the Magic Energy Air Conditioner is. The patent authorization is naturally not cheap. If we don't investigate the production capacity and financial ability of the chamber of commerce you belong to, how can we be sure that you will be able to get the patent? How can you be sure that you have the ability to produce it after buying the license? "
Everyone was speechless.
At this moment, Sidney and Birbom had already silently filled out the forms and handed them in.
"President Sidney, Baron Birbom." The staff member nodded slightly. "There should be no problem with your strength. Let me congratulate you in advance."
Sidney and Birbom were a bit proud of themselves. Being able to reach this level as a merchant was already a very rare realm.
The Datang Chamber of Commerce had applied for many patents, but there were also many businessmen who wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the market. Therefore, all the patents that Tang En had authorized had attracted fierce competition from many chambers of commerce.
These people's competition for patents had long been within Tang En's expectations.
After all, in Prandal, technology was in a relatively confidential state. Everyone wanted to keep the technology in their mind and never let others know. Now that there was an opportunity to learn other people's technology, how could they miss it?
In particular, there were many people who did not lack money at all, such as Sidney, Birbom, Neander, and so on …
The presidents of these large chambers of commerce directly skipped the small patents and focused on the authorization of large patents. This way, the probability of success was higher and the profits were higher.
With the passage of time, more and more patents were granted, and one after another, the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce received the authorization letter and left with a happy expression on their faces. However, everyone knew that only the people who stayed behind were the real tycoons of Ilrus' commercial market.
Tang En, who was hiding in the corner upstairs, watched everything in the hall with a faint smile on his face.
The authorization of patents had officially started and could be regarded as a catalyst for the accelerated development of Prandal. The next step was the rapid promotion of various products. After various technologies were perfected by various talents and overlapped with each other, what kind of wonderful changes would be produced in the end was not something he could predict.
Of course, it was natural that Sidney would win in the end. After all, he was able to become the president of the Commerce Alliance, which proved that he was not a simple person.
However …
Tang En secretly shook his head. Such a talent was on the wrong side.
It was not only Sidney, but also the other chambers of commerce in the Commerce Alliance. They were on the side of the aristocratic party, which meant that they were destined to fail.
Because the royal party had his help, it was impossible for them to lose. If they could not continue playing, they could just flip the table …
After all, the big backer behind them was the goddess.
"The starting bid is one million gold coins, and the minimum bid increment is no less than ten thousand gold coins …"
"One million one hundred thousand!"
"President Neander, one million one hundred thousand …"
"One million one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Baron Birbom, one million one hundred and fifty thousand …"
"One million five hundred thousand!"
"President Sidney, one million five hundred thousand!"
Listening to the bids coming from the conference room below, Fiona's furrowed brows relaxed, and a comfortable smile appeared on her face. Her eyes were curved into crescents.
Tang En raised his eyebrows and teased, "Now you're not talking about me?"
"Of course I'm not talking about you."
Fiona smiled as she took out a notebook and began to estimate today's income. At the same time, she complained, "If we had known that the authorization of patents was so profitable, we would have implemented this plan long ago."
"You think this is profitable?"
Tang En could not help but laugh. The time for him to make a steady stream of money had yet to come. He would only start counting the money when they had fully grasped the technology and started to put it into production. Of course, that would also be the time when he would need to spend large amounts of money to catalyze the world.
Strictly speaking, this was only equivalent to a one-time buyout transfer price of the patent. However, Tang En had used a little trick. Under his suggestion, the duration of the patent was the same as the lifespan of the copyright owner.
In other words, as long as the copyright owner was still alive, the patent would not expire, and the corresponding licensing fee would be paid for using the patent.
There was also a minimum protection period of ten years. If the copyright owner died unexpectedly within ten years, then the legal heir would automatically inherit the patent and copyright.
To put it simply, Tang En had put in a lot of effort to maintain a healthy development of the industry.
"Today, we spent more than ten thousand gold coins just to apply for the patent. Of course, I have to calculate the income."
Fiona rolled her eyes at him, and the pen in her hand flew up and down. During the conversation, she recorded the main points of today's situation, and more importantly, the price after the patent authorization. The result would only be known after the bidding was over.
"There's no need to calculate. Today's authorization alone should be worth more than ten million gold coins in total."
Tang En smiled faintly and said with a calm expression, "The patents for the magical furniture are what they care about the most. The average price will not be too low, and it will take up most of the money. Together with those small patents, it won't be a problem to exceed ten million."
"Ten million!"
Fiona's pupils shrank, and her breathing suddenly became more rapid. Her chest rose and fell. Tang En glanced at the black lace neckline from the corner of his eyes and looked away with a little regret.
"Ten million gold coins!"
Fiona grabbed Tang En's arm and shouted in a short and urgent voice, "Aren't you excited at all!?"
Although the Datang Chamber of Commerce's turnover in the past few months had exceeded ten million gold coins, and the net profit was not small, but … money was not enough!
Ellington's rapid construction speed was simply burning money!
Tang En was completely using gold coins to boost the residents' enthusiasm for construction. The bonuses were raised again and again, causing the expenses to be very high. In the account books of the Liege's Residence and the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the amount of gold coins in reserve had never exceeded three million. From time to time, it would fall below the red line of one hundred thousand gold coins.
This time, ten million gold coins entered the account in one breath. Fiona was almost stunned by this surprise that fell from the sky.
Most importantly, in Fiona's eyes, these ten million gold coins were almost no cost. It was equivalent to pure profit!
She still could not understand that intangible intellectual property was also expensive.
"Look at you."
Tang En smiled and shook his head, but he was inexplicably disappointed in his heart.
Ever since he knew that there was a God in this world, the increase of wealth basically could not make him feel happy.
So what if he had more wealth? In the eyes of those at a higher level, the value of those gold coins was not much higher than the value of the soil. It might not even be as important as the soil, after all, the soil could grow plant life.
Tang En had now begun to learn to really use wealth as a tool, and not as a treasure to fill the treasury and satisfy his desire for wealth.
"With these ten million gold coins, the previously designed road network expansion plan can be put on the agenda!"
Fiona's eyes were full of spirit. She said energetically, "Not only that, but the few factories that were previously suspended can also start construction. This money is too timely and too important. I have to plan it well and use it well."
"In addition, there's also the military equipment factory and the military magic machine factory that you mentioned before. It can be —"
"Shh …"
Tang En suddenly pushed Fiona against the wall. With one hand pressed against the wall, his whole body pressed against it.
Fiona was stunned. She looked at Tang En's face that was getting closer and closer. Her heart suddenly beat wildly.
Tang En's finger pressed against her pink lips. His lips moved around her face, and he whispered in her ear, "When we're outside, don't mention these secrets … Don't forget that Ellington is a pacifist."
