Chapter 304 Serious Nonsense

Under Tang En's constant explanations, Victor finally understood what he meant.

"You mean, I set up a department in the name of the king, and the responsibility of this department is to protect the people's intellectual property rights for a fee and provide them with a safe entrepreneurial environment so that they can use their patents to create economic benefits with peace of mind. , or by authorizing others to use it, you can get benefits yourself, is that what you mean?"

"That's right."

Tang En raised his cup and continued: "The most important thing is that with the corresponding intellectual property protection laws, people don't have to worry about their good ideas being infringed by others, and are willing to use their brains to innovate instead of continuing to stick to the past. Do you know what this means for this three-thirds of an acre?"

Victor raised his eyebrows: "What does it mean?"

"This means that our Illus Empire will become the first country in Purandar to legislate to protect the intangible property of residents! The innovation of residents will not only be an idea, a illusory thing, but can be transformed into something real wealth!"

"The explosion of patents is often accompanied by industrial development and technological innovation. The combination of magic and engineering will be the future trend. It is a market with huge potential!"

Victor laughed when he heard this: "In other words, the market for magic crystals will be broader?"

He may not understand much else, but the expansion of the market means an increase in income, which he still knows very well.

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Tang En said with a smile: "Only me and my Datang Chamber of Commerce can only play a role in promoting it. If we really want to make magic technology work, we need everyone's efforts."

Having said this, what else can Victor say?

It's just a registration and protection department, and according to Tang En, the next step is almost pure income. The task is just to catch who has infringed the law. How much trouble can it take?

Victor now has no idea that the reason why safeguarding rights is so easy is because Tang En urged him to set up a property rights protection department when innovation was just starting to take off.

When people are not used to infringing on intellectual property rights, legislate and prepare in advance. When people have that intention, they find that infringement is illegal. If they continue to take risks, they will only be severely punished by imperial laws. Naturally, they will not try again. Over time, a benign entrepreneurial environment was formed.

If you want to wait until relevant copycat companies have emerged before preparing to protect intellectual property rights, then it will really be too late. People are already accustomed to getting something for nothing and do not realize that it is an infringement.

Maybe they thought it was nothing at the time, but when they entered the workplace and started their own business, they discovered how harsh the entrepreneurial environment is. Every idea will be plagiarized and copied by others, and then others will take advantage of their early development and forcefully steal you. Forced to collapse...

This is vicious competition.

Tang En used what he saw, heard and experienced on earth to avoid this risk in advance. In the original stage, he began to cultivate people's habit of obeying laws and paying for authorization, creating a green and vibrant industrial ecology. circle, and then the magic technology in this world will only develop faster and faster in a healthy environment.

When Tang En expressed his "conjecture" about the harm of not enacting laws to protect intellectual property rights as soon as possible, Victor and O'bury broke out in a cold sweat. They never thought that there was such a hidden place that they had never paid attention to. Huge harm.

"Sure enough, Earl Tang En has the foresight!"

Victor sighed with emotion: "Having you in the empire is no less than getting a legendary mage!"

But I am originally a legendary mage...

Tang En touched his nose and was too embarrassed to say anything.

After discussing with Tang En to take time to discuss the establishment of the Patent and Copyright Office in the next few days, Victor suddenly looked at Tang En with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have done you a big favor, right? After all, the Datang Chamber of Commerce has Everyone is watching you every time you move, and you are the Chamber of Commerce that is most likely to be copied."

Tang En had nothing to be embarrassed about and admitted openly: "That's natural. After the Patent and Copyright Office was established, I was the first to come over with a patent application to apply for protection. I believe that if I take the lead, others will also I am willing to believe in the impartiality of the Patent and Copyright Office.”

"That's not necessarily the case..."

Fiona shook her head: "In the eyes of others, we have already been labeled as the Royal Faction. The Patent and Copyright Office was established by His Majesty, so it is natural for us to support it. The Business Alliance and the Noble Faction are alliances, and they How can you safely hand over your exclusive secrets to the Patent and Copyright Office?”

"That's true..."

Tang En rubbed his chin: "If their technology wasn't so backward, I would have deliberately copied their products. I'll know how powerful they are when they have no way to complain."

Victor, who was worried, was slightly startled when he heard this, looked at each other with Aubrey, and suddenly smiled: "Then there is no need for Count Down to worry about this matter, just leave it to us."

Tang En secretly thought that indeed...

From the very beginning, he felt that Victor and Aubrey could not have much wealth, but it was just about privacy, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Now looking at Victor's attitude, it is obvious that he is planning to take some action in order to implement the patent copyright law...

Tang En secretly shook his head. Everyone knows how powerful the combination of power and capital can be. He only hopes that Victor will not be corrupted by power and money after the current crisis is resolved, and can maintain his current mentality of daring to revolution. .

Didn't he already plan to take advantage of his privileges for Tang En's magic crystal plan and to increase the royal family's income?

Unrestricted privilege is a beast that can hurt others and yourself - sometimes, Tang En even wanted to thank the aristocrats who forced Victor to become like this.

He felt that the reason why he had such a harmonious relationship with Victor was simply because Victor was in a desperate situation. Otherwise, how could he care about him as an emperor?

I hope he can keep his heart in his heart, because not all vested interests dare to overthrow their dominance.

Although this is due to the special circumstances of the Purandar and Illus empires, in this regard, Victor will probably become the first person in these two worlds in the ages.

"Haha, let's not talk about this for now, and we will continue the discussion later."

After getting a piece of good news after just one meal, Victor felt much better, and the sadness on Queen Olena's face also disappeared a lot. She drank a lot of red wine in happiness - of course, her daughter was finally The reason for getting out of the sea of ​​suffering...

"Oh? I still want to continue to give His Majesty ideas for making money."

Tang En looked surprised: "I thought you would be interested."

"Any ideas for making a fortune?"

Victor and Adrian's eyes widened: "Say it quickly!"

Aubrey looked at Adrian with disdain: "Now that you have married Vanessa, a big spender, you finally know the importance of making money?"

Adrian was furious: "If you don't expose my background, you will die!?"

Everyone knows that magicians are good at making money, but what is more widely known is how much money they burn... As Aubrey said, after being tricked by him, Tang En, and Victor, Adrian had to force himself He took the trouble to marry Vanessa home, and then he had to face a very harsh fact: his little family probably couldn't afford Vanessa's burning...

Making money is imminent!

Therefore, Adrian's incident tells everyone a truth. Even if it is to have the opportunity to enjoy the blessings of others in the future, you must do your best to make money to support your family...

Tang En knocked on the table with a smile: "What do you think of this hot pot?"

"hot pot?"

Victor frowned, then relaxed: "You mean, this kind of hot pot business?"

"Yes, on the one hand it's because winter is about to start and the weather is cold, which is the peak season for hot pot. On the other hand..."

Tang En pondered for a moment, but he didn't know whether he should say anything more.

"on the other hand?"

"On the other hand, hot pot is actually a good communication platform."

Platform! ?

Aubrey and the others were dumbfounded. What does this thing have to do with the communication platform?

"You may not have noticed that everyone is sitting together, eating hot pot, drinking, and talking freely, which makes it easy to get closer to each other."

Tang En said seriously: "Your Majesty Victor, we have talked about slaves and class before, so now, what I want to say is that hot pot is actually very helpful in dissolving the barriers between classes."

"Hot pot is hot, which means 'intimacy'; hot pot is round, which means 'reunion'; hot pot uses soup to treat the raw materials, which means 'softness overcomes hardness'; hot pot does not reject meat and fish, does not dislike cold and vegetarian food, the ingredients are not divided into north and south, and the seasoning does not reject east and west, and the delicacies of the mountains are , seafood, river delicacies, seasonal vegetables, tofu, vermicelli, all comers can be put into the pot, which means "to serve the world"; the hot pot is a mixture of meat and vegetables, with all five flavors, the main ingredients and ingredients are permeable in taste, and it also embodies a kind of 'The beauty of neutrality'."

"Hot pot most intuitively embodies the profound meaning of 'eating in the same pot'. It can be said to be an out-and-out 'eating together'. What's more, this 'eating together' does not have any compulsory nature. , everyone can choose their favorite main ingredients and eat them hot, which is a lively situation that can be said to have a unified will and personal comfort. "

"Hot pot is not only a way of cooking, but also a way of dining; not only a way of eating, but also a cultural model. Hot pot is like people need to learn to tolerate, just like hot pot, green vegetables, meat dishes, seasonings, etc. All can be accommodated without excluding each other. Only by tolerating each other can barriers be eliminated. This hot pot is like a big melting pot. While everyone is sitting together eating hot pot, they are also being twisted together and melted. More intimate.” (Note)

A group of people were even more dumbfounded. How could they actually get some culture out of eating hot pot?

Victor thought about what Tang En meant: "You mean... to promote this hot pot as a culture?"

"Of course, this is not only promoting a culture of tolerance, but also making money."

Tang En said seriously: "The four major areas of making money are food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you want to make money, of course you have to find a way in this area. Don't you think there is a lot to be done with such a fresh dining method and style?"

Victor's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Seeing that Victor finally took the bait, Tang En was secretly relieved.

It’s so damn hard to have hotpot anytime, anywhere…
