Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 410 Teaching Businessmen to Do Business
Originally, Zhu Han thought that after his words were finished, there would be applause.

In the end, he found that the businessmen looked at each other, as if they didn't quite understand what he meant.

I thought about it.

Zhu Han turned his head, pointed to the patent certificate and said to Zhang Fengnian: "Have you read it?"

Zhang Fengnian hurriedly nodded desperately, the content of this patent dealer is not particularly large, although there are some patent content, it is not particularly clear.

However, combined with the context, it is easy to guess the general idea.

The most important thing is that if Zhu Han really wanted to do something to him, he wouldn't have to bother to make so many things happen.

"Go back to the prince, the villain has finished reading everything, and the villain will sign now."

When the prince called him at this time, Zhang Fengnian immediately understood what Zhu Han meant.

Without further ado, he picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote his name in a fluttering motion.

Then also press the fingerprint.

After pressing it, it seemed that it was not appropriate, and he said to Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong beside him: "Brother Liu, Shen Xiong, we researched this formula together, you two should make your fingerprints together."

Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong, until now, are still somewhat top-heavy, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Ever since Shen Wansan paid 30 taels of silver, the two of them have been blinded, as if they were soaked in water.

Hearing Zhang Fengnian calling them, the two shook their heads subconsciously.

"Brother Zhang, I just helped a little. You can decide these things by yourself, and we both listen to you."

Shen Xiong also nodded repeatedly: "Me too."

Seeing that the expressions of the two of them were full of fear, Zhang Fengnian no longer insisted.

He directly said loudly: "In that case, then I will make the decision for the two brothers."

After finishing speaking, he directly raised three fingers and looked at everyone and said loudly: "This cement formula was researched by me, Zhang Fengnian, together with Liu Shitou, Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong."

"Today, I, Zhang Fengnian, swear here that no matter how much money this cement formula can earn, it will be shared equally by the four of us. If we violate this oath, I, Zhang Fengnian, will be beaten every day, and I will die!"

Now it is the Ming Dynasty, and there are still many people who believe in such things as swearing and swearing.

What's more, Zhang Fengnian still swears in front of so many people that if he does something in the future, he will be sorry to them.

Even if he didn't keep his oath, he would be drowned by other people's spitting stars in the future.

"Well done, I, Lin, admire a person like you who promises everything."

"If Zhang Fengnian has a chance in the future, I will definitely have a drink with you."

Many businessmen present began to admire Zhang Feng's character.

Zhu Han looked at it with a smile, Zhang Fengnian, if he hadn't investigated his details long ago.

And what he did basically has no shadow of the people of later generations.

Zhu Han almost wondered if this guy was also a time traveler.

Self-marketing is quite like a business tycoon in later generations.Today, if the reputation is spread, no matter what business Zhang Fengnian does in the future, there will be many people to help him.

Even if one day is unlucky and loses everything, they can make a comeback in a short period of time.

For no other reason, did Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan look at Zhang Fengnian with admiration?

Unlike other people, both Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan could tell that what Zhang Fengnian played just now was just for show.

But having said that, whether it's a show or not, the real money has been given out solidly.

If it is said that giving Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong dividends is a sign of loyalty, but giving a craftsman the same dividends, and it is still divided equally, this kind of mind is really unusual.

This person not only has a long-term vision, but also knows how to advance and retreat.Such a person is definitely worth investing in.

Zhu Han didn't care what twists and turns were going on in these people's minds.

He directly lifted up the patent authorization letter that Zhang Fengnian had just signed.

This is just great.

Anyone with better eyesight can already see clearly what the specific formula of this cement is.

When he was concentrating on memorizing the formula, Zhu Han smiled and said, "You may not understand what a patent really means."

"This king will use the patent document on cement formula that Zhang Fengnian just signed as an example."

"As long as the imperial court approves the issuance of this patent, then in all the territory controlled by Ming Dynasty, this patent will be protected by the laws of Ming Dynasty."

"Anyone, as long as they use the formula in this patent." Zhu Han patted the patent certificate lightly.

"It is necessary to pay a certain patent royalty to the owner of the patent. As for how much this fee is, it needs to be decided by the patent holder."

After listening to Zhu Han's words, someone couldn't help asking: "But my lord, if we have to pay several thousand taels of silver for one use, do we have to pay too?"

Zhu Han nodded his head as a matter of course: "Of course you have to pay, otherwise you are violating the law of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are caught by the government, you will be fined at least, or sent to hard labor."

All the merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, it was fine if Zhu Han didn't explain, he explained it like this.How do the merchants feel, just like the Mongolian Yuan in the previous dynasty, what about those wonderful taxes?
If you use some cement, you will pay a thousand taels of silver. Why is it like calendar money? Originally, it was only used to record farming time, but it was later confiscated by the Mengyuan government.

Seeing their weird expressions, Zhu Han smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please be clear, the patent certificate only protects the things produced by using these patents."

When the businessmen heard this, they all became energetic.

This His Royal Highness obviously has something to say.

When Zhu Han spoke, he raised the patent higher: "You have seen this patent clearly. From today on, no one is allowed to use it at will except Zhang Fengnian and those authorized by Zhang Fengnian. Written on it, concrete made of cement and cinder."

"Imperial officials, yamen servants, Jinyiwei and other departments will always patrol and will not tolerate any discovery."

"However, everyone must understand that the imperial court only prohibits the random use of this formula. If you use cement normally, or if you use other things instead of cinders to make concrete, naturally there is no patent infringement, and the imperial court will not care about you."

"Someone asked before, what if the patent holders set too high a patent fee and you can't afford it?"

"That's not easy, you just don't use it? This king still doesn't believe that a living person can be suffocated to death by urine."

Only then did the businessmen suddenly realize.

"So that's the case. If this is the case, the impact is actually not particularly large."

Some people greedily licked their tongues: "But if you can really apply for a patent, wouldn't you be able to make money while lying down?"

"It's a good idea. The authority of this patent is only 50 years. After 50 years, there will be no patent fees. By then, everyone will be able to use it?"

All of a sudden, the expressions of the merchants became extremely exciting.

Some were happy, some were depressed, and many people frowned in thought, as if they were weighing pros and cons.

"My lord, I have a doubt, please enlighten me." Zhang Fengnian suddenly bowed deeply to Zhu Han and asked.

He has just won the patent, and now is the time to attract attention.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Say!" Zhu Han looked at him with a smile.

This guy Zhang Fengnian turned his hands into clouds and rain today, even if he is a prince, he is not as popular as Zhang Fengnian.

He wants to see what tricks the guy can play.

In other words, Zhu Han sincerely hoped that Zhang Fengnian could play some tricks again.

The more sensational this matter is, the more conducive it is to the spread of patent strategies.

Zhang Fengnian cleared his throat: "The villain wants to ask the prince... whether this patent can only be owned by the villain within 50 years?"

Most people didn't understand what he meant by his question.

Only a few people's eyes lit up, and soon their eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Especially people like Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan felt as if they were getting an electric shock, and their whole body was numb.

Immediately looked up at Zhu Han eagerly, hoping that Zhu Han could tell the answer in their hearts.

If it is possible to do so...

For big businessmen like them with strong capital, this is simply great news.

Zhu Han didn't let them down, he smiled and nodded and replied, "Of course not, if you don't want to keep flowing, you can also sell your patents directly to others."

Now all the businessmen understood that the patent could still be sold.That is to say, you don't have to make something yourself, you can also buy it directly from the craftsman.

Moreover, they soon realized that those craftsmen had a completely different understanding of wealth from theirs.

In other words, they can purchase patents at a relatively low price.

Some people have already begun to figure out in their minds where to start.

Zhu Han added at this time: "Zhang Fengnian, since you are the first person to apply for a patent in Yanjing, I will give you some pointers."

"Although the imperial court will not prevent you from selling patents, when you sell them, you'd better think clearly and don't let yourself be fooled."

"For example, you can directly sell all the rights and interests of the patent. In this case, the patent has nothing to do with you at all."

Seeing that Zhang Fengnian still didn't quite understand, Zhu Hanji continued, "That is to say, even if you want to use this formula yourself, you still need to pay the patent fee to the new patent holder."

Zhang Fengnian nodded solemnly, it seems that he did not think of this before.

Zhu Han changed the subject: "Of course, you can also set conditions in advance when selling. For example, you have the right to use it yourself, or have the right to share dividends, etc."

The reason for saying all this is to avoid detours for these businessmen.

After all, the more perfect the patent right is, the easier it will be for the court to manage and the more benefits it will bring.

As soon as Zhu Han finished speaking, Shen Wansan raised his hand impatiently: "50 taels!"

Zhang Fengnian didn't realize it for a while, why is it only 50 taels?

Zhou Gushan said disdainfully: "Shen Wansan, don't pretend to be a rich man if you don't have money. Just 50 taels, you just want to buy the patent of this formula, what is your dream?"

"Old man, I will pay fifty...5 taels."

Shen Wansan rolled his eyes and said, "I thought you were going to pay 100 million taels with such a big tone, but it turned out to be that little money? Five... 56 taels!"

The two started bidding again.

Someone sneered with disdain: "Anyway, he is also a wealthy businessman in Ming Dynasty. Don't you think it's too embarrassing to just add 1 taels to 1 taels?"

Immediately, someone retorted: "It's really a toad yawning, what a big tone. A price increase is 1 taels. If you have the ability to figure out whether you are worth 1 taels of silver, then go on and brag."

The person who uttered wild words immediately shrank his neck and stopped speaking.

Zhou Gushan raised the price again, and after Shen Wansan followed up and shouted 58 taels, there was no movement.

Zhu Han glared at the two of them angrily: "Why do you two pinch each other as soon as you meet? How big are you?"

Shen Wansan and the two of them just laughed together in embarrassment.

The two of them are fighting for real, but isn't this a means of self-protection?
Shen Wansan's business expanded rapidly with the expansion of Daming's territory.

Not to mention Zhou Gushan, the sea trade routes he has mastered have almost reached one-fifth of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the imperial court, the two of them were the richest people.

If these two businessmen with huge business empires are as close as siblings...

How could the imperial court rest assured?

And they are just businessmen, if the court really wants to deal with them, they don't even have the ability to resist.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhu Han scolded indifferently: "Zhang Fengnian hasn't decided to sell it yet, so you two started fighting first, let's see how good you are."

Zhang Fengnian hesitated for a moment, bowed deeply to Zhu Han, and then bowed in the direction of Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan in the same way.

"My lord, Boss Shen and Boss Zhou, the matter is very important, can you allow the villain to discuss it, please rest assured, the villain will definitely reply to you within a cup of tea at most."

"Okay! Ben Wang happens to have nothing to do today, so let's witness this, our first patent transfer in Ming Dynasty."

Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan naturally had no reason to refuse and nodded their heads.

The first thing Zhang Fengnian did was not to discuss with Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong, but to call over a little girl from Jufenglou.

Throwing money to Xiaoer: "Brother, please go to my construction site and call Master Liu Shitou over."

They are also frequent visitors here, Xiao Er is naturally very familiar with them.

"Master Zhang, wait a moment, the villain will come back as soon as he goes." After taking the money, he ran out of Jufeng Tower in a hurry.

Not long after, he brought back a man in his early thirties with dark skin and weathered face.

Although it can be seen that this person is only in his 30s, but the appearance of the vicissitudes of life is said to be more than four, I am afraid some people believe it.

"Boss, did you call me?" Liu Shitou was still a little nervous when he saw so many people, and kept rubbing his clothes with his palms.
