All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era
Chapter 817 and 818 The End of the Book
Cong Chengxi knew that his daughter was used to living a frugal life, so even if he was buying a wedding house for his son, the standard should be just enough, not too big or luxurious.
There was no need for him to argue with his daughter about this matter. He just said, "What kind of house to buy, how big it is, and how much it will cost in the end, you can discuss it among yourselves. I won't get involved.
I just want to remind you not to interfere too much with the children's ideas in this matter. After all, marriage is the most important thing in life, and our family is not short of money, so there is no need to be frugal on such a big thing as buying a house."
"I will discuss this with my children and will definitely satisfy them, but they won't spend 10,000 yuan on a house. That's too extravagant."
A person's ideas are not so easy to change, and Cong Qiuhui does not think there is anything wrong with her ideas.
Regarding the cost standard for buying a house, Yue Wenxuan did not interrupt, and even Yue Lingxuan did not express his own suggestions.
For Yue Wenxuan, he can pay for whatever kind of house he wants to buy in the future, so his grandfather definitely won't have to pay for it, and naturally he doesn't need to ask for other people's opinions.
For Yue Lingxuan, the fact that his grandfather was willing to pay for his wedding house was already a huge surprise.
Limited by his current vision and surrounding environment, he does not have high requirements for the wedding house at this moment. Just like his mother said, at most two or three thousand yuan should be enough to buy a very good wedding house. He does not dare to have any bigger extravagant demands now.
Besides, he is still a freshman in college and there are still a few years before he graduates and gets married. For the time being, it is enough to have a plan to buy a wedding house. He is not afraid of Yue Wenxuan competing with him for it. Since he doesn't need it now, he is not in a hurry.
Yue Lingxuan and Yue Ruoyin are both boarding students. Although they both want to spend more time with their grandfather, they have to rush back to school before dark.
Yue Wenxuan lives in the school dormitory, so he was not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory after dinner. He had something very important to discuss with his grandfather today, and he didn't want to let others know.
He waited until Yue Lingxuan and Yue Ruoyin left before he said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we go to your room to talk?"
"Let's go then."
Cong Chengxi is a very open-minded person. Besides, he attaches great importance to his grandson Yue Wenxuan and wants to hear what he has to say.
The two sat down in the room, and Yue Wenxuan got straight to the point: "Grandpa, I invented two patents in my spare time. I would like to ask you to find someone to help me apply for a global patent, but I can't afford the application fee for the time being, so I have to ask you to advance it. Do you think it is convenient for you to do it?"
“It shouldn’t be difficult to do. I should be able to find a suitable client or agency in Hong Kong Island, and I can also advance the patent fee for you.
But if you plan to apply for global patents, and two at that, the patent application fee alone will probably not be a small amount.
I have no problem paying for you, but you have to be sure it is necessary.
Can I ask what two patents you applied for? "
Since Yue Wenxuan wanted his grandfather to help with this matter, he would certainly not hide anything from him.
He took out the two patent applications he had prepared long ago, handed them to Grandpa and said:
“Here is the detailed patent application description, you can take a look at the drawings.
The two patents I want to apply for are: a two-wheeled roller trolley suitcase and a universal four-wheeled trolley suitcase patent.
These two patents are very practical and not difficult to manufacture. Once they are put into production and promoted, the economic benefits will be considerable.”
Cong Chengxi didn't say anything. After taking the patent application instructions, he began to read it in detail.
The drawings of Yue Wenxuan's patent application are very standard and clear. They are not very complicated and even ordinary people can understand them.
After reading the patent description in detail, Cong Chengxi showed a look of surprise on his face and was deeply shocked.
Just as Yue Wenxuan said, these two invention patents are not difficult to manufacture, but the creativity and practicality contained in them are amazing.
The design of the two-wheeled roller trolley suitcase cleverly eliminates the bulkiness and inconvenience of traditional suitcases. The simple double-wheel design combined with the ergonomic trolley not only greatly reduces the burden when dragging, but also achieves a qualitative leap in flexibility.
The universal four-wheel trolley suitcase takes convenience to a new level. The four wheels can rotate in all directions, which further advances the practicality of the suitcase, making it more energy-saving and convenient to use.
Cong Chengxi's eyes moved between the drawings, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement. Scientists like him not only study cutting-edge technology, but are also very sensitive to the practicality of technology.
The ideas of these two patents are groundbreaking. If they can be successfully applied for and put into production, they will surely trigger a revolution in the luggage industry, not only bringing unprecedented convenience to travelers, but also huge market potential and economic benefits.
"Wenxuan, your ideas are really great!" Cong Chengxi praised sincerely, "These are not just two patents, in my opinion, they are two gold mines. I believe that once these two patented inventions are put on the market, they will definitely change people's travel methods and will soon become star products in the market."
Cong Chengxi never expected that his grandson could have such creative thinking, and couldn't help asking:
"Wenxuan, how did you come up with these two groundbreaking inventions?"
Yue Wenxuan smiled slightly, with confidence flashing in his eyes: "Grandpa, in fact, these inspirations all come from life.
Every time I see people struggling to move with heavy suitcases at a station, I always think, how great it would be if there were a design that could make a suitcase as flexible as a person.
So, I started to think about it, draw blueprints, and conduct repeated experiments, and finally I got today’s results.”
After hearing this, Cong Chengxi was impressed by Yue Wenxuan. A truly great invention often comes from a deep understanding and careful observation of life. And Yue Wenxuan obviously has such qualities.
No one else has ever thought about this problem, but Yue Wenxuan has thought about it and can solve it perfectly. This is the biggest difference between inventors and ordinary people.
"Wenxuan, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely help you with this matter. I will contact the most professional patent agency in Hong Kong as soon as possible to help you apply for a global patent.
As for the expense, you don’t have to worry. Grandpa will pay for it first. It’s not giving it to you for free, and you don’t have to have any psychological burden. It won’t be too late to pay him back when you have income in the future.
With these two groundbreaking inventions, I believe you will be able to earn a fortune very quickly. The little money I paid in advance is insignificant, and I am not worried that you will not be able to pay it back in the future."
Cong Chengxi was so happy that he couldn't help joking with his grandson.
“I also believe that these two patents can earn me a fortune. I can’t say how much more, but I can still imagine a few million dollars.
It is precisely because the interests involved in these two patents are so huge that you must take this into consideration when looking for a professional agency. You must take due precautions and never let others steal your rights during the entrustment process. "
Although Yue Wenxuan believed in his grandfather's ability, he was still a little worried because the interests involved in these two patents were too huge.
The main reason is that these two patents are too special. Even people who don't have much economic sense can see the huge benefits contained in them after reading the patent application description. As the saying goes, benefits move people's hearts. No matter at which link, as long as someone has the wrong thoughts, it may bring huge risks to this patent application.
"Don't worry, I will entrust this matter to your uncle to handle it personally.
Your uncle has become a senior executive at HSBC, so he must have the necessary brains and defensive mentality. I believe he is capable of handling this matter well.
I would like to remind you again to make sure there are no problems. "
Yue Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "If I leave this matter to my uncle, I will certainly feel relieved.
Do you think this will work? After applying for the patent, I will still need a patent licensing agent. If my uncle is willing to be this agent, that would be the best. This way I will feel more at ease.
The broker's commission can be 10% of the patent authorization. I can't say how much more it will be, but at least the income of several hundred thousand US dollars is guaranteed."
A profit of several hundred thousand US dollars is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. Even if Yue Wenxuan's uncle is a senior executive of HSBC, he would definitely be tempted.
Cong Chengxi has been engaged in scientific research. Although he does not have much economic acumen, he can still see the bright prospects of these two patents.
Yue Wenxuan did not think that what he said was bragging. He also felt that it was very likely to be realized. If it was handled well, the benefits would be even more than that.
He was very clear about his eldest son's income situation. Faced with a profit of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if he ignored family ties and only looked at the benefits, he believed that his eldest son would be tempted.
Moreover, he knew that his eldest son was a very sentimental person. Even if Yue Wenxuan did not give him such a high agent commission, his eldest son would definitely do his best to help Yue Wenxuan get the matter done so as not to harm his interests.
"I will convey your intention to your uncle, and I believe he will be happy to help you with this matter.
As for the agent's commission, he may not want it so high, but this is a matter between the two of you. You can communicate in letters or on the phone in the future, and I will not get involved. "
Since hundreds of thousands of dollars were involved, Cong Chengxi did not refuse the commission given by Yue Wenxuan on behalf of his eldest son. He only cared about whether the matter could be done. As for the distribution of benefits, he would not participate.
"Grandpa, the interests involved in these two patents are too great, and there is no precedent in China, so I haven't told my family about this matter. I think it's better to keep it secret for the time being and not make it public.
When I really make money in the future, I will slowly tell my parents about it, so that they won’t be worried and uneasy after knowing this.
After all, there is a huge difference between the situation in our country and Hong Kong Island. If a person is too rich, it is not a good thing, it will only scare the family members. "Yue Wenxuan reminded.
Cong Chengxi also agreed, "The situation in China is indeed different from that in Hong Kong Island, and your concerns are very necessary.
It's OK for us to just keep this between us, and I won't mention it to your parents, so just don't let it slip out."
According to the original plan, Cong Chengxi had intended to delay for a few more days before returning to Hong Kong Island. Now with Yue Wenxuan's entrustment, after this exchange lecture, Cong Chengxi no longer delayed and quickly returned to Hong Kong Island.
A few days after Cong Chengxi returned to Hong Kong Island, Yue Wenxuan received a letter from his uncle.
In the letter, my uncle promised to help him with the patent application and was willing to be his agent. However, he was not prepared to ask for a 10% agent's commission because the profits involved were relatively large. He felt that 5% was already considerable.
A 10% commission for brokers is a relatively appropriate figure. Yue Wenxuan cares about safety. As long as there is no problem, he would be happy even if the commission is a little higher.
Under his insistence, Yue Wenxuan's uncle no longer refused.
Yue Wenxuan's uncle is a very capable man. Under his supervision, things went smoothly and there were no unexpected situations in the patent application.
After obtaining patents from various countries, Yue Wenxuan's uncle first made more than a dozen samples of trolley suitcases. After having the samples, it would be more intuitive to discuss the patent authorization of the suitcases.
When major luxury brands received the samples sent by Yue Wenxuan's uncle, they basically attached great importance to them and took the initiative to start licensing negotiations.
After the first round of negotiations, the total licensing fees for the sixteen brands reached nearly four million US dollars.
After receiving the news, Yue Wenxuan did not ask his uncle to send the money back to China. He had other uses for the money.
This amount of money is not small, and it can be regarded as Yue Wenxuan's first pot of gold to start his business empire.
It was already 1979, and the silver and gold markets experienced huge fluctuations that year. With this money, Yue Wenxuan had the capital to intervene in the silver and gold markets.
If Yue Wenxuan went abroad during this period and operated this fund by himself, taking advantage of the huge turbulence in the silver and gold markets, his final profit would definitely be in the billions of dollars.
But Yue Wenxuan was not prepared to do so.
The profit opportunities in the silver and gold markets this time are indeed rare, but Yue Wenxuan is not short of opportunities to make money. With the start-up capital, he can make a lot of money at any time if necessary.
Under the current policy, no matter how much money he makes overseas, it is difficult for his life in China to change much. For him now, stability is more important, and there is no need to rush to make money.
He would not miss this excellent opportunity to make money. Although he could not maximize the profits from the money, it was still no problem to make a lot of money easily.
Yue Wenxuan's uncle was originally a senior executive of HSBC, so it was also a good choice to operate the money through him. However, because of the pursuit of safety, it was naturally not as good as Yue Wenxuan's own operation to earn more.
After the silver and gold markets stabilized, the funds in Yue Wenxuan's overseas accounts still reached more than 40 million US dollars, which was also an extremely astonishing figure.
In this life, Yue Wenxuan did not pursue economic achievements too much, but there were too many opportunities for him to make money. He just seized a few opportunities and became one of the richest people in the world.
What he cares more about is his literary achievements.
The 1980s was the heyday of domestic literature, and he seized this opportunity. He achieved success and fame in the country very early on and became a leading figure in the new era of domestic literary world.
After achieving success in the domestic literary world, Yue Wenxuan began to focus on the world literary world and published a number of novels that have had a wide influence around the world.
In the late 1980s, he won a number of world-class awards including the French Prix Goncourt. After entering the 1990s, he even won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the highest award in literature!
PS: I haven’t been feeling well recently and almost stopped updating several times, but I persisted and continued writing until now.
I have written more than three million words and my inspiration is almost exhausted, so this book ends here. I will publish a new book as soon as I recover a little bit, so please continue to support me!
