Dimensional Code

Having said this, Fangzheng stretched out a finger.

"We can sign a magic contract—Mine Workshop can sign a contract with your Chamber of Commerce and give you three years of exclusive monopoly authorization. What do you think?"

"Three, three years?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's proposal, Benno was taken aback.

Didn't we talk about a one-time payment?

"And what about three years from now?"

"After three years, it will depend on the situation. If the paper sells well, then you can renew the contract. If the craftsmanship does not meet your requirements, there is no need to renew the contract."

"What happens if you don't renew the contract?"

"It's the same when we sell the ownership to other chambers of commerce."

"How does this work!"

Hearing this, Benno almost jumped up!

"why not?"

Fang Zheng chuckled, then leaned back on the sofa.

"I need to remind you, Mr. Banno, to be honest, I originally had a more convenient idea, that is to directly buy a chamber of commerce, which is dedicated to the manufacture and sale of goods from the Maine Workshop. You should also understand that, with me In terms of financial resources, this is not a problem. Moreover, you are not the only one of the chambers of commerce here. As long as I pay enough money, I can buy a chamber of commerce with more shops and greater influence, instead of odd Alberta is a newcomer who has just emerged. The reason why I am willing to talk to you is because you have a good relationship with Maine, and the two sides have a basis for cooperation...Do you understand now?"

"…………"

Hearing this, Banno stopped talking. As Fangzheng said, he could buy a merchant for Maine to play with. Anyway, he has plenty of money.And this old castle also proves that Fangzheng is not just talking nonsense, he has the money to buy any chamber of commerce in the city, even the largest...

The Chilbota Chamber of Commerce has only recently emerged. In terms of channels, sales capabilities and other aspects, it has no way to compete with those established chambers of commerce.

It is also because of this that Banno hopes to cooperate with Maine to make the chamber of commerce go further through this new papermaking process.

"However, even so, three years is too..."

"We also have our own considerations, Mr. Benno. To be honest, I doubt what you will do if you really acquire the ownership of the papermaking process."

"This... I don't understand what you mean."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Banno frowned.

"If the new papermaking process is really good, of course we will promote it. This will also bring considerable profits to our chamber of commerce."

"really?"

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Ben Nuo.

"What if you hide it in snow?"

"How can this be."

Hearing this, Benno suddenly laughed wryly.

"Master Fangzheng, you are just joking. If we can really have such a craft, it will be priceless!"

"Is it worth a thousand gold? Then ten thousand gold? What about one hundred thousand gold? If someone gives you one hundred thousand gold, why don't you continue to promote this papermaking craft?"

"This……………"

"Maybe this kind of thing won't happen at the beginning, but after the eroded traditional industries discover the problem, they may also do the same, and even put pressure on the top. At that time, can you persist?"

"This…………"

Facing Fangzheng's inquiry, this time, Banno finally stopped talking.On the contrary, Maine stared at Fangzheng with wide eyes.

"Will something like this happen again? Mr. Fangzheng."

"Of course, you can't guess the bottom line of capitalists."

Having said this, Fangzheng snorted. He said this is not groundless, but has actual cases.You must know that on the earth, the cost of synthesizing vitamin C used to cost several dollars, and the selling price was even more expensive.Then China invented a two-step method to produce vitamin C, which directly reduced the cost to a few cents.This frightened European and American pharmaceutical manufacturers crazy. They came to China almost grovelingly, tried every means to buy the patent for the two-step synthesis of vitamin C, and then locked it up.

Some people may ask, why don't they produce it in two steps, and then sell it at the original price?

The reason is simple. When the cost goes down and the output goes up, the price goes down.Not to mention that the new method requires replacement of equipment and training of personnel, all of which will cost money.Without competition, who wants to change the status quo and spend more money?

Then European and American pharmaceutical manufacturers turned to the two-step method until they squeezed out the last drop of value from the traditional production method and determined that it was really unprofitable.

The same is true for patents. Modern people regard patents as treasures, but in fact they are just a piece of waste paper.Indeed, patents protect the rights of inventors to some extent, but they are not complete protection.

For example, a small company has invented a patent that is equivalent to subverting the market. At this time, the small company must hope to use this to dominate the market.

So will those monopoly bosses of multinational companies watch?

of course not.

They will pay directly for the acquisition.

Is $100 million enough?Is a billion dollars enough? What about [-] billion?

Of course, small companies can also confidently say that we do not sell!This is our technology, we rely on it to open up the market!

Then what will those multinational companies do?

It's simple, copyright infringement.

Wait, infringement is illegal, right?

That's right, infringement is against the law, but you have to sue, and if someone sells it in dozens of countries at the same time, you have to sue in dozens of countries.

To file a lawsuit requires hiring a lawyer, and hiring a lawyer costs money.

Can your small company compare financial strength with multinational companies?

If people don't say anything, the lawyer team they raise can drag you down.

So what if he wins the case?Other people's lawyers can turn the corner and directly apply that this court has no jurisdiction and request a re-examination.

How many years will this take?

And in the time wasted by small companies, the infringing products of other multinational companies have swept across the five oceans and consolidated their own market.Maybe even the original market of your small company has been squeezed out.

Small companies can't even open the situation, so naturally there is only a dead end.

When you go bankrupt, what do you use to hire a lawyer and what do you use to sue?

Fang Zheng has seen this kind of thing a lot in the industry, and it was the same with the game console battle back then.The improvement and innovation of papermaking technology is an invention that can change the world. If no one opposes it, it will be hell.
