Borrow the day to change the day

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself, wouldn't it be in vain to make foreigners cheaper.He immediately became unwilling, frowned into a "chuan", and said with a little helplessness: "Master Zhong, isn't this patent law a tasteless one?"

Before Zhong Jinwei answered, Wen Tiren on the side also shook his head and expressed his opinion: "There are no good measures to prevent people from other countries from gaining benefits for nothing. It is better not to use this patent law."

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at Wen Tiren, nodded slightly, and agreed with him.

"The reason why I didn't mention this patent law immediately just now is because I was thinking about this solution." Zhong Jinwei grinned a little, and then played to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Oh, Master Zhong, have you come up with a solution?" Seeing the smile on Zhong Jinwei's face, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help asking in surprise.

Wen Tiren behaved similarly, looking forward to Zhongxinghou's answer.Because he thought about it secretly for a while, but he couldn't think of a more feasible method.

I saw Zhong Jinwei nodded, still smiling and said: "I have thought of two solutions, one is to solve the short-term problem, and the other is a long-term solution."

When Wen Tiren heard that Marquis Zhongxing had come up with two methods, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He was one step ahead of Emperor Chongzhen and asked: "Marquis Zhongxing, what's your idea, tell me quickly."

Seeing that the two of them were looking forward to it, Zhong Jinwei didn't express his thoughts right away, and reminded him first: "But first, these two methods are not perfect, and they are just for your majesty and Lord Wen's reference. "

Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless, and hurriedly urged Zhong Jinwei to say: "Master Zhong, I know this, let me hear it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Jinwei agreed before getting to the point.

"The short-term solution is not to fully liberalize the production of cement. That is to say, the cement manufacturers will have their qualifications checked, and they will only be allowed to produce if they meet the conditions stipulated by the court. In this way, the occurrence of leaks can be slowed down."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren thought it was a temporary solution.

"For some technologies, if the impact is relatively large, the qualifications for manufacturers to apply for use will be stricter. That is to say, the patent law applies to a hierarchical confidentiality system."

Zhong Jinwei said this, thought for a while, and added: "In my hometown, the system is also like this."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, later generations would do the same, so that's not bad.

Wen Tiren paid more attention to the other solution. After Zhong Jinwei said the first solution, he stopped talking. Waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to express his opinion, he couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Marquis Zhongxing, what about the long-term solution? "

Emperor Chongzhen was about to open his mouth to comment, but upon hearing Wen Tiren's words, he immediately changed his tune and said, "That's right, Master Zhong, let's talk about another method."

Since the two bigwigs made such a request, Zhong Jinwei continued: "The second way is to bring his country into the patent laws of Ming Dynasty."

"This..." Wen Tiren heard it, and wanted to say that he couldn't say anything, feeling too unbelievable.

If it is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is reasonable to let foreigners obey my laws of the Ming Dynasty.But what is being discussed now is that someone stole the patent and produces it in their own country. How should this be handled?

Emperor Chongzhen, like Wen Tiren, was full of doubts. He asked Zhong Jinwei, "Master Zhong, what kind of method is this?"

Zhong Jinwei knew that both of them would have doubts, after all, this was something that never happened in ancient times.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen asked the question, he replied calmly: "It is to let other countries come to Ming Dynasty to apply for patents, and to ensure that their own countries will not infringe the patents protected in the Ming Dynasty Patent Law."

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, and after a while, he asked Zhong Jinwei, "Will they come?"

He felt incredible, it was a fool!However, the idea came from the mouth of Zhongxing Hou, and Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was something he hadn't thought of.

Sure enough, Zhong Jinwei kept his previous expression unchanged, and explained to him: "Why don't you come, as long as you give him enough benefits!"

Having said that, Wen Tiren still had doubts, and immediately asked Zhong Jinwei: "Marquis Zhongxing, how can we give them enough benefits? If you give them enough benefits, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us!"

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren when he heard the words, and saw that he was still puzzled, so he explained to him: "Of course Daming can't suffer, what he has to do is just win-win."

"Master Zhong, don't answer each question one by one, and tell the whole story of your thoughts in one breath!" Emperor Chongzhen demanded in a hurry.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard it, he couldn't irrigate it now, so forget it, and obeyed Emperor Chongzhen.

So, he turned to Emperor Chongzhen and began to explain in detail: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that the richest country in the world belongs to Ming Dynasty. All countries want to do business with Daming." business, earn a lot of money from Daming and go back. To paraphrase a saying from Chen’s hometown, Daming is the biggest market in the world.”

"Your Majesty, think about it, even if they only earn a penny per person, how much money will they earn if there are billions of people in Ming Dynasty?"

Zhong Jinwei habitually began to tease Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren again, but immediately remembered that he should finish speaking at once this time, so he hurriedly continued: "As long as other countries abide by the patent law of Ming Dynasty and apply for patents in Ming Dynasty, they can Allow Ming businessmen to use this patent and give them money."

"For example, if glass was invented in North Korea and applied for a patent in Ming Dynasty. Then the merchants of Ming Dynasty produced glass, and for every ten taels of silver sold, the Ming court received [-]%, the merchant received [-]%, and North Korea received [-]%. As for how many North Koreans invented glass, it is up to the North Korean government to decide.”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but questioned: "Master Zhong, wouldn't the person who invented glass lose a lot of money and come to Daming to apply for a patent after being divided of so much profit?"

Just after asking, he thought of Zhong Jinwei's previous analogy again, and couldn't help but think again.

"Your Majesty, this is easy to compare. Due to population and wealth reasons, the inventor could only sell ten pieces of glass in North Korea and get 100 taels of silver; but in Daming he was able to sell one hundred pieces of glass, and the final score was highest. 500 taels of silver. In the final analysis, this is where my Daming’s market is big enough and my purchasing power is strong enough.”

"In this way, Ming made money, the court made money, and the inventors made money. By the way, the people of Ming also have more products to choose from. In other words, doing this is good for everyone, He Le Why not!"

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren did not speak immediately, but thought carefully.After a long while, they agreed unanimously: "Good idea!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhong Jinwei added: "In fact, there are some indirect benefits, which are also good."
