Chapter 947: Tangled

Since ancient times, there have been many century-old brands, and their family inheritance can be far more than three generations, or even more than ten or dozens of generations are very common, relying on monopoly technology that is not known to outsiders.

For example, there are too many time-honored brands in traditional Chinese medicine, snacks, wine, meat, etc., and these time-honored brands can be more recognized by people, so that they can prosper from generation to generation, and even become bigger and bigger, so that their children and grandchildren can become richer than themselves.

In other words, every time-honored brand has a certain monopoly nature, and they all have some technology and experience that outsiders cannot master, so that their children and grandchildren can benefit immensely.

For example, what are the ingredients of snacks, as long as the owner of the time-honored brand knows, how to manage and manage it is also the experience passed down from the ancestors, which is unknown and unknown to outsiders.

Of course, in the atmosphere of ancient times, the most powerful is the scholarly family, that is, the ancestors have been reading for generations, then the most powerful, however, the skills of reading are different from other skills, is not too monopolistic, if the descendants are not angry, the brain is too stupid, then it is troublesome, it may not be able to inherit the mantle of the ancestors, thus causing the decline of the family.

And many time-honored brands are different, such as selling roast duck, what kind of ingredients are needed for seasoning, how to proportion, as long as you remember clearly, if you are not a fool and a stunned, you should be able to grasp it, so the chance of passing it on is relatively large.

Li Linfu is very good at being an official, and he has achieved the highest official position, but this technology is difficult to maintain for future generations, he has many sons, but none of them have become talents, at most they are just a petty official, and the grandchildren can't see any talents, and it is too difficult to let his children and grandchildren always maintain the position of high-ranking officials.

And if you give future generations a technology that no one else can master, it will be completely different, and future generations will have a monopoly business, which can be passed down from generation to generation, and the family will become more and more prosperous, so for the benefit of future generations, he must fight hard.

Li Xiu couldn't persuade his father, so he had to do it according to his father's wishes, otherwise, if those younger brothers couldn't eat enough in the future, it would not be good to run around every day to eat and drink, and once he could really open a workshop, he would also have a share.

There is nothing difficult about starting a workshop, as long as you have the technology provided by Ang Lee, the workshop can be opened, and starting a workshop needs someone to manage, if you open a few more in different regions, you need more people to manage, after the production of products, you also need to sell, one point of sale is definitely not enough, you need multiple points of sale together.

In this way, different workshops and a large number of sales points need someone to take care of them, and Li Linfu has so many incompetent sons, it is quite appropriate for one person to be responsible for a node, in this way, all sons have something to do, and the grandchildren will not have too many problems, as for the three or five generations later, he can't manage too much, at least, the main house can continue to continue.

All these fantasies are considered on the premise that there is no accident, and in case of an accident, all his efforts will be in vain, according to historical records, after Li Linfu's death, he was turned out of a large number of crimes, so he was greatly disposed of, and his descendants were affected, and many descendants were sent to remote areas.

However, now that Li Linfu is still alive, he definitely doesn't know that his children and grandchildren will be assigned after his death, if he knows this kind of thing in advance, he will not be in the mood to think about making a living for his descendants.

In many mansions in the capital, the magnates are thinking about how to share this piece of the pie, and they are beginning to consider the possibility of living this technology themselves according to their own strength.

The more powerful nobles want to get the top three alone, so as to obtain this technology alone and become the three-legged party, while the weaker magnates are considering whether they can unite with the rest of the nobles and work together to win the technology, and then, according to the amount of capital contribution, the benefits will be distributed.

Of course, there are aristocrats with greater appetites, who want to plan a monopoly on this battery technology, for example, they can use all their strength to occupy the top three alone, so that they can not obtain the technology alone, of course, the products produced can be called by three names, so that outsiders look like three, in fact, the powerful behind it is the same person.

However, it is not so easy to monopolize it, because there are too many powerful people in Datang, and no one can figure out how many chips the other party has, and it is not easy to get the top three. It seems too unrealistic.

And the smart magnates have begun to plan the greatest possibility, that is, to find the other two, the three work together, each to get a place, so that after the three get the top three, they can completely monopolize the battery technology, and then how to distribute the benefits, that is the internal matter of the three of them, as long as there is no price war, the three can get benefits.

For this reason, the capital has recently become lively, and many nobles who were not very mobile have begun to move around, and they have tested the possibility of cooperation with each other, and when there is a possibility of cooperation, they have started negotiations to discuss how to win this technology.

Of course, there are also some who want to be opportunistic, such as visiting Ang Lee and asking what the reserve price is and whether they can buy additional technology.

For these opportunistic people, Ang Lee's attitude is also very clear, that is, he disagrees with a word, and the rejection is very thorough, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

At this moment, although Ang Lee has developed the battery, however, in order to carry out low-cost large-scale production, it is necessary to continue practical research and development, and research and development requires funds.

For opportunistic people, Ang Lee dislikes it very much, however, there are some people who come to ask questions sincerely, for such people, Ang Lee is welcome, as long as he can answer, he will definitely answer.

"Li Shilang, the battery technology is in your hands, you said that you want to choose three, but if this technology leaks out, the people who spend money to buy it will not lose a lot."

One asked.

Li An smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, although the technology of the battery is not too complicated, but it is not so simple, as long as I don't say it, the person who buys the technology does not say it, the average person really can't get it, in addition, even if you get it, it's useless, as long as the court determines the three, it will give the three manufacturing rights in the name of the court, and the rest of the people will go to jail if they make batteries without authorization, even if they violate the law, they will go to jail, which is like selling illicit salt, of course, there is the most important point, that is, the cost issue." Although the manufacture of batteries is not difficult, only large-scale manufacturing can dilute the cost, if someone steals some technology in their own home to make a small processing workshop, it is estimated that the cost of the battery is several times that of the large workshop, so, where there will be a competitive advantage, it will definitely lose money. ”

After speaking, he looked at these people who were puzzled.

After listening to Ang Lee's explanation, everyone was relieved, so that they could compete for this important technology that could bring benefits to them without any scruples.

Of course, there will not be many successful among them, after all, there are only three places, and the opportunity is really rare.

"Li Shilang, if we buy this technology, what if we can't learn it, are you personally teaching us how to do it?"

One asked.

Li An shook his head and said: "The overall technology, I will write it on paper, and the specific technology, I have handed over to different subordinates, they will teach your craftsmen separately, in this way, each craftsman can only learn a certain part of the technology, and it is not clear how to make the whole, unless all the craftsmen are all betrayed, so that the problem of technology leakage will occur, I believe that you have a vision, will not choose a person with a backbone, of course, I just said, The most important thing is the question of cost and compliance with the law, and all, as long as it is done properly, there will not be much of a problem. ”

"Li Shilang, there is another question for the little one, how much money can you earn in a year in this business? If you can't get back your roots in ten years, wouldn't it be a big loss. ”

Someone else asked.

Li An said with a smile: "I can't answer this question, I can't be sure how much money I can make, it depends on the demand of the market, it is not easy to determine, and the cost is not easy to calculate, after all, the one with the highest price will sell it to whom." ”

"Li Shilang, this time to sell the technology of batteries, is it the first time or the last time, will other technologies be sold to individuals in the future, such as the technology of automobiles, will they be sold to individuals responsible for production?"

Someone else asked.

Li An thought for a moment and replied: "This is not something I can say, it depends on the meaning of the court, it depends on the meaning of the court!" ”

Obviously, these people hope that the imperial court can sell more technology to individuals, and if the imperial court is responsible for everything, the effect is really not very good, the efficiency is too low, and it is easy to breed corruption.

In the civilized society of later generations, eating empty pay is a very common phenomenon, of course, this situation mainly appears in the ranks of the imperial court, ordinary private bosses will never let people eat empty salary, unless the empty salary is the little beauty raised by the boss, then it is another matter.

And in the team supported by the imperial court, there are too many people who eat empty salaries, anyway, it is the money of the imperial court, what is wrong with being a favor, and I will get a good benefit fee, and there is no loss at all.

The imperial courts of all eras will choose to crack down on these empty guys, but the effect of the crackdown is very unsatisfactory, and there are a large number of these ugly phenomena in all eras, which have become a stubborn disease in the imperial courts of various eras.

For example, in the later period of many dynasties, there is often a strange phenomenon that tens of thousands of troops cannot defeat hundreds of rebel armies, among them, in addition to insufficient training, there is also a very important reason, that is, the actual number of the army is far less than as reported below, the actual number of soldiers in the barracks rated at 10,000 troops, it is very likely that there are only two or three thousand soldiers, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, who have no combat effectiveness at all, but the military salary is received according to 10,000 people, In the end, they all went into the general's pocket.

This was also the case in other imperial departments, and the later it was in the later stages of the dynasty, the more common it became, and the demise of the imperial court was inevitable, and no one was capable of saving such a court.

The Tang Dynasty handed over the emerging technology of batteries to private individuals in order to reduce the burden on the court and reduce the problems of empty wages and corruption.

These people asked a lot of questions, and after getting a serious answer from Ang Lee, they all left satisfied, maybe they already had a score in their hearts! How to choose, they must think carefully.

Battery technology is only the first breakthrough, in the future, there may be better and more profitable technology to sell to ordinary private individuals, if the first time to fight too much money, when there is better technology in the future, it is not a lack of money to invest.

This kind of tangled emotion is like the future generations of buyers, when the house price is rising, they want to buy, but they are worried that the house price will fall after buying, and at the same time worry that if they don't buy, the house price will become higher, so it will cost more money to afford it, whether to buy it, or wait and see for a while before buying? Such a tangled problem is indeed very annoying, causing many people to suffer from insomnia and palpitations, which seriously affects people's physical health.

After the future generations buy a house, if the house price falls, many people will gather together to smash the place where the real estate is sold to vent their dissatisfaction.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, the battery technology is openly sold by the imperial court, whether it is to make money or lose money, they can only admit it, this is their own choice, there is no chance of regret, who dares to argue with the imperial court, that is, they simply don't want to live.

Therefore, these businessmen must think twice, because there is no regret medicine to take, they must be prepared to judge how much benefit this technology can bring to themselves, and even, they have to consider whether there will be more affordable technology to sell to businessmen in the future.

For example, if the railway is sold to private individuals according to the line, whoever buys it can take a big advantage, and the same is true of automobile technology, and whoever can buy it can make a fortune.
