177 Subtle layouts
The next scene was naturally extremely hot, Li Tianyang watched a group of proprietors rush to Dong Haoran and discuss the order with him in detail, Li Tianyang knew that his purpose had been accomplished.
In fact, Li Tianyang knows very well that many of the products they are displaying now are not even formal factory workshops, and the actual output is frighteningly low, but this does not stop the proprietors' strong interest in these products and their belief in the commercial value behind their products.
Of course, Li Tianyang's actions are not considered to deceive these friends, except for pocket watches, which cannot be mass-produced because of the really top-notch manufacturing process, including bicycles, which are relatively sophisticated products, Hongmen has now been able to achieve mass production.
The only difficulty is that the raw materials are relatively difficult to collect.
The Americas, the origin of natural rubber, which is the only raw material for tires, was interrupted for a period of time due to the war between Hongmen and the Spaniards.
Fortunately, when Sun Juyong and they opened up the American route, the rubber purchased from the local natives accounted for the vast majority, and in order to get rid of the Spaniards, Sun Juyong also cleverly hired a few local guides who could communicate, even if there was no Acapulco port as a transit, Sun Juyong and they could find a channel to trade directly with the natives on the vast coastline of the Americas.
It's just that the risk is much greater, thanks to the influence of the Spaniards in the Americas, Sun Juyong and they want to have friendly exchanges with the locals, but unlike the Spaniards who discovered the American continent and were warmly accepted by the locals with a friendly attitude, they need more patience and patience to complete a transaction.
As for the rubber trees planted outside the port of Jingpu in Dayuan, the trees that can grow vigorously today are the only ones that have been used again and again in the past two years, regardless of seeds, and with the help of experienced agricultural experts in Hongmen, there is a forest land of good scale.
However, it will be several years before the rubber trees in Shizuura Port grow and can cut the rubber stock solution.
In the meantime, through Sun Juyong's knowledge of the climatic origin of rubber trees on the American continent, the agricultural talents of Hongmen found that the rubber tree species planted in many places on Qiongzhou Island were better than the restless growth of Jingpu Port.
The most suitable place for planting rubber trees is the Luzon Islands that Hongmen has just occupied, and its growth rate is more than twice as fast as that of Jingpu Island, which makes Li Tianyang and them originally did not plan to have too many layout ideas in the Luzon Islands, and finally opened up more than ten rubber gardens on the island with a scale of tens of thousands of acres because of rubber trees.
At the same time, this scale is still gradually and rapidly expanding, in order to lay out Hongmen's future demand for rubber in advance.
Of course, in the short term, these can not bring much help to Hongmen's mass production of bicycles, rain boots and other convenient products, Li Tianyang wants to mass produce products, but also has to rely on Sun Juyong They have more difficulty in purchasing rubber from the Americas, as well as the original Hongmen inventory.
And Dong Haoran obviously communicated with Li Tianyang about the specific production capacity of these new products, and when he talked with everyone in detail, he had already set the specific output of these products, anyway, it was just enough for Li Tianyang to leave the gold in Hongmen.
Sitting with Li Tianyang, there are also big business proprietors like Xu Haibin Xiang, they have a better relationship with Hongmen and have deep pockets, and they are not worried that Hongmen will not reserve products for themselves and others, but at this time they are chatting with Li Tianyang over tea.
"My lord is really a good means, the front foot distributes the profits, oh us, and the back foot you will earn all the money!"
Xu Haibin looked at the lively scene and talked with Li Tianyang enviously, and several other proprietors looked at all this with the same expression.
"Hahaha, our Qixintang is just to make some manual money, and the last big head is not earned by all of you? But to be honest, we are now mutually beneficial, and the bosses should not envy us coolies!! ”
Li Tianyang's expression that I actually didn't make much money made several proprietors here slander in their hearts.
He doesn't make much money, a delicate and clever pocket watch, although the Ming Dynasty in this era can be said to be the creation of heaven and earth, but your price is as high as thousands of taels of silver, even if it is Xu Haibin and their worth, it is quite painful!!
However, who let Hongmen master the principle of these technologies, not to mention that everyone imitates or does not imitate in the future, just when Hongmen laid out one step ahead of time, and put forward a technology patent in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, at least in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, it is really good, unless the members of the Chamber of Commerce authorize, other members are never allowed to imitate products, and even other imitation products outside are not allowed to buy and sell.
With the strength and status of Li Tianyang at that time, even if these member firms and gangs of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce dislike and disgust in their hearts, they can only pinch their noses and admit it, who makes most of the industries of these businesses in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce related to the ocean, then they have to rely on people to live by snorting.
Of course, Li Tianyang did not pay a price for this, not only authorized the gift of some outdated Hongmen product technology to everyone, but also because there were already imitation products at that time, Li Tianyang did not charge authorization fees, which was regarded as giving these mature technologies to everyone for free, and gave some sweetness to everyone.
Moreover, Li Tianyang's formulation of this patent right is not permanent, but like later generations, from the date of the product launch and the technology in the Chamber of Commerce, it will end in ten to twenty years, and then everyone will be able to imitate and produce it by themselves.
In this way, some measures that almost copied the patent law of later generations can be regarded as giving the miscellaneous families who have been suppressed by Confucianism in this era of the Ming Dynasty have development prospects and greater innovation momentum.
"But I'm hungry, there is a business here that everyone can make money together, but I don't know if the big bosses are interested?"
Suddenly, Li Tianyang had a somewhat seductive smile on his face, if he had the partner who grew up together since childhood, he would be able to know the treachery behind Li Tianyang's smile immediately.
"Oh, I don't know if you can talk to the old man or two, so that the old man can also know what kind of money-making business it is!"
Not only Xu Haibin, but also several other business owners and young proprietors also showed interested expressions, looking forward to what surprises Li Tianyang would bring to himself and others next.
Although Hongmen is strong, in the exchanges and trade with Hongmen over the years, the proprietors of Jirentang, Defuxuan and other businesses have to admit that they have really made a lot of money with Hongmen, and at the same time, they have not suffered any losses because of Hongmen, at least Hongmen did not intend to harm everyone.
