"Thank you, and good afternoon. We would like to thank the elites of German science and culture for attending this salon. Crown Prince Frederick began to give an enthusiastic speech.

"After the absence of the first scientific revolution after the Renaissance, after nearly sixty years of this century, we Germans are now catching up with the development trend of this world. I can even proudly announce to the world that it is the German scientists who are leading this new century with their great scientific discoveries, and this is an era that belongs to the minds of the German people! ”

"The German Empire is a country created collectively by all Germans, belonging to all Germany, and is the home of all Germans. At a time when German scientists are using science to transform the world and create a new civilization, as a German public servant, I will do my best to defend the intellectual achievements of German scientists and do my best to ensure that these achievements benefit Germany and all mankind. ”

"Today, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on patent protection and patent translation in Germany."

As his father explained his views one by one, Joey was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the views he had told a few days ago, there were also his father's own new views, and Joey realized what his father, who had been busy in the study for the past few days, was thinking.

"I believe that all those who study and study in Germany should be treated equally by the Reich, on an equal footing with German scientists, and that the patent results of their research should be protected by the Reich, as well as the wealth and honour that comes with the transformation of patents. There is no doubt that every scientific researcher in the empire is treated equally! ”

"I will also ask the Parliament to set up a special fund to finance the education and research of talented people in Germany, whether they come from home or abroad, and if anyone here thinks he is talented, Germany will welcome him."

"I would also propose that the existing scientific fields be divided into applied sciences and basic sciences according to the nature of science. The empire will focus its state funding on basic science research, and the empire will also encourage domestic private funds or enterprises to focus on applied science, and how to quickly transform applied science into production technology will be the main direction of investment for private investors and business owners. ”

"I will also encourage German companies, foundations and even individuals to cooperate with German universities and scientists to form a German scientific research team, and I hope that universities will focus on teaching and educating people, and scientific research will focus on scientific research."

"Hereby I pledge that for the transformation of patents of special importance, I will propose appropriate tax incentives and policy support for patent users as state support for patents of special importance."

"In terms of the transformation of basic science achievements, in addition to the principle that I just proposed, requiring users to pay at least 10% of the pre-tax operating profit every year to pay the transfer fee, and the distribution principle of 16% + 84% of the transfer fee for patent owners, I will propose to give appropriate tax reduction or tax exemption to the discoverer of basic science theory and the research institution where he works. Please don't mind, my preference for basic science, after all, I think everyone knows that without the foundation of basic science, there is no high-rise building of applied science, and the height of the floor depends on whether the foundation is strong or not. ”

Joey looked at his father's eloquent figure in the salon and laughed from the bottom of his heart, the world was finally affected by himself.

At this time in history, a large number of German scientists immediately devoted themselves to industry after a little scientific research results, and no longer continued to engage in scientific research, the most important reason for which was poverty. For example, Dr. Behring, a student of Professor Koch, completely lost the motivation to continue scientific research in 1894 after the diphtheria antitoxin earned him a lot of money, and even did not hesitate to turn against his mentor, Professor Koch.

If these scientists, who have devoted themselves to business, can continue scientific research without pursuing wealth because of poverty, but with the protection of sufficient wealth, there will be more scientific discoveries that can benefit the world. Fortunately, my father, under his influence, has now finally begun to find out and correct this mistake, which is really a good start.

Joey remembers a quote from a great man: the love of wealth and the love of knowledge are the two forces that drive the planet. One of them is strengthened, and the other is bound to weaken.

Let scientists move the planet because of their love of knowledge, and entrepreneurs move the planet because of their love of wealth, and the government balances these two forces through taxation and funding. What could be better than this cycle of knowledge and wealth?!

"Protecting German patents is as careful as protecting your own eyes, and being as passionate as pursuing your beloved when it comes to transforming German patents!" Crown Prince Frederick continued his speech in lively language.

"The scientific discoveries of German scientists have saved Germany and the world from poverty and disaster, so the German Empire has every obligation to create a comfortable environment for scientists, so that German scientists can also avoid their own poverty and disaster, and discover and create freely! It will be my duty as a public servant! ”

"It will be my duty as a public servant to let the scientific Germany create wealth for the Germans, and let every German enjoy the happiness brought by science!"

The people in the salon were boiling, and the loud and prolonged applause showed that Crown Prince Frederick's speech had been a great success.

Crown Prince Frederick's speech at this salon was also considered by later generations to be a sign that Germany had ushered in the era of scientific Germany. For the first time in the world, there is a national level to protect the patent achievements of scientists, and to encourage the transformation of scientists' patents at the national level. After the scientists tasted the sweetness brought by the patented technological achievements, the enthusiasm for scientific research was aroused, and Germany is considered by the world to be the mecca of science, and it is the dream of all researchers around the world to have studied and engaged in research in Germany.

In the past, Crown Prince Frederick was considered a successful field marshal, but tonight, everyone recognized him as a giant in the field of science, although the crown prince did not have any scientific achievements, but he was the first to explain the role of the state in promoting the development of science, and with this speech, which was later called Frederick's April speech, the crown prince also left his own shining name in the history of science.

All the people rushed forward to shake hands with the crown prince warmly, and then the crown prince was pulled into a group of people to discuss the prince's speech in depth.
