Chapter 256: "The Tin Frog"

In a few days, Chang'an as a pilot, the Chang'an Department of Integrity was officially listed, but at present, except for Li Tai as the head of the Supreme Department of Integrity, there are no other members, and they are recruiting honest talents from outside, and the selection officer is Prime Minister Chen Lao. This is a method of selecting officials that breaks the convention, and of course it is also a hot topic among the people of Chang'an. The prices of all positions in the Chang'an Integrity Department are clearly marked, and the salaries are low and not to mention, and the official positions do not bring products. Under such conditions, candidates must be assessed layer by layer, and only after passing the assessment can they be selected.

Of course, the imperial court is not just posting a notice out, it is necessary to exaggerate patriotic sentiments, and only honest people who truly love the country and the people disdain money, fame and fortune.

There are more people who signed up than expected, basically most of them are rich and noble children who want to be gilded, but it has been more than a month since the notice was posted, and only one person has been recruited, and that is Di Renjie. Only then did the people of the Tang Dynasty know that the imperial court was really interested in this seemingly absurd institution!

As the Anti-Corruption Division was rumored to be more and more lofty, there were finally many jealous (or angry) young talents to participate in the interview, and it took nearly half a year to gather people.

Since the use of electric lights in the school, the imperial court has attached great importance to this new energy source, and in addition to commending Xiaoyu's team, it has also rewarded a lot of funds to support Xiaoyu's expansion of research. Now, electric power has been conquered by Xiaoyu's team, and corresponding research has begun to be carried out, the simplest is the electric fan.

Li Shimin once again mentioned to Wang Haoran about installing electricity in the palace, and Wang Haoran finally did not refuse, and he was planning to build a large-scale power station to connect the entire city of Chang'an. If this thing is successful in the future, he will provide the power station technology to anyone who wants to build a power station free of charge, so that more people in Datang can enjoy the convenience brought by technology faster.

The research of the aircraft is faster than Wang Haoran imagined, and the design and structure of the aircraft were planned in a year, and it is not difficult to make accessories, presumably an aircraft will be assembled in another half a year, as for whether it can fly, it will only be possible to draw conclusions then.

Folk inventions have never stopped, and new creations that have emerged over the years have become more and more sophisticated, such as the development of drilling rigs powered by fuel power, which has made the speed of mineral mining increase by leaps and bounds; There are also pumpers made of fuel power, which solve the problem of water shortage in arid places...... These new creations are like that in the eyes of later generations, but for these Tang people who have never been in contact with these before, this is already commendable. Therefore, Wang Haoran proposed the concept of intellectual property rights to Li Zhi for the first time at the court meeting, and suggested that legislation should be enacted to protect private research results. The proposal was unanimously endorsed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they went directly to the process of drafting the plan.

Wang Haoran also took action and set up a venture capital bank, if there is a new creation but he does not have the funds to make it an industry, if it is approved by the venture capital bank, the venture capital bank can invest appropriate funds or other resources after some investigation.

One day, a middle-aged man from a venture capital firm came to the staff and told the staff that he also had creations, but he took out a small tin box, with two feet under the tin box, and the outer box was painted with eyes and mouth, which looked like a small monster.

"What is this? What does it do? The staff asked curiously.

"This ...... This is...... Toy ......" the middle-aged man squeezed out a few words.

After the establishment of the venture capital firm, there are often people with some small creations to try their luck, and those staff can't think of what the use of the creation is, they will leave the things first, at the end of each month will take it to Wang Haoran to see, and when it is determined that there is no commercial use, it will be returned to others, so there are often some strange things in the counter in the store, when Wang Haoran is free, sometimes he will take his children to see, today he happened to come over, he just entered the door and heard the words of the middle-aged man, and suddenly came to the interest, Today's children don't have as many toys as the children of later generations, and there is no toy making business in his industry, so he went up to see what toys were.

When the staff saw that the boss was coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and the middle-aged man seemed at a loss, so he saluted and greeted the staff as they were.

"No excuses." Wang Haoran smiled kindly, took the iron box in the hands of the staff and pondered it.

As soon as Wang Haoran took the toy, he knew how to play with it, he twisted the small pole on it and put the iron box on the table, and the iron box jumped forward like a frog, and stopped after jumping more than ten times.

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the little master didn't have to explain the gameplay of this iron box by himself, and he would know how to play it at a glance! It is said that the little young master is extremely smart, and this time he has seen it.

In fact, it's not that Wang Haoran is smart, but this thing is too similar to the tin frog he played with when he was a child...... Of course, it's not about looks, it's about the overall structure.

"This thing is interesting, what help do you need with this thing today?" Wang Haoran asked the middle-aged man.

"Grass...... Grass people are also ...... I don't know, I just want to bring it...... Show the little young master, how useful this can be, and I hope the little young master will advise. The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment.

"Well...... Wang Haoran thought for a while and said, "I have fallen in love with this thing now, and I want to change the appearance and then produce and sell it in large quantities." I have two ways to cooperate for you to choose, one is to sell this thing and the production method to me directly, and I will give you 100,000 yuan; Another way is to have me produce and sell, and I will give you one percent of the income as a profit. However, it is not certain how much money can be obtained by this method, maybe more than 100,000, or less than 100,000. Also, I'm not going to make this thing forever. ”

In fact, Wang Haoran doesn't need the iron box in front of him, Wang Haoran also knows how to make iron frogs, but he can't just look at the problem from his perspective, he has to respect other people's intellectual property rights. What others can make, he can naturally do with his own knowledge, but the purpose of his venture capital bank is to encourage the people of Datang to use their imagination and measure others with their own ability, and the venture capital bank has no meaning to exist.

"This ...... That's a lot! The middle-aged man was surprised, but he was a little entangled, is it better to take the 100,000? Or is it better to get points? It seems that the profit of the famous young master is not bad! Therefore, he asked: "The grass people don't know how good it is, what does the little master think the grass people should choose?" ”

"I think it's better for you to take the 100,000 directly, according to my estimate, if you take the profits, it is unlikely that you can get more than 100,000." Wang Haoran said truthfully.

"Then the grass people will do as the little master says." The middle-aged man made up his mind.

Wang Haoran was also refreshed, and asked the staff to take the middle-aged man to withdraw the money, while he took the iron box back to the research institute and let the people in the institute improve it and put it into production.

This matter is not a big deal, but it soon spread, and the common people are very envious of the middle-aged man who made 100,000 yuan with a small creation, and at the same time he is more concerned about the creation, maybe they can also make things that can be sold at a high price!
