Chapter 166 - Combating Trademark Misappropriation
Shang Bao Si Cheng Liu Ming came to his shop again today to inspect, since he played the brand of the Royal Industry Company, Jinyi's silver drilled into his pocket like flowing water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Ming was very satisfied with his clever behavior, and even looked down on those who only knew how to sell directly or honestly learned from the Royal Industrial Company, and also took the trademark of "Heng Xiang Monopoly", and went to the household department to spend money.
In Liu Ming's opinion, this is stupidity, and it is better for him to directly use the name of the Royal Industrial Company.
He even often used this to ridicule the boss of the "Heng Shen Monopoly", proudly showing off his unmatched business skills, and even secretly decided that one day he must return to his hometown with 100,000 yuan to show his father who has been scolding him for not learning and not knowing.
He wants to show those people that he is not a loser!
"How much money did you get in yesterday?" Liu Ming asked the shopkeeper, and then opened the account book and checked it himself.
However, at this moment, his housekeeper hurriedly ran into the store: "Uncle, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division rushed over." ”
"What are you afraid of, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are estimated to be here to arrest other people, and they will not arrest us, even if they borrow ten of his courage, they don't dare", as soon as Liu Ming's words fell, he saw a sentence outside the house surrounded by dense soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said to the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses: "I said, did you patrol the city and the old man go to the wrong place, what kind of place is this, doesn't he know, the identity of this son, doesn't he know it?" ”
Who knows, at this time, Yin Wangyu of Shuntian Mansion and the Imperial History of the Patrol City both walked in.
"Ouch, Uncle Shi, you are here, please accept the little nephew's worship", Liu Ming saw that Wang Yu was busy coming to make a move, but Wang Yu ignored him, and said with a serious face: "After investigation, this store infringes on the trademark authority of the Royal Industry Company, and the owner of this shop, Shangbao Si Sicheng, will be taken down directly!" ”
Liu Ming was a little stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, the two soldiers rushed in directly to arrest Liu Ming.
At this time, Liu Ming, who had just come back to his senses, hurriedly took a step back and asked: "No, Uncle Shi, what's the matter with you, why don't you understand human feelings, and what trademark we infringe on the Royal Industrial Company is also a non-existent thing, we sell ours, they sell theirs, even if it is true that we have misappropriated the name "Royal Monopoly", it is not a big crime." What's more, the one next door also uses the name of "Heng Shen Monopoly", why don't you arrest them. ”
"People are registered in the household department, it is called trademark rights, you know, it is protected by the imperial court! And you are suspected of infringing on the trademark rights of others and have been ordered to stop the modification behavior many times without listening, you must take strict measures today! ”
Wang Yu shouted as he spoke: "This official has been appointed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this Liu Ming's official body has been removed, now you can directly take him down and put him in prison!" ”
At the same time, Wang Yu waved his hand again: "Go in and confiscate all the property in the store, and directly use it as compensation for the loss of the Royal Industrial Company!" ”
Suddenly, countless soldiers rushed in and began to loot the silver dollars in the store, and removed some of the silver mirror glass that had not yet been sold, and smashed the other furnishings in the store.
Liu Ming was bitter when he saw this, and the profits he had worked hard for nearly half a year were in vain.
In the end, Liu Ming couldn't help but scold Wang Yulai, saying that he accepted his own and his father's silver, but he didn't make decisions for himself.
In the end, Wang Yu had to let people block Liu Ming's mouth.
This trademark infringement case was not such an earth-shattering event in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but in the eyes of later generations of research scholars, this trademark infringement case became the first typical case of trademark infringement disputes in the Ming Dynasty, and was written into Zhu Youxiao's record.
……
The trademark infringement case not only made the businessmen begin to understand the importance of registering trademarks, but also made the people in the capital truly experience the simplicity of the Royal Industries Company.
As a result, the Royal Industries Company became known again, and the revenue from sales increased dramatically once again.
This also made Zhu Youxiao once again really feel the benefits brought by industries such as glass and silver mirror manufacturing, but Zhu Youxiao did not just want glass as a money-making product.
More often than not, glass is also a very versatile material, and certainly not just for windows.
Glass itself is a corrosion-resistant material, and it is transparent and easy to observe, so it is a good experimental tool, such as test tubes, coolers, petri dishes, etc.
In addition, with sophisticated glass-making technology, glass can be processed into microscopes and telescopes that are essential for scientific research and military purposes.
Now there are academicians of the Royal Academy of Engineering who have begun to take charge of the subject of microscopes and telescope manufacturing, and the leader of the subject is Chen Zhang, the eldest son of Chen Letou, and now Zhu Youxiao has canceled the craftsman registration system, according to Chen Letou's original intention, he wants to let his son and his father-in-law, that is, Liu Ge, who is Zhishi, ask for teaching and ask about the road of imperial examinations in the future, but this Chen Zhang is obviously more interested in scientific research, and now all kinds of skills have been paid more and more attention, and Chen Letou is not opposed.
However, the manufacturing of microscopes and telescopes is not easy, and Zhu Youxiao did not expect researchers to be able to manufacture them quickly, but the materials and objects purchased through the system have already been placed there, and he does not believe that these Ming people cannot imitate them.
The applied research of the Royal Academy of Engineering is in full swing, but the basic research of the Royal Academy of Engineering has not been left behind.
Today, Zhu Youxiao went to the Royal Academy of Sciences in the morning.
The Royal Academy of Sciences is close to the Hanlin Academy, and the current Hanlin Academy is almost equivalent to the Academy of Social Sciences, and Zhu Youxiao will always assign them some tasks from time to time, such as counting the population of the Ming Dynasty or the total grain output or the total number of acres of cultivated land, so that few people in the Hanlin Academy have free time to study the Four Books and Five Classics.
However, the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences were very free, and when Zhu Youxiao arrived, he saw Xu Guangqi watering jasmine flowers in a small field in the courtyard like an old farmer wearing a hat and rolling his trouser legs.
Mao Yuanyi is sitting aside, and constantly adding coal to the iron furnace, and this iron furnace is the boiler, and the connected pipe is the steam pipeline designed by Mao Yuanyi according to Zhu Youxiao's suggestion, and the water vapor generated after heating enters the steam pipeline, it will directly push the piston and sliding gate to rotate the wheel, so as to generate mechanical power, and now Mao Yuanyi is doing to make the first steam engine of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Mao Yuanyi has failed several times, and sometimes either the air tightness is not good or the hot water vapor is not enough to push the piston.
If Zhu Youxiao remembers correctly, this should be the fifth experiment conducted by Mao Yuanyi.
Further inside, there were more scientific experimenters, some standing in front of a blackboard and writing some Ming Dynasty version of mathematical symbols with chalk that even Zhu Youxiao couldn't understand, some holding a ball rolling around on an inclined plane, and some also burning a large pot of liquid that Zhu Youxiao didn't know what it was with coal.
