However, Qin Chuan thought about it and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The purpose of Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai's coming to his dyeing factory today will never be as simple as they said to come to thank him, I am afraid that these two people are also for this refined salt factory. Since Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang knew about the matter of running the salt factory, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai would not know about it this time, this matter has already allowed Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang to take a big advantage, and they must not let Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai rob money from their pockets again.

If this is the case, it is really necessary to pull the banner as a tiger skin first, so that these two people will retreat in difficulty. simply exposed the matter of Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang.

Qin Chuan thought of this, and said to Zhou Fu indifferently: "Thank you for Lord Zhou's care, I can't hide it, at noon I met with Wu Tiaoqing and Lord Zhongtang's eldest son in Lishunde, they are discussing with their subordinates about investing in the salt factory, each of them has a stake of 400,000 yuan, each accounting for half of the shares, and they have promised to donate an alternate official position to Ming Hong." ”

As soon as they heard that Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang had invested in the salt factory, Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't help but be stunned, and they both looked a little gloomy after looking at each other. Wu Tiaoqing is nothing, but this Li Jingfang is a shareholder, it is not a trivial matter, and the joints of it can both be figured out, and it will be difficult for anyone else to pay attention to this salt factory in the future.

Although the matter of the salt factory can no longer be decided, but today is not in vain, Qinchuan has so many good things, and if they are handed over to foreigners, they will have a lot of gold and silver, but they can only take a look, which makes the two of them how can they be willing.

Sheng Xuanhuai was still a little unwilling, and asked Qin Chuan after thinking for a while: "Minghong, what you just said, although it makes sense, it is not necessarily true, for example, the patent of your fountain pen, we can produce it, of course, many equipment still have to be purchased from abroad." But if you put this patent in your own hands, foreigners can't produce it, only we can produce it, our things are better than foreigners', why don't foreigners come to buy our fountain pens? Although no one will use the fountain pen in our Qing Dynasty, but foreigners want to use it? If he wants to use it, then he has to buy ours? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai's words made Qin Chuan's eyes light up, Sheng Xuanhuai's words really reminded him.

Fountain pen, although it appeared as early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, but at this time the ink of the fountain pen can not flow freely, you must press the ink to flow, and you have to press it again after writing for a while, otherwise the ink will not flow out, so it is very inconvenient to write. It was not until six years ago that the American Waterman invented the method of capillary supply of ink, which barely solved this problem. However, when writing with this fountain pen, it is still very inconvenient to inject the ink with a small dropper. It would take more than 50 years for the fountain pen used in later generations to appear.

Fountain pen manufacturing technology is not complicated, domestic writing is naturally with a brush, at least for the time being, no one will use a fountain pen, but foreigners have to use, not to buy his fountain pen that is strange. If it is done well, it will not be a problem to sell millions or even hundreds of millions of pieces a year, which is another big deal. He was just thinking about how to make money from this food and clothing for daily use, but he ignored the pen.

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "Grandma's, Lao Tzu is a typical black under the lamp." ”

Qin Chuan slapped his thigh suddenly: "Yes, Master Shan's words made Ming Hong suddenly open his mouth, and Ming Hong was ignorant." ”

"Just set up a pen factory, and if you want to run it yourself, you have to apply for a patent in Japan, otherwise the Japanese will take advantage of the loopholes."

Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai are both Li Hongzhang's cadres in the implementation of foreign affairs, and they are very clear about the affairs of foreigners, how can they not know the importance of this fountain pen to foreigners, and they know how big the trade of this fountain pen will be.

Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhou Fu glanced at each other, but Sheng Xuanhuai said: "Ming Hong, if you want to run this pen factory, you have to make it larger." In this way, Zhou and I are also a shareholder, how about we co-establish this pen factory? ”

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "This Sheng Xuanhuai is really looking for opportunities, but his vision is very accurate, but this is to take money from Lao Tzu's pocket." The demands of these two people must not be refused, and the key is that the pen factory itself must take the lion's share. ”

Qin Chuan thought about it and said to Sheng Xuanhuai: "The two adults want to co-establish this pen factory with Ming Hong, and Ming Hong can't ask for it. However, the patent for making pens is generally not very long, probably not more than ten years, because of the huge profits of this pen, so I have an agreement with William Jr., and I have agreed with him to sell the patent fee for making pens, which should be more than five million marks. ”

Qin Chuan's words are to run on Zhou Fu and Sheng Xuanhuai, if it is ten years, then the patent fee alone will be 500,000 marks a year, if it is five years, then it will be more, I want them to know that if they are operating in a joint venture with him, his patents will be counted as money.

Qin Chuan then said: "Since we want to do it ourselves and make money, we must rush to make as much money as possible within the patent time limit, which means that the scale of our start must be large." ”

The patent fee reported by Qin Chuan really startled Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhou Fu, and Sheng Xuanhuai thought about it and asked Qin Chuan.

"How big is the scale of what Ming Hung is talking about, and how much money is needed? How long will it take to pay for itself? ”

Qin Chuan secretly praised Sheng Xuanhuai, and these words were all to the point.

Qin Chuan said while pondering: "Although this fountain pen is not complicated, it is difficult to find the materials for making the Qing Dynasty now, and the most difficult thing for my fountain pen is to make the nib, the metal of the nib cannot be too hard, it must be softer, preferably gold or iridium alloy, for example, this iridium is not available in the Qing Dynasty now." Of course, no matter whether gold or iridium is used, it is only a little bit of the tip of the pen, and the amount required is not very large. ”

"The most important thing is to add iridium and gold to the nib, now foreigners use iridium on their pens, but this iridium ore is very rare now, so I want to use tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium alloy, tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium alloy hardness is also very suitable for writing, not only can achieve the same effect as iridium, the cost is lower than the use of iridium, this tip and pen bag, are our patents, that is, foreigners within the limitation period of my patent, can not make the same pen as us."

"Of course, as far as I know, this fountain pen alone, in the last hundred years, foreigners have registered more than 400 patents, and there are still a few patents that have not expired, such as the pen tongue, we make fountain pens, but also pay each other patent fees."

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Qin Chuan hurriedly explained: "Two adults, this iridium, tungsten, molybdenum, and rhenium are also a kind of metal, and iridium and rhenium are the rarest in them, and the reserves in the world together are not very large, of course, you can also use gold and other metals to become alloys, but the cost of using gold will be very high。。。。。。 ”
