Chapter 407: Authorized Auction [1]
Stan Ein's joy at winning the award during this time has been tossed away by the people who are constantly harassing, and if it weren't for the 100,000 yuan that Dulin gave him and the medical achievement award that the federal side is ready to do for him, he might have found a corner to hide.
Every minute, there are people who want to see him, there are people who want to buy patents from him that he doesn't have at all, and even want to spend money to get from his mouth how to purify low-alcohol wine and make high-strength wine.
If it weren't for Durin standing behind, maybe he would have sold the purification method, no matter how much, it would not be too little. But Doolin ...... Not only is he now the boss of Stein Ain, but he has been supporting his research efforts and has invested nearly five million. As a scientific researcher, there is still a lower limit on the issue of morality, at least he will not sacrifice everything for profit like a businessman, and he still needs to be cheeky.
At this time, he could only grit his teeth and reveal the holder of the patent according to Dohring's instructions.
The power of capital is always pervasive, and the paper with the patent was quickly turned over from a corner, and they investigated the Future Star company, as well as the registrant, Clark.
The registered capital of Future Star is only 50,000 yuan, and the registered category is scientific research, but the company address above points to a private house, and people quickly found this house. Unfortunately, it seems that this house has not been occupied for a long time, and they looked for information about Clark and found that this guy is currently unknown.
In an age where there is no means of tracking and banks allow anonymous accounts, it is definitely not as difficult as the human brain can imagine to find a person.
To no avail, the people returned to Stan Ein's side, pestering him in the hope that he would be able to bring out the materials he was holding.
Just when Stan Ain felt like he was about to go crazy, Durin gave him a phone call, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Stan Ain announced to the public that he had obtained the authorization of Mr. Clark, the owner of the patent, and that there would be a licensing of the purification method, but only fifteen places, and the specific way to obtain the quota would need to be obtained through bidding. To put it simply, it is an auction of fifteen authorized places, and whoever gives more money can get the method, and can also get the authorization of the patent. As for those who don't have money...... I'm sorry, but this society is cruel.
All of a sudden, all the industries related to wine were boiling, and with the release of a new issue of data from Stein Ain, he set some standards for alcohol, and four bottles of fruit wine below 10 degrees can be purified into a bottle of spirit. According to this calculation, the real cost of using Stein Ain's method to obtain a bottle of spirits that costs about 30 yuan only costs less than 10 yuan?
There is nothing more exciting than huge profits, even some businessmen are tempted, let alone 300 percent, that is, 100 percent profit is enough for them to eat the rules and frameworks of this society, not to mention that the profit expectation of this business is much higher than 100 percent?
The time was set for a weekend night, in the lobby on the fourth floor of the Empire State Building, where more than 148 individuals and companies participated in the auction.
"We can eat alone ......", Stan Ein's tone was full of indescribable regret when he chatted with Durin backstage, and in his opinion, Durin, who had this technology, could keep this purification method secret and not announce it. Then he has an advantage that no one else has, and he can make a fuss about the price, such as fighting a price war. Others lowering one dollar is cutting meat, but for Du Lin, whether it is one piece or five yuan, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and there will still be huge profit margins.
Using the price advantage to defeat all the brewers is enough for him to monopolize this industry, which is a huge market with more than a billion sales per year, if it can really monopolize ...... , I'm afraid it will shock the whole world!
It's a pity that Durin chose to take it out, which is why Stan Ein doesn't understand.
He was a scientist who graduated from the Imperial Noble Academy, which is now the Imperial Royal Academy, and after graduation, he spent some time at the Imperial Academy, but then felt that the atmosphere there was not very good, and chose to leave to enter a private research room to conduct research. He changed five research labs one after another, and in the end all of them closed down, until he was recruited by Durin to have a real place to live.
Doolin will provide no less than three million research funds for his use every year, and if there is a major scientific and technological breakthrough, Dühring will not only give him a bonus, but the annual research fund will continue to increase according to the importance and uniqueness of the research invention. This allowed Stan Ein to be captured by Doolin without any resistance, and helped him set up a studio in the imperial capital, the real research laboratory on an isolated island twenty-seven kilometers outside the Imperial Bay.
Although there have been no huge scientific research achievements in the past six months, many things have caught up with the current trend of international science and technology, and Duhrin believes that in the next few years, there will be great products coming out, such as nylon. Durin remembers the story that a group of scientists from a country in a dream invented it, and then it quickly sparked a craze and became the darling of the times.
It's a very lucrative path, and it's very clean, and Durin can't guide these people in the specific work of research, but he can still come up with something forward-looking. Sometimes science is like running into a wall in a dark corridor, and you never know when you'll get to the end, maybe for a lifetime, maybe the next step.
People have a great fear of the unknown, and without pointing out the direction, it is very likely that they will choose to give up if they can't take the last step. There are too many such stories, such as weight loss, without a plan, without a goal and target, it is very likely that you will not feel the benefits brought and will choose to give up in a hurry.
Therefore, Stan Ein and the eccentrics in the research laboratory who were abandoned by the major research institutes were also very respectful and shocked by Duhring. The fact that a guy who had not been to school was able to point them in the direction had to say that God could indeed be real.
Dühring laughed at this, Stein Ain was a researcher who knew too little about business. If a person wants to monopolize an industry, he must first have a strong background, and at the same time, he also needs a very special opportunity, that is, the industry has just been discovered. For example, in the current TV industry, whether it is those senior industry monopolists or ordinary businessmen like Doolin, everyone is standing on the same starting line, and only in this way can it be possible to achieve a monopoly.
The moonshine industry and the history of winemaking may have surpassed the limits of the document, and it is absolutely impossible for Dohrin to monopolize the industry on his own. This is like a steel tycoon, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be a trust in the industry, because he can't control the output of the whole world's mines, and he can't control the whole world's steelmaking enterprises, so he is just a tycoon, not a trust.
The same is true for winemaking, Duhrin does not have control over the entire empire may have thousands or even tens of thousands of formal and family-style workshops, if he wants to monopolize this industry, he must do it with the help of someone else's hand, and this hand is the fifteen authorized enterprises or individuals selected this time.
Being able to emerge from more than 100 enterprises or individuals with top competitiveness means that these fifteen are definitely supergiants in the industry, or have deep backs and influence. Regardless of whether they are willing to comply with Durin's wishes or not, as long as they win the competition, they will inevitably carry out legal or illegal attacks on those large and small workshops that are not authorized in order to protect their own interests, so as to ensure the safety of their own investment and income.
With the help of these people, there are only sixteen companies left in the entire industry, including Doolin.
Of course, ideal things can never become reality, and accidents exist to oppose the best wishes of mankind. There may still be some breweries, but they are no longer competitive. If they don't apply purification to make spirits, then they will not be competitive in the spirits market and will not be able to fight the price war. If they secretly used the purification method, those predators would definitely tear them apart in the first place.
A stable and orderly industry is one of the necessary foundations for monopoly, and through such a cruel shuffle of the survival of the fittest, a large number of people will be cleared out of the market, and then through more fierce and cruel competition among themselves, the ideological monopoly will be completed.
And this ideological monopoly is called standard!
Eventually, these remaining giants of the brewing industry will form a non-conglomerated organization that exists like a group of companies, distributing power among each other and dominating the entire industry.
There is no doubt that Durin is already one step ahead of everyone else in this regard, and he also has the authority to kill the Great Killer Weapon, the Purification Method. Once he decides to exclude someone, he simply terminates the mandate, and the rest of them tear him apart and throw him out of the field, dividing his share.
Many people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, but in fact, shopping malls are not only battlefields, but also more cruel than battlefields. On the battlefield, you can see the men and women of the enemy and the enemy with clear flags, but in the shopping mall, everyone is wearing the same clothes and has the same appearance, mixed together. You never know if it's your enemy standing opposite you, and you don't know if it's your comrades standing behind you, and sometimes you may be surrounded by enemies and can't find out.
It's a brutal, mysterious game world where there is no winning or losing, only survival and death.
