Chapter 63 Patent Lapse

Just last week, Grand Magician Ferguson once again came to the Duchy of Stantin on behalf of the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild to meet with Xu Yi.

This time, Archwizard Ferguson brought the final resolution of the Wizards' Guild Headquarters.

According to the discussion and decision of the Magicians Guild Headquarters Council, it agrees with and supports the establishment of the Magic Industry Academy proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to train low-level magicians to master the theoretical basis of magic bow-related knowledge.

The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild said that in the name of the Magicians Guild of Sainz, it will officially recognize the existence of the magic industry to all magicians on the entire continent.

And the official recognition of the headquarters of the Wizards Guild means that the magic industry represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been officially recognized by the Wizards Guild, and it will be clearly distinguished from other commercial industries on the mainland.

The magicians on the continent are more or less contemptuous of the merchants, but they are limited to their personal livelihood, and they always have to force themselves to deal with the merchants.

And now the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild has specially mentioned the magic industry and recognized it, giving a lot of magicians a reason to officially get involved in the magic industry.

For Xu Yi, this is enough.

The reason why it was so difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to recruit magicians before was actually mostly because of such a face problem.

For high-level magicians, joining a chamber of commerce is already a self-surrendering status, and just entering this chamber of commerce as a researcher who doesn't know what to call is even more difficult to accept.

The reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is able to recruit so many magicians now is in addition to the fact that the treatment given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really good enough. More reasons are also because of the golden sign of Camila Magister.

And now the magical industry is officially recognized by the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild. In addition, the headquarters of the Wizards Union also said that it would list the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as one of the cooperative chambers of commerce of the headquarters of the Wizards Union. Then joining the work of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will no longer have any psychological barriers for all magicians.

As for the Academy of Magical Industry run by Xinfei's lied to your union, it is even more of a blessing for those low-level magicians.

Because according to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, joining this college can even be done without paying tuition, and at the same time, there is a great chance to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after graduation and get a pretty good job.

For the vast majority of low-level mages who are not in a good financial situation, not to mention enough to support the study of magic, and even upgrading is a problem. This is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky thing.

For the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the formal support of the headquarters of the Magician Guild can not only enable the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to recruit a large number of magicians to work directly in the Chamber of Commerce, but also recruit a larger number of low-level magicians for the Xinfei Magic Industry Academy as a talent reserve in the future, which is extremely beneficial to the current and long-term development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So at the beginning, he had an extremely pleasant conversation with Ferguson Archmagician, and Xu Yi also seized the opportunity to propose another new idea of his own to Ferguson Grandmagician.

Xu Yiti yì, hoping that the headquarters of the Magicians Guild can approve the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to support the annual qualification level assessment of the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, and for this reason, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can pay 100,000 gold coins to the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom every year as a naming fee.

Although the great magician of Ferguson was very inexplicable about the "naming fee" and "naming fee" proposed by Xu Yi, it was still very easy to understand under Xu Yi's explanation.

From the personal point of view of the Grand Magician of Ferguson, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

This is because the Wizards' Guilds in various countries don't actually have any means of making money. Funding to keep it running comes almost entirely from grants from the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild and special funds from the host country.

The Lampari Kingdom has not had much money because it has always been weak before. Therefore, the special allocation for the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom is even more scarce.

According to the memories of Grand Magician Ferguson, when the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom used to report to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild every year, they would say that they were in financial difficulties, because the special money they received from the Lampari Kingdom in a year was only a mere 50,000 gold coins.

Even if you add the annual allocation of 30,000 gold coins from the headquarters of the Magician Guild, the total annual activity fund of the Magician Guild of the Lampari Kingdom is only 80,000 gold coins.

With such a small amount of funds, it is a little difficult to maintain the basic operation of the headquarters of the Magician Guild of the entire Lampari Kingdom, not to mention the activities of various Magicians' Guilds, which is naturally even more stretched.

Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to support the Lampari Kingdom Magicians Guild with 100,000 gold coins every year, it will greatly improve the financial situation of the Lampari Kingdom Magicians' Guild, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

But the great magician of Ferguson did not agree to it.

First of all, this matter is related to the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, and he has no authority to make a decision alone, and secondly, a chamber of commerce will conduct the so-called "naming" of the qualification level assessment held by the Magicians' Guild of a country, which is too novel, of course, it must be discussed carefully before a decision can be made.

Of course, the Grand Magician of Ferguson still praised Xu Yi's mention, saying that Xu Yi, as the president of a special chamber of commerce that has a close relationship with magicians, is really willing to consider the magicians, and the headquarters of the magicians' union listed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an official cooperative chamber of commerce, which is really a very correct decision......

However, after Xu Yi raised this suggestion, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was instantly reversed.

The reason for this was a subsequent request made by Grand Wizard Ferguson on behalf of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild.

Last time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had reached an agreement with the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would transfer a piece of technology related to magical machinery to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild every year, which was a quid pro quo for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to receive support from the headquarters of the Wizards' Union.

Originally, this was nothing, and Xu Yi also knew that the Magicians' Union wanted to take a piece of the magic industry that was now very profitable, which was understandable.

But this time, the request made by the Grand Magician of Ferguson on behalf of the headquarters of the Magician Guild made Xu Yi surprised and gave birth to strong anger.

The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild said. Because the magic patents that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce applied for to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild have changed. Therefore, it needs to be re-examined and determined.

In order to ensure the rigor and fairness of the audit. Therefore, the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild requires the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to submit all complete information related to these patents.

When the Ferguson Archmagician made this request, his expression was understated, and his tone was reasonable, as if it were a matter of course.

However, Xu Yi was almost so angry that he scolded directly.

Don't you dare to be a little more shameless!

Submit all the complete information related to these patents?

Isn't that equivalent to giving away all the technologies involved in these patents?

The weight of Ferguson's fluttering words is extremely heavy.

The reason why Xu Yi went to great lengths to get the Lampari Magicians Guild to propose a magic patent to the headquarters of the Mainland Magicians Guild was indeed to emulate the patent law on Earth to form some protection for the patents of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But I didn't expect that now the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild is guarding and stealing from itself!

If it weren't for Xu Yi's original calm personality. In addition, after serving as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for so many years, he has already become unfazed, and I am afraid that he can't help but be angry at the headquarters of the Great Magician of Ferguson and the Magician Guild it represents.

And the Ferguson Grand Magician, who noticed Xu Yiqing's xù, just dropped a sentence coldly.

"If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot provide complete information, then it is very likely that the patent will not be reviewed and filed at the union headquarters, and it will be declared invalid and no longer protected by the union headquarters. President Xu, please think about the consequences. ”

Xu Yi resisted the urge to kick over, and told the Ferguson Grand Magician that this would need to be studied and discussed within the Chamber of Commerce before making a decision, and then ended the meeting and conversation between the two.

However, a week has passed since that meeting, and Xu Yi has not yet held an internal meeting of the chamber of commerce to discuss the matter.

Because in his opinion. There was no need to discuss this matter at all, and he would never agree to it.

But the consequences of not agreeing. The Great Wizard of Ferguson has made it quite clear.

The Wizards' Guild Headquarters will no longer provide protection for these patents, which means that anyone else can borrow and copy the designs of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce without any liability.

Xu Yi can even be sure that the person who wants to do this is simply the headquarters of the Magician Guild itself.

So Xu Yi is now facing a very strict problem.

Without the protection of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, it means that all kinds of research on magic in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Research Institute can be used by other magicians at will.

In fact, among the various magical machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, although magic plays a very important role, the magic designed is usually very low-end, and rarely involves particularly high-level magic.

If a high-level mage is allowed to focus on research, it is not impossible to completely decipher the secrets of the magic arrays used in these magic machines.

In addition, the appearance and mechanical design of these magic machines are not particularly complicated now, and it is not particularly difficult to imitate them, so Xu Yi is almost extremely sure that as long as the headquarters of the Magician Guild announces that the magic patents registered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the headquarters of the Magician Guild are invalid, then there will definitely be copycats of magic machinery all over the ground.

Although Xu Yi believes that industrial manufacturing is not something that can be solved by simple imitation, but there are many counterfeit goods, Xu Yi is worried that the magic machinery that has finally been established by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represents a new, sophisticated, and infinitely convenient image, which is thus damaged.

Crucially, losing such an important restriction as patent protection would throw the industry into disarray.

The loss of order and rules is extremely dangerous for the development of the magic industry.

This is the concern that Xu Yi brought because of the request of the headquarters of the Wizards' Union.

As for the solution...... Xu Yi is not nothing, but the hidden dangers that this plan may bring have made him undecided.

However, after receiving the letter from Sevigny today, thinking that the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom have really entered the creation of the magic industry system according to their own plans, and then if nothing else, the two empires of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire will also begin to introduce the magic industry industry, Xu Yi felt that he could not hesitate any longer.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi stood up and went straight to Camila's private room. (To be continued......)
