Chapter 1009 Royalties
Hearing that Su Ye gave up some of his interests, the gods' faces were slightly pale, because the current business model proves that sales and processing can make more money.
As long as you have money to take, everything is easy to say.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace sneered, "Where did the research funds come from in Demon Hell City? Say, what other tricks do you have? I don't believe you're willing to give up such a big fat fat! ”
Su Ye smiled and said, "By the way, I forgot to say it just now." In order to ensure that the research headquarters has sufficient R&D expenses, we cannot force the members of the association to ask for money. In this way, we will formulate a plan for 'patents' and 'royalties'. To put it simply, all technologies developed by the research department have exclusive rights and interests to them. Any organization that uses these technologies must pay a percentage of royalties. ”
The audience was in an uproar, and after threatening the gods, they began to blackmail?
The Lord of the Demon Furnace said with a dark face: "You said that everyone is your own person, and you said that you want to work hard for the entire infinite plane, how can you step into the money now?" You, your heart is different! ”
"When I traveled to the Infinity Plane, I met a man named 'Lu', who rescued a man who was almost drowned, and that man gave Lu a cow in order to repay his kindness, and Lu accepted it without refusal. Back at the college, Lu made a big deal about it, and his classmates criticized Lu, saying that how could he accept gifts from others when he saved people? As a result, the students' teacher, the great wisdom man, Kong, praised Lu loudly, saying that from now on, everyone would be willing to save the drowning person, and Lu set a good example. ”
"Kong also has another student named 'Gong'. Gong was a man of high moral character and a wealthy family, and when he met a native in a neighboring country who had been sold into slavery, he bought this fellow countryman at his own expense and sent him back to his country. According to the rules of his country, after redeeming this compatriot, he could go to the state to receive the reward, but he refused. Everyone said that Gong was a good person, but the teacher Kong criticized Gong, saying that from now on, the native people were no longer willing to redeem their compatriots, and Gong made a big mistake and set a bad example. ”
"In the short term, patents are really something that hinders development. A good technology and a good theory can be used by everyone, isn't that good for everyone? ”
The gods looked at Su Ye coldly.
"But you have forgotten the most important thing, that both humans and gods need to eat, drink, and have basic needs. Not everyone can achieve financial freedom, and in their leisure time they can think about philosophy, create magic, and work for the benefit of humanity. There are many people who, even if they want to, have to give up in order to survive. The role of patents is not to make money, but to tell everyone in the world that as long as we truly create something valuable, we will reap the rewards we deserve. ”
"The role of patents will not only not hinder our progress, but will encourage a large number of people to take the initiative to promote the development of the world. Of course, in the process of implementation, there will be various problems, but if there are problems, they will be solved, are you afraid of choking to death and not eating? Also, what is perfect under the sky? I haven't encountered it. ”
"In addition......" Su Ye suddenly glanced at the Lord of the Demon Furnace and the gods, "All of our human magic organizations have disclosed countless knowledge, information, materials, philosophies and theories, you don't even look at it, you don't learn it, you don't care at all, now you will be surprised to turn this knowledge into technology and let the people who contribute make some money." The tools you build with your physical strength and sweat can be sold for money, but the methods and tools that magicians build with their brainpower and energy are not worthy of being sold for money? ”
The gods were speechless.
"Your actions remind me of a story. Athens was about to go to war, and a man asked a farmer: If you had 10,000 golden eagles, would you be willing to donate them to Athens? The farmer said yes. The man then asked, "If you had a legendary artifact, would you be willing to donate it to Athens?" The farmer said yes. Finally the man asked, if you had a cow, would you be willing to donate it to Athens? The farmer said no. The man asked why, and the farmer said he really had a cow. After talking for a long time, it is nothing more than that the cow is not yours. If your cattle are snatched, you will be much crazier than us magicians. ”
Su Ye glanced at the gods playfully and said, "Why do you hate patents?" In essence, it is not a patent fee, but the result of wisdom, thinking and research that you do not recognize in your heart, in your bones, and in your soul. Then why don't you recognize the fruits of wisdom and thinking? Because you think that wisdom and thinking are worthless. Why do you think that wisdom and thinking are worthless? For ye have neither wisdom nor thought! ”
"Anyone who gains from thinking and reaps results from wisdom will never deny patents."
"The denial of patents is essentially the denial of mental work, which is a typical anti-intellectual."
"You ......"
The gods stared angrily at the rampant subordinate god.
"Before I robbed your cattle, the fire in your eyes could burn down the entire Crucible."
"Do you know why our Demon Hell City is developing so fast, and why there are no complaints from ordinary magicians to masters? We in Hell City may not be able to give magicians a perfect world, but we know that the most basic respect for a laborer is to give enough money first! We treat ourselves as human beings as well as others! This is the difference between me and you. ”
The Lord of the Demon Furnace smiled coldly and said, "Okay, I agree to the patent fee, but this is my bottom line, and after that, I don't want any god to cross the line and trample on my bottom line!" ”
"What's your bottom line? When I draw it, I want to step on it! The Lord of the Forges scoffed.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace held back his anger and said: "The integrated planning of production, education and research, the strategy of technology, industry and trade, and patent matters, everyone has no objections. After that, the specific cooperation will be carried out in stages. So, let's talk about the Artisan Association. ”
Su Ye said: "The craftsman conference is more like a loose gathering. Now, the gods are ready to move, a new era is coming, and the land of creation is about to begin, and it is natural for us artisan gods to abandon our preconceptions and build a supernova-like artisan association to better plan the future of artisan gods. Otherwise, the craftsman gods will always be just laborers of the major gods, only worthy of being called around, only worthy of hard work and resentment, and will never be taken seriously. You are willing to come to the craftsman conference, it should not be for the excitement! ”
The Lord of the Forge said, "I mean that too. In order to cope with the drastic changes in the infinite plane, the Craftsmen's Conference should be reorganized into the Craftsmen's Association. I have deliberately studied the various organizations in each plane and found that the model of the Mage Guild is the most suitable for us. Are you willing to open up a new path for the future of the craftsman gods? ”
Vulcan glanced at Tethys and said, "I think that we artisan gods should have our own organization, and I support the Artisan Guild. ”
"Even an old drunkard can see it, how can I not understand? I support the creation of the Artisan Association! "Lord of the Grey Dwarves.
"I support it too." The Lord of the Flames.
In the end, only the Lord of the Demon Furnace and the Lord of the Fire Elemental remained unrepresented.
Suddenly, the heat of the venue was surging and slowly dissipating.
"I represent the fire elemental plane and have never expressed a position. However, today's experience was an eye-opener for me. I was like an old man living alone in the mountains, thinking that he had insight into everything in the world, and when I went down the mountain, I saw that the world was turned upside down. I can't be sure whether what Su Ye said is correct or not, and I can't be sure about the future of the craftsman gods, what I can be sure of is that I want to give it a try, and I want to see the different infinite plane that Su Ye depicted. I'm tired of seeing this smoky infinite plane. ”
The artisan gods nodded silently.
Who isn't?
"Little stove, why, you still don't say anything?" The Lord of the Forge smiled and looked at the Lord of the Demon Furnace.
The gods lowered their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace glared at the Lord of the Forge fiercely, took a deep breath, and said, "I also support the reorganization of the Artisan Gods and the establishment of the Artisan Association. Next, I build a spiritual world, and everyone communicates quickly. ”
A pale white hemisphere envelops the field.
All the gods closed their eyes.
Bursts of strange fluctuations vibrated in the pale white ball of light, and at every instant, tens of thousands of words exchanged with each other.
After half an hour, the white hemisphere vanished, and some of the gods looked tired.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace had a normal face and said, "The general structure of the Craftsman Divine Spirit Association has been completed, and next, we only need to add details." So, what we need to do now is to select the president and vice president of the first Artisan Deity Association. In view of the lengthy process of selecting the President, and the Flame Giant God Surtr was unable to attend, the Lord of the Forge temporarily assumed the position of President. Who has objections? ”
There is no divine voice.
"This meeting is being held in my Crucible City, and I am presiding over this meeting, so I will have the cheekiness to compete for the position of first vice president, who has any objections?"
The gods looked at the other main gods.
The Lord of the Fire Elemental and the Lord of the Yin Flame have never quarreled, and Vulcan is an honest man, and in the end, everyone looks to the Lord of the Gray Dwarves.
The Lord of the Gray Dwarves spread his hands and said, "I don't fight for the first vice president, but I want to fight for the second vice president." Who is against? ”
There was no objection.
The Lord of the Fire Elemental said, "I and the Lord of the Yin Flame are not really craftsmen and gods, so the third vice president is still Vulcan. ”
The Lord of the Flame nodded.
Volgan said with a smile: "Since the two of you are humble, then I will serve as the third vice president of this term." ”
The Lord of the Fire Elemental said to the Lord of the Yin Flame: "You usually like forging more than me, you are the fourth, I am the fifth, and Surtr didn't come, so I gave him a sixth vice president." ”
The Lord of the Flame nodded.
The Lord of the Demon Furnace said: "Very good, the first president and vice president ......"
"Wait a minute!" The Lord of the Forge breaks the Lord of the Furnace.
"What do you want to say?" The Lord of the Demon Furnace asked with a cold face.
The Lord of Forging smiled and said: "We want to transform and upgrade the whole industrial chain, and the core of the transformation is magic, and the biggest hero is the magician mainly Su Ye, then, among the vice presidents, we must choose a god related to magic, this is not too much, right?" ”
The Lord of the Demon Furnace stared at the Lord of the Forge with a gloomy face.
The rest of the gods also looked at the Lord of Forging in amazement, this guy, how can he eat inside and out?
Although all the gods were shocked just now, everyone knew that the establishment of this association was not for anything at all, but for the progress of the entire infinite plane, but purely for the craftsman gods to absorb magical power.
