Originally, Zhu Han thought that after he finished speaking, he would cause a round of applause.

As a result, he found that the merchants looked at each other, as if they did not understand what he meant.

I thought about it.

Zhu Han turned his head, pointed to the patent certificate and said to Zhang Fengnian, "Have you finished reading it?"

Zhang Fengnian hurriedly nodded desperately, the content of this patentee is not particularly much, although there are some patent contents, I don't particularly understand.

However, combined with the context, it is easy to guess an approximation.

The most important thing is that if Zhu Han really wants to do something to him, he doesn't have to bother to do so many things at all.

"Back to the prince, the villain has finished reading it, and the villain will sign it now."

The prince called him at this time, and Zhang Fengnian immediately understood what Zhu Han meant.

Without saying a word, he picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote his name in the dragon and phoenix.

Then also press the handprint.

After pressing it, he still didn't seem to think it was appropriate, and said to Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong beside him: "Brother Liu, Shen Xiong, this formula was researched by us together, and the two of you should also press a mudra together."

Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong, until now, are still a little top-heavy, a little unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Since Shen Wansan paid 300,000 taels of silver, the brains of the two of them have always been clouded, as if they were soaked in water.

Hearing Zhang Fengnian call them, the two subconsciously shook their heads again and again.

"Brother Zhang, I'm just doing a little favor, you can just make the decision about these things alone, and the two of us will listen to you."

Shen Xiong also nodded repeatedly: "Me too."

Seeing that the expressions of the two of them were full of fear, Zhang Fengnian was no longer forced.

said directly: "Since this is the case, then I will make the decision for the two brothers."

After speaking, he directly raised three fingers, and everyone said loudly: "This cement formula was developed by me Zhang Fengnian, Liu Shishi, Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong."

"Today, I, Zhang Fengnian, swear that no matter how much money this cement formula can earn, it will be divided equally between the four of us. If you violate this oath, let me Zhang Feng hit five thunderbolts every day, and I won't die well!"

Now it's the Ming Dynasty, and there are still many people who believe in this kind of thing.

What's more, Zhang Fengnian still swore in front of so many people that if he did something to be sorry for a few people in the future.

Even if he didn't take the oath, he would be drowned by someone else's spitting star in the future.

"Okay, I, Lin someone, admire a person like you."

"Zhang Fengnian has a chance in the future, I will definitely have a drink with you."

Many of the businessmen present began to admire Zhang Feng's character.

Zhu Han looked at it with a smile, Zhang Fengnian, this guy, if he hadn't investigated his details a long time ago.

And what he did basically did not have the shadow of future generations.

Zhu Han almost wondered if this guy would also be a traverser.

Self-marketing is quite the style of a business giant in later generations. Today, this reputation spreads, and no matter what business Zhang Fengnian does in the future, there will be many people to help him.

Even if you are unlucky that day and lose your fortune, you can make a comeback in a short time.

Not for anything else, didn't I see Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan, looking at Zhang Fengnian's eyes, they were also full of appreciation.

Unlike others, Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan can see that the play that Zhang Fengnian played just now is a show.

But then again, whether it's a show or not, the real money is taken out solidly.

If it is said that giving dividends to Liu Jiyang and Shen Xiong is moral, but giving a craftsman the same dividends, and it is also an equal share, this open-mindedness is really unusual.

This person not only has a long-term vision, but also knows how to advance and retreat. Such a person is definitely worth the investment.

Zhu Han doesn't care about these people

In my head, I was turning and turning.

directly lifted the patent authorization letter that Zhang Fengnian had just signed.

Now it's all right.

But anyone with a slightly better eye can already see clearly what the specific formula of this cement is.

While concentrating on the formula, Zhu Han smiled and said, "You may not really understand what a patent means."

"This king will take the patent of cement formula that Zhang Fengnian just signed as an example."

"As long as the imperial court approves the issuance of this patent, then in all the territories controlled by the Ming Dynasty, this patent will be protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"Whoever uses the formula in this patent." Zhu Han patted the patent certificate lightly.

"You need to pay a certain royalty to the owner of the patent. As for how much this fee is, it is up to the patent holder to decide for himself."

After listening to Zhu Han's words, someone couldn't help but ask, "But Lord Wang, if we have to pay a few thousand taels of silver for one use, do we have to pay it too?"

Zhu Han nodded as a matter of course: "Of course you have to pay, otherwise you will be violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are caught by the government, you will be fined at the light of the day, and you will be sent to hard labor at the worst."

The businessmen looked at each other, Zhu Han didn't explain, it's okay, he explained so. How do the merchants feel, just like the former dynasty Mengyuan, those strange taxes?

If you use some cement, you will pay a thousand taels of silver, how can it be like calendar money, originally it was just used to record the agricultural time, and later it was taken away by the Mengyuan government.

Seeing their strange expressions, Zhu Han smiled slightly and said, "You have to be clear, the patent certificate only protects the things produced by using these patents."

When the businessmen heard this, they all came to their senses.

His Royal Highness obviously has something to say.

When Zhu Han spoke, he held the patent book higher: "You can also see this patent book clearly. From today onwards, except for Zhang Fengnian and those authorized by Zhang Fengnian and others, no one is allowed to use the concrete made of cement and cinder written on the patent certificate."

"The officials of the imperial court, as well as the Jinyi Guard and other departments, will always inspect and will not tolerate once discovered."

"However, you must also understand that the Imperial Court only forbids the use of this recipe at will. If you use cement normally, or if you use something else instead of cinder to make concrete, there will naturally be no infringement of patent rights, and the court will not care about you."

"Someone asked me before, what if the patent holder can't afford to pay the patent fee if the patent fee is too high?"

"That's not easy, you just don't need it? This king does not believe that a living person can be suffocated by urine."

Only then did the businessmen suddenly realize.

"I see, if that's the case, the impact is not particularly great."

There are also people who lick their tongues greedily: "But if you can really apply for a patent, wouldn't you be able to make money lying down?"

"Think about it, the patent is only valid for fifty years, and after fifty years, there will be no royalties, and then no one can use it?"

All of a sudden, the merchants' expressions became extremely exciting.

There are happy and depressed, and there are also many people who are contemplative, as if they are weighing the pros and cons.

"Qi Yu Wangye, the villain has a doubt, and I ask the prince to give advice." Zhang Fengnian suddenly bowed deeply to Zhu Han and asked.

He had just won the patent, and now was the time to get attention.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Say!" Zhu Han looked at him with a smile.

Zhang Fengnian, this guy, today is turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, even if he, the prince, is not as popular as Zhang Fengnian.

He'd come to see what tricks the guy could play.

In other words, Zhu Han sincerely hopes that Zhang Fengnian can play some tricks again.

The more sensational this incident is, the more conducive it is to the spread of the patent policy.

Zhang Fengnian cleared his throat: "The villain wants to ask the prince...... This specialty

In fifty years, will it be owned only by the villain?"

Most people didn't understand what his question meant.

Only a few people's eyes lit up, and soon their eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.

Especially Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan, they only felt as if they had been electrocuted, and they were sour and numb.

Immediately, they raised their heads and looked at Zhu Han, hoping that Zhu Han would be able to say the answer in their hearts.

If that's really the case......

For these big businessmen with strong capital, it is simply great news.

Zhu Handao didn't disappoint them, nodded with a smile and replied, "Naturally not, if you don't want a long stream, you can also sell your patents directly to others."

Now all the businessmen understood that this patent could still be sold. This means that you don't have to make something yourself, you can buy it directly from the craftsman.

Moreover, it quickly occurred to them that those craftsmen had a completely different understanding of wealth from them.

In other words, they can buy patents at a relatively low price.

Some people have already begun to think about where to start.

Zhu Han added at this time: "Zhang Fengnian, for the sake of you, you are the first person to apply for a patent in Yanjing, and this king will give you another guidance."

"Although the imperial court will not stop you from selling patents, when you sell, it is best to think clearly and not to trap yourself."

"For example, you can sell all the rights to a patent directly, and in that case, the patent has nothing to do with you."

Seeing that Zhang Fengnian was still a little confused, Zhu Hanji continued: "In other words, even if you want to use this formula yourself, you need to pay the patent fee to the new patent holder."

Zhang Fengnian nodded solemnly, it seemed that he had really not thought of this aspect before.

Zhu Han changed his words: "Of course, you can also set the conditions in advance when selling. For example, you have the right to use it, or you have the right to dividends, etc."

The reason why I said all this is to avoid these businessmen from taking detours.

After all, the more perfect the patent right is, the easier it will be for the imperial court to manage, and the more benefits it will bring.

As soon as Zhu Han's words fell, Shen Wansan raised his hand impatiently: "500,000 taels!"

Zhang Fengnian didn't react for a while, why is it only 500,000 taels?

Zhou Gushan said disdainfully: "Shen Wansan, don't pretend to be a rich person if you don't have money. It's only 500,000 taels, I just want to buy the patent for this formula, what kind of spring and autumn dream do you have?"

"Old man, I'll give fifty ...... Fifty thousand taels."

Shen Wansan rolled his eyes and threw it over: "With such a big tone, I thought you were going to pay a million taels, but it turned out to be such a small amount of money?" Five...... Five hundred and sixty thousand taels!"

Once again, the two began bidding.

Someone ridiculed disdainfully: "Anyway, he is also a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty, don't you think it's too embarrassing to add just 12,000 taels and 10,000 taels?"

Someone immediately retorted, "It's really a toad yawning, what a big breath. A price increase is 10,000 taels, you have the ability to calculate, whether you are worth 10,000 taels of silver, let's blow the atmosphere again."

Immediately the man who uttered the wild words shrank his neck and said no more.

Zhou Gushan increased the price again, and after Shen Wansan followed up and shouted to 580,000 taels, there was no movement.

Zhu Han glared at the two of them angrily: "Why do you two pinch as soon as you meet, how big are you?"

Shen Wansan and the two of them just laughed awkwardly.

The fight between the two of them is a real fight, but isn't this a means of self-preservation?

Shen Wansan's business, with the expansion of Daming's territory, is also expanding rapidly.

Not to mention Zhou Gushan, the sea trade routes he mastered reached almost one-fifth of the entire Ming Dynasty.

whole

Da Ming, apart from the imperial court, the two of them are the richest people.

If these two are like this, the businessmen with a huge business empire are as close as siblings......

How could the imperial court rest assured?

And they are just merchants, and if the imperial court really wants to clean them up, they don't even have the ability to resist.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Zhu Han reprimanded him lightly: "Zhang Fengnian hasn't decided to sell it yet, you two will fight first, look at your chances."

Zhang Fengnian hesitated for a moment, gave Zhu Han a deep bow, and then did the same in the direction of Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan.

"Lord Wang, Boss Shen, Boss Zhou, the matter is very important, can you allow the villain to discuss, please rest assured, at most one cup of tea, the villain will definitely reply to you."

"Good! This king happens to have nothing to do today, so I should witness the first transfer of patent rights in our Ming Dynasty."

Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan naturally had no reason to refuse, and nodded one after another.

The first thing Zhang Fengnian did was not to discuss with Liu Jiyang Shenxiong, but to call a junior second in Jufeng Building.

Throw the money to Xiao Eryi: "Little brother, please go to my family's construction site and call Master Liu Shishi over."

They are also frequent visitors here, and Xiao Er is naturally very familiar with them.

"Master Zhang, wait a minute, the villain will go back when he goes." took the money and ran out of Jufeng Building with a puff of smoke.

After a while, he brought back a man in his early thirties, with dark skin and a weathered face.

Although it can be seen that this person is also in his thirties, but the vicissitudes of life, said to be more than four, I am afraid that some people believe it.

"Boss, you call me?" Liu Shishi was still a little nervous when he saw so many people, and his palms kept rubbing his clothes.
