Chapter 521: Free Licensing of Patents?

"By the way, your previous exile is likely to be secretly promoted by the imperial government...... Diana said suddenly.

"Oh? The Imperial Government secretly pushed? Luo Yin raised his eyebrows.

"Because the demise of the Capetian family is a good thing for both the other nine families and the imperial government. They have common interests...... That's why I didn't doubt my own people before......"

...... "Good guys! The inner ghost, the nine major families, and the imperial government are targeting the Capet family at the same time, and the Capet family has been able to hold on to it so far, so it is a relatively light punishment to exile him...... Of course, that's what he said, but Luo Yin won't forgive them.

Whether it is the inner ghost, the nine families, or the imperial government, they are all recorded on the blacklist by Luo Yin.

The days to come are still long, and there is no hurry. After hanging up the call with Diana, Luo Yin's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Although he was affected by this struggle between the imperial government and his family, his current identity is a self-made capitalist and has nothing to do with his family.

Is there a chance that he will take advantage of this...... It's not that he likes to take advantage, it's purely because he's a victim now.

The victim can't ask for some benefits! But after thinking about it, Luo Yin still forgot it. He only has some connections with the state government now, and he has nothing to do with the imperial government, so it doesn't matter if he wants to take advantage of it, it's somewhat difficult.

"Forget it, let's keep a low profile this time......" Shaking his head, Luo Yin was not ready to participate in the affairs between the Imperial Government and the Ten Great Families for the time being.

However, the next day, the Imperial Government suddenly arrived. Luo Yin was originally in Haitang Investment Bank, but after hearing that people from the imperial government had come to Hengyun Group, he turned around and went to Hengyun Group.

"Hello Mr. Jack! It's better to be famous than to meet! I'm Edmund, Councilor Tim's secretary...... "The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and Luo Yin hadn't seen him.

But Royin had heard of Councillor Tim, a congressman with a good reputation within the Cases Empire.

"Hello, I'm Jack." The two sides got to know each other briefly. Then Edmund talked to Luo Yindong without mentioning what he was here for.

In the face of Edmund's ink, Luo Yin was silent. His time is valuable, but he also has money and doesn't care about wasting it.

Edmund didn't expect this Mr. Jack to be so determined, there was no way, seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he could only take the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Jack, our Congressman Tim has always believed that the cigarette is a great invention! Countless people have tasted such delicious and convenient tobacco because of you! You are the father of cigarettes! In the face of Edmund's compliment, Luo Yin just smiled and did not answer.

Edmund was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly covered it up, and then asked Luo Yin, "Doesn't Mr. Jack want to do something for our people on cigarettes anymore?" Then your father of cigarettes will forever—"

"No, it's fine now." Before Edmund could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Yin. This made him a little upset, but instead of showing it, he laughed.

"Haha, Mr. Jack is so humorous." After laughing, Edmund suddenly changed his words and looked serious.

"Councilor Tim thinks you should do something for the majority of smokers...... Luo Yin raised his eyebrows, then didn't say anything, just looked at Edmund quietly.

...... "Why don't you ask what to do!" Edmund feels that he is very uncomfortable now, the other party has not followed his routine!

Edmund didn't speak, and neither did Luo Yin. Luo Yin looked silent and suddenly got up.

"Since Mr. Edmund is all the other to do, I'll go first. Welcome to come back next time. ”

"......" Edmund took a deep breath, and then said, "Mr. Jack, Councilor Tim thinks that you should license the patent of cigarettes to everyone for free, so that those other companies can also participate in the production of cigarettes, so that cigarettes can benefit more people!" Luo Yin glanced at him and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, Mr. Edmund, with all due respect, your joke isn't funny at all." Edmund said with a serious face, "Mr. Jack, I'm not kidding. ”

"Then are you a fool to say such a brainless thing?" Luo Yin's face suddenly changed and looked at the other party with disgust.

"......" Edmund was stunned. Ever since he entered politics – no, for as long as he can remember – he has not been subjected to such direct abuse...... He was stunned for five seconds, and then he said with an ugly face: "Mr. Jack, I am talking to you very seriously, please respect me......"

"I'm sorry, I'm not talking to Shabi, goodbye." After speaking, Luo Yin left without looking back.

"......" Edmund watched Luo Yin leave, and then he reacted, he seemed to be scolded again......

"Huh—" But soon, a surging smile resurfaced on his face. The reason why this Mr. Jack is so angry is actually a manifestation of incompetent rage.

Although he has a tough attitude, he has no capital to resist in the face of Congressman Tim! Edmund swaggered out of the Hengyun Group.

Upstairs. Luo Yin looked at the figure of the other party leaving, but his face was not as angry as Edmund imagined.

He was indeed angry, but it was not enough to say that he was angry, after all, he had seen many shameless people. He just wanted to scold that Edmund.

As for the free authorization of cigarettes, Luo Yin can only say that this Tim Councilor thinks too much. It's a cash cow, can he give it up?

Although he is not short of money, no one will have trouble with it. Councillor Tim has any moves, just make it, he frowns and counts him as losing!

Luo Yin couldn't be clearer about what moves these councilors have, because he is also a member of the council in some places and knows the twists and turns in this.

All his business is legal, and he is not afraid of stumbling blocks from congressmen. If Tim had the ability to say that Congress would raise taxes on him alone, then he really couldn't help it.

But if there are people in the imperial government who really dare not care about reputation and the law, and have to do this, then Luo Yinjing is a man...... And not to mention, Luo Yin is now a big celebrity in the state government of Bida, and there are many people in the state government who are on his side.

All of his taxes were paid to the state government, including royalties. If the patent is granted to everyone for free, then he will lose countless patent fees and countless taxes, and it is no wonder that the government of Bida can agree.

So Luo Yin is not worried, although that Tim is a councilor, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand.

However, Luo Yin was very curious, why did the other party want him to give up the patent......

"Someone!" So, Luo Yin called his little secretary and asked her to sort out the information about Councilor Tim.

It didn't take long for the little secretary to twist Xiao Man's waist and come over. Luo Yin took the information, ignored the little secretary's eyebrows, and looked at it carefully.

“…… I see! Although there is no answer on the information, Luo Yin deduced the answer from these materials.

The Cases Empire's presidency is a six-year term, and there is still a year left before the change. Many legislators who have the idea of running for election have already begun to prepare.

Tim naturally has the idea of running for president as well, and lately he has been making wild appearances to gain popularity.

If he can really say that Luo Yin gave up the cigarette patent and then put this credit on himself, he can definitely gain the support of a large number of people.

After all, without patents, other companies can also make cigarettes, and the more companies there are, the more competition there is, and the more affordable the price is.

In addition, Luo Yin does not charge patent fees, the cost of cigarettes will be much lower, and the price will be reduced!

This seems to be a matter of benefiting the people. It is equivalent to sacrificing Luo Yin to benefit the people, parliamentarians, and even the government - after all, there are more companies that make cigarettes, and there will be more government taxes.

Of course, it was Councillor Tim who benefited the most. This will be one of the most powerful contributions to his campaign for the next president.

"What a plan!" Luo Yin smiled. But no matter how good the plan is, everything is legal for him, and as long as he doesn't want to, then this cigarette patent will never be free.

After that day, Edmund came a few more times. Every time he was full of smiles, he didn't feel that he had been scolded by Luo Yin at all.

And Luo Yin didn't take the initiative to see him later, only once he was squatted by him, and the rest of the time, Luo Yin didn't meet him.

After a few more days, Edmund didn't come back. Luo Yin thought that Councillor Tim was finally going to make a move, but he waited for a long time and there was nothing.

Since the other party doesn't make a move, or can't find a place to make a move, then Luo Yin doesn't bother to care about them. Haitang Investment Bank still has a lot of things waiting for him to be busy.

Since the beginning of this month, Haitang Investment Bank has invested in many industries. And it has successfully attracted foreign investment.

It's not much, adding up to just over two billion, but it's a good start. Then Luo Yin set up several funds, all of which invested in a certain direction.

These things have losses and profits, but on the whole they are small profits, which makes this first batch of customers very satisfied. Haitang Investment Bank charged a small fee and made a little money.

Then there is the previous investment in those 100 companies, I have to say that Luo Yin's vision is really good.

Not to mention the 20 large enterprises, they are basically all profitable. Let's just say that one-third of these 80 small businesses are profitable!

Although it doesn't make much, this percentage of money is still amazing. Especially when these large and small enterprises all add up, so that the profit of Begonia Angel Fund in a month has reached 2%, many people who are waiting and watching can't sit still.

2% profit a month is 24% a year! No matter what investment can achieve a profit of more than 20% a year, it is a good investment!

And this Begonia Angel Investment Fund is not the same as other investments, and other investments have to wait for a long time if they want to return.

And it can't be divested. But the Begonia Angel Investment Fund is different, or rather, the funds in the Begonia Investment Bank are different.

Most of these funds can be invested at any time and can be withdrawn at any time! However, the shorter the time, the higher the fee.

But there is an essential difference between what can be taken and what cannot be taken. This flexibility alone kills most of the investments.

It's not even like an investment, it's like depositing money in the Begonia Investment Bank, and then the Begonia Investment Bank gives you a high interest.

For many wealthy people, they need a certain amount of cash in case they need it, but it is a waste to put it there and not use it.

I don't dare to invest it, in case I get trapped, and I just use the money, and I will be in trouble...... So it's a little uncomfortable.

And this fund of Haitang Investment Bank is exactly in line with their situation. You can take it as you go, even if you really lose, you won't lose too much, they can take it out before they lose too much.

Of course, you won't make too much money, and there will be no windfall profits from stocks or anything. But if it is a stock, they don't dare to invest in it, they want a low risk, can be taken at any time, and stable.

Therefore, many people want to buy Begonia Angel Investment Fund, but unfortunately, this fund Begonia Investment Bank is not sold for the time being.

However, their other funds can be bought. Although the profit is not as high as this, it is better to make money to some extent than to put money in the bank and eat ashes.

As a result, more people are coming to buy other funds. The funds in the hands of Haitang Investment Bank began to slowly expand.

On the other hand, the sales of Xingyun cigarettes in the first month of listing have finally been counted. Although she had expected it, Andrea still rubbed her eyes in disbelief when she saw this number.

"I feel like I've seen so much money for the first time in my life, even if it's just a string of numbers now......" Andrea muttered to herself.

In August, when Xingyun cigarettes were listed, a total of 19 billion sales were sold! An average of more than 600 million a day!

As for the sales of Tengyun cigarettes, they were naturally affected by Xingyun cigarettes, only 50 billion.

Of course, this

"Only" is relative to Xingyun cigarettes, and compared with his company's cigarettes, the sales volume is still much more.

The combined sales of Tengyun cigarettes and Xingyun cigarettes this month are 26 billion! Sold 26 billion in a month!

This may have broken the record in the tobacco industry. It's just that in the past, those companies that sold tobacco didn't publish monthly sales, so there was no way to compare.

But in any case, this number definitely makes countless people red-eyed. According to the profits announced by Hengyun Group before, their cigarettes have about 30% of the profits, that is to say, Hengyun Group's monthly profits are 8 billion!

If Hengyun Group has such a high profit every month in the future, wouldn't it be nearly 100 billion profits a year?

So how much is the market value of Hengyun Group? I'm afraid it's not trillions! Andrea's breathing was a little rapid.

At present, in the Case Empire, there are no companies with a trillion market capitalization! Is she going to witness a history......
