Chapter 71 Make Your Own Patent Law
"Hey, Xu Yi, I've only been lost for a month and haven't come back. You actually made such a bad decision again. Are you going to be mad at me?" He also complained: "What are you selling is not good, why do you have to sell technology? Are our new flight companies very short of money now?"
Xu Yi looked at Heinze with a smile, not only did he not look angry at him, but instead felt a little inexplicable intimacy.
As Heinze said, last month because Rhea took the child to Kalmar City, Heinze simply lost it for a month and did not come back.
However, this time when he came back early, he found Xu Yi directly, and Zhang Mou complained about his decision at the press conference.
"Who said we were short of money?" Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "According to Sebas's statistics, the total profit of our chamber of commerce last month was higher than that of July, reaching an astonishing 480,000 gold coins. In addition, there was no place to spend money last month, how could it be? I'm short of money."
"Then tell me, why do you want to sell technology?" Seeing Xu Yi's unconcerned expression, Heinze only felt that anger rose up in his heart. "Even if you sell technology, why sell all the related technology of the entire magic kettle?"
"Don't you think there would be such a stupid business guild who came to buy only a part of the technology, but when they bought it back, they couldn't even produce a magic kettle?" Xu Yi said.
"No one is that stupid, but this time I think you are stupid!" Heinze said loudly. "Didn't you always tell me before that technology is the foundation of a chamber of commerce, especially for a chamber of commerce that relies on technology leadership like our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Now you have sold all the technology of the magic kettle. Don't you plan to let us produce our own magic hot pot?"
"Well. That's exactly what I intended."
Heinze thought that Xu Yi would still have two arguments. But he didn't expect that he would nod to admit it so directly, and was suddenly choked up.
After taking a few breaths, Heinze tried his best to calm down his excitement, and asked Xu Yi seriously, "Tell me honestly, why? I know that no matter what decision you make, you always have your own ideas. But this time I can't figure out how selling technology will benefit our new pilot."
"If I told you, I didn't think about selling the technology for our own benefit. What would you think?" Xu Yi asked.
"You!" Heinze widened his eyes, and immediately forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and gave Xu Yi a fierce look. "I will be mad at you sooner or later. Well, even if your decision this time is not for our own benefit, then tell me, what is it for?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm joking. This decision will not benefit our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the time being, but in the long run, it will actually be very beneficial."
"Where's the benefit?"
"To put it bluntly, I want to be able to popularize magic machinery faster. That's why I sell all the technology of the magic kettle. In this way, those chambers of commerce that buy the technology can truly produce complete magic power. The kettle is coming. And this time, I also promised that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not produce the magic kettle. Then they don't have to worry about the strong competition from our Xinfei brand magic kettle, and they will increase their investment without any scruples. "Xu Yi said.
"If that's the case, we can promote magic machinery just as we can produce the magic kettle ourselves. Why do we hand over all the profits of the magic kettle because we are in a hurry?" Heinze was not so anxious at this time, calmly Xiang Xu Yi analyzed; "According to my estimation, the magic hot water kettle is used by almost every family because of its cheap price and high frequency of use. Once it is launched, the sales will be very high. I don't believe what I can estimate. , you can't count."
"Of course I can." Xu Yi nodded. "But Heinze, have you calculated the profit of a magic kettle?"
Heinze thought for a moment, then frowned and replied: "Although it is definitely not as good as the magic air conditioner, the magic freezer, or even the automatic magic rice cooker, but I think it should be about the same profit as the magic fan. I don’t think it’s a problem for seven or eighty silver coins. In addition, the sales volume must be very high, and the overall profit is still very good.”
Xu Yi slowly shook his head: "No, you are too optimistic. In fact, according to my estimation, the price of the magic hot water bottle is difficult to exceed one gold coin, so no matter how high its profit is, it is difficult to reach seventy or eighty silver."
Heinze was a little puzzled: "Why can't you set the price a little higher? Anyway, as long as you don't sell the technology, only our chamber of commerce will produce the magic kettle. Even if the price is higher, I think the people who should buy it will still buy it. of."
"No, this time is different. We used to be able to set prices arbitrarily, and it was indeed because only one of our chambers of commerce produced it. But the Magic Kettle has the example of the Great Chamber of Commerce, and everyone knew about it in advance, so there is no such thing. The freshness and impact will inevitably affect the price. And you should be very clear, in fact, the technical content of the magic kettle is not high, as long as those chambers of commerce who have certain research on magic machinery are willing to put a lot of effort into research, they will definitely be able to do it themselves. research it."
"But the magic hot pot they produce is definitely not as good as our Xinfei brand. What are you afraid of?" Heinze said in disbelief.
Xu Yi shook his head gently: "The reason why our Xinfei brand magic machinery is better than the magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce is mainly due to its outstanding industrial design. In fact, the industrial design characteristics of this magic kettle have already been known to everyone. Then there is no unique leading edge like before, so in fact we are not much stronger than the magic kettle made by other chambers of commerce."
After hearing Xu Yi's answer, Heinze couldn't help but glared at Xu Yi again: "If you didn't tell these secrets one by one at that press conference, how could others know about our unique industrial design?"
Xu Yi grinned: "What if I told you that I did it on purpose?"
Heinze was taken aback: "Could it be that you have already prepared to sell the technology of the magic kettle?"
"Of course, otherwise you thought I didn't choose anything, but let Evita pick out part of the magic kettle technology and let Rem steal it?"
Heinze couldn't help looking up and down at Xu Yi, and sighed, "Xu Yi, I suddenly found out that you are such a sinister guy."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Yi smiled and continued: "So, even if I don't sell the magic hot water pot technology, it doesn't mean much to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the profits we keep in our hands are not worth much. There will be a lot, so it’s better to sell it.”
Heince gave Xu Yi a look: "You didn't ask for it yourself. If you dealt with that Rem immediately when you found out that there was a problem, how could so many things happen."
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, thinking that Heinze's petty attitude could not be changed.
In his opinion, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered a loss in this matter, so he was very upset.
If you want to reverse his thinking, you can only consider his thinking.
Xu Yi thought for a while and said to Heince, "Actually, when it comes to the benefits of this matter to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not all of them are long-term. In the near future, there are still great benefits."
Heinze really showed an interested look: "Really? What's the benefit? Let's talk about it."
"First, in fact, this time, the technology we sell the magic hot water bottle is not just a single chamber of commerce, but fixed prices and terms. All chambers of commerce who are willing to buy and accept these terms can buy it, so this is over. In less than a week, more than two dozen chambers of commerce have approached us about purchasing technology."
Heinze was shocked: "How is the situation? How many merchants are willing to buy? How much are they going to pay?"
"It's not clear yet. But based on their enthusiasm, I estimate that there will be at least 15 chambers of commerce that are very willing to buy. My price for the relevant technology is 10,000 gold coins in total, and the chambers of commerce that purchase the technology will each be willing to buy. To produce a magic kettle, you must pay a silver coin to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
"It's a bit like our previous cooperation model with the Farsack Chamber of Commerce." Heinze interjected.
"Well, it's a bit similar. But this time, I plan to continue this pattern for a long time." Xu Yi smiled. "I had been expecting that the Kingdom Council would introduce a patent law, but it never came true. Since the Kingdom Council doesn't care, we will do it ourselves. As long as there are enough chambers of commerce to buy our technology and sign this agreement, It is equivalent to these chambers of commerce buying our patents. If this model is gradually popularized and accepted by everyone in the future, it is equivalent to us coming up with a patent law by ourselves.”
Heinze thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, this is indeed a good method. But we can only get a profit of one silver coin for each magic kettle, which is really too little... …”
Seeing Heinze sighing there, Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You may think that this amount of money is very small now, but trust me, you will find out in the future that we can count on every magic kettle. You can get a silver coin profit by doing nothing, which is actually quite a lot. Because it will not be long before the profiteering era of household magic machinery will come to an end.”
Heinze stared blankly at Xu Yi.
No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he had to admit that Xu Yi was right at all.
Competition can lead to progress, but competition is more likely to thin profits.
This truth has been verified in all industries on the Sainz Continent. Although the magic machinery industry is a brand new industry, it absolutely cannot escape this iron rule.
The only thing Heinze could do was to pray that the sooner the time came, the better. (To be continued..)
