Chapter 112 Don't Work After Giving Money

The great magician Ferguson choked up suddenly, his expression slightly embarrassed.

The middle-aged magician was right. The so-called "magic patent" and even the entire patent concept were proposed by Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, several years ago. The union submitted an application to the headquarters of the Magician's Union, and was finally approved under the approval of the headquarters of the Magician's Union.

Since this concept was entirely proposed by Xu Yi, then of course Xu Yi has the most say in this matter.

Now the union headquarters claims that Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have no relevant powers, so it's no wonder they are dissatisfied.

After a moment of silence, the great magician Ferguson coughed lightly, and said seriously: "It is true that Chairman Xu first proposed this concept. But since this concept involves magic and magicians, it already belongs to the jurisdiction of our magicians union. Moreover, after President Xu first proposed this concept, his original purpose was to use the power of the Magicians Union to carry out any and protection for the patent concept he proposed. Am I right, President Xu?"

Xu Yi nodded lightly: "That's right. The reason why I hoped that the magician's union would recognize the concept of patents was to rely on the ability of the magician's union to form protection for patents, so that the research on magic machinery would have a better chance. room for development."

"That's right." Seeing that Xu Yi admitted this frankly, the great magician Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief. "Since President Xu himself agreed that our magicians union has this power, and took the initiative to hand over the qualification to exercise this power to our union headquarters. Now, he wants to form a magic machinery patent protection union on his own. For what?"

"Your Excellency, Great Mage Ferguson, you seem to have made a mistake." Xu Yi smiled.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"I proposed the concept of patents to the headquarters of the Magicians' Union. I really hope to protect the magical patent rights of us magicians through the power of the Magicians' Union. But you have overlooked a problem. While obtaining the protection of the patent from the Magicians' Union Headquarters , We all paid the price. I don’t know anything else, just our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the patent protection fee handed over to the Magician’s Union in the past year exceeded an astonishing 140,000 gold coins. A penny..."

The great magician Ferguson snorted coldly: "What? Isn't it natural to ask the trade union to protect your patents and spend some money?"

"Of course, of course it should be. I never deny this." Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked bluntly: "But, great magician Ferguson. You have to figure out one thing. We ask Magic The Mage Union pays the patent protection fee because it believes that the Mage Union has the ability to protect our patent rights. So this is our active choice, not a must."

"What do you mean by that?" The great magician Ferguson's expression changed. "Does your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce want to break away from the patent protection of our Magician's Union?"

"What I mean by this sentence is that since we can choose to pay the patent protection fee to the Magician Union. In exchange for the protection of the patent by the Magician Union. Then of course we can choose not to pay this money..."

"Then you will lose the protection of your patents from the Magician's Guild!" Great Magician Ferguson interrupted Xu Yi's words unceremoniously.

"Yes, that's true. But this means that we have the ability to actively choose, instead of having to pay patent protection fees to the Magicians Union. Great Magician Ferguson, do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yidao.

"So you plan to organize a magic machinery patent protection association by yourself, collect this patent protection fee, and protect these patents yourself?" The great magician Ferguson sneered. "President Xu, do you think...you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has the ability to do this? I can tell you clearly, except for our Magicians Union. No other organization on the Sainz continent can do it at this point!"

"I admit what you said, at least right now. But..." Xu Yi stared at the great magician Ferguson with extremely sharp eyes. "Since the headquarters of the Magician's Union can no longer protect our patents, of course we can only rely on ourselves to find a way. No matter how many difficulties we face, this must be done."

Stared by Xu Yi's gaze, the great magician Ferguson involuntarily turned his head slightly to avoid Xu Yi's gaze.

"President Xu, I don't understand what you mean. Why do you say that our Magicians Union cannot protect your patents?"

"You really don't understand?" Xu Yi smiled and nodded to the researchers sitting beside him.

The researchers got up together and walked out of the conference room.

Just when the great magician Ferguson was wondering, it didn't take long for them to come in again with two elves and three dwarves, and at the same time brought in several household magic machines.

"President Xu, what are you doing?" the great magician Ferguson couldn't help asking.

Xu Yi didn't answer, but just gestured to those people.

The middle-aged male researcher who asked the great magician Ferguson before moved a magic fan to the table, pointed to it and said, "Your Excellency, great magician, do you know this magic fan?"

The great magician Ferguson glanced at the magic fan inexplicably, and shook his head.

"This magic fan is not the new flying brand magic fan produced by our chamber of commerce, but was discovered from the Candela Empire." The middle-aged male researcher continued. "To put it simply, it is another magical fan designed and produced by another chamber of commerce whose name we don't yet know."

"Why? What's so strange about this? As far as I know, besides your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are dozens of chambers of commerce that can produce magic fans, right?" said the great magician Ferguson.

"That's right. But apart from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, if other chambers of commerce want to produce magic fans, they must obtain the relevant patent authorization from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will violate the patent protection regulations of the Magicians Union. You should be very clear about one point, right?" asked the middle-aged male researcher.

"Well. That's it..." The great magician Ferguson glanced at the magic fan again, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart.

The middle-aged male researcher pointed to the base part of the magic fan, and continued: "All the merchants who have obtained our patent authorization. Our chamber of commerce has notes. But this magic fan does not have any of these chambers of commerce that has obtained patent authorization. The brand logo, so I can be sure that this magic fan must have stolen the relevant patents of our chamber of commerce on the magic fan!"

The great magician Ferguson frowned: "How can you be sure of this?"

The middle-aged male researcher glanced at him with a hint of contempt in his expression.

"Your Excellency the great magician Ferguson, you should surpass me in magic ability, but in terms of understanding of magic machinery, I am undoubtedly much better than you."

The great magician Ferguson was furious. This sentence is clearly saying that he, a layman, is not qualified to raise doubts!

"Then what do you mean after talking for a long time?" the great magician Ferguson said angrily.

"Don't you understand?" The middle-aged male researcher looked surprised. "The patent of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been so clearly violated, and your Magician's Union has not only failed to study how to punish this. In order to protect the patent of our chamber of commerce, even our chamber of commerce is now trying to use its own strength. When protecting your own patents, you still have to forcibly stop them! Your Excellency the great magician Ferguson, can you tell me about the patent protection fees that our Chamber of Commerce handed over to the headquarters. Where have you used them?"

The other party said "you" one by one, which made the great magician Ferguson very upset.

This guy is obviously a ninth-level magician, but he has no sense of belonging to the Magician's Union, and when he calls Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he uses "we" in one mouthful. The Great Magician, one of the members of the Elder Council of the Teachers' Union, was very dissatisfied.

But the question asked by the other party was real, and he had to answer it.

After pondering for a moment. The great magician Ferguson said seriously: "About this matter, as long as you report it to the union headquarters. Of course, the headquarters will conduct a thorough investigation and do everything possible to protect your patents. But this kind of matter cannot be resolved in a day or two, it will take some time In addition, this has nothing to do with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's private establishment of the Magic Machinery Patent Protection Union, and you cannot deny the union's efforts to protect patents just because your patent has been violated once."

"Work hard?" The middle-aged male researcher sneered. "Your Excellency Ferguson, when our chamber of commerce discovered a similar situation for the first time and filed an application for patent protection with the trade union headquarters, it has been more than half a year now. During the past six months, the patent violations we discovered can be It’s far more than just this case.”

The other researchers, the two elves and the three dwarves put the household magic machines on the table and started to introduce them.

Just like the situation described by the middle-aged male researcher, these household magic machines are not produced by other unknown chambers of commerce that have not been authorized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, they have violated the patent rights of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"We pay a lot of patent protection fees to the Magician Union every year, but we can't get the corresponding protection from the union, so why should we trust the union? Why can't we find a way by ourselves?"

Facing the middle-aged male researcher's questioning, the great magician Ferguson was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Yi.

"President Xu, is this what you mean?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "From a business point of view, it's very simple. I paid money but didn't work, so why should I give it again?"

The great magician Ferguson looked at Xu Yi with a gloomy face: "So, you don't intend to accept the resolution of the union headquarters? Have you thought through the consequences of doing so?"

Xu Yi looked at him squarely: "The purpose of the Magician's Guild is to bring help to the magicians on Sainz Continent and protect their interests. If this cannot be achieved, and the rights and interests of the magicians are deprived instead, There is no need for the Magician's Guild to exist at all."

The great magician Ferguson was startled, and then laughed back in anger.

"Good! Good! President Xu, if you do this, don't regret it!"

After saying that, he walked away. (To be continued..)
