Possibly thinking of the tragic situation in Longyou again, Tang Jian's eyes were a little red. Although they were all Xue Ju's subjects before, in the end they were all Han people. His compatriots were so raped by foreigners, but he had nothing to do. He felt in his heart.
It is conceivable that Tang Jian barely expressed his meaning clearly, so he bowed and bowed.
Xiao Han was so frightened by Tang Jian's gift that he jumped aside like a spring and waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Tang, what are you doing? I didn't intend to keep all this cement by myself. I have already written the recipe."
, I originally wanted to give it to the King of Qin, but I was worried about it being unsafe. It just so happened that this time Brother Tang came and could bring it to the King of Qin for me. His fiefdom is close to Longyou, and it is easier to get materials nearby and make it directly than to transport it from me.
There’s so much!”
"What? Xiao Hou has already written down the recipe?"
Tang Jian was suddenly startled and straightened up his body suddenly, as if he was meeting Xiao Han for the first time. He stared straight at Xiao Han's face, as if he was trying to spot a flower!
Xiao Han's old face was a little confused. He turned away and sighed: "Hey, Old Tang, you know me. A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. Although Xiao Han is not talented, he can benefit the world by plucking a hair.
Xiao Han is still willing to do the things..."
After finishing these carefully prepared words in the deepest voice, Xiao Han stood facing the wind, his green shirt moving with the wind. Just looking at his back, he really looked like a peerless knight. Unfortunately, not only was he missing a
A sword, and because I hit the fool too hard, I damaged the bones of my fingers, so now I can only keep rubbing my hands, and half of my image as a knight has disappeared...
However, Xiao Han's image of a great knight serving the country and the people is destined to be felt only by himself. Tang Jian is now so shocked that he can't speak. Others are far away because they saw the two talking. Xiao Han is so full of true feelings.
There was no response from anyone, which really made Xiao Han feel embarrassed again.
"Ahem... This cement has just been discovered. It has so many excellent properties. It is definitely a good thing. I dare say that in the future, cement will definitely replace Sanhe soil and other city building materials! It will become an indispensable and important thing for building houses and cities in the future.
! Even building roads, bridges, and flood control towers are inseparable from it!"
In order to prevent embarrassment and to let Tang Jian know how much sacrifice he had made, Xiao Han had to tell him about the functions of cement that he could think of. Of course, this time, Tang Jian finally responded.
After straightening his clothes, Tang Jian bowed to Xiao Han profoundly, and said to Xiao Han in a sincere tone: "I am really ashamed of Xiaohou's fist-fighting attitude. Please accept Tang Jian's bow!"
"Ahem...Brother Tang, wait a minute. I haven't finished talking yet. I want to charge a patent fee for this cement..."
"Charge? Patent fee?"
Poor Tang Jian almost choked and died on the spot. The great image Xiao Han had just established in his heart suddenly fell to the bottom. From a saint to a businessman who fell into the eyes of money, he was also a profiteer!
"Dare I ask Xiao Hou, what is the patent fee?!" Tang Jian gritted his teeth and asked Xiao Han.
"Hahaha... come on, come on, let's talk as we walk!" Seeing people coming around, Xiao Han laughed and hugged Tang Jian's shoulders and walked forward. As he walked, he said in detail: "Brother Tang, Old Tang,
Don't be angry, just listen to me first, I invented this cement!"
"yes!"
"In order to invent this thing, I forgot all about food and sleep, and even lost a lot of hair. Admit it!"
"admit!"
Tang Jian nodded fiercely, but he had already cursed in his heart. If you didn't ask for help, I would never believe your words. With your cunning temper, you will die of injustice if you skip one meal. Just look at how you spend a day in the army.
You can tell by the look after two meals. Are you still forgetting to eat and sleep? Just dream!
Xiao Han didn't care about Tang Jian's disgusted expression as if he had eaten a big-headed fly, but he smiled even happier: "Look, in order to make this thing more useful in the future, I have invested manpower and material resources in researching better things. It costs a lot, right?"
!”
"No... less!" Tang Jian felt like his teeth were about to be broken. Before Xiao Han could think of any other tricks, he quickly interjected: "Xiao Hou, I know all this. You have paid so much.
It's not too much to take a commission, but I wonder how much you want...the patent fee?"
"Haha, no more, no more!"
Xiao Hanle smiled brightly, took Tang Jian's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I'm not ignorant. This cement is used for military and national construction, and I won't take any money from it!"
Tang Jian nodded, thinking that although Xiao Han was a bit unreliable in some places, as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was really doing his best for the Tang Dynasty!
Tang Jian was thinking about his, but Xiao Han was vomiting about his own: "However, if this cement is used for commercial purposes, the princes and marquises build a house, and the rich businessmen build a shop, I want this
I’ll take some share, not much, just 10% of the profit, and it’s not required every year. I’ll only take this 10% share for ten years. Look, don’t be greedy!”
"You don't want the country's money? You want 10% of other people's money?" Tang Jian was already prepared for Xiao Han's big talk, but in the end, after hearing this, it seemed that Xiao Han didn't really want much.
Seeing Xiao Han nodding in confirmation, Tang Jian touched his beard, thought about it in his mind, and then said slowly: "Xiao Hou's condition is to be given to King Qin. I have no right to agree on behalf of King Qin. However, if it is really as Xiao Hou said,
Say, I think King Qin has no reason to refuse!"
"Hahahaha, Brother Tang thinks I'm real enough, I just make a little money, just a little money..."
Hearing what Tang Jian said, Xiao Hanle's mouth opened wide. He looked at Tang Jian next to him and wondered for a while, not understanding why Xiao Han was so proud.
Of course Xiao Han is proud. In this world, Xiao Han can be said to be the person with the most far-sighted vision. The blind fortune teller on the street can at most say that he knows five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight, but Xiao Han only knows a thousand years in hindsight.
Five hundred years!
This extra insight is the biggest foundation for Xiao Han's success! It allows Xiao Han to see things that others can't see. Tang Jian is a smart man, and even he didn't see how this one percent of people would change in the future.
How much profit can be made? Others don’t even have this vision!
What is the most profitable thing in this world? Monopoly!
As long as Xiao Han monopolizes the exclusive rights to this cement and waits until the cement is used in all corners of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is only ten years, this wealth will make everyone in the world jealous!
I think back when Tesla invented alternating current and obtained the patent for alternating current. If he hadn't died young, this patent royalty alone would have killed all the world's richest men in an instant!
"Brother Tang, as you can see, this deal is definitely a good one. How about you also take part in it? Only when everyone gets rich is getting rich. You and I are all acquaintances. The conditions are the same as those of King Qin. People's profits are for the benefit of the people.
10%, no money will be collected after ten years, what do you think?"
He was so proud that everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of Tesla, which made Xiao Han's heart tremble violently.
Eating alone is not a good idea. It is too hateful. My great ideals have not been realized yet, and my wife has not married yet. I don’t want to die so early! Tie the good people around you to the chariot.
This is the right thing to do!
"You said, I can do it too?"
Tang Jian was shocked again, and his voice trembled when he spoke. Since ancient times, who has a good secret recipe and doesn't hide it quickly and wait to pass it on to future generations? How can anyone be like Xiao Han, who just gives it away to everyone he sees?
Although you have to receive ten years' contribution, it's only 10%, and it's only ten years. What's the difference between this and giving it away for free!
"Old Tang, look at you, why are you so surprised? Not only can you do it, Chai Shao, Liu Hongji, they can do it! By the way, we won't let the Ministry of Works and those who don't like it do it, why don't we brothers work together?
I want to make some money first. If you have a wife and children at home, no one will mind the money coming in, right? Besides, the cement has no cost at all. Build a kiln, hire two workers, and wait at home.
Just count the money! It’s neither corrupt nor illegal, so you can rest assured when you spend the money!”
"Xiao Hou, wait, I'm a little confused..." Tang Jian covered his head and squatted on the ground. People who have never experienced this kind of franchise business model will not understand the development speed of this model, let alone know that they are participating in it.
The more people there are, the more money Xiao Han makes...
Tang Jian thought about it for a long time, thinking about it inside and out. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became! As for why Xiao Han was so generous, he could only attribute it to Xiao Han's prodigal temper again...
"Okay, since Xiao Hou is so generous, I won't be coy about it. When I get home, I will send the housekeeper over as soon as possible to discuss the matter!"
After the conversation started, everyone got the benefits, and the atmosphere became much more lively when we talked again.
Tang Jian and Xiao Han walked forward side by side with their hands behind their backs. From time to time, they made a little joke or two, and laughed a few times together. With their common interests, their relationship became closer.
Passing by the only large house that had its roof completed, Tang Jian became curious and turned around to take a look.
The whole big house is very high, as tall as two or three people. What is strange is that there is not a single pillar in the house that can accommodate hundreds of people. It relies on the four walls to support the big roof!
"Why did Xiao Hou build such a strange house? It's so empty, it doesn't look like it's inhabited by people!"
Tang Jian, who was standing at the door, looked inside and asked Xiao Han curiously.
Xiao Han was not in a hurry to answer. He bypassed Tang Jian and walked into the house. The house had just been completed and the doors and windows had not been installed. There was still a unique smell of cement in the empty house, which was a bit offensive.
"A...a sneeze..." He sneezed loudly, and the echo echoed back and forth in the empty house. Xiao Han rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and then said to Tang Jian who followed him: "Just kidding, my nose is a little bit...
It's not very comfortable, but Old Tang, you really have good eyesight. This is a classroom. I didn't want to repair it first, but the people below heard about it and unanimously requested that it be repaired first. After a few days, it was completely repaired. I
I just plan to let the children here stop playing crazy all day long and come here to learn literacy and arithmetic from my husband. I am also happy to be successful. If you are not of this material, you can at least understand some things. Besides, if you can read and write, where will you go when you grow up?
It can also stand out a little bit.”
