Li Yao did not take the negotiations with Feiling Sect to heart.

This is how commercial negotiations are. It is normal that the price cannot be negotiated.

However, Gao Guanyu's words reminded him.

The validity period of a utility patent is only three years.

Three years later, the structure of the monster detector will no longer be protected by patent laws, and anyone can refine similar magic weapons.

If you want to commercialize it, the faster the better.

However, it is one thing to use a few days to carefully craft and polish a monster detector by hand, and it is another thing to refine it in large quantities on the assembly line.

Not to mention that he did not have a large number of necessary Xuanguang Micro-Engraving Machines and other equipment to refine, just after it is refined, it will be advertising marketing, channel distribution, after-sales service, and capital operation...

These problems are not something he can solve.

After thinking about it, Li Yao had no idea, so he could only ask Yu Yuanmanqiu for advice.

Yuan Manqiu has been in the circle of weapon refiners for decades and is a veritable elder sister. She has applied for hundreds of patents herself. She has long been familiar with how to commercialize patents, and her first sentence is amazing.

"First of all, you can set up a sect yourself."

"Don't look at me in a daze. What's so great about starting a sect? Now, in order to inspire young people's creativity, young cultivators are very encouraged to start their own businesses."

"It is even more a trend for college students to start a school."

"For example, many senior students in our school, three or five, have established their own sects, and the school is very supportive."

"Also, you not only have the status of a college student, but also a federally disabled soldier. If you start a school, you will have great discounts in terms of taxes and bank loans, etc."

"After you start a sect, you can produce monster detectors on a large scale. Of course, you need a large amount of investment in the early stage. You can borrow from the bank, or go to some youth entrepreneurship parks to find someone to invest."

"Now many sects like to discover potential small sects in youth entrepreneurship parks and give them investment."

"I think the project of Monster Detector has great potential. With this as the core, it will build a very distinctive small sect and will definitely be very popular in the youth entrepreneurship park."

"If you have good luck, there will even be a big sect that will directly acquire your small sect."

"In this way, you can not only get high returns on money, but you can even directly become an elder and a figure at the level of the hall master in this sect. It can be said that you can reach the sky in one step!"

Yuan Manqiu's suggestion made Li Yao feel excited.

Establish a sect of your own?

It sounds quite charming.

However, after careful consideration, he gave up this plan.

It is not easy to start a school. Whether it is applying for a loan from a bank or looking for investors in a youth entrepreneurship park, there are very cumbersome business tasks to be handled.

This is a field that management cultivators are good at.

Li Yao is not a management cultivator. He only likes two things. The first is to travel in the mysterious and complex world of magic weapons; the second is to kill all directions on the hot battlefield.

These two things have consumed all his time and enthusiasm.

In the next stage, he will focus most of his energy on the registration weapon refiner exam.

Even if he passes the exam, he will regard the Xuanbone Plan as the focus of his work.

I really don’t have the extra energy to run a sect.

Seeing that he denied the first proposal, Yuan Manqiu was not surprised and continued:

"If you don't want to create a sect yourself to produce monster detectors, you can only cooperate with other sects."

"But cooperation depends on what sect the other party is."

"Although a sect like Feiling Sect has rich experience in refining weapons and a complete marketing network, it is too large to treat you as an equal partner. They are often only willing to do a one-time deal and buy your patents directly."

"If you want to keep your patents, you can only choose second- and third-rate small denominations to cooperate. These denominations are not strong in technology and do not have subsequent R&D capabilities, so you don't need your patents. You just need to authorize them to produce exclusively."

"Of course, the price will definitely be lower, and the marketing network of the small sect may not be as perfect as Feiling Sect. The magic weapons refined in large quantities on the assembly line are also very problematic."

"Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a small sect that is well-known to cooperate with."

"Li Yao, what do you think of Shanhai School?"

Yuan Manqiu obviously had more than once. Since Li Yao asked, she brought up the best solution she could think of.

"Shan Haipai?"

Li Yao thought quickly.

He still has a good impression of Shanhai Sect.

Not only is Jiang Wenbo, the logistics manager of Shanhai School, a visiting professor in the weapon refining department, he is also one of his teachers.

Moreover, Guan Xiong, a cultivator in the foundation-building stage of Shanhai Sect, is not only his life-saving benefactor, but also his witness to his becoming a cultivator.

Over the past year, he and Jiang Wenbo and Guan Xiong have met several times. The relationship between the two sides is good. The Shanhai Sect is also the sponsor of the weapon refining department of the Great Wilderness War Court. Now that the students of the weapon refining department have achieved results, it is natural to cooperate with the Shanhai Sect.

"I heard that Shanhaipai's business conditions have been poor in the past two years?" Li Yao was a little worried and asked.

"Yes."

Yuan Manqiu did not hide it and said openly, "For more than a hundred years, the Shanhai Sect has been a second- and third-rate sect with weak strength. He has never even had a powerful sect. In recent years, he has been even more unlucky. First, the former leader, Jiedan, failed and was seriously injured, causing the stock price to plummet, and the sect suffered heavy damage; then another master Guan Xiong, who was eroded by demon energy in the beast tide, fell from the high level of the foundation-building stage to the middle level."

"With these two high-end combat powers, some high-profit businesses such as killing high-level monsters, going to wilderness to prospect, becoming federal military contractors, are unable to be launched, so it has caused business difficulties."

"However, the Shanhai Sect has developed in the Great Wilderness for more than 100 years, with a deep foundation and a marketing network that covers various cities in the Great Wilderness. It also has a certain reputation and sectarian reputation."

"The main market for monster detectors is in the Great Wilderness. Even if inland cultivators want to go deep into the wasteland to hunt monsters, they will first go to the forward base in the Great Wilderness to rest and recuperate. With the advertising and distribution capabilities of Shanhai Sect, they can fully cover these important nodes."

"The other key issue is productivity."

"The Shanhai Sect was not a sect that mainly refines weapons, but in order to transform, they spent a lot of money to introduce a production line of Xuanguang Micro-Engraving Machines and Micro Components."

"This set of equipment is very advanced and can be used to refine Lingzi watches. Although the structure of the monster detector is unique, in terms of precision, there is still a certain gap between it and Lingzi watches."

"In other words, the Shanhai Sect is fully capable of producing monster detectors in large quantities."

"On the other hand, Shanhai School is not very technically strong. The newly established R&D center is still the same group of old people. The director of the R&D center is Lao Jiang. He is a grassroots weapon refiner and is not good at refining precision magic weapons. In terms of technology, it still depends on your support."

"In this way, you use technology, Shanhai sends people, money, production equipment and marketing networks. The two sides have strong complementarity and the foundation of cooperation is also very solid."

After the teacher's analysis, Li Yao nodded repeatedly.

With the current situation, Shanhaipai is indeed the best partner.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yao asked again:

"But, is Shanhaipai willing to cooperate with me? Otherwise, I will talk to Teacher Jiang first?"

Yuan Manqiu smiled slightly:

"What are you talking about? If you take the initiative to talk to him, then you will be passive. Of course, you will wait until he comes to the door!"

"I have sent you a video of your battle in the Thunder Cup match and some of your fighting in the wasteland to Lao Jiang, and also told him the news that you obtained a patent."

"By his eyes, we should be able to see the value of this patent."

"And with the current situation of Shanhai Sect, this is simply a magic weapon tailored for them."

"You should think about it carefully. What conditions should be given to Shanhai Patrol!"

What Yuan Manqiu said is true.

Before the next day, that night, after watching the detailed introduction of Li Yao's battle video and the monster detector, Jiang Wenbo, who was extremely excited, sent a letter from Linghe.

The magic weapon of the monster detector is really too fond of Shanhai Sect!

At present, the Shanhai Sect is in a very embarrassing situation.

Using bank loans and using a large amount of money to introduce assembly lines, the refined Lingzi watches have become unsold goods and are piled up in the warehouse. If you refine one, you will lose one.

But if it is not refined, the assembly line is idle there. Just the interest generated by bank loans every month is astronomical.

I have been interested in transferring the entire set of equipment. First, it is difficult for buyers to find, and second, the transfer price is too low. After a while, the losses on the books are simply shocking.

What's more, after all the equipment is transferred, what will happen to Shanhaipai's future?

The appearance of the monster detector made the Shanhai Sect’s eyes lit up.

The combat-type cultivator led by Guan Xiong often hunts monsters in the wilderness and is very confident about the market prospects of monster detectors.

More importantly, the assembly line originally introduced to refine Lingzi watches can be used to produce monster detectors in large quantities after a slight transformation, and there is no technical difficulty.

Instead of being crushed by traditional wealthy families such as Feiling Sect in the highly competitive mature market of Lingzi Watch, it is better to try to open up new markets!

Even if the sales volume is not high, as long as you can repay the monthly bank loan interest, it is better than being idle in the assembly line!
