Relying on patents to make money may not be a strange thing in later generations, but during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seemed a bit whimsical.
The reason why patents can become patents is because later generations have a complete legal system and powerful law enforcement agencies.
Of course, it is not just these direct reasons, but various indirect reasons that ultimately contributed to the formation of patents.
But Yi Xiaotian has never been a person who likes to play by the rules.
As he invented more and more, especially after noticing that after the Battle of Hanzhong, the technology of horseshoes was completely stolen by Zhuge Liang, Yi Xiaotian got inspiration from it.
During wartime, of course inventions are not subject to patent issues. How can the technology of killing people be shared among the military?
Of course, I kept it hidden for fear that the other party would learn it.
But among the people, especially in the business sector, the good business environment now provides Yi Xiaotian with the foundation to implement his patent plan.
However, even though Yi Xiaotian taught Cai Zhaoji and others how to make money from patents before they arrived, Yi Xiaotian could not guarantee that they would be able to use it by then.
After all, Yi Xiaotian was thousands of miles away from Yizhou at this time, and it was difficult to grasp the real situation at all times.
It is true that this is an alternative plan, but after arriving in Yizhou, Cai Zhaoji realized the feasibility of this alternative plan with the help of Qiu Cong and others.
Yes, the key lies in the fact that there was a man named Pang Xi in Langzhong.
——
Pang Xi pointed at himself and looked at the other party in disbelief.
But he didn't expect that the determination in the other person's eyes had already answered his doubts.
"Is it really me?"
"That is to say..."
"That's right, Mr. Pangda, so the so-called sharing of formulas and then taking a commission cannot be implemented. The reason is that we don't have anyone who can help uphold justice. Naturally, we can't consider the government you mentioned, but the government
Sometimes it’s really not always possible to have a big shot with financial power who can be reliable.”
"So everything we have done before is just to attract your attention, and as long as you agree to cooperate with us... we want to use your name, and the specific things such as auditing accounts, supervising the performance of the contract, and confidentiality, etc.
You don’t need to worry about other chores, we will send people to take care of them."
"And the identity of the agent we promised you represents this number."
Cai Zhaoji suddenly stretched out three fingers, but Pang Xi didn't have much fluctuation at first.
"Thirty percent?
You are indeed quite sincere... I have to say, I suddenly feel that your method is somewhat feasible."
"But can you guarantee that this perfume can earn you enough capital to establish a foothold here?"
"Haha, we don't intend to hide this from you. Regarding the pricing and cost of perfume, I will leave it to Zhen Ni to explain next."
Cai Zhaoji said and winked at Zhen Luo, who immediately became serious and took out a thick stack of documents from the package on the side... Pang Xi began to explain various sales cases about perfume - these
Most of the information was collected in the Yecheng area. The samples were not particularly large, but they were definitely enough for a person with keen intuition like Pang Xi to make a rough judgment.
——
Not long after, Pang Xi stopped Zhen Luo's explanation with shocked eyes.
"No need to continue..."
"Um?
Man Pangda, aren’t these enough?”
"No, you misunderstood. This is enough...or maybe the calmness and seriousness you have shown since just now have made it impossible for me to deceive myself anymore."
"Thirty percent is indeed a large number, but if combined with the profiteering precedent you just described..."
Pang Xi was actually a little numb. He really didn't expect that the cost of perfume and its sales price would be so different.
The key is that even so, the price of perfume is definitely within a reasonable range that is acceptable to ordinary people and nobles. This is due to the different grades of perfumes Zhen Luo just explained.
Sales precedent.
Yes, although the perfume product is still in its early stages, Yi Xiaotian has divided them into different grades in a relatively simple way. After all, how could a grassroots person like Yi Xiaotian not take care of the purchases of the general public?
What about experience?
In other words, Yi Xiaotian has always believed in a saying...that is, the wider the audience, the more money will be made - it sounds vulgar, but this is the truth.
Instead of making an expensive luxury product that only the royal family and dignitaries can buy, it is better to focus on the general public so that ordinary people can also enjoy high-quality and low-priced perfumes. Even when he makes this kind of perfume, he is not only
Aiming at women, they even launched corresponding perfume types for some men. Although Cai Zhaoji said that their ambitions were not big, in fact, the perfume alone was enough to show how discerning Yi Xiaotian was.
of breadth.
This was also the shock that Pang Xi felt after listening to Zhen Luo's description - after all, according to what the other party said, these plans and inventions came from the guy they called sir. Thinking about it this way, he had not done anything extraordinary before.
This behavior is actually a blessing.
In any case, Pang Xi was completely convinced by this point.
"I am willing to believe you, and I am willing to give you this opportunity. I just hope that you will not do anything extraordinary...otherwise, even I may not be able to protect you when the time comes."
"Haha, Panda is overly worried. In short, since you have agreed to cooperate with us, we will not hide the various arrangements in the future."
Cai Zhaoji nodded, and at the same time said hello to everyone present. The implication was obvious...
They succeeded and successfully took this solid step.
——
This meeting lasted for several hours, during which Pang Xi also showed a serious side that was completely different from his appearance.
Everyone was constantly discussing various details of cooperation in this meeting place. At the same time, Cai Zhaoji also quietly revealed the financial resources of Youjian Villa - the golden seal of the Jade Bird Chamber of Commerce. Maybe the businessmen who attended the tea party this morning had only heard of the Jade Bird Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, Pang Xi is the person in Langzhong who knows the Jade Bird Chamber of Commerce the best.
To put it simply, the merchants who have the gold-letter seal of the Blue Bird Chamber of Commerce are all wealthy enough to compete with those famous families in the north.
In other words, the humble businesswoman in front of him is actually much bigger than Pang Xi's family fortune.
Now he suddenly understood why the other party was so confident and able to get his support... because the situation just now was just a behemoth showing negligible kindness to an ant like him. If he refused, the consequences would be difficult for him.
Imagine.
But at the same time, this also made him a little confused.
Since this gentleman has such a terrifying wealth, why didn't he find out even a little bit about the other party's background?
