Chapter 55 Do You Know Patents?
The reason why Steele said that Xu Yi's proposal was a good idea is of course because there are countless people on the entire Siones continent who are now on the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. If this series of documentaries is launched, it will inevitably attract the attention of these people.¥f
Everyone wants to know what kind of magic does this unknown small chamber of commerce in the negligible country of the Principal of Stantin have that enable the Kingdom of Rulson to repel two invasions of the powerful Kandera Empire after gaining their support.
The most concerned thing about this is of course the Candela Empire, which has suffered two consecutive defeats.
Seeing that the new year is less than a week left, most people on the entire continent are preparing for the New Year. A mission from the Candela Empire passed through the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Milando and entered the city of Anweimar, the king of Lambari.
Through the recommendation of the Ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, the delegation successfully met Queen Sevini in the palace.
The mission's ostensible mission is to represent the noble emperor of the Kandera Empire to express New Year greetings to Queen Sevini, and at the same time bring a series of cooperation agreements proposed by the Kandera Empire against the Kingdom of Lampari.
On the surface, it is not uncommon for such a mission to send one out every year in the Kandra Empire.
Because there have always been formal contacts between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kandra Empire, the two sides have close contacts. In addition to maintaining normal contact between the two sides, the specific purpose is to provide some trade exchanges between the two countries.
In the past, every year, the missions sent by the Kandera Empire would bring some chambers of commerce in the Kandera Empire to reach some trade agreements with the Chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom. This is also a means to strengthen the ties between the two sides.
But before that, because the strength of the Kander Empire was too strong than that of the Lampari Kingdom, the dispatch of missions was only in form, just to express an attitude. In fact, there were not many real interactions between the two sides. Every time they followed the mission to the Lampari Kingdom, they were just small chambers of commerce that were not well-known in the Kander Empire.
This year is completely different.
This time, the missions sent by the Kandra Empire were not only much larger than usual, but also much higher in specifications.
In the past, the head of the mission was usually just an official sent by the Candela Empire, and he came over to reach some unpainable trade agreements with the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, this time the mission was led by Marquis Descartes, the Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire. Following the mission were several famous chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire, and even representatives of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland, which was unprecedented in scale.
Because the ambassador of the Kandra Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari had already notified it in advance before the mission came, so although Sevini was a little surprised, he was prepared to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the mission.
The banquet was a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, but after the banquet, the Marquis de Descartes, the commander of the Candela Empire, seemed to have sparks splashed in his solo talks with Sevini.
"Her Majesty the Queen. This is the goodwill expressed by the Empire to your country. Why are you unwilling to accept it?" Marquis Descartes asked in a deep voice.
Sewini narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to sneer.
The Marquis of Descartes was very polite when he first met with him, but when he talked about the specific matter, he immediately showed his unique condescending face from the Candela Empire, his tone was filled with commanding tone, as if he was saying it was natural and others must obey it.
Of course, if the suggestions he made were beneficial to the Kingdom of Lampari, Sevini would not bother to care about his tone. However, this guy proposed to Sevini on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of the Candela Empire, asking the Kingdom of Lampari to fully open up the magical and mechanical related technologies currently mastered by the Kingdom of Lampari to the Candela Empire. How could Sevini agree?
Although Marquis Descartes also stated that the Candela Empire would give corresponding compensation to the Kingdom of Lampari, such as establishing an alliance with the Kingdom of Lampari, and ensuring the leadership of the Kingdom of Lampari among the countries in the southwest corner of the Continent of Synes...
At the same time, he also assured Sevini a series of specific affordable measures.
For example, the Kandera Empire will expand trade channels to the Lampari Kingdom. Specifically, it is to allow more commodities in the Lampari Kingdom to enter the Kandera Empire and provide certain tariff reductions on most commodities, especially all magic machinery-related commodities.
For example, the Kandera Empire will fully open domestic commodity exports to the Lampari Kingdom. Among them, the Kandera Empire was relatively abundant in the past, and some commodities that were in urgent need of the Lampari Kingdom will also actively reduce prices and ensure priority supply to the Lampari Kingdom, etc.
If it were in the past, a small country like the Kingdom of Lampari, which is insignificant in the entire continent, could actually be valued by the Kandra Empire, one of the two empires on the continent, and would have given so much support and preferential policies, then he would definitely be very happy to accept it.
Especially in the past, the Kingdom of Lampari was suppressed by the Kingdom of Sak. If it could be publicly recognized by the Kandra Empire as an ally, it would be equivalent to obtaining the best amulet, ensuring that the Kingdom of Sak will never dare to be presumptuous again.
But for the current Kingdom of Lampari... not only are these conditions not attractive, but Sevini can easily judge that the purpose of the Candela Empire is to lie in the various magical and mechanical technologies currently owned by the Kingdom of Lampari.
How could Sevini agree to the agreement requirement that there is almost no benefit, but it is very likely to cause great damage to the magic industrial system that has already had a basic prototype in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, when Sevini said that he needed to consider it seriously, and in fact, he refused politely, the Marquis of Descartes showed an incredible look, just as if Sevini did not agree to these conditions, it was simply incomprehensible.
Sevini was silent for a moment and kept calm and replied: "Marquis descartes, I am grateful to the Candela Empire for showing such kindness to us. But with regard to your hope that we have made this point that we have transferred all the technology related to magical machinery to the Candela Empire. I'm sorry that it can't be done."
"Why?" Marquis Descartes asked with a frown. "Aren't these things the words of Her Majesty, your queen? Or are you unable to control these small chambers of commerce in your country?"
Marquis Descartes said this very impolitely. He was almost directly skeptical of Sevini's control in the Kingdom of Lampari.
"Marquis Descartes, as the Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, does the meaning of this sentence mean that the official of the Candela Empire can control all chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire?" Sevini snorted softly and said without hesitation: "If this is the case, then I really have to express deep sympathy for the major chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire."
Marquis Descartes was slightly stunned, knowing that what he said just now was indeed a bit rash, but he did not intend to retreat because of this. He stared at Sevini's eyes and continued to ask: "Her Majesty, I believe that if you want, these are not a problem."
"No, I just said that this is not something I can decide." Sewini waved his hand. "The core of the related technologies of the magic machinery you mentioned is in the hands of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. The chambers of commerce related to the magic machinery in our Lampari Kingdom are only authorized from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Strictly speaking, they do not have any power to transfer these technologies."
Marquis Descartes frowned: "Since they have mastered these technologies, what is not transferable? Can the New Air Chamber of Commerce do anything else to them?"
Sevini finally couldn't help but sneer: "Marquis descartes, have you heard of the word patent?"
"Patent?" Marquis Descartes thought for a moment and shook his head slowly. "What does this mean?"
Sevini roughly explained the role of the patents to him, and then added: "These patents have been certified by the Magician Union Headquarters, so they are protected by the Magician Union. If any chamber of commerce violates the patent, they will be punished by the Magician Union Headquarters."
When Marquis Descartes heard that these so-called "patents" were actually related to the Magicians' Union headquarters, he couldn't help but frown.
As one of the two empires of the Seines Continent, the only thing left behind is the Magician Union, which is a power that has influenced all the magicians on the entire Seines Continent.
Without any unavoidableness, the Kandra Empire will not challenge the authority of the Magician Union head-on, which is not a single benefit.
Seeing that Marquis Descartes seemed very embarrassed, Sevini smiled slightly and suggested: "Marquis Descartes, if the Candela Empire is really interested in the related technologies of magical machinery, why not directly consult the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"this……"
Marquis Descartes couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If possible, he wouldn't want to go directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss it.
However, from various information, it is precisely because of the military magic machinery provided by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to the Rulson Kingdom that the Kandera Empire was defeated. Therefore, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has now been directly sentenced to death in the minds of many people in the upper class of the Kandera Empire.
The Kandra Empire is discussing how to deal with this damn Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and how can we go to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss cooperation matters?
This time, he personally led an envoy to discuss cooperation with the Kingdom of Lampari on magical machinery, and even obtained many preferential conditions for the Kingdom of Lampari on the House of Representatives before departure, in order to gain an understanding of magical machinery through other channels.
Of course, it is best to obtain more information about military magic machinery to facilitate future operations of the empire.
But the Kingdom of Lampari did not cooperate at all, which made him very embarrassed.
However, it was not too unexpected to his expectations for the Lampari Kingdom, because this was reflected when the Candela Empire asked the Lampari Kingdom to stop transporting supplies to the Rulson Kingdom but was rejected.
Marquis Descartes looked at Queen Sevini with a smile on his face and sighed softly.
"It seems... I still have to adopt the No. 2 plan I made before..." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
