Chapter 112: Don't Work With Money
The great magician Ferguson was suffocated and his expression was slightly awkward.
This middle-aged magician is right. The so-called term "magic patent" and even the concept of the entire patent were all proposed by Xu Yi, the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce several years ago. It was applied to the Magicians Union through the Kingdom of Lampari to the Magicians Union headquarters, and finally approved under the approval of the Magicians Union headquarters.
Since this concept was completely proposed by Xu Yi, Xu Yi certainly has the most say in this kind of thing.
Now the union headquarters claims that neither Xu Yi nor the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has any relevant powers, so it is no wonder they are not convinced.
After a moment of silence, the great magician of Ferguson coughed lightly and said seriously: "This concept was indeed the first to propose by President Xu. But since this concept involves magic and magicians, it already belongs to the jurisdiction of our magician union. Moreover, after President Xu proposed this concept, his original purpose was to hope to provide any and protect the patent concept he proposed through the power of the magician union. I am right, President Xu?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly: "That's right. The reason why I hoped that the Magician Union would agree with the concept of patents was that I hoped that the Magician Union would protect the patents with the ability of the Magician Union, so that the research on magical machinery could have better development space."
"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 magician union had this power and took the initiative to hand over the qualification to exercise this power to our union headquarters, then now he has to form a magic machinery patent protection association on his own, why is it?"
"Your Excellency Ferguson, you seem to have made something wrong." Xu Yi smiled.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"I proposed the concept of patents to the Magician Union headquarters, and I really hope to protect the magic patent rights of us magicians through the power of the Magician Union. But you have ignored a problem. While we are obtaining the protection of the patents from the Magician Union headquarters, we all pay the price. I don't know anything else, just our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The patent protection fee paid to the Magician Union in the past year exceeded an astonishing 140,000 gold coins. This is not a small amount of money..."
The great wizard of Ferguson snorted coldly: "What? Isn't it natural to let the union protect your patents? "
"Of course. Of course, this is what I should do, and I never deny it." Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked without hesitation: "But, Ferguson, you must figure out one thing. We pay patent protection fees to the Magician Union, which is to believe that the Magician Union has the ability to protect our patent rights. So this is our proactive choice, not necessarily."
"What do you mean?" The Great Witch of Ferguson changed his face. "Does your New Flying Chamber of Commerce want to escape the patent protection of our Magician Union?"
"What I mean is that since we can choose to pay patent protection fees to the Magician Union for the protection of patents by the Magician Union, of course we can choose not to pay the money..."
"Then you will lose the protection of the magician union's patents for you!" The great magician Ferguson interrupted Xu Yi without hesitation.
"Yes, it's true. But that means we have the ability to choose actively, instead of having to pay patent protection fees to the Magician Union. Ferguson Great Magician, do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yi said.
"So you plan to prepare a Magic Machinery Patent Protection Federation yourself and collect this patent protection fee yourself. Do you protect these patents yourself?" The Great Wizard of Ferguson sneered. "President Xu, do you think... just by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is capable of doing this? I can tell you clearly. Except for our Magicians Union, no other organization on the Continent of Sainz can do this!"
"I admit that what you said is at least right now. But..." Xu Yi stared at the Great Witcher Ferguson with his eyes showing an extremely sharp look. "Since the headquarters of the Magicians Union can no longer protect our patents, of course we can only rely on ourselves to find a solution. Even if there are many difficulties in it, this is something that must be accomplished."
When Xu Yi's eyes stared at, the great magician Ferguson turned his head slightly and avoided Xu Yi's gaze.
"President Xu, I don't understand what you mean. Why do you say that our magician union cannot protect your patents?"
"Do you really don't understand?" Xu Yi smiled and nodded to the researchers sitting next to him.
The researchers all stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Just when the great magician Ferguson was puzzled, not long after, they walked in again with two elves and three dwarves. At the same time, they also brought in several home magic machines.
"President Xu, what are you doing?" The great magician Ferguson couldn't help asking.
Xu Yi did not answer. He just signaled to those people.
The middle-aged male researcher who asked the Great Magician of Ferguson before moved a magic fan in his hand to the table and pointed at it and said, "His Excellency of the Great Magician. Do you know this magic fan?"
The great magician Ferguson glanced at the magic fan for some reason and shook his head.
"This magic fan is not the new flying magic fan produced by our Chamber of Commerce, but was discovered from the Candela Empire." The middle-aged male researcher continued. "Simply put, it is another magic fan designed and produced by the Chamber of Commerce who we do not know the name yet."
"What? What's so strange about this? As far as I know, there are dozens of chambers of commerce that can produce magic fans in addition to your new flight chamber, right?" said the great magician of Ferguson.
"That's right. But in addition to our New Flight Chamber of Commerce, other chambers of commerce must obtain relevant patent authorization from our New Flight Chamber of Commerce if they want to produce magic fans, otherwise they will violate the patent protection regulations of the Magicians Union. You should be very clear about this, right?" asked the middle-aged male researcher.
"Well, that's it..." The great magician of Ferguson glanced at the magic fan again, and a trace of ominous feeling flashed through his heart.
The middle-aged male researcher pointed to the base part of the magic fan and continued: "All commercial taxes that have been authorized by our patents have notes. However, this magic fan does not have the brand logo of any chamber of commerce that has been authorized by patents. 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 wizard of 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.
"His Excellency Ferguson, you should surpass me in magical powers, but I am undoubtedly much better than you in my understanding of magical machinery."
The great magician Ferguson was furious. This sentence clearly meant that he, a layman, was not qualified to question him!
"Then you said for a long time, what does it mean?" said the great magician Ferguson angrily.
"Don't you understand?" The middle-aged male researcher looked surprised. "Our New Air Chamber of Commerce patent has been violated so obviously, and your magician union has not only not studied how to punish it to protect our chamber of commerce's patents, but even when our chamber of commerce is trying to use its own power to protect its own patents, you have to forcefully stop it! Lord Ferguson, can you tell me. Where have you used the patent protection fees that our chamber of commerce handed to the headquarters?"
The other party whispered "you" at once, which made the great magician Ferguson feel very upset.
This guy is obviously a level nine magician, but he has no sense of belonging to the Magician Union. When he was called the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he called "we". In the eyes of the Great Magician Ferguson, he really made him, one of the elders of the Magician Union, very dissatisfied with him.
But the question asked by the other party was real and he couldn't help but answer.
After pondering for a while, the great magician of Ferguson said seriously: "About this matter, as long as you report it to the union headquarters, the headquarters will of course conduct a thorough investigation and do your best to protect your patents. But this kind of thing cannot be solved in one day or two. It will take some time. In addition, this has nothing to do with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to establish the Magic Machinery Patent Protection Federation privately. You cannot deny the union's efforts to protect patents just because your patent has been violated."
"Try hard?" the middle-aged male researcher sneered. "His Excellency Ferguson, when our chamber of commerce discovered a similar situation for the first time and filed a patent protection application to the union headquarters, it has been more than half a year since now. And in this half year, the patent infringement we have discovered is far more than this."
Several other researchers, the two elves and three dwarves, put the home magic machinery in their hands on the table and began to introduce them.
Like the situation described by the middle-aged male researcher just now, these household magic machinery did not come from other unknown chambers of commerce that did not have the patent authorization of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, it infringed the patent rights of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce.
"We pay a lot of patent protection fees to the Magician Union every year, but we cannot get the corresponding protection from the union. So why should we trust the union? Why can't we find a way for ourselves?"
Faced with the questioning of the middle-aged male researcher, the great magician Ferguson was silent for a moment and turned to look at Xu Yi.
"President Xu, is that what you mean?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "From a business perspective, this is very simple. If you give money but don't work, why should I give it again?"
The great wizard of Ferguson looked at Xu Yi with a gloomy face: "So, you don't plan to accept the resolution of the union headquarters? Have you thought clearly about the consequences of doing so?"
Xu Yi looked at him: "The purpose of the Magician Union is to help the magicians on the Continent of Sainz and protect their interests. If this cannot be done, instead depriving the magicians of their rights, then there is no need for the Magician Union to exist at all."
The great magician Ferguson was stunned and then laughed in anger.
"Okay! OK! President Xu, don't regret doing this!"
After saying that, I left with my sleeves. (To be continued) i752
