Chapter 324 (2/2)
”Baron bilbaum, 1.15 million...”
”1.5 million!”
”President Sidney, 1.5 million!”
Listening to the bidding sound from the meeting room below, Fiona's frown stretched out, her face showed a comfortable smile, and her eyes were bent into crescent moon.
Donne raised his eyebrows and joked, ”don't talk about me now?”
”Of course not.”
Fiona smilingly took out her book and began to estimate today's income. At the same time, she complained: ”we should have implemented this plan long ago if we knew how much patent licensing earned.”
”Do you think this is a profit?”
Donne burst out laughing. The time to really make a steady stream of money has not come yet. When they understand these technologies and begin to officially put into production, it is time for him to start counting money - of course, it is also time for him to spend a lot of money to catalyze the world.
Strictly speaking, now this is only a buyout transfer price of the patent, but Donne made a little trick. Under his suggestion, the duration of the patent is the same as that of the copyright owner.
In other words, as long as the copyright owner is alive, the patent will not expire, and the corresponding licensing fee will be paid for the use of the patent.
There is also a minimum protection period of ten years. If the copyright owner dies unexpectedly within ten years, his legal successor will automatically inherit the patent copyright
In short, Donne took great pains to maintain a healthy industry environment.
”Today, just applying for a patent cost more than 10000 gold coins. Of course, I have to calculate the income.”
Fiona gave him a blank look, and the pen in her hand kept flying. During the conversation, she recorded the main situation today, and more importantly, the price after the patent was authorized - the result will not be known until the following bidding is over.
”There is no need to calculate. Today, the combined price of these authorizations alone should exceed ten million gold coins.”
Donne smiled faintly and said with a light face: ”the patents of those magic furniture are what they care about most. The average price will not be too low, accounting for the majority. Together with those small patents, it will not be a problem to break them.”
”Ten million!”
Fiona's pupils constricted, her breathing suddenly became much shorter, her chest fluctuated, and the rest of Donne's eyes glanced at the black lace collar and drew back his eyes with a little regret.
”Ten million gold coins!”
Fiona grabbed Donne's arm and shouted in a short, urgent voice, ”aren't you excited at all?”
Although the running water of Datang chamber of Commerce in recent months has exceeded the mark of tens of millions of gold coins, and the net profit is also a lot, but... Money can't be spent!
Ellington's rapid construction speed is burning money!
Donne is completely using gold coins to boost the construction enthusiasm of those residents. The bonus is mentioned again and again, resulting in great expenses. On the account books of the Lord's house and Datang chamber of Commerce, the amount of gold coins in reserve has never exceeded 3 million, and sometimes it will fall below the warning red line of 100000.
Fiona was almost stunned by the surprise that fell from the sky.
Most importantly, in Fiona's eyes, this ten million gold coins is almost cost-free, equivalent to net profit!
She still can't understand that intangible intellectual property rights are also expensive.
”Look at you.”
Donne smiled and shook his head, but he was inexplicably lost.
Since he knew that there was a God in the world, the increase of wealth basically could not make him feel joy.
Even more wealth? In the eyes of those who exist at a higher level, the value of those gold coins is not much higher than that of soil - maybe it is not as important as soil. After all, plant life can grow on soil.
Donne has now begun to learn to really use wealth as a tool, not as a treasure to enrich the Treasury and satisfy his desire for wealth.
”With this ten million gold coins, the previously designed highway network expansion plan can be put on the agenda!”
Fiona's eyes were full of light and said in a lively spirit: ”not only that, several factories suspended before can also start construction. The money is too timely and important. I must make good planning and use it.”
”In addition, the armament factory you mentioned before and the military magic power machinery factory can also -”
”Shh...”
Donne suddenly pushed Fiona down on the wall, pressed the wall with one hand, and the whole person was bullied and pressed on it.
Fiona was stunned. Looking at Donne's face getting closer and closer, her heart suddenly jumped wildly.
Donne's fingers pressed on her pink lips, his lips around her face and whispered in her ear, ”don't mention these secrets outside... Don't forget that we Ellington adhere to pacifism.”
