Chapter 311 Win the Game, Lose the Future

The reaction of Purandal's chambers of commerce was similar to Tang En's prediction. Although they knew he might have ulterior motives, driven by the huge benefits they could see, many chambers of commerce immediately went to inquire about patent licensing.

What follows is naturally a development that Tang En is happy to see.

The industrialization of production originally took a very long time to develop, but with Tang En's imagination and the power of magic, Purandar was able to achieve high-precision processing accuracy in a leapfrog manner despite the lack of basic industry and technology. After the first generation of various processing machine tools are hand-made, technical standards with higher precision can be slowly developed in the future.

It is precisely because of Tang En's help that Purandal can achieve an exponential development speed. If coupled with the power of these chambers of commerce, he can help the entire world complete the industrial revolution—or the magic industrial revolution—in a very short period of time. .

“Getting everyone to join the standards you set and expand the entire industry is what you want to achieve?”

Fiona pinched her eyebrows and shook her head secretly. She still didn't quite understand why Tang En was so active in supporting other chambers of commerce to enter this industry.

"That's right," Tang En shook the tea cup, and his eyes seemed to have lost focus, "Fiona, we must admit that there are many things that one person cannot do. There is strength in numbers. This sentence will never be wrong. , a prosperous and healthy developing world is what I want to see, not a lifeless and decaying world."

Elsa next to her was confused. Why did the lord say that this world is lifeless?

Of course, the aborigines living in this world would not understand how weird their world was. Only Tang En, as a bystander, could clearly observe this weirdness.

Ilia puffed up her cheeks, wanting to be angry to highlight her presence, but in the end she could only lower her head in frustration, because when Tang En and Fiona were talking about serious business, they had no time to tease her.

Fiona touched her head, tilted her head and asked, "But what good will this do to us? It will only increase our competitors."

Tang En smiled, put down the water glass, and said slowly: "Fiona, I have to tell you a truth, and you must understand this truth."

"Speaking."

"In business activities, fourth-rate companies... er, chambers of commerce, sell coolies, third-rate chambers of commerce sell products, second-rate chambers of commerce sell brands, and first-rate chambers of commerce sell standards." After Tang En said these words with a smile, he closed his eyes. He opened his mouth and looked at Fiona quietly, asking her to understand first.

After Fiona frowned and thought for a moment, she suddenly realized: "According to you, many chambers of commerce in Illus are still only third-rate or fourth-rate chambers of commerce, and there are no second-rate chambers of commerce?"

"Of course."

As soon as Fiona showed a suspicious expression, she saw Tang En pointing at her: "We are the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce."

Fiona recalled the various measures that Tang En had arranged before. Whether it was the logo on the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce or the lines of the Datang Chamber of Commerce deliberately added in the promotion, these things were all designed to build the brand. Services.

Although the Datang Chamber of Commerce has not yet become a so-called famous brand, it already has the meaning it represents - novel and rare gadgets.

That's right, when the residents of Yalinks, Bein, and even Kasparmi and other places talk about the Tang Chamber of Commerce, their first impression is that there will be some unexpected novelty gadgets sold there, and they are also very useful. .

Although some items from the Datang Chamber of Commerce are indeed very expensive, no one can deny that those items are really useful.

For example, the very convenient magic hot water kettle has completely changed people's habit of drinking hot water. They no longer have to deliberately light a fire to boil water. There is also a magic hair dryer, which can dry your hair immediately after taking a shower...

What most commoners envied was the combination of the tap water system and water heater mentioned in Ellington's article published in Datang Daily.

With tap water and water heaters, you can enjoy clean water without leaving your home. Hot water is always available when you want it, and you can take a shower at any time. It’s incredible!

But envy is useless, because the running water system is only available in Ellington. It is said that the dwarf engineers helped to transform it. In other cities, let alone the dwarf engineers, there are not even a few ordinary dwarfs. Who is so big? Can you use your face to invite them to take action?

So far, only Tang En!

"In fact, we are not yet a second-rate chamber of commerce in the strict sense because our brand has not yet been completely formed."

Tang En waved his hand and explained: "A real brand is a new product launched. No matter what it is, customers will rush to buy it. The reason is just because the brand is powerful enough and admired enough to make people want to own the brand." Proud of our products..."

Fiona and the others were stunned when they heard this. Is there really any chamber of commerce in this world that can do this?

"It's incredible... If this is a second-rate chamber of commerce, how terrifying would a first-rate chamber of commerce be..."

Fiona looked yearning: "Even in the Golden Rose family's heyday, it was just between the second-rate and third-rate chambers of commerce."

"No, quite the opposite."

Tang En shook his head: "First-class chambers of commerce are more low-key. They rarely sell anything to the public, and rarely publicize their existence. But no one can ignore their importance, because they set the standards of the industry, that is, the standards of the industry." The rules of the game for the industry.”

Fiona's hand holding the cup suddenly squeezed hard, and she said excitedly: "Having set the rules of the game means becoming the controller, the emperor of the industry - is this what you mean?"

"That's right."

Tang En nodded with a smile: "This metaphor is very appropriate. Once you become the maker of the rules of the game, then all participants who want to enter this industry to make gold and make money need your recognition and authorization. The huge market and Profits will make everyone crazy, and these people and chambers of commerce who want to dig for gold are the first-class chambers of commerce to make money from."

"That's why you want to implement this intellectual property protection law? And authorize others to use your patent?"

Grandia curled her lips: "It sounds great, but in the end it was for myself."

The smile on Tang En's face paused slightly, and then became even brighter: "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you..."

After finishing speaking, Tang En turned to Fiona and said, "I think we may not have enough food for the winter. How about we open up another 180 hectares of farmland?"

Grandia immediately became anxious: "What do you mean! I clearly said it was enough!"

"It's obviously not me."

Tang En said confidently: "Besides, don't you know how many people are pouring into Ellington every day? How many businessmen heard that this wheat was grown by elves, and went crazy to hoard it? Because their With crazy purchasing, we are almost turning from grain importers to grain exporters!"

"It's just food, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

"It's not food, it's food grown by 'elves'!"

Tang En specially added an accent to the word "elf". For today's humans, anything related to elves means romance and beauty, and is particularly noble. In addition, those grains are indeed Grandi Subspecies, a special label report was made for storage. With this report signed by Grandia, even if the grain was grown by a mud-legged farmer, those black-hearted businessmen would still say it. It was planted by a beautiful elf like a flower.

"Hmph! You just want to bully me anyway!"

Grandia snorted coldly: "I saw Lord Aegwen and Her Majesty the Queen, and I will definitely report to them!"

"Whatever you want...oh, we have guests arriving."

Tang En spread his hands, then looked at the window with a smile: "Next time you come in, remember to take the main entrance, otherwise I will lay a few traps here on a whim one day, and you will return to the arms of Griterrence."

There was a sudden flash of silver light in front of the window, and Ye Ge, who had disappeared for several days, appeared out of thin air.

Looking at Ye Ge at this moment, Tang En felt very strange. He knew clearly that she was Princess Alleria, but this mysterious dress made her full of a different kind of charm.

The black close-fitting leather jacket and shorts fit perfectly on her body without any extra material. The leather tanned with special methods can reduce friction and impact, which protects her body very well. The bottom of the leather boots is soft. The tough and wear-resistant animal hair can absorb a lot of sound, allowing her to approach the target silently.

This piece of equipment, common to thieves and assassins, is worth at least 10,000 gold coins.

Of course, these are nothing compared to the strange dagger on her body. If the dagger that can teleport thirty meters away instantly meets someone who needs it, it is not an exaggeration to sell it for how much.

"you lose."

Ye Ge had no intention of being polite to Tang En. What she was throwing up and down in her hand was the badge of the Tang En Chamber of Commerce that she had stolen from Tang En's arms a few days ago.

"That's...impossible!"

Tang En was "surprised" and touched his pocket with a look of disbelief on his face. Then he looked at Ye Ge with a "shocked look" on his face: "I have been wary of you. When did you do it!?"

Seeing Tang En's appearance, Ye Ge, who had been depressed for a long time, finally felt an inexplicable pleasure. He sneered and said, "You can guess for yourself, I will never tell you."

After Ye Ge finished speaking, he threw the badge to Tang En, and then raised his face high, like a proud little swan: "You said so harshly, but in the end it was nothing more than this! I win now, so in the future you You can’t reveal my secrets, you can’t interfere with my actions, and you can’t affect my work. If necessary, you have to cooperate with me!”

Tang En smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was filled with anger: "There is no way I can cooperate with a thief!"

"oh?"

Ye Ge stared at Tang En's face, his eyes full of ridicule: "Is it possible that the dignified President of the Tang En Chamber of Commerce, the lord of Ellington, His Excellency Earl Tang En, is actually a guy who doesn't keep his word?"

This idiot...

The news of my promotion to earl has not been made public yet...

Tang En sighed secretly, and after acting for a moment with an annoyed look, he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Okay! I'm the one who's wrong this time!"

Ye Ge showed a victorious smile and extended his right hand to Tang En.
