Chapter 313: The Dirty and Corrupt Last Dynasty
The reason why I say this is because Tang En found that there was not a single force involved in this incident......
The Count of Marat, a vassal nobleman of the Kadir family, should have been instructed by Frank to come and deliberately muddy the waters, hiding in the surrounding crowd to stir up the emotions of the masses, some of them were members of the Kadir family, and the other part, including those who were ambushed around, was instructed by a chamber of commerce in the business alliance.
Under Don's interrogation, he also got the name of that chamber of commerce.
Prani Chamber of Commerce.
"The Prani Chamber of Commerce, a chamber of commerce run by the family of Baron Bilbohm, is mainly engaged in ...... All kinds of high, medium and low-end carriages have almost monopolized the carriage market in Alinkes, and in addition, mints have been produced in imitation of us. ”
Hearing that the Chamber of Commerce was in charge of carriages, Don knew why Bilbohm was jealous of himself.
The bike he is launching now can be said to have directly grabbed his low-end market and part of the mid-range market.
With a bicycle, who goes out and rides in a carriage?
For some people from modest families, the carriage is not something that everyone can afford, and the cost of raising a horse is not cheaper than that of one more person.
And the bike that is completely unconsumed is different, and it is okay to put it there, it is a big deal to inflate it.
The advantages of competing with horse-drawn carriages in the low-end market are very obvious.
Fiona handed Don a stack of materials, "This is the most detailed information that can be collected in a short period of time, and thanks to Hilton's usual activities in Alinks." ”
Hilton whispered, "This is what I should do, but the information is not detailed enough." If necessary, I can mobilize our intelligence network for secondary collection. ”
"We already have our own intelligence network in Alinkes?"
Don looked at Hilton in amazement, he had originally wanted to send the coolie named Van Cleef here to form an intelligence network.
"It can only be said to be a prototype ......"
Hilton smiled bitterly, "It was still formed under the guidance of the Night Song Girl. Bought some people who are struggling to survive in Alink, although loyalty is not guaranteed, but it also saves a lot of unnecessary expenses, but you ...... a few days ago"
Tang En touched his nose to hide his embarrassment: "She helped us so much, this kind of thing should have been said earlier." ”
If I had known that she had helped me so much, I wouldn't have done so much two days ago......
"I thought you knew...... I also mentioned the Night Song Girl in my periodic report before. ”
Facing Donn's inquiring gaze, Fiona shrugged, "I told you about it in the previous information. Maybe you didn't pay attention? ”
Well, although she cheated herself for 500,000 gold coins, she silently helped herself form the prototype of an intelligence network. also helped himself find out a lot of useful information, and they don't owe each other anymore, but now he almost offends her......
Especially, now that I know that Nightsong is actually Princess Arelia. Don felt like it was a miracle that she didn't turn her face to face......
It looks like Van Cleef has to help.
"I see. The matter of the intelligence network will be talked about later, and we will know who is in the eye. ”
Tang En shook the paper in his hand and said casually: "Some young people are just young, don't be afraid." ”
In Donn's view, Baron Bilbohm's Plani Chamber of Commerce is just a mantis arm that is beyond his means, and the person who will resort to such means will not understand that the tide of the times is unstoppable.
In the current situation, the only way to cooperate is with the Datang Chamber of Commerce. is his only hope for survival, but unfortunately he killed his last hope with his own hands.
It's just a bicycle now. Later, the advent of magic bicycles, and even magic cars, will completely destroy the market for horse-drawn carriages, and Baron Bilbohm's Plani Chamber of Commerce will also become a laughing stock.
"You mean, we don't fight back?"
Fiona frowned slightly: "Will this be underestimated by others?" ”
Fiona knows very well that due to the rise of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, coupled with Tang En's special identity, they are now being watched by many parties all the time, and this time they were almost plotted by others, if they don't fight back, they will definitely be underestimated, and maybe they will cause more trouble.
Tang En took a sip of tea with a smile and said leisurely: "Of course 'we' don't fight back. ”
Fiona, who had a close relationship with Done, hadn't come back to her senses, but Grantia immediately understood what Don meant: "You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”
Don raised his eyebrows, of course Brandal didn't have the idiom of killing people with a knife, but Grandia said a very similar word, so Don was surprised: "You're quite literate...... But don't say it so ugly, it's just a reasonable counterattack. ”
Fiona also came back to her senses, and her face was stunned: "What do you mean...... With their power? ”
The "they" in Fiona's mouth are naturally Adrien, and even His Majesty Victor, Don tied them to his chariot with common interests, and now they are all business partners, and they can't get along with Donn, that is, they can't get along with their money, Don is attacked, how can they sit idly by?
Tang En sighed, shook his head and said: "This is the power of collusion between officials and businessmen, tsk, this dirty and corrupt last dynasty, but I like it." ”
Their conversation had long since left Elsa and Elija confused, and how could the innocent sisters understand what these dirty and dirty behind-the-scenes deals meant? The only thing they understood was that the lord (big brother) was going to find someone to fight back.
So they were simply happy.
In the afternoon, Donn went to the royal castle alone and met Victor.
As soon as they met, Victor said with a smile: "The provisional version of the Intellectual Property Protection Law has been implemented for the first time, and now I am waiting for you to take the lead." ”
Tang En pulled over the chair and sat down, and said casually: "This is easy to say, after the glorious festival is over, I will immediately send someone to submit the application, as the first batch of chambers of commerce to apply, you can give certain preferential policy support as appropriate, and at the same time publicize it, and vigorously promote the relevant supporting services." ”
"I see."
Because there were only two of them in the study, they were more relaxed with each other, chatting while drinking tea, and soon further improved the intellectual property protection law, and at the same time, by the way, the operation mode of the hot pot chain was finalized.
As soon as the poor emperor Victor talked about making money, he was very energetic, and no one usually let him put down his body to chat, so when he talked to Tang En, he talked endlessly like a chatterbox, but thanks to this, their discussion progressed quickly.
Relying on various channels under the names of Aubury, Adrien, Victor and Donn, the hot pot chain spread throughout the territory of the Illus Empire as quickly as possible, and at the same time applied for a registered patent, so that Victor had an excuse to use his power to fight the imitators and protect his own interests to the greatest extent.
At the same time, it is more important to promote the benefits of registering patents to the general public, so that more people understand that obtaining patents means a lot of wealth, and the Empire's attitude towards the protection of the intangible wealth of residents' intellectual property.
After negotiating this matter, Tang Encai said: "Actually, there is another thing to come here today. ”
"Tell me."
Hearing that Don had something to say, Victor perked up and listened attentively.
"In today's final event, Count Marat was instructed by the Kadir family to cause trouble with me and try to create chaos."
Victor immediately became serious: "The family of Count Marat is a vassal of the Kadir family. ”
Don knocked on the table and said, "But then I found out that there was a group of people who were trying to cause chaos...... It was the Prani Chamber of Commerce of Baron Bilbohm. ”
"Prani Chamber of Commerce? I remember that they produced high-quality carriages, and the royal carriages were always custom-made and maintained from the Prani Chamber of Commerce. ”
"That's right."
"Why are they...... I understand! ”
Victor suddenly realized: "Bike! ”
The impact of bicycles on the low-end carriage market is obvious, and this segment is also the most profitable, so it's no wonder Baron Bilbohm can't sit still.
Don nodded and said casually, "Warn them...... Well, let the tax officer find an excuse to review the account books, seal them for ten days and a half, and by the way, find an excuse to fine some gold coins. ”
"Ah......h
Victor was a little embarrassed: "That's ...... I'm afraid it's not right......"
Looking at him like this, Don once again deeply understood how aggrieved he was as a king......
"What's wrong?"
"If they forcefully refuse to censorship, we won't be able to enforce the ...... unless we completely turn the other cheek."
"Why are you so stupid! Let you send a tax officer to review just to show an attitude! Let them know that we already know they did it! ”
Tang En really didn't know what to say: "As for whether the tax officer can carry out the order, it depends on whether the other party wants to turn against us immediately now, and from their reactions, we can also deduce their current attitude." ”
"This ...... Well, then give it a try, to be honest, the situation is not very rosy. ”
Victor shook his head, looked at the closed door of the study, and said in a low voice: "There have been some changes in the past few days, and the situation has been quite serious, I think...... It may not be long before the stalemate lasts. ”
Victor's attitude made Don serious as well: "What do you say? ”
"In previous years, during the glorious festival, the lords above the marquis level from all over the country would come to the palace to meet me and personally report the situation of the previous year, and at the same time, the financial officer would also report the tax situation and pay the lord's taxes, but this year ......"
Victor paused for a moment, and his eyes became a little gloomy: "Neither the Grand Duke of Matani nor the Grand Duke of Abaron came. (To be continued.) )
