We in Ellington are pacifists.

That's right, this is the unifying rhetoric that Don has been telling Fiona to publicize to the outside world.

Although plunder is the best way to accumulate primitive wealth, wealth does not play much role in Don, he is more concerned about the steady and high-speed development of this world, so it is the best choice to immerse himself in farming and lead the rapid development of the whole world with his own advanced vision.

So stability is paramount in the beginning.

We are pacifists, if you want to fight for hegemony or infighting, you can do it, just don't come to disturb our development.

This is the unifying rhetoric of propaganda to the outside world, and after Don took office, he did implement this policy.

With the exception of the extermination of nearby bandits, the recapture of the Brussels iron mines, and a counterattack against Kaspamy's troops, no further acts of war were waged.

Making Ellington a new economic center in the minds of others, rather than a new military fiefdom – that's what Donn wanted to achieve.

Do you want to tell him what he really thinks...... Hehe, have you ever heard of a trick falling from the sky...... Ahh Have you ever heard of a ploy called Hiding the Sea?

Of course, none of this mattered to Miss Fiona, because under Donne's sudden and violent "wall knock", she suddenly fell into a sea of happiness with a restless heart, and she didn't hear what Don said, just nodded stupidly.

If Don hadn't let go of her soon, it would have been estimated that this stupid girl would have closed her eyes and pouted again to ask for a kiss.

“…… Million! President Sidney bids two million gold coins! Who else is going to keep bidding? ”

The sudden exclamation brought both Donn and Fiona back to their senses.

"Two million!"

Fiona wiped the nectar liquid from the corner of her mouth, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "If it goes according to the current trend. Not to mention 10 million, it may even exceed 20 million in the end! ”

It is true that up to five patents can be granted. If it is all such sky-high licensing fees, the licensing fee of the magic energy air conditioner alone can exceed 10 million.

"If nothing else, President Sidney is really bold."

Although he was an enemy, Don had to admire Sidney's courage, which ordinary people did not necessarily have in the face of such a situation.

Don's emotion is also the emotion of others at this moment.

"President Sidney, can you earn it back for such a high price?"

"Huh. I don't have to worry about it, but all in all, I must get the first authorization. ”

Sidneypi gave them an ultimatum without smiling. They were both members of the Business Alliance, and they all knew how bold each other could be, and if Sidney was really determined to seize the first license, neither of them would be able to fight it.

In the end, the first authorization of the magic energy air conditioner fell into Sidney's hands for two million.

This relieved Sidney.

In Sidney's calculations. Plus the Datang Chamber of Commerce. There will be a total of six chambers of commerce to divide the market of magic energy air conditioning, not to mention other countries, just the Illus Empire, the future market of magic energy air conditioning is about 50 million gold coins, and the expected profit of each chamber of commerce should be about 10 million gold coins.

After all, the market of the Illus Empire is so big, and the market that other countries have not yet opened up is the real profit worth looking forward to.

After deducting the royalties and royalties, the expected profit is what is left to attract them to join it.

Therefore, two million gold coins were used in one go to buy the authorization of a technology patent. Even he would feel a lot of pain.

Although he has estimated the future market space of magic energy air conditioners, there are too many unknown conditions. The risk is too great, and if the licensing fee is high, he will probably hesitate.

Of course, he was so confident in the patent authorization of the magic energy air conditioner before, because he had a good personal relationship with some magicians in the Silver City, and in order to build a good relationship, he often funded and sponsored the French research of those magicians in his own name, so he had a way to hire some mage apprentices to work for him, so there was a way to solve the problem of the most critical magic part of Donn's technology.

Before today, he had always thought that he was the only one who had this kind of secret way, but looking at the situation they were fighting for patent licensing with him just now, it was obvious that they all had their own secrets.

Sidney didn't believe they had come and robbed them without even knowing what was needed in this patented technology, and no one who could sit here now was stupid.

Eventually, the remaining four authorizations were obtained by Baron Bilbohm, President Neander, President Ryan, and President Elric.

The other Sidneys weren't surprised, but this President Elric made him frown.

Because the Elric Chamber of Commerce did not join the business alliance, it is a merchant chamber of commerce, and what is even more strange is that their main business is very rare magical equipment, many adventurers with spare money in their hands will spare money to buy their magic equipment when they encounter the convoy of the Ellik Chamber of Commerce, not to mention, the magic equipment they sell is indeed very useful.

"Congratulations to President Elric, I didn't expect to see you here."

Sidneypi looked at President Elric with a non-smiling smile, especially his right arm and left leg, which were made entirely of metal components, and were very conspicuous.

President Elric nodded, "You're welcome, I just happened to be passing by, and I heard about something here, so I came over to join in the fun." ”

"I spent more than two million gold coins to buy the patent authorization of the magic energy air conditioner, Elric will be generous, but I'm very strange......"

Sidney asked aggressively, "Your Chamber of Commerce is a businessman, right?" There is no factory of its own, where will your chamber of commerce produce? ”

"I don't bother you, but I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I bought this is that I don't plan to produce and sell it for the time being, just because I'm very interested in the technology here."

Hearing President Elric say this, Sidney sighed in his heart, because it had been rumored a long time ago that the president of the Elric Chamber of Commerce was actually a wild mage who had mastered alchemy, and the metal puppet bodyguard who had been following him was also refined by him.

However, this rumor has not been confirmed, and over time it has become one of the rumors in the industry.

Don, who was standing on it, stared at President Elric for a moment, then at the huge metal golem beside him for a moment, and then asked Fiona with a bit of toothache, "Could that President Elric be named Edward?" ”

Fiona was stunned and shook her head: "I don't know, no one has ever known what his name is, only that his surname is Elric, and the name of the Chamber of Commerce is the same as his surname." ”

So Don looked at it again for a while......

O these gods...... Seems a little too good at playing, right?

The invasion of the Chaos army is imminent, and you are still in the mood to play chaotically? Can't you be serious......

The fierce bidding for the license continued, following the magic air conditioner, the magic energy refrigerator, the magic energy washing machine and other patent licenses were also sold one by one, and when everyone left, Fiona saw the detailed accounts, rolled her eyes, and fainted happily on the spot.

Rao is Tang En was already unfazed, completely numb to wealth, and was also very surprised after seeing that string of numbers, because the patent authorization finally really broke through 20 million gold coins, reaching an astonishing 23.55 million gold coins!

Among them, the patent authorization of magic energy furniture such as magic energy air conditioner, magic energy refrigerator, magic energy washing machine, magic energy hair dryer, magic energy kettle, magic energy water heater and other magic energy furniture contributed 18 million gold coins, and the total number of other miscellaneous technical authorizations is only 5.55 million gold coins.

It is worth mentioning that the patented technology related to the combine harvester, which has always been pinned on by Don and Fiona, is rarely ignored, which makes the relevant staff who are ready to go quite embarrassed.

Tang En then understood the reason, on the one hand, the price of this patented technology is indeed a little higher, reaching five million gold coins, although the market for combine harvesters is very large, and the price is also very high, as long as five hundred units are sold, the cost can be recovered, but ...... The cost of investment in the early stage is too high, and the risk has reached a level beyond the control of those people, so they can only choose to give up and choose a relatively broad magic furniture market instead.

It's a pity that it's too late to know, the pricing has already been announced, and if a precedent is set for a temporary change in pricing, those cunning businessmen will definitely notice it in the future, and then launch a collective boycott, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, this price cannot be changed, and even if it does, it can only rise, not fall.

It is a bicycle that has just been launched on the market, and the related patented technology was immediately snatched up, although the patented technology of the bicycle is not too profound, but the market is very large, so it is favored by many people.

Among them, of course, there is also Baron Bilbohm, who has sensed that the low-end carriage market is being hit by bicycles, and if he does not want to lose this market, he must take the initiative to join the bicycle market.

In addition, there are technical patents for those individual accessories, such as metal bearings, shock absorber springs and other design patents, which have caused fierce competition among many chambers of commerce.

Those small chambers of commerce whose competitiveness is not comparable to the big chambers of commerce have almost gambled all their strength on the patent authorization of these small accessories, and the results are quite gratifying.

"Looks like your plan has been initially successful."

After Fiona came to her senses, she first congratulated Donne, and then held the account book with a happy face: "Hehe...... Rich...... We finally have the money......"

"Look at your stupidity," Don En smiled dumbly, "don't worry, you'll be able to spend as much as you can when you get back...... But don't forget that you have to solve the follow-up problems first. (To be continued.) )

PS: Feel...... It's OK...... Rescue again......
