Just last week, the Great Magician Ferguson once again came to the Principality of Standing on behalf of the Magicians Union Headquarters to meet with Xu Yi.
This time, the great magician Ferguson brought the final decision from the magicians union headquarters.
According to the discussion and decision of the Magician Union Headquarters Council, it expressed its approval and support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s proposal to open a Magic Industrial Academy to train low-level magicians to master the theoretical basis of magic bow-related knowledge.
The Magician Union Headquarters stated that it will officially recognize the existence of the magic industry to all magicians on the entire continent in the name of the Sainz Continent Magician Union.
The official recognition by the Magicians Union Headquarters means that the magic industry currently represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been officially recognized by the Magicians Union, and will be clearly distinguished from other commercial industries on the mainland.
The magicians on the mainland are more or less despised by the businessmen, but due to their personal livelihood, they always have to force themselves to deal with the businessmen.
And now the Magician Union Headquarters has specifically mentioned the magic industry and given special recognition, which has given many magicians a reason to officially get involved in the magic industry.
For Xu Yi, this is enough.
The reason why it was so difficult for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to recruit magicians before was actually mostly due to such a face issue.
For senior magicians, joining a chamber of commerce is already considered as a step down from one's status, but just joining a chamber of commerce as an unknown researcher is even more difficult to accept.
The reason why Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is able to recruit so many magicians is that the treatment provided by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed good enough. The more reason is also because of the golden signboard of Camilla Magister.
And now the magic industry has been officially recognized by the Magicians Guild Headquarters. In addition, the Magicians Guild Headquarters also stated that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be listed as one of the cooperative chambers of commerce of the Magicians Guild Headquarters. Then joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will no longer have any psychological barriers for all magicians.
As for the Magic Industrial Academy opened by Xinfei Lie Your Union, it is even more good news for those low-level magicians.
Because according to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you don't even need to pay tuition to join this college. At the same time, you have a great chance of joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and getting a pretty good job after graduation.
For the vast majority of low-level magicians whose financial situation is not good enough to support the research of magic, even upgrading is a problem. This is undoubtedly a good thing like pie in the sky.
For the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the formal support from the Magician Union Headquarters will not only allow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to recruit a large number of magicians to work directly in the Chamber of Commerce, but also recruit a larger number of low-level magicians for the Xinfei Magic Industrial Academy as future employees. The talent reserve is extremely beneficial to the current and long-term development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So at the beginning, his conversation with the great magician Ferguson was extremely pleasant, and Xu Yi also seized the opportunity to propose another new proposal of his to the great magician Ferguson.
Xu Yi proposed that the headquarters of the Magician's Union can approve Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to sponsor the annual Magician's Union qualification assessment in the Lampali Kingdom. For this purpose, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can pay an annual payment to the Lampali Kingdom's Magician's Union. One hundred thousand gold coins as the naming fee.
Although the great magician Ferguson was very confused about the "naming" and "naming fee" proposed by Xu Yi, it was still very easy to understand under Xu Yi's explanation.
From Ferguson's personal perspective, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
Because the magician unions in various countries actually have no means of income. The funds to maintain operations almost entirely come from allocations from the Magician's Guild headquarters and special funds from the host country.
Because the Kingdom of Lampali has always been weak in the past, it doesn't have much money of its own. Therefore, special allocations for the Lampali Kingdom Magician's Guild are even rarer.
According to the memory of the great magician Ferguson, the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union used to express financial difficulties in its annual report to the Magicians Union Headquarters because the special meager amount they received from the Lampali Kingdom in a year was only a mere five cents. Just ten thousand gold coins.
Even if the annual allocation of 30,000 gold coins from the Magician's Guild Headquarters is included, the total annual activity funds of the Lampali Kingdom's Magician's Guild are only 80,000 gold coins.
With such a small amount of funds, it is difficult to maintain the basic operation of the entire Lampali Kingdom Magician Union headquarters, not to mention organizing various Magician Union activities, which is naturally even more stretched.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to support the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union with 100,000 gold coins every year, it will immediately significantly improve the financial situation of the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
But the great magician Ferguson didn't agree at all.
First of all, this matter is related to the Lampali Kingdom Magician's Union, and he does not have the power to decide it alone. Secondly, a chamber of commerce should so-called "name" the qualification level assessment held by a country's magician's union. This is really It's too novel, so of course a decision needs to be made after careful discussion.
Of course, the great magician Ferguson praised Xu Yi's proposal, saying that Xu Yi, as the president of a special chamber of commerce that is closely related to magicians, is really willing to consider the magicians. The headquarters of the magicians union put Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Being listed as an official cooperative chamber of commerce is indeed a very correct decision...
However, after Xu Yi made this proposal, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two changed instantly.
The reason lies in a request that the Grand Magician of Ferguson subsequently made on behalf of the Magician's Union Headquarters.
Last time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had reached an agreement with the Magicians Guild Headquarters. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer a magic machine-related technology to the Magicians Guild Headquarters every year. This is regarded as an exchange condition for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to receive support from the Magicians Guild Headquarters.
Originally, this was nothing. Xu Yi also knew that the Magicians Guild wanted to get a piece of the now very profitable magic industry, which was understandable.
But this time, the request made by the Great Magician Ferguson on behalf of the Magicians Union Headquarters surprised Xu Yi and made him very angry.
The Magicians Guild Headquarters stated. Because the various magic patents that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce applied to the Magicians Guild Headquarters have changed. So it needs to be re-examined.
In order to ensure the rigor and fairness of the review. Therefore, the Magician Union Headquarters requires the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to submit all complete information related to these patents.
When the great magician Ferguson made this request, his expression was understated and his tone was matter-of-fact, as if it was a matter of course.
However, Xu Yi was almost so angry that he cursed directly.
Don't you dare be a little more shameless!
Submit all complete information related to these patents
Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving away all the technologies involved in these patents
Ferguson's light words contained a very heavy weight.
The reason why Xu Yi had gone to great lengths to have the Lampali Magicians Union propose a magic patent to the Mainland Magicians Union Headquarters was because he really wanted to imitate the Patent Act on Earth to provide some protection for the patents of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But unexpectedly, the headquarters of the Magician's Guild is now being guarded and robbed!
If it weren't for Xu Yi's originally calm personality. In addition, after serving as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for so many years, he has already become calm at all times. I am afraid that he would not be able to help but angrily criticize the great magician Ferguson and the magician union headquarters it represents.
The great magician Ferguson, who noticed Xu Yi's emotions, just said a cold word.
"If the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce cannot provide complete information, then the patent is likely to fail to pass the review and filing at the union headquarters, and will be declared invalid immediately and will no longer be protected by the union headquarters. President Xu, please think clearly about the consequences."
Xu Yi resisted the urge to kick him, and told the great magician Ferguson that this would require internal research and discussion within the Chamber of Commerce before making a decision, and then ended the meeting and conversation between the two.
However, a week has passed since that meeting, and Xu Yi has not yet held an internal meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the matter.
Because in his opinion. There is no need to discuss this matter at all, and he will never agree to it.
But there are consequences for not agreeing. Ferguson has made it quite clear.
The Magicians Guild Headquarters will no longer provide protection for these patents, which means that anyone else can freely borrow and copy the various designs of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce without taking any responsibility.
Xu Yi is even certain that the person who wants to do this is the Magicians Guild Headquarters itself.
So Xu Yi now faces a very serious problem.
Losing the protection of the Magician Union Headquarters means that the various research on magic conducted by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Research Institute can be used by other magicians at will.
In fact, although magic plays a very important role in the various magic machines produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the magic designed is usually very low-end and rarely involves particularly advanced magic.
If a senior magician is allowed to focus on research, it is not impossible to completely decipher the secrets of the magic circles used in these magic machines.
In addition, the appearance and mechanical design of these magic machines are not particularly complicated, and it is not particularly difficult to imitate them. Therefore, Xu Yi is almost extremely sure that as long as the Magicians Guild Headquarters announces that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be registered at the Magicians Guild Headquarters, If all of the magic patents expire, there will definitely be copycat magic machines all over the place.
Although Xu Yi believes that industrial manufacturing is not something that can be solved by simple imitation, there are too many knockoffs. Xu Yi is worried that the magic machine finally built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represents a novel, exquisite, and capable person. The image of endless convenience was tarnished.
The most critical thing is that losing such an important restriction as patent protection will cause the industry to become chaotic.
The loss of order and rules will be extremely harmful to the development of the magic industry.
This is Xu Yi's worry because of the request from the Magicians Union Headquarters.
As for the solution... Xu Yi didn't have any, but the hidden dangers this solution might bring made him undecided.
However, I received this letter from Sevini today, and I thought that the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Lulson have truly entered into the creation of the magic industrial system according to their own plans. Then, if nothing unexpected happens, the Candela Empire and the Mara Empire The two major empires, the Luo Empire, will also begin to introduce magic industries. Xu Yi feels that he can no longer hesitate.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi stood up and went straight to Magister Camilla's private laboratory. (To be continued...)
