Chapter 108 Magic Patent Protection Fee

This year's assessment for the qualification certification of the Magician's Union of the Kingdom of Lampari is likely to be the largest assessment in history.

According to the statistics of the Magicians Union, the number of magicians who signed up for the assessment this year exceeded 8,000!

You know, the total number of magicians in the entire Kingdom of Lampari is only in the early ten thousand.

In other words, the number of magicians who came to participate in the assessment this time actually accounted for nearly 80% of the total number of magicians in the entire Lampari Kingdom!

Although the total number of magicians who participated in the assessment last year was already close to 5,000, there were preliminary signs of this, but the number of magicians who participated in the assessment this year suddenly exceeded 8,000, which immediately caused the Magician Union of the Kingdom of Lampari to go up and down. They are all very busy.

If President Allen hadn't made a plan in advance, I'm afraid that the serious qualification assessment this time will plunge the Magician's Union into chaos.

However, despite early preparations, the originally scheduled one-week assessment time was forced to be extended to half a month due to the substantial increase in the number of people participating in the assessment.

And even if the time has more than doubled, the process of participating in the assessment every day is still extremely tight, so that the staff of the Magician's Union must be at work all day long, with almost no rest time. However, no one has any complaints about this, because unlike previous years, during the qualification certification assessment this year, Chairman Alan announced that during the qualification certification assessment period, due to the increased workload, every staff member will be For special fund subsidies, the tentative standard is two gold coins per person per day.

For two gold coins a day, half a month. It means that you can get an additional subsidy of 30 gold coins.

This is a lot of money for all the staff of the Magician's Union. Naturally, their enthusiasm for work is particularly high. No matter how busy the work was during this period, no one complained. Instead, they worked extremely hard, making the qualification certification examination go very smoothly, with few mistakes or omissions.

"I said President Allen, even those ordinary staff have special subsidies, so shouldn't we, the great magicians, also give some subsidies?" Great magician Esenka asked Ai Senka who was sitting at the top. President Lun joked.

President Allen laughed: "Esenka, don't be joking. With your wealth, do you still need to ask me for a subsidy of dozens of gold coins? Besides, our Magician's Union finally managed to have Some of the surplus is used to improve the benefits of the staff under you. As a great magician, you should not argue with them about this, right? A lot of words." The three people sitting on the other side, including the great magician Camilla All the great magicians laughed.

Here is a meeting held by five great magicians for the qualification assessment of the Magicians Union, mainly discussing the content of the senior magician qualification assessment at the end of the qualification assessment.

When the great magician Esenka heard President Allen explain how to solve the pressure on the staff caused by the increased workload, he couldn't help but make a joke.

"Speaking of which, why does our Magician's Union still have some surplus money this year? Didn't we need to rely on special funds from the Federation of Trade Unions in previous years to make ends meet?" Great Magician Truchi asked curiously.

"Speaking of it, it's mainly because of Xu Yi's contribution." President Allen looked at the habitually silent Great Magician Camilla and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for the magic patent he proposed, how could our trade union have What about the rest of the money?"

"Oh? So there are many magicians who have applied for magic patents?" The great magician Torres also asked curiously.

"That's right." President Allen nodded. "According to last month's statistics. At present, the total number of magic patents registered and applied for by the trade union has reached more than 13,000, and the patent insurance cost involved exceeds 200,000 gold coins."…

"So many?" The great magician Truchi and the big magician Torres both looked surprised.

The great magician Eisenka frowned: "Isn't this a little too little? The total insurance cost of more than 13,000 patents is only more than 200,000 gold coins. On average, the protection of one patent Isn't the cost less than two gold coins?"

President Allen said with a chuckle: "Because some magicians apply for very low insurance fees for their patents, and the patent protection fees they pay don't even have a single gold coin."

"Then what are they applying for?" Grand Magician Truchi said in amazement: "Such a low insurance fee can't protect at all."

"You don't understand that." The great magician Torres laughed. "Trucci, it is very popular to apply for patent protection for the magic that I have researched. Even I have applied for more than a dozen. Of course, the patent protection fee I paid is not much. It's less than a hundred gold coins."

"Why?" Grand Magician Truchi was a little puzzled. "Why apply if it's not necessary?"

"To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of face." The great magician Torres said. "Think about it, the same two magicians, one of them has more than a dozen special magic patents, and the other has none. Do you think that the level of magicians without magic patents is relatively low?"

"This..." Grand Magician Truchi thought for a while, then nodded slightly. "It seems to be the same thing."

"So, now many magicians have begun to regard how many magic patents they can apply for as a very important symbol. Truchi, I advise you to apply for a little bit, otherwise we will all have more than a dozen patents. When you have one or dozens of magic patents, but you don't have any, doesn't it make you feel a little bit wrong?"

The great magician Truchi smiled wryly: "That's true, it seems that I have to think about it carefully." Then he turned to look at the great magicians Esenka and Camilla. "What about you? Even Torres has applied for more than a dozen magic patents, the two of you only have more? Quite a few words"

The great magician Esenka smiled slightly: "I don't have much, I only applied for 32 magic patents. But I paid a patent protection fee of 3,000 gold coins for these 32 magic patents, but it is more expensive than Torres a little more."

"How can I be richer than you?" Torres rolled his eyes.

The great magician Esenka laughed, pointed to the great magician Camilla and said: "If you really want to talk about riches, I can't even compare with Camilla now. I'm sure that Camilla applied for Magic patents should be the most among the few of us, and the patent protection fee is also the most paid."

Including President Allen, the eyes of the other four great magicians focused on the great magician Camilla.

The great magician Camilla shook his head slowly: "I am now a special researcher of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Magic Research Institute. Even if I apply for a magic patent, it is in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not in my own name. The payment Of course, the patent protection fee is also paid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and has nothing to do with me."

"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so rich, must have paid a lot of patent protection fees, right? A lot of words," Torres asked.

"I don't know about this, because Xu Yi asked people to do these things, and I didn't take care of them." The great magician Camilla replied.

Everyone looked at President Allen again.

President Allen coughed lightly, glanced at the great magician Camilla, nodded and said: "Yes, all the magic patents applied by the magicians in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are applied in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So I don't know which magic patent was developed by Camilla. But I do know that among the total of 563 magic patents applied by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the one that pays the highest patent protection fee , but paid a full 10,000 gold coins!"...

"10,000 gold coins?" All the great magicians including Esenka stared with disbelief. "Just for a magic patent?"

"Yes." President Allen nodded.

The great magician Esenka's heart moved, and he asked again: "Then... President, what is this magic patent?"

President Allen shook his head: "I can't disclose the details, but I can tell you that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to transfer this patent, I will definitely be willing to spend 10,000 gold coins, or even tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it."

The great magician Torres and the great magician Trucci exchanged a surprised look. The great magician Trucci moved in his heart and couldn't help asking President Allen: "President Allen, I heard that the one you drove The magic machinery factory is very profitable?"

President Alan's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands again and again: "That kid Anke opened it, and it has nothing to do with me. But the benefits...it's really not bad."

Seeing the smug look in President Allen's smile, the great magician Truchi hesitated for a while, then turned to the big magician Camilla and asked, "That... Camilla, what do you think... I ...can you also open a magic machine factory?".

Hearing the question of Grand Magician Truchi, the other four were startled.

When it comes to conservatism, even the great magician Camilla is far inferior to the great magician Truchi.

When discussing the patent rights of magic and issues related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the new magic machinery, the great magician Truchi has always been against it.

Now he actually proposed that he also wants to open a magic machinery factory? This really made the other four great magicians feel unbelievable.

The world is changing too fast, right? Many words have changed even the most stubborn and conservative Trucci!

After being stunned for a while, the great magician Camilla asked back wonderingly: "Truchi, what happened to you all of a sudden? Why did you think of starting a magic machinery factory? Weren't you the most unacceptable before?" .

The great magician Truchi sighed deeply: "It's hard to say. Anyway, I need money very much now, so you can tell me if I can do it? It's a lot of words."

"This... I'm not sure." The great magician Camilla shook her head. "It's not that easy to start a magic machinery factory. I think... with your personality, I'm afraid it won't work."
