Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight [Gan's House on the Law Part 2]
There is another update tonight:)
Playing with the 'perfume', Old Ganlong couldn't put it down. He looked up at Bai Dong and smiled and said, "No wonder you want to add decrees. You are the best at 'inventing' these weird things. Once these two decrees are issued, you will be the most profitable. Boy, young and gentle, why are you so greedy for money?"
Bai Dong curled his lips secretly, this is what it means to only allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light the lamps. When it comes to greed for money, how can I compare to Uncle Gan? Who doesn’t know that the Gan family’s business is doing a great job, with influence spread across Shandong countries, and even traveling to Bashu, but now they talk about me?
"You guy slander me in your heart, thinking that I am the one who is the best at doing business and greedy for money, right?"
"I don't dare, and this is not a kid's complaint. Who doesn't know that the Gan family, Meng, Xi and Bai tribes are rich enough to compete with the country? The emperor also said the same thing, it's impossible to be wrong." Bai Dong looked at Gan Long with a smile, not afraid at all.
Gan Long put down his perfume, stared at Bai Dong with his old eyes for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Good boy, good boy! Everything is good, but it's a pity that this boy is not my son. I'm sorry, regret..."
"My father is too partial. In your eyes, other people's sons are good, and Sheng'er is in every way." Gan Sheng felt really wronged and couldn't help blurting out.
"fool!"
Old Gan Long glared at his son, pointed at Bai Dong and said to him: "It has not been a day since you met Ping'anlang. Have you ever seen him tell him which important minister in the court is profit-loving and greedy for money?"
"I never did it when I go back to my father."
"Why did he clearly say that in front of his father, the rich family is as rich as a country, and he also quoted the words of the emperor? Have you ever thought about it?"
"I......"
"What do I do? Times change. A real man will change from time to time. Even if he is not a villain, he will be a talentless person! The two laws that Ping Anlang wants to implement are the fundamental means of gathering wealth. If he does not recognize that the Gan family is a person who likes money first, how can he be a father? As soon as this is said, whether it is my Gan family or the Meng Xibai family, he will become a kind of person with him without realizing that he will become a kind of person. It will be convenient to talk about anything in the future. This is the most clever way of meeting, and you must remember it in my heart!"
"promise......"
Gan Sheng looked at Bai Dong blankly, hoping that he would shake his head, otherwise it would prove that he was really stupid. Unfortunately, Bai Dong didn't shake his head and was nodding to him with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Gan is right, but he is also wrong."
"Oh? What new insights do you have?" Gan Long was stunned and looked at Bai Dong in surprise.
"Uncle, please think, who is not greedy for money in the world? It is difficult to do without money in life. With Confucius' power, if he had not had a rich student, he would not have been able to preach the name of a saint early, right? A country without money will be weak, and a weak will have no strong soldiers and diplomatic relations; the people will have no wealth, and poor will have few friends and friends. If everyone does not seek wealth, how can the country get taxes? What does it mean to not pay more money? Haha, that is just an excuse for lazy people to find themselves."
"Well said! Sheng'er, you must keep this insight in mind."
Old Gan Long has first-class cultivation skills and rarely praises a person like this. But after hearing Bai Dong's words, he still couldn't help but exclaim: "So, what Meng Ke said, "Don't worry about being weak but not being equal" is just bullshit. No, it is ten thousand times more smelly than bullshit! The method of only seeking equality but not making money is that everyone is so poor that they have no clothes to wear. Is it because the world is peaceful? Big bullshit, too smelly!" Bai Dong was stunned. He just explained the importance of the economy in a tactful way. Why did Uncle Gan scold Master Meng? It is probably the two of them who have argued. It is still the debate relationship of disagreement in which they treat each other as enemies.
"Boy, I have read your Trademark Law and the Invention Patent Law. The former is very good. I have traveled to various countries in Shandong and found that even the most developed Qiluguan City, the city of Qilu, seems to be missing something. After you reminded me, I realized that merchants from various countries have lost their own logo names, which makes it difficult to distinguish clearly! Not to mention ordinary small businesses, even the Fan family business that claims to be full of power all over the world, due to the lack of legal protection, the Fan family business with the same name in the world has countless Fan family businesses, haha."
"Uncle Gan has a good eye. He once conducted a survey on Bird Wine and found that there are many old merchants in Liyangguan City for more than ten or twenty years, such as the Zhang family pork bar in Dongshi. His pig heads are not much pickled and delicious and oily, so they naturally become famous. However, when they were seen by those who were interested, they learned to put a pig head in front of the store, saying that his surname is Zhang, and the old households in Liyang may still be able to distinguish, and the newly promoted citizens and foreign people cannot distinguish. Zhang family pork once reported to my brother Bai Chong, but in the end it was left unresolved because it lacked legal basis and could not protect the interests of Zhang family pork."
"I can see this, but if it is just like this, I will not support you. The most wonderful thing about this method is that after the merchant gets the trademark recognized by the government, he will inevitably take more into consideration the reputation. In this way, the good ones will become better. Over time, it will be like the movement of heaven and earth, and it will have the power to move forward. If a trademark reaches its peak, even if the merchant fails due to an unexpected change, as long as the trademark is present, it can be quickly reopened, and the government's tax revenue will be more stable. Boy, are you uncle Gan not too confused, right?"
Not only is it just not that he is old and confused, he is just an old fox! Bai Dong sighed in his heart. This is the terrible thing about knowledge. Old Ganlong is just limited to his vision. As long as he is a little aware of himself, he will immediately understand the "disaster resistance" of trademark brands. As Coca-Cola Company said in later generations, Coca-Cola is worth one billion US dollars, and this market is still rising. If the old Qin Kingdom is compared to the person who planted rice and regards merchants as rice, then trademarks are the magic weapon to enhance the disaster resistance of these rice. He can see through this truth at a glance?
"In this way, Uncle Gan will not oppose the Trademark Law?"
"Haha, if you hadn't known that you were a disciple of Mr. Guigu, I would have thought you were a successor of the Legal family. This "Trademark Law" is easy to understand, and the concept is clear, and the department is detailed. It is hard for you to have a fresh term such as "legal responsibility" and "relief measures". As you said, if someone "infringes" the merchant's "registered trademark", I, the old Qin official, can only be punished according to the provisions of these two rules. Boy, it's amazing! Even the Bailixian Prime Minister's method in the prosperous era may not be so detailed. I really wanted to find some faults, but found that this was a very energy-consuming thing, and even if it took energy, it would be difficult to change it... Boy, you called Uncle Gan in a friendly manner. Didn't you deliberately make things difficult for me?"
Gan Long's words seem to be joking, but he highly praised Bai Dong. No wonder he could not change a word. This kind of legal language is a compulsory task for later legal workers. It usually involves accurate legal concepts. Anyone who changes a little will cause ambiguity. Not to mention him, even the Supreme Court of later generations can only explain. If the law is to be amended, it will be necessary to have an expert group organized by the Grand Legal Affairs Committee. How can it be changed by saying it?
Gan Long was stunned. In his memory, his father had never praised anyone like this. He was no longer so impressed by Bai Dong at this moment. He looked up to him and thought to himself that if his father could praise me like this, I would... I would close my eyes even if I died.
Bai Dong smiled slightly: "Uncle Gan admires the Trademark Law so much, the boy is even more worried."
"oh?"
Gan Long looked at Bai Dong with a smile for a long time, and laughed out loud again: "Good boy! You are always looking for opportunities. A talent like you really should go to the military camp to be a general. Could it be that you have learned military tactics with Mr. Guigu?"
"Uncle Gan was joking. The boy knew that it was probably more difficult to accept than trademark law inventing patent law. Although he was knowledgeable and well-known, he was inevitably subject to ordinary people's opinions. This was something that the boy had expected."
"Haha, I can't praise you, kid, right? I just said that you have learned military geniuses and show off your traitors. Before I could speak, I was first put on the hat of a 'subterian opinion', and so without leaving any trace, it is the most confusing thing. If an ordinary person debates with you, it would be strange if he doesn't lose. Yes, although I also highly praised the "Invention Patent Law", I was also worried that I would encounter obstacles and difficulties when implementing it, but I don't know how you kid will solve it."
"Uncle Gan is talking about the patent application, explicit announcement and other procedures? Or is it the attitude of my old Qin minister and the nobles of various families?"
Bai Dong smiled and said, "These are actually all calculated by the boy. What are the doubts about Uncle Gan? How can I explain them one by one?"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it too. It depends on what you say, hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
