Zhu Jingyuan was silent for a long time after receiving Chu Yuqiang's report.
It wasn't because of France's reaction. France's reaction was what Zhu Jingyuan expected.
As for what Prince Charles did, Zhu Jingyuan didn't pay attention at all.
Zhu Jingyuan was surprised by Chu Yuqiang's thoughts.
Dig it yourself and this craftsman is nothing short of a business genius.
I took advantage of the airplane experiment to hang advertisements on the wings.
You can also imitate it yourself.
Due to Bernoulli's breakthrough in aircraft research and development, Zhu Jingyuan had to start laying out aircraft patents in Europe and the West.
Now that Taixi can produce aircraft, the local civil aircraft market in Ming Dynasty should also gradually open up.
After a year of preparation, the Ministry of Industry and the two leading aviation industry leaders are also ready.
So Zhu Jingyuan wrote three reports and sent them to his father, the Ministry of Industry, and his own Daming Airlines.
Remind his father that Ming Dynasty officials and related companies can open the aviation industry to the local private sector.
Special flight training schools can be opened, and relevant majors can be opened in crafts schools.
Of course, the plane registration had to be done, and it was up to my father to decide whether to go to the Ministry of Industry or the Taipus Temple.
The Ministry of Industry is reminded that the drafted regulations and standards related to the aviation industry can be made public and the Aviation Industry Association can be formally established.
[By the way, currently the best one for reading and listening to books, @
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for setting up local offices of aviation industry associations and organizing basic aircraft pilot training schools.
Royal Flying Machine Company and Daming Aviation Company are responsible for production, sales and publicity in various places.
At the end of February in the first year of Ankang, the factory and personnel, which had been kept secret for more than half a year, officially appeared.
In Jingshi New City, a group of businessmen found the offices of two airlines to inquire about purchasing aircraft and training.
"Currently, the only aircraft sold to the private sector are comprehensive civil aircraft and small transport aircraft with less than five passengers, including seaplanes and land planes.
"The comprehensive civil small aircraft is the flagship product, with an optional engine power of up to 64 horsepower, a maximum range of 400 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour.
"It can carry up to two people and can carry less than 100 kilograms of cargo.
"It can be used for flight learning and training, simple aerial advertising activities, flight experience activities within a certain range, and short-distance travel.
"Purchasing an aircraft requires completing the registration procedures for the aircraft itself. To fly an aircraft, you need to obtain a driver's license through training and fly within the prescribed altitude and range.
"To operate related businesses, you need to apply for a license from the Aviation Industry Association.
"The Aviation Industry Association sponsored by the Ministry of Industry, the Royal Flying Machinery Company, and Daming Airlines have all opened special flight training schools, and you are welcome to sign up.
"At the same time, Daming Airlines has launched air travel services in pilot areas.
"Shuntian Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, Wuchang Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture, and the two adjacent cities on the map are within 800 kilometers apart, all have flights, and a one-way trip only takes two Hours!"
Sales were just beginning with a small number of aircraft types and limitations on engine power and use.
However, among civil aircraft, except for large and medium-sized transport aircraft and passenger aircraft, they do not require much power.
Large and medium-sized technology and transport aircraft are temporarily operated exclusively by the Royal Family Consortium and Daming Airlines.
The power and functional requirements of ordinary aircraft stipulated by the Ming Dynasty are basically based on the upper limit of what the West can achieve.
This power already meets civilian needs, and businessmen don't think there is anything wrong with this.
Some businessmen are interested in buying planes, but many more are interested in flights.
The distance of 700 to 800 kilometers took several days to travel before the advent of trains, but after the arrival of trains it was shortened to one day. ….
Now it has been shortened to two hours again. This efficiency shocked the businessmen.
Many people are surprised by the capabilities of the aircraft, and even more people consider the impact on business.
After the relevant news spread, more people came to consult and consider buying a plane, learning to fly, and flying.
Those who participate in and consult with these businesses are wealthy people, people who have made a lot of money in the past year.
Among those who have made more money, when they decide to buy an airplane, they also start to consider "building" an airplane.
In Songjiang Fucheng, several businessmen came to the Aviation Industry Association office to inquire about opening an aircraft manufacturing plant.
"Anyone who wants to obtain production authorization and participate in the aviation industry can apply to join the Aviation Industry Association.
“Through the Aviation Industry Association, all core patents required to produce aircraft can be authorized at once.
"The total licensing fee depends on the situation, but will not exceed 20% of the selling price of the aircraft."
After hearing these introductions, the businessmen had no reaction.
The 20% licensing fee is relatively high at present, but it is also a ratio that everyone has seen.
For an epoch-making thing like an airplane, a 20% licensing fee is acceptable.
However, with the introduction of the staff, the feelings of these businessmen began to change rapidly.
Soon I began to feel that the fee was not high at all, but very low, almost giving it away for free.
example.
Because they found that with the 20% licensing fee, they could get too much.
Because the airplane is a new invention, it is a new technology from beginning to end.
More importantly, the Ministry of Industry and the two major airlines have accumulated a large number of aviation industry patents in the past year based on the large number of drawings and tips left by Zhu Jingyuan last year.
The methods of aircraft manufacturing and control, the different uses of the aircraft itself, and all the accessories and raw materials of the aircraft cover all aspects needed by the aviation industry.
In the original history, the design was slowly accumulated over decades, but it was completed in one year.
These patents are not so much patents as they are complete design and production instructions.
With these patent documents, you will know how to design and produce aircraft.
Moreover, the aircraft produced have very complete and mature functions and can be directly used in various industries.
So this is actually a technical fee, not just a few patent fees.
If these patents were really sold as patents, or if they were sold separately, the price would have doubled several times.
Manufacturers who want to participate in the business can only purchase more important patents, and rely on hoaxing and circumventing small patents.
Even if the licensing fee for each major patent is only 5% of the sales price, the total fee will exceed 100%.
Then there is no way to charge patent fees based on the selling price. More than half of the manufacturing cost is patent fees.
Now after replacing the 20% licensing fee with the complete technology transfer fee, the price is very low.
Therefore, the Aviation Industry Association requires all authorized companies to join the Aviation Industry Association.
New aviation-related patents accumulated during the R&D and production process will be automatically reverse-licensed to the Aviation Industry Association. ….
This request is very overbearing, but according to Zhu Jingyuan's instructions, this authorization is not free.
If the corresponding patent is licensed separately in the future, the invention company will directly receive 70% of the licensing fee.
If the patent passes a comprehensive review and is confirmed to have certain necessity, it will be added to the overall authorized patent pool.
The inventing company would then be able to receive a share of licensing fees from all newly produced aircraft.
The Aviation Industry Association is equivalent to a patent sharing platform. Whoever provides more patents will get more shares.
Relevant companies are encouraged to create new technologies in the production process.
Most of the patents currently held by the association belong to Zhu Jingyuan, and Zhu Jingyuan has made a commitment.
The licensing fees allocated to you can be refunded according to the sales quantity, and up to 80% of the fees can be refunded.
In other words, the cost of this complete technology transfer is only a minimum of 4% of the selling price.
In this day and age, this is really so low that it can be considered a free thing.
As for the patents applied by Zhu Jingyuan, including the aircraft itself, they only cover the most basic control patents.
That is to ensure that the aircraft can fly and follow the simple instructions of the pilot.
There are no patents on other details and functions.
Zhu Jingyuan will not apply for detailed patents, which will not affect the amount of patent fees he obtains.
The patent licensing fee itself has a potential upper limit, which is required by the laws of various countries to not disrupt the market.
That is to say, you cannot offer an excessively high price. The exact price is not very accurate. It usually cannot exceed 30% of the total selling price.
Zhu Jingyuan's aircraft invention patent, plus the supporting basic control patents, were enough to earn the 30% licensing fee.
If you apply for more detailed design patents yourself, you won't get a higher licensing fee, which is equivalent to giving away technology for free.
Then it would be better not to sell it at all and let the Thai people explore and get those patents themselves.
In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, among the businessmen who consulted on the threshold of the aviation industry, there was no one who was really capable of running an aircraft manufacturing plant.
In a few days, I decided to join the Aviation Industry Federation and enter the aviation industry market.
The prospects of this market really don’t need to be specifically described by others. They can see the huge prospects with a little investigation and judgment.
They can also see the full support of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Industry and the royal consortium, as well as an airline led by a prince, for this industry.
It is impossible for an industry to lose money if it gets this kind of support, so many businessmen quickly decided to invest.
However, if they want to join and get all the authorizations and technical documents, it is not that easy.
They need to pass the review of the Aviation Industry Association and determine that they are reliable and powerful Ming businessmen.
Only after signing a technical confidentiality and sales guarantee can you be eligible to participate in the production of flying machines.
At the same time, all participating companies can only produce one type of aircraft in one category for the time being.
They are all restricted "general small civil aircraft" at the lowest level.
For the time being, they can only obtain the technical authorization and corresponding technical documents required to produce this type of aircraft. ….
During the design and production process, the Aviation Industry Association also provides on-site guidance, which is also a form of supervision.
The lowest-level civilian aircraft are the ones that most need the participation of private manufacturers to reduce costs and increase production as much as possible.
In the future, small seaplanes, five-person small transport aircraft, agricultural aircraft, etc. will be gradually opened.
There will be many such manufacturers at first, maybe hundreds or even thousands. Early aircraft are very simple, simpler than building cars. In the end, there may be dozens to one or two hundred left.
In this competition process, a small number of manufacturers have emerged from the large number of small manufacturers and demonstrated their operational and production advantages.
Only then will we have the opportunity to cooperate with the factories of Daming Airlines, Royal Flying Machinery Company, and the Ministry of Industry to produce large and medium-sized transport aircraft.
There may be a dozen such manufacturers.
Then the most powerful manufacturers, those deeply tied to the Ming Dynasty, were selected to produce fighter jets and bombers.
There should be only a few such manufacturers.
During this selection and competition process, the association gradually opened up its technology and production scope to private manufacturers of corresponding levels.
We cannot open up completely now, and we cannot release all technologies now.
Private manufacturers simply can't digest it, and most private manufacturers don't need the most high-end technology at all.
Opening up directly will only speed up the pace at which competitors can catch up.
Even these companies that have been scrutinized cannot completely keep secrets.
Even if they themselves do not disclose the technology, lack of awareness of confidentiality will cause the technology to continue to leak out.
Technology outflow is something that cannot be eradicated.
You can only be prepared for secrets to be stolen from the beginning.
Be prepared to control the probability of outflow from the source and control the technical level of outflow. .
