Chapter 78 A cheat book is worth a million
"I was not from Baicao Sect at first, so can I register this medical book directly into my name?" Chen Ming didn't quite understand the laws in this regard, but this kind of behavior of directly possessing other people's things seems not good, right?
"The author of this medical book has been away from this world for at least hundreds of years, or even thousands of years!" Wang Xi pointed to the medical book, "In terms of copyright, this thing is similar to the situation in "Taizu Changquan" and is no longer protected by law.
However, martial arts secrets cannot be viewed according to the general situation of books. Just like this medical book, it has too few circulations, and you may even have the last lonely book in your hand. For example, the country allows you to apply for re-registration for martial arts secrets that have not been registered and have a very small number. In fact, this is also considered encouraging the public to discover and protect these kinds of martial arts secrets."
"But I'm still a little...I can't understand..." Chen Ming didn't understand why there was such a rule.
"Then guess, why didn't others register before?" Wang Xi asked with interest.
"Why?" Of course Chen Ming didn't know, he could get ownership by registering.
"Because while registering, who can guarantee that the state itself will not retain a copy?" Wang Xi replied, "That is, the state protects your ownership of this book and pursues those infringement of ownership. Relatively speaking, the state may obtain the right to use this secret book for free... In other words, recognizing your 'ownership' of this secret book is the 'reward' given to you by the state."
"In other words, in order to avoid the state sharing its secrets for free, the original holder did not register?" Chen Ming immediately figured it out.
"It is also possible that you don't want your own martial arts to be leaked, especially this kind of medical book... Having said that, sects like this almost never exist..." Wang Xi sighed, "Our country is much stronger than you think. A powerful country cannot allow it to be apart from management and has a force that disrupts local public security."
"In other words... our five core martial arts of the Five Humen..." Chen Ming suddenly realized a problem.
"Yes, it was probably the head of the sect two generations ago. He went against the opposition and registered the five core martial arts of the Five Humen with the Ministry of Culture." Wang Xi said helplessly, "It is fortunate that the core martial arts of our Five Humen are quite special. Who wants the martial arts of the sect? There is no secret medicine of this sect and the tonic of the sect to curb the land and the Soul-Breaking Sword and the Pojun Gun. There must be problems with the other three sects."
"So that's it..." Chen Ming had to admire the wisdom of the previous leader.
"Because of this, the Wuhumen survived as the first group of sects that were subject to state supervision and jurisdiction. Later, the Wudang Shaolin and Kunlun Sect also registered one after another. Several major sects began to register, and some other small sects also registered one after another.
Those who are not registered will eventually go bankrupt for various reasons or cannot recruit disciples. In the end, the remaining disciples have to join the group to keep warm and surrender to the country. After mediation, they formed the current Xiaoyao Sect." Wang Xi nodded and then explained.
So from that time on, the martial arts sect began to accept state supervision and management. If a disciple wants to travel, he must register a "champion certificate". Fortunately, this thing is not limited to the number and does not require assessment. As long as there is a sect certificate, it is the sect that will take responsibility if something happens. Therefore, this is what it means.
Relatively speaking, if you hold a hero certificate, you can carry weapons (cold weapons, bows and arrows) on cars, trains and planes. Just follow the rules, you must cover up the weapons to avoid scaring ordinary people. At the same time, you can enjoy priority and preferential treatment when buying tickets; even if necessary, you can obtain assistance from local police departments.
"I said so much..." Wang Xi did not intend to continue, "Although the certificate was not sent, you can handle this medical book by yourself. As for its value, selling ownership directly is enough to make you rich overnight. However, if you want to maximize your value, I suggest you, don't talk about ownership, don't even sell the right to use, monopoly is the most profitable!"
"Oh..." Chen Ming didn't know what monopoly was, but he could probably guess something in the literal meaning. He knew that Wang Xi was considering him, so he nodded to show that he understood.
After leaving the Young Tiger Pavilion, Chen Ming went to find Peng Ye again, but he didn't expect that the latter was looking for him as well.
After the two met, Chen Ming told the latter about the medical book. When Peng Ye heard that there was no copyright issue in this medical book, he breathed a sigh of relief. The country may not be able to take care of ordinary copyright issues, but he attaches great importance to the copyright issues of martial arts secrets.
If the copyright owner of this medical book comes to ask for compensation in the future, then Wuhumen will be in a loss. At least, a lawsuit will definitely not be able to beat the copyright owner.
"Speaking of this, I was just trying to find you. The head of the sect knew that you had developed the Basic Sweat Method. Even though it does not have promotional value at present, it still cherishes it.
So there are two proposals: the sect will come forward to register for you, but the sect will purchase the right to use this secret book and pay you a one million transfer fee; the sect will buy out the secret book and pay you a five million transfer fee, and at the same time, transfer the right to use this breathing method to you at one price. You and your descendants can practice this breathing method at will." Peng Ye immediately told him the reason for finding Chen Ming.
"One million? Five million?!" For Chen Ming, who grew up in a small mountain village, this was simply astronomical.
"After all, according to common practice, it is not only the "Tunna Method" itself, but also the subsequent exercises extended from the "Tunna Method". As long as you improve this exercise and the similarity between the exercises exceeds 50%, then the ownership of the new "Tunna Method" will still belong to the sect!" Peng Ye explained, "The head of the sect is afraid that you will suffer a loss, so the price is higher."
It has not been promoted at this stage, but it may not be possible to improve it in the future. It is easy to imagine how much value it will be. If you buy it for one million or five million, the sect will take too much advantage.
"This amount is beyond my imagination... I need to think about it." Chen Ming retreated a little, or a thirteen-year-old child from an ordinary background, was no longer surprised without hesitation when facing such a huge sum of money.
"Yes!" Peng Ye also knew that it was a bit reluctant to ask him to answer directly, "In addition, no matter which one you choose in the end, it will be half of the amount, and it will be directly handed over to Mr. Tie's second son, right?"
"Yes!" Chen Ming did not hesitate about this matter. This breathing method contained a lot of effort from the old lady.
"As for your medical book... to be honest, I didn't expect it to be the core inheritance of Baicao Sect, so there is no way to deal with it simply. I still need to ask the head to make a decision. But the result is nothing more than two ways to purchase the right to use and buy out the medical book. The price... may not be as high as the breathing method, so you must be mentally prepared." Peng Ye immediately answered the medical book.
The concept of an ordinary turtle breathing method is completely different from the core inheritance of a sect. Just like antique paintings, which were painted by any person in the Ming Dynasty, and those painted by Tang Bohu, can be the same?!
I used to be interested in the turtle breathing method, but now it seems that the Five Animal Fighting Method is also very valuable as the previous medical skills. If possible, it is better to buy them together.
