Chapter 380 Pan Yongming

Zhu Youchen was somewhat surprised to learn that the middle-aged man was actually the elder of the Holy State Demon Refiner Association.

It's a pity that now is not the time to be surprised by this. The key is how to get out of the situation while politely rejecting Pan Yongming.

"Well... this junior comes from a poor family, and he only studies demon refining on his own to make a little money. He has never thought about continuing his studies." Zhu Youchen had an idea and started to use lack of money as an excuse. After all, demon refining became more and more popular as time went by. money.

However, Pan Yongming's answer made him confused: "You don't have to worry about money. Why are you worried about having no money when you become my disciple?"

"..." Zhu Youchen's eyes froze, he didn't expect Pan Yongming to be so generous.

If you want to learn how to refine demons with Kang Chenzi, you have to rely on him to figure out all the study funds. Although Kang Chenzi has a lot of money, he has always let him stand on his own.

In contrast, Pan Yongming in front of him was much more generous. For a moment, Zhu Youchen was really moved.

However, Zhu Youchen also understood that the reason why Kang Chenzi did not give him financial support was not because of stinginess, but because he wanted to teach him how to stand on his own feet while teaching him how to refine demons.

In fact, his teacher Kang Chenzi was very generous to him, otherwise he would not have been able to use [Magnificent Dao Po] to exchange puppet skills for him from profiteers.

"Actually, this junior is not very interested in refining demons. Moreover, this junior still has many important things to do and will not be able to stay in the Holy City for long." Zhu Youchen continued to refuse.

Pan Yongming is not stupid. Seeing Zhu Youchen politely refuse twice, he naturally understands that the little guy in front of him is not willing to become his disciple. "I am impatient about this matter. You must be careful about becoming a disciple. You can seriously consider it for a while before doing so." Reply."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior." Zhu Youchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, as long as he got through this hurdle first, as for becoming a disciple, who would know who else as long as he could leave here?
"Nothing." Pan Yongming looked at Zhu Youchen with admiration, and said with a smile: "The fact that you can explore the third level of demon refining by yourself shows that you are talented in demon refining. It would be a pity not to take the path of demon refining."

"Senior is so complimentary." Zhu Youchen shook his head humbly and said tentatively: "Since senior asked me to think about it first, can I leave now?"

Pan Yongming was slightly startled, a strange color flashed in his eyes, then he straightened his expression and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, we haven't finished talking about the musical instrument yet~!"

"..." Zhu Youchen's forehead went dark, and his whole body froze instantly: "Isn't the matter of the melody over?"

Facts have proved that this matter is not as simple as he thought. The only thing to blame is that he is obsessed with money and ran into someone else's gun.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, Da Zhuang couldn't help but rant: "Fuck, I know this old man can't let you go easily. If it doesn't work, just kill him!"

Facing Da Zhuang's proposal, Zhu Youchen was also a little moved. Although Pan Yongming and the several clerks next to him were very strong, if he really wanted to escape, he would not have no chance.

After all, the main body demon can also perform a wave of "Golden Cicada Escape". In addition, it also has the magical escape skill of [Shadow Concealment].

However, just when he started planning how to escape, Pan Yongming's subsequent words left him stunned.

I saw Pan Yongming picking up the tea cup unhurriedly, taking a sip, and then said with a faint smile: "The matter of the musical instruments is naturally over. What I want to talk about now is the deal about imitation musical instruments~! "

"Huh?!" Zhu Youchen looked confused, thinking he had heard it wrong, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you think~?" Pan Yongming asked with a half-smile.Zhu Youchen thought that Pan Yongming was testing him further, but after repeatedly scrutinizing his demeanor, he found that Pan Yongming didn't seem to be joking, so he tentatively said: "If I understand correctly, you mean to discuss imitation with Wan." The musical instrument business?”

"That's right." Pan Yongming smiled and nodded.

"But didn't you just say..."

"Haha, I just said that your imitation behavior was wrong. I didn't say that I won't discuss this business with you." Pan Yongming showed a meaningful smile.

At this time, Zhu Youchen was completely confused and could not understand Pan Yongming's intention at all.

Seeing this, Pan Yongming smiled lightly and said: "I know what you are wondering about. The act of imitation is indeed wrong, and our Demon Refiner Association will resolutely resist it, but the musical instruments are different."

"What's the difference?" Zhu Youchen asked doubtfully.

"The essence of resisting imitation machinery is to protect mechanical creativity and patents, and it is also for the healthy development of the mechanical magic refining industry." Pan Yongming paused and asked meaningfully: "But what technology do you think the musical instrument has? Content?”

"Well, to be honest, judging from this junior's shallow level of demon refining, there really isn't much technical content." Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully.

"In fact, the key to the temperament instrument is actually the musical works in it. It should be a matter of the art circle, but the art circle does not have an organization like the Demon Refiner Association, let alone the ability to protect copyright." Pan Yongming explained: "So the masters in the musical circle came to our Demon Refiner Association and relied on mechanical copyright protection to safeguard their copyright interests. The musical instruments on the market today are actually produced by our Demon Refiner Association."

"I see." Zhu Youchen said thoughtfully: "In that case, your association and the music masters should be considered partners, right? Why...?"

"Yes, they are partners." Pan Yongming nodded: "The problem is that these temperament masters are so popular. You also know how much profit a temperament instrument can make, but you know the profit of a temperament instrument. We refine the magic How much percentage can the Teachers Association get?"

"Well, senior, please make it clear, junior really can't guess."

"Less than [-]%, the rest of the profits went into the pockets of those music masters."

"No way? So dark?" Zhu Youchen said in astonishment: "Strange, how did such an unfair division of labor achieve cooperation in the first place?"

"Well..." Pan Yongming said with some embarrassment: "It was mainly due to the decision-making mistakes within the association. At that time, I never thought that this thing could make so much money. Moreover, the pricing of these musical instruments was not so outrageous at the beginning, and the profits were not It’s very high, so the association didn’t take it seriously.”

Zhu Youchen nodded in understanding, "Then didn't you talk to them again?"

"We talked about it, but those music masters didn't give in at all, and the original contract was signed for 30 years. If we directly breach the contract, we will not only have to pay a large amount of magic dust, but also seriously damage the reputation and reputation of the association." Pan Yongming smiled bitterly and said: "So in the past few years, the association has been thinking about how to steal some pieces of meat from these music masters."

"I understand." Zhu Youchen suddenly said: "You want me to imitate a batch of musical instruments for sale and harvest some wool from the master of musical instruments."

"That's right." Pan Yongming nodded and smiled: "When the time comes, the association will turn a blind eye to you. As long as the latest musical instruments come over, they will give you a copy of the sample as soon as possible."
