To Dong Shuheng's expectation, businessmen paid the most attention to the Trademark Law.
In the past year and a half, the commercial development of several cities under the jurisdiction of the Huaihai Navy, especially Dafeng, Gaoyou, Yangzhou, and Shanghai, has been very rapid, and a large number of factories have been built.
Driven by Huaihai Company and Yangtze River Company, as well as Yangtze River Bank providing low-interest loan services for starting businesses, more and more people have entered the business field.
Some of these people were originally landlords and gentry, some were originally big businessmen, and some were originally small businessmen with little status. These small businessmen were enterprising and creative, and received loan support from the Yangtze River Bank.
Everyone saw that the companies founded by Huaihai Company and Yangtze River Company were making huge profits every day, and only then did they realize that companies started with new machinery and equipment were actually so profitable.
As a result, a large amount of capital poured into the industrial field.
In this way, related industries within Huaihai Navy gradually formed a cluster effect.
Dong Shuheng also asked some large machinery manufacturing companies and shipyards of Huaihai Company to outsource the processing of some parts.
Even if you eat meat, you also want others to drink soup, right?
This not only greatly improved the efficiency of Huaihai Company's manufacturing plants, but also led to the emergence of a large number of small businesses.
The more companies there are, the more signboards there are.
Gradually, there are people who use other people's brands. This kind of thing is condemned, but there is no way to prevent it.
So when these businessmen went to attend legislative hearings and heard that there was a law like the Trademark Law, they immediately became interested.
It turns out that the law can also govern things like signboards. If there really is a Trademark Law, then you don’t have to worry about others using your trademarks in the future.
Businessmen welcome this law very much. Everyone has only one suggestion, that is, the penalties for counterfeiting other people's trademarks must be harsher.
Fewer people pay attention to the "Copyright Law". Only a few bookstores pay attention to it, and they are all owned by Huai Haijun. Nowadays, printing books and publishing newspapers is not yet popular, mainly because it is not very profitable.
So only Huai Haijun is doing it, and Huai Haijun's main purpose of doing this is to promote himself.
However, now a group of literati have emerged who rely on publishing works in bookstores to make money to support their families. For example, there is a group that specializes in writing vernacular novels. Most of these people are scholars from poor backgrounds.
But often when a book published by a bookstore sells well in the market, a small printing workshop will soon produce pirated copies of the book.
This not only reduces the bookstore's income, but also greatly reduces the author's copyright income.
Therefore, people in bookstores are very concerned about this "Copyright Law". They hope to pass this Copyright Law to crack down on those who pirate copies. It is best to crack down on those who buy pirated copies. At the very least, they must banish people to the Far East.
area.
The Patent Law is currently mainly used by Huai Haijun himself, and the current R&D institutions and R&D personnel are mainly concentrated under Huai Haijun.
The establishment of the "Patent Law" is actually very beneficial to scientific researchers, and it has additionally increased a large part of their income.
It enhances the motivation of scientific researchers to invent and create.
Dong Shuheng also hopes that through this publicity of the Patent Law, people will see that invention and creation are no longer just a miraculous thing, but a way to make a fortune.
Laws not only have a normative effect on society, telling people what they should do and what they cannot do.
It also has a guiding role, which can guide people's behavioral habits and develop in a better direction.
…
The backyard of the Presidential Palace has been so busy these days!
Because Dong Shuheng's wedding was approaching, Shuyun and Shumei came to live with the Bai family. They are all a family, and they will definitely come to help now.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Chen were making house arrangements. The two younger sisters now ran to play with Wei Yuzhen and Yang Ximei.
Dong Shuheng was strictly ordered by Mrs. Chen not to look for his second daughter in the recent period.
At this moment, Dong Shuheng was reading in the study, accompanied by Hui'er.
He reads books not to learn anything, but to seek a state of peace of mind.
Hui'er stood behind him as always. Every time Dong Shuheng drank all the tea in the small teacup, Hui'er would help him refill it.
Hui'er knew that the young master had a habit of drinking all the tea in the small teacup in one gulp.
Especially when he is reading.
So Huier would be asked to prepare an extra-small cup for Dong Shuheng every time.
Otherwise, the young master would have to go to the toilet once in a while while drinking.
The young master’s favorite drink is Pu’er from Yunnan, and the glutinous flavor.
In the middle of the year, people from Yunnan sent several decades-old tea cakes, all of which were very well-raised.
The tea Hui'er made for Dong Shuheng today was taken from one of the tea cakes. When the tea was put into the cup, the aroma of tea mixed with the aroma of glutinous rice floated out.
The water in the teapot was changed to the third pot, and Dong Shuheng finally put down the book in his hand.
What he was holding in his hand was Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws". Dong Shuheng had long been familiar with the discussion of law and some theories of separation of powers in it.
He dug out this book today just to read the discussion about political systems in it. Democracy, republic or autocracy, that is a question.
This issue must be resolved before the Manchus are overthrown. At least Dong Shuheng must make a decision in his own mind.
Dong Shuheng knew that most of the people under him wanted to be emperor, because in the hearts of most people, they hoped that a Han would lead them to reshape the rule of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Of course, there are also people who have the idea of becoming a prince or a prime minister.
After all, if Dong Shuheng didn’t proclaim himself emperor, it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to become princes either!
However, Dong Shuheng knew very well that the imperial system was a strange cycle. On this planet, this kind of political system had only a few years to live.
Even in later generations, there are still people who call themselves emperors, but they are just their mascots. Such emperors are just higher-level wage earners, and they have to always pay attention to their image.
These people don't even have their own personal freedom. For example, the emperors of small European countries in later generations are no better than the stars who signed contracts with entertainment companies.
"Hui'er, do you think I will be the emperor, young master?" Dong Shuheng suddenly stood up and walked around twice in front of Hui'er.
Hui'er was startled by Dong Shuheng's surprise.
"Master, if you become the emperor, who would dare to say whether you look like him or not?" Hui'er said with a smile. She thought the master was joking with her again.
"But I see that those who play emperors on the stage are never serious about their words. But you are cheerful with everyone. This way people will not be afraid of you!"
"As an emperor, do you have to make people afraid?"
"Isn't it? Doesn't the emperor's high position mean to make others fear him?"
"Then if I become the emperor, will Hui'er be afraid of me?"
"I don't know either, Master." Hui'er lowered her head and said thoughtfully.
"Then Hui'er hopes that the young master will become the emperor?"
"As long as you are happy, Master, I can do anything."
Hui'er offered her universal answer again.
Dong Shuheng felt that it would be good to be the president he is now.
A dictatorial power leader, he basically has all the powers that an emperor has. He just doesn't have the title of emperor.
However, don't underestimate this title. In the eyes of Chinese people, this title represents the supreme meaning.
In Dong Shuheng's plan, it is best for China to establish a republic controlled by the Hui Party in the future. When Dong Shuheng was young, he would maintain a dictatorship, and this rule might last for decades.
With the popularization of education and the opening of people's wisdom, Dong Shuheng will gradually hand over the power in his hands, allowing the Renaissance to truly control the country.
From now on, China will no longer be decided by one person.
Of course, this is just his personal imagination.
As for whether he will become obsessed with power and become a real dictator when the time comes, even he himself cannot tell.
The mainland of China is the Chinese Republic. What about those overseas vassal states?
Dong Shuheng cannot lead China to occupy the entire earth. The places a country can control are always limited.
Dong Shuheng would definitely not give up on the vassal states of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
There were as many as 19 vassal states of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the most, including Korea and Ryukyu in East Asia; Myanmar, Siam, Annam, Nanzhang and other countries in Southeast Asia; Gorkha, Chemengxiong, Bhutan, etc. in South Asia.
Ladakh and other countries; and the Kazakh Khanate, Bulut Khanate, Kokand Khanate, Aiukhan, Badak and other countries in Central Asia.
Some of these countries have been infiltrated by foreign powers and even colonized.
These countries have many strategic positions that are very important. Dong Shuheng feels that these countries should be part of the Greater China Circle in the future.
Dong Shuheng had a plan for a Greater China Circle in his mind. This circle encompassed the entire Pacific Ocean.
Dong Shuheng felt that if China wanted to develop safely, the Pacific Ocean must be under control.
The current layout of the Huai Navy in North America and South America is not to completely occupy these two places. That would be unrealistic. If that were the case, Dong Shuheng would simply lead China to dominate the earth.
Since the emergence of civilization, this planet has never been completely controlled by any country or nation.
That's not necessarily a good thing for the planet.
Dong Shuheng just hoped that countries in South America and western North America could be established dominated by Chinese people.
These countries, including island countries in the Pacific, will become members of the Greater China Circle in the future.
Moreover, these new countries will all be countries dominated by Chinese.
Coupled with the Chinese countries established on the Southeast Asian archipelago, a Chinese influence circle surrounding the Pacific Ocean will be formed.
Now that this circle has been formed, do the British still want to continue to dominate Australia?
By then, without Dong Shuheng’s instructions, the Chinese themselves will have penetrated into Australia. With Australia’s current population base, they will soon be overwhelmed by the Chinese.
Of course, China's homeland will also expand. At least China will have freedom of all kinds of resources.
Only in this way can the continued strength of the Chinese Republic be ensured. Only when it is strong can the entire Greater China Circle have cohesion and not fall apart.
As for how the entire Great China Circle will exist, this is also a question. At that time, Dong Shuheng will not be able to canonize those kings as the President of the Republic.
Institutional problems have always troubled Dong Shuheng. Today, Hui'er was by Dong Shuheng's side. Dong Shuheng found a rare peace of mind and thought about this problem carefully.
