New Bricks
FADE IN:
EXT. CAR - DAY
PETER is at driver seat, waiting. We hear from car radio: "...property prices have gone down nearly 20%..."
PETER (V.O.)
Wow, that much? So quick?
"Brick" crumbling?
INT. LOBBY LOUNGE - DAY
Five-star and harbour view. A WAITER takes orders from a LADY (50s) and Peter.
PETER
(Pointing at the menu)
I'll have a "quick breakfast".
Croissant, grape juice and
latte.
The waiter nods.
PETER (Cont'd)
(To the lady)
Let me return to my new
vision. I see conditions to
establish an IP-based capital
market.
LADY
(Energized)
I like your vision a lot!
PETER
Sharing company ownership,
selling debts, mortgaging
property to raise capital. Why
not the buying and selling of
IP in a market place?
The lady nods and nods.
PETER (Cont'd)
No demand? Or no supply?
No value? Or no market?
The lady digests the message.
PETER (Cont'd)
The problems are inter-
related.
A pause.
PETER (Cont'd)
Due to the political-economic
controversy between US and
China, people be aware of
the power of intellectual
property.
The lady listens attentively.
PETER (Cont'd)
The innovative and disruptive
market can be a virtual and
therefore global. Hong Kong
and other visionary financial
centres are experimenting
regulatory sandboxes of new
business models.
Pausing. PETER (Cont'd)
Since your company's business
model is based on IP, you should
act timely!
The lady reflects.
PETER (Cont'd)
Drawing an analogy, I just want
to turn sand into "bricks".
The lady smiles.
PETER (Cont'd)
At the moment, individual IP is
just like a grain of sand. There're
many ways to turn sand into
bricks. But many people don't
know how to do it.
The waiter puts croissant, juice and coffees on the table.
PETER (Cont'd)
I suggest everybody have a
"quick breakfast". Some don't
get it and won't bother. They
have their own croissant, or
juice, or coffee.Or a full breakfast
is just too much or expensive.
The lady smiles.
PETER (Cont'd)
One way to be creative is to capture something in between.
Eg making a quick breakfast in
a 5-star hotel value for money!
The lady laughs as Peter puts butter and jam on his croissant and sips his juice and latte.
PETER (Cont'd)
At the core of any business or
economy in the 21stC, it is IP.
IP should be used as security
to raise capital. There are
unsecured ICOs (Initial Coin
Offerings). How about Security
Token Offerings STOs using IP!
The lady refills her coffee.
LADY
Yes, there's a lot that we've to
follow up.
INT. STUDY - DAY
Peter checks his computer photo files. He stops at a selfie depicting him at a sandy beach.
PETER (V.O.)
An alternative way of seeing
the world in a grain of sand -
nothing is too small if one
thinks and attempts big!
FADE OUT. The End
