Chapter 2940 Answering questions on the spot
Bai Yixiu nodded, "Yes, the family can only auction off one state capital's qualifications for selling salt, and the salt indices you bought can only be sold for a fixed period of time in this area.
This official will use the capital as an analogy. Those four qualifications, no matter who they are, can bid for them. You bid for each other until no one continues to raise prices, and choose the top four companies from high to bottom. Those who have obtained the qualification to sell salt will have the opportunity to buy salt indices.
The salt purchased by these four merchants must be sold in the capital and surrounding areas, and the price is determined by the government. You four are not only responsible for selling salt, but also maintain the stability of the salt price in the capital. If someone stocks up on salt, they will not only lose the qualification to sell salt, but will also be imprisoned.
In doing this, although your profit is less, if you can sell more salt in the region, the profit will also increase. By the way, the salt you bought from the salt farm cost ten cents per pound and twenty cents per pound. Now the purchase price is 5 cents, not more than ten cents. The salt price is lower, and many ordinary people can afford salt, and you make a lot of money.
Finally, the most important thing is that as long as you do not commit crimes, your salt merchant’s qualifications can be passed on to future generations for life. Think about it, leave gold, silver and jewelry for future generations, and when you encounter unfilial children, you can lose everything, but only with this qualification, it is equivalent to the fact that all your descendants can sell salt......"
Bai Yixiu's voice is gentle, and he will explain it clearly to everyone word by word.
When these people heard this, they liked it even more.
This Lord Lin is really good at speaking. Gold, silver and jewelry can be defeated, but as long as he is qualified to sell salt, his descendants can have money to spend.
Another person raised his hand, "Sir Lin, the younger one has questions."
Bai Yixiu nodded, "Okay, ask."
"If someone else auctions the salt and doesn't want to do it anymore, can he transfer it to others? Since it is lifelong, but some people have no descendants, or can't continue to do it for other reasons, can he transfer it to others for such a situation?" asked Boss Wang, a tea businessman.
Bai Yixiu chuckled, "This qualification is given by the government. Since you don't want to do it, you naturally have to go through the government and cannot be transferred privately. The other three companies are not qualified to redeem this qualification.
For this qualification, you can choose a high-priced one in this area. Of course, the premise is that this company must be innocent and do not commit any illegal crimes. The reason why it is divided into four companies is to prevent one from dominating the country and manipulating the local salt prices."
······
Bai Yixiu spent most of the time explaining, his voice was gentle and comprehensive.
These wealthy businessmen have the first time seeing such an approachable official, and have a good impression of Bai Yixiu.
"Now there is no doubt, so let's start the auction process." Bai Yixiu said softly, "Everyone can auction the qualifications of selling salt in the area at will. Even if you are not familiar with the place, you don't have to worry. Now the court will have a salt inspector. If you are obstructed in selling salt in the local area, or persecuted, you can come to the salt inspector to file a lawsuit directly.
Everyone who is here also knows that Lin is still the Censor of the Salt Survey. Even if his official position is adjusted in the future, he will continue to manage the matters of the salt administration. Since the court has been qualified to sell it, he will not ignore it. Come, we will start auctioning Yunzhou now...."
