Is table salt valuable? Of course, it's precious, whoever doesn't eat salt one day keeps his hands and feet soft, if you don't know, you can imagine what the white-haired girl looks like to know the consequences of not eating salt.

However, it is not necessarily true that salt is precious, and in modern society, it is common to hear doctors instruct many patients to eat light food and put less salt and oil in stir-frying.

Of course, this situation will only happen in a modern society with abundant materials, and it will not happen in the Ming Dynasty, where the productive forces are backward and materials are scarce, Yang Feng's main purpose in coming to the modern society this time is to get a batch of salt and sell it to the Horqin tribe in exchange for the materials of the Horqin tribe, the first batch of 500 tons of salt is only the first step of his small test, and contacting this director Bai is also a step in his plan.

For Director Bai, although Yang Feng, a big customer, is a bit mysterious, but for him, this is his God of Wealth. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, if you can sell an additional 500 tons of salt, the unit's year-end bonus will definitely be more than last year, and Director Bai, as a hero, will definitely be able to add points in the eyes of the leaders.

Don't think that this is the author's nonsense, local protectionism exists at all times. An incident that happened a few years ago is a good illustration of the absurdity of local protectionism, a small business owner closed his restaurant, returned to his hometown to continue his old business, and who knew that a few days later he would be in trouble, not for anything else, but because of his salt.

When he opened a restaurant in another place, he still had half a box of salt left and it was useless, so when he went home, the little boss took this half box of salt back to his hometown and continued to use it when he opened the restaurant. Later, it was discovered when it was inspected by the people of the Salt Industry Law Enforcement Brigade, so the people of the Salt Industry Law Enforcement Brigade immediately issued a ticket.

This little boss is also confused, he can't figure it out, this is also the salt he bought from regular channels, why can it be used in other places, but it can't be used here? So he got into an argument with the law enforcement brigade, but this was also a mistake, and he was still fined.

Of course, the official explanation given for this matter is that in view of the different iodine deficiency of the people in various regions, for the sake of the health of the people, the salt sold in each region contains different iodine and trace elements, so it is very necessary to prohibit the purchase of salt across regions.

At first glance, this reasoning sounds very reasonable, but on closer examination it is ridiculous. You say that iodine deficiency is different in different regions, so it is necessary to prohibit the sale of salt in other places locally, but how dare you guarantee that the physical condition of everyone in this area is the same, and do you dare to guarantee that everyone in this area is deficient in iodine or not deficient in iodine?

If it's not guaranteed, then here's the problem. If a place specializes in selling non-iodized salt, and encounters a household that is deficient in iodine, how can they buy iodized salt? Some people may say that the salt industry department in this area can make several kinds of salt, iodized salt or non-iodized salt, so that people can choose for themselves.

But this is even more ridiculous, you can make iodized salt or iodized salt, can't other local salt industry departments make it? And what reason do you have to prohibit the local sale of off-site salt? In fact, in the final analysis, this kind of thing is still the cause of local protection, and why this kind of thing happens, in the final analysis, is still for the sake of profit, which is why Director Bai was a little out of shape when he heard that Yang Feng was going to buy 500 tons of salt.

Five hundred tons of salt, the profit in it is at least one million, which is not a small amount for the Salt Bureau, at least it can make their unit have a fat year. It's not a shame to talk about money these days, so Director Bai's face quickly became "cheerful", and he was so happy to talk and laugh with Yang Feng for a while, when he determined that Yang Feng would purchase more salt from them in a few months, his attitude towards Yang Feng could even be described as respectful.

After the two separated, watching Director Bai's car disappear into the street, Yang Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that whether it is in ancient or modern times, the wise saying "money can be a god" will never be outdated.

"Chrysanthemum ancient sword and wine, soaked in coffee into the hustle and bustle of the pavilion ......"

A fierce sound of the electronic piano and a passionate bell sounded, causing the curious eyes of pedestrians on the street, Yang Feng took out his mobile phone and pressed the connect button, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Ah Feng, are you done talking about things there?" ”

"I'm done talking here, is your finale dinner over? What the...... You're still drinking, huh? ”

"I can't help it, the two Mr. Wang and Director Zhao both said, let you come and lead people, otherwise they won't let me go......" Yan Danchen's somewhat aggrieved voice came from the microphone.

Half an hour later, a black Audi A8 stopped in the parking space at the entrance of the hotel in Hengdian, and soon Yang Feng, who was wearing a dark suit, walked out of the car and walked into the hotel.

"How about it, or I won, I'm willing to gamble and lose, I'll ask you if you accept it?"

"I'm ......%¥#@"

Da Wang and Xiao Wang shook their heads helplessly, and Xiao Wang even gave Yang Feng a roll of his eyes "ruthlessly", and complained with some tears and laughter: "Won't you come back more than ten minutes late." ”

"What the hell are you playing with?" Yang Feng, who had just come in, was full of fog, or Yan Danchen pulled him aside and explained to him in a low voice with a smile, it turned out that after Yan Danchen called Yang Feng just now, Da Wang, Xiao Wang and Zhao Baogang bet to see how long it would take for Yang Feng to arrive. Zhao Baogang bet that Yang Feng would arrive within forty minutes, while Xiao Wang bet that Yang Feng would arrive in fifty minutes and an hour later, respectively, but Yang Feng arrived in only half an hour.

"Hey...... What are you gambling with me? Yang Feng asked the three of them curiously.

Zhao Baogang, who won the bet, took a string of bracelets handed over by Da Wang with some reluctance and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Boss Xiao Wang promised to play a role for free in my next play, but Boss Da Wang lost his string of dzi bracelets to me." ”

"Tsk...... I said, you guys, can you still be serious? Yang Feng couldn't help but laugh and pointed at these people, and he had an expression that he couldn't do anything about them.

"What are you afraid of, anyway, if you want something good, just look for you." Xiao Wang didn't feel the frustration of losing the bet at all, but leaned over to Yang Feng's side and asked with a smile: "Boss Yang, I finally caught you, you can't say anything good if you don't take out some good things, right?" ”

Yang Feng glanced at him and pouted: "What a good thing, no." I've been busy with that lately, and I don't have the time to do that stuff. ”

And everyone on the side looked at Yang Feng's disgusted expression and were dumbfounded......
