People tend to attach too much value and attribute to money. Money is just a tool to make transactions smoother.

As for Powell, who can take out more than half of his family property and donate it to the support foundation free of charge, whether he is a consistent critic of gratitude or a speculator with a vicious eye, he is worthy of Bai Feng to give him the reward he deserves.

After the establishment of the support foundation, all the managers will be sent by the Governor's Palace, and those who will be able to obtain only a respected and good reputation will have some preferential business policies issued by the Governor's Office for them.

For example, the Green Chamber of Commerce, which has the largest amount of capital, can pay a nine-percent discount on the normal tax on the basis of each batch of goods that they need to pay to the Governor's Palace; this preferential policy can be more practical than any reward for the Green Chamber of Commerce, which has a huge flow of goods.

Although the Green Chamber of Commerce donated a full 30,000 gold coins to the support foundation, with the scale of the Green Chamber of Commerce, it only takes one or two years at most for them to earn back the 30,000 gold coins on the taxes they pay, and after two years, they will be in a profitable state.

Of course, the people in charge of the Green Chamber of Commerce, who have the courage to spend one-tenth of their chamber of commerce's assets to support the decision of the Governor's Palace, will naturally not be limited to small profits in terms of taxes;

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Bai Feng, who is the supreme ruler of Rome City, is willing to support the Green Chamber of Commerce, let alone earn back 30,000 gold coins in taxes, it is not difficult for the Green Chamber of Commerce to increase the total assets tenfold within a year.

The crux of the question is, does Bai Feng deliberately support the further development and growth of the Green Chamber of Commerce? The answer is obvious, Bai Feng will not do that. The reason is very simple, Bai Feng, who has studied economics for several years, is unwilling to let the Green Chamber of Commerce become a monopoly chamber of commerce in Rome City.

To a certain extent, the existence of a monopoly chamber of commerce can indeed promote the economic prosperity and development of the city of Rome in a short period of time, but this kind of prosperity based on monopoly is not much different from a castle in the sky, and it seriously lacks development potential.

Taking Bai Feng's motherland on the earth as an example, the various state monopoly enterprises that used to spread all over the country did play a positive role in promoting the country's economic development at the beginning of their birth, but with the development of the times, most of these enterprises have become the burden of national development.

If it weren't for a great 'designer' who changed the economic status quo of the country with a method of learning from the enemy, sooner or later, the motherland that Bai Feng loved so much would be dragged to death by these gloomy and bloated monopolies!

How could Bai Feng take the initiative to support the Green Chamber of Commerce to become a monopoly chamber of commerce? A good economic development trend is based on fair commercial competition, and this level playing field is what the Governor's Office needs to create.

However, if the Governor's Office does not give an official reward to the Green Chamber of Commerce with the largest contribution, it will inevitably discourage the enthusiasm of the donor chamber of commerce; since donating more and donating less is a treatment, which chamber of commerce is willing to be the leader of the most donations in the future?

After much thought, Bai Feng decided to ask Vipsani, in the name of the Governor's Palace, to give a special reward to the Green Chamber of Commerce that donated the most funds, that is, the Green Chamber of Commerce could lease up to three merchant ships or transport ships belonging to the Governor's Mansion without paying a deposit.

Such a reward is a temptation that they cannot refuse for all the chambers of commerce that are actively exploring overseas trade, especially the Green Chamber of Commerce, whose liquidity has plummeted, and the reward of the Governor's Mansion is simply supporting them to become bigger and stronger!

While other chambers of commerce could only lease one merchant ship or transport ship for their desperate efforts, their Green Chamber of Commerce was able to lease three merchant ships or transport ships without a deposit;

Because the Green Chamber of Commerce, which can lease three official ships of the Governor's Mansion without paying a deposit, not only has more ships than other chambers of commerce to participate in overseas trade, but can also use the deposit that should have been paid to the Governor's Mansion to expand the trade volume of its own chamber of commerce.

More merchant ships and transport ships represent more cargo volume, and more working capital means that the Green Chamber of Commerce can buy more goods from Mutsu, so that the overseas trade development speed of the Green Chamber of Commerce is at least three times faster than that of other chambers of commerce!

In order to avoid the Grimm Chamber of Commerce, which received a special reward from the Doge's Palace, it developed into a de facto monopoly Chamber of Commerce in the city of Rome, and the day after the reward was announced, Vipsani released the reward system he had formulated overnight in the official name of the Doge's Palace.

This reward system, which was established in accordance with the establishment of the Foundation, designated December 1 of each year as the official donation day for the Foundation, and all the chambers of commerce in the sphere of influence of the city of Rome could come to Rome spontaneously to participate in the donation.

All chambers of commerce participating in the donation, if the donation fund is less than 500 gold coins, there will be no official reward of any kind, and the donation funds between 500 gold coins and 5,000 gold coins will enjoy a one-year preferential tax policy of the Governor's Palace.

Those who donate between 5,000 gold coins and 20,000 gold coins will enjoy a one-year preferential tax policy of 20% off the Governor's Palace, and those who donate between 20,000 gold coins and 50,000 gold coins will enjoy a one-year preferential tax policy of 7% off the Governor's Palace.

Those who donate more than 50,000 gold coins can enjoy a one-year preferential tax policy of the Governor's Palace, and at the same time, they can also rent a transport ship in the form of no deposit, and after that, for every 50,000 gold coins, the transport ship leased without deposit can be added.

In addition to these regular rewards, the Chamber that donates the most gold coins each year can enjoy the rewards within the range of the gold donated coins, and can also charter three merchant ships in the form of no deposit, and it should be noted that these rewards are also valid for one year.

This means that the Green Chamber of Commerce now enjoys three times the development speed of other chambers of commerce, and it will end in a year, and at that time, as long as the chamber of commerce donates more gold coins than the Green Chamber of Commerce, the Green Chamber of Commerce will lose their development speed advantage.

Perhaps, with the development speed of the Green Chamber of Commerce in the next year, other chambers of commerce in a year will definitely not be able to come up with more donation funds than the Green Chamber of Commerce;

Otherwise, if the Green Chamber of Commerce continues to develop rapidly, wouldn't the reward system that Vipsanilao had painstakingly worked out be a mere formality? Appropriate restrictions and appropriate control were within the scope of the Governor's Office.

As for Powell, whom Bai Feng admired, at Bai Feng's behest, the Governor's Office officially set up an honorary committee composed of the presidents of various donor chambers of commerce to support the foundation, and appointed Powell as the first president of the honorary committee.
