Chapter 63 Terrible Reality

After Caokou, who was full of confidence, suddenly became silent except for a scream.

If the price of silver is two cents and nine cents, or even two cents and eight cents and five cents, it may be that the Black Island pirates are deliberately suppressing the price.

But the price of silver is too low now, and it is low enough to be above the cost line.

Caokou believed in this absolutely impossible thing. No matter how much the Black Island pirates lowered the price, they would never be so stupid as to push the silver price to the cost line of cotton cloth.

In this way, cotton trading is no longer profitable.

The silver price of two cents and five cents must be real.

However, the price of this silver is not that a merchant really wants to sell cotton cloth of two or five cents of silver, but the other party is targeting him.

After Caokou was silent for a long time, he shouted: "Come here, prepare a gift for shipowner Zheng."

Not long after, the big shipowner under Caokou walked in with a pallet.

There were twenty taels of silver inside, covered with a piece of red cloth.

Caokou took the pallet from the big shipowner and placed it in front of the shipowner Zheng: "Thank you for your reminder about this."

"But this news is a bit shocking for me. I also asked the shipowner Zheng to go back and tell the shipowner how many days to be given."

"After five days, I will definitely give the big shipowner a reply."

Box Zheng covered his palm on the red cloth, wiped it out, and used a red cotton cloth to carry more than a pound of silver.

Boatmaster Zheng weighed the weight and roughly estimated it was about twenty taels. He smiled and bowed, "This is easy to say. I will definitely bring Caokou words when I go back."

Box Zheng put the red cloth in his arms, turned around and walked outside, and left the house in Caokou with the pirates under his command.

After the pirates left, Caokou called two other ship owners.

He told the three ship owners of this incredible news.

The second and third ship owners reacted exactly the same, and they all stood up from the official hat chair in disbelief.

What he said was like repeating the words Caokou just said.

They all exclaimed.

"Absolutely impossible!"

The big shipowner was standing at the door waiting. Just when the shipowner Zheng said this, he had already known it in advance.

The second time I got confirmation from Caokou's mouth, I was still shocked and sat on the official hat chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

The price of this silver is really too low, to an outrageous level.

It was also a coincidence that it was incredible and was just above the cost line.

The shipowner spent a cup of tea to calm down, looked at Caokou, which was constantly drinking tea, and expressed his guess: "Our boss, someone must be targeting us."

Caokou nodded and agreed with the big shipowner's statement: "Who do you think this person should be."

If the other party is targeting Caokou, first of all, the other party must know Caokou, and secondly, both parties must have conflicts in interests.

Although Caokou is quite powerful, it is just a wealthy family in the countryside.

There are many people who can come into contact with, and there are even more powerful people who can accept wealthy families.

It is not difficult to guess a wealthy family who meets two conditions at the same time.

The big ship owner thought about it for a while and thought about the wealthy families he knew from Caokou one by one.

The focus is on those wealthy families who have conflicts with Caokou. After thinking about it, they suddenly looked at Caokou, who was sitting in the main seat: "Can they be Western businessmen?"

Before Caokou could speak, the three ship owners got up and said, "How is that possible? We have never seen that red-haired ghost."

"How could the other party beg the boss for nothing? It's obviously making it uncomfortable for him."

The second ship owner also agreed with the third ship owner's idea and nodded, saying, "Although he doesn't deal with the third ship owner very much, what he said is reasonable."

"We have not offended the Red-haired Ghost, nor have we snatched the Red-haired Ghost's business."

"The red-haired ghost will definitely not be able to make trouble to grab cotton cloth for business. Are you not afraid that we will smash his spindle workshop in Yanchi Village?"

When I heard a sentence that smashed the spindle workshop in Yanchi Village, there were some hesitant ship owners and Caokou, which were completely confirmed.

This matter must be manipulated by Western businessmen behind the scenes.

Only the red-haired ghost has the ability to take out so much cotton cloth and press the silver price of cotton cloth to the cost line of two cents and five cents of silver, not caring about the gains and losses of the silver.

There is only one reason.

That was the Western businessman I had never met before, and I was really worried that I would smash his workshop in Yanchi Village.

Another point is that as long as Caokou is squeezed out of the Black Island Pirates' cotton cloth transaction, the silver price of three cents of silver can be restored in a few months.

Thinking of this, Caokou suddenly burst into a cold sweat.

Because he thought of a very terrible fact, the facts are likely to become reality.

That is, he is very likely to become the second Sun Baohu.

How did Sun Baohu die tragically? It has been rumored outside that it was offended Fu Yanshan's loud horse.

But from various signs, there was also the Western businessman who went to Fuyan Mountain.

It must have been the Western merchants who gave higher silver benefits, which prompted Fu Yanshan Xiangma to kill Sun Baohu, who had been doing business with them for many years, which allowed the Western merchants' spindle workshop to be successfully opened in Yanchi Village.

The possibility that Caokou suddenly thought of was too shocking.

I drank three cups of tea in a row and barely calmed down.

But the sudden cold sweat appeared on Caokou's forehead, which still showed that he was not very calm at this time.

The shipowner looked at Caokou in confusion, and saw that he had drunk so much tea, but he kept licking his lips.

I knew very well what was wrong with Caokou. He was not dry-mouthed, but because he was too nervous.

The big ship owner asked in confusion: "Boss, you are..."

Caokou swallowed with difficulty and said a name: "Sun Baohu."

The third ship owner and the second ship owner did not understand what Sun Baohu was doing. Sun Baohu had already died, so why was it still related to Sun Baohu?

When the big ship owner heard the three words Sun Baohu, he frowned and thought for a while.

Soon, dense cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The big ship owner also thought of that terrible situation, and it is very likely that the situation will happen soon.

The Black Island pirates were like Fu Yanshan’s horses a few months ago. Because of the promised Yinli by the Red-haired Ghost, they killed Caokou and their men.

The big ship owner turned his head with difficulty and looked at Caokou, who was licking his lips constantly: "Boss, do you think it's possible."

Caokou just smiled bitterly and did not say anything to answer the big ship's question.

The shipowner saw Caokou like this and sighed heavily.

He was originally straight and slowly collapsed on the official hat chair.
