After learning about the price of silver, Caokou, who was full of confidence, suddenly became silent except for an exclamation.

If it is said that the price of silver is two coins and nine cents of silver, or even two coins and eight cents and five cents of silver, it may be that the Black Island Haikou is deliberately lowering the price.

But today's silver price is too low, so low that it is on the cost line.

On the contrary, Caokou believed in this absolutely impossible thing, no matter how much the Black Island Haikou lowered the price, it was impossible for him to be stupid enough to push the price of silver to the cost line of cotton cloth.

In this way, the cotton cloth trade is no longer profitable.

The silver price of two dollars and five cents of silver must be true.

It's just that this silver price is not that a merchant really wants to sell cotton cloth for two dollars and five cents of silver, and the other party is targeting him.

After being silent for a long time, Caokou shouted: "Come on, prepare a dry gift for Zheng Chuandong." ”

It didn't take long for the big shipowner under Caokou to walk in with a pallet in person.

Twenty taels of silver were placed in it, and it was covered with a red cloth.

Caokou took the tray from the big shipowner's hand and put it in front of Zheng shipowner: "Thank you Zheng shipowner for reminding me about this." ”

"But this news is a bit shocking for Zaixia, and I ask Zheng Shipowner to go back and tell the big shipowner a few days of grace."

"Five days at most, I will definitely give an answer to the big shipowner in the future."

Zheng Chuandong put his palm on the red cloth, wiped it with his hand, and took away a pound of silver with the red cotton cloth.

Zheng Chuandong weighed the weight, roughly estimated that it was about twenty taels, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy to say, I will definitely bring Caokou's words when I go back." ”

Zheng Chuandong carried the red cloth in his arms, turned around and walked outside, and left the house in Caokou with his Haikou.

When Haikou left, Caokou called the other two shipowners.

He told the unbelievable news to his three shipowners.

The second shipowner and the third shipowner reacted exactly the same, and they all stood up from the officer's hat chair in disbelief.

The words that came out of his mouth were like repeating what Cao Kou had just said.

All exclaimed.

"Absolutely impossible!"

The big shipowner has been standing at the door waiting, and when Zheng Chuandong said this, he already knew it in advance.

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

This silver price is simply too low, outrageously low.

It's also a coincidence to the point that it's unbelievable, just pressed on the cost line.

The big shipowner took a cup of tea to calm down, looked at Caokou, who kept drinking tea, and said his guess: "The owner, someone must be targeting us." ”

Caokou nodded, agreeing 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, the two parties must have entanglements of interests.

Although Caokou is not small, he is only a rich man in the countryside.

There are a number of people who can be contacted, and there are even more powerful people such as rich people who can accept it.

It is not difficult to guess that a rich person who also meets two conditions at the same time.

The big shipowner thought about it for a while, and considered the rich people he knew in Caokou one by one.

The focus is on those rich people who have entanglements with Caokou, thinking about it, and suddenly looked at Caokou sitting on the main seat: "Could it be a Western businessman." ”

Before Caokou could speak, the three shipowners got up and said, "How is it possible, we haven't seen that red-haired ghost yet." ”

"How can the other party have nothing to do with the owner, and he is clearly making himself uncomfortable."

The second shipowner also agreed with the idea of the third shipowner, nodded and said: "Although I usually don't deal with the third shipowner, what he said is also very reasonable. ”

"We didn't offend the red-haired ghost, and we didn't rob the red-haired ghost's business."

"The red-haired ghost will definitely not rob the cotton cloth business without finding trouble, aren't you afraid that we will smash his yarn ingot workshop in Yanchi Village?"

Hearing a sentence that smashed the spindle workshop in Yanchi Village, there were still some hesitant big shipowners and Caokou, and they were completely determined.

This matter must have been manipulated by Western businessmen behind the scenes.

Only the red-haired ghost has the strength to take out so much cotton cloth, and push the silver price of cotton cloth to the cost line of two and a half cents of silver, regardless of the silver gains and losses.

There is only one reason.

That is a Western businessman who has never met before, and he is really worried about smashing his workshop in Yanchi Village.

In addition, as long as Caokou is squeezed out of the cotton cloth trade of the Black Island Haikou, the silver price of three coins of silver can be restored in a few months.

Thinking of this, Cao Kou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat for some reason.

Because he thought of a terrible fact, and it is very likely that the truth will become a reality.

That is, he has a good chance of becoming the second grandson Baohu.

How did Sun Baohu die tragically, and there has always been rumors outside that he offended the ringing horse of Fuyan Mountain.

But judging from all indications, there is also the Western merchant who went to Fuyan Mountain.

It must have been the Western merchants who gave higher silver profits that prompted Fuyanshan Xiangma to kill Sun Baohu, who had been doing business with them for many years, so that the Western merchants' spindle workshops were successfully opened in Yanchi Village.

The possibility that Caokou suddenly thought of was too frightening.

After drinking three cups of tea in a row, I barely calmed down.

But the sudden cold sweat on Caokou's forehead still showed that he was not in a calm mood at this time.

The big shipowner looked at Caokou in bewilderment, seeing that he had drunk so much tea, and still kept licking his lips.

He knew very well what was wrong with Caokou, he didn't have a dry mouth, but because he was too nervous.

The big shipowner asked puzzledly: "Owner, ...... are you?"

Cao Kou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said a name: "Sun Baohu." ”

The third shipowner and the second shipowner don't understand what is wrong with Sun Baohu, Sun Baohu has already died, how can he still have anything to do with Sun Baohu.

When the big shipowner heard Sun Baohu's three words, he first frowned and thought about it.

Soon, a dense cold sweat appeared on the door of the head.

The big shipowners also had in mind that terrible scenario, and it was likely to happen in the near future.

The Black Island Haikou was just like the Fuyan Mountain Ringing Horse a few months ago, because of the silver profit promised by the red-haired ghost, he killed Caokou and their men.

The big shipowner turned his head with difficulty and looked at Cao Kou, who kept licking his lips: "Owner, do you think it's a possibility." ”

Cao Kou just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything about answering the big boat's question.

The big shipowner sighed heavily when he saw Caokou like this.

He had a straight waist, but slowly collapsed on the official hat chair.
