Finally, he looked at Lin Jiuniang with a serious face:
"Ms. Lin, someone really wants to mess with us.
I just received news from businesses all over the world that they have all received orders.
Each store carries anywhere from one thousand to five thousand pieces of cotton cloth.
I just made statistics on the orders I have received. So far, the total number has reached 80,000 horses.
If there are orders from other places in the future, I am afraid it will exceed 100,000 horses."
Speaking of this, Gu Xiaobao's face became particularly solemn:
"The most important thing is that the delivery time of these goods is the same, twenty days later.
If we can't deliver the goods by then, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of money."
If I didn't want to attract them, I wouldn't have so many people ordering at once.
And the delivery time is the same day.
This is obviously a problem.
Lin Jiuniang's face sank, her eyes sharp:
“There is no doubt that there will be more orders in the future.
And the goods..."
Lin Jiuniang looked at the loom on the side, "They are sure we can't hand it over."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaobao became anxious.
Eyes tense:
"Then, what should we do?"
He felt like he was going to faint when he thought about the amount of compensation he would have to pay if he failed to deliver the goods. It was an astronomical figure.
If the whole thing is paid out, Mrs. Lin will have nothing.
“Cold salad!”
The chill on Lin Jiuniang's face gradually deepened:
"The other party is coming for us, so naturally they won't let us complete the task easily.
The destroyed loom is the first step."
Representatives from various villages flashed in Lin Jiuniang's mind:
“Next, there will also be problems with cotton, the raw material of cotton cloth.
We will probably be intercepted and no one will sell the cotton to us."
"What?" Gu Xiaobao was anxious.
"I, I will take people with me right now..."
"It's too late, don't worry about it." Lin Jiuniang stopped him.
A hint of sarcasm curled up at the corner of his mouth:
"With so many orders and only our looms, we can't complete them even if we work around the clock."
Gu Xiaobao was angry.
boom!
He punched the pillar beside him and gritted his teeth:
"Damn it, who is planning all this?
It is simply an exhaustive plan, blocking all our roads and not giving us any way to survive."
If Mrs. Lin falls, their Anle Village will definitely fall.
The cold light in Lin Jiuniang's eyes gradually grew stronger, "You want to block me, Lin Jiuniang?"
A fierce light flashed by:
"It's not certain who will win until the end. If you're discouraged now, it's too early."
Gu Xiaobao was shocked and raised his head:
"Ms. Lin, do you have a way to fight back?"
Lin Jiuniang sneered, asked Gu Xiaobao to come closer, and then whispered softly into his ear.
Gu Xiaobao opened his eyes wide and hesitated:
"Ms. Lin, if you do this, will you shoot yourself in the foot?"
He was afraid that they would trick him in the end.
"Don't worry, just do as I say.
No matter how much we smash, it will only hit their feet, definitely not our own."
Gu Xiaobao nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Lin Jiuniang stood there, her mind quickly filtering through various solutions.
The other side comes prepared.
He must be well aware of the situation on his side.
Otherwise, the loom would not have been destroyed to delay time, and the damage would have been done so cleverly.
One hundred thousand pieces of cloth, one hundred and two thousand taels of silver.
Ten times the compensation, that is 1.2 million taels.
Good calculation.
This is to make her bankrupt.
No, this is not enough to make her bankrupt.
So, one hundred thousand pieces of cloth was just the beginning.
It might be 200,000 horses, or it might be 300,000 horses.
Such a big gesture, she was scared!
He took out hundreds of thousands of taels at once to play with her.
Daye, I'm afraid there is no such person.
No one in the Three Kingdoms can afford to play with her.
A dark light flashed in Lin Jiuniang's eyes. Do you want to defeat Lin Jiuniang like this?
dream.
Lin Jiuniang turned to look at Carpenter Xu who was repairing the loom:
"Carpenter Xu, can any of your apprentices and grandchildren do the job you are doing?"
Carpenter Xu raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly:
"Ms. Lin, do you look down on me and think I'm not worthy of teaching a good apprentice?"
Lin Jiuniang smiled and shook her head:
"Carpenter Xu, I just like your confidence.
Let me ask you, are you interested in participating in an epoch-making project?
Don’t worry, the reward will not be less.”
Carpenter Xu raised his head, "Tell me about it?"
"There's no rush," Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up slightly, "There's still a shortage of people. I'll tell you when I find all the people. You'll definitely be interested."
Carpenter Xu continued to repair the loom with his head lowered, "Get ready, call me."
"good!"
Lin Jiuniang turned around and strode outside.
If the storm is coming, let it come harder.
Carpenter Xu raised his head, glanced at her figure, and shook his head:
"The sky is going to change."
…
By evening, what Lin Jiuniang and Gu Xiaobao said came true.
We originally agreed to deliver cotton this afternoon, but no one came.
The rumor suddenly spread throughout Anle Village.
Everyone in Anle Village was full of worries about this.
"The beard was cut off," Gu Xiaobao said with a serious face:
"The mysterious man gave them two hundred coins a pound for the first batch they picked, and they sold it."
He is not worth it for Mrs. Lin.
It's obvious that Mrs. Lin has done so much to promote cotton cultivation, but these people don't appreciate your kindness at all.
I regretted what I had agreed to do.
"Normally, if it were an extra fifty cents per catty, I would be tempted too," Lin Jiuniang smiled.
Let Gu Xiaobao not take these things to heart. It is his nature to pursue profit.
Gu Xiaobao nodded with a straight face:
"Ms. Lin, the news has been released, but it's a pity it's a little late.
I will definitely make these people walk around without food!"
"Well, I'll trouble you next," Lin Jiuniang nodded.
Just when he was about to speak, there was a lively noise outside the gate.
Lin Jiuniang walked out and was stunned for a moment when she saw Sun Hongcai of Baole Village outside the gate.
Then he asked in surprise:
"Village Chief Sun, why are you here?"
"Send cotton," Sun Hongcai pointed to the team behind him. Each of them was carrying two big bags, and the bags were filled with snow-white cotton.
After that, he looked at Lin Jiuniang seriously:
"Ms. Lin, we agreed to sell it to you before, and we will sell it to you.
We people in Baole Village will not do such treacherous things just because of petty profits.
We all still remember your great kindness, Mrs. Lin."
"Yes, we all remember it!"
The people behind him also shouted!
Sun Hongcai was satisfied and looked at Lin Jiuniang seriously:
"Ms. Lin, we agreed before that it would be one hundred and fifty cents per catty, so it will be one hundred and fifty cents per catty. We won't raise the price with you because of anything else.
Now, please arrange for someone to step on the scale."
Lin Jiuniang smiled and shook her head:
"But I can't let you suffer, right?
If others give you two hundred coins, I, Lin Jiuniang, will give it to you as well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked Gu Xiaobao to take them to weigh and settle the bill.
As soon as she arranged this matter, Sun Hongcai immediately called her aside nervously to talk:
"Ms. Lin, you have to be careful, someone is targeting you."
Immediately afterwards, he told the story about a stranger who came after they left.
"You mean, he showed up as soon as we left?" Lin Jiuniang asked with a frown.
"Yes," Sun Hongcai nodded, "I suspect they followed you here, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to wrap up the cotton from our village, saying that the price was 10% higher than what you gave."
Speaking of this, Sun Hongcai shook his head:
"Ms. Lin, I'm afraid you might offend someone, so you really have to be careful."
Lin Jiuniang nodded seriously:
"Thank you very much for Village Chief Sun.
I still have something to trouble you with, can you describe to me the appearance of the person who is looking for you?"
Sun Hongcai shook his head, "I can't help it.
The other party was wearing a mask and could not see clearly.
But his eyes are sharp, he is tall and burly, and his voice is dark!”
Lin Jiuniang frowned, saying this was the same as not saying it.
Because there are people everywhere who agree with this characteristic.
After chatting with Sun Hongcai for a while, Lin Jiuniang fell into deep thought after he left.
The person targeting her was probably an acquaintance.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t see people wearing a mask.
But who is this person?
Lin Jiuniang looked up and her eyes flashed when she saw the man walking through the night not far away.
