While Jiang Yifeng and Su Yingxue were leisurely, there was chaos in Su City.
Because the price of ramie has begun to plummet again.
Many families don't know what's going on with this plunge. After all, the Su family's discovery of new paper-making raw materials has been proven to be fake. There is no reason for the ramie plummet.
However, how did they know that both the Su family and the Zhao family are selling ramie now.
These two families own almost 90% of the ramie. If one family sells ramie, it will cause a sharp decline. What's more, if two families sell ramie at the same time, it is simply a disaster.
The only good thing is that in the eyes of these families, ramie is still the only raw material for papermaking, so even if the price of ramie plummets, it is not as scary as the first time.
However……
Even so, Zhao Xu's face was particularly ugly, because the Zhao family still had nearly 50% of ramie left.
no way!
The Zhao family had purchased too much ramie before, and many families had recently purchased ramie from the Su family, so it was difficult for the Zhao family to sell the ramie.
However, what makes Zhao Xu most angry is that once the Zhao family lowers their prices, the Su family will also lower their prices, which is obviously targeting them.
"Father, how much ramie is left in our family?"
Suddenly, Zhao Bingfang came over again and asked with concern.
"a lot of!"
Zhao Xu only answered two words and did not continue.
The Zhao family couldn't use up 50% of the ramie.
In previous years, the most the Zhao family used was only 30% of ramie.
Zhao Bingfang frowned, "Can't you sell it?"
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't sell it, many families already have ramie, and they all bought it from the Su family."
Zhao Bingfang hesitated and asked, "Father, how much money can we lose this time?"
"At least one hundred thousand taels!"
When Zhao Xu said this number, his heart hurt like a knife. Even if the Zhao family was very rich, this number was not something he could bear for a while.
"Such a loss."
Zhao Bingfang's eyes widened.
Zhao Xu nodded, "When the price was not high at the beginning, our purchase price was three times that of previous years, and later it was never lower than six times."
"So, the Su family made more than 200,000 taels of silver this time."
"Roughly the same!"
Zhao Xu felt pain in his heart again.
He originally thought of taking advantage of Su Renshan's absence in Su City to seize the Su family's papermaking market, but he didn't expect that the Su family would lose so much money.
If he had known this outcome earlier, he would not have thought about the paper market.
"Su Dongchu is really good at it." Zhao Bingfang narrowed his eyes and continued: "Father, the only one who can restore the loss now is Su Dongchu."
"he?"
Zhao Xu looked at his son in confusion.
Zhao Bingfang explained: "He has a way to control the price of ramie. As long as he makes the price of ramie rise, we can make money by selling the ramie at a high price, but..."
Zhao Xu immediately understood what Zhao Bingfang meant, "Are you worried that Su Dongchu is unwilling to help the Zhao family?"
"Um!"
Zhao Bingfang nodded, "In order to attract the attention of the Su family, I deliberately asked Su Yingxue to marry me. You can imagine how much she hates me. How could Su Dongchu be willing to help the Zhao family."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu was a little puzzled, "Son, Su Yingxue is so beautiful, do you really not like her at all?"
"Like shit!"
Zhao Bingfang shook his head with certainty, "Dad, you don't know how scared I am of Su Hongyi, so no matter how beautiful his sister is, I don't want to have such an uncle."
Is Su Yingxue beautiful?
pretty!
The reputation as the most beautiful woman in Su City is not for nothing, even the courtesan in Su City is inferior to Su Yingxue.
but……
In Su Cheng's family, no young master dared to provoke her. The main reason was Su Hongyi.
Try to think about it, when Zhao Bingfang was a child, his two brothers who bullied him all day long were beaten black and blue by another person. How much psychological damage this caused to the child.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Su Hongyi is the devil in his heart.
Pursuing Su Yingxue, haha... Believe it or not, even if Su Yingxue pursues me, I will immediately kneel down to her and tell her to stay away from me.
"Well……"
Zhao Xu sneered, "The boss of the Su family is indeed a bit domineering. It's wise for you not to like Su Yingxue, but... I think the Su family might help us."
Zhao Bingfang was startled, "Why?"
Zhao Xu did not answer Zhao Bingfang, walked back and forth in the room several times, and said, "Father, you want to change the development direction of the Zhao family, from being the enemy of the Su family to cooperating with the Su family?"
"???"
Zhao Bingfang's face was full of questions and he continued: "But...but our two families have a grudge!"
Zhao Xu smiled and asked, "What's the grudge?"
"have……"
Zhao Bingfang was about to say something, but suddenly he was stunned again.
Did Su Dongchu steal his reputation as a master of poetry?
Please!
If someone writes good poems and takes away someone based on his ability, is this considered revenge?
The Su family deliberately manipulated the price of ramie, causing the Zhao family to lose a lot of money.
It seems that the Zhao family first stole the Su family's papermaking technology and then targeted the Su family. Even if there is a fault, it is still the Zhao family's fault.
The only thing that can be regarded as hatred is that Su Hongyi bullied his two brothers when he was a child.
but……
That was all many years ago, and the children's matter is not a family feud.
"It seems there is no grudge." Zhao Bingfang was stunned, "But... our family has done so many disgusting things, is the Su family willing to cooperate with us?"
"There is no hope if you don't try. At least there is hope if you try." Zhao Xu said.
"Would our Zhao family lose face if this happens?" Zhao Bingfang asked worriedly.
"face?"
Zhao Xu sneered, "Son, in terms of intelligence, your father and I are not as good as your three brothers, but when it comes to shamelessness, your three brothers tied together are not as good as me."
Dad!
Being shameless is not an honorable thing, can you please stop being complacent!
Zhao Xu continued: "We lost this round, and I originally thought about finding a chance to get back in the future, but seeing you praise Su Dongchu so much and praising him so much, I thought why not cooperate with the Su family. "
"If Su Dongchu is really as powerful as you say, then the Su family's momentum will follow. As long as our Zhao family can be bound to the Su family, we can take advantage of their momentum to reach a higher level."
"You must not be too serious in your life. You should bow your head when you should. Don't feel embarrassed. It is not shameful to lose to a powerful person. What is shameful is to be destroyed by a powerful person."
Zhao Bingfang listened to his father's teachings and froze in place for a long time.
In the past, he really thought that his father was just a businessman who only knew how to make money, but now he discovered that his father could also tell great truths.
"yes!"
Zhao Bingfang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you father for your teaching."
