"Your Majesty, news has come from Japan that the Sakura Falling Project has been launched. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As the focus of Chen Ming's attention, as soon as Japan's big plan was launched, it was immediately sent to Chen Ming.

The words in Liu Wu's mouth were very short, but there was a thick stack of documents handed over by him. It's all about the causes and consequences of the "Cherry Blossom Falling Plan" plus analysis.

"The Korean issue has not yet been implemented, and Japan is about to start the second phase of the big war." Chen Ming said with some emotion.

He wants to control Japan economically, and this is a very big proposition that takes time, and the second phase of the 'war against Japan' is related to the progress of this plan.

Stirring up national sentiment in Japan by taking action on the stock market, and without giving time for such anti-China sentiments to accumulate, let them keep surging and surging. Actual cotton, then department stores, and finally all Sino-Japanese commodity trade.

One battle after another constantly consumed the anti-Chinese enthusiasm of the Japanese, as well as their economic strength, and finally through a real 'decisive battle', the little devil was completely knocked to his knees.

Mitsubishi Textile in Mino Heibei is a beginning.

In the months ahead, Mitsubishi Corporation has played a good role in warming up the stock market. Relying on the 'hot sales' of Mitsubishi cloth and the strength of the Mitsui family, Mitsubishi's shares were popular as soon as they were listed. At the same time, it has also opened up a new wave of 'anti-China' that has its own promoters, both openly and covertly.

"Even the shogunate did it?" Regarding this investigation, Chen Ming saw several familiar names from the report.

The Kyoto Imperial Family, the Satsuma Shimazu Family, the Mori Family of Nagato, the Mitsui Family, and the Tokugawa Family of the Shogunate......

"So if there is a fluctuation in the Japanese stock market, will these families take a sell-in to support the market?" They should die and never think that on the surface it was just a fight between the Sumitomo family and Mitsubishi, but it was just the fuse for the real explosion.

"Tell Tang Feipeng and Wang Pingbei that I watched their performance in Nanjing." Chen Ming's heart suddenly rose with endless pride.

The world is material, and you can't do whatever you want. Fighting for capital, China is unlikely to lose to Japan. The more fiercely the two sides compete on this point, and the more they invest, the greater the losses of the Japanese will be in the end. Because he wanted to provoke Mitsubishi, Chen Ming held a very simple and simple method in his hand, China can lift the table.

That's the biggest difference between the two sides.

Japan's struggle cannot be regarded as a struggle for China, but China also has the ability to flatten the 'war' at any time.

Closing his eyes, Chen Ming could imagine the stunned and dumbfounded appearance of some people at that time.

This night, Chen Ming's activities on Li Xiaomei ended at one o'clock in the middle of the night.

Li Xiaomei, who was almost prostration, leaned on Chen Ming's chest without moving, and after falling asleep, she still used her round and slender beautiful legs to clamp Chen Ming's waist.

……

"Of course, there must be Mitsubishi's own planting base. Cotton from the East is not suitable for machine spinning. Whether it is China's cotton or Japan's cotton, it is far less suitable for mechanized production than India's cotton. China has now started to introduce cotton from the Indian region, and there is also the legendary better texture of Egyptian cotton. ”

"If Mitsubishi wants to become bigger and stronger, and not be held hostage by the outside world, it must have its own planting base."

“………… Because of the different climates between China and Japan, it is best to bring all the upland cotton seeds and set up an experimental base in the southern part of the Mie Ise Plain for trial planting and cultivation. I believe it won't be long before we can find a woven-type cotton seed that is suitable for growing in Japan......"

Mino Pingbei is holding a high-level meeting of Mitsubishi Textile, at which Yan Ziqiu, the deputy general manager he hired from China, talked about Mitsubishi's biggest problem now - the source of raw materials cannot be guaranteed.

Japan's cotton production is not high, and in previous years they still had to import cotton from North Korea, which is a big headache because of the short fiber and high production cost of East Asian cotton - compared to the Indian cotton used by many Chinese textile companies. This is a question that must change!

However, the Japanese environment determines that it is impossible for the little devils to change arbitrarily according to their own ideas, and the cotton of the little devils in later generations is almost all purely imported. Japan's climate and narrow cultivated area determined the birth of the 'dead end' of Japan's cotton spinning industry.

And China has a vast land, suitable for growing long-staple cotton, just like the breeding and improvement of sheep and war horses, Chen Ming has not forgotten this in his mind. At present, there are large areas of foreign cotton in the land south of the Jianghuai River in the process of cultivation.

Yan Ziqiu has a very 'professional ethics' spirit and does his best to help Mitsubishi Textile improve his strength. After winning the 'good start' of Mitsubishi Boshoku, he has been committed to the promotion of the production base. The project could even be called "Japanese Cotton Seed Improvement".

Mitsubishi Textile has nothing to disagree with this matter, although Mitsubishi's internal has not been completely kneaded together, but these people have a good vision. However, despite Mitsubishi Boshoku's reputation, its strength was still quite limited, and it was impossible for Japanese cotton farmers to achieve a plan to improve their cotton seeds on their own, and they had to contact the Tokugawa shogunate.

Then at this time, a staff member walked into the conference room and muttered twice in Mito Kogoro's ear with an anxious face, and then many people saw that Mito Kogoro's face, who was the absolute confidant of Mino Heibei's 'assistant', changed suddenly.

Intuition tells many people that this is not going to be good news. Yan Ziqiu on the side also stopped his mouth, and Sanye Pingbei's face became more serious.

And then......

Mito Kogoro walked a few steps to Mino Heibei's ear and whispered: "Lord, I just got the news that a large number of cheap cotton yarn and cotton cloth suddenly appeared on the ground in Nagasaki. Several small foreign banks also suddenly intervened in the cotton market, and they were wantonly raising the price of cotton, and we snapped up the triple cotton ......"

Mito Kogoro is a very heavy person, and he can't help but gasp a few times at this time, how is this bad news.

……

Five days later, an even more exciting message arrived. Not only Nagasaki has seen a large number of cheap cotton yarn and cotton cloth, but also Osaka and Edo, two of Japan's largest commercial districts, have also seen a large number of cheap cotton yarn and cotton cloth.

This price is only 80% of Mitsubishi's!

"President ......"

In front of the office building, I saw Mino Pingbei, and Hirohiko Kato, the sales manager in charge of import and export, hurriedly greeted him.

Nodding towards Hirohiko Kato, Heibei Mino walked directly to the office, not saying a word on the way, and waited until he entered the office before speaking. "Kato-kun, what are the problems with the sale of cotton yarn and the purchase of raw materials now?"

"That's ......" Hearing Mino Pingbei's inquiry, Hirohiko Kato hurriedly explained the matter.

However, because a few days ago, a large number of cheap cotton yarn and cotton cloth suddenly appeared on the market in Nagasaki, and the price was nearly two percent lower than that produced by Mitsubishi Boshoku, which directly affected the sales of Mitsubishi Boshoku's cotton cloth, and this impact even fluctuated the price of the stock market. In addition, there was news from Mie that someone had deliberately raised the purchase price of cotton, and five days later, the news had spread, which caused them to 'buy' cotton from cotton farmers and had to raise the price accordingly. Otherwise, the cotton farmer would not have put his own handprint on the agreement.

In the face of their own interests, they don't care whether Mitsubishi Boshoku is the pride of Japan or not.

No one in the market is at a loss for money, and now the merchants in Nagasaki are busy buying low-priced cotton textiles, and the cotton farmers of Mie are busy selling their cotton at a high price. Although the cotton yarn and cotton cloth produced by Mitsubishi Boshoku did not go unnoticed, the trouble was fed back into the Edo stock market.

"The enemy's distribution volume is very large, and it is not only us who has been impacted, but also many Chinese cloth merchants who have been unsalable."

"Dumping at low prices, fighting a price war?" After listening to Hirohiko Kato's narration, Mino Heibei frowned.

If this kind of thing were to be placed in the 21 st century, it would be absolutely vicious competition. However, in the current era, especially in Japan now, the government has no corresponding policies and orders, but the relevant commercial law that China is formulating includes sanctions in this regard.

Of course, even if Japan does not have a decree in this regard, it is easy to solve the problem by issuing a ban from the government. But the problem is that since Mitsubishi's enemies have put on such a big posture, they will definitely not forget about the shogunate. Mino Heibei had sent a generous gift to Nagasaki three days ago, but Nagasaki was powerless. He did tell Sanyeping a small secret in the north, and the Chinese were involved.

You don't care how clear Mino Heibei actually is, but he has to show confusion.

So this little secret pursued by Nagasaki is definitely worthy of that generous gift. In other words, the shogunate was completely unreliable in this matter, and Mitsubishi could only rely on himself.

"Lord, there must be a Japanese traitor involved in this. Not only do we not know the power of the Chinese, but we also don't know how many Japanese traitors are involved in this matter......"

"You're quite right. Our enemies this time are not only the Chinese, but also the Japanese, like us. Mino said to Hirohiko Kato. Kato-kun, you have more friends in this area, so it's up to you to find out how big the Chinese's actions are and how many Japanese businessmen are involved......

"Hey."

After everyone went out, there was only one inconspicuous bodyguard by Sanye Pingbei's side, and the corners of his mouth curled: "It seems that the imperial court has used a lot of strength this time?" ”

The bodyguard continued to stay indifferently in the corner of the room.

……

Mitsubishi Textile's influence in Japan is really not small, and Mino Pingbei has a lot of friends. Three days later, a very specific list was sent to Mino by Hirohiko Kato. It's just that from the content of the intelligence, it seems that Mitsubishi's situation is a little bad.

Now, Edo's Mitsubishi Boshoku share price is experiencing their first big drop since going public.

Compared to 10 days ago, it has fallen by a whole yen.

But such a slight decline also proves the trust of the Japanese in Mitsubishi Boshoku in another way.

Mino Pingbei's identity is just a chess piece, although the level of secrecy is extremely high, but he is not very clear about the overall situation. He doesn't need to be too clear. It was only now that he finally saw the scale of the Chinese and Japanese businessmen involved.

This time is not so much the 'retaliation action' of the Chinese business organization under Tang Feipeng, but rather a big strangulation of most of the Chinese and Japanese businessmen involved in the textile industry.

"That's a little strange......" Looking at the information sent back by Kato, Mino Heibei was a little puzzled. Are the Japanese that stupid? Don't they know that Mitsubishi has collapsed, and their own lives will continue to be controlled by Chinese businessmen, and they will be sad?

Sanye Pingbei knew that there must be huge interests involved, and Tang Feipeng made huge concessions. But no matter how much he gave in, he was able to bring so many people together, and that was really amazing.

You must know that he initially thought it was just Tang Feipeng's family, but now, good guys, the Sumitomo family and the Yasuda family are involved, and it involves not only cotton fabric weavers, but also cotton cloth stores, all over Japan. "The Yasuda family was the first to add to the trouble, but now they are in the same trench as the Sumitomo family." The change of fate is truly amazing.

Many merchants in this list have fallen into the trap of the Sumitomo family, and the Sumitomo family, as the 'main force' of this operation, was able to endure this kind of 'humiliation', and Adachi Sanada was amazing.

Textiles from China poured into the Japanese market like a tide, the extremely low price did not bring much profit to the Chinese side, but also successfully made Mitsubishi Textile's products backlog and unsalable, what is more terrible is that the purchase price of Japanese cotton remains high, Mie as Japan's main cotton producer, Mitsubishi occupies a very low proportion.

For the Chinese side, it is certainly not very comfortable to dump at such a low price, but they have abundant capital, and some of the losses are shared by a consortium of more than a dozen foreign banks in Japan, and they can fully afford such a price.

However, for the 'weak' Mino Pingbei, things are a little troublesome...

"This time, the timing of the Chinese was very accurate, and it happened to be on the eve of Mitsubishi in Japan to greatly consolidate the market, so that Mitsubishi did not even have a chance to avoid, and it was very ......passive."

The sudden outbreak of the cotton war between China and Japan also attracted the attention of many foreign businessmen in Shanghai.

In Robert's office, a bearded Englishman who had taken his place, after reading the news from Japan, said to Robert and a Taipan named Grant.

"That's right. Mitsubishi has just started the construction of the second phase of the plant, and he is still working on the third phase of the project and the insurance company......" Putting a document back on the table, the Taipan named Grant said lightly touching the tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Mitsubishi shouldn't have much money left in his hands, and if he can't find a solution, I'm afraid he will stop work in a few months......"

The British are very angry at the non-stop rise in Mitsubishi Textile's stock in the past few months, but unfortunately they don't have any open dealings with Japan, and they can't do a piece of the pie.

Robert was not surprised by China's move, and England's textile industry dreamed of beating the Dutch and French textile industries. Now the new textile enterprises of the Japanese have just come out with the slogan of 'driving out the Chinese cloth', which in Robert's eyes is simply his own death.

If the British, facing such a small and weak country at such close proximity, it would not be impossible to give war to themselves.

Just like the last Sino-Japanese war, the Chinese should not make a fuss about the false name of the emperor at all, and should directly overwhelm Edo Bay and force Japan's real ruler, the shogun, to sign the next series of founding treaties.

The Chinese wasted a golden opportunity, they wasted it.

"Now it mainly depends on how long the Japanese can hold out, according to the information we have obtained, Mitsubishi Boshoku's existing remaining funds are about one million yen, and if you save some money, you should be able to hold on for two or three months."

"Mitsubishi has no hope of winning," said Harrison, the current representative of the East India Company in China, shaking his head and looking very dismissive. "However, Mitsubishi has the support of Mitsui Bank, and if Mitsui is willing to give a loan, even if it is supported for half a year, it will be no problem."

"It was a senseless struggle. It's better to throw in the towel and start all over again. ”

The British in China are now waiting for a new start between China and Britain. The envoy from London did not know exactly when he would be able to come to China, but as soon as he arrived, a new page would be opened between China and Britain.

To exchange a desolate, dispossessed New South Wales for the friendship of the Chinese, even if the Kingdom of Great Britain does not get a penny, it is earned.

In the event that the French entered the war, the combined Franco-Spanish fleet would pose a serious threat and pressure to the Royal Navy of Great Britain, and Chinese trade was crucial at this time. (To be continued.) )
