"Boss ......"

Nagasaki, in front of the office building of Mitsubishi Textile Company, saw the figure of Mino Heibei appear in the office, and the sales manager Hirohiko Kato hurriedly greeted him.

"Kato, what's going on again?" The tone is so urgent.

"Chairman, that's the case......" Hirohiko Kato hurriedly explained the matter.

In a word, the enemies of Mitsubishi Boshoku Company have started a new round of strangulation against them. The brief battle of the previous summer seemed to be still in sight, and the Sumitomo family was back in momentum.

Winter is coming, and thick cotton cloth and cotton clothing have begun to be marketed. Hirohiko Kato was very puzzled, because he couldn't think of any opportunity for Mitsubishi, but he knew better that Mitsubishi Textile's enemies were not easy people, and if they suddenly went to war, they must have smelled a favorable opportunity.

Sanye Pingbei's face turned serious, he received a notice from Tang Feipeng three days ago, he, the Dutch actually mixed with the French, it was too shocking? In this way, all of Japan's foreign cotton is controlled by China.

Because most of the cotton that the Dutch resold to Japan during these days was bought by the Dutch from the British, and then the British shipped it from India. But now that the Dutch are at odds with the British, the British will naturally no longer sell Dutch cotton, and even the British will block the Dutch's route back to Europe.

And Japan is closed off from the rest of the country, and now apart from the Chinese, only the Dutch and Koreans can trade with Japan, and without the disturbance of the Dutch, the Koreans will of course listen to the Chinese. Of course, this is a big business opportunity, and all the cotton that is in short supply in Japan is held in the palm of China's hand. The Chinese say that the price will increase, then the price will be raised. As long as the Sumitomo family can collect more low-quality cotton made in Japan, they will definitely be able to push Mitsubishi Boshoku to a dead end.

It's just that only a few people in Japan know about this kind of news.

Three days ago, Wang Beiping couldn't help but gasp when he heard the news, the Dutch and the French were mixed up and abandoned the British, which was too nonsense. Moreover, the Dutch still listened to China so much that they insisted on the absolute blockade of Japan by this news......

Now Mitsubishi is facing a double strangulation of raw materials and markets, in addition to the continuous increase in the price of cotton, the price of cloth is also greatly reduced. If he really was a native of Japan, he would have to be killed if he didn't know anything about the Dutch.

"It's this set of ...... again" After listening to Hirohiko Kato's narration, Wang Beiping frowned as if he had just knew.

In his heart, he steadily calculated the upcoming harvest period.

"Sumitomo and they have Chinese behind their backs, which means that this strangulation is Chinese allowed......" After a moment of silence, Wang Pingbei said to Ryoichi Sato, the deputy general manager who rushed to hear the news. You go to Shanghai and ask what's going on. ”

Mitsubishi Textile doesn't look like it is in a situation with Chinese cloth merchants, but their biggest backer, in addition to the Mitsui family in Japan, is the trade bank in Shanghai.

"Hey." Ryo Sato bowed his head one by one.

After Ryoichi Sato turned around and left, Wang Pingbei said to Hirohiko Kato. "You also go out and investigate to see how big our enemy's movements are, and how many Japanese merchants are involved......

"Hey." Hirohiko Kato jerked his head down.

Then Wang Pingbei gradually arranged some actions, and waited until everyone went out before smiling at Mito Kogoro. "It seems that this time I can make a big gain...... "First of all, the stock market keeps falling, and the stock price plummets, which will cause the Japanese to cry and shout to abandon the Mitsubishi shares in their hands, and Wang Pingbei will be able to buy back a lot of Mitsubishi shares at the price of cabbage, as long as it is not so obvious, it will not be discovered by others."

Then he only needs to expose the full support of the trade bank for Mitsubishi, and the stocks that have fallen to the bottom can rush back to the peak. In this fall, countless fortunes have been pocketed by Tang Feipeng. Those yen don't even need to be handed over, and they can be turned into a loan from a trade bank to Mitsubishi in Japan.

After such a play, Mino Heibei's reputation in Japan can continue to increase a lot.

Haha, now he and his company Mitsubishi are like a symbol of Japan's modern industry.

……

Ryoichi Sato rushed to Shanghai quickly, but in this day and age, it all takes time. The strangulation war in the market has begun.

Even if many ordinary people in Japan know that their purchase of those cheap cloths is a great disadvantage to Mitsubishi Boshoku, the leader of Japan's modern industry, the Japanese people have once again broken out in support of domestic products, but it is useless. Compared with domestic and Chinese products, the Japanese people pay more attention to the thicker and cheaper cloth there.

Mitsubishi Boshoku already has some experience with this kind of thing. The tactic of dumping at low prices is very difficult to deal with, and if political forces do not intervene, they can basically wait until one of them can no longer hold on.

In the past, both sides have played this sport more than once in Japan.

"We are a collection of more than a dozen foreign firms, and we have the strong support of Mr. Tang behind us, and we compete by dumping at low prices, and the number spread on each one is not very large, and even insisting on it for three or five months, a year and a half, it is not a big problem for us......" Sitting in the conference room of the Nagasaki branch of the Sumitomo Chamber of Commerce, Anda Aida said to all the Nissho present with a smile on his face.

Hearing Yasuda's words, the others also nodded with a smile.

Just like Yasuda said, if it is only one foreign company or several foreign companies, the price to pay for the production and marketing of raw materials and commodities for Mitsubishi Boshoku, an enterprise that has established a brand and a high reputation, is undoubtedly huge. But if more than a dozen foreign companies work together, there is a behemoth like Tang Feipeng behind them, and this price is shared among each Japanese businessman, and it is not so unbearable.

Even Mitsubishi had the support of the Mitsui family and even the Tokugawa shogunate. But business is more than financial resources, and the appearance of Tang Feipeng put an end to the possibility of the Tokugawa shogunate using barbarism.

If it weren't for that, there would be no one who would want to go crazy with the Sumitomo family.

And another reason why they will accompany the Sumitomo Chamber of Commerce to go crazy is the threat posed by Wang Pingbei.

At present, although the Japanese market is divided into two parts of the world, Chinese goods still occupy an advantage. However, the proportion of homegrown goods is always increasing, and theoretically speaking, as long as Japan has an abundant source of cotton, Japan's homespun production will always increase, and there is no limit. And this year's summer summer sales show that Japanese homespun cloth has accounted for nearly 40% of the market.

Therefore, the textile industry in Japan has developed two different views, one is the anti-China faction led by Mitsubishi Shoku, the view is to squeeze Huabu out of the Japanese market and protect the Japanese textile industry's own local market; On the other hand, the pro-China faction led by Sumitomo is that they will integrate into the Chinese textile industry and exchange Japanese cloth for the opportunity to go out of Japan at the cost of opening up the Japanese market. They believe that with the development of time, China's land area and sphere of influence will become larger and larger, so during this period, only a little overseas market needs to be exposed between the fingers of the Chinese, which is enough to make the Japanese textile industry moisturized.

So the two factions are fighting each other, and the anti-China faction is clearly tending to the bottom in terms of momentum, and the only advantage is Mitsubishi Boshoku's separate large size and prestige in Japan.

Sumitomo will not let Mitsubishi continue to develop at such a high speed, which would squeeze their own living space too much. Mitsubishi Textile can get a large amount of low-interest loans from Mitsui Bank and Trade Bank, and Mino Pingbei is even operating in debt, but as long as their capital chain is not broken, it can continue to roll like this. This model of operation is too risky for most business families, so the Sumitomo family's new textile industry is expanding far less quickly than Mitsubishi. If this continues, sooner or later, Mitsubishi will become a giant that Sumitomo can't catch up with, which the Sumitomo family cannot tolerate.

Mitsubishi, which has been clamoring for a ban on Huafu in Japan, is plagued by the reality that Japan's cotton production is insufficient and of low quality, and much of the cotton they use is imported from the Dutch, Chinese and North Koreans.

Many textile mills on China's eastern coast took cotton directly from the British, but Japan had to go through an additional procedure called 'Dutch', and the difference in cost price doomed the future of Japan's textile industry. Especially after the localization of China's high-quality cotton, Japan's textile industry will not be able to compete with China's textile industry in the Chinese market.

Therefore, it is impossible to counterattack the Chinese market, but it is possible to dominate the Japanese market. Whether it is Japanese or Chinese, their eyes are all focused on the current cloth market in Japan. The Sumitomo family must stop Mitsubishi's expansion!

They have Tang Feipeng, a natural ally. For many Chinese textile foreign trade companies, Japan, which is not large in area and densely populated, is completely like a treasure that has not been excavated at all for China's textile industry.

Tang Feipeng and the Chinese businessmen he represents have great interests in this.

But it was at this time that Mino Heibei and his Mitsubishi Boshoku appeared.

It's disgusting.

It's a real threat!

Wang Pingbei proved with his true performance that he is still very ambitious.

If Mitsubishi Textile is taking its time step by step, it may not be possible to develop and grow in ten or eight years, but the chairman of Mitsubishi does not know how to get the insight of the foreign trade company, and a large amount of loans and mortgages, it is really a second kill Mitsui. Enough money was provided for Mitsubishi's development and growth - Chinese money beat the Chinese. I don't know how much controversy and confusion this fact caused in Japan at the time.

Now the fourth phase of Mitsubishi Textile's project is going to be built, and the fifth phase of the project has entered the planning, which is too fast and fierce. Why did a group of Japanese businessmen represented by the Sumitomo Chamber of Commerce come to Mitsubishi again and again? It is the reality that the same Japanese people do not care at all, and that is because of interests. Tang Feipeng's performance was also to pull out this threatening shoot before Mitsubishi's fledgling, and it was also for the benefit of Hongguoguo.

But even if Mitsubishi threatens the interests of many people, I am afraid that no one will be willing to do so if there is no powerful person to take the lead. After all, if you want to blockade and suppress Mitsubishi, it is not enough to rely on one or a few foreign firms. But Tang Feipeng has this influence, and the Sumitomo family has this influence, and they have attracted more than a dozen high-grade foreign companies......

Cheap Chinese textiles poured into the Japanese market like a tide, and although the extremely low prices did not bring much profit to Japanese businessmen, and even lost money, they also succeeded in making Mitsubishi Textile Factory's products overstock and unsalable.

It is certainly not very comfortable for Japanese businessmen to dump at such a low price, but they are a consortium composed of more than a dozen foreign firms, and they can fully afford such a price.

However, for Mitsubishi, which is weak, things are a little troublesome. On the stock market, the price of Mitsubishi's stock is slipping.

"The Chinese were really right-timed, just when we were in a quarrel with the British, poor Japanese, poor Mitsubishi, they probably didn't know that no more cotton would be transported by the Dutch to Nagasaki in the future. This is our sorrow, it is difficult to imagine that the company will be able to survive this catastrophe, and we are also very passive......"

In Promes' office, an assistant manager named Zott said to Promes after reading the news coming back from Osaka, Edo, Kyoto, and other places.

"Yes, the situation is bad for Mitsubishi, and it's bad for us. Fortunately, the Chinese took over our contract with Mitsubishi, and when the time comes, they will compensate the Japanese in full for us. This leaves us with the possibility of returning to Japan in the future......"

"Hopefully it won't be too long." The Dutch East India Company could not afford much turmoil. Next year is destined to be a year of heavy losses for the company, and if the time continues to the year after next and the year after that, it will be a tragic tragedy.

"So we want a group of spectators right now, and we can only watch the Japanese market surge from afar, and we can't intervene in it at all. According to the information we have obtained, Mitsubishi Boshoku's current funds are about 1 million yen, and if you save some money, you should be able to last for two months. "It doesn't take much money for workers to pay their wages, the most important thing is the payment for goods, the money for cotton and yarn, and the money lost when selling.

"There's no hope for Mitsubishi......" Zot said, shaking his head. With the strength of those Japanese, even if it supports it for half a year, it's no problem, but it's ......"

"If Shanghai's trade banks continue to be willing to protect Mitsubishi, then Japan's situation will become even more brilliant." The Dutch are not surprised by the current situation, but there are many such things in Europe.

There is an old saying: an arms dealer who does not sell arms to his enemies is not a good arms dealer. Similarly, a financial merchant who does not shell out to buy enemy war bonds will not be a good financier.

In the eyes of the Dutch, all this is based on the most basic pursuit of a financial businessman - profit.
