Chapter 386: Price Reduction Tactics

New to the cotton, good quality and low price, walk by, don't miss it! The owner of the cloth shop, the propaganda on the pole, let the people around know, there is a cotton cloth on the market recently, to be honest, now the cotton cloth market in Shanghai, is already a very strange state, the demand is every day, but the price, but in the sky, not falling to the ground at all, in the shouts of the bosses, there are still people, willing to walk in, to see what is sold.

The shop did not advertise Baotou cotton cloth, and Yang Yuanzhao did not intend to hide it from the great powers, after all, the world can provide these cotton cloths for a limited time, but as long as it can be hidden, it will be concealed for as long as possible, after all, there is still Japan as an opponent.

Baotou's cotton, all of a sudden spread in the whole market, excellent quality, Japan's cotton sales are not good, on the one hand, the price is expensive, but the bigger aspect, is the quality is not good, the United Kingdom and other countries of the cotton quietly entered the market, all of a sudden obtained the daily sales of 700 figures, which is better than Japan.

Baotou's cotton cloth, better quality, after several generations of improvement, Baotou has popularized the textile machinery with electricity as the main power, under the excellent processing capacity and power of Baotou, the efficiency of textiles is far from being comparable to the powers of this era, although Baotou gives a relatively high salary, but several times the production capacity of the powers, or so that the labor cost of Baotou cloth is extremely low, even according to the average price of cotton in the country, the price of cotton cloth in Baotou will not exceed 10 yuan, or even about 8 yuan, All are somewhat quite profitable.

Now, in the market, the price of most cotton cloth is around 30 yuan, and the Japanese one even exceeds 32 yuan. In this case, the price of 27 yuan is still very attractive, especially when the housewives feel the quality of these things in person. It is already the last straw that overwhelms the camel, and the rigid need for cloth has accumulated to a certain extent under the slow accumulation, and the native cloth cannot solve all the problems.

Although in this era, the people at the bottom are still very bitter. But in Shanghai, as long as they are willing to work hard, some people are doing well, especially some gang leaders, some ordinary clerks and clerks of foreign banks. These people have a considerable economic level, cotton cloth can be close to 1,000 horses per day, although it can not be compared with the highest time of 15,000 horses, but it is also a sales volume that cannot be reduced, in the moment when Baotou's cheap products appeared, most people saw the object of choice, although it was not open, crazy buying. On the first day, there were more than 300 pù stores, and the average sales volume per store was 5 horses.

5 pieces of cloth. 10% profit, which can not be said to be a high income for any boss, but the income of about 15 yuan a day is not bad, and it does not cost money to buy or something. It's better to just use the settlement, it's better than looking at it in vain.

The cloth shop here sells well. Relatively speaking, another cloth shop. There is not much business, especially in Japan, the sales of hundreds of horses per day, not much, but it can be regarded as good, has been quite stable, a gross income of 6000 a day, a year, is a few million, this is just a city, more than a dozen large cities in China, down is tens of millions, or even more, Mitsui Hiroshi is also looking forward to the future cotton prices will rise sharply, in order to earn high profits, now the profits are not high, but themselves, about to open the pot.

Mitsui Hiroshi didn't realize the problem at first, and the next three days, it was the same, he found out that something was wrong, asked briefly, and rushed directly to Jardine Matheson (the previous chapter was slightly for him, Lihe is German, Jardine is British, here to correct it, sorry!) )。 William has been waiting for him for a long time, to be honest, unlike Mitsui Hiroshi's hindsight, William knew on the first day that Baotou cloth entered the market, after all, Japan's cloth was affected, but the British-funded cloth was affected even more, Japan is only a few hundred horses a day, and the British capital is twice as much as his, but the price is so high, not to mention 2-3 yuan, even if it is one or two cents, it will attract the attention of Shanghainese. When he couldn't sell it for three days in a row, he began to investigate.

France and Russia are closely following the footsteps of the British, and the United States has not yet noticed the Asian market, and the fluctuations in the cotton market are enough to make them anxious, so that there are very few people in the whole world who can provide so much cotton cloth.

I investigated shipping again, Britain is the world's top shipping giant, even if it can't control the vast majority of shipping, but it is really easy to know what is being transported among shipping companies, Germany, Italy, Greece, Austria-Hungary, these big countries, have not transported cloth to China, which means that it is China itself.

From last year's Wuhan Industry Association, the British found that China has a force, and can even produce excellent looms, arrogant Britain, there is no need to ask, where is this loom produced, there is no need, some genius inventors, found some things that others have not noticed, this is very normal, they keenly found that if these equipment is popular, it will bring a huge cotton gap, which is why there is this so-called cotton crisis.

It hasn't come out before, but now it's coming out, it's rare to endure it for so long, although in William's opinion, at this time, it is the most suitable to directly counterattack, but after thinking about it, he still feels that he will wait for the Japanese to come.

Mitsui Hong came out of the Jardine Matheson with some dizziness, he was a teacher to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that William would shift his goal three times and two times, Baotou, a name he had never heard of, last year Wuhan Quanye Association was very famous, it seems that it is time to investigate, it is difficult to do it, closed and backward China, there are really epoch-making products, even the British applaud.

But no matter what, Jardine's guarantee is in the back, in the next half a year, there will be no trace of cotton, into the Chinese market, this is like a backbone, as long as there is no cotton, in the advanced machine, it is just a bunch of broken copper and iron, a certain amount of dù above, Japan has 200,000 tons of cotton, plus the support of Britain, France and the United States, should be invincible.

Soon, some general information about Baotou appeared on Mitsui Hong's desk, most of them, are the information of Wuhan Industry Association, compare, Baotou in Wuhan Industry Association, take out the cotton textile products, absolutely first-class, even compared with Britain and the United States and other advanced, not much better, the most important thing is the installment initiative, if you know these earlier, Daddy Mitsui Harukawa's plan, at least can expand more than 6 times, the price of Baotou is only half of the United States, plus installments, This is extremely impressive.

Mitsui Hiroshi never thought that Baotou would give him the product, and even be willing to pay him in installments. Strong chagrin occupied Mitsui Hiroshi, indignant for most of the day, Mitsui Hiroshi, or put his mind on the current situation, since Baotou may not have more cotton, in a certain way may be more costly, so it is a good choice to reduce the price to press people.

In the past days, the price was stable, and the daily sales were unsatisfactory, Mitsui Hiroshi felt that he might have to fight a protracted war, but now the sales of Baotou cloth made him discover, perhaps, reducing the price, can attract more people, so that the sales will be greater, and the benefits won will also turn up.

Under Mitsui's instructions, on this day, the price of cloth in the Japanese store pù was reduced by five cents on the basis of the price in Baotou.

The sudden price reduction, although the quality of the Oriental cloth is not as good as Baotou's, but the real five cents, this is definitely not low, even the most astute housewife, it is also a little difficult to choose, the sales of Japanese cloth stores, just after this decision, began to slowly increase.

Not to mention other cities, as far as Shanghai itself is concerned, the information network that is dense to the entire city can allow Yang Yuanzhao to grasp the occurrence of this city, and the news of the Japanese price reduction reached Yang Yuanzhao's ears, Yang Yuanzhao has no accident of deterioration, the powers of this era, even Britain, France and the United States do not have too many novelty things, they can only reduce the price, who will not simply reduce the price.

Enjoy the era of information explosion in later generations, not to mention such simple marketing, even if it is fine, more perfect marketing, he also knows that price reduction is always the biggest and one of the easiest marketing.

Yang Yuanzhao made a decisive decision, the price of cotton cloth was reduced by one yuan, and the price was close to the 25 yuan mark, such a price reduction, of course, stimulated the participation of ordinary people, some fabrics started from not moving, and slowly began to increase sales, from the full-time housewives and aunts around them, began to purchase frantically.

On this day, Baotou's cotton sales increased significantly, from about 1,500 horses to 4,500 horses in one fell swoop, and it has not yet reached the foundation of the high-level before the restoration, 15,000 horses, but almost one-third of the production, or Baotou is strong.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, this time, William did not wait for the Japanese, or Mitsui Hiroshi, the main thing is that he is young and impulsive, how to lay out he has long been confident, with the help of the telegraph office, to launch a message to the whole country, at least in this regard, Yang Yuanzhao is incomparable.

The war about cotton cloth has finally reached a white heat, from the reduction of one yuan and five corners to a little reduction below, and a week later, the price of cotton cloth has gradually approached the integer mark of 20 yuan, this price has approached the cost price of the Japanese, which Mitsui Hiroshi can not accept anyway.
