Chapter 382: The Rafters

In fact, there has always been a homespun cloth, Yang Shizhou casually mobilized a part of the resources, with high-grade woven fabrics, one to one to exchange huàn homespun cloth, and soon mobilized a batch of homespun cloth from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui two lakes, about 200,000 horses, in batches into Shanghai and other big city markets, those who have long lacked the supply of cloth shops, almost without apportionment directly out of sale, the price is not low, but much lower than the Japanese cloth, of course, the quantity is limited, each person can only buy 1 horse at most, This also prevents the Japanese from sweeping the goods.

In fact, the appearance of homespun cloth, except for the first day attracted the attention of the Japanese, and then there was not much reaction, after all, homespun cloth and woven cloth, not a grade of things, even if cotton rose, the price of cotton cloth exceeded 30, the price of homespun cloth is difficult to raise to 15 yuan Cheng dù, and even the sales volume is not large.

But Yang Yuanzhao never paid attention to this, because of the emergence of homespun cloth, the rigid needs of the people at the bottom were released, as for being able to afford cotton cloth, the sales volume of less than 400 a day did not affect anything.

In the following days, Yang Yuanzhao has been staring at the actions of the Japanese, but the number of summed up still makes him smile slightly, the actions of the Japanese are not much different from what he expected at the beginning, after buying all the fabrics on the market, he slowly sells them, and even secretly buys them.

Obviously, the Japanese do not have much cloth on hand, and they don't know what benefits Britain, France, Russia and other countries have promised the Japanese, and they actually believe that the price of cotton cloth will rise all the way, which is completely impossible in the world financial field, and perhaps there is a certain crazy factor in the hearts of the Japanese.

For several days in a row, the price of cotton cloth in Shanghai is almost close to 30, and the price of cotton in the international cotton market has also reached three times that of last year, and in the entire northern hemisphere, the season of large-scale cotton harvest has finally arrived. Based in Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao mainly only looks at the price of cotton cloth in big cities, and of course, he will also count the cotton purchases of contracted land nationwide.

Because the contract was signed in advance, the purchase price was determined to be last year's price, of course, Baotou did not really stand on the opposite side of everyone, on the basis of last year, the price of cotton was increased by a part, that is, around 6 cents.

Compared with the current price, this price is not too high, but the vast majority of landlords are still happy to accept this price, because the yield of cotton is too high, the average yield per mu is about 270 catties, this yield is simply unbelievable to everyone, this is not one or two acres of land, nor one or two thousand acres, this is in the country, the output of 1 billion mu, the most important thing is that the cotton yield is also quite not low, 33.5 cotton yield, a certain degree dù, more than the maximum possible for their similarity, so, The average lint output is 90 catties, and the total output of the land under the control of the reclamation company exceeds 90 billion catties, that is, 45 million tons, which can definitely be called amazing.

The landlords are different from ordinary peasants, and they know very well that when the output reaches a certain level, there will definitely be a situation in which the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the same is true for cotton, although it is a necessity of life, but there is no problem with selling so many things in small quantities, and in the case of large sales, the price will fall in line with the flow, and even lower than last year.

Now, Baotou here to take over the sales task, how many come and how much, are 6 cents, which means that the gross income per mu is about 54 yuan, in addition to fertilizers, seeds, and other necessary inputs, the general income is more than 40 yuan, with many cooperative large landowners, thousands of acres or even tens of thousands of acres are not strange, which means a huge income.

A small number of people who forgot their righteousness, saw the high price of cotton, and tore up the agreement, this part of the people, not only was blacklisted by the reclamation company, but also affected themselves, and now Baotou is no longer a remote force in the northwest corner, whether it is a cotton textile group, or the Jin merchants have befriended the forces, will give them a pot to eat.

Cotton has been successfully harvested, various drying factories set in advance, as well as warehousing around the country, basically, are in place, at most half a month, it can be recovered into the warehouse, this is the most important cotton textile factory, especially the cotton textile factory that has gone through the extreme development, needs a large amount of cotton, start operation, without this, everything is virtual.

At this point, this war, Yang Yuanzhao can be regarded as having a stable rear, no matter what, invincible, the most unfortunate, relying on the strong production capacity of Baotou, and the strong cotton ingots of the cotton textile alliance, directly fighting a price war with the powers, based on the future generations, entering the era of electrical appliances in advance, at least, it is also the world's top, such production capacity, coupled with cheap raw materials and labor, can almost show the height of China's cotton textile in later generations, and even this era, There are no high-end brands such as fashion and luxury, everyone is fighting on the lowest end of the cloth, and from this point of view, China is not afraid of anyone.

Since the establishment of the Baotou government at the beginning of the year, in a sense, Yang Yuanzhao has been ready for a while, fortunately, the advance arrangement and all aspects of the preparation, so that Baotou has gained a few months, now, Baotou in all aspects of steady development, not only the number of troops increased slightly, but also experienced the most critical months, at this time, even in the face of the attack of external forces, it will be stable, not just last year, there will be some fluctuations.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Yuanzhao is willing to fight once. On the one hand, Britain and France are too arrogant, and they must be weakened a little, which is conducive to making the war four years later a little longer, and giving China more opportunities and time. The foundation of Baotou has been established, and in this sense, even in the face of foreign interference, even from the Qing court, it is not afraid at all.

The interior of the German-American foreign firm, the highest upstairs, through the guò cable telegraph, Yang Yuanzhao can communicate with Germany and the United States all over the world, and even the main battlefield London and New York, Paris, there are at least 3 groups of people where, 24 hours uninterrupted, not only the futures market, other related markets, but also the stock market, is also quite concerned, the whole world finance is a linkage of the whole, any one aspect of fluctuations, will affect other aspects.

The price of cotton did not rise much, after the price of each bale reached the highest price of 46.2 pounds, for a whole week, it was sideways, and the shipments were gradually increasing, some countries and businessmen who realized it later, began to eat this batch of cotton, the daily amount is not large, but it is constantly increasing, and even China, there are sporadic cotton appearances, most of them, have been eaten by Mitsui, obviously, the other party's purpose is very sufficient, according to the concept of speculation, at least three times the price.

Looking at the current situation, Yang Yuanzhao smiled slightly, it seems that this Mitsui is really bold, so rash, he dares to intervene in the world cotton market, more than a silver dollar of high-priced cotton, dare to eat it, do you really think that a large-scale disaster, cotton is more than a pound to one yuan, is it possible to really rise to 3 yuan.

For the general public, even some small countries and banks that have no influence in the world, the price fluctuation of cotton is due to the snow disaster in the United States, forest fires and pests and diseases in South America, of course, Europe, Britain and France, the two largest colonial countries, almost at the same time announced the early warning of pests and diseases, that is, this year's cotton output will be reduced by 6%.

The reduction in production is 6 percent, and it is worldwide, such a reduction in production, all of a sudden stimulated the world cotton market, and suddenly the price exceeded the integer mark of 50 pounds, reaching a historic high, has been hyping for several months of disaster theory, after this news, reached a fixed point, almost all the world's newspapers, are describing this disaster, how pessimistic and pessimistic, and even this year's production reduction, next year's harvest momentum, so that Yang Yuanzhao also sighed a little, it is really a virtue, open your eyes and say nonsense, If it weren't for the channels of Germany and the United States, knowing that most of the main cotton-producing areas have had bumper harvests, maybe Yang Yuanzhao would have believed it.

The most important thing is that even Germany is the same, to be honest, this time the cotton crisis, Germany was put together at the beginning, he didn't know the initial position, that is, Germany has always been relatively closed, they have a traditional agricultural production area, and the population is not much, in this case, even if they make a late move, they have not gained an advantage, but also purchased enough cotton, as well as Yang Yuanzhao's foresight and Harpy's road, and therefore, Harpy's current status in Germany is very high, in many aspects, You can even instruct the German military, just like this time, Yang Yuanzhao came to Shanghai.

Germany is the same, under vested interests, also began to make waves, Britain, France, Germany and Russia, the four major powers plus the United States know, almost the situation can not be reversed at all, and at a high level, these countries began to ship slowly, of course, all the benefits, it is impossible to reach several times, after all, they represent the vast majority of countries, the remaining funds and resources are only a few, the rise of cotton, not the general trend, is easy to be beaten back to the original shape. However, this difference is enough to make many forces make a lot of money.

Not to mention, Japan, in the past year, is 300,000 tons, before the support of 200,000 tons, as well as Japan's greedy acquisition, a full 700,000 tons, this is not before, less than 15 pounds per bag, but more than 30 pounds, or even close to 40 prices, such a price, per ton can get about 100 pounds of profits, just from Japan, it has earned a high profit of about 70 million pounds, not to mention that now, cotton has risen sharply

As for the Chinese market, the great powers see the last feast, and will use one time to obtain high profits, as for the future, Japan can take it, they will take it, they have the same market share, if they can't take it, even if they are added, it is impossible to change much, China seems to use another model, and it has developed to a considerable extent.
