Yang Yuanzhao's voice just fell, hearing his words, everyone's faces changed greatly, the scene from the fierce conversation, directly into the silence of death, all of you here, are practitioners in the cotton textile industry, they know very well, as a raw material, the price of cotton, for them are closely related, yes, if cotton rises one or two percent, because of supply and demand, processing costs and settlement, their profits will grow, some high inventory, and even get the dividend of cotton rise.

However, there is a limit to the rise of anything, if it really rises sharply, what does it mean for them, it is not necessarily a catastrophe, it is definitely not a good thing, cotton cloth is a good necessity of life, but its price has been very stable in the current price range, once the price rises to the people's ability to bear it, the people can choose not to buy, or buy less, relying on the sale of cotton textile mills that recover funds, there will really be a dilemma, It will even break the chain of funds.

The atmosphere of dead silence was finally broken, and a businessman said tentatively: "No, the price of cotton will not rise so outrageously." ”

"Yes, President Yang, don't talk nonsense, how can cotton rise so much, then won't all cotton be planted next year!"

Zhuang Juzheng's casual words made others think deeply, especially Zhang Jingjiang and Zhang Jian, they have always been more related to Baotou and Yang Yuanzhao's actions, respectively, in different channels, I heard that Baotou integrated the entire land of China, with what method of joint production, circled down a considerable amount of land, almost all over the country, could it be that last year, Yang Yuanzhao saw it!

Yang Yuanzhao looked at Zhuang Juzheng calmly and said, "Does Mr. Zhuang know what the price of cotton was last year?" ”

"I know this, it's about 4 cents and 5 pounds,"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, it seems that this Zhuangju has really done market research, and when the cotton came down last year, he estimated that he was tempted to devote himself to the cotton textile industry, and had a deep understanding of this problem, so he joined in.

"Very good, it's 4 cents 5, so what about this year!"

"6 Mao 9!" Zhuang Juzheng still blurted out, as the direct controller of the family's cotton textile factory, he is very clear about the basic price of materials, and even when the cotton is more than 5 cents, he specially purchased a batch of cotton, as a production inventory, so far, it has risen by about 3%.

"Very good, how much has it gone up?"

"More than 4 becomes." A man with strong computing power almost blurted out.

"But if it rises by 4%, it does not mean that it has more than doubled." Zhuang Juzheng changed color slightly, but he still said firmly.

"I have some survey data here, all of which are surveys made by me through overseas relations, in the past three months, the price of spot cotton futures in New York and London has risen continuously, and has hit a new high for several months, but the trading volume is very rare, as a person who understands finance, I conclude that there is a force that is making waves in the field of cotton,"

"You can't be so arbitrary!"

"Why not, have you seen the price of cotton in the past 10 years, in the past 10 years, the price of cotton has shown a slow decline, after all, the output of the whole world, there has not been a large-scale fading and pests and diseases, why is it changing so drastically, and, you have counted, in the past 10 years, the whole of China, how much cotton cloth and veil has been exported, combined, will not exceed 500,000, but only last year and half a year, how much did you export."

Yang Yuanzhao asked so many questions in one breath, which made Zhuang Juzheng a little speechless, but he was not stupid after all, he instantly understood Yang Yuanzhao's purpose, and said a little hard in his mouth: "Maybe it's because our things are good!" ”

After all, Zhang Jian has a good understanding of foreign trade and the cotton textile industry, and he said with a solemn expression: "Yuan Zhao, how sure you are, the other party will do it!" ”

"There is 100 per cent certainty that the Powers have been in this industry for almost a year, and the Powers have invested a lot of money, at least £300 million."

300 million, when these two numbers and units are combined, there will be a huge number, enough for anyone to stop, but not as good as the units behind, the pound sterling is one of the most expensive banknotes in the world, even if it is the dollar, the franc and the mark can not be compared with him, a pound represents 5 dollars, and a dollar is equivalent to 2 silver dollars.

"How much, Yuan Zhao, how much do you say, 300 million pounds?" Zhang Jingjiang's words were almost trembling, and he asked with some inexplicability.

"Yes, 300 million pounds, 1.5 billion US dollars, 3 billion yuan!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.

Yang Yuanzhao calmly reported the number jù, especially in the back, after conversion, the unit formed, so that Zhang Jian and Zhang Jingjiang were dumbfounded, they can be regarded as people who have seen the world, especially Zhang Jingjiang, who lives in Singapore all the year round, it can be said that it is one of the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, and it is an important maritime hub under British control. There is even a feeling of not being able to breathe, what a strong oppression, just hearing about it, it makes people feel as if they are under the weight of a mountain, and they can't move at all.

"Are you sure?"

"That's right, it's been confirmed repeatedly, I knew it through a special channel with the help of the German and American foreign firms!"

Yang Yuanzhao has never concealed his relationship with the German and American foreign firms, in a sense, if he has something to do with the foreign firms of the great powers, he is also a kind of protection, Chinese businessmen, bureaucrats, do not know much about foreign countries, but those here have more or less some understanding of the German and American companies, this is a super large company in Shanghai, mainly dealing in arms and some foreign equipment.

"Control zhì cotton, how will it be?"

"Of course, the world is so big, if you want to control a crop, 300 million is just a basic point, and this is still relying on the influence of Britain and France in their respective fields, so that some major cotton-producing countries are consistent with them, otherwise, the number needed will be more."

The great powers will not access a field for no reason, 300 million, even the world's first Britain, to invest in it, it is very difficult, thinking of everyone here, Zhang Jian suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Yuan Zhao, do you mean that we can't buy imported cotton, our people, how big is the cotton gap?" ”

Zhang Jian figured it out, Zhang Jingjiang also figured it out, and then asked: "Yes, Yuanzhao, you should have sales results there, know how many cotton spindles we have in China now, what is the annual processing capacity, and whether China can digest so much cotton yarn and cotton cloth." ”

"The current number is 72 million ingots, and according to the current 2.5 bales per spindle per year, the annual processing capacity is 180 million bales." Yang Yuanzhao said the number of jù word by word, and the cold language made everyone shudder and breathless.

The processing capacity of Baotou cotton ingot is excellent, generally more than 6 times that of Britain and the United States, even if it is compared to Japan, it is also three or four times the appearance, of course, these are the processing capacity of roving, generally 12-14 such roving, is the focus of Baotou exports, the Chinese market is good, and even some low-end markets in the world, his demand for roving is almost huge, in a total of more than 70 million cotton ingots, more than 90 are coarse sand, after Yang Yuanzhao's large steam engine propulsion, stable dìng power and efficiency, A single spindle produces 2.5 packs per year, which is absolutely the best in the world. Such a processing capacity, combined with a huge number of cotton ingots, can be produced at full capacity, there can be so many, 180 million bales, a bale of 400 pounds, 72 billion pounds, converted into cotton itself, is about 36 million tons.

36 million tons, everyone was stunned, this number jù is enough to overwhelm one qiē, even factory owners who are not familiar with the whole of China and even the world, can know the meaning of this number jù, this is definitely not something that can be done by manpower.

"Is there a market for so many cotton fabrics?"

"From the number of 1900, Britain sold more than 200 million horses in China every year, plus other powers, the total number would exceed 400 million, and most importantly, there were homespun cloth all over the place, and 1 billion was just a minimum number."

"1 billion is not enough, a piece of cloth is about 14-15 pounds." A merchant said with a sigh.

"That's right, in this sense, we are saturated with numbers, but if we dig deeper, there will be about double the increase, but the world is so big, our market is almost unlimited."

No one expected that in the past year, the number of cotton ingots would rise so much, so the huge cotton gap, especially Zhang Jian, he thought of last year's Wuhan Industry Association, he was ready to invest 1 million, but enlarged to millions or even tens of millions, the down payment of three percent, the method of installment payment, so that Baotou won a large number of orders, and therefore, the industry is unimaginable, 72 million cotton ingots, which represents such a huge number.

Other businessmen are the same, they only remember to expand production, but they don't think that the whole demand is limited, blindly expanding, if the things produced can't be sold, it's also a problem, but these are secondary, it is conceivable that since the powers control cotton futures, they will definitely control other fields, really as Yang Yuanzhao said, a big crisis, just like that, was born, Yang Yuanzhao is right, there is really a crisis, it is a big crisis related to each of them.
