Chapter 133: The Cotton War (Part II)

Everyone in the venue looked at Zhao Lan with angry faces, and only one person was secretly happy in his heart.

Lee Shin-in feels that the weather is so good today! What medicine did this Zhao Lan take wrong today? He was so angry! Now, all the prestige he has saved up in the guild over the years has been ruined!

With a smile on his face, Zhao Lan ignored everyone's angry gaze and looked at Mr. Zhang quietly.

Mr. Zhang looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly. Then he turned his gaze to Lee Shin-in. Everyone in the venue stared at Li Xinren with his gaze at the same time.

Li Xinren felt these burning gazes, and said with a smug smile on his face, "Governor, it's not that we are unwilling to obey the arrangement of the High Governor, it's just"

After turning his head and sweeping his eyes around everyone, he continued, "It's just that everyone has their own factory, if they only sell cloth from the High Overseer, then what do the guys in the factory rely on for food?" I also ask the governor to be considerate of me and wait. ”

Everyone echoed in unison, "That's what Chairman Lee said." ”

"If you can't work, what can you do to support the guys!"

"That's it, that's it."

"Please also ask the High Overseer to be considerate of me and other small people."

Mr. Zhang sat quietly in his chair and listened to everyone's complaints. He chuckled lightly, but didn't speak, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. I thought to myself, "When I'm a fool?" You still wear open crotch pants when I'm doing business! Most of the cotton cloth in the country is in your hands, and there is at least a profit in a corner and a foot, what do you want! A bunch of insatiable guys! ”

After everyone's voices gradually quieted down, Mr. Zhang said slowly, "I'm just helping the High Overseer pass a word." Before six o'clock tonight, those who are willing to help the High Governor will go to the garrison headquarters, and the unwilling High Governor will not force it. ”

After speaking, Mr. Zhang got up and left the venue.

After Mr. Zhang left, Zhao Lan got up with a flat face and said goodbye to everyone. It's just that no one is willing to take care of him, only Li Xinren got up with a spring breeze on his face to send him off.

After Zhao Lan left. Everyone hurriedly gathered around Li Xinren and asked in unison what to do about this? After all, it's the High Overseer, the High Overseer, who is rich enough to rival the country! The mighty High Overseer! Although the mouth is hard, everyone is scared in their hearts!

Looking at the panicked crowd, Li Xinren snorted heavily. got up and returned to the upper seat, looked at the anxious people and said lightly, "What are you panicking about!" The High Overseer is rich, but does he have cloth? Most of the domestic cloth is now in our hands! As for the foreign ones, I haven't received any news that a large amount of cotton cloth has arrived at the port! ”

Everyone felt a little relieved, but some people said with a sad face, "However, the High Overseer Army has a heavy army, and he is still the master of the Demon Capital. We"

Li Xinren interrupted him impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with the High Overseer's heavy army? Could he still send troops to copy our factory? What happened to the High Overseer's control of the Demon Capital? Can he still forcibly close our store? Does he want to be famous? What will the whole country think of him? ”

"The High Overseer sells cloth"

"Let him sell! See how much cloth he can sell! When he sells out, we'll increase the price! Let him be so tall and thick that he has to come to us after he is the most thick! I'm going to go to the Japan Chamber of Commerce in the afternoon! Li Xinren said confidently.

At the Demon Capital Garrison Headquarters, Gao Yang met with Zhao Lan in the living room.

"For what?" After a brief greeting, Gao Yang went straight to the point and asked curiously.

"Because of the Overseer!" Zhao Lan said with a smile on his face.

"Huh? How so? Gao Yang asked strangely.

Zhao Lan's eyes showed a hint of triumph, and he said with a smile on his face, "Lord Overseer, your target should be the Japanese, right?" ”

"How did you know about it?" Gao Yang leaned back, leaned back in his chair and asked softly.

"The Japanese have a large share of the domestic cotton market. If the Overseers wanted to deal with us, they wouldn't have to go through such trouble. The Overseers could only have made such a big move to deal with the Japanese! Zhao Lan said with a smile.

"Well, you're smart and very good-looking. There is a sentence that I didn't let Mr. Zhang say. Whoever comes to me, I'll give him cloth for sevenths of a foot! Gao Yang lit a cigarette and said lightly.

After Zhao Lan heard this, he could no longer hide the joy on his face. Ecstasy in my heart: "I will know the way!" I know the way! At a time when warlords across the country are desperately leviing exorbitant taxes. In order to support the national industry, how could the High Governors, who preferred to be tax-free by a large margin, treat their own people badly!! ”

"Go back and do your job. I couldn't have done all the business. After this time, let's manage the cotton market well. Gao Yang said lightly.

Zhao Lan, who was smiling proudly, met a few acquaintances at the door of the garrison headquarters. They were all guild members.

"Ha Luha, everyone is smart."

"Ha Lu Ha, ashamed, ashamed."

Few people who can do business all the way are fools! What Zhao Lan can think of, others can think of! There are always many smart people, and after the guild meeting ended, a few smart people quietly came to Gaoyang.

After learning that Chairman Lee Shin-hito had gone to the Japan Chamber of Commerce, Gao Yang said expressionlessly, "If you don't die, you won't die!" The road is all on your own, and since you have made a decision, you have to bear the consciousness of the consequences! ”

Hongkou District, Japanese Chamber of Commerce in China.

Gao Yang did not deliberately hide anything, and the Japanese soon got the news. All the major cloth merchants gathered in the Chamber of Commerce to discuss what to do.

"Gao Yang's target must be us! I wonder what you can do? Takahashi, Japan's largest cotton merchant in China, knelt on a tatami mat and asked in a deep voice as he looked around at the audience.

"Takahashi-kun, the most important thing now is how much cloth do we still have on our hands? If there is a price war with Gaoyang, how much should we price? How long can the cloth in China support? Fujiwara Sanshiro, another large cloth merchant sitting on Takahashi's side, answered.

"Well, we have at least 1.3 million cotton cloths in China! If it is mobilized from the country, there will be at least 3 million cotton cloths available! This is already more than the annual cotton cloth production in China! Takahashi Yuzo looked at him and said.

"Well, Takahashi-kun is right. However, has there been any news of the arrival of large quantities of foreign cotton cloth in the port recently? Fujiwara Sanshiro then asked.

Takahashi Yuzo shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "No, the arrival of cotton cloth has always been normal." I wondered where Gaoyang's cloth came from? If he wants to fight a price war, he needs at least more than 200 pieces of cloth. He made such a big move this time. Where did the cloth come from? ”

While the group was discussing, the attendant knocked on the door and came in to report that the Chinese merchant Li Xinren had come to visit. Several Japanese eyes lit up at the same time, and they hurriedly went out and invited Li Xinren in.

Li Xinren, who has lived for so many years and has long been afraid of foreign adults, was dazed by this high-standard treatment. Under the Japanese madly pouring ecstasy soup, he patted his chest and promised to fight against Gao Yang with his Japanese colleagues to compete with the people!

After Li Xinren left with a flushed face, several Japanese businessmen thought disdainfully at the same time, "Idiot! ”

The price war started the next day. Li Xinren and some Chinese businessmen were the first to make a move, declaring war on Gaoyang at the price of nine cents per foot of cloth! Now that there is a rising bird, most of the rest of the Chinese businessmen have chosen to wait and see, and there are really not many like Li Xinren.

Gao Yang, who got the news, just smiled contemptuously. said lightly, "Then it will be reduced to eight points." Soon, Li Xinren's gang also gritted their teeth and lowered the price to eight points!

"What a fool, what are you thinking? Compare money with me? Gao Yang said with a mocking expression.

"Maybe it's really crazy." Gao Feng, who was standing on the side, echoed and said.

"Well, in that case, let's get started." Gao Yang commanded lightly.

"Yes, sir." Gao Feng said loudly.

Previously, Gao Yang acquired 120 tons of industrial silver in the international market through different leather bag companies in modern time and space. After being transported to this time and space, all of them were sent to the Mint Bureau in Nanjing to make nearly five million oceans!

The money has not been moved, and if it is directly put into the market, the only result will be inflation. Because there is no corresponding value of goods!

However, this cotton price war gave Gao Yang a chance to spend the money. Gao Yang used the price of eight cents per foot to buy Li Xinren's cloth. Buy as much as you want!

Nearly 5 million oceans have been put into the market, which will greatly squeeze the living space of banknotes issued by foreign foreign banks!

And this is just the beginning, before launching the cotton war, Gao Yang ordered Fang Nanyu to continue to secretly buy silver in the international market in modern time and space. On the premise of not causing large fluctuations in the price of silver, at least 300 tons!

All this silver is already in place. It is now in full swing in the Mint. Gao Yang was originally intended to be used when the Japanese were doing it. But unexpectedly, Li Xinren and the others jumped out first.

"It's okay, at least the Japanese didn't make the money." Gao Yang thought in his heart.

"Yaga!" Takahashi Yuzo angrily flipped the table. "Gao Yang is too cunning! I actually pulled down the price first, and I was using the money to buy the opponent's cloth! The conscience is greatly broken! ”

Fujiwara Sanshiro, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the angry Takahashi and took a sip from the teacup. Only then did he say lightly, "Takahashi-kun, don't be angry. Fortunately, Li Xinren came forward first, allowing us to see through Gao Yang's tricks. That's a good thing. ”

Gao Yang spent money to buy Li Xinren and their cloth, and in just one day, Li Xinren and others had to close their doors! Because the cloth is sold out! The price of one-eighth of a foot makes them lose to death!

From the purchase of cotton to the processing and production to the sale in the shop. The cost of labor, machinery, wastage, raw materials, transportation, and taxes adds up to at least one-ninth of a foot of cost. They are now selling at eighths of a foot, and that can only be the more they sell, the more they lose!

Li Xinren, who was in a hurry, hurriedly went to his peers to borrow money, but no one refused to see him! And at this time, various suppliers and banks suddenly began to demand him to repay the goods and loans! Li Xinren, who finally understood, had no choice but to ask the Japanese.
