Chapter 388: A Dilemma
In the early morning of Shanghai, the thin morning fog shrouded in the early morning of Shanghai, the workers got up early, they took advantage of the mist, entered the various factories, tired, with a dazed, for this piece of land, work has become instinctive, in the business district, began to appear a large number of people who buy goods, since yesterday, the Japanese cotton cloth and British flower cloth price reduction signs, began to appear in the streets and alleys, for the whole of Shanghai, the Western foreign firm, a certain Cheng dù, in Shanghai, strong, In the whole of Shanghai, there are at least 250 or so cloth shops that have begun to sell foreign cloth, and this cloth shop is not under the scope of the Japanese.
Under the signboard of China's foreign cloth, Baotou flower cloth and white cloth have also begun to be listed, most of the merchants, for Baotou cloth have some questions, but there are many shops, will support domestic products, especially the quality of Baotou cloth is excellent, the owner of the cloth shop, for all kinds of cloth situation, very understanding, Baotou cloth is obvious, better quality than British products, the most important thing is that the price is cheap.
Now, the price of British flower cloth is 25.5, the price of ordinary white cloth is 14.5 yuan, which has been reduced to the integer mark, Baotou cloth, 12 yuan, Japanese white cloth 18.5 yuan, Baotou cotton cloth price 10.3 yuan, which is for unprinted and dyed cloth.
This clear price represents the confrontation and compromise between the two major forces, in a sense, the sales of the great powers are not accurate, which is also the fundamental reason why Yang Yuan's "Zhao does not care, but he did not expect that these concentrated suppression of cotton cloth in Baotou.
The main thing is the price war, and they try to reduce the price as much as possible after determining the basic cost of Baotou. The fact that with the 2uqude three-way car thorough short film.
Literally, the difference between 3.5 gross and 1.7 cents. For the budget-conscious Shanghainese, it's already a lot. Although there are less than 350 shops selling Baotou cloth, this is still the result of continuous struggle, but it is basically all over the entire business district of Shanghai, and the sales of foreign cloth have been directly impacted, which is also before. The root cause of not getting sales and sales properly.
Now in China, even if it is a foreign company, there is not enough market research, but Baotou here, basically for the sales of each cloth store, have a certain understanding, 350 cloth shops, the average sales volume of each cloth store, are more than 100 horses. In one day, 35,000 horses were sold, this figure proves the strength of the entire Baotou. For this battle, the entire Baotou concentrated almost 50 million pieces of various fabrics, even if it was sold according to this. Enough to last for 125 days, after 125 days. The output of Baotou's cloth will definitely rise a notch. When the time comes, there will be absolutely no problem in supporting it.
The Japanese cloth has not been sold, from the quality, the Japanese white cloth is not only compared with the British standard, the difference is relatively large, but for the Baotou cloth, the difference is more obvious, the Baotou cloth, almost the whole world standard.
Almost on the third day, the news of a sharp drop in sales, especially when Baotou was reduced to about 12 yuan, Britain and the United States were even more sales, and this news spread to the foreign bank, and another day later, the merchants of the four countries gathered together.
The first to speak, not Japan, which suffered a lot of losses, but the United Kingdom, which led this operation, in his thoughts, with the help of price advantages, to obtain a lot of profits, at the very least, to sell a little more cotton cloth, unfortunately, contrary to expectations, the price war has begun, it seems, this so-called Baotou, is in the arms of the four countries, Baotou wants to fight a price war with us, others, may be afraid, but the price war, not afraid at all.
"Okay, next, what are we going to do, just cut the price!" Mitsui questioned because they had always said that changes in public transportation would not affect anyone else.
"This time, we're cutting the price by one dollar!" William, the representative of the British Jardine Matheson & Co., said lightly that the price of flower cloth has been reduced to 21 yuan, which is not small, but it is still within the range of the British economy, but if the price of cotton cloth is also reduced by one yuan, it will directly hit back outside the range of Japan's affordability, which is unacceptable to Japan.
Mitsui Hiroshi looked at William and the others, as far as their hearts were concerned, they saw clearly the purpose of William and the others, but above the Cheng dù, Amen, who had already boarded the boat, had no choice, muttered for a while, and said, "Let's reduce it to 10 yuan." ”
Japan's position structure, doomed to Japan's loss, 10 yuan this price, relative to this, Japan's purchase cost, is really not low Japan at present, the purchase of cotton price, at 40 pounds per bag, now, most of the products ordered by Japan, has been in place, 200,000 tons, the price of more than 40 pounds, converted into the price of about 14 pounds of a horse, the cost of cotton itself, in about 14 yuan, not to mention the impact of sales, even if it is its own price, it is not dominant.
It is true that compared with the number of 1 million to 100,000, 10 yuan, this range is not small, and from 10.91 in this case, it is equivalent to a lot of reduction. This is close to Japan's profit point, only more than 5 cents of profit, is worthy of Japan's large-scale transportation of so many grey fabrics, now it seems, not even this number jù, which also proves from the side, Japan is eyeing China's market.
Mitsui Hiroshi faintly felt something, but now Japan is in this situation, and they can't allow them to tear their faces with Britain and the United States and other powers, so they have to continue to wait, this waiting process, did not last much, the face of the Japanese, began to get involved, and the cotton futures market, although there is a certain decline, overall, the decline is not large.
The core area of Shanghai Cotton Textile Co., Ltd., Mitsui Hiroshi, couldn't help but say: "This time, I let them wrap their heads, and they can't sell a little bit of cloth anymore." ”
The price has been reduced again, and for the whole Baotou, such a price has not even reached the windfall point of Japan and the United Kingdom.
"Why don't we let them sell it for a few days?"
"Why do you want to sell it, we will fight it directly, the flower cloth will be reduced by one yuan, and the cotton cloth will be reduced by 5 cents." William said, in fact, he is also very strange, why Baotou can still sell cloth under the situation of tight blockade, is it possible, in the past year, it has been prepared.
William couldn't tell the difference, for Baotou, for the idea of Baotou cotton textile factory, although it was close at hand, but Yang Yuanzhao heard the vast and lonely feelings from his tone.
For a whole afternoon, Yang Yuanzhao was thinking about the final price, and did not let others know, and even after the price was reduced to a certain extent, the price was reduced.
Baotou here, Yang Yuanzhao even has leisure to visit other cotton textile enterprises, these enterprises are in the vicinity of Shanghai, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, for the arrival of Yang Yuanzhao, very welcome, production and systematization, this is the problem that these factories need to solve urgently, food and housing, these are the two most obvious, but also the most difficult to solve things.
Yang Yuanzhao is very familiar with machinery, plus some of the numbers given by Harpy, he knows very well, whether it is the British or the Japanese, their profit point, in that place, plus shipping, plus some labor costs, the profit of the store, cotton cloth 10 yuan, is already on the verge of loss, as for the flower cloth 15, 5, even more so, so, they directly knocked down their loss point, above this price, the flower cloth still has a profit of 30, as for the cotton cloth, basically, There is also a profit of 20, which is already a relatively large profit for ordinary business, although it is still slightly worse than the initial profit.
As if it was a big war, the entire southeast coast, all the open cities, including some developed small counties, foreign cotton cloth began to unify the distribution, the price, flower cloth, from the previous 13 yuan a horse, reduced to 12.5 yuan, ordinary white cloth, the price from 10.91, reduced to 9.86, the range is very amazing.
Originally, Baotou's flower cloth and cotton cloth are based on the price of foreign cloth, the flower cloth will be lower than the British flower cloth, the price is 3 cents lower, the cotton cloth is about three cents, they all of a sudden, the flower cloth has been reduced by 3 cents, and the cotton cloth has been reduced a lot, this price, for the cloth, the range is very large.
Yang Yuanzhao has long been aware of the cost of various places, although the other party's reaction today was slightly beyond his expectations, but the whole was still under control.
"It's on, let's fight." British and American enterprises, as far as cloth is concerned, can mobilize a lot of cloth, but in a sense, Baotou is more, using advanced cotton textile machines, from the efficiency and concise performance, Baotou's these machines, than their previous bidding machines, I don't know how much to improve, Yang Yuanzhao thought for a while, or gave up the jump
The foreign bank has not gone through a day, and it has once again harvested unsalable, especially this time, the discerning people have seen that this is already a large-scale price war, bought in advance, and now regret it, the price of cloth has been reduced to such a process, which makes everyone unimaginable, Baotou cotton mill, actually with Japan and Britain foreign companies, directly on, where did such a tough guy come out.
Baotou's actions made the British and Japanese businessmen directly a little speechless, they themselves were in order to take Baotou into an army, but they didn't expect that they would fall into such a situation, whether to reduce the price, how much to reduce the price, this is a question.
