In the stunned expressions of Fedorov and Thomas, William determined the price, which made Thomas and Fedorov both painful, but the current situation, everyone can see, is two huge forces competition, either win or lose, there is no third way to go.

Admitting defeat in the Qing Kingdom, this is impossible, William is indifferent, Fedorov gritted his teeth a little, Thomas thought for a while, and agreed, and the three of them made a decision, and the war with Baotou began.

The next day, after the price of cotton cloth in the concession came out, Yang Yuanzhao fell into contemplation, the price given by the British was very low, which was one yuan lower than his previous price, and the cotton cloth was about 6 yuan. The fine cloth has been reduced to 8.5 yuan Cheng dù, this Cheng dù, even if it was placed last year, is a lower price, after all, this is the price of consumer retail, which will inevitably add a certain cost, so that the wholesale price will be lower, not to the bottom of the retail people, set aside enough profits, can not stimulate the enthusiasm of these people at all, cotton sales will not be possible, even the concession and the British can not.

Follow the price reduction, this is absolutely not good, although he still has a considerable profit, and the price war with the other party, is not the most correct choice, has entered the cost area, obviously, the British goal is not simple, he is very clear in this hurt purpose, and even reduce the price to a certain degree of dù situation, they will also sweep the goods.

Yang Yuanzhao is not afraid to sweep the goods, he has enough output in Baotou, and he can even mobilize the output of the Cotton Textile Association, such a large quantity, the pile is also piled up, but it is meaningless.

Yang Yuanzhao did not rush to adjust the price, did not move, a full three days, the cotton market is one-sided, are almost the same products, why choose you do not choose him, in foreign cloth and Baotou production in the same quality level of the time, at most is a small difference, not to the quality gap between Baotou cloth and Japanese cloth, price, has become the most important basis for choice, has become the focus of people's choice.

In this era, don't say anything patriotic or unpatriotic, hundreds of years of slavery education in the Manchu Qing Dynasty have completely eliminated the common thing of the country, especially in Shanghai, where the concession and the two devils are rampant, each piece of cloth is less than one yuan, which is the inevitable choice of Shanghai housewives, and even some people who bought it before are a little regretful, they knew that the price would be reduced to this Cheng dù, they didn't buy it before, not to mention the earliest one, a few days ago bought, a piece of cloth is almost 2 yuan of the difference, which is for ordinary people, It's hard to accept that I'm genuine.

During this period of time, this kind of killing in the cotton cloth market, the price change is faster than turning the face, simply let the businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang look fascinated, Baotou's strong ability, as well as the decisiveness of the businessmen of the great powers, in this war, there is no doubt that both sides have a very high mobilization ability, the price of killing each other is extremely resolute, itself, still about 30 yuan, the price of fine cloth even exceeds 100 yuan Cheng dù, with the head of the water, it is killed to such a point, I thought that investing in the cotton textile industry, will get a good reward, but such a business war, must be Cheng dù above, or gave them a lesson.

On the one hand, Baotou is the provider of the machine, with a superior channel, which is absolutely strong, on the other hand, Baotou can kill with the powers in the price without falling behind, and it is enough to stand in this position.

Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that the price war with the great powers made the ambitious businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang form such a great influence in their palms, not only dominating the Cotton Textile Association, but even later under the leadership of Baotou, all kinds of light industry products developed, forming a series of light industry alliances, all have considerable influence, and even some inclined to other forces, also began to slowly understand Baotou and become Baotou's hardcore allies.

Jardine Matheson, William frowned, thinking about the situation in front of him, this war, to fight such a Cheng dù, is what he did not expect before, Britain occupies an absolute advantage, a large amount of capital investment, more than half a year ago on the layout, in the international financial market, has achieved quite excellent results, Japan not to say, in Japan, earned hundreds of millions of funds, plus the income of other small countries, close to 50 rate of return, in the operation of large funds, it is definitely good, but this is the least valued, I feel that I may sweep the market all at once, but I hit the head and bleed, and even do not hesitate to lose money to gain the market.

When, China from a British cotton dumping ground, the peak of the year, can even create more than 200 million sales, but now even a few big cities can not hold, is the world changing too fast, yes, the cost of the UK you are lower, but grey cloth and flower cloth, at the current price of 8,5 yuan and 6 yuan, minus part of the operating costs, this price is definitely a loss, even the United Kingdom, with the current sales in Shanghai, the average daily shipment is about 40,000 horses, according to a batch of about 1 yuan loss, It's almost 40,000 silver dollars, that is, 4,000 pounds, whether it's Jardine, Daosheng, or even the American foreign bank, it's all a big ocean bank, and it's a loss, but after a long time, no one can stand it, and a year later, a battleship is almost gone.

"William, what should I do!" Fedorov, who has the most impatient personality, couldn't wait for a long time, and said: "Are they shrinking, or we will raise the price first!" ”

Daosheng is a Russian bank, but Russia is in the financial field, in the business field, in this world, it is nothing at all, the leading cotton, not to mention not making money, first losses, even if it loses thousands of dollars a day, it also makes him extremely painful, looking at the money, just like this, not even making a sound, it really hurts a little.

Although Tsarist Russia is one of the great powers, it has never been a rich lord, the tsars of the past dynasties, mostly save things, build a treasure that must be brilliant, most of them are cheap behind the red Soviet Russia, and even the first war is reluctant to give money, Dao Sheng is sucking the bone marrow of China, issuing a large amount of currency in China, the last one went bankrupt, and the wealth of countless people evaporated.

Thomas's expression was a little better, not as good as Fedorov's, but his eyes still looked at William, as if asking with his eyes how to continue.

William didn't make a decision in his heart, his intuition told him that he couldn't change lightly, he thought for a while, and said, "Look again!" ”

Fedorov and Thomas had disappointed expressions on their faces, watching them lose a lot of money every day, which was a kind of torment, and they couldn't bear it at all.

"Mr. William, Mr. William!" There was a hurried call outside, and a Chinese young man with the head of a traitor in the middle hurriedly ran in, his name was Zhou Zhiyuan, his English name was Mickey, and he was a translator of the foreign company, although he had no experience of studying abroad, but he was proficient in English in Shili Foreign Bank, and he worked in Jardine for 5 years, and he got to the position of the second class.

William glanced at him and said unhappily: "Mickey, why are you in a hurry, don't you see that the guests are here!" “

Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly bowed his head and said to William: "I'm sorry, boss!" ”

"Okay, don't say it again, when something happens, you're so flustered!"

The two next to him have put their ears up, this young man is specifically responsible for staring at the market, needless to say, there must be a reaction from Baotou, Baotou has not reacted all the time, they take it for granted that Baotou has no way to continue, who would have thought that Baotou actually has a back hand, Mickey is so flustered, it is obviously not good news.

"Boss!" The scolding of the head and face did not make the young man feel the slightest dissatisfaction, and said in fluent English: "There is a movement over there, and the muslin and cotton cloth have been removed!" ”

"Withdraw, what did they get?" Fedorov interjected.

"Finished cloth, colored cloth, finished colored cloth!"

"Colored cloth?" William was startled, his face immediately became extremely ugly, colored cloth he knows, it is also one of the important products of the British cotton textile company, but the focus of sales is in Europe, generally European cotton textile mills and printing and dyeing factories, not the same open, is the relationship between strategic partners, of course, the efficiency of printing and dyeing is not high, generally only for the European and American markets, China, occasionally a little amount to test the water, absolutely not much, are as high-end fabrics, reputation.

Compared with the cloth printed and dyed, of course, the white cloth is more attractive than the printed and dyed cloth, because there is one less process, you can wear it when you go back, white, in China, is definitely an unlucky color, it appears as a mourning dress, unless it is poor and can not do it, otherwise, most of them have to be dyed again.

"Are there any samples?" William was vigilant in his heart, but he still asked calmly, no matter what, seeing is believing, this Baotou is really not simple, under such a few tricks, William doesn't dare to underestimate him, as for Japan, which is playing to death, he simply doesn't know how thick the sky is, honestly do his low-end processing, rashly enter the world market, and don't know how to die.

"Yes!"

William secretly praised in his heart, this young man was good, but his mouth said: "Take it quickly!" ”

Fedorov and Thomas glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw some panic, especially Fedorov, Russia has no production of colored cloth, if the future competition is on colored cloth, it means that he is out.

Zhou Zhilong went out, and after a while, seven or eight Indian servants came to the office, these Indians were brought by William from Mumbai, they were all very obedient, and their strength was not small, each of them was holding a few pieces of cloth of different colors, when they saw the color, William was first taken aback in his heart, so beautiful colors.
