Sure enough, immediately after the price of Baotou, the price was reduced by 11.5 and 9.16 yuan. The magnitude of the reduction, relatively speaking, is not very large, it is obvious, has tended to the final cost area, Japan because of the departure of Mitsui Hiroshi, completely withdrew from this market, the successor of Mitsui Sheng, quickly transported the cloth he bought to Japan, Japan's domestic closed market, plus the position of Mitsui Group in Japan, can still recover some investment, as for China's Shanghai market, who loves to come, once cotton, collapsed Mitsui Harukawa and Mitsui Hiroshi, Mitsui Hiroshi also fell, Mitsui Harukawa is one of the descendants of the Mitsui family, and in a few decades, he climbed to the head of Mitsui Property, and by the way, he entered the position of representative director, and he was taken down with such a mistake.

Japan's withdrawal, the British-funded consortium headed by Jardine Matheson, officially stood on the front desk, like Baotou, more than one million cotton cloth, directly distributed to the market, with a cost advantage of the British, directly started the price war, and the magnitude was huge, and even they learned the method of Baotou, pulled up the banner propaganda, and fought to sell as many products as possible.

These news are all public news, even if he didn't deliberately inquire, Yang Yuanzhao also got the sales price of the great powers, and he also knew the methods of the great powers, and even the sales figures.

The sharp decline, the confrontation between the two forces, let the citizens feel something, the price that flew to the sky before, because of the price reduction caused by the blowout-like sales, seems to be a little too anxious, the great powers' sharp price cuts, not only did not stimulate higher sales. On the contrary, sales have shrunk significantly, and in the whole morning, in the Shanghai area, there were less than 1,500 horses, as expected. There are quite a few differences.

"Yuan Zhao, what should we do?" Yang Shizhou looked at Yang Yuanzhao with some concern, he didn't know how much the cost of Baotou was, looking at the price of the cloth, jumping up and down like a roller coaster. To tell the truth, my heart is in my throat.

"Why not reduce the price!"

"And what about the amplitude?" Yang Shizhou asked.

"Compare their magnitude!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.

Yang Shizhou was taken aback, but Yang Yuanzhao didn't explain anymore, and it has been more than 2 years since he entered Baotou. Especially in Baotou, he has created a huge family business, and at the same time, it is the majesty of personal temperament, even if Yang Shizhou is also the head of a party, but he does not dare to say anything more in the project that Yang Yuanzhao has already decided, but Yang Yuanzhao looked at him calmly, and he felt huge pressure.

Citizens of Shanghai. I saw an unforgettable thing for them, the major foreign banks in the morning, just put the price of cotton cloth. Adjusted to 11.5 yuan and 9.16 yuan, the drop was more than expected, but in the afternoon, the local cloth shop had reduced the price to 10.5 yuan and 8.46 yuan. This price is exactly the same as the price lowered by foreign merchants before.

Significant price reductions. It still triggered a boom in sales, although most people are still relatively cautious. Although the price of 8 yuan and 10 yuan is a little more expensive than last year, the price of cotton in the market is also rising.

William they received the news in the evening, he gathered several people together, discussed this matter, some discussion, everyone has already thought that a simple price reduction, I am afraid can not solve the problem, from the opponent's price reduction, the other party's cost, it seems that it is not high, and even they did not find out, where the opponent's cotton, where did it come from.

Huge China, hundreds of thousands of foreigners put in, it is simply sand thrown on the beach, there is no difference at all, without understanding China's national conditions, and even the Oriental way of thinking does not understand, even if Britain turned China into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, but for China's interior, even comprehensive intelligence is not known, that is, Japan, with the help of East Asian races and Oriental thinking, before World War II, investigated countless Chinese intelligence, And then launched a war of aggression.

China has planted a lot of cotton, which foreigners know, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the traditional cotton-producing areas, but how much is planted, especially in the northwest, this land area is very huge, it is not a traditional cotton-producing area, a large number of cotton is planted, and countless yields are increased, which they do not know, if they know, they will definitely not set off such a trend.

"William, do you want to continue to reduce the price?" Fedorov said with some nervousness that although the current price has not entered the cost zone of Russia, the profit has been greatly reduced, which is a big burden for Russia, which is already in some difficulties.

"The price reduction should be reduced to a critical point all at once, to a critical point!"

The critical point, William's words, made Thomas and Fedorov's eyes light up, he somewhat understood William's meaning, grey cloth and muslin cloth, there is a cost, higher than this cost, you can get a considerable profit, but below this price, does not mean that there is a possibility of acquisition, the current international cotton market is in a panic, relatively low prices, there will be a good sales.

The next day, foreign cloth shops, together announced the price, the fine cloth was not reduced, the price of 9.5 yuan, only reduced by about one yuan, but the grey cloth, but suddenly reduced the price of almost 1.5 yuan, 7 yuan, just a little higher than last year, such a price, really attracted a lot of people, an endless stream of buyers, so that a morning, the sales of cotton cloth of foreign foreign companies, reached an astonishing 20,000 horses, has suppressed the rigid demand, in an instant, it was released.

"What should we do, Yuan Zhao, are we going to lower the price, or?" Yang Shizhou said slightly nervously, as a steward of the Yang family, he is only responsible for things in Shanghai, and he doesn't know the cost of Baotou, a large amount of cloth is backlogged here, and it can't generate profits, not to mention, but because of the problem of warehousing, there will be a certain amount of storage costs, which, at present, is not a lot of pressure.

"It's okay, we'll also reduce the price, but it's okay to only reduce 5 cents for each one!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly, with the baptism of the later generations of information development, Yang Yuanzhao knows a lot of knowledge, almost after the Yihe response came out, he saw the other party's purpose, obviously, this price can not be said to be the other party's bottom price, but it is also a similar range, they want to use this method to stimulate him to continue to reduce the price, when the price is reduced to a certain range, they will buy directly.

The cost of Baotou is lower, and even from the Baoken company, the cost is even lower, 14 pounds of cloth is just the cotton itself, and it will not exceed 4.5 yuan, plus the labor cost, the cost of the machine, will not exceed 5 yuan, which is the benefit of large-scale machine production.

However, if the cotton purchase price in other places is higher, just 0.6 yuan price, 14 pounds, at least more than 8 yuan, which enters this range, in this case, can not be cheap in vain, cautious, follow the price reduction, is the best choice.

The price of Baotou came out, the foreign bank there, there was not much reaction, the price of 9.45 yuan high muslin and 6.95 yuan ordinary cotton cloth stopped, for three whole days, did not reduce the price, so that the people around the wait and see understand that the price is decreasing, it is almost impossible, this price can no longer be called high, ushered in a batch of buying climax, the whole Shanghai, the sales of white cloth, crazy increase of 40,000 horses per day, the sales of muslin, also reached 5,000 horses, almost a new high.

At this time, there is no one here in the foreign bank, there is a smile on the face, for them, it is just a blockade, the blockade to the point of hurting people, Britain is also down, the United States has a lot of money, can bear it, the Russians can't sit still, no sales, need to bear more than 500 dollars a day, if this continues, for Russia, very disadvantageous.

William doesn't have a good solution, this price is considered the cost of entering the UK, if it weren't for the sales to Japan, and the income of tens of millions of pounds, he would not dare to reduce the price to this kind of Cheng dù, no matter how much it is reduced, it is equivalent to using the previous income to make up for the current loss, which is definitely not a long-term solution.

After all, Japan is the first to create a 24-hour work system, and the workers are also squeezed hard, but unfortunately this kind of squeezing causes the quality of Japanese cloth to be very bad, some broken needles and short threads, which occur from time to time, which is the result of fatigue, Japan basically, is more than 16 hours, in this case, at the beginning, it can be maintained, and in the later stage, with the aggravation of fatigue, It is normal for the quality to deteriorate.

On the contrary, Baotou here, divided into four shifts, each person is up to 8 hours, an average of 8 hours, can rest to 24 hours, such a rest, enough to rest, 8 hours, you can use all the spirit, concentrate on work, in this case, the quality is much higher than the Japanese white cloth, coupled with the advantages of the machine, the possibility of short-term is very few, quality and strength, a certain amount of dù above, but also occupy the absolute upper hand.

Now that Japan has directly collapsed, and if they are brought up, they cannot be overwhelmed by the momentum of the Chinese, William thought for a long time, and finally held back and said: "Continue to reduce prices, occupy the market with low prices, and completely squeeze out the Chinese."
