After Mitsui Hiroshi arrived, Yang Yuanzhao began to investigate through the channel of Guò Demei, it is almost impossible for China to get much news about Japan, most of the news is good, which has inspired countless people with lofty ideals to go to Japan to study one after another.

In order to avoid being misled after the mistake, Yang Yuanzhao simply did not use the power of China's side, it is this kind of clumsiness that makes Yang Yuanzhao slightly vigilant, now Baotou has all the things that a government should have, in a sense, there should be some intelligence departments, although scattered intelligence departments, Yang Yuanzhao is not less arranged, such as agriculture, economy, but they are all a separate aspect, or a pat on the brain, arranged things, There is no integration and unification at all, and there is no professional nature, which is enough for China, which is full of sieves, but it is not enough for other countries, even in the field of military and top-secret intelligence.

It seems to be off topic, Germany and the United States under the banner of Germany, set up branches all over the world, led by the United Kingdom, have established branch offices and the like, these from the most basic level, to obtain first-hand information, for the investigation of the situation in these countries is very helpful, but unfortunately Japan is an exception, not that Yang Yuanzhao does not pay attention to Japan, because there are few countries in Japan to operate projects very well, Japan [this has a huge xenophobia, although the country is opened, but based on a special environment, It seized a certain opportunity. It's really turned over, and it's because of history. Except for the United Kingdom, which has developed better in Japan, everything else is average.

Demei also has a branch in Japan. However, the scale is not large, and Harpy's eyes are mainly on Britain, France and the United States, so this branch is not large, but it is enough to obtain some information on the bright side.

After further investigation and summarization, the Japanese branch telegraphed some of the information, which showed the general composition of the Mitsui chaebol, compared with other logging that had been developed, such as Sumitomo. Mitsui began to get involved in the financial sector, but in recent years, the best development, but also the fastest, that is, the light industry of cotton textiles, Mitsui's Mitsui Property, occupies an important part of Japan's cotton textile, almost half of the share, and even began to actively open yarn factories in China. Shanghai Cotton Textile Co., Ltd., as well as some investments in Northeast China and Qingdao, have allowed Mitsui Property to reach 50,000 cotton ingots in China alone.

Don't underestimate this number, before there is no Baotou. The total number of cotton ingots in China is not high, after all, production is in the hands of the great powers, and they do not want China and Japan to develop. To get these, you need a lot of foreign exchange and capital. And Baotou is an alternative, all-in-one machine and foreign affairs 20 years of development of the worker team. In addition, Yang Yuanzhao's vision of later generations, actually created a cotton textile miracle in Baotou, and even expanded outward, in principle, the cotton ingots of this era are really not too difficult, after solving the problem of power and overall design, after the later generations accidentally saw the layout of several cotton spindles, that is, Baotou surpassed the cotton spindles of this era, with Baotou's strong processing capacity, it was very light to produce a large number, so that the total number of cotton ingots in China, showing an explosive growth model.

The information came, in all fairness, whether it is Mitsui Hiroshi, or his father Mitsui Harukawa, are quite outstanding talents, Mitsui Harukawa is 50 years old this year, entered the family business at the age of 18, has made countless meritorious contributions, and has accumulated merit to sit in the position of chairman of Mitsui Property, and even because of the outstanding development of more than a year, he has become the director of the Mitsui chaebol, which can be said to be the ultimate development from Mitsui's external system, as for Mitsui Hiroshi, he is even more outstanding, graduated from Harvard Business School at the age of 22, and took over Mitsui Property's cotton textile business, With the relationship and ability with the United States, Mitsui Boshoku has achieved tremendous development, and in one year, it has increased by 500,000 spindles of cotton ingots, which has made great contributions to his father's upgrading.

Yang Yuanzhao carefully observed the existing information, especially Mitsui Hiroshi's, at this time, a sudden situation occurred, in several Japanese cloth shops outside the concession, there was a smashing incident, the Japanese ronin who had been prepared for a long time, severely beat dozens of citizens who participated in the smashing, although there were no dead people, but a few were seriously injured.

This is a sudden phenomenon, although from the beginning of Mitsui Hong's action, Yang Yuanzhao asked Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen to restrain the green and red gangs, of course, the Japanese, the green and red gangs can not be provoked, but the continuous rise in cloth prices, or the entire Shanghai citizens are panicked, especially the attitude of the Japanese businessmen, further intensified the contradiction, when there was a quarrel, the smashing began, the nearby Japanese ronin seemed to have been prepared, directly rushed up, not only caught a few smashed, but also injured a few of the head, but also detained people, Claim damages.

"Use money to get people out!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "Remember to send it to Dehua Hospital, the medical conditions there are better!" ”

Dehua Hospital is a joint construction of Germany and the United States and Baotou, mainly used to train doctors and bring in some foreign experts, compared to Baotou, which is full of secrets, Shanghai, a bustling city, is easier to attract some better doctors.

With a snap, a young man in his 20s pinched off the pen in his hand, stood up, and accused: "Mr. Yang, I didn't expect you to be afraid of the Japanese!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, since he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce and began to dominate Baotou, few people spoke to him so directly, and took a closer look, he was a staff officer from the army, his name was Zhang Jiayun, he came from the Northeast, he was originally a factory worker, and later joined the new army, and he was better in all aspects, especially he still has a certain degree of education, graduated from Western-style middle school, and he has been trained to become a staff officer, because of his solid foundation, especially in terms of numbers, he is more sensitive, mainly to help summarize information.

"What, do you have a grudge against the Japanese?"

"How many territories in the Northeast are occupied by the Japanese!" Zhang Jiayun said with a slight impulse.

Yang Yuanzhao was stunned, in this era, there are not many people who really oppose the Japanese, although the Japanese have a bad reputation in China, and then I thought that Zhang Jiayun is a native of Northeast China, but he graduated from Western-style middle school but went to Baotou, obviously he should be a victim of the Russo-Japanese War, and only in the areas controlled by Japan will such a person be created, sigh and say: "It seems that you are dissatisfied with me because of the handling of this matter!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jiayun said a little stubbornly.

"Sometimes, what you see is not all, don't say anything superfluous, the facts will prove that you are now a soldier, not a civilian, what is the primary duty of a soldier?"

"Obey orders!" Zhang Jiayun was stunned for a moment, and said as if squeezed out of his teeth.

"And now?"

Yang Yuanzhao's unkindness made Zhang Jiayun unable to continue, he sat down under Yang Yuanzhao's gaze, but his face was still depressed, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and continued to command: "Do what I say!" ”

Out of the staff room, the only Yang Shizhou who has a certain understanding of the current overall situation, that is, the current head of the Yang family in Shanghai, he knows most of Yang Yuanzhao's actions, especially for the Japanese side, it is obvious that Yang Yuanzhao also has no good impression of Japan.

"Why don't you tell him the truth!"

"Don't want it for the time being, Japan, it's just a clown jumping off the beam, let the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang restrain the people as much as possible!"

"However, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, clothing is the first priority!" Yang Shizhou said with some embarrassment.

Yang Yuanzhao knows this very well, the three-fold increase, not to mention that for the people of Shanghai, even if they get Baotou, no one will buy it, and even the population in Baotou with workers as the core may cause even greater riots.

Looking at Yang Yuanzhao's face, Yang Shizhou tried to say, "Or, let's put things away!" ”

"No, they haven't moved, and even in the world situation, the bulls have the absolute upper hand, and they can't move lightly, even if they are only facing 1 million cloths!" Yang Yuanzhao frowned, because the riots caused by the cloth were definitely not what he wanted to see, but at this moment, the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, not only in Shanghai, but also in most of the big cities in China, if it couldn't stand it here, there would be no room for fighting back in other places, although he knew that Japan was just a rafter, and the powers had not yet made a move, so Yang Yuanzhao could not do it.

Yang Yuanzhao is brows were furrowed, Yang Shizhou was also thinking hard, how to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, suddenly, Yang Shizhou's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "There is!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao is not concerned about this problem, but there is no good solution, although it is said that the cotton cloth in Baotou is rushed out, it may not be defeated, but I don't know what kind of loss there will be, but if this problem can be solved well, it is indeed what he thinks, grabbed Yang Shizhou, and asked: "What is the solution!" ”

"Just get a batch of homespun cloth!"

Homespun cloth, Yang Yuanzhao's eyes lit up, after Baotou's cotton textile industry entered the right track, homespun cloth has completely left the market, not only inefficient, the cost is much higher than woven cloth, but now, it is indeed a good choice, in fact, in Japan began to buy local cotton cloth, began to control zhì Shanghai, homespun cloth also sporadically inflow, but the scale is not large, now if the channels of Jin merchants and Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants, with homespun cloth to replace, not too much, even if it is tens of thousands of horses, it is enough to reverse the situation.

"Thank you, I'm going to mobilize!" Yang Yuanzhao showed a knowing smile on his face, but Yang Shizhou shook his head and said, "It's better for me to come!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao slapped his head, it was also a channel, except for the recent merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what other channels can be compared with the current Jin merchants, he said: "It's all handed over to you, at least 200,000 yuan!" (To be continued......) R1292
