"Boss..."

In front of the office building, seeing that Yan Shao and Elano had finally returned, Qiu Boyan, who was in charge of importing and exporting goods, hurriedly greeted him.

Nodding towards Qiu Boyan, Yan Shao walked directly to the office, not saying a word on the way, and waited until he entered the office before speaking. "Old Qiu, what happened?"

"That's the case..."Hearing Yan Shao's inquiry, Qiu Boyan hurriedly explained the matter.

It turned out that not long ago, in the markets of cities along the rivers such as Wuhu and Anqing, a large number of daily cotton yarn and cotton cloth suddenly appeared, and the price was one piece lower than that produced by Wuhu textile factory. In addition, there was also news from Nantong that some Japanese businessmen deliberately raised the purchase price of cotton, resulting in them having to raise the price when they bought cotton from cotton farmers...

At this time, it is not 10 years later, if there is a '21st article' exposed, maybe there will be cotton farmers and people who will stand up to boycott Japanese merchants and Japanese goods, but now...

As a result, the cotton farmers in Nantong sold their cotton to the Japanese, and some cities in Anhui were busy buying Japanese goods, and the cotton yarn and cotton cloth produced by the textile factories suddenly became overstocked when no one cared about them.

"Is it dumping at a low price..."After listening to Qiu Boyan's narration, Yan Shao frowned.

This kind of thing is already a vicious competition, and it is easy to solve it, as long as the government issues a ban. The problem is that the government at this time is afraid of the ocean, even if it is only Dongyang, even if Chengxun receives a lot of benefits from Yan Shao, it is probably impossible for him to show up to help.

In other words, the government is completely unreliable in this matter, and can only rely on itself.

"The Japanese are all concentrated in Shanghai..."After a moment of silence, Yan Shao said to Li Liang, who rushed over after hearing the news. You go and send a telegram to Shanghai and ask what is going on. ”

"Understood."

After Li Liang turned around and left, Yan Shao said to Qiu Boyan. "You go out and find out how big the Japanese are and how many Japanese businessmen are involved..."

"I'm going..."

Then Yan Shao arranged it step by step, and waited until everyone had gone out before smiling at Elano and the others. "It seems that the Japanese want to take revenge for what happened last time..."

The thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and Elano gave him a blank look. "That's expected, isn't it..."

————————————————————

After returning to China for such a long time, Yan Shao has made some friends and has some connections in Shanghai. So the people in the Shanghai office quickly sent a telegram back to Yan Shao, but the contents of the telegram seemed to be a little bad.

This time it was not so much Mitsui's own retaliation as it was the participation of all Japanese businessmen related to the textile industry in Shanghai, which was very large-scale.

"This is a little strange..."Looking at the information sent back from Shanghai, Yan Shao was a little puzzled. I seemed to have only one Mitsui company in Shanghai, so why did they also get involved..."If it is said that they have a very good relationship with Mitsui & Co., Yan Shaozhi can understand it, but the problem is that almost all the Japanese businessmen involved this time have fallen into the trap of Mitsui & Co., and it is impossible for Yamamoto to cooperate with them. "Could it be that Yamamoto guy is actually a shaker?"

"The people in Shanghai are still investigating this, but I'm afraid there won't be any useful information that will be transmitted back in a short period of time..." Li Liang, who had already returned from the telegraph office, said, his face not very good-looking.

He already has some experience, and he knows very well that the tactic of dumping at low prices is very difficult to deal with, and if the government does not intervene, he can basically only wait until one of them can no longer hold on.

If there is only one Mitsui Textile Factory this time, it may not be nothing, although the Mitsui Merchant has a big business, and it is not so easy to use this method to bring down Yan Shao's Wuhu Textile Factory. But now there are at least 20 Japanese businessmen involved, and there is no need to worry about funds in a short period of time, so the trouble now is Yan Shao...

In fact, this is also the reason why Jotaro Yamamoto will call other Japanese businessmen in the Shanghai concession as well, if there is only Mitsui & Co., even if he can defeat Yan Shao, the price paid in the end will outweigh the losses. Although Yamamoto hated Yan Shao very much, he didn't do it for personal grudges.

But if other Japanese businessmen in Shanghai were involved, the problem would be much simpler.

"More than 20 foreign firms, even if they compete by dumping at low prices, the number spread on each one is not very large, and even if it lasts for a year and a half, it is not a big problem for us..."

Hearing Yamamoto's words, everyone else nodded with a smile.

As Yamamoto said, if it is only one foreign company or several foreign companies, the price to pay for dumping goods in a province of China is undoubtedly very great. But if it is more than 20 foreign companies, this price is shared among each Japanese businessman, and it is not so unbearable.

If it weren't for that, there would be no one who would want to go crazy with Yamamoto.

And another reason why they will accompany Mitsui to go crazy is the threat brought by Yan Shao.

At present, the main markets of Japanese businessmen are still in Shanghai and Jiangsu, and there is not much touch on Anhui, Jiangxi, Lianghu and other provinces in the Yangtze River basin. But that's not to say they don't have the idea, it's just that they don't have the ability to do so yet.

Just like Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory, 40,000 spindles can only meet half of Nantong's output, and the same is true for the Japanese. However, the Japanese are expanding rapidly in Shanghai and Jiangsu, and sooner or later they will want to expand their business into the Yangtze River basin, after all, the entire Yangtze River basin covers many provinces and nearly half of China's population, of which Sichuan alone has a population of more than 50 million, and the British will not give up such a large market, and the Japanese will certainly not either.

Originally, there was a Hubei weaving layout of Zhang Zhidong in the Yangtze River Basin, which could barely be regarded as a bit of a threat, but unfortunately this opponent was the most defeated and collapsed himself. After the weaving layout of Hubei, even in a province as large as Anhui, the first machine textile factory did not appear until the third year after the outbreak of the First World War.

For the Japanese, the vast Yangtze River basin is like a completely untapped treasure, and there is no need to worry about competitors at all.

But at this time, Yan Shao appeared.

If Yan Shao just ran an ordinary textile factory, even if it was the scale of Dasheng Yarn Factory, I am afraid that the Japanese would not be worried. But Yan Shao bought 80,000 spindles from the British at the beginning, and the entire factory was completely completed, even if you count all the foreign yarn factories in China, I am afraid that none of them can compare with Yan Shao's Wuhu textile factory in terms of scale.

And according to the information they got, Yan Shao is still very ambitious.

If the Japanese still take their time as they did in the past, it is unlikely that they will not be able to go deep into the Yangtze River in ten or eight years, and this time is enough for Yan Shao to expand his business to the entire Yangtze River basin, and at that time, even if the Japanese want to play low-price dumping, it will be useless. That's why they want to pull out this threatening shoot before Yan Shao's fledgling wings.

But even if Yan Shao is a threat to the Japanese, if no one takes the lead, I am afraid that no one will be willing to do so. After all, if you want to dump a certain province, it is not enough to rely on one or a few foreign banks, and even if Yan Shao really has his wings, it will be ten or eight years later, and few people will be willing to work hard for so many years later, even if someone is willing, if they want to gather all foreign banks in Shanghai, they also need enough influence, which is completely impossible for ordinary foreign banks...

But who calls Yan Shao and Yamamoto have a grudge, Mitsui is the most influential one in Japan. Even if Yan Shao is not a threat, Yamamoto is thinking about how to take revenge, and now that Yan Shao has posed a threat to Mitsui & Co., he naturally has no possibility of stopping...
