Chapter 102: Action (6)
"Does that bastard want to talk about it or not!" After walking out of Mitsui Yoshi, Kenichi Mori couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
With the beginning of Kenichi Mori, several other people from foreign companies also complained.
For five months of dumping below cost, most of the foreign companies involved in the operation were devastated, but the benefits promised to them by Yamamoto have never been realized.
When there is no way, these people can only take the initiative to come to the door and ask Yamamoto to fulfill his promise. Of course, now the Wuhu textile factory in Anhui has not collapsed, and the market share of Anhui Province can only be counted on for the time being, but it doesn't matter, Mitsui & Co. also has a large share in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places, in their opinion, Yamamoto can give up this part of the share to them, and when the matter in Anhui is settled, they will return it as it is...
They thought it was very good, but although Yamamoto received them after coming to the door, his attitude on this issue was quite tough, and he had no intention of compromising at all. After a few days, Kenichi Mori's group also became annoyed.
"Mori-kun..."Just as Kenichi Mori was still there annoyed, one of the other group walked over. Since Yamaguchi is not going to talk, we ...... We'll have to give up for the time being..."
"yes," the others nodded. We can't hold on anymore..."
"Butβ" Mori Kenichi was taken aback when he heard that these people were going to give up. If you give up now, wouldn't you give up halfway? "Although Kenichi Mori has been threatening Yamamoto, if he does not give some compensation. They will announce their withdrawal from this operation, but it is really just a threat, after all, they have been doing this for five months. And Kenichi Mori knows very well that if he gives up halfway this time. It is easy to resurrect the Wuhu Textile Factory, which has been driven into a desperate situation in their eyes, and it will not be easy for them to force Yan Shao into a desperate situation by then.
"There's no way...", the man at the head smiled bitterly. We are different from you, your Furuya connoisseur has a great business, and at least we can support it anyway, but our side really can't hold on..."
"That's right, now the shareholders in the foreign bank are complaining that they have lost a lot of money for such an action..."
At this time, Japan's main trade products to China were textiles. This is especially true for smaller foreign firms. After losing money on major trading commodities for five months in a row, these foreign companies also fell into the crisis of running out of funds, and they originally came here with the intention of getting some help from Mitsui & Co. This will support at least for a while longer. But after seeing Yamamoto's tough performance, they could only give up...
Although Mori still wanted to persuade them, after saying this, the people had already nodded at him and said goodbye.
Looking at the backs of these people leaving, Mori Kenichi still wanted to say something. But in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh bitterly.
It didn't take long. Yamamoto in the building also got the news, but he was supposed to be furious, but he didn't make the slightest statement at this time...

In the manor in Wuhu, Katerina, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and long pants, is shaving the stubble on Yan Shao's cheeks with a razor.
Unlike the Wuhu textile mill, which was once in trouble, Gillette is now the largest safety razor company in the United Statesββββββ although it seems that the United States is the only safety razor company.
After a series of advertising campaigns, Gillette's profitability in the United States has also been getting better and better. In '05 alone, by October alone, Gillette had sold more than 50,000 knife holders and at least 400,000 blades. This is not the same as the sales of 51 knife holders and 168 blades in '03.
According to Gillette's estimates, Gillette's profit will reach more than $50,000 a year in 05. I believe that it will not take long to earn back all the $150,000 spent on the acquisition of Gillette, which is also a very successful investment for Yan Shao.
However, although Gillette has become the world's largest safety razor company (in fact, there is only one in the world), Yan Shao still likes to use a straight-handled razor, even if it is dangerous and difficult to use, but after all, he can enjoy a lot of benefits.
By the way, compared to Gillette, Coca-Cola's profitability is significantly better, and it is estimated that Coca-Cola's profit in 05 may even reach $200,000.
After the growth of the two companies was gratifying, Yan Shao also began to consider whether to open these two companies to China. But for Yan Shao, the most important thing at the moment is the Chinese side.
ββ¦β¦ The news just came from Shanghai, there seems to be infighting on the Japanese side, and now several foreign companies have announced their withdrawal from this dumping, and some foreign companies are waiting and seeing, but there seem to be signs of withdrawing, in addition..."After scraping off the most stubble on Yan Shao's right cheek, Caterina said lightly. "The news from Narita Shigeru's side, it seems that the Shanghai side has discovered his deal with us, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and the other side is still holding its ground until now..."
Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao said softly after raising his chin. "Did you already notice it, I thought they would have noticed it earlier..."It is not clear that it was Kosuke Yamaguchi and Yamamoto himself who bought him so much time, Yan Shao sneered, but presumably these two people could not run in front of him to show off their merits.
"So what now?" Placing the magazine she was reading on her long overlapping legs, Elano looked up. "Do you want to continue?"
"Now that they've been discovered, there's no need to continue." After the last bit of stubble was scraped off, Yan Shao wiped his face with a towel. "And haven't you always wanted to open the garment factory, and you can't be made to wait too long..."
In any case, since the Japanese have found out, there is naturally no need to hide it.
And after getting 50 million US dollars, although Yan Shao had already used almost 20 million US dollars, he still had 30 million in his hands. This money is enough for Yan Shao to do many things, many things he wanted to do in the first place.
"First of all, let's transfer that kid from Li Yin first..."Yan Shao touched his chin and said softly. Speaking of which, I haven't seen that kid in a long time..."
"It's been almost a year, to be exact," added Caterina, who had been looking at it with Elanon.
"It's been a year..."
When he left the United States, Yan Shao meant to wait until he had some foundation in China before taking Li Yin's group of science and engineering talents. After all, when researching and inventing, it is always necessary to have a stable environment. Instead of hastily letting Li Yin and them come over, it is better to let them stay in the United States first and wait for Yan Shao to prepare everything.
Originally, after the textile factory officially started, Yan Shao had already planned to let them come over from the United States, but who would have thought that it would not be long before he encountered the dumping of several provinces in Anhui by the Japanese. At that time, Yan Shao didn't know if he could persevere, and as a result, what happened to Li Yin naturally ended without a problem.
The most sluggish dragged back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, almost a year had passed.
After learning the news that Yan Shao was going to take Li Yin over, Li Liang's conscience was also happy, after all, Li Yin was his nephew anyway. And there is no conflict between the two in terms of positioning, so there is no need to worry about what threat Li Yin will pose to his status after he comes.
So after receiving Yan Shao's instructions, Li Liang quickly sent a telegram to the United States, asking Li Yin, who was still in the United States, to pack his things and come over quickly. Subsequently, according to Yan Shao's intentions, a three-storey western-style building was built in a location not very far from the textile factory, intending to serve as a future research institute.
Li Yin, who received the telegram, was stunned for a moment, and then arranged the itinerary.
To be honest, he hadn't received news for so long, and he thought he hadn't forgotten it.

In mid-October 1905, the people of Shanghai continued to live like a drunken man, of course, only for those at the top, and the people at the bottom were still struggling to survive like people elsewhere.
Almost half a year ago, Standard Oil's acquisition of Petroleos Mexicanos for $50 million caused a sensation in Shanghai, and I don't know how many people in Ludao are envious of that lucky man.
It's just that for some reason, the identity of this person has not been known.
Gradually, people forget about it, after all, life has to go on.
It's just that just when people were almost about to forget about it, news suddenly came from the United States on the other side of the ocean about the identity of the lucky one...
Yan Shao, a Chinese, this is the true identity of the lucky one...
This is simply unimaginable for the people of Shanghai, because not long ago, several Japanese-funded newspapers had appeared about the imminent closure of the Wuhu textile factory, and in these newspapers, Yan Shao, the owner of the textile factory, had become a typical example of self-indulgence.
Why did all of a sudden this negative example become the lucky one that everyone envied?
"This news is probably fake..."
After getting the news, a foreign bank hesitated, which is probably the only possible explanation in the eyes of others.
However, at this time, Yan Shao announced the establishment of Yushi Group in Wuhu, and included the original Wuhu textile factory, cement factory and shipping company into the scope of the company, and made additional investment, which is expected to reach 5 million yuan.
At the same time, Yan Shao also plans to invest 2 million to build the country's largest cotton planting base in the Jianghuai Plain, so as to ensure the source of raw materials for textile factories and avoid the situation of raw material bidding in the future.
In addition to this, there are flour mills, garment factories and safety razor factories, all of which are expected to reach a staggering 10 million yuan...

Ahem, what should I say? Forget it, don't talk about it, continue to save the manuscript... (To be continued......)
