Chapter Ninety-Eight: Action (2)

The Mitsui & Co. building in Shanghai is still in the original conference room. It's just that compared with more than two months ago, the atmosphere in the conference room has become much dull and depressing.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's been more than four months..."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Still holding on..."

"It's like losing money..."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When will it be cashed out..."

"I can't hold on anymore..."

Around the long table in the conference room, the heads of various foreign banks were gossiping, almost all of them complaining.

It is no wonder that they will be like this, since four months ago they dumped textiles in Anhui and other places at a lower price than the cost, these small foreign companies have entered a state of loss. For them, if it's only for a month or two, it's okay, but after more than four months in a row, even Mitsui & Mitsubishi & Co. can't stand it, let alone these small foreign companies.

But the most important thing is that in the past four months, Yan Shao's Wuhu textile factory has obviously been forced into a desperate situation, and more than 40,000 spindles have only opened one-tenth, but they just don't breathe, which makes these small foreign companies also become anxious.

For them, as long as the Wuhu textile factory does not close for a day, they must persevere, after all, if the snake does not die, the opponent will easily revivenation. And as long as this situation does not end, Yamamoto Jotaro will not be able to deliver on their promises of market share, and this loss situation will not be reversed.

These small foreign companies were involved in the first place, firstly because of the influence of Mitsui Foreign Companies, and secondly because of the potential threat brought by Yan Shao. However, there is another very important reason that the competition in Shanghai's textile industry is too fierce, and almost every year textile factories close their doors because of losses. So after Yamamoto promised that he would give them some market share. They were intrigued, because a large, non-competitive market was exactly what they needed.

Now, instead of getting what they wanted, they've lost a lot of money over the past four months. This makes them how not to complain.

In the face of the complaints and reproaches of these small foreign companies, Mitsui Takeshi was nothing, anyway, he was not the leader this time, but Yamamoto, who was concentrating firepower, had an ugly face.

"That's enough." Seeing that almost everyone was blaming himself, Yamamoto, who couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and whispered. "At the beginning, I was only in charge of the invitation, but I never forced you, it was you who joined in after hearing that you could carve up the market. Some even took the initiative to come to the door. Doing business is inherently risky, and now that something goes wrong, do you want to put all the blame on me! Speaking of this, Yamamoto's face also became a little distorted and hideous.

In fact, it is not only them now, but Yamamoto is also under a lot of pressure. Because of the decline in the profitability of the Shanghai branch in the past four months. There has been criticism in the branch, after all, the bonuses of the staff below are linked to the efficiency of the branch. If that's all it takes, even the locals are blaming him now, and those people don't care about any long-term strategy. Nor do they understand the great benefits after the occupation of the Yangtze River basin. They only saw that the profits of the Shanghai branch were declining every month

Not long ago, there was a voice in the local area, asking Yamamoto to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise not only would he not be able to keep the position of the branch president, but he would also have to bear all the responsibility. Now, when it comes to pressure, Yamamoto is even more powerful than these people.

Seeing that Yamamoto was angry, he looked at his ugly face, and the others looked at each other and didn't speak.

Yamamoto really didn't force them in the first place, or he couldn't force this kind of thing in the first place.

But now they have suffered so much. If there is no explanation, or if there is no one to make some amends to them. They wouldn't accept it, either, so after a moment of silence, they started talking.

Although there is a lot to say, what to say is simple.

Four words.

"Time, compensation..."

Although Yamamoto has always said that it will be okay to wait until the Wuhu textile factory collapses, the question is when will they collapse? If they just keep going, I'm afraid that they will be the ones who will collapse first, not Yan Shao, so they need Yamamoto to give an exact time, or fulfill part of the promise in advance...

Looking at these guys in front of him, Yamamoto really wanted to give them a slap in the face, but he could only appease them with good words.

Don't look at the scale of the yarn mills and textile factories in the hands of these foreign companies, basically there are only 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 spindles, and there are only two or three of them that can reach 40,000 yuan, but now they can continue to dump at low prices in front of them, and the output of these small foreign banks is at least more than half. If these small foreign banks announce their resignation at this time, Mitsui and several other large foreign banks alone will not be able to hold on at allβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” not to mention that after these small foreign companies leave, these large foreign banks may not be willing to persevere.

In fact, Yamamoto also muttered a little in his heart, because he didn't know how much time Yan Shao could last. But he knew very well that there was no way back for him.

In the past four months or so, the foreign banks have spent a lot of money, energy, and time, and if they fail to achieve any results after the last attempt, the vitality of the Japanese foreign banks involved in this operation will be damaged, and even other foreign banks in Shanghai will be implicated, and he will assume full responsibility for the failure of this operation.

After thinking about this, he tried to calm his anger, and Yamamoto comforted the people in charge of the foreign bank with a rare and pleasant face.

It's a pity that these guys don't buy Yamamoto's account at all, and the most important thing for them now is to know a clear time. But Yamamoto couldn't take this time at all, so the meeting could only end unhappily...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Fed up in the conference room, Jotaro Yamamoto angrily returned to his office. "Those bastards who don't know the big picture..."

"That's right." Nodding, no matter what he thought in his heart, at this time Kosuke Yamaguchi could only open his mouth in agreement.

After scolding and venting in the office, Yamamoto's mood finally calmed down a little. "But things do get a little weird, judging by the time. At this time, Yan Shao's funds should have dried up. ”

"This..."Hearing him say this, Kosuke Yamaguchi also frowned.

Generally speaking, 40,000 spindles. Every month, the purchase of raw materials alone requires 30,000 or 40,000 silver dollars. Especially after the Japanese raised the purchase price of cotton in Nantong, the price rose to 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. In other words, every month to meet the 40,000 spindles, at least 1.45 million silver dollars are needed.

Of course, not long after learning that the Japanese began to dump at low prices, Yan Shao turned off at least half of the spindles, and this amount needed to be discounted. But even then, it would take six or seven hundred thousand a month.

There are also workers' salaries, new hospitals, schools and other facilities, and factory expansions that have never been suspended.

Although from the third month. Yan Shao reduced the number of spindles to one-tenth of the total, but the purchase of raw materials every month still required more than 100,000 silver dollars. Coupled with the consumption of other aspects, there is no layoff at all, after the calculations of the accountants of foreign banks. Yan Shao's funds should have been completely exhausted more than half a month ago. That's right, complete depletion.

But now Yan Shao's side is still in good shape, and even from the information obtained by the local personnel in Wuhu, the current Wuhu textile factory is completely no different from more than two months ago.

"There must be something wrong with this..."After pondering it carefully, Yamamoto's originally angry face became gloomy.

The news of the discovery of two tons of people in Tampico has already reached Shanghai, although this kind of news has nothing to do with China at this time, but in any case, there are a large number of foreigners living in Shanghai, and a considerable number of them are British and Americans. It is important to know that almost all of the people who are involved in oil in Mexico today are from these two countries, so this kind of news is still very marketable in Shanghai.

However, thanks to the help of Standard Oil. So far, at least, few people know who the original owner of Petroleos Mexican was.

Of course, at least Dohanni and his sexy secretary with a plump body but very rough skin still know it, after all, Yan Shao bought Petroleos Mexicanos from them in the first place, and they don't mind revealing this news and causing Yan Shao some trouble. But just as they were about to do this, the Standard Oil people had already come to the door, and after 'understanding and feeling' with them, they obediently shut up.

So when the news of Standard Oil becoming the new owner of Tampico reached Shanghai, Yamamoto had no idea that this lucky man he envied was Yan Shao, who had been cornered by him in his eyes.

Of course, he didn't know that Shigeru Narita's gang was trading with a group of 'mysterious' guys without him.

There is no way, who is called Emperor Tiangao Yuan, he himself is in Shanghai, and he doesn't know the situation below, and under the huge interests, Narita Shigeru's group is also doing everything they can to deceive and conceal things. As a result, at least 15 million of the more than 20 million textiles dumped into the Yangtze River valley by the Japanese Federation every month were collected by Li Liang and his colleagues. For more than two months, more than 30 million worth of textiles have been hoarded in warehouses at various wharves alone...

That is to say, only a quarter of the goods dumped by Yamamoto and them every month flowed into the market, and almost all of the rest were hoarded by Li Liang and them.

They don't care about this, they don't care, in their opinion, only the silver dollar in their hands is the most real, as for the rest? They did what Yamamoto told them to do, but they dumped most of them to a group of mysterious people...

In the case that there is no problem with the funds at all, Li Liang and the others continue to speed up the absorption, because no one knows how long this matter can be hidden from Shanghai, even if it is discovered in the next moment, it is not impossible, so they can only charge some more, and they don't have to think about anything at all...
