Amid the shocked expressions of Fedorov and Thomas, William determined the price. This price made both Thomas and Fedorov feel extremely painful. However, everyone can see the current situation. It is just a competition between two huge forces, either winning or losing, and there is no third way to go.

It was impossible to admit defeat in the Qing Dynasty. William was dull and Fedorov gritted his teeth. Thomas thought for a while and agreed. The three of them made a decision. The war on Baotou began.

The next day, after the price of cotton cloth in the concession came out, Yang Yuanzhao fell into deep thought. The price given by the British was very low, which was reduced by one yuan faster than his previous price. The cotton cloth was about 6 yuan, and the fine cloth was even lowered to 8.5 yuan. This level was a lower price even last year. After all, this was a price for consumers' retail, and a certain cost would inevitably be added. In this way, the wholesale price would be lower. If the retail merchants at the bottom were not left with enough profits, it would not stimulate the enthusiasm of these people at all. Cotton sales would be incapable, even if the concession and the British were not allowed.

Following the price reduction, this is absolutely not possible. Although he still has a considerable profit, competing with the other party with a price war is not the most correct choice, and he has entered the cost zone. Obviously, the British's goal is not simple. He has a very clear goal with his injury. Even if the price is reduced to a certain level, they will also buy goods.

Yang Yuanzhao is not afraid of shopping. He has enough production in Baotou and can even mobilize the output of the Cotton Textile Association, such a large number. He piled up to death, but it doesn't make sense.

Yang Yuanzhao was not in a hurry to adjust the price. He remained silent for three days. The cotton cloth market was one-sided and was all similar products. Why don’t you choose him? When foreign foreign cloth and Baotou are above the same quality level, there are at most minor differences. Without the quality gap between Baotou cloth and Japanese cloth, the price became the most important basis for choice and became the focus of people’s choice.

In this era, let alone patriotism or not, the hundreds of years of slavery education in the Qing Dynasty had completely eliminated the common things of the country, especially in Shanghai, where the concessions and the two Japanese were rampant, each piece of cloth was almost one yuan less. This was the inevitable choice of Shanghai housewives. Even some people who bought it before regretted it. If they had known it, the price would have been reduced to this level, and they would not have bought it before. Not to mention the earliest ones, they bought it a few days ago. A piece of cloth was almost 2 yuan different, which was really hard for ordinary people to accept.

During this period, the price of the cotton cloth market changed faster than the turn of the confrontation. It made the merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang fascinated by the powerful ability of Baotou, and the decisiveness of the great merchants in this war. Both sides had extremely high mobilization ability and extremely determined price-striking. In itself, it was still around 30 yuan, and the price of fine cloth even exceeded 100 yuan. It was so popular that they thought that investing in the cotton textile industry would get rich rewards, but such a business war still taught them a lesson to a certain extent.

Now, when the agreement was signed before, people who were a little unwilling to accept it also recognized Baotou as the leader of the Cotton Textile Association. On the one hand, Baotou is a machine provider and has a superior channel. This is definitely powerful. On the other hand, Baotou can fight against the great powers without losing the price, which is enough to stand in this position.

Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that the price war with the great powers made the ambitious Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants have such a great influence in the palm of their hands. They not only dominated the Cotton Textile Association, but also under the leadership of Baotou, and even a series of light industrial alliances developed under the leadership of Baotou, all of which have considerable influence. Even some who tend to other forces have begun to slowly understand Baotou and become a die-hard ally of Baotou.

Jardine Malay, William frowned and thought about the situation in front of him. This war was at such a level that he had never expected before. Britain had an absolute advantage. The investment of a large amount of capital was deployed more than half a year ago. It has achieved quite excellent results in the international financial market. Not to mention Japan, Japan has earned hundreds of millions of funds, plus the income of other small countries, with a return rate of nearly 50%. It is definitely good in the operation of large funds, but this market that is least valued and feels that it may sweep suddenly, but it is bloody and even hesitates to gain the market with losses.

When did China start from a British cotton cloth dumping site, its peak year, and even generate sales of more than 200 million yuan, but now it can't even maintain several big cities. Is the world changing too fast? Yes, the cost of the UK is lower, but grey cloth and flower cloth, at the current price of 8, 5 yuan and 6 yuan, minus part of the operating costs, this price is definitely a loss, even the UK is the same. With the current sales volume in Shanghai, the average daily shipment volume is about 40,000 horsepower. According to a batch of losses of about 1 yuan, it is almost 40,000 silver dollars, which is 4,000 pounds. Whether it is Jardinet, Daosheng, or even the American foreign companies, they are all major foreign companies. They can lose money, but after a long time, no one can stand it. After a year, a battleship is almost gone.

"William, what should we do!" Fedorov, who was the most impatient, had been unable to wait any longer and said, "Did they shrink? Or we raise the price first!"

Daosheng is a Russian bank, but Russia is nothing in the world in the financial field or the commercial field. Not only does the cotton cloth led by the lead make money, but first it loses money. Even if it loses thousands of dollars a day, it makes him feel extremely painful. Looking at the money, he is just wasted, and he doesn't even make a sound, which is really painful.

Although Tsarist Russia was one of the great powers, it was never a rich master. Tsars of all generations mostly saved things and built treasures that must be brilliant. Most of them were cheaper in the red Soviet Union behind them, and they were even reluctant to pay for money in a battle. Daosheng even sucked China's bone marrow and issued a large amount of currency in China. The last one went bankrupt, and the wealth of countless people evaporated.

Thomas' expression was slightly better, not like Fedorov, but his eyes were still looking at William, as if he was asking with his eyes how to continue.

William had no decision in his heart, and his intuition told him that he could not change easily. After thinking for a while, he said, "Look at it again!"

Fedorov and Thomas showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and they watched helplessly losing a lot of money every day. This was a torment, and their psychological quality was not up to standard and they could not bear it at all.

"Mr. William, Mr. William!" A hurried call came from outside, and a Chinese young man with a traitor in the middle division rushed in. His name was Zhou Zhiyuan, and his English name was Mickey, and he was the translator of a foreign company. Although he had no experience in studying abroad, he had become proficient in English at Shili Foreign Company. After working in Jardine Arts for 5 years, he got to the second class.

William glanced at him and said unhappily: "Mickey, why are you in a hurry? Didn't you see the guests here?"

Zhou Zhiyuan quickly lowered his head and said to William: "I'm sorry, boss!"

"Okay, stop talking about it. What happened? You are so panicked!"

The two next to them had their ears raised. The young man was specifically responsible for staring at the market. Needless to say, Baotou had a reaction. Baotou had never responded. They took it for granted that Baotou had no way to continue. Who would have thought that Baotou actually had a backup plan? Mickey was so panicked, obviously it was not good news.

"Boss!" The scolding of the young man did not feel any dissatisfied. He said fluently in English: "There are movements over there, and the muslin and cotton have been removed!"

"Removed, what did they do?" Fedorov asked incited.

"Finished cloth, colored cloth, finished colored cloth!"

"Colorful cloth?" William was startled and his face immediately became extremely ugly. He knew that it was also one of the important top products of British cotton textile companies. However, the key sales were in Europe. Generally, European cotton textile factories and printing and dyeing factories were either the same, but the relationship between strategic partners. Of course, the efficiency of printing and dyeing is not high, and it is usually only supplied to the European and American markets. In China, there is an occasional amount of water coming to test the waters, and there are definitely not many of them. They are all famous as high-end cloths.

Compared with the printed and dyed cloth, white cloth is of course more attractive, because it is missing a process and can be worn when you go back. White is definitely an unlucky color in China and appears as mourning clothes. Unless you are poor and cannot do it, most of them will have to be dyed.

"Is there any sample?" William was alert, but asked calmly. No matter what, seeing it is true, this Baotou is really not simple. After so many attempts, William dared not underestimate him. As for Japan who was playing with it casually, he simply didn't know how to deal with it. He honestly did his low-end processing and entered the world market rashly, and didn't know how to die.

"have!"

William secretly praised in his heart. The young man was good, but he said, "Take it up!"

Fedorov and Thomas looked at each other and saw some panic in each other's eyes, especially Fedorov. Russia has no production of colored cloth. If the future competition is above colored cloth, it means his exit.

After Zhou Zhilong went out, seven or eight Indian servants came to the office. These Indians were brought by William from Mumbai. They were all very obedient and strong. Each of them was holding several different colors of cloth. When they saw the colors, William was first surprised. What a beautiful color.
