Come here to report on this.

The current situation is that life in Northeast China is better, and Japan is still busy, and the inner city is like hell.

Song Biao called out the first call in the morning, and the new political situation suddenly shook. Everyone was busy. Ouyang Xi, who was a scholar, could only hurriedly hold all the information in his arms and go to the third floor.

When he arrived at Song Biao's office, Ouyang Xi brought more than 600 pages of information.

Song Biao looked at Ouyang Xi strangely, thinking that you can tell more than 600 pages of information in these fifteen minutes? But he still let Ouyang Xi sit in front of him first and reminded him kindly:

"If you have any questions, then just put it simply. If you don't organize it, we will make another appointment in the afternoon."

He is a very realistic person. Since he wants to rely on the other party to govern the three northeastern provinces, he still has to be particularly friendly. After all, the other party is not a soldier.

Ouyang Xi hurriedly replied: "It has been sorted out. As of October, the total export volume of the three eastern provinces in Hanguan in the first year of Xuantong was 530 million yuan. It is expected to reach 750 million yuan by the end of the year, and the next two months are mainly

Look at the export of soybeans and other grains, as well as the export volume of major export products such as coal, steel, cashmere, sugar, etc. before December.”

After saying this, Ouyang Xi submitted the statistics and forecast report of the Foreign Trade Department to Song Biao.

Song Biao took the report and looked carefully. The current basic export situation of the three northeastern provinces is similar to that of Japan. It exports soybeans, coal, mineral products, cashmere, sugar, wood, fur to the international market, and exports to the internal control, Southeast Asia, and North Korea.

Primary industrial products such as sugar, textiles, steel, glass, kerosene lamps, matches, hardware, clocks, copper products, etc. They also sell large-scale grain within the customs.

The Sino-Japanese Economic and Trade War is a war between the three northeastern provinces and Japan. The two sides currently have no conflicts in the fields of tea, raw silk, soybeans, sugar, and cashmere, and there are large-scale collisions in other aspects. Especially in the fields of coal, iron and textiles.

The impact has reached a shocking point, basically the three northeastern provinces have the advantage in the coal and iron field, while Japan has the advantage in the textile field.

Northeast soybeans are still the main product of foreign trade exports in the three eastern provinces. This year, it is expected to export 1.75 million tons of soybeans, accounting for 60% of the total international market demand. It is expected to exceed 40 million pounds for the first time, and coal is expected to export 24.7 million tons.

, steel is expected to be exported 1.85 million tons, the remaining grain is expected to be exported 5.5 million tons, and sugar is expected to be exported 920,000 tons (this is really far beyond the estimates of Song Biao and the Far East Consortium, because the production of beets is really powerful, this thing

The output is calculated in tons, and the profit is huge. Song Biao never thought that the profit margin of the sugar factory would exceed that of the steel factory and the textile factory. This is really incredible). Textiles are expected to be exported to the Guanzhong, North Korea and Southeast Asia.

, These are the six major export categories in Northeast China.

Just as Song Biao was reading the report, Ouyang Xi asked tentatively: "There are two issues to be reported to you in the Zhongtang Finance Department. One is whether this year's coal tax will be directly reported to the general ledger, or will it continue to open another account.

Included in the special tax? Second, the textile industry has suffered losses this year, and all companies have suffered great losses. It just so happened that the tax preferential treatment of some large factories has expired, and they have lost all their money in fighting with the Japanese textile industry. The Textile Association proposes whether the Governor's Office can turn it

Tax preferential treatment will be delayed for another two years.”

Song Biao thought for a while and asked Ouyang Xi: "Have the estimated value of total taxes and total fiscal revenue this year come out?"

Ouyang Xi replied: "It's out. The total tax revenue of the three eastern provinces this year is expected to be 175 million silver dollars, and the total fiscal revenue is about 250 million silver dollars. The total contribution of agricultural tax and mining tax exceeds 70%, and the coal tax is in mining tax.

The total national income of our three northeastern provinces is about twice that of Japan, but our average tax rate is roughly equivalent to that of the UK, half lower than that of Japan, and slightly higher than that of the United States. As for the textile industry in the three northeastern provinces

The total amount of taxes such as business value-added is really not large, and it is expected to be around 11 million silver dollars throughout the year."

Song Biao roughly thought about it in his mind and said: "Coal tax and mining general tax are included in the tax table of the Finance Department. What should be disclosed must always be made public. As for the textile industry, what is the situation in Japan?"

Ouyang Xi replied: "The Japan Textile Industry Association is also actively lobbying the government to adopt special preferential policies for the textile industry. It is said that half of the business tax will be reduced and all business taxes can be reduced, which is the normal so-called export tax rebate. We In this regard, our textile industry exports to the outside world are mainly to North Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as British rental areas such as Hong Kong and Singapore. The total amount is not large. The places where our textile industry and Japan suffer heavy losses are mainly within the control area, and both sides have bloody conditions. The battle is too great, from cotton cloth to cotton yarn, all of them suffer heavy losses. This is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, mainly because the profit rate of Japan's textile industry in the past few years was above 10%, such as Mitsui, the net profit rate of internal and external cotton even As high as 28%, the eight major textile companies in Japan not only expand production in China, but also actively set up factories in China. Among them, there are more than 20 Japanese textile factories opened in the three northeastern provinces, local textile companies in the three northeastern provinces, Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries. Capital textile manufacturers are also expanding, and almost all of their capacity expansion is concentrated in this year. Each company has huge inventory. Japan has already been dumping on a large scale in my country. Local textile companies in the three northeastern provinces can only be lower. The price is in order to maintain the hard-earned market share.”

Speaking of this, he continued to persuade: "Zhongtang, I personally think the government may have to come forward. If the Governor's Office of the three northeastern provinces does not urgently rescue local textile companies, although the eight major textile companies in Japan are destined to suffer heavy losses this year. But after all, they are

The Japanese local market is profitable and our companies cannot hold on. Then the major plan for revitalizing the textile industry we planned before would be a complete defeat. When these companies are forced to go bankrupt, the Japanese textile club will definitely survive this difficulty in full.

, and will fight back next year even more fiercely."

Song Biao nodded silently and said, "Rong Xingqiao has reported on this matter to me. This afternoon, Yu Qiaqing, president of the Textile Industry Association of the Three East Provinces, Pan Sichi, and Zhang Bishi, also wanted to meet with me to petition.

You said that our three northeastern provinces cannot rely on the textile industry, but must rely on the coal industry. It was true before, but fortunately you proposed it in time, otherwise the consequences today would be unimaginable. In principle, I mean that the business tax will continue to be reduced by half. At the same time, I find a way to raise some funds.

Alleviate the financial difficulties of each factory.”

Ouyang Xi said: "Zhongtang, I personally think that even if the business tax is exempted, it cannot cure the root cause. The problem now is that Japanese companies have already constituted dumping against China. We should follow Germany and France to formulate the Anti-Dumping Act and impose huge amounts on Japanese textiles.

Tariffs are punished.”

Song Biao nodded slightly and said, "The laws involving the tariff field are always subject to the unequal treaties signed by the Qing court and the great powers of various countries. The three eastern provinces are almost powerless in this regard, and now they can only think of other solutions.

The conflict between the three provinces and Japan's economy in the process of development is absolutely inevitable. Perhaps in the next decade, the Sino-Japanese economic and trade war will be the only theme of China's economic development. Unless we can fundamentally directly change China's tariffs,

Protect the domestic market.”

Speaking of this, Song Biao could only smile bitterly.

Ouyang Xi comforted: "From the overall trade situation, we still have the advantage in general. Although Japanese textile companies dumped large-scale in China, they did not make money, and no matter how much they make, they could not stop this level of half price.

Dumping. Japan's total textile exports to China last year were close to 70 million silver dollars, but this year it plummeted to 23 million silver dollars. Not only did the sales volume drop by 40%, but the price also hit a huge hit. Normal enterprises cannot stop this loss. Panschi and I

Posting. The only eight major Japanese textile companies did not lose money last year, the only one in the Shejin Textiles Company, and the other seven companies suffered losses of at least 300,000 yen. The most powerful one is Mitsui Products, which has the largest investment and expansion in China, suffered heavy losses of more than one

One million yen is equivalent to spit out the total marketing profits of the textile industry in China in the previous years. The textile industry in the three eastern provinces has suffered the most losses in the Far East Textile Corporation, which is expected to lose 1.2 million Kanto silver dollars throughout the year."

Song Biao thought silently for a moment, took out the schedule today and took a look at it roughly. There was no important arrangement in the morning, so he said to Ouyang Xi directly: "Go and notify Yu Qiaqing, Pan Sichi and Zhang Bishi, at 9 o'clock

I went to my office to discuss countermeasures before, so don’t delay this issue and deal with it this morning.”

Ouyang Xi immediately stood up and said, "Yes, I'll make arrangements now."

After saying this, he hurriedly left the office to inform the three textile giants from the three northeastern provinces to come to attend the interview.

The Sino-Japanese Economic and Trade War has begun since the signing of the Qing-Japan Trade Treaty in 1872. Before the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Chinese businessmen have always dominated China's economic and trade trade, and since then, Japanese businessmen have gradually dominated, but before this

It cannot be regarded as a real trade war. Since 1909, the Sino-Japanese economic and trade war finally started to fight with the textile industry, and both sides fought very fiercely.

The industrial level of the three northeastern provinces is definitely one level lower than that of Japan, but the industrial products of the two sides are basically overlapping. For every 3 percentage points increase in foreign sales in the three northeastern provinces, Japan's exports will decline by 1 percentage point.

The reason why the Sino-Japanese Economic and Trade War suddenly broke out on a large scale in 1909 was that of the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty and the 42nd year of Meiji in Japan. The main reason was that the eight major textile clubs in Japan were both in the local and Chinese markets.

As the scale of production is expanded, the ethnic textile industry and foreign-funded textile industry in the three eastern provinces have also expanded wildly, and in 1909, the market was oversaturated.

As exports to China were first impacted, the products of eight major textile companies and various small and medium-sized textile companies were accumulated in the Japanese local market, and they were forced to set off a wave of price reduction in Japan. Immediately, this wave of price reduction quickly affected the Chinese market and the three eastern provinces markets.

The reaction was the most intense, and the battles in Tianjin, Shanghai, Qingdao, Jinan and Wuchang were even more tragic.

In 1907, China's textile industry market totaled about 120 million yuan, and 70% was imported. Japan accounted for 70% of the 70% imports, and there were many giant companies. By 1909, the textile industry in the three eastern provinces was fast.

With the rapid development, coupled with the surge in the number of Japanese textile factories invested in China, the proportion of total textile imports in the total market has dropped rapidly to 33%.

As of April 1909, the total spindles of the textile industry in the three eastern provinces had increased to 1.58 million spindles, reaching the level of Japan in 1904, while in the same period, it increased to 2.73 million spindles, and the total number of spindles in other textile factories in Kan also increased to

1.52 million ingots. The war in the textile industry is no longer avoidable.

According to data provided by the Finance Department of the Three East China Provinces, after May 1909, Japan's textile price index fell by 7.4%. The average textile price index of Kanto textile price index fell by 13.3%, and the average textile price index of North Korea's Incheon market fell by 9.2%.

Shanghai, Qingdao, Jinan and Tianjin saw an average decline of 23.5%.

Because the average profit margin of the textile industry is only 8%, it is considered very good companies higher than this value, such as the eight major companies such as Mitsui, Osaka, Zhong Yuan, and Sejin. If the business is lower than this value, it is not very good.

If a good company falls like this, almost the entire industry will suffer a collective weight loss.

Because Mitsui Products invested in the largest Shanghai Textile Company in Shanghai, which is the hardest hit by the price plummeting, Mitsui Products' losses are naturally the most powerful. The total losses of Far East Textile Corporation are even stronger than Mitsui Products.

What can I do if I lose?

Song Biao stood up, stood in front of the window and lit a cigarette and looked at the square in front of the Governor's Mansion building, weighing in his heart the decision he should make.

In fact, he has no choice at all. No matter how much he loses, he has to hold on. It depends on who can last longer. The situation is right in front of him. Either Japanese companies go bankrupt or Chinese textile companies go bankrupt, only two sides are

The price war will stop if half of it dies.

Is it because I lost money this year, and I may continue to lose money next year or the year after, so I completely gave up China's textile industry? The various efforts made by the Far East Consortium to do a good job in the textile industry over the years. The talents trained in schools are foreign countries.

The trained staff, the funds, equipment and personnel invested in the dye industry, the promotion of excellent cotton seeds, the reconstruction of water conservancy irrigation systems, the patented technologies purchased from France, Germany and the United States... and other achievements will be given to the eight major Japanese textile industry in vain.

Society?

It's impossible, there's nothing so cheap.

China has a population of 400 million, so the textile industry must be well maintained.

If we take a step back, even the textile industry cannot be done well, what other modern industry can China develop?

Time passed in seconds. Yu Qiaqing, Pan Sichi and Zhang Bishi were originally expected to meet Song Biao in the afternoon. They were all living in the Shenyang Wanguo Hotel. When they received the call, they hurriedly rushed over in a carriage, which happened to be 9 am.

I arrived at Song Biao's office before I was called, but I was so nervous that I was afraid that I would be late.

Song Biao has always been very cold to anyone now, and is a little polite to the three of them. He asked the servants to prepare tea in advance. The three of them entered the office with Ouyang Xi in such a mood.

After bowing and asking for advice from Song Biao, I sat down after listening to Song Biao's orders.

Pan Sichi touched the teacup sent by the serviceman, his hands were still warm, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that he, Yu Qiaqing, and Zhang Bishi had arrived very in time. If he was five minutes late, he would have to tremble even if he saw Song Biao.

He came in tremblingly and was punished first.

Song Biao actually doesn't like being a ruthless person, but the situation in China is always strange. If it is not ruthless, the efficiency of the government and the army will always be slow, so he can only be this bad person.

If he is a good person, everyone will be a good person. China will be over. Although the legal system of the three northeastern provinces has become increasingly complete, it is actually a one-man rule society. All legal authority is based on whether Song Biao strictly implements the new law.

Song Biao was not convenient for saying nonsense to the three businessmen, "Don't be afraid of me?". He just gave Pan Sichi the textile industry price data table previously counted by the Finance Department and circulated it for a while. He waited for a while before asking.

: "What do you think now?"

Pan Sichi looked at Zhang Bishi, Zhang Bishi looked at Yu Qiaqing, the president of the Textile Association of the Three East Provinces. Yu Qiaqing could only grit his teeth and asked Song Biao: "The Zhongtang master understood the people's sentiments and sympathized with the people. Today, the Kanto textile industry is difficult to survive and is struggling.

It was all caused by the Japanese textile company's dumping in China. Now the only way is to ask Lord Zhongtang to understand the difficulties and please exempt the business tax of each factory in the textile industry for two years to avoid heavy losses and bankruptcy of our factories."

Song Biao sighed and replied: "China cannot be without the textile industry. It is impossible to rely on the internal security industry. Only our three northeastern provinces can find ways to continue to support these things. This year is a loss, but next year may still be a loss, but mine

The ambition has not changed, and I hope your ambitions will not change either. China not only needs the textile industry, but also needs to be the strongest textile industry in Asia. China has a population of 40 million, and such a huge market cannot be given to foreigners and Japanese in vain.

Then how much silver will we lose to Japan in a year?”
