Chapter 21: It's Time to Harvest (Part II)

After reaching an agreement, Zhou Bo caught a few samples and brought them back to the provincial capital to report the situation to the hotel owner, and agreed to sign the contract tomorrow and send a car to catch chickens and ducks to be weighed.

Zhong Huazhi asked his assistant to grab a sample to test, and he stayed in Linjiang Town with great interest. He heard that Qi Zheng also had a sika deer farm in the town, and remembered that he had never seen a deer farm, so he proposed to visit it.

Thinking of the vast Hong Kong, Macao and even Southeast Asian markets behind Zhong Huazhi, the sales of sika deer products next year may also fall on him, so Qi Zheng happily agreed.

So he took him to the deer farm, and Zhong Huazhi saw the sika deer roosting in the thatched deep area, or alertly foraging in the oak forest two or three meters high, a quiet and lovely scene, which greatly satisfied his curiosity.

He also became interested in Wang Jingming, the head of the deer farm. After learning about the legendary experience of Boss Wang's life, he was amazed. I went to visit Mr. Wang in person, and the two talked happily.

After inspecting the deer farm, Zhong Huazhi readily informed Qi Zheng that he would book a share of the output of the deer farm next year, and Qi Zheng naturally wanted him to book all of them, and promised that he would definitely notify him when the time came.

......

Early the next morning, Zhou Bo and the truck sent by the provincial capital had already driven to the gate of the farm, and after the contract was officially signed, he waited to catch the scales and load the truck while the chickens and ducks were still hungry.

Uncle Cheng was also notified by Qi Zheng yesterday to arrange a few more employees to come over to help, 600 wild ducks, 1,200 local chickens, and it was quite difficult to weigh and load the car.

In this way, some people catch chickens and ducks in the shed, basket them, and then carry them to the door of the farm to be weighed. A group of people began to get busy before the sun rose, and a shout and a noisy "rattle" sound pierced the quiet morning of Mimuling, bringing infinite vitality.

These screams, which used to sound a little harsh, are now sounding like a real enjoyment. This is a song of harvest, the louder the chickens and ducks scream, the more it represents that the cause that everyone is fighting for is about to reach a new height.

Every chicken and duck screamed in panic when they were caught, and even the chickens and ducks in the other sheds responded. In order to reduce the fright of other chickens and ducks, the chickens and ducks to be slaughtered were divided into sheds last night, but Uncle Cheng still urged everyone to speed up their hands and feet and move the slaughtered chickens and ducks out of the farm as soon as possible.

After working so busy all morning, basically everyone was already tired, except for Qi Zheng, Zhou Bo and Chen Lingshan, who had been watching and registering the number of people on the side.

When all the chickens and ducks were already loaded into the car, Zhou Bo and Chen Lingshan began to settle accounts.

600 wild ducks, a little more than 2,900 catties, removed the odds, 7 yuan/catty, that is, 20,300 yuan; 1,200 hemp chickens, more than 3,300 catties, also removed the odds, 12 yuan/catty, that is, 39,600 yuan, a total of 59,900 yuan.

After verifying, Zhou Bo happily paid all the cash.

After the back of the big truck disappeared on the road at the edge of the village, Qi Zheng came back to his senses and beckoned Uncle Cheng to start preparing lunch, after all, today is a harvest day, so naturally it is necessary to treat it well.

After being full of wine and food, Qi Zheng also asked Uncle Cheng to take home a local chicken and a wild duck for each of the employees of the farm, so that everyone could try it.

Although it has been hard for two months, the employees have basically not tasted their own wild fowl, and in the days of the first harvest, they should be given bonuses and express their gratitude.

Everyone happily accepted the reward, and had long heard that this wild fowl was much better than the chickens and ducks raised at home, and they also wanted to bring it back to their mother-in-law and children to taste it.

......

The next day, Zhong Huazhi received the inspection report that the sample was healthy and correct, and also sent a car to catch the same number of local chickens and ducks, and Qi Zheng collected another 62,000 yuan.

After the two buyers left, Qi Zheng, Uncle Cheng and Chen Lingshan dug out the recorded account books and began to calculate the proceeds from the sale of ducks this time.

The cost of each wild duck chick plus vaccine is about 1 yuan, and the cost of a native chicken is about 9 cents; the consumption of grain and feed is a large amount, but relying on the lush pasture and locust breeding supplement, the average grain and feed consumed by a wild duck is 4 yuan, and the average grain and feed consumed by a native chicken is 3 yuan.

According to the average weight of 5 catties per wild duck and 3 catties per native chicken, the profit of each wild duck on the book is as high as 30 yuan, and the local chicken is as high as 32 yuan.

Of course, the actual profit cannot be so much, but also in addition to the input of forage introduction, locust farms, and the input of raw materials such as straw straw, there is also the input of labor.

Rao is so, in the end, the profit of each chicken and duck can reach at least 20 yuan or more.

A total of 1,200 wild ducks and 2,400 local chickens were sold in this batch, bringing a total income of more than 72,000 yuan.

As we all know, this is not the end. With the expansion of the scale of subsequent slaughter, according to the marginal decreasing effect of investment costs, profits will be further improved.

In this way, it is very easy to estimate that the nearly one million invested by the Daling Village Development Company in road construction is a fixed investment that cannot see the income for the time being. More than one million yuan invested in the construction of farms and breeding expenditures, the income and expenditure are offset, and the investment is basically recovered in half a year, and then it will enter a happy period of making money.

This has almost exceeded everyone's expectations. Uncle Cheng basically smiled from ear to ear.

After settling the accounts, the old lady couldn't imagine that breeding was so profitable, and she knew that she would come back to raise chickens as soon as she graduated, wouldn't she have made a fortune a long time ago?

Hehe, that's naïve. Qi Zheng couldn't bear to hit the old lady's beautiful fantasies.

Only Qi Zheng knew that the reason why he was able to make a lot of profits was entirely because of the blessing of the spirit array - several different spirit arrays not only accelerated the growth rate of ducks, shortened the storage time, and reduced the probability of disease, but also cultivated a large amount of pasture, thus saving nearly eighty percent of the cost of grain and feed.

Generally speaking, wholesale poultry is always much more profitable than retail. Because in the case of retail, each one will have a little more weigh, and the number of hundreds or thousands is considerable.

In addition, when retailing, poultry can not be sold out in a day, and the remaining poultry will be in a panic all day long, and their appetite will decrease in a short period of time, and they will lose a lot of weight quickly, which will greatly affect the production.

Another important reason is that this time the two buyers because of their superior quality, the price given is nearly forty percent higher than the price on the market, which is a bloody bid - but don't worry about them at all, they will only earn more, after all, the wool is only out of the sheep.

In fact, in today's farms, whether it is ecological breeding or feed feeding, a chicken and duck can have a gross profit of six or seven yuan is already very good. Because the average farm not only has to pay for the seedlings, buy food and feed, but also worry about the appearance of chicken and duck plague.

If it is completely ecological stocking, the slaughter period will be more than three times that of Qi Zheng.

In this way, the cost expenditure is very high, and the quality cannot be compared with Qi Zheng's nourishment by the spirit array, so the price is naturally not so high, and the income is much lower.

The combination of many factors can make the income of the Daling Village farm frighteningly high, but if it is really like what the old sister said, and also wants to raise chickens and ducks to make a fortune, then wait for it to slowly boil or go bankrupt.

......

The income of the farm is half of that of the Daling Village collective, but in fact, the indirect benefits brought by the existence of the farm itself to the villagers have made everyone happy.

In the past two months, not to mention the peasants working in the farms, the amount of grain, grain bran, rice straw, and so on purchased by the farms alone has reached more than 200,000 yuan, and most of this purchase has fallen in the villages, and this alone has increased the monthly income of each household by nearly 800 yuan, and the effect of getting rich has been very good.

Next, everyone excitedly said that they would further expand the scale of the entire farm, according to the maximum capacity of Mimuling, and began to expand the shed, increase the number of poultry, and turn the farm into a cash cow of the company as soon as possible.

Combined with the follow-up demand of the two buyers, after the expansion of the farm, the total stock of chickens and ducks will reach more than 70,000, which can be regarded as a medium-sized farm.

Now that the farm has generated capital return turnover, the expansion of the farm and the recruitment of new employees are busy with Uncle Cheng and Xie Kaiji, for Qi Zheng, just adjusting or re-arranging the spirit array according to the scope of expansion is already a headache.

At this moment, good news also came from the sika deer farm in the town - the deer herd began to mate.

......

Qi Zheng came to the deer farm and inspected the deer herd with Wang Jingming.

Sika deer have slender limbs and narrow and pointed hooves, so they run quickly, have strong jumping ability, and have a graceful and chic posture, and shuttle freely through the woods and bushes, either hidden or visible.

They begin to mate in heat from August to October every year, with females making their characteristic courtship calls that last for about a month or so when they are in heat, while males make "bleating" sounds like old sheep when courting.

During the breeding period of sika deer, the diet of the male deer is significantly reduced, the temperament becomes rough and fierce, in order to compete for mates, there are often gladiatorial fights, and the two horns on the head become weapons against each other, this kind of "gladiatorial fighting" is a very common phenomenon in deer.

A robust stag can usually have more than 10 females, well, I have to say, what an enviable and jealous guy.

The gestation period after conception is about 230 days, and the litter is born in May to June of the following year, and generally only 1 litter is born per litter, and a few have 2 litters.

Wang Lao crossed his waist and said to Qi Zheng: "The adaptation performance of the deer herd to the environment of the deer farm has greatly exceeded my estimate, and I thought that after entering the market, it would not be until at least next month to estrus and mate." Now it seems that they love it here. ”

Qi Zheng did not hesitate to praise: "You have raised Wang Lao well, if it weren't for you, where would the development of the deer park be as smooth as it is now?"

Wang Jingming is also not modest, "It is only without relaxation that we can have today's results." It's better to be busy, I feel comfortable now, my legs and feet are stronger than before, it seems that I am a hard worker, I can't stop. ”

Qi Zheng smiled silently, Wang Lao has been living in Qi Zheng's house recently, receiving the nourishment of aura, looking red, coupled with his smooth career, it is like a second spring has erupted.

Wang Jingming looked at the cluster of sika deer not far away with satisfaction, and was already looking forward to next year's calving period. At that time, the deer herd will be able to further expand, and this is the meaning of his struggle - watching the birth of a new life, I feel that life is much more complete.

"By the way, my boy is coming back, and he said he wanted to see you. Wang Lao suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Qi Zheng and said.

"Elder Wang, your son, Wang Yuye?" Qi Zheng blurted out.

"Hmm, do you know him?" Wang Jingming was quite surprised.

I don't know, but I admired the name for a long time in my previous life. Qi Zheng replied silently in his heart.
