Speaking of the ranch enclosure, Li Dongliang smiled.

Compared with Jiagu agriculture, which has worked hard for so long to improve a "small piece" of desert land suitable for farming, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry can really be said to be a "horse race".

"It's too much like the Australian outback I've been to, with an arid climate, high evaporation, poor environmental carrying capacity, and insufficient soil fertility, so it's not suitable for farming, but it's suitable for growing grass, and it's more suitable for grazing. Li Dongliang said happily.

Xie Kaiji's face darkened, what does it mean to be unsuitable for farming? What does it mean to be suitable for grazing?

But Li Dongliang continued to hit him and said: "Especially the alfalfa cultivated by our group, it is too suitable for the environment here. It can also prevent wind and fix sand, improve sandy soil through nitrogen fixation, and develop animal husbandry...... It can really be said that planting grass on the sand sea increases greenery and income!"

Xie Kaiji looked at Li Dongliang with a dark face, regretting bringing up this topic.

He couldn't refute it, because most of the million-acre oasis developed by Jiagu was planted with pasture.

As Li Dongliang said, the climate here, if there is more abundant rainfall, there is a high probability that it will naturally return to grassland, which is the most suitable for grazing.

Of course, with the intervention of artificial technologies such as irrigation facilities, the direction of land development can be changed. But for now, growing grass is definitely more advantageous than growing crops on sandy soil.

Li Dongliang finally announced: "So I have decided that Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will build a large pasture here to raise beef cattle!"

Xie Kaiji was stunned: "Beef cattle?

Li Dongliang nodded firmly.

Judging from the main meat consumed by the Chinese people, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry is the largest in pig raising, although the scale of chicken and duck breeding is not large, but it also has a certain reputation, but in beef, there is no sense of existence.

There is no way, most of the energy was focused on dairy farming, whether it is capital or space, it is not possible to take into account beef cattle farming. Until now, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have the conditions to raise beef cattle.

"We're already hungry for beef!" Li Dongliang said, rubbing his hands.

Xie Kaiji thought about the current situation of Jiagu's agriculture and animal husbandry, and said slowly: "Also, as a relatively high-end meat consumer product, beef is usually sold more expensive than pork, which is a big market. ”

He is not surprised that Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry chose to enter the beef market, the most important thing is that Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has rich experience in cattle raising, and it is easy to get started.

It's just that I didn't expect Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to start the marine aquaculture project, and at the same time opened the front line of beef cattle breeding.

In this regard, Li Dongliang squeezed his eyes: "The marine aquaculture side is carried out together with the island development that the boss gave to the boss's wife. We mainly provide technical strength and assistance in management, and the investment is borne by BOSS independently. ”

To put it simply, Qi Zheng packaged the development of the island and the surrounding fishing grounds into an independent operation project, and invested independently, while Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry only provided assistance, and by the way, accumulated experience in marine aquaculture.

Xie Kaiji instantly understood. Although the company does not pay much dividends at the moment, Qi Zheng has a personal stake in the Assassin Fund - after all, he started with his private funds, and even after being integrated and merged into the Jiagu Group, he still retains a considerable personal share in it.

The Assassin Fund has raked in tens of billions of dollars in the past two years in the subprime mortgage crisis, which means that the small coffers of the big bosses are also very rich.

It's just for the daughter-in-law to spend a lot of money, what's so strange?

It can only be said that Li Dongliang is a lucky thief, and he "picked up" a fishing ground to practice.

It's no wonder that whether it is a dairy farm or a pig farm, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, which has invested wildly in the past two years, has completely entered the harvest season this year, but doesn't it have the energy to toss?

"Compared with pork, beef has a high protein content, low fat and cholesterol content, a composition closer to the needs of the human body, easy to digest and absorb, and can improve the body's ability to resist diseases. It is also because of the high price, the consumer market has not been completely released, but with the upgrading of consumption, I estimate that this is a trillion market!" Li Dongliang said back to the topic, "And the main reason why beef is expensive is because the supply is too small." ”

Isn't it?

Cows are conceived in October, and only one baby is usually born. In contrast, a sow is only 4 months pregnant, and a litter can give birth to more than a dozen or twenty piglets, while the hen is constantly laying eggs, laying eggs, laying eggs - this is the difference between "backward productivity" and "advanced productivity".

If you look at the growth time, the gap is even more [.xbqg5200.xyz] hopeful.

It takes 38 months for a cow to be slaughtered from the time it is fertilized. In contrast, commercial pigs at the same stage only take about 10 months, which is nearly 2 and a half years faster than cattle!

"It's not like you planting potatoes, dig a pit and plant it, and it won't take half a year to harvest. We don't have a one-year or two-year layout, so we don't want to have a return at all......," Li Dongliang complained about.

Xie Kaiji's face was expressionless: "Hehe, don't look at how much money the group has thrown into you?"

"Ahem......" Li Dongliang was speechless for a while.

As a group, resources are always limited. Give this, and that one gets less. Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry in the past two years of crazy investment, the heads of other subsidiaries are not uneasy, but the group's strategic planning is like this, and Qi Zheng and Wang Yuye at the top have enough prestige, so others are at most sour, but there is no contradiction.

But if you get cheap, you can't say it's good.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dongliang forcibly changed the topic: "Anyway, with such a large forage base and such a big market, it is the best time to enter the beef market." ”

At present, the supply of beef in the market is mainly composed of two parts: domestic and imported.

Of course, the natural barrier of national borders has led to the fact that the beef market is actually a fragmented market, and imported beef is completely unable to meet the domestic market. Current beef consumption is still largely met by domestic production – again, no other country can "feed" the Chinese.

At present, China's beef cattle herd is stable at about 60 million heads, and the total output of major beef producing countries such as Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand is not enough for China's supply.

"If we want to eat meat, or if we want to eat good meat, we have to rely on ourselves after all. ”

Adhering to the view that Qi Zheng has always instilled, Jiagu has a consensus on "win-win with the country": the huge domestic consumption gap means a huge opportunity for Jiagu, and Jiagu strives to fill the gap for the country, so as to obtain extraordinary social status and profits.

When Xie Kaiji heard this, his eyes flashed: "Our group's beef cattle breeds have been bred into a herd?"

Li Dongliang clapped his hands and laughed: "Did you guess it? Yes, our 'Sanqin Niu' can finally 'get out of the school'......"
