In the restaurant, Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother had already drunk and eaten about the same, and they were leaning back on the chair and chatting at this time.

The content of the chat is mainly focused on Zhou Fangyuan.

Maybe it's really been too long since we met, and the third brother has a lot of emotion.

"You kid, now I can't see through you, why are you so fancy? And most importantly, you can succeed in whatever you do. It's really amazing, in the past two years, I have also come into contact with a lot of businessmen who mix well, but most of them are very confused about investment and future development, and they can only take one step at a time. But you give me a different feeling, you are really good at doing things, no matter what you do, as long as you do it, you can always succeed, and you will never fail. ”

The third brother said with emotion.

"What makes me feel amazing is that you talk about you, not to mention the Internet and real estate, let's talk about farming and pig raising, you say, how many people in our country are farming, how many people are raising pigs, why can others only make a small amount of money, how can you make so much money?"

The third brother asked suspiciously.

Zhou Fangyuan smiled and did not answer.

What else can it be, it is nothing more than strong capital, even if it is accompanied, others accompany him for several years in a row, and he will immediately be beaten back to his original shape, even if he loses money for several years in a row, it doesn't matter, he can afford it.

And the matter of raising pigs, to be honest, is in the land of China, as long as it does not encounter epidemics such as swine fever, as long as you are serious, it is basically impossible to lose money.

Raising pigs is actually quite simple.

Pig raising first to prepare the pigsty, the pigsty is relatively short, as long as you build a relatively small house, but it must be firm, can not be built at will, pig raising generally needs a one-year cycle, some places will snow heavily in winter, the pigsty will not be built if it is not strong will be overwhelmed by rain and snow. You can also build a pool with bricks inside the pigsty, because it is very hot in summer, put water in the pool, which can help the pigs to bathe and cool down.

After the pigsty is built, it is necessary to choose the piglets, and the piglets are to go to the special breeding base to catch them, and they specialize in cultivating piglets. After the piglets go home, they can be raised in the pigsty, but they must first do a good job of epidemic prevention, that is, to give pigs a big vaccine, of course, to find a special person to inject, do not feel that the vaccine is not important, so as to prevent the occurrence of swine fever, to a large extent to reduce the loss.

In the process of raising pigs, if you want the pig to grow fat quickly, then you must eat well, and now there is a special pig feed on the market, buy it back and feed it. However, if you feed all the pigs, the cost is still relatively high in a year. Rural people generally do not choose this way of feeding, the countryside is not lacking is food, pigs are best fed a little miscellaneous, such as rice and rice bran mixed together to feed, the potato in the field can also be fed when cooked, so that it is more healthy to eat, better than eating pork grown out of pig feed.

Pigs are also herbivores, usually add some green grass, or give it green vegetables to eat, eat more of these can help promote its digestive function, because green food contains green fiber. Usually add some water to the pig trough, and if they are thirsty, they will drink it themselves. Usually pigs only need to eat two meals a day. Occasionally, you can let them out for a while, but they don't run away. In winter, hang windproof curtains on the doors and windows of the pigsty to help keep out the cold, and spread some hay on the floor of the pigsty. Pigs will also catch a cold and get sick, this should be observed from the amount of food they are engaged in, if the food eaten suddenly decreases, then you can find a professional veterinarian to come and see, there are drugs specifically for pigs to treat.

Yuanfang Group's subordinate Yuanfang Agricultural Company, there is a special pig farm, and now it continues to expand the scale, around Beitong City, has formed ten large farms, each pig farm can slaughter more than 10,000 pigs every year, just this, in fact, it is not enough to supply the market, if it is not for Zhou Fangyuan deliberately pressed, the following people are afraid to raise this number to 100,000.

The size of Beitong City is also a city with a population of three million, and each person is not more than a day, according to half a catty of meat, this city will eat more than one million catties of pork a day. A 200-kilogram pig has a meat yield of between 72% and 80%, which is 144 kilograms to 160 kilograms, in other words, Beitong City needs a full 10,000 pigs every day to almost enough for the citizens to eat.

Therefore, the slaughter rate of 100,000 pigs a year in distant agriculture is simply not enough.

The reason why he didn't expand the scale was not that Zhou Fangyuan didn't want to make money, he definitely wanted to make money, but once the scale was large, there would be more problems. And now, the Yuanfang Group has developed in an all-round way, to be honest, there is no need to compete with farmers for jobs, maintain the existing scale, enough for the group to use itself. There is no need to continue to expand the scale, if the pig industry in Beitong City is really scraped into his pocket, then the Yuanfang Group is afraid that someone will be pointed at the backbone and scolded.

Besides, although pig farming can be earned, it is not as much as you think.

Do a simple math problem.

Pig raising is generally divided into two situations, one is self-breeding, that is, raising sows by themselves, and at the same time feeding the piglets born by the sows and selling them;

If it is a professional fattening, according to the pig 30 catties that come in, the price of the piglets is 15 yuan / catty, 30 * 15 yuan = 450 yuan cost

In terms of feed, 30 to 220 catties of slaughter with a maximum of 600 catties of feed, the price of feed is 1.3 yuan / catty, that is, 600 * 1.3 yuan / catty = 780 yuan cost.

The total cost is 450 + 780 yuan = 1230 yuan (other costs are not counted for the time being), the profit is 220 catties, the pig price is calculated at 8 yuan, and it can be sold for 1760 yuan. Subtracting 1230 yuan, it is equal to 530 yuan, roughly speaking, after removing 100 yuan of medicines, vaccines, water and electricity miscellaneous expenses, a pig can earn 430 yuan.

However, in the farms of the Yuanfang Group, the piglets are all bred by themselves, which involves the cost of sows.

A day according to 5 catties of feed / head, sow feed, 365 days a year * 5 * 1.3 yuan / catty = 2372.5 yuan, take 2372 yuan, in addition to health care and epidemic prevention costs of 100 yuan, a total of 2472 yuan, a sow a year theory is to give birth to 2.45 litters, in this according to 2 litters, a litter is an average of 10 heads, according to 8 heads, the cost of a pig is 2472 yuan (sow cost a year) divided by 16 = 154.5 yuan / head, take 155 yuan / head.

In terms of the cost of feed for piglets, piglets generally eat suckling pig feed before 30 catties, and the material is calculated at 2.5 yuan a catty, and the basic milk period is still before 30 catties, which is almost a catty of feed to eat a catty, according to 1.2 catties of a catty, the cost of piglets to 30 catties is 30 * 1.2 * 2.5 =90 yuan, 30 catties to 220 catties of fattening pigs eat compound feed, the theoretical average feed to meat ratio is 3:1, that is, 30 catties to 220 catties will be used 570 catties of feed, that is, a little worse pig factory 600 catties of feed is also full of 220 catties. Feed is 1.3 yuan per catty, and eating 600 catties of feed is 780 yuan, that is to say, raising a pig from 220 catties to 90 + 780 = 870 yuan.

Total cost = 155 yuan (the cost of sows and piglets) + 780 yuan = 935 yuan, according to the market of 8 yuan a catty, the profit is 8 yuan multiplied by 220 catties = 1760 yuan - the cost of 935 yuan = 825 yuan / head, roughly calculated, after removing drugs, vaccines, water and electricity miscellaneous expenses of 100 yuan, self-breeding and self-raising 1 pig can earn 725 yuan.

According to the calculation of 10,000 heads slaughtered a year, a farm is a profit of more than 7 million a year, and ten farms are almost more than 70 million profits. It seems like a lot, right, and the domestic pigs are not sold directly for raw pork, but sold after deep processing, and the annual profit should be conservatively estimated to be more than 100 million.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, the risk is very large, the epidemic is the first, then the price of live pigs, then the labor cost and a lot of costs that are not counted, this money, the main thing is to make trouble, far less than making games or making movies on the Internet to make money faster, in this case, why should Zhou Fangyuan go to the near and far? and the farmers have to compete for profits, and they have to take a lot of risks, and in the end, it is not as good as any game to earn more in a year.

That's why he didn't bother to scale up.

Therefore, the third brother's statement is also true and incorrect, when the scale of the Yuanfang Group was not large at the beginning, pig raising and farming were indeed very important. But as the scale of the distant group becomes larger and larger, the ability to make money is getting stronger and stronger, and farming and pig raising are actually not very profitable. The same is true for cattle and sheep raising, agriculture is a huge industry that the country cannot do without, but the industry itself is not as profitable as imagined. It's just that because there are too many people to feed, the scale of agriculture in our country is very large, and at first glance, good guys, it seems to be particularly profitable.

Actually, if you think about it, that's actually what happened.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan will not stop the development of agriculture, but as mentioned above, his agricultural company needs to be transformed.

Today, it has been split into two parts, known within the group as the North and South branches.

The northern branch of Yuanfang Farm is mainly responsible for grain production.

Needless to say, the importance of food is how much money can be made from growing food.

If you are a friend who lives in the countryside, you will know that there is a serious shortage of rural labor, and the village is basically full of elderly people over 60 years old, and these people will take their grandchildren at home. If you are healthy, you will plant a few acres of land, and if your waist and legs are not moving, you will concentrate on taking care of your grandchildren. Young and middle-aged people have gone to work, and these lands cannot be left idle, everyone will contract to large households, and there are also some rural people who rely on large farmers to plant farmland to ensure income.

In the countryside, if you contract 100 acres of land to grow grain, how much can you earn in one year?

First of all, take wheat planting as an example, you can start sowing in October every year, and the cost of improved seeds is 30 yuan per mu, and you need to add growth agent, the cost is 5-10 yuan. After all, 100 acres of land, if you want to rely on the manpower of the past for deep ploughing, it is naturally unrealistic, and you will only miss the growth period of wheat, resulting in poor growth of wheat and low yield.

In addition to the cost of planting, the cost of pesticides and fertilizers is also needed, so that the wheat can grow better, with sufficient fertilizer guarantee, and the growing pests and diseases can also be removed in time. Now that the straw has been returned to the field, weeds will grow wildly every year, and there will be frequent outbreaks of pests and diseases. Therefore, the cost of agricultural materials should be at least 300 yuan, so as to escort the wheat in an all-round way. Of course, the biggest problem in the north is the lack of water, and irrigation is required at least 2-3 times in spring and summer every year, so the cost is also 100 yuan.

In June, wheat ushered in the harvest season, at this time it is impossible to harvest manually, after all, there are 100 acres of land, and the general cost is 80 yuan/mu. In this case, from the planting of wheat to the subsequent harvest, it will cost 600 yuan, and if you include the circulation gold, it will cost 1,100 yuan. However, the yield per mu of wheat is 900 catties, and the price is 1.2 yuan per catty, so the cost and income are just equal, and it seems that there is no money.

But the land can be harvested twice a year, and in the next season, corn will be planted. Everyone knows that the yield of corn is higher, and although the price is low, one mu of land can also earn an income of 500 yuan. In this case, 100 acres of land is 50,000 yuan. You must know that most of the farmers who go out to work are 3-40,000 yuan, which is much better than part-time work. But don't forget, growing food is subsidized. At present, the price of agricultural support and protection subsidies per mu is 114 yuan subsidy, and 100 mu of land can get a subsidy of 11,400 yuan.

The state provides an additional subsidy of 40-160 yuan for large planters of more than 100 acres, but individual applications are required. In this way, you can get 2-30,000 yuan for the subsidy alone.

The northern agricultural company, casually shot, is a million acres of scale, a year, but a lot of money, but the money is still second, mainly the grain industry is related to the national strategic level, the distance group involved in it, in fact, it is equivalent to a gold medal for self-defense. As long as there is no problem, ensuring that the annual grain is handed over is a great help for the Yuanfang Group.

As for making money, the Southern Agricultural Company is responsible for making money.

If nothing else, just growing vegetables is not a small number in a year.

Even if you only have one acre of land to grow vegetables, you can make money after planning, and you can generally earn 3 or 40,000 yuan a year.

In this way, you need to make full use of the time of the year, planting baby cabbage in February, spring cabbage in April, and potatoes from October to December, etc., and you can harvest and sell them in season to make a profit, but if you don't plan properly, you may only earn 1 or 2,000 yuan.

Vegetables are indispensable in life, so many people choose to plant vegetables, how much money can be earned by planting vegetables on an acre of land, in fact, it is well planned to cultivate it in turns, in addition to the original cost, there can also be about 3 or 40,000 yuan of profit income.

First, the year needs to be cut and then sown and harvested according to the ripening time of the seasonal vegetables. For example, baby cabbage can be planted in February, spring cabbage can be planted in April, and potatoes can be planted from October to December.

An acre of cabbage can produce about 7,000 to 8,000 catties, a pound of cabbage in the market is generally 1 to 2 yuan a catty, then an acre can harvest about 15,000 yuan, plus vegetables can be harvested every season for sale, in addition to renting land, seed costs, water and fertilizer and labor costs, its profit is about 3 to 40,000 yuan.

An acre of land is 3 to 40,000 acres, what about 100 acres, 10,000 acres, 1 million acres?

Of course, farming can make money, but if you want to make a lot of money, you have to go up on scale.

This involves the problem of capital again, the third brother said that he can make money by farming and raising pigs, yes, he can make money, but first of all, the investment is not small, and secondly, the heart is also big, and the labor cost is not low, if not, why make a lot of money.
