Chapter 499 Contracting
"By the way, what is the benefit of fish farming, and can it ensure the employment of the whole village?" asked Hang Yu.
"As far as I know, the wholesale price of freshwater fish is about five yuan, and if you want to ensure profits, you have to be polycultured. Because the water layer in which different fish live is different, one acre of fish pond can raise about seven or eight hundred fish, and the output is about two thousand catties. Peng Tiejia said.
"Two thousand catties per mu, even if you don't count the cost, is only about 10,000 yuan of income. Hang Yu frowned slightly.
"Yes, much better than growing corn. Huo Zhan said.
Accustomed to making money on the Internet, Hang Yu is not satisfied with this kind of thankless business.
Although Peng Tiejia didn't make it clear, Hang Yu also thought that fish farming is not so simple. The polyculture density is high, the oxygen in the water is not enough, and the electricity bill is a big expense to open the aerator frequently.
If the technology is not well controlled, large-scale breeding is easy to cause problems, and if it is not done well, it will lose money.
"There are more than 300 households in our village, and if we want to live a well-off life by raising fish, we have to open at least 1,000 acres of fishing grounds. It is estimated that 1,000 acres is not enough, and some more expensive aquatic products must be cultivated, such as shrimp and crabs. Hang Yu said.
"If you really open a thousand acres, you will definitely not only raise ordinary fish. Peng Tiejia said.
"It's hard to manage such a big fishing ground, so it's contracted to each family and let them raise it themselves. In this way, we can guarantee profits, and how much money the villagers can make depends on their own ability. And the fish pond contracted by his own family is energetic when he works. Qiu Wei said.
"It's true that the contract system is a little better than a big pot of rice. Hang Yu nodded.
"How much does it cost to dig a thousand acres of fish ponds? Guo Huairou said.
A football field is about ten acres of land, and a thousand acres is the size of a hundred football fields.
The amount of work can be imagined, and the salary of the excavator master alone is quite a lot.
"Don't worry about this, the dug up sediment can be sold. Hang Yougong said with a smile.
"Sell it to?" Guo Huairou said curiously.
"The river sand can be sold to me, and we can use it for construction, but if it's clay, it depends on the material. Some can be used to lay foundations, roads and houses may be used, and fertile soil can be sold to those who engage in flowers. Hang Yougong said.
After doing construction work for so long, Hang Yougong has also dug a lot of sediment and knows how to sell.
"Sounds good, so that we don't need to dig fish ponds with labor costs, mainly for the construction of fishing farms, and the cost of buying fish fry and aerators, it shouldn't be too big. Hang Yu said.
"The construction of the fishery is entrusted to me, and the purchase of fish fry and aerators will not exceed two million. Hang Yougong said.
"Well, but a thousand acres of fish ponds can't satisfy the whole village, and aquaculture alone is not enough. As I said before, if you want the whole village to be well-off, you have to move together. Instead of us taking the lead in a project, asking everyone to donate some money, and then sitting at home and waiting for dividends, this way of getting rich is meaningless and does not last long. Hang Yu said.
"Indeed, there are a few more projects to be worked on. Hang Yougong nodded.
"Dad, if you don't let everyone follow you to do construction, you can endure hardships without technology. Hang Yu said.
"What you are willing to do has already followed me, and those who are unwilling either have no strength or can't endure this hardship. And it's hard to make a fortune in construction, even if I take care of them, it's useless if I don't get motivated myself. Hang Yougong said.
Hang Yougong opened the Meishan Construction Company, and some people in the same village followed him in the early days. After the company developed and expanded, Hang Yougong did not forget to promote the villagers, and gave priority to hiring many Meiling villagers, as well as people from some nearby villages.
However, most of these people are farmers who have never read a book, and Hang has meritorious and willing support, and there is not much room for development. The projects that Meiling Company has received are becoming more and more high-end, such as villas, office buildings, high-end warehouses, etc., and ordinary people can't be senior executives and technical positions no matter how hard they can endure hardships.
If young people are okay, they may be able to turn over while struggling and learning, but those who are willing to follow Hang Yougong to engage in architecture are basically people over thirty or forty years old, and their plasticity is very poor.
has been working as a coolie at the bottom, and he can't make a few bucks, let alone make a fortune.
"Young people are either going to school or going out to work, and most of the people who stay in the village are old and weak, and what can they do. In my opinion, 1,000 acres is not enough for 2,000 acres, and everyone can still take care of fish together, and it is useless to engage in other projects. Qiu Wei said.
"Fish farming is not something that everyone can raise, and just now I said that we want to engage in a contract system, and a few families can afford to contract. Most of the villagers are still living in old houses, and it is difficult for them to provide education for their children, and they are certainly not willing to take risks. Guo Huairou said.
Hang Yu and Qiu Wei's families are rich in the village, and they can live in small western-style buildings with front and rear compounds. But the other villagers are not so good, no more than 50 families can afford to build small western-style houses, and the remaining 200 or so families still live in old houses.
And those who can afford to build small western-style houses are not necessarily very rich, some are borrowing money to build houses, some have used up their savings to build houses, and some have built houses but have no money to decorate, and the outside is still bare red bricks.
Listening to their discussion, Huo Zhan, who was still excited just now, realized that there were still many difficulties.
Huo Zhan lit a cigarette, crossed Erlang's legs and swallowed the clouds, his brows furrowed.
"Yunshan, a good person does it to the end, can you contract first and pay later. Huo Zhan thought about it, and he had to be generous to Hang Yu, so that this thing could be done, after all, the villagers did not have the ability to take risks.
"How to calculate the loss, the debt is also a problem. Hang Yu said.
"Otherwise, don't engage in the contract system, because it is difficult for the villagers to support without technology. Or you take the lead, everyone together to invest in professional breeding technicians, and the villagers follow to do what they can. Huo Zhan said.
"The problem is that there are not so many people, if the whole village comes to contribute, everyone has a little share, and they can share a few dollars a year, so it is better to go out with my dad to work." Hang Yu shook his head.
Huo Zhan scratched his head, and a few gray hairs appeared in his messy hair, looking very irritable.
"At the beginning, everyone's shares must not be much, and I estimate that few people are willing to contribute tens of thousands of funds. After the fishery was operated, Yunshan slowly gave up his shares in order to make the whole village rich. Hang Yougong said.
"And 1,000 acres is not enough, I estimate that it will be about 3,000 acres, which is just enough to satisfy the whole village. Qiu Wei said.
Hearing Hang Yougong's words, Huo Zhan's eyes lit up and he looked at Hang Yu expectantly.
In fact, in the final analysis, De Hangyu has this ideological consciousness - not for himself and for the whole village!
"It's really not good, I'm here, my company has also made a lot of money in the past two years, and it's no problem to build a fishing farm. Hang Yougong saw his son's hesitation, knowing that he was not willing to let everyone get something for nothing.
However, Hang Yougong has a deep affection for the village, but he doesn't mind suffering.
Just like building roads for the village before, Hang Yougong is not ambiguous at all.
