Chapter 1075: Veal (Part 2)
Lu Changchang gently opened the brochure produced by the genetic engineering laboratory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In terms of the conditions of 85 years, the adjectives of the "illustrated and illustrated" commonly used in propaganda cannot be prefixed.
However, Yang Rui still managed to make the brochure more eye-catching.
On a single piece of paper, he uses fonts of various sizes and depths.
Don't underestimate such a requirement, in the era when there was no computer typesetting, the production of any printed matter was quite complicated.
Yang Rui also owns a publishing house with Shi Gui, and with the latter's involvement, he can easily print the finished product he wants, and even change it as many times as he wants, and he has not been hacked to death by the artist.
Lu Changchang looked at it very seriously.
To their generation, the handwriting on any printed matter seemed to be linked to the truth.
If it is information related to their major, it is even more rare, and many people will copy it down when they get a professional book, and the same is true, they are worried that they will never find it again after they return the book.
In fact, the number of libraries is limited after all, and the number of books that a library can hold is even less, except for institutions such as the famous Peking University Library, most libraries in China have a collection of 10,000 books, of course, there are libraries with thousands of books, but most of them should be called libraries.
However, whether it is tens of thousands or thousands of books, it is impossible to cover the knowledge system after 20 worlds, and professional books are even more cherished.
Moreover, with the exception of a few wealthy units, the cost of buying professional books for individuals is also very high, and at the salary level of tens of yuan per month, any book priced at one yuan will have to make intellectuals hesitate again and again.
From the perspective of Director Lu, the pamphlets that Yang Rui used for propaganda already have the nature of popular science.
As a result, it is.
In the thin pamphlet, Yang Rui elaborated on the classification and marketing methods of foreign beef, in addition to some Simmental cattle breeding techniques.
The content is very simple, if you search on the Internet of Chinese journals, there can be at least ten similar articles.
But for Lu Changchang and others, it is still the same problem, they don't have the Internet, they can't see all the journals, no one can see it, and no one can grasp all the information.
Any bit of valuable knowledge was extremely valuable in the 80s, and in some ways even more valuable than it was 100 years ago.
Because the 80s was an era of the big bang of technological transformation -- although there were countless people who criticized the whole society for not investing enough in technological transformation, the reality is that China in the 80s invested more resources in technological transformation than ever before.
From the lack of food and clothing in the late '70s to self-sufficiency in the '90s, what happened in these decades, or fifteen years, is beyond the imagination of a media reporter sitting cross-legged in an office.
It is true that the technological transformation in the 80s is very low-end, but they are the technological transformation that adapts to the times, just like the life of burning the whole piece of coal for the life of burning honeycomb coal, their technical content is very low, but it is a real technological transformation, and their impact on society is not low at all.
In the brochure written by Yang Rui, there is no advanced knowledge, and it is reluctant to say that it is some skills for stockpiling feed and fattening.
But that's it, and Lu Chang paid attention to it, and after reading the brochure carefully, he carefully put it back in the envelope and carefully stored it in his coat pocket.
I have to say that Yang Rui's fame is also a catalytic factor.
If an ordinary college student comes over with a brochure, even if he takes the time to read it, he won't pay too much attention to it.
But what Yang Rui took out was different.
There are some celebrities in the field of animal husbandry, and professionals or researchers are also young and old, but there are few who are famous enough to be Yang Rui, especially those who attach equal importance to professional and social fame.
Not to mention, Yang Rui has just made the embryo transfer technology of cattle that has not been done in China for a long time.
You know, this thing is going to be included in the 863 Program, the so-called National High-tech Development Program, and you can see from the name that it has technical content.
Yang Rui has such an achievement, and the brochure he wrote, even if it is something that Director Lu already knows, he has to take it back and study it carefully, not to mention something he doesn't know.
Yang Rui waited for Lu Changchang to read the booklet and put it away, and then said: "At present, the fastest embryo transfer for cattle is Zhongmu. Give them a total of 10,000 embryo transfers, which will take about a month. However, all they want for their 10,000 cows are cows. You know, cows grow slowly, and they don't sell well, and it's even harder to make the first exports. ”
"Yes. Lu Changchang lowered his head and pondered.
"On the other hand, the veal that foreigners like to eat is all small male beef, and they will not sell it with 80-year-old heifers. Normally in foreign countries, there is a limit to the number of cattle and sheep in their pastures, if the number is too much, it is not good to grow well, it is better to slaughter the extra little bulls, which is the same as when we raise chickens in China, the little roosters are caught out...... "Yang Rui made a brief introduction, said: "In short, the animal husbandry is too late to participate in the first wave of foreign exchange earnings, and the rest, who buys the little bull early, who will take the lead in earning foreign exchange." ”
Foreign ranches will not slaughter cows casually, the kind of ranches that specialize in raising bulls to sell meat, usually directly purchase calves, and comprehensive ranches, or family ranches, are based on leaving cows as capital and selling bulls as working capital.
The living environment of male animals is so bleak, in most pastures, except for a few bulls left to be breeding cattle, the rest of the bulls are nothing more than 80 days to kill or 380 days to kill, bulls can live to 500 days, even if it is lucky.
There are not many people who want to be like the cattle under the hands of domestic farmers, who first serve as a shelf cattle for a year or even a year and a half, and then fatten for three to six months.
Chief Lu pondered for a moment and said, "What is the price of the 80-day-old veal? You said that there is a ranch for 3,000 yuan, is it cost-effective?"
Raising cattle is not cost-free, calves still drink milk in the early stage, and pregnant cows also need better feed to supplement nutrition, which means higher breeding expenses......
"In foreign countries, veal is sold for a little more expensive than regular beef, and it is not too expensive. Yang Rui directly gave the answer that Chief Lu wanted to ask, and said: "If you want to calculate the detailed account, you spend 3,000 yuan to do the embryo transfer of cattle, and only raise it for 80 days, it will definitely be a loss." ”
"That's ......" Director Lu wanted to say that no one in the country would do this, opened his mouth, and stopped, he knew that someone might do this, after all, it is the state to earn more and less, and it is his own to earn foreign exchange and get promoted.
Therefore, there will be people who would rather lose money and only raise it for 80 days. After all, the loss is RMB, which can be made up from all aspects of the ranch, but what is earned is foreign exchange, which the ranch has nowhere to make up.
"What about 180 days?" asked Lu Changchang again.
Yang Rui said slowly: "The price of 3,000 yuan for embryo transfer, it is estimated that it is not easy to earn back. ”
The weight of a 180-day-old cow is so light that it is spread over the unit price, and it is impossible to make hundreds of dollars more. Moreover, the cost of feed is also a big problem, the smaller the cow, the better it will eat, and the higher the feed-to-meat ratio.
Chief Lu understood a little, and asked tentatively: "If I buy embryos for 1,000 yuan, can I earn money by raising them for 180 days?"
"Almost, 80 days won't lose much. Yang Rui smiled.
At this time, the director of Jiao Chang interjected and said: "So, no matter what, Lao Lu, if you sign this agreement, you will make a lot of money." ”
"The cub sells his field, I'm afraid that I will be scolded by the farm workers in the future. Chief Lu said that he had already made a final decision in his heart.
