One hundred and twenty-six, release and pickled eggs
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, one or two hundred cars were parked outside the auction hall next to the cowshed, some of which were vehicles used by dealers, and the other part was vehicles that transported cattle.
Today is the first auction in October, and it is also the day of the website release, and Tang Ming came here very early.
By ten o'clock, all the dealers had arrived.
There are hundreds of dealers here today, and there are some dealers' faces, Tang Ming is very familiar, these are people who often come to participate in the auction, and some are very unfamiliar to him, it is the first time he has seen them.
Tang Ming walked to the auction table and said, "Everyone, good morning, it's a pleasure to meet you, today's auction is hosted by me, but before the auction starts, I want to say one thing first." “
After a pause, Tang Ming glanced at the dealers below, and said: "We have made a website at Alpine Ranch, and after each auction, we will post the information on which dealer has auctioned a few cows on the website, and the purpose of our website is very simple, that is, to help your customers distinguish the authenticity of beef, so as not to buy fake beef from other dealers, so I hope you can help promote it, I thank you in advance." ”
"It's a great idea, and with this website, my customers can go to the website and make inquiries, which makes him feel more at ease. ”
"After the establishment of the website of Alpine Ranch, it will definitely increase the visibility of Alpine Ranch, and it will also be beneficial to those of us who come to participate in the auction. ”
"I don't think it's a good thing, now the beef from the mountain ranch is only spread in a small circle, and if the popularity of the alpine ranch increases, more people will come to the auction and the pressure on us to compete will be greater. ”
“……”
After listening to Tang Ming, the dealers in the audience began to discuss, some agreed and some opposed, but for Tang Ming, it made no sense for them to oppose it or not, the website had been established, and it was impossible to close the website because of their opposition.
"Ahem......" Seeing that the dealers below were almost discussed, Tang Ming coughed lightly a few times, attracting the attention of all dealers to himself, and then said: "I listened to it just now, everyone has some doubts, mainly focusing on two points, first, when we release information, will we release the auction price, I can tell you for sure, no, the price of each auction is confidential, and it does not affect your money." ”
Tang Ming looked at the dealers below again, and said again: "Second, as for whether the number of people participating in the auction will increase in the future, will the auction price be raised to a level that is unacceptable to you, I have a solution, that is, to increase the number of cattle auctioned to ensure your interests as much as possible, and from today onwards, our weekly auction number will increase to two hundred and fifty heads." ”
There are three barns in the pasture that can fatten 1,000 head of cattle, and they can be slaughtered after three months of fattening, which means that 1,000 cattle can be slaughtered every month, and four auctions are held every month, and 250 cattle can be auctioned each time.
This is the limit of the ranch now, if you want to increase the number of slaughter again, you need to build a cowshed, however, Tang Ming does not have this idea now, you need to see the number of dealers who will participate in the auction in the future, if the number of dealers increases, it will naturally increase the number of slaughter, if you still maintain the current number of dealers, you will naturally maintain the current scale of slaughter.
After all, scarcity is expensive, no matter how delicious the beef in the pasture is, the quantity increases, and the price will naturally decrease, which is not in Tang Ming's interests.
The dealers in the audience were still very happy that Tang Ming had increased the number of auctions, and no one discussed the issue of the website anymore, waiting for Tang Ming to start the auction.
Tang Ming said: "Then let's start the auction now." ”
After such a long time of auctioning, the reputation of Alpine Ranch has been established, and there is no need to lead the dealers to slaughter and inspect, nor do they need to taste it, just auction it directly.
The cowboys drove out two hundred and fifty cows, two cows in a group, divided into one hundred and twenty-five groups, Tang Ming asked a cowboy to drive the first group of cattle over, briefly introduced, and the auction began.
The auction was unexpectedly hot, with the first group of cattle selling for $79,300.
Then, by the time of the fifth group, the price exceeded 85,000 Australian dollars.
By the end of the auction, the highest group of cattle had sold for a whopping $93,000, breaking the record set a few weeks earlier.
Two hundred and fifty cows were sold for a total of more than 11 million Australian dollars, this price exceeded Tang Ming's expectations, he originally thought that today's addition of fifty cattle would reduce the average price, but he didn't expect to break the record of the average price.
Tang Ming thought about it and felt that it had something to do with the website, and they probably had a premonition that fierce competition was about to start, so they went crazy.
Tang Ming has just said that his idea of establishing this website is very simple, just to allow consumers to distinguish whether they are buying beef from alpine pastures, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect, which made him a little proud.
After sending off all the dealers, Tang Ming returned to the villa and saw Song Zihui at the door.
Song Zihui said: "Today's auction is crazy. ”
Tang Ming sighed: "It's really crazy. ”
Then he smiled again and said, "However, I like this kind of madness, the crazier they are, the more I earn." ”
Song Zihui glanced at Tang Ming and said, "I really didn't find out that you kid actually has the potential to become a profiteer." ”
"What kind of profiteer, what kind of profiteer am I?" Tang Ming said confidently: "Everyone is mutually beneficial, the higher I sell, the higher they sell, I sell more than 40,000 Australian dollars for a cow, maybe they will sell it for 100,000 Australian dollars, or even higher, otherwise do you think they will pay such a high price?"
Song Zihui nodded and said: "It's also said that the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, if there is not enough benefits, they really won't pay such a high price." ”
The two of them walked into the house while talking, Tang Ming saw Su Huiqin washing goose eggs and duck eggs while watching TV in the living room, walked over, and asked in surprise: "Mom, the duck and the goose have laid eggs." ”
Su Huiqin said with a smile: "I've already laid eggs, I've saved some and I'm going to pickle some to eat." ”
Hearing Su Huiqin say this, Tang Ming felt that his saliva was about to run down, he hadn't eaten salted goose eggs and salted duck eggs for a long time.
When he was a child, his favorite food was salted goose eggs and salted duck eggs, no matter how he ate, he couldn't eat enough, and when he grew up, every time he went home, Su Huiqin would cook some for him to take away.
