Wang Shaodong saw that Ma Zhentang was serious, and said in his heart that I had a good intention, you really took my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Uncle Zhentang, if you really plan to go to the chicken, I won't stop you, but I have to remind you that the price of firewood rooster is at a historical high, and you are now on the chicken, in case the market is bad when the slaughter is out, you can't blame me. ”

It's August 2002, and it's January 2003 when I've been raising it for five months, which happens to be the worst time for the firewood rooster market. And if you stay up until the end of the year, feed an extra month of feed, it will increase the cost of 12,000 yuan, and the six-month firewood rooster can still only be sold as a small rooster, the price is not reliable, and the average weight of the chicken cannot go up.

Wang Shaodong estimated that the price of small roosters would pick up at the end of the year, and the retail price of small roosters would be about 7 yuan 5, and the price of big cars would be about 5 yuan.

2,000 chickens, by the end of the year, the investment is about 50,000 yuan. The weight of the last six-month-old red jade chicken is about 5 catties and 5 taels, deducting the casualties of the chickens, 2,000 red jade can finally pass 10,000 catties, even if it burns high incense, and the cart can be sold for 50,000 yuan, which is basically a waste of work.

If Ma Zhentang waits for another month, wait until the price of chicken seedlings falls to a few cents a piece, and then raise it until the end of the year, the chicken seedlings will save 10,000 yuan, and the feed cost will save 10,000 yuan, and the sales at the end of the year will basically see a profit of 20,000 yuan, which is stronger than the current chickens I don't know how many times.

When Ma Zhentang heard his neighbor Wang Shaodong say this, he also became serious: "Eldest nephew, which farmer have you seen make money every time? It depends on luck to do this, how can I blame you if I lose money at that time? Besides, do you plan to lose money on chickens?"

"Then, since you have said so, uncle, I will help you contact the chicken seedlings, but let's talk ahead, uncle, the price of firewood roosters has been rising these days, and the shortage of chicken seedlings is serious, can I help you contact Hongyu is one thing, and it is very possible that the price will definitely be more expensive than the chicken seedlings we bought at home. ”

"This is my natural way, you just need to contact me with the chicks. ”

On the side, Wang Fumin saw that Ma Zhentang was a little anxious, so he urged his son and said, "Son, you should go and help your Uncle Zhentang contact and take a look." ”

Wang Shaodong nodded, then called Ma Zhentang into the house and dialed Li Hong's phone with his own landline.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Shaodong went straight to the point and asked the other party if he could contact the chicken seedlings and asked for 2,000 red jades.

Li Hong said to inquire.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhentang was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to get chicken seedlings.

Now the price of live chickens has risen all the way, making farmers very greedy.

The price of live chickens in Dazhai Village has exceeded seven yuan a catty, and the price of chickens in a cart has exceeded five yuan, and the profits of raising chickens have suddenly increased.

However, because of bird flu, there are no chickens in the hands of farmers in the entire Luzhong City.

Less than ten minutes later, the phone of the Wang family rang, and Ma Zhentang hurriedly urged: "Pick it up, is it the one who sold chicks just now?" ”

Wang Shaodong nodded, and Wang Fumin next to him also looked at him.

Wang Shaodong put the phone on the speakerphone and connected the phone.

"Uncle Hongzi, have you heard about the chicken seedlings?"

"Xiao Wang, I inquired about it, but the price of this chick has risen by five cents, and now it is 2 yuan 8 a piece. ”

Wang Shaodong knew that this price was included in Li Hong's benefit fee of 3 cents. However, he still confirmed: "Is it 2 pieces and 8 packages delivered to the house?

"The shipping fee is calculated separately, and the buyer has to pay it. Now this price is a bit high, and it is not cost-effective to serve chicken. "Li Hong is a more honest person, which Wang Shaodong understood in his previous life.

Wang Shaodong glanced at Ma Zhentang, Ma Zhentang nodded again and again, and said, "Buy, 2 8 will be 2 8."

In fact, this account is very easy to calculate, 2 8 chicken seedlings, 2000 chickens is 5600 yuan, plus 200 yuan freight, the cost of chicken seedlings alone is 5800 yuan. Then the money for chicken medicine plus vaccines was about 1,500 yuan by the time it was slaughtered. The bulk of the final cost is the feed cost, which is raised for five months, and when the chicks grow to 5 and a half catties, the total feed cost is about 30,000 yuan. In this way, the total cost is more than 37,000, and the car can be exchanged for more than 50,000 yuan when it is sold, and the profit is 13,000.

Of course, the biggest risk in the breeding industry is the market risk, when the market price of live chickens is at a historical high, but when it is five months old, the historical price of live chickens suddenly falls to a historical position. At that time, the price of the cart of chickens is less than three yuan, and 2,000 chickens will lose 20,000 yuan at once. Even if the casualties are not well controlled, it is normal to pay more than 20,000 yuan.

In the batch of chickens in July, Wang Shaodong, Ma Zhentang and He Jiaxiang all earned more than 10,000 yuan, and they were full of confidence in raising chickens. If you lose money all at once, you will lose the confidence to raise chickens in the future.

Many chicken farmers were completely heartbroken because they lost two or three batches of chickens in a row, and they didn't wait for a good market, and they never raised them again.

However, at this time, Wang Shaodong was a little cautious.

In the next step, he wants to expand the scale of his own chicken farm, which requires a large number of manpower, and if he first lets Ma Zhentang suffer a little bit of chicken raising by himself, and then he will send some warmth and recruit him over, it will definitely be a capable man.

In his previous life, Ma Zhentang was the leader of farmers in Taohualing Village, and the level of raising chickens was also very high.

"Okay, then 2 yuan 8, Uncle Hongzi, when are you going to send chickens, do you want me to come over?"

"You can send chickens the day after tomorrow, if you can trust me, you don't have to come. ”

"I can trust you. ”

"Then you will clean up the chicken coop and arrive at twelve o'clock the night after tomorrow. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhentang praised and thanked Wang Shaodong again, which made Wang Shaodong feel embarrassed in his heart.

After sending Ma Zhentang away, Wang Shaodong said to his father Wang Fumin: "Uncle Zhentang, I'm afraid this batch of chickens will lose money." ”

Ma Zhentang's family was half a month later than Wang Shaodong's family, and if Ma Zhentang's family lost money, according to convention, Wang Fumin's family would not be able to make money.

After Wang Fumin heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Do you think you have to lose money for this batch of chickens from Uncle Zhentang's family? What about ours?"

"Our chickens are definitely making money. ”

"Why?" Wang Fumin was a little puzzled.

"Don't look at the price of live chickens is very high now, maybe the price has fallen in a blink of an eye, and when our chickens are five months old, the cart will not make money. However, our chickens are exactly seven months old by the end of the year, and the catties are just enough to send to Qishan. And Uncle Zhentang's chicken is just half a month away, and two catties are not enough, and he can't catch up with the good market sent to Qishan at the end of the year. After the New Year in a blink of an eye, the demand on the chess mountain has come down, their chickens are not easy to sell, and the price has also come down, so it is very unlikely that they will not lose money. ”

After listening to his son's analysis, Wang Fumin couldn't help but nod.
