Chapter 31: The Great Leap Forward
With Gao Kun's clear instructions and support, Chen Qingdong completely let go of his hands and feet and started the affairs of the farm.
Chen Qingdong, Chen Hongbing, and Zheng Hongtao sat in a simple private room in a small restaurant to discuss the specific matters of running a farm.
They have already made clear their willingness to run a farm, and with the clear statement and support of Gao Kun, the mayor of Shuangshan Town, coupled with Chen Qingdong, a "think tank" they can all trust, Chen Hongbing and Zheng Hongtao are very confident, and now they are just discussing how to run the farm, and the first and most important problem is the problem of funds.
Because in 1998, when Chen Hongbing and Zheng Hongtao retired in the wave of national disarmament, the state had not yet implemented the retirement pension system, and because they were both urban hukou, they were placed in the security section of the county's No. 6 cotton factory, but the cotton factory soon closed down under the impact of the market economy, and the factory gave them 10,000 yuan each, and they have since become unemployed.
After that, the two of them opened a small restaurant with 20,000 yuan, and after more than a year, they didn't make a few dollars, and yesterday they gave the small restaurant to a northeastern couple at a price of 10,000 yuan.
The income of the small restaurant, the transfer fee, plus the savings of the two of them, and the 100,000 yuan of the apology given by Sun Cripple, the two of them could only make up 150,000 yuan.
Before meeting Chen Hongbing and Zheng Hongtao, Chen Qingdong had already had a detailed chat with Xie Wenhai, who had experience in running a chicken farm, and Huang Deyu, the stationmaster of Shuangshan Town Animal Husbandry Station, and also had a general understanding of the early investment.
Chen Qingdong wants to run this chicken farm is mainly breeders, so the incubator is the most important and indispensable equipment, and Huang Deyu told Chen Qingdong that the price of an incubator that can hatch 10,000 eggs is at least about 50,000 yuan, and the price of an incubator that can hatch 20,000 eggs is close to 80,000 yuan, and according to Chen Qingdong's assumption, such an incubator is still too small, at least one incubator that can hatch 50,000 eggs is barely enough.
Because the business model of this farm is to buy eggs first, then hatch chicks, sell them to farmers to breed eggs, and then buy eggs from farmers, and so on, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the scale of incubation.
Even if Chen Qingdong doesn't set his sights too high, he will work in a down-to-earth manner, first buy an incubator that can hatch 10,000 eggs, hatch the chicks, and sell them to farmers...... In this way, step by step, the start-up capital of 150,000 yuan is completely insufficient.
Because, in addition to the incubator, other fixed capital investment requires at least land contract fees, chicken farm design costs, construction costs, transportation costs, installation costs, egg purchase costs, and most importantly, feed costs.
Huang Deyu told Chen Qingdong that the general broiler farm, the cost of feed can account for almost more than 60% of the entire breeding investment, although Chen Qingdong wants to set up this chicken farm is mainly to hatch eggs, but also must just hatch out of the chicken seedlings for a period of time before they can be sold to farmers, so the cost of feed can not be ignored.
In addition to these fixed investments, it is also necessary to consider the costs of water, electricity, fuel, immunization drugs, etc., as well as a certain amount of liquidity to cope with various emergencies.
A more important factor is that the farm hatches eggs, sells them to farmers, and then farmers raise breeding chickens and produces eggs and then recycles them by them, this process takes time, in other words, they want to accumulate wealth and make achievements, and they have to postpone because of this factor, but whether it is Chen Qingdong, or Chen Hongbing, Zheng Hongtao, or Gao Kun, they are actually not willing to wait in their bones, but hope to be able to see the results quickly, if they must limit a time, Then this time cannot be more than a year.
Because Chen Qingdong gave Zhang Meng a one-year appointment, Gao Kun will face the county and township general elections in another year, Chen Hongbing and Zheng Hongtao are now very eager to make money, and the real estate tide in Liulin County will also come vigorously in a year, they also want to be able to free up their hands to enter the building materials market, if the development is good, there is even hope to get a share of the real estate pie!
They don't want to wait, and they can't afford to wait!
But the process of growing chicks, laying eggs, and then being recycled is not time-consuming, so the only way to compress that time is to scale up production in the first place!
If an incubator that can incubate 10,000 eggs can take them four years to make a difference, then an incubator that can hatch 40,000 eggs can reduce that time to a year!
Although the reality of the situation cannot be calculated like a math problem, such a few enthusiastic young people who have been carried away by the desire to succeed are ready to make a big leap forward!
After the three of them explained this problem thoroughly, Chen Qingdong said: "Big brother, Brother Hong Tao, if we do this step by step, then I dare to guarantee that we will never lose money, and there will be almost no risk, but from the beginning of such a great leap forward development, then the result must be two extremes, either we will succeed in one fell swoop and become famous from then on, or, we may be climbing up all our lives." ”
Zheng Hongtao said: "Xiaodong, you are the most literate person among us, this idea is also what you came up with, we can all trust you, we will do what you say." ”
Chen Hongbing took two puffs of cigarette and did not speak.
Chen Hongbing's mood was not very good today, because he fought with Sun Cripple and went to the police station, and then put the small restaurant out, last night his wife Yang Yulan quarreled with him again, complaining that he was such a big man, and he was a soldier, and now he can't even find a job, he doesn't make money by opening a small restaurant, and he causes trouble all day long.
Then, Yang Yulan told him how young and promising the manager of their unit was, and before he was thirty years old, he bought an Audi.
She really poured mold for eight lifetimes, and she was blind at the beginning, so she married Chen Hongbing!
Chen Hongbing did not tell Yang Yulan why he closed the restaurant, nor did he tell her his future plans, but in Yang Yulan's noise, he left the house without saying a word, sat on the side of a remote road all night, smoked three packs of cigarettes, and thought clearly about the future road.
Chen Qingdong and Zheng Hongtao didn't know that Chen Hongbing had this incident last night, and when they saw Chen Hongbing silent, they thought he was hesitating, so Zheng Hongtao asked, "Hongbing, what do you think?" We three brothers, if you have anything else to say, you can say whatever you think. ”
Chen Hongbing took another puff of his cigarette and smashed the cigarette butt on the table, before staring at a pair of red eyes and saying, "Now this kind of wilting life, I'm really enough!" Qingdong, just do as you say, if you fail, you should not live this time! ”
The three gamblers, eager for quick success, looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Zheng Hongtao finally concluded: "We don't have to deal with each other, we have no way out, no funds, how easy is it to climb out of a way?" The project that Xiaodong said is, at least in my opinion, our best opportunity now. As long as we earn the first pot of gold from this project, there will be more places for us to toss in the future! The grievances I have suffered in the past few years have to be made up for a hundred times and a thousand times more fucking! ”
After reaching an absolute consensus ideologically, Chen Qingdong began to talk about specific funding issues.
"Big brother, Brother Hong Tao, I have roughly estimated that if you want to set up a chicken farm with a scale that we can look at, the start-up capital should be at least one million." Chen Qingdong said.
"We've scraped together 150,000 now, and we'll talk about the rest of the money." Chen Hongbing said.
Chen Qingdong was the first to say: "Mayor Gao is very supportive of this work, and he also greeted Yue Xinyong, director of Shuangshan Rural Credit Cooperative, and he should be able to borrow a sum of money from him, but this money can only be lent out when we build a certain scale of the farm and can mortgage it." ”
Zheng Hongtao said: "That's good! We can first take the money to build the farm, and at the same time handle the loan, even if the money is loaned to us in the middle of the factory, it can also be used for the construction of the later project. ”
Chen Qingdong frowned again and said: "When Yue Xinyong agreed to this matter that day, it was in front of Gao Kun, and I don't think Yue Xinyong agreed too simply. At the last party-government joint meeting in our town, Wei Hailong didn't give Gao Kun any face, and rejected his proposal in public, so I'm afraid that Wei Hailong will put pressure on Yue Xinyong and won't let him lend money to us. ”
Zheng Hongtao is a thoughtful, bent and stretched, and very good person, saying: "Money can make ghosts grind!" Qingdong, let's have a good relationship with Yue Xinyong during this time, and then give him a commission when the loan comes, plus Mayor Gao gives us a posture, it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't get a loan, we must make good use of this channel. ”
Chen Qingdong agreed: "Brother Hong Tao is right. ”
Chen Hongbing asked, "Second brother, how much do you think we need to invest in the early stage?" ”
Chen Qingdong thought about it and said honestly: "I haven't started yet, and I don't have any experience, so I can't say how much money I need, but the more the better." ”
Zheng Hongtao said: "I have an old watch, I have been doing trade in the south for the past few years, I don't know what this kid is upside down, but I heard that he has made a lot of money." But this kid is a bit picky, and he likes to show off, and I don't usually like to take care of him, but this time I'll give him a call to see how much he can lend me. My cousin opened his mouth, and I couldn't think that he should be able to lend me 50,000 yuan, right? In fact, 50,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for him! ”
Chen Hongbing also said: "I mortgaged my house to the bank, and I should be able to borrow 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and I will think of other ways." ”
Chen Qingdong knew that the relationship between Chen Hongbing and his wife was not good, so he was very surprised by Chen Hongbing's idea of preparing to mortgage the house, if Chen Hongbing did this, then their relationship between husband and wife would be even worse!
So Chen Qingdong said worriedly: "Brother, you can't mortgage the house until you have to." ”
Zheng Hongtao also knew the situation very well, and said: "Yes, Hongbing, isn't this not yet that step, your old bottom still has to be kept." ”
