Chapter 760: Thoughts on Raising Cattle

Feng Yinghui said: "That's the case, it's hard to buy calves now, and it's very difficult to maintain the current herd of about 10,000 heads." ”

"Why is this happening?"

"In the past, the calves produced by cows were killed when they were raised by bulls, and the cows kept their young, and only the old heifers were eliminated. Later in the breeding process, people found that the little bull from weaning to fattening to 7, 800 pounds, it takes 30 months, can sell 8000 to 9000 yuan, heifer fattening to 6, 700 pounds, only 24 months, although the price difference of 1000-2000 yuan, can save time, feed and labor wages are more, a cow's profit, equivalent to a half bull, so willing to raise bulls are gone, will be heifer fattening directly killed or sold, slowly formed a vicious circle. ”

Wuyang asked, "How much money can you make selling a calf?" ”

"Now the price of beef has risen, the price of calves has also risen, a weaned calf can be sold for about 2500-2800 yuan, a cow can only produce one calf per year, the cow's annual feed and labor wages are about 2000 yuan, and the profit is 500-800 yuan. Those professional households need more calves, and there is no way, only to raise their own cows, but retail households do not raise them. ”

"Is there anything that can be done to change this?"

Feng Yinghui said: "Now the government can only guide farmers to raise more cows, and farmers are unwilling to raise them, so there is no way." It is better to have one or several large companies to invest in building several large cattle farms capable of producing tens of thousands of calves per year, and they fatten some of them themselves. Sell a portion to the peasants. In this way, there is no need to worry about the origin of the calf. There is no shortage of beef in the market. ”

Wuyang said: "It's not difficult to find a big company, but it's not a good way, professional and retail investors have the possibility of being crushed by large companies, so that these people can't raise cattle, why go?" ”

Feng Yinghui smiled: "Secretary, you are too worried. Raising cattle is not farming, and when large companies rent seeds, farmers have no land to plant. Why is the price of beef so high now? It is because there are fewer cattle raised, and people are miserable by clenbuterol, and many people change from eating pork to beef. According to statistics, our Jiujiang County used to kill 3 cows a day to meet the needs of the market, but now? Since the Mid-Autumn Festival has entered the peak of eating beef, not counting those villages who have been killed and sold in the market, this village alone will supply 10 heads a day, so how much does the county and the city need? ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "Secretary Feng, these beef cattle grow so fast. What kind of feed is it fed? ”

"Roughage is straw, corn stalks, sweet potato vines, etc., and concentrate feed is wheat bran, corn, soybean cake, peanut cake, cotton cake, etc. You can rest assured. Our county has strengthened supervision and inspection, and will never feed hormones. ”

"What do you do with so much cow dung?"

Feng Yinghui said: "They are piled up and fermented and sold to farmers for farming and fish farming. By the way, now there is a good place to go, which is to make fertilizer for greenhouse vegetables. Our county does not need soilless cultivation, but there are hundreds of thousands of acres of greenhouse vegetable bases in neighboring counties. ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "Secretary Feng, I know some big bosses, go and mobilize them to see if they are willing to build a cattle farm." ”

"Okay, welcome to our county-run cattle farm, get rich together, no, make a fortune together."

"Secretary Feng, with all due respect, the cattle farm may not be built in your county, and it is difficult to solve the roughage problem, and the transportation of concentrate feed is inconvenient, which also increases the cost. But don't worry, as long as your friends build a cattle farm, they will definitely meet the supply of calves in your county, even if they don't fatten their own cattle, they will also ensure yours. ”

"Okay, I'll thank Secretary General Xiao first."

The ferry came, people and cars got on the boat, Wuyang pulled Xiao Wangqi aside and said, "Lao Xiao, is there any money to be made in captivity like this?" ”

"Secretary, making money is for sure, it's a matter of earning more and earning less. If we don't provide the calves to the villagers, we may earn more. ”

Wuyang said: "Have you calculated the account?" is to sell 10,000 calves, and the profit is also within 8 million. ”

Xiao Wangqi smiled: "Secretary, what if we produce 200,000 calves a year? From calves to fat cows, the profit of each cow, even if it is 3,000 yuan, there is 600 million, cow dung is calculated to produce 1 kilogram per cow per day, when the stock is full, there are 400,000 cattle, there are 400 tons, even if it is 300 tons on average, it is not a problem to sell 500 yuan per ton, and it can be sold for 50 million yuan a year, but it is not sold for money, and it is good to apply it to our own fields. What's more, we can organize slaughter by ourselves, and the profit is higher than selling to dealers, and cowhides and bones can be sold for money. ”

"Lao Xiao, now there is a shortage of beef in the whole country, everyone knows that there is money to be made, and it is not a swarm of bees to raise cattle, won't the price come down in a few years?"

Xiao Wangqi smiled and said, "My senior secretary, when did you see that the price of a thing will go up and down?" By the way, there used to be Chinese cabbage and watermelon that were not valuable, but beef is different. When your capital is abundant and the price is low, we only slaughter bulls, and cows raise cubs, and when others can't afford to kill all the cows, isn't it our only one? ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Xiao, I have a cousin named Chen Dabao, he has been engaged in cattle selling and killing cattle for some years, but he still only has more than 10,000 cattle, or I did it when I didn't enter the civil service, I will tell you his mobile phone number, you talk to him about your thoughts." If he wants to do it, let him do it, and if he doesn't want to invest in me. If I invest, it must be at least 500,000 heads, and there is no upper limit. If he's a child, you'll work with me. ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "Secretary, who can be so bold as you, I simply won't go to him." I have signed contracts for more than 700,000 acres of rice fields in several counties, and I may have to sign some more, and I don't have time to manage this cattle farm, so I can only ask experts to manage it, how much salary can you charge? ”

"I don't care how much salary I pay to my employees, I just give you 5% of the shares anyway, and the salary and bonus are paid before the dividend."

"Secretary, there is a lot of investment in cattle farms, is depreciation in accordance with the "Accounting Law"?"

"It's for the best. In general, it's all up to you, and I don't take the initiative to ask about anything. Don't tell me. Of course. Except for those who have difficulties. ”

"Secretary. In this case, I will plan a cattle farm based on raising 1 million cattle, and I will also build a slaughterhouse, cold storage, roughage storage, concentrate storage, and establish my own transportation company and sales company. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "As long as you don't sell arms or drugs, you are in charge of everything, including planting high-quality rice." ”

"That's good. Secretary, when are you going to transfer 50 million to me? I'm going to get ready, I'll leave tomorrow and won't run around with you. ”

"In the evening, when you get to a place where you can get online, you can transfer money. What can you do with 50 million, I'll give you 500 million, if it's not enough, look for me. ”

Xiao Wangqi smiled and said, "Secretary, aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the money?" ”

"Lao Xiao, after our career rises, you will know how insignificant this money is, and at that time, you feel that more money and less money is just a symbol."

"Secretary. If I had that day, I quit this job. Enjoy life to the fullest. ”

"How do you want to enjoy life?"

"Go around the world, see, and live like an emperor."

Wuyang smiled: "Lao Xiao, you can work hard in this area tomorrow, you don't have to wait until the day when your career is successful." At that time, you may have a weak heart, as long as you live and work correctly. Your position, I will change your position to a researcher, you have no real power, there is no dispute with the world, you will not attract the attention of others. ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "Thank you, secretary." ”

Before getting into the car, Feng Yinghui asked: "Secretary, are you going to Fengshutan Village, where cattle are raised?" ”

"Okay, let's go for a spin." In fact, it doesn't matter if you go or not, but it's better to go, one is an affirmation of Feng Yinghui's work, and the other is to let Xiao Wangqi have an intuitive understanding of how to build a cowshed.

After walking less than two kilometers on the embankment, I came to the door of a farmer's house. On the right side of the gate, there is a straw pile 300 meters long, more than 10 meters wide, and more than 20 meters high, and enters the yard from the iron fence next to it, the yard is very large, and there are also several stacks of rough fodder such as sweet potato vines, peanut seedlings, and corn stalks, and then there is a long row of cowsheds, and there is a large straw pile behind the cowshed. Next to it is a small 3-storey building with a magnificent decoration, and a truck and a 5 Series BMW are parked in the ping.

The cowshed is built very simply, it is a red brick wall, the wall is built with some lattice windows, the wall is more than two meters high, it is a herringbone beam, and the top is covered with asbestos tiles. The middle is the corridor, on both sides is the cattle pen, close to the corridor to build a pool, each cattle pen is about 30 square meters, there are about 10 cows in it, put on the cow's nose with the reins, let them move in a small space, each cow has a feed pool and a pool, and there are some calves in the bullpen to move freely.

Feng Yinghui led a middle-aged man in his 40s to come, "Secretary, this is Boss Su, he was the first to start raising cattle in the village, and he is the one who raises the most cattle." ”

"Hello Boss Su, you have a lot of cattle here."

Boss Su smiled and said, "Hello Secretary Li. I have more than 2,000 cattle here, which is too small, and there are more than 5,000 breeding cattle for breeding at my father-in-law's house, which is a lot, but it is still not enough to sell. ”

Wuyang asked, "It's good to sell the shape shì, right?" ”

"Since the beginning of autumn, we have been able to sell as much as we have every day, and we have sold 3,000 heads this year. These in the column will be sold before the Spring Festival. ”

"Now that the price of beef is so good, you make a lot of money, right?"

"Secretary Li, the price of beef is indeed good now, but the cost is also increasing, and the price of feed is also very strong. I didn't kill cattle myself, and I made a lot of money for the butchers. For example, an 800-kilogram cow, I sell it for 9,000 yuan here, and the butcher can kill about 400 kilograms of beef when he buys it, selling it for 40 yuan per catty, plus cowhide and tripe, it can be sold for 16,000 yuan, which is much less than what I earn. ”

Wuyang said, "Then why don't you slaughter and sell beef yourself?" ”

"It's not easy, the butcher's expenses are quite a bit, and I don't have the energy to sell beef. The butchers are also from our village, old neighbors, and we can't go and rob them of their jobs. ”

Wuyang knows that this is the limitation of a home-based business. If you hire someone to manage it, in addition to the cost, it is not a problem to earn an extra 2,000 yuan per cow. But these people are very shrewd, he must have his own plans, and persuasion is useless. "Boss Su, you take the lead to get rich. Are there any requirements for the government? ”

"Secretary Li. Now there are subsidies from the state for professional pig farmers. We cattle farmers have never received a penny from the state. ”

Wuyang said: "This problem involves the country's industrial policy, and it is not something that the county government and the municipal government can change. The main reason is that our people are accustomed to eating pork, and the best-selling beef, that is, in recent years, the adjustment of the national industrial policy has not kept up with the changes in shape. ”

Boss Su said: "Since it is not something that the city government can solve, I won't talk about this matter." Secretary Li. You see that my yard is so narrow, I want to expand the scale, can you give some land? ”

Feng Yinghui said: "This is no problem, but it can't occupy land near your yard." A greenhouse vegetable base has been built on the other side of the river, and if the people in your village have this intention, the county government can grant you some land. ”

"Okay, then I'll discuss with everyone and move the cattle farm there. Secretary Feng, how many acres can each household approve at most? ”

"How many acres do you want?"

Boss Su said: "If the current scale is maintained, at least 20 acres are needed. If you want to expand, it would be best to have 50 acres. ”

"Okay. After you have discussed it, come to the county party committee to find me. ”

"Secretary Feng, more than 400 households in our village have gone to buy land, can you approve it?"

"No problem, let's set up a cattle base, whether it is your village or other villages, that is, other counties, other provinces, as long as you want to come here to raise cattle, we are welcome, the production of more cattle, can produce scale effect." At that time, the government will definitely give you the most favorable land transfer price. ”

Wuyang said: "Secretary Feng, Boss Su, if you are going to build a cattle breeding base, you must build a factory for the production and processing of beef, and send the products to the farmers' markets in the province and supermarkets across the country for sale, so as to ensure the smooth flow of sales channels." Only when the sales channels are unblocked, can production be developed in an orderly manner, and the impact of the market will be small, so that the industry can develop healthily. ”

Boss Su said: "Secretary Li, if you let us farmers do these things, I'm afraid we won't be able to learn." In the current situation of beef popularity, it is completely unnecessary. Otherwise, Secretary General Xiao is not looking for a friend to run a large-scale cattle farm, he must establish his own sales channels, and sell our finished cattle when they are good, and sell them according to market conditions when they are not good, so that they will not cause a backlog of products, nor do they need to spend financial and material resources to build another sales channel. Leaders, take a look, is this good? ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "There are pros and cons to doing this, the advantage is that there is no need to spend money to rebuild sales channels, and the disadvantage is that there is no supply when the sales form is good, and the products will be backlogged when it is bad, and there must be a lot of backlog of funds." ”

Wuyang said: "Lao Xiao, what you are looking for is a big boss, let him build a cold storage with a larger storage capacity, install cold storage when it is not good to sell, and then use the inventory when it is good to sell." Since it is a big boss, it should not be a problem to have such a backlog of funds, or if there is a problem, go to the bank for a loan. ”

"Okay, the secretary said so, that's it." Xiao Wangqi said with a smile.

Feng Yinghui said: "Secretary General Xiao, remember to provide calves to our county." ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "No problem. However, when our cattle farm was first built, Boss Su, you had to provide us with some breeding cattle. ”

Boss Su said: "The quantity you want must be very large, and we will definitely do our best." Now it is very well informed, and breeding cattle can be bought both at home and abroad. By the way, can you consider the traditional beef raised in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the appearance of the beef is frosty, the meat is delicious, and the taste is particularly good, which can be regarded as a world-famous delicacy? If we introduce some breeding cattle, they will definitely be popular in the domestic market, and the profits will be much higher than raising ordinary beef cattle. ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "This is a good way, now the beef produced in Australia is not as famous as the beef in Hyogo County, and it is sold for more than 200 yuan and 1 catty. Since you have this idea, I will ask my friend to invite you to go with me when the time comes. ”

Wuyang said: "It is a good thing to introduce high-quality breeds at home and abroad, but our local traditional cattle cannot be lost. Eat and eat, or this kind of yellow beef tastes good, whether it is fried, stewed, marinated, or hot pot, it is particularly fragrant, with a real beef flavor, and it is a good dish to accompany the wine. ”

Feng Yinghui said: "Secretary, in the mountainous areas of our county, farmers still raise cattle, and the amount of cattle raised has increased a lot compared with before. Although this kind of cattle has the shortcomings of long growth cycle and small size, it is resistant to roughage, and can grow up by eating thatch on the mountain, and the cost of feeding is relatively low, and the mountain people still have to rely on them to get rich. ”

Boss Su said: "Secretary Li, if you like to eat yellow beef, I can ask people to send some to the municipal party committee, you pay them, and also help them increase sales, which is a good thing for both parties." ”

Wuyang said: "Boss Su, don't do this kind of thing, it's a waste of money and labor." If I want to eat, I can ask my father to drive and buy it. He is retired at home, there is nothing to do anyway, and going outside is also good for his body. ”

Xiao Wangqi said: "Secretary, I will send someone to contact and open a stall specializing in selling yellow beef in the city's farmers' market, and the business will definitely be good." ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Okay, helping the mountain people sell beef and enriching the citizens' vegetable baskets is what you, the secretary general, should do." Not only yellow beef, local chicken, eggs and other local specialties are also very popular with the public, you can open stalls to sell, you can also put on the shelves of supermarkets. ”

Wu Changhui said: "These words of the secretary have pointed out the direction for the government to invigorate regional commodity circulation and strengthen the connection between production and consumption. ”

Wuyang said: "Mayor Wu, don't mention it so high, I'm just talking about things now." ”

Ding Xigang said: "This is the theory that has been produced through social practice, which in turn guides social practice, and you can't think of it while sitting in the office." Secretary, colleagues, I have been thinking about a question for the past two years, but there has been no obvious answer. With the work ideas of our new municipal party committee and municipal government, we have vigorously developed the economy of the urban area, especially after going to the grassroots level this time, I have become more strongly aware that the opportunity for us to develop the economy of various counties and urban areas has arrived. ”

Huang Xiaojun said: "Minister Ding, you are a theoretician, tell me about your high theory. ”

Ding Xigang said: "We have built so many factories in our urban area, we need raw materials for production, and workers need all kinds of materials for their lives, and in addition to producing their own products, our counties and districts should produce industrial raw materials and daily necessities around the needs of enterprises in the urban area, which is a good way to develop the rural economy." Also, people in the urban area can not only work, but also leisure and entertainment, we can build a number of farmhouses, as well as a variety of entertainment projects, which can not only solve the needs of leisure and entertainment, but also generate income, is a good way. ”

Wuyang said: "Minister Ding, your idea is very good. This time in each county, you will tell the secretary and county magistrates, let them organize contact with the enterprises in the urban area, what industrial raw materials are needed, and our counties and districts can produce, so as to establish a production base and sign a supply and marketing contract, so as not to make the enterprise reluctant to seek the near and far, increase the burden of the enterprise, but also make the vast number of rural areas have a way to make money, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, is a win-win situation. Minister Ding, have you finished what you just said? If not, just continue. ”

"Okay. My idea, the most important thing, is to rely on the needs of urban industry, establish a relatively complete production base of industrial raw materials and daily necessities in various counties and cities, and then gradually go out of Yihe and go to the whole country and the world. ”

"Well, this goal is based on reality and looks at the world, which can be used as the basic idea of the municipal party committee and municipal government to develop the Yihe economy. Secretary Feng, what do you think? (To be continued......)
