Chapter 512: Cattle Farm Strategy
Zhang Yi took Li Hui and Xu Rou and the other four people out to have fun, and they could play all the places in the Guanzhong area. Music-Text-
After returning from playing, Zhang Yi rested for two days and began to get busy.
Although he is a fairy, there are still many people under him who live on him, and he still has to be busy, even if he is a shopkeeper, but he can't ignore everything.
And now, Zhang Yi is looking at the data sent to him by the fat man.
Although it is not the era of big data, some data is still very conducive to Zhang Yi's judgment, and the data collected by him is the situation of the beef cattle he transported back to the fat man.
After the beef cattle were brought back, the first batch had already been bred and had already begun to be raised.
Some time ago, Bu Fatzi had just started selling the first batch of beef cattle, so Zhang Yi asked him to collect some data to observe the situation.
The law of the Tang Dynasty does not allow the slaughter of cultivated cattle, but those consuming cattle do not belong to cultivated cattle, and they are traded with the Tibetan people, and they are allowed to be slaughtered and eaten for meat.
And people can't help but eat meat, especially in this era of pork, beef has become a luxury.
Therefore, the first batch of fifty cattle slaughtered by Bu Fat Man was sold out in the first place, and they also received a lot of orders, which were simply in short supply.
Like the duck farms in Zhangjiazhuang now, although these cattle are regarded as beef cattle, Zhang Yi now values breeding the most.
If breeding can be done well, they will be able to breed more cattle and sell them in the future, and if they don't pay attention to breeding now, and see that the market is so good, they will slaughter and sell cattle, which is just a waste of fish, which is not conducive to long-term development.
Looking at the various data handed in by the fat man, Zhang Yi picked up the pen and began to write some instructions on the paper.
For a night, Zhang Yi was constantly making instructions, and at the same time, he would recalculate and revise those who were not satisfied.
Zhang Yi doesn't want to be able to let everyone in the world eat the beef of his farm, but he wants to ensure that the entire Guanzhong region does not have to worry about meat.
As long as you have money, you can buy good consumable beef.
After completing the instructions, Zhang Yi fell asleep, and the next day he rarely didn't sleep lazy, but got up early in the morning and went to find the fat man.
Men who do things seriously are always so handsome and charming, once Zhang Yi gets serious, he is indeed very persistent, even if he almost stayed up all night last night, but he can still get up early in the morning.
After finding the fat man, Zhang Yi directly handed the instructions he made last night to the fat man and asked him to see if there was any problem.
The fat man looked at the data written by Zhang Yi, and asked with some doubts: "Isn't it a bit conservative to do this?" ”
Zhang Yi's instructions on the paper stated that the number of beef cattle sold in each batch should not exceed 15, and that three to four batches should be sold every month.
At this rate, they can only sell about 50 beef cattle a month, which is far from meeting the market demand.
Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "In the long run, if we start selling in large quantities now, although we can get a high market share, the scale of our cattle farm will stagnate, unless we can get a large amount of cattle from Tubo again, otherwise our upper limit will be like this." ”
In the last economic war, Zhang Yi got a total of more than 5,000 cattle from Sahazhuo, of which half was left to reward Tang Jun, and the other half he brought back to Chang'an for the fat man to open a cattle farm.
Excluding the cattle that fell ill and died on the road, only about 2,000 cattle-consumed cattle actually survived.
After half a year of cultivation, the first batch of small consumption cattle has been born, and more than 500 small consumption cattle have been born.
It was precisely because of the birth of this batch of consuming cattle that Zhang Yi made up his mind to call the fat man to start selling a batch of consuming beef to try and see how the market was going.
According to the growth rate of beef cattle, beef cattle that are generally born for a year and a half can already be slaughtered and sold, of course, it is even better if they can be raised for two years.
According to Zhang Yi's estimates, his beef cattle can give birth to more than 1,000 calves every year.
In this way, if he wants to continue to expand the size of his cattle farm, he must sell less beef cattle per year than he produces per year.
And the number of fifty or sixty heads per month is just right.
And the meat (excluding bones, etc.) that each beef cow can produce is about 200 catties, and each batch of 15 heads is about 3,000 catties, four batches a month, and there can be more than 10,000 catties over there.
That's not a small amount.
And now is just the policy at the beginning, when the first batch of beef cattle grows up, Zhang Yi will only keep the cows, and the bulls only need to leave some as breeding cattle, and the rest can be slaughtered, and the number they sell will be adjusted upwards at that time.
Step fat man can become a successful businessman, and his brain is naturally very good, as soon as Zhang Yi said this, he immediately understood what was going on.
If cattle farms want to be more profitable, if they want to have more influence, if they want to form a monopoly, then they have to expand.
Otherwise, if they keep this scale, although there will still be a shortage of demand, but when others see that raising cattle is so profitable, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will also go to Tubo to get hundreds of consuming cattle to come back and raise them.
At that time, only a few such people need to appear, then their industry position will be challenged, as long as there are people competing with themselves in the market, then it will be difficult for them to form a price advantage.
So even if they can make a lot of money now, Zhang Yi and they have to put it first, and their top priority is to expand the scale of the cattle farm.
At that time, if the cattle farm can have four or five thousand head of cattle, and can produce two thousand head a year, then who can compete with them.
If someone really wants to compete with them, then they can use the price war to drag each other to death.
Zhang Yi has seen too many such methods in later generations, and it can be said to be a means of rotten streets.
However, this method will still have a good effect at this time.
The fat man rushed to him and would not doubt Zhang Yi's decision, since Zhang Yi said so, and he also saw the power of it, so he immediately did not hesitate to implement it.
If they can really form a monopoly in this industry, then they will not have the final say in this industry in the future, and they will have an absolute advantage in pricing and all aspects.
