Chapter 60: There's a Chicken in a Pot
What are eggs used for? Different people have different answers, but the vast majority of people will say that it is for food. This question was found in the interview, written and oral examinations set by Lee Ki himself, but there were very few outstanding answers that satisfied Lee Ki.
The only student who said the highlight was Liu Ji, who is the general manager of Chenji Investment Group, and he gave an answer that Li Jidu did not expect. He said that eggs are used to hatch chicks, and when the chicks grow up, they regenerate eggs to hatch more chicks; As long as someone buys more than the cost of raising chickens, they can make money far from making profits, and if they can make more money than the chicken farmer's expenses, they can raise more chickens, so that the whole family and even the township can make a fortune from raising chickens.
This answer weakened the most answers that answered that they were boiled and eaten, or that hatched chicks were sold for a higher price. Many children from merchant families did not realize that eggs could become primitive capital, and they did not regard the slightest bit of capital as an opportunity to change their fate, so Li Ji and Guanzhong attached great importance to this Liu Ji. Opening a small stove every day naturally allowed Liu Ji to finish ahead of schedule and get the certificate issued by the academy, and then naturally entered the investment evaluation team of Chenji Group and rose to the high position of the president of the group step by step.
Liu Ji also realized his promise and ambition after entering the Chenji Group, and used the funds and technology in his hands to help his family and villagers establish the first large-scale aquaculture base. As a result, Yongxing Junlu's hometown in Yuzhou became wealthy, and a corn base opened near Xijing provided feed and coarse grains for the breeding bases of many surrounding state capitals for fertilization and cost reduction. Driven by the Liu Ji family, more than 50 large-scale breeding bases and eight livestock and poultry wholesale centers suddenly appeared in the originally impoverished Yuzhou. The strategy of focusing on cattle and chicken raising has also been adjusted in time to fully blossom, and cooperatives in various places have basically begun to make big moves, launching large loans that exceed the scale of Chenji's capital ten times. A large amount of Chenji Group's credit has been converted into funds for issuing loans to farmers in subordinate cooperatives to transform production.
All localities have set off an upsurge in the construction of breeding bases, and the development of livestock and poultry breeding, aquaculture, and special breeding industries in accordance with local conditions. After receiving a loan, one of Liu Ji's relatives made a fortune by building a decent greenhouse to produce out-of-season vegetables and subtropical flowers that needed to be heated. For a while, the price of surprisingly expensive flat glass has risen by 50%.
When Li Ji visited the Chenji brand breeding base for the high-end market, he tasted the high-grade beef produced in the base with Liu Jiao and other otaku.
Li Ji joked with a smile: "The brand founded by Lao Sun suddenly raised the taste of the Great Song Empire from the feudal [***] society to the post-monopoly capitalist era." A serving of five taels of high-quality beef tenderloin costs 30 yuan, and you can buy white rice produced in one acre of land. Do you say that this is an ordinary high-priced commodity, this is simply a money opportunity tailored for the scratching bag of the rich show. The premium beef melts in the mouth, the price is 50 to 100 yuan, and the daily limit is 3,000 catties, and it is necessary to supply ten urban brand stores distributed in Wujing and Wuwulu. Didn't you say that Sun Chang hadn't eaten this kind of haute cuisine, how did he know about these methods? ”
"None of us have ever eaten high-end sky-high food, Sun Chang read that marketing psychology book some time ago, plus some of his hearsay experience in his previous life, it shouldn't be difficult to copy these fancy intestines, right?"
"We are balanced, and the absence of the Internet is the only difference between us and the next generation. All electrical appliances are used in mansions, we eat special food, drink thousand-year-old puree wine, wear handmade clothes made of the highest quality fabrics, sit in luxury elongated carriages that are hard to buy, read rare manuscripts of national treasures, use laboratories and research instruments built with great material resources, and listen to our lectures are all future billionaires and political oligarchs. The only thing that cannot be satisfied is the extravagant hope of changing the destiny of the nation. In order to meet this extravagant hope, we have come to this day, and how many hardships and costs have we paid. Wu Qi signaled that he was full and stopped Liu Jiao, who was picking up vegetables.
"Why do you feel sick as soon as you are full, isn't the medicinal material base in Bozhou not yet built? Came back so early? ”
"My heart and liver haven't arrived yet, what are the panic of those bases that can only be built with water milling? The first batch of emergency medical nurses who graduated last year have received a good response in various places, and more than 50,000 patients have been treated for acute inflammation and major surgery. But all the antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicines we produce have been exhausted, and the warehouse has bottomed out. If we don't fix the antibiotic production line, I'm afraid that those doctors and nurses won't be able to quell the protests of the patients. ”
"Don't say these beautiful words, it's better to spend on saving the poor if you have the heart to save the emergency. A poor person who does not have meat to eat is certainly sub-healthy. Unhygienic environment, night blindness, premature aging, and low immunity caused by insufficient vitamins and proteins are the main causes of unnatural deaths. Didn't you read the national mortality report some time ago? Schistosoma and parasites in the south are the cause of the highest mortality rate. In the north, there are mostly internal infections caused by low immunity, whether it is gastroenterology or respiratory medicine, which is highly fatal. What can be avoided is not to treat with medication and wait for recurrence, but to improve the environment to eradicate the source of the disease. You should not spend too much energy on saving people, but more on health care and hygiene promotion. How many people can one person save?
Bian Que said that his eldest brother had the best medical skills, and the second brother was worse, and he was the worst of the three. He also said, 'The eldest brother cured the disease before the onset of the disease, and the patient himself did not feel sick at that time, but the eldest brother took medicine to eradicate the root of the disease, making it difficult for his medical skills to be recognized, so he was not famous, but was respected in our family. My second brother's treatment was at the beginning of the disease, the symptoms were not very obvious, and the patient did not feel pain, and the second brother was able to cure the disease, so that the villagers thought that the second brother was only very good at curing minor diseases. When I was in a very serious condition, the patient was in great pain and the patient's family was anxious. At this time, they saw me piercing the meridians, bleeding with a needle, or applying poison to the affected area to fight the poison, or performing major surgery to point directly at the lesion, so that the condition of the seriously ill patient could be relieved or quickly cured, so I became famous all over the world. After-the-fact control is not as good as in-process control, and in-process control is not as good as ex-ante control, but unfortunately most operators fail to realize this, and wait until the wrong decision causes significant losses before seeking to make up for it. Make up for it well, of course, it is to become famous, but more often than not, it is too late.
So you have to devote yourself to health care rather than surgery! People who have meat to eat and have a balanced nutrition generally rarely get sick. I think antibiotics are sufficient, and in the future, let your doctors halve the use of antibiotics and use them with proprietary Chinese medicine. Otherwise, the germs will form drug resistance too quickly, and I will not be able to return to the sky. The acceleration of the expansion is not possible, it can only be done as planned. At best, I can guarantee that the expansion line will not slow down at the planned pace. ”
"That's right! What the boss said makes sense! President Hoover said that every American should have two chickens in their pots, and every family should drive a car to be considered middle-class. Without food, clothing, and clothing, how can we achieve a capital explosion in the future. ”
"Even if there are two chickens, the feed is not enough, one chicken is enough, with more pork or fish, and the other chicken will lay eggs, supplement the nutrition of the child!" Li Ji joked.
"Are you going to do a plan to double the national protein intake? Meat without milk? I'm dying of laughter, don't you want to be free? Wu Qi didn't bother to talk about Li Ji.
"You haven't forgotten our three-step tradition, have you? The first step is to realize that the interested families we directly face have sufficient nutrition and food and clothing, this step has been realized, the second part is extended to their relatives, friends and families, this step is underway, and the third part is to fully realize the food and clothing of all the people of the empire, so that everyone has meat to eat, and basically eliminate malnutrition. And the free soy milk is only used as a substitute for breakfast and lunch milk for elementary school students in the compulsory education stage. We still can't avoid this money, and I'm sure you can afford it too! ”
"Could it be that the last time you said that the price of meat in Jiangdong was going to fall because we set up breeding bases in four counties in Jiangbei? Isn't the feed not yet in place? I'm afraid that the freight from Guanzhong to the corn will not be able to stand it! ”
"It doesn't matter, I used the return empty grain ship back to Jiangdong, and the freight was very low. Many large landlords in Jiangdong are afraid that we will exploit the land in the north and the Central Plains, and as long as the grain in Wujing can be satisfied with the nearby supply of our high-yield farmland, they will lose their greatest source of wealth. We still mainly trade in coarse grains for fine grains. Even if they are unwilling, whether they are wrong or not, this method of threatening their finances will not last long, in exchange for the continued sale of fine grains to Wujing by the large landlord class, who have the right to speak, in exchange for the continued sale of fine grains to Wujing to support us. Meat has never been enough in this magical land of China. We are well aware of the energy and enthusiasm of the Chinese when it comes to eating. ”
"Then what are you talking about the rise in cotton prices?"
"That is the next big move related to industrial upgrading. Aren't you establishing a special medicinal material base, the same recipe, the price of crude drugs is expensive to buy or the price is expensive to process into pills and sell them. Isn't it just that I hope to accommodate labor through the development of deep processing to maintain food prices? If food prices fluctuate with supply and demand, will we still make a fart? How much does it take to hoard at a good harvest and sell at a bad harvest? I don't control supply by artificially controlling demand. Only by dividing labor and diverting labor and carrying out industrial upgrading can we reduce the supply of agricultural labor and suppress the excessively rapid growth of grain. If there is too much oversupply, we will lose money.
In order to control supply, it is necessary to adopt a multi-pronged approach; to reduce the land for growing grain, it is necessary to rely on the increase in the price of cash crops, and to reduce the labor force for growing grain, it is necessary to rely on the diversion of manufacturing and service industries. The same is true for controlling demand, making more wine, raising more pigs, having more children, and exporting. I believe that as long as we endure the losses and profits in the first few years, we will be able to make huge profits when we get bigger. ”
