My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 116 Survival Base
Early the next morning, Meng Lang followed Lao Meng to a pig farm on the west side of the village.

After entering the iron gate, I saw a little old man with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a blue coat and black rain boots, carrying a bucket of feed, as if he was about to feed the pigs.

"Uncle Gen!"

"Yo! It's Xiaolang, it's rare to come here today."

The little old man showed a deeply wrinkled smile.

Although Uncle Gen was much older than Lao Meng, but he was of the same generation as Lao Meng, and could be regarded as a relative within five servings. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he watched Meng Lang and the others grow up.

"Well! I'm not going home now. I'm here to hang out with my dad. I heard that you guys are fighting again?" Meng Lang didn't shy away from it, and asked directly with a smile.

"Hi! That's not the case. A few of us saw that the pork market is not good recently, so we decided to raise fewer pigs this year and repair and repair the factory building.

Your father objected, saying that the market would be sunny for three days and rainy for two days, and the market would come back when the next batch of piglets were fattened up. He also said that expanding the scale of breeding can reduce costs. Anyway, they all have their own opinions. "

Um!The situation is clear at a glance, a conservative conservative and a radical young man.

"Well, I think what you said is quite reasonable."

"You know how to make love." Uncle Gen cursed with a smile.

"Is the price of pork very low recently?" Meng Lang asked again.

Before I went shopping with Xiao Yu, the price of pork in the market seemed to have dropped a lot.

"That's right! Now the price of live pigs is only 5 yuan a catty. If the price can't go up, I'm afraid we'll have to drink the northwest wind this year!" Uncle Gen shook his head and sighed.

"It's normal for the price to fluctuate, so it's impossible for it to be so low all the time. The country will definitely not let everyone do business at a loss, right?"

At this time, Lao Meng also changed into a set of work clothes and came out to present his own arguments.

Um!In short, we must trust the party.

"Then we have to wait for the policy to come out. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"When the policy comes out, the day lily will be cold."

Meng Lang followed the two of them and started strolling around the arena, listening to the two quarreling with a smile on their faces, and occasionally beating them up.

The environment of the pig farm is naturally not too beautiful, and the indescribable smell of ammonia may be able to dissuade 99% of young people.

This pig farm does not occupy a large area, about 300 square meters, and there are more than 100 sows and seven or eight boars in it.

Including Lao Meng, the nominal "general manager", there are a total of 5 workers, all of whom are shareholders. It is a typical rural self-propagation and self-support model, that is, no external purchase of piglets, relying on natural breeding, and self-sufficiency.

The annual slaughter volume is about 1000 pigs. As for the profit earned, it is highly related to the price of live pigs and feed at that time.

When the market is good, each pig can make hundreds of profits, and when the market is bad, it can even lose money.

At present, there are five shareholders in the pig farm. Every year in the past few years, [-]% of the shares in Lao Meng's hands can be divided into one hundred thousand yuan. This is already a considerable income in rural areas.

In 2016, the price of live pigs soared, and everyone made a lot of money relying on this pig farm. That year, Meng Lang had just graduated, and Lao Meng had the idea of ​​letting him come back to inherit his father's business.

In the end, everyone knew that Meng Lang trembled and was so frightened that he rode alone for thousands of miles...

Although there was a genius from Yenching University who successfully counterattacked by selling pork, the next door WISCO diversified into the pig industry.

But going home to engage in new agriculture, open online stores, even live broadcasts, is it better than raising pigs?
Like many young people, Meng Lang, who has just graduated and has not been beaten by the society, is unwilling to be a professional pig breeder in the countryside.

In the past two years, Lao Meng's attitude has also softened, and he began to change his words. He hoped that Meng Lang would find a solid job in a nearby town, take the civil service exam or become a language teacher.

The main reason is that the market has been sluggish in the past two years, and the profits of pig farms have naturally plummeted.

This dealt a huge blow to Lao Meng's ambition to make the pig farm bigger and stronger, and even a family business.

In fact, the price of live pigs has not risen in the past two years. Apart from the fact that more and more imported pork has begun to enter the country to earn profits, another major factor is the surge in the supply of live pigs.

Although a lot of pig production capacity has been eliminated due to environmental protection in the past two years, whether it is the expansion of production capacity of small and medium-sized pig farms in rural areas, or some production capacity eliminated due to environmental protection, it has little impact on the supply of pigs.

It is those large agricultural and animal husbandry groups that really have a substantial impact on the supply and demand of the live pig market.

According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2018, the supply of live pigs of listed domestic agricultural and animal husbandry companies surged by 135%!

The scale of these large agricultural and animal husbandry groups is not small, but their pig raising and supply are still increasing rapidly, coupled with the cost advantage of large-scale farming.

Their increased pig raising and slaughtering have squeezed out the living space of small and medium-sized pig farms in rural areas.

According to forecasts, the supply of live pigs of large-scale pig farming groups will increase by at least 20% this year, while the output of small rural pig farms will drop sharply by at least 15%.

It is precisely because of the continuous surge in the supply of live pigs that the relationship between supply and demand is out of balance.

Since the price of pigs began to fall in 2017, the price of pigs has plummeted in 2018!
In the transition from an agricultural country to an industrialized country, "sheep cannibalize people" will always be an unavoidable problem.

Industrialization will naturally increase production efficiency, so the more highly industrialized, the fewer agricultural and animal husbandry workers will be required, which will lead to large-scale farmers going bankrupt.

We must know that there are still 40% of the rural population in the country. Once these people go bankrupt and there are not enough jobs in the cities and towns, it will be a huge social hidden danger.

So in many cases, it is not that Huaguo is not capable of large-scale planting and breeding like foreign developed countries. When a button is pressed, the machine starts rumbling, and the rest is reading newspapers and drinking coffee.

Instead, doing so would be a devastating blow to the small peasant economy.

Therefore, there must be a transition in everything. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If you take too many steps, it will easily hurt your hips.

But this is only a temporary compromise of the times. As long as society is still progressing, the trend of large-scale production will be irreversible.

Standing on a high hill, overlooking the factory building below and the surrounding hills, Meng Lang wrote and drew in the notebook he carried with him.

"I said, why are you here today?" Lao Meng's voice came from behind.

Meng Lang turned his head to look, and at some point, Lao Meng followed.

Lao Meng glanced at the notebook in his hand, "Those who know think you are my son, those who don't know think you are the leader who came to inspect."

"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking, this pig farm is thriving under your wise leadership, but the pollution problem is a bit serious."

"Nonsense, which pig farm can not pollute the environment." Lao Meng rolled his eyes.

"Well! So for the future of our Mengjia Village's green mountains and green waters, I am going to give you an investment to transform this place into an ecological pig farm!"

Meng Lang swiped his hand.

"Here is a pig farm, and several biogas tanks and manure treatment areas can be built over there. An artificial lake can be dug in the downstream water source to raise fish, and several fruit and vegetable greenhouses can be built next to it. Some rich recipes like chicken and duck..."

"Stop, stop!" Lao Meng interrupted him speechlessly. "Investment? Where are you going to attract investment?"

"Do you think I don't know what an ecological farm looks like? The question is, do you know how much it costs? You asked me to use a small pig farm to engage in ecological farming. Are you out of your mind?"

"Hmm..." Meng Lang thought for a moment and asked, "I remember Dad, you own [-]% of the shares, right? How much did you invest in this factory?"

"Around 15, what's the matter?"

"15...Then I will give you two plans, one is to buy their shares at twice the original investment amount, and change it to employ contract employees.

The second is to wait for the investment to come in and dilute the shares in their hands in equal proportions. What do you think, Dad? "

"Can you really attract investment?"

Seeing Meng Lang's serious discussion, Lao Meng was a little unsure if this guy was joking.

"Can I still lie to you? You have the impression that I am a braggart? It is because our company just wants to enter the breeding industry."

Lao Meng thought for a while, and thought that maybe the boss of Meng Lang Company was really rich, so he hesitated and asked, "How much investment can you bring in?"

"The first phase of investment... 1000 million." Meng Lang thought for a while.

Lao Meng stared, 1000 million?Still the first issue? !

This pig farm has a total investment of 15 yuan, and you give me a total capital increase of 1000 million yuan.

Is this a matter of dilution?This is the problem of being washed away by the flood!

"No, what exactly does your company boss want to do?"

What do you want?
Meng Lang sighed slightly.

What else can I do?Let's see if we can build a doomsday survival base...
