The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 59 The Opportunity Comes
In fact, some time before July [-]th, the major chick hatcheries have realized that the sales of chick chicks have begun to shrink.

After July [-]th, as the bird flu was getting more and more popular in the media, the price of the live chicken market began to collapse like a cliff.

In less than five days, no one wanted the chicken for seven or eight yuan a catty.

Wang Shaodong has a deep memory of the big crash in the live chicken market in Luzhong City.

In Wang Shaodong's impression, there have been two major crashes in the live chicken market, one in 2002 and one in 2006, both caused by bird flu.

Commonly known as avian influenza, also known as European chicken plague, is the number one enemy of the poultry farming industry.

Two enemies of the poultry farming industry, one is European chicken plague and the other is Asian chicken plague.Asian chicken plague is also called Newcastle disease, and when it gets caught, the whole group dies, leaving no one behind.

These two types of chicken plague are mainly prevented by vaccination. In addition, some antibiotics should be taken to improve the resistance of chickens to prevent and control the outbreak.Of course, now Wang Shaodong's family no longer adopts any practical method of antibiotics, but the method of using medicinal materials to make soup to improve the resistance of the chickens.

In order to ensure that his family has sufficient sources of medicinal materials, Wang Shaodong took the initiative to sign a purchase contract with several salvia growers. From now on, these salvia growers will suddenly earn more than 1000 yuan per mu of land.

As soon as July [-]th passed, within a few days, the price of live chickens plummeted so that the four farmers in the entire poultry farming area couldn't hold their heads up.

According to their current breeding level, the cost line is the cost line for the delivery price of chickens in a cart to about 4 yuan, and if it falls further, they will lose money.

They don't know that when their chickens grow up to be slaughtered, the price of the big truck is only a little over 2 yuan.Not to mention the price of the big cart, the retail price in the rural market is only four yuan.

Only counting on retail sales, the chickens sold are not enough to feed a large flock for a day, and it costs a lot of money.

If you want to sell chickens by retail, unless the market price of live chickens is very high, reaching [-] yuan a catty, the profit is quite considerable.

And common people have another characteristic, the cheaper things are, the less they will buy them.

The price of live chickens has plummeted, and the market for chicks is of course not much better.

The chicks originally ordered by major farms, seeing the situation is not good, even refused to accept the deposit, and refused to accept the goods.

The chicks in the hatchery were harvested at least one month in advance, and the price of these eggs was at a high level at that time.Adding the hatching cost and labor cost, the cost price of a chick chick is about RMB 1.

But now, those large farms don't need chicks, so what if so many chicks are hatched?
As a result, the phone calls to sell chicken seedlings came one after another, but the results were very low.

It took five days for the price of chicken fry to fall below 2 yuan, but it only took 3 days for the price of chicken fry to fall from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

The hatchery can't hold on, they simply don't have enough space to raise so many chicks.Among other things, the two vaccinations in the first week will cost [-] cents per chick.And if the epidemic prevention is not good, it will be very risky if these batches of chicks are raised in the future.

Therefore, the biggest problem in the hatchery is to dispose of these chicks as soon as possible.

Chicks eat feed!
Moreover, the chicks eat more and more feed, and the more they eat, the more they can eat.2000 catties of feed is enough for 20 chicks today, 30 catties tomorrow, and 35 catties the day after tomorrow... In less than ten days, they will have fifty or sixty catties.

You can't buy it for three yuan, you can't buy it for 2 yuan, you can't sell it for 8 yuan, you can't sell it for 2 yuan, you can sell it for 8... In the end, the price of chicks dropped to 2 cents a piece, and no one wanted it.

On July 2002th of the lunar calendar in 25, just ten days after the Ghost Festival, Li Hong called.

It was Wang Fumin who answered the phone. When he asked, he heard that it was Wang Shaodong's Uncle Hongzi, and he became enthusiastic when he spoke.

Wang Shaodong was on the side, listening to his father's words, it seemed that it was Li Hong who was calling, so he rushed over.

"Hongzi, what have you been up to lately? When will you be free to come over and play?"

"What? All right, our whole family will go to your place to play when we have time, and we will also go to see the Confucian Mansion, Confucius Temple and Confucian Temple."

"What? Only thirty cents each? We don't..."

When Wang Shaodong heard his father want to say that he didn't want chickens, Wang Shaodong hurriedly snatched the phone and said, "Uncle Hongzi, are the chickens down to [-] cents now? Good, good, I want twenty-four thousand." Thousands, just deliver the goods the day after tomorrow!"

Soon, Wang Shaodong hung up the phone.

Wang Shaodong hung up the phone, but Wang Fumin was dumbfounded.

"Dong, Dongzi, are you crazy?"

Wang Shaodong knew in his heart that those chick salesmen were now selling chicken chicks all over the world, and the prices were ridiculously low.There are only two such good opportunities in my memory of the 15 years of my previous life, and one of them is now.

All my previous preparations were for this moment.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but when the opportunity comes, most people don't realize it at all.

Thirty cents is already the lowest price for chicks.

Because, the commission for the chick salesman is [-] cents per chicken.Of course, when the chickens are seriously unsalable, the commission of the chicken dealers may be only about [-] cents, that is to say, the price of the chickens coming out of the hatchery may be only [-] or [-] cents.As for giving away for free, it is basically impossible, because even if the chicken hatchery cremates all the chicks, it is impossible to give them to the chicken farm for free.

The chicks are cremated, and there are no chickens in the chicken farm. In the future, chicks from the hatchery will be bought.

"Dad, I'm not crazy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Wang Fumin had a gloomy face: "What good opportunity?"

"The price of chicks is so low, what does this mean? It means that no farm dares to buy chickens. We buy chickens at this time, and when it comes time to sell them, we will have a monopoly market, and we can have the final say on the price .”

"However, the bird flu is so fierce now that the common people don't eat chicken anymore. Let's not say we want to get chicken now, it's the chickens we raise in the greenhouse now. I don't know if anyone will want it..." What Wang Fumin said was actually the worry of other farmers.

Wang Shaodong said confidently: "The chickens we serve now are exactly five months into the end of the year, and they happen to be the roosters enshrined at the end of the year. Every household has to buy roosters to worship on the family table. Could it be that this custom handed down from generation to generation will be changed because of bird flu?" gone?"

When Wang Fumin heard it, he immediately felt that what his son said made sense.

"But, twenty-four thousand chickens, where shall we put them?"

Wang Shaodong stood up, looking into the distance with piercing eyes: "I have my own way."
