Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 31 Chapter 31
"In the past two years, the eggs on the market cost ten cents a catty, and I couldn't buy them if I wanted to. This year, the price control of eggs has been lifted. If this happens, the price of eggs will definitely rise, so I plan to set up a chicken farm to sell eggs! "As for the entrepreneurial project, Li Lei has already thought about it.

According to the data in memory, by 1985, the price of eggs would have risen to 1987 jin, and in [-] to [-]. Raising chickens and selling eggs will have great potential in the next few years!
"When I was in the Special Economic Zone, I ordered a batch of American laying hens. I contacted there last time, and the goods will be delivered soon, so I plan to use this time to build the chicken farm! See if you want it tonight Call Uncle Qisheng and Xinwang over to discuss it?"

This is the reason why Li Lei wanted to go home and start a business. If you want to engage in agriculture, you don’t have a solid foundation in the local area. Otherwise, how can you get land for business?How to hire people, how to ensure that no one will harass your industry?

In other places, even if these problems can be solved, it will take a lot of effort; but in his hometown, Li Qiyun is the principal of the middle school, and there are few people in the entire Liushu Commune who don't show his face. can be solved.

There is also Xing Shuwang in the county to take care of him, so Li Lei doesn't have to worry about getting into big troubles at all, even if there are some small things, they can be resolved by relying on these relationships.

"Since you want to do it, then do it. If you can earn money, you can also get Xinwang, he will soon become a father, and there will be more places to spend money in the future!" Li Qiyun got up and went to call someone , Wang Fenglian hurried to the kitchen to cook.

After a while, Li Qisheng brought Li Xinwang over. They were drinking and talking. After Li Lei finished speaking, Li Qisheng asked curiously, "Why do you have to buy a chicken from the United States?"

"Uncle, how many eggs can our chickens lay in a year?" Li Lei asked.

Holding the wine cup, Li Qisheng recalled, "Let's think about it, our domestic chickens have been laying an egg in the past two days; after a while, they won't lay any more eggs, and when the autumn is cooler, some will start to lay again, but most of them won't." They lay eggs again, and they don’t lay eggs again until spring, so they can lay [-] to [-] eggs a year, depending on whether the chickens hold their nests or not.”

"Well, that's almost the number!" Li Qiyun nodded.

"Laying fifty to eighty eggs a year can still make money, but it's too few. Do you know how many eggs can be laid by the breed of laying hens that lay the most eggs in the United States?" Li Lei raised three fingers.

"One hundred and three? So many? Impossible!" Li Qisheng didn't believe it at all.

"Not one hundred and thirteen, but three hundred!" Li Lei shook his head.

"Xiao Lei, what are you kidding? Three hundred eggs are laid a year. Isn't that almost one every day all year round?" Wang Fenglian works at home every day, and knows best how many eggs a hen can lay.

“美国的海兰蛋鸡吃得少、下蛋多还好养活，60周龄之前产蛋量为246枚，60至74周龄时为317枚，74至80周龄时为344枚，平均下来差不多两斤饲料就能产一斤鸡蛋！比咱们的土鸡下蛋多多了！”

Hailan laying hens have been introduced into China since the 80s, and once occupied 70.00% of the laying hens market in China. Later, due to the control of breeders and other reasons, domestic breeds of laying hens such as "Jinghong No. [-]" and "Dawu Jinfeng" were cultivated , the market share of Hailan laying hens slowly declined.

Liu Yonghao and the others raise red polo chickens. This kind of chicken is delicious, but the egg production is not high. It is only suitable for broiler chickens and not for layer hens.

According to Li Lei's analysis, although the living standards of ordinary people have improved to a certain extent, the chicken market is not as big as the egg market for the time being. The profit of raising laying hens is definitely higher than that of broiler chickens, so he decided to introduce Hailan laying hens.

"How does this American chicken grow? Can it lay so many eggs?" After opening the country, everyone can vaguely feel the gap between China and the United States, but many people can't tell what the difference is, and today these Farmers intuitively felt this gap. It turns out that even American chickens lay more eggs than our chickens!

"Just like the 'Aifeng No. [-]' we planted, it was bred by scientists!" Chickens have lived from the Jurassic period to the present, not to lay eggs for humans, so in order for chickens to produce more eggs, it is naturally indispensable efforts of scientists.

Henry Agard Wallace, a graduate of Iowa State College, was an agricultural newspaper editor and chief writer since 1924; he later became an agricultural expert and experimented with high-yielding corn varieties, resulting in a major breakthrough in plant genetics , so as to engage in the business of hybrid corn and obtain high profits.

After having money, Wallace spent some time in the political arena, serving as Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture and then Vice President.

In 44, he visited China and had talks with Chang Kaishen. After seeing what the Guo Party did, Wallace concluded that Chang Kaishen was still living in the 17th century and was not capable of taking on the tasks of the [-]th century; and It contributed to the contact between the US military observation team and Yan'an.

After Roosevelt's death, Wallace and Truman, who leaned to the left, were at odds with each other, so they were dismissed; after a short period of political activities, Wallace quit politics and spent most of the rest of his life studying on a farm in New York Produce eggs and research and grow corn.

The Hailan International Company founded by him has successively cultivated fine varieties such as W-98 white shell hens, Hailan brown brown shell hens, and Hailan silver brown brown shell hens.

The number of laying hens sold by Hy-Line International Co., Ltd. in the United States accounts for 80% of the US market and more than 50% of the international market.

In 1978, Hy-Line International was acquired by the German Roman Group. Since then, the international laying hen market has been monopolized by the Roman Group and the Dutch Handeke Animal Breeding Company.

After listening to Li Lei tell the story of Henry Agard Wallace and Hy-Line laying hens, everyone was also moved, "I never thought that there are so many ways for a hen to lay eggs!"

Li Qiyun thought more, "Why is the Hailan company so kind? Would he sell us the breeder chickens? He is not afraid that we will buy his laying hens, and no one will buy his eggs?"

"That's right!" Li Qisheng also slapped his thigh, "If I have such a good laying hen, I guarantee that I won't sell any of them, just the eggs!"

"People won't buy eggs and go back to hatch chicks?" Li Xinwang retorted.

"Uh, then I'll specialize in selling preserved eggs and tea eggs, and I'll sell the eggs after they're cooked!" Li Qisheng had quite a few ways.

"Do you think that if I bought the breeder chickens from Hailan Company, then used the eggs laid by the breeder chickens to incubate the chicks, and then used the chicks to lay eggs, I would not need to buy breeder chickens from Hailan Company in the future?" Li Lei asked road.

Everyone nodded, isn't this obvious?

"Hehe, Hailan Company will not be so kind! This method will not work!"
