Chapter 36 Chicken You Are Too Expensive
Huang Yaohong got off the car in embarrassment, and could smell the smell of chicken feces from a long distance away. When he saw Li Lei, he cried out repeatedly, "Ah Lei, it's too inconvenient to come to you! I was so bored on the train. Going crazy!"

Hailan layer chickens will not enter the domestic market until 1985, and they are cooperating with Huamei Company in Shenyang. Now Hailan International has no branches in China, so Vito Zhengda can only buy them from outside, and then ask Huang Yaohong to help deliver them. coming.

"Brother Huang worked hard, I'll treat you to a big meal later, you won't be able to eat authentic Yellow River carp in the Special Economic Zone!" After a few words of consolation, Li Lei began to care about his chickens, "Are these chicks okay? ?”

"It's okay, what can happen if I'm here, most of the chicks are in good condition, a few have not been carried over, but the loss is also under control!" The chickens were transported all the way, and it was required that none It's impossible for something to happen.

Several people got into the car together, moved all the boxes containing the chicks and equipment, and moved them to Master Wang's big truck. Every time a box was sent up, Li Lei carefully inspected it.

I saw these chicks are red and white, the female chicks are mostly red fluff, a few individuals have dark brown stripes on the back, the male chicks are white fluff, some have light brown stripes on the back, the head is relatively compact, single crown , red ear leaves, this is the standard feature of Hailan brown layer hens.

High-Line International has a variety of high-quality laying hens such as High-Line White and High-Line Brown. Considering the difference in consumption habits between the two countries, Li Lei chose High-Line Brown instead of High-Line White.

According to the statistics of later generations, Chinese people prefer brown-shell eggs when buying eggs, and the consumption ratio is probably brown-shell (55%), pink-shell (43%), white-shell (1%) and green-shell (1%) eggs. , which is quite different from the fact that American consumers prefer white shell eggs.

Li Lei introduced imported laying hens to make money, so naturally he would not compete with consumers' preferences, so he chose Hailan Brown.

"A Lei, here's the list, let's take a look!" Huang Yaohong drank some water, calmed down a bit, took out the purchase order from his bag and handed it to Li Lei.

Li Lei took it over and saw that the number and variety of chicks and equipment were similar to what he had requested. This time, there were a small number of grandparent chickens, and the rest were parent chickens.

The breeder company sells grandparent chickens and parent chickens. Generally, 10 hens accompany more than one rooster, which is considered 1 sets, and the number of sets is determined by the number of hens.

The grandparent chickens generally start to lay eggs when they grow to 150 days, and the parent chickens hatch after 21 days, and the parent chickens also start to lay eggs after 150 days, and the commercial chickens hatch after 21 days; after another 150 days , Commodity chickens can lay eggs and make money.

A set of grandparent layer breeders can breed about 60 sets of parent layer breeders, and a set of parent layer breeders can breed about 80 commercial layer hens.

If a chicken farm wants to make money, it must not wait for the grandparents to lay eggs to give birth to the parent chickens, and then the parent chickens will give birth to commercial chickens. This time is too long.

However, it is not possible to buy commercial chicken chicks from the breeder company. This operation is too frequent. If there is an unexpected cut-off of supply, they will be very passive.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, in addition to commercial chicks, a large proportion of parental chickens are purchased, and a small amount of grandparent chickens are used to breed commercial chicks, so that the frequency of purchases is reduced and the stability is more guaranteed.

It's just that the price of the grandparent chicken and the parent chicken is not low. The price quoted by Hailan International is [-] dollars for the grandparent chicken and [-] cents for the parent chicken. If converted into RMB, this is sky-high a,

You know, nowadays a whole chicken costs only two or three yuan, and a high-quality chick costs only a few cents; but there is no way, monopoly business, do you want it or not!In the future, the price of grandparent chickens will rise to ten dollars, twenty dollars or even more than thirty dollars, and domestic farms can only grit their teeth and admit it.

After checking the list and the type and quantity of the chicks, all of them are correct except for a few that died during the transportation.

"Brother Huang, it's really troublesome for you this time. Let's go to eat first. After dinner, I'll take you shopping. It's hard to come here. You have to take a look!" Li Lei is very grateful to Huang Yaohong, if it weren't for him The pros stare, and more will die of these expensive breeders.

"It's okay to eat, let's forget about shopping first, let's transport these breeder chickens back as soon as possible!" Huang Yaohong knew that these breeder chicks had been on the train for so long, and they had to settle down immediately, otherwise they would die.

"Then I'll take you shopping after I've settled down!" So Li Lei took him to a time-honored shop, tasted local famous foods such as carp baked noodles, and then hurried back in the car.

When we arrived at Erdaowan Village, according to Li Lei's instructions, we sent the chickens to the brooding house to settle down, and fed and watered these precious chickens, and kept busy until dark.

In the evening, Huang Yaohong lived in Li's house. After dinner, when they were alone, Huang Yaohong took out another letter from his bag, "This is a letter written by Mr. Xie, please read it first! "

Li Lei opened it, and Xie Liren told him in the letter that the palm oil futures had a big harvest, and they were all sold when they were close to the highest point. Li Lei made more than ten times the profit.

The CP Group naturally earned more, and Xie Liren also invested part of his private money, which also reaped a lot. In order to thank Li Lei, he and the CP Group rewarded him with part of the company's and their own profits.

In this case, after deducting the money for buying electrical appliances, chicks, and equipment for him, Li Lei still has more than 50 yuan. Xie Liren asked him in the letter how to give him the money.

Li Lei thought for a while and began to reply. Now that he can't use the money for the time being, he asked Xie Liren to give him the change first, and continue to invest the rest in the futures market.

This time, we will not do palm oil. The El Niño phenomenon not only affects the palm oil market, but also causes a reduction in soybean production in the United States. The reduction in soybean production will naturally increase the price of soybean oil.

From this year to next year, soybean oil prices in the Chicago futures market have experienced two sharp rises, doubling in September this year, and rising by two-thirds from February to May next year.

The Chicago Board of Trade is the largest grain and oil futures market in the world. The Chia Tai Group must have arrangements, so it is no problem to ask them to help with the operation.

The margin ratio for soybean oil futures trading is 8%, which is equivalent to 12.5 times leverage. Once the two-wave market is caught, Li Lei's assets can exceed [-] million.

With the funds, and the policy will continue to be liberalized next year, at some point, we can do something big!

Li Lei wrote down his forecast and funding arrangements, and handed them over to Huang Yaohong for his help to take them back.

After receiving the letter, Huang Yaohong couldn't help asking, "Ah Lei, look at your chicken farm during the day, the size is only about [-] chickens, right? You shouldn't need so many kinds of chickens. What are you going to do with the extra chickens?"
