Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 508 The Strategy of the Cattle Farm
Zhang Yi took Li Hui, Xu Rou and the other four out to have fun, and they had played all the places in the Guanzhong area that could be played.

Zhang Yi, who came back from fun, started to get busy after two days of rest.

Although life is like a fairy, there are still many people under him who rely on him to make a living. He still has to be busy. Even if he is a shopkeeper, he can't just ignore everything.

And now, Zhang Yi is looking at the data sent to him by Fatty Bu.

These data were collected by Zhang Yi with concessions to Fatty. Although it is not the era of big data, some data are still very beneficial to Zhang Yi's judgment. The situation of those beef cattle that came back.

After those beef cattle were brought back, the first batch had been bred and started to grow up.

Some time ago, Fatty Bu had just started selling the first batch of beef cattle, so Zhang Yi asked him to collect some data to observe the situation.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty do not allow the slaughter of farm cattle, but those consumption cattle are not classified as farm cattle, and they were traded with the Tubo people, so they are allowed to be slaughtered for meat.

And people can't stop eating meat, especially in this era when pork is smelly and hard to swallow, beef has become a luxury.

Therefore, the first batch of [-] cows slaughtered by Fatty Bu was sold out immediately, and they also received a lot of orders, so the supply was simply in short supply.

Like the duck farms in Zhangjiazhuang now, although these buffaloes are regarded as beef cattle, what Zhang Yi values ​​most now is breeding.

If the breeding can be done well, they will be able to breed more cattle and then sell them in the future, but if they don’t pay attention to breeding now, and if they see the market is so good, they will kill and sell cattle, that will be nothing more than fishing. not conducive to long-term development.

Looking at the various data submitted by Fatty Bu, Zhang Yi picked up a pen and began to write some instructions on the paper.

For one night, Zhang Yi was constantly giving instructions, and at the same time, he would recalculate and revise those unsatisfactory areas.

Zhang Yi doesn't expect that the whole world can eat the beef from his farm, but he wants to ensure that the entire Guanzhong area doesn't have to worry about meat.

As long as you have money, you can buy good beef.

After making the instructions, Zhang Yi just fell asleep, and it was rare for him not to sleep in the next day. Instead, he got up early in the morning and went to find Fatty Bu.

Men who work hard are always so handsome and charming. Once Zhang Yi gets serious, he is indeed very persistent. Even though he almost stayed up all night last night, he can still get up early in the morning.

After finding Fatty Bu, Zhang Yi directly handed over the instructions he made last night to Fatty Bu, and asked him to see if there was any problem.

Fatty Bu looked at the data written by Zhang Yi, and asked with some doubts: "Isn't it a bit conservative to do so?"

Zhang Yi's instructions on the paper stated that the number of beef cattle sold in each batch should not exceed fifteen, and three to four batches were sold each month.

At this rate, they can only sell about [-] beef cattle per month, which is far from meeting the demand of the market.

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Looking at the long term, if we start selling in large quantities now, although we can get a high market share, the scale of our cattle farm will stagnate unless we can get cattle from Tubo again. Get a lot of buff, otherwise our ceiling will be like this."

In the last economic war, Zhang Yi got a total of more than [-] cows from Sahazhuo, and half of them were left to reward Tang Jun, and he took the other half back to Chang'an for Fatty Bu to open a cattle farm. .

Excluding the exhausted cows that fell ill and died on the road, there were only about [-] exhausted cows that survived.

And after half a year of cultivation, the first batch of small consumption cattle have been born, and more than [-] small consumption cattle have been born.

It was precisely because of the birth of this batch of beef that Zhang Yi made up his mind to ask Fatty Bu to start selling a batch of beef to test the market situation.

According to the growth rate of beef cattle, beef cattle that are generally one and a half years old can be slaughtered and sold. Of course, it would be even better if they can be raised for two years.

According to Zhang Yi's estimation, his beef cattle can give birth to a thousand or so calves every year.

Based on this calculation, if he wants to continue to expand the scale of the cattle farm, the beef cattle he sells each year must be smaller than the annual production scale.

And the number of fifty or sixty heads per month is just right.

Moreover, the meat (excluding bones, etc.) that can be produced by each beef cattle is about [-] catties, and each batch of [-] cows is about [-] catties. Four batches a month, there can be more than [-] catties.

This amount is not small.

And now it’s just a policy at the beginning. After the first batch of beef cattle grow up, Zhang Yi will only keep the cows, and the bulls only need to keep some as breeding cattle, and the rest can be slaughtered. At that time, the quantity they sell will be adjusted upwards.

Fatty Bu can become a successful businessman, and his brain is naturally very good. When Zhang Yi said this, he immediately understood what was going on.

If cattle farms want to make more profits, have greater influence, or even form a monopoly, they must expand their scale.

Otherwise, if they continue to maintain this scale, although the supply will still exceed demand, but when others see that raising cattle is so profitable, it is hard to guarantee that no one will go to Tibet to get hundreds of worn-out cattle and return them to raise.

At that time, only a few such people need to appear, and their industry status will be challenged. As long as there are people competing with them in the market, it will be difficult for them to form a price advantage.

So even if they can earn a lot of money now, Zhang Yi and the others have to let it go first. Their top priority is to expand the scale of the cattle farm.

At that time, the cattle farm can have four to five thousand cows, and if it can produce two thousand cows a year, then who can compete with them.

If someone is really jealous and wants to compete with them, then they can use the price war to drag each other to death.

This kind of method Zhang Yi has seen too much in later generations, and it can be said to be a bad street method.

However, this method will still have a good effect at this time.

Fatty Bu rushed forward and would not doubt Zhang Yi's decision. Since Zhang Yi said so, and he also saw the power of it, he immediately carried it out without hesitation.

If they can really form a monopoly in this industry, then they will not have the final say in this industry in the future, and they will have an absolute advantage in pricing and other aspects.
