The rise of nanometers

The Temuhule family warmly entertained Li Bin and his party.

In the afternoon, everyone started working. With the help of Temuhule, who was familiar with artificial insemination operations, Li Bin and others quickly carried out artificial insemination operations on 375 cows.

After completing the artificial insemination contract, Temuhule took Li Bin and his party to visit several civilian food processing plants in Luotuo Town.

To the northwest of Luotuo Town, next to an artificial lake, there is a modern factory. When Li Bin put on protective clothing and passed through the disinfection corridor, he smelled the smell of milk in the air.

There are more than a dozen farms nearby, all raising dairy cows, and their milk will be sold to this factory for the production of whipping cream, butter, and cheese.

Li Bin took a look at the nameplates of the equipment and found that they were all equipment produced by Snail Industrial.

Coming to the storage warehouse next to the factory, where the round cheeses were being fermented, Temuhule took out a perforator, pierced a piece of cheese, and then pulled out some cheese:

"This factory is a joint venture between me and a few friends. It just passed the cloud inspection certification half a year ago."

Li Bin took a sip. The milk taste was mixed with salt, and there was also a hint of cheese's unique aroma, which had the flavor of Mediterranean cheese: "Yes, domestic consumption power has been increasing in recent years, and the cheese market has good potential."

"Haha, compared to Monan's specialization, Mobei still has a long way to go." Temuhule was not arrogant.

Li Bin encouraged: "Cheese is your national food, don't let the Western barbarians over there take over it."

To put it bluntly, cheese is a concentrated fermented animal milk product.

Ancient cheese originated from the nomads, mainly because the nomads had a large number of cattle and sheep, and it was easy to obtain milk and goat milk. In order to preserve fresh milk, they would make cheese thousands of years ago.

The cheese from Xizhou is also one of the by-products brought by the invasion of Northeastern nomads.

Speaking of which, cheese is definitely not the first to appear in Xizhou.

As a traditional food in the northwest region, it is called milk tofu in the Mongolian region and commonly known as milk cake in the Xinjiang region. Completely dried cheese is also called milk cake.

It’s just that Westerners previously had the right to speak in international public opinion and were very good at packaging and marketing. For example, Lafite wine, Gallic foie gras, Black Sea caviar, Iberian ham, green food avocado, etc., can be called a model of marketing. .

Let’s take the real situation of avocados. This food was considered junk food in the 20th century. It was only through marketing that it became a “healthy green food”.

In fact, avocado is not necessarily healthy. It is just a piece of vegetable fat. Does eating a large piece of "oil" mean health?

Anything taken in large amounts is not necessarily a good thing for the human body.

What's more, the cultivation of avocados is done by those Central American gangsters. Behind every avocado is the blood and sweat of farmers.

At the same time, the damage caused by avocado planting to the environment is not trivial, because the growth of avocado trees consumes a lot of water. On average, each avocado consumes 270 liters of fresh water, while the ripening of a large tomato only requires about 24 liters.

The avocado tree is a water pump, rivaling that of fast-growing eucalyptus.

As a professional in ecological breeding, Li Bin knows a lot about the inside story of many industries, and many products are indeed IQ-taxed.

Temuhule smiled and nodded: "I have been working hard on this matter. Recently, the Dairy Association of Eastern Province plans to hold a dairy product exhibition."

"I'm optimistic about you. As long as the quality of Mobei's dairy products is strictly controlled, and with its geographical advantage, you can definitely make a lot of money." Li Bin patted him on the shoulder.

"Haha, let me lend you some good words."

The two came to the other side, which was a mixture of whey, light cream, and butter. The factory did not have the equipment to further process these mixtures.

It’s not that the equipment is unavailable, but that it’s unnecessary. Small factories can process only a limited amount of milk every day, so purchasing refining equipment specifically for this purpose is obviously not worth the gain.

Temuhule pointed to the storage tank and explained to him: "These mixed liquids can be sold to Deyi or Guangming. Their dairy factories specialize in purchasing this."

"Yes, our company has invested a lot in the deep processing of dairy products in the past two years."

Suddenly Temuhule asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, what do you think of the solid oil market?"

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What? Do you want to invest?"

"I have a classmate in Ulaanbaatar. He wanted to invest in animal husbandry, but he didn't know which direction was better, so he came to me for cooperation."

"Ulaanbaatar?" Li Bin suddenly understood. He thought for a while: "Let's put it this way! The market potential of solid oil is indeed not small. If he has connections and gets a large amount of low-priced beef and mutton oil, he will still make profits in the future. Considerable.”

"My classmate is mainly worried that you don't have the habit of eating solid oil in your country, so it may be difficult to open up sales." Temuhule asked hesitantly.

Li Bin shook his head: "If we want to defeat ABCD's monopoly on oils in China, we must change the structure of edible oil, from the previous soybean vegetable oil to a balance of vegetable oil and animal oil. At the same time, we must increase the diversification of vegetable oil varieties, and who Tell you, Chinese people are used to eating vegetable oil? In the past, lard was also very popular."

"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."

In fact, in the past two years, domestic production of lard, beef tallow, and mutton fat has been increased. For example, the slaughterhouse of Fengmin Agriculture saves all the suet and part of the fat in pork for refining.

Anyway, people like lean meat, and fat meat is not easy to sell. Using fat meat as a material for oil refining can also reduce waste and increase the diversification of edible oil.

In terms of the development of small varieties of vegetable oils themselves, peanut oil, sunflower oil, flax oil and corn oil gradually dilute the proportion of soybean oil.

Originally, soybeans were imported, on the one hand, for oil extraction, and on the other hand, for bean dregs, because the bean dregs can be used as feed.

Nowadays, domestic feed production has been gradually increasing, and the overall benefits of the imported feed are actually declining.

There is a very obvious economic principle in this. ABCD's domestically controlled oil-extracting enterprises import a large amount of American soybeans. In addition to soybean oil and soybean protein powder, they can also obtain bean dregs.

Whether these bean dregs are processed into feed themselves or sold to feed processing companies, it is a huge profit for these oil extraction companies.

However, this model must meet a prerequisite, that is, there is insufficient local self-produced feed and the market price of feed remains high.

The problem is that domestic feed prices have dropped a lot, by 30 to 40%, and the competitiveness of okara, a by-product of imported soybeans, has plummeted.

Even though ABCD has successively lowered the CIF price of soybeans, it still has not restored the cold reception of the feed market.

Compared with zero-tariff Lucia soybeans, North American soybeans have been greatly affected.

And this impact will continue until the Food Alliance completely seizes back the edible oil market.

Against this background, investing in animal oil in Mobei is actually a wise move. Vegetable oil is eaten in China because it is cheap.

If the price of animal oil drops to a relatively reasonable range and people's income increases, the market potential of animal oil will be further released.

After Li Bin mentioned a few words about Temuhule, he had lunch in Luotuo Town and hurried back to Hulunbuir.

In the pickup truck, a news broadcast came from the radio:

"Recently, the world's first..."
