Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Qin Huairu was ultimately detained for three days. Although he didn't lose his job, he suffered a lot.

When she returned to the courtyard house, He Yuzhu had already sold the house in the backyard.

As expected, it will be extremely difficult for Qin Huai to see He Yuzhu again in the future, let alone scheme against him.

With He Yuzhu's help, Yi Zhonghai also got a job at Dongjun Hotel, where he could earn thirty yuan a month.

But Qin Huairu was unaware of this.

For Wang Dong, these things happening in the yard are at most just a spice in his life, and he doesn't pay much attention to them.

Because at this moment, Wang Dong had focused all his energy on the Dongjun Breeding Farm.

After more than a month of development, the farm has finally gotten on the right track.

Factory director Guo Lin made a special phone call to invite Wang Dong, the boss behind the farm, to inspect the farm and personally verify the results of their hard work.

Wang Dong took a break and took his wife and sister-in-law to visit the breeding farm.

At the end of the road paved with gravel, two thick pillars stand on either side of the road. A huge arched doorway is welded onto the pillars with the five large characters "Dongjun Breeding Farm" hanging on it.

The car did not stop at the gate, but went straight to a two-story office building not far from the gate.

Factory director Guo Lin, along with several branch factory directors, stood downstairs at the office building. As soon as the truck stopped, they came over to greet them.

Wang Dong glanced around and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad... Director Guo... the farm is finally starting to look like a proper farm."

Guo Lin was quite confident in his abilities, pointing to the office building behind him as he introduced, "Boss..."

"This is the main office building of the breeding farm: finance, personnel, technology, sales, security, purchasing... all are located here, with a total of fifty-six people..."

“Each branch factory also has its own office building, but it’s a bit smaller than this one, with about a dozen or twenty people working there…”

"The only large-scale breeding farms currently established are white-feathered chicken farms."

"The breeding technology is all from abroad and is very mature. The first batch of 3,000 white-feathered chickens will be ready for market in another ten days..."

"From now on, we'll be able to get a thousand broiler chickens out of the market every two days..."

"Two months later, we can have a thousand white-feathered chickens ready for market every day..."

After hearing this, Wang Dong shook his head and replied, "It's not enough..."

"At the latest, we must ensure that 3,000 broiler chickens are ready for market every day within three months..."

"Six months later, the number of white-feathered chickens slaughtered every day must exceed five thousand."

"We must take advantage of the fact that there are not many white-feathered chicken farms in the country and quickly open up the market for our white-feathered chickens so that the people of Beijing will recognize our white-feathered chickens."

"Even if other farms raise white-feathered chickens in the future and want to enter the market, the people of Beijing will only recognize the white-feathered chickens from Dongjun Farm."

Guo Lin was in charge of the white-feathered chicken farm himself and knew the situation inside very well, but he didn't answer immediately. He frowned and thought for a full half minute before speaking.

"no problem……"

"We already have experience in raising broiler chickens, and we are now researching technologies related to egg production and hatching."

"I am confident that I will master this technology within two months and start hatching white-feathered chickens myself within three months..."

"The only difficulty is in sourcing chicken feed..."

“Overseas broiler chickens are raised using specialized chicken feed, but there are not many chicken feed manufacturers in China, and the procurement channels are limited, so the quantity that can be purchased is very limited and may not be enough to meet the needs of chicken farms.” “Although some coarse grains such as corn can be used to replace some of the chicken feed, the procurement is also very difficult.”

"Even if ten white-feathered chickens only eat one pound of corn a day, hundreds of thousands of white-feathered chickens will still eat tens of thousands of pounds of corn a day."

“Shikou Town certainly doesn’t have that much corn to supply us.”

"We have to go to Beijing or even further to make purchases, which greatly increases our procurement costs."

"Pig farms, sheep farms, and the cattle and sheep farms that are about to be established... all of them have these problems..."

"Once the breeding scale of these branch plants is fully expanded, the daily demand for various feeds may exceed 100,000 jin, which will further increase the difficulty of procurement and increase costs significantly."

This was a problem Wang Dong hadn't considered before, but now that he thought about it, it really made sense.

When the country had just begun its reform and opening up, ordinary people raised livestock and poultry mainly using grains grown on their own land and did not spend money to buy feed.

Although there are many state-owned farms in Beijing that purchase various feeds, the quantity is very limited. This results in very few feed manufacturers in the country, and even if there are, their output is very low.

As far as feed manufacturers in the Sijiucheng area are concerned, their output certainly cannot meet the needs of Dongjun Livestock Farm.

Moreover, those feed mills were all state-owned factories, with high production costs, which resulted in very high feed prices.

If we were to purchase feed from them, or from places further away, the cost of raising livestock would definitely increase.

Wang Dong established the breeding farm for two reasons: firstly, to stabilize the supply of goods for Dongjun Restaurant and create conditions for the establishment of Dongjun Fried Chicken Shop; and secondly, to make money.

If your self-established farm not only fails to make money but also loses money due to high breeding costs, it's better not to establish it at all.

His brows furrowed instantly into a deep frown.

Then he turned his gaze to his wife: "Wife..."

"How much savings do we have left in our family..."

"After deducting the monthly costs of the farm from the profits of the restaurants, how much money is left?"

Chen Jun didn't know what her husband was planning, but she trusted that Wang Dong wouldn't do anything reckless. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Setting up the breeding farm cost a lot of money..."

"I have less than 200,000 yuan left in savings, to be precise, I have 180,000 yuan left."

"The number of restaurants currently operating in Beijing has increased to six, with a monthly net profit exceeding 120,000..."

"The farm is not profitable yet, and the monthly costs and expenses total 80,000 yuan..."

"I can still make a profit of about 40,000 yuan each month..."

“Enough…” Wang Dong clenched his fist and answered firmly.

Then he said to Guo Lin, "Since purchasing feed from outside will greatly increase our breeding costs, let's produce our own feed."

"Old Guo, you've been a technician for decades, so you should be able to figure out the formulas for various pig and chicken feeds by copying their methods."

“You are responsible for developing the feed formula, and I will be responsible for buying the equipment and selling the raw materials. We will build another feed mill nearby to supply various feeds to the farms.”

"If there are any extras, we can sell them to others."

"At that time, we won't have to worry about the feed mill's products not selling, and we can also reduce middlemen and lower the breeding costs for farms." (End of Chapter)
