"If something goes wrong, not only will our business fall through, but it could also ruin our reputation, which would be a huge problem."

The second aunt became increasingly worried as she spoke, her brows furrowing tightly and her eyes filled with unease.

Chen Dong nodded and sat down on a chair next to him, which made a soft creaking sound.

After a moment of contemplation, he said firmly, "Second Aunt, don't worry. I'll help you figure out a solution. Let's start by improving quality and ensuring supply. As long as we do these two things well, there won't be any problems. I have confidence in our chicken farm, and I have even more confidence in you, Second Aunt."

As he spoke, he gave his second aunt an encouraging look, his eyes full of determination and trust.

Auntie's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward slightly, asking eagerly, "Do you have a solution? Tell Auntie quickly."

Her eyes were full of expectation, and her hands clenched unconsciously, as if waiting for a turning point in her fate.

Chen Dong smiled and said unhurriedly, "There is a way, but we have to take it one step at a time. First, we need to start with the breed of chickens and the feed. Although your current chicken breeds are good, they need to be optimized to meet the supermarket's requirements."

"I know several poultry experts who are very experienced in breeding high-quality chicken breeds and can help you introduce some better breeds. These breeds grow quickly, have tender meat, and are more resistant to disease, which will definitely meet the quality requirements of supermarkets. Moreover, their eggs are large, have dark yolks, and are rich in nutrients, making them more popular in the market."

As Chen Dong spoke, he gestured with his hands to describe the size and shape of the chicken, speaking with great clarity and detail.

"What about the feed?" Auntie pressed, her eyes filled with anxiety, leaning forward slightly as if afraid of missing a single word.

“The feed also needs to be improved,” Chen Dong said. “Although the feed on the market is cheap, its nutritional composition is not balanced enough. I suggest you use some special formula feed. This kind of feed is formulated according to the growth stage and nutritional needs of chickens. Although it is more expensive, the chickens grow faster and the meat is better.”

"For example, during the chick stage, the feed should have a higher protein content to help them grow quickly; as the chickens grow bigger, the feed formula should be adjusted to increase some minerals and vitamins to make them healthier and their meat firmer."

"Moreover, a nutritionally balanced feed can make chickens healthier and reduce the chances of them getting sick, which can actually lower our breeding costs. Think about it, if the chickens get sick less often, we can save on medicine costs, right?"

Chen Dong patiently explained, his words clear and logical, which gradually captivated his aunt.

My second aunt nodded, but there was still some hesitation on her face: "If the cost goes up, the profit will be down. The profit margin for raising chickens is already thin, and if the cost increases further, I'm afraid we won't make much money. Moreover, if the market is bad, we might not be able to recover the costs."

My second aunt's face was full of worry, and her eyes revealed her fear of the uncertainty of the future.

Chen Dong shook his head and patiently explained, "Second Aunt, you can't just look at the present. If the quality improves, the price can also be higher. The supermarket is willing to cooperate with us because they value our potential."

"Besides, supermarkets buy in large quantities, so with low profit margins and high sales volume, the overall profit won't be small. Moreover, establishing a long-term partnership with supermarkets will increase our brand awareness and allow us to expand into more markets in the future. Who knows, maybe in the future, our chickens will even be sold in other cities. At that time, the profits will be much higher than they are now."

Chen Dong spoke vividly, as if that bright future was already just around the corner.

Auntie felt a little more at ease after hearing this, but she was still a little worried: "What about the supply? The supermarket requires a stable supply, but my chicken farm is only so big. What if we can't supply it? It would be such a pity to lose this order because of supply issues. Besides, if the supermarket is not satisfied, it will be difficult to cooperate again in the future."

My aunt's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating her great concern about the supply issue.

Chen Dong smiled and reassured him, "You don't need to worry about that. We can raise them in batches and stagger their slaughter times, which will ensure a sufficient supply of chickens every month. For example, we can raise a batch of chicks this month, another batch next month, and so on. This way, there will be mature chickens available for slaughter every month, and there won't be any shortages."

"In addition, I can help you connect with some cooperative farmers. If we raise chickens together, wouldn't that increase the scale of operations? I can provide the farmers with chicks and technical support, and they will be responsible for raising them. We will then purchase the chickens collectively and supply them to supermarkets. This will solve the supply problem and also help surrounding farmers get rich together. It's great that we can all make money together!"

Chen Dong's tone was full of confidence, as if he could already see the chicken farm and the farmers prospering together.

Upon hearing this, Auntie finally smiled and patted Chen Dong on the shoulder: "Dongzi, you're the one with the best ideas! I'll leave this to you. I'm counting on you."

The second aunt's eyes were filled with trust and gratitude, as if Chen Dong was her pillar of support.

Chen Dong nodded and said firmly, "Second Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely help you get this done. I guarantee that our chickens will get into the supermarket smoothly and make our brand a success. I want our chicken farm to become the most famous farm in the county!"

Chen Dong clenched his fist, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

Over the next few days, Chen Dong was extremely busy.

He rode his worn-out motorcycle, the engine chugging along, kicking up dust on the dirt roads of the countryside, and drove to several farms.

In each farm, the sounds of chickens clucking rose and fell, and the air was filled with the smell of chicken manure and feed.

Chen Dong patiently communicated with the farm owners, learned in detail about the characteristics and advantages of the chicken breed, and carefully observed the growth of the chickens.

After comparing various options, he helped his second aunt import several hundred high-quality chickens.

These chickens have glossy, smooth feathers that shimmer with iridescent colors in the sunlight. Their combs are bright red, and they look very energetic, standing tall and proud, as if declaring their excellence to the world.

Next, he contacted several feed mills.

The workshop of the feed mill was filled with the roar of machines and a strong smell of feed.

Chen Dong and the factory managers discussed the matter repeatedly, taking every step seriously, from the selection of feed raw materials to the adjustment of the formula and the finalization of the price.

Finally, a batch of highly nutritious formula feed was customized.

Bags of brand-new feed were produced and neatly stacked in the warehouse, like piles of treasure waiting to be unlocked.

Chen Dong also specially invited several aquaculture experts.
