1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 108: Transaction with Shiquan Chicken Farm

Su Wenchen was at the brigade headquarters, entertaining a group of people from the city.

Also during the meal, Su Wenchen found a gap and met Hou Guozhong alone.

"Master Hou, are you going to the city alone? Congratulations!"

Hou Guozhong shook his head.

"Nothing happened. The city just asked Shiquan to send a technician to come over and take a look. I'm not a favorite employee and the manager doesn't like me either, so naturally I was kicked out again."

"After this is over, I don't think I can stay in Shiquan for long. In the past, at least there were people who stood up for me. This time, I will offend everyone when I go back."

"Even Lao Miao was almost implicated by me."

Su Wenchen scratched his head when he heard this.

"Master Hou, why don't you come to our place? Our county is also going to set up a state-owned chicken farm now."

"And they are all state-owned chicken farms, your treatment will definitely not be lower than before"

Su Wenchen knew that no worker would like Hou Guozhong's approach of directly increasing their workload.

If it was a newly built farm like theirs, it would be fine because all the people there are new recruits and as long as the rules are set from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many problems.

But for those old factories that have been running for a long time.

If you suddenly increase the intensity and talk about management systems that they don't understand, many old workers will not be able to accept it.

Even if you say it's for the good of the factory.

But for them, wasn't everything fine before there was no such system?

At this time, if you encounter a tough leader, you can force it through. When you find that it is really effective, there are actually not that many workers who will oppose it.

However, Lao Hou, as a technician, wanted to initiate reforms at Shiquan Chicken Farm without the support of the farm manager.

This is basically impossible to succeed.

Faced with Su Wenchen's second invitation, Hou Guozhong hesitated this time.

Because it's different from last time.

This time, Su Wenchen also invited him to a state-owned chicken farm.

As a member of the inspection team.

He knew very well that as long as there was no deliberate exaggeration or direct lies, the city would try its best to satisfy the breeding industry.

The chicken farm in Lanshui County will definitely be approved by the city.

During the time in Pingcun Brigade, he also knew very well that Su Wenchen's breeding technology was many times better than that of their Director Song who only knew how to drive people out.

In terms of development, Lanshui County will definitely not be worse than Shiquan in the future.

There is even a high probability that it will develop better than the Shiquan Chicken Farm. If he refuses again this time, he may not have another chance in the future.

After all, if the state-owned chicken farm is built, there will be no problem finding people.

On one side was the Shiquan Chicken Farm that always kicked him out, and on the other side was Su Wenchen who invited him twice.

Think of this.

Hou Guozhong nodded heavily.

"Then I will work under Director Su's leadership from now on. When I get back, I will go to Shiquan to pack up my things."

Su Wenchen smiled heartily and patted Hou Guozhong on the shoulder.

"Master Hou, how come you have learned to flatter? This is not like you!"

Hear Su Wenchen's laughter.

Section Chief Miao, who had something on his mind, also came over.

"Director Su, what are you talking about? You look so happy. I will be happy too if you say it out loud."

Su Wenchen glanced at Section Chief Miao and shook his head.

"Miao Ke, I'm afraid you won't be happy if I tell you this!"

"Master Hou is coming to our Lanshui. I'm afraid you in Shiquan are going to lose a great general!"

Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Section Chief Miao was stunned for a moment.

"Lao Hou?"

Looking at Hou Guozhong, he nodded.

For some reason, Section Chief Miao felt a little reluctant, but at the same time he was completely relieved.

Knowing the other party's situation at Shiquan Chicken Farm, he was actually very clear that even if he was not exiled this time, Lao Hou would not be able to be a technician.

I can only go to the chicken coop to shovel chicken manure.

What Director Song said at the time was that since he felt the chicken coop was not clean, he could just go and clean it himself!
If the city hadn't come suddenly, and the other technicians hadn't happened to be busy.

Maybe Lao Hou has been sent to the chicken coop downstairs, shoveling chicken manure every day.

Finally, after looking at Hou Guozhong for a long time, Section Chief Miao said only one sentence.

"Take care, Lao Hou."

After all, when we meet in the future, we will be two different people.

Even though they are all state-owned, they will still be compared with each other.

At this moment, he even felt that he should not have sold that batch of chickens to their team in the first place.

But I thought about it in my mind.

Even if they didn't sell them at that time, with the technology, people could buy some chicks and hatch them themselves, it would just take a little longer.

It is better to do this way. As long as we have the relationship, at least we can support each other.

So he looked directly at Su Wenchen.

"Director Su, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to chat alone."

Su Wenchen was a little surprised, but still nodded.

"What's wrong with this?"

Hou Guozhong also nodded to the two of them at the appropriate time.

"You guys chat, I'll go in first."

As soon as Hou Guozhong left, Section Chief Miao couldn't help but express his envy.

"Congratulations to Director Su. It looks like the Blue Water Chicken Farm will be put into operation soon."

Su Wenchen smiled and waved.

"It's still uncertain. After all, the documents haven't been issued yet. Who can say for sure?"

"By the way, Chief Miao, you don't just want to congratulate me in advance, do you?"

Hearing this, the other party was slightly speechless.

Looking at Su Wenchen, he asked tentatively.

"I wonder if Director Su still remembers what he said in our chicken farm?"

Su Wenchen blinked.

"What? Did I say anything?" Upon hearing this, Section Chief Miao's heart sank.

"Director Su, we in Shiquan are in a terrible situation right now! We bought 20,000 chicks, but I don't know if it's because the chicks from other places are not acclimatized or because they were bumpy. Now there are only about 6,000 left."

"It's the remaining 6,000. It's clearly the egg-laying period, but the egg production is very low. Some even only lay one egg every three days."

"At this rate, we won't even be able to complete the tasks assigned to us by the city, let alone the unplanned eggs."

"Now our chicken farm only pays half of the monthly salary."

When Su Wenchen heard this, he looked at the other party curiously.

"How can we help you? You are not planning to buy eggs from us to complete the task."

"Do you still have that much money in your chicken farm?"

Su Wenchen actually knew that for a state-owned chicken farm like this, the real profit still had to come from the unplanned eggs.

Generally speaking, the planning committee above will give a rough planning quota, and within this quota, the price given will be very low.

Just like the public grain that the brigade needs to pay, it is a target that must be completed every year. Unless an unexpected event such as a natural disaster occurs, the person will be punished if the target is not completed.

However, this indicator is not particularly high, especially in an industry like animal husbandry where there are more unexpected events. After completing the indicator, the excess is the unplanned product, which actually has the highest profit.

Basically, the leader’s small kitchen, employees’ welfare, holiday pay, etc., all come from here.

Now Shiquan hasn’t even gathered the planned eggs, so Su Wenchen estimated that the other side probably doesn’t have much money left.

When Section Chief Miao heard this, he felt like there might be hope.

He immediately began to explain eagerly.

"Director Su, I've also watched before. Your breeder chicken farm is doing very well. The hatching rate is ridiculously high. You can't even raise enough chickens yourself, so you've started selling raw eggs."

"For the sake of our friendship, can you please sell us a batch of chicks?"

When Su Wenchen heard this, he started thinking.

Do you want to sell a batch of chicks to Shiquan?

The other party was right, because Su Wenchen came up with the idea of splitting up the chicken farm.

The breeder farm is developing very quickly.

Especially for breeding chickens, although the production of fertilized eggs is not as high as that of ordinary chicken eggs, one a day is still no problem.

Combined with the various attribute bonuses of breeding chickens, the hatching rate of fertilized eggs is directly led to extremely high rates.

Only a very small number of eggs will fail to hatch and become dead.

At first, Su Wenchen only treated these dead eggs as welfare and distributed them to the employees of the chicken farm.

Although he always felt that this thing was already formed and difficult to eat, he felt uncomfortable.

But in this era, this is already a rare nutritional product.

very popular.

Moreover, as more and more breeding hens and chicks were hatched, their team was almost unable to keep them all.

After purchasing agents discovered that their team actually had hairy eggs, they were willing to pay a higher price than for chicken eggs.

So now their breeding chicken farms, in fact, before the state-owned chicken farms were built, have been selling hatched eggs.

If we can sell chicks now, it is more cost-effective to sell chicks.
Because no matter how expensive live eggs are, they are certainly not as expensive as chicken chicks.

After all, one is sold by weight and the other is sold by piece.

After thinking about it, Su Wenchen asked tentatively.

"Miao Ke, how many chicks do you want to buy?"

When the other party heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course the more the better. Even if you sell 10,000 or 20,000 pieces, it won't be too much for us!"

After hearing what the other party said, Su Wenchen felt a little annoyed.

Damn, it seems that Shiquan still has some foundation. It is impossible to get ten or twenty thousand at once.

He also needs to reserve enough time to supply chicks to his state-owned chicken farm.

However, they have to build a new site and everything, so it won't be put into production soon, so they can help Shiquan hatch a batch of chicks first.

As for deliberately not supplying chicks, it caused Shiquan to go bankrupt.

In Su Wenchen's opinion, this is not very realistic.

The other party is not a fool. Even if you can't buy it from them, you can always buy it somewhere else.

He can also foresee that there will be more and more farms of various types in the future.

The city has suffered a loss once, and it is unlikely to continue to suffer losses. It will definitely strongly support the establishment of a large number of new farms.

Even if you use money, you will get it.

Besides, since he has mastered the core technology, Su Wenchen is not afraid of competition.

Moreover, as a latecomer, he knew very well that the breeding industry had not yet reached saturation until the 1990s.

It was not until a few years after the new century that people completely achieved meat freedom and were able to eat whatever they wanted.

Su Wenchen roughly calculated in his mind that it would take at least three months for his state-owned farm to go into production, so he could help them hatch two batches.

"Chief Miao, let me put it this way. I will definitely remember the friendship you showed us when you helped us."

"But our breeder farm doesn't have any ready-made chicks at the moment, so if you need them, we can help you hatch two batches of 2,000 chicks each. The incubation period is about 20 days. But as you know, the chicks can't adapt to being loaded onto trucks right after hatching."

"It would be better if you come back once a month or so."

Although Su Wenchen could help them hatch the chicks, he would not feed them breeding feed for the batch of chicks that he was helping Shiquan hatch.

However, even so, this batch of chicks will be affected by the genetics of the breeder chickens, and the disease rate will definitely be much lower than that of ordinary chicks.

I heard Su Wenchen agreed to help.

Although there are only four thousand of them.

But he also felt relieved. The two counties were not far apart and it only took four or five hours to drive here.

At such a short distance, the loss rate is very low. It can be said that these are basically 4,000 real chicks.

Moreover, I heard from Lao Hou that the chicks hatched here are very healthy and rarely get sick.

If only they hadn’t sold it in the first place, forget it, I can’t think about it, the more I think about it, the more sad I feel.

"By the way, Director Su, what do you think of the price?"

After hearing this, Su Wenchen thought about it for a while.

"It's the same price you sold it to me, thirty cents each!"

Su Wenchen didn't intend to ask for an outrageous price, although the other party might have to accept it even if the price was a little higher.

But isn’t this just a one-time deal?

He also planned to ask the other party to purchase chicks from their brigade in the future, so that they could supply chicks to chicken farms throughout the city.

As for that time, the Guoyang chicken farm where he worked should have become a national-level large-scale comprehensive farm.
