silent farm

Chapter 132 Not a good feeling
When a business allows you to see enough profit margins, you are definitely positive.For example, Fernando's agency business for Silent Farm products.

Fernando is not the first heir of the family, so he only inherited a small amount of property after his grandfather died, and the property under his father's name, he will not be able to inherit much in the future.So, he takes his business very seriously.When he discovered that the products of Silent Farm had great prospects, he put his business in it.

In the past few months, he has spent one-third of his time in Brazil, and spent the rest of his time in Europe selling agricultural products from Silent Farm.It also made him a lot of money.Of course, he knew that was just the beginning.

The slaughterhouse's output of [-] silent cattle per day simply cannot meet the two huge market demands of Europe and East Asia at the same time.Now he is persuading Li Sheng to increase his daily slaughter.

Wearing a denim outfit and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, Li Sheng stood on a small piece of farmland with his hands covered in mud, and said to Fernando, "You know, there are only so many cows that are ready for slaughter. And didn't we say that in the first two years, we could only sell tens of thousands of heads each year?"

Silent Farms started selling cattle five months ago, and there were still a lot of them at the beginning.But then it gradually decreased, and only [-] heads were sold a week.

Fernando also knew that this was a relatively scientific business arrangement for Silent Farm.At the beginning, there were more cattle that reached the age of cattle for slaughter, so it is normal that the number of cattle sold for slaughter is relatively small due to the age of the herd.But this has great constraints on his marketing promotion.

The market he had worked so hard to promote before had to give up that part of the market because of the shrinking production.

Fernando also knows that if the number of cattle to be slaughtered is increased now, there will always be a day when there will be a fault in the production of Silent Farm.But he still made a request: "Well, I know you have no more options here. But I just want to know how many cattle can be slaughtered next year. Can there be more than five hundred head per day? I hope to reach That number, and more."

But Li Sheng feels that the cattle on the farm are different from other cattle, not only in taste but also in appearance, which cannot be replaced by other cattle.Instead of being out of stock for a long time, it would be better to let the reputation of Silent Cow keep brewing, and it will be much more convenient to promote when the production volume increases in the future.

"There won't be many next year." Li Sheng spread his dusty hands and said. "Although we are buying new calves, it will take at least one and a half years before they can be slaughtered. There should be about 20 calves in the next year. So the amount you ask for will have to wait until the next year at least." The 20 calves are this year. The number of calves to be purchased.In addition, the self-produced products on the farm should be able to exceed this amount.

The number of 20 heads is not too much for Fernando.The daily slaughtering volume is only about 15 heads.That seems like a lot.However, the price of these beef is not very high. Although it is [-]% higher than American premium veal, these quiet beef are very popular because of their outstanding taste and high protein content.This price is still acceptable to the middle class.

And he can only get 50% of it at most, and even those restaurants can't satisfy that amount.He can only look at the vast market and cannot occupy it.

He hesitated for a moment, and said what he had been thinking about: "Now our beef is very popular, you may consider buying some larger cattle, or even some cattle that can be fattened immediately." He paused and said again. "We may be able to increase the price a little bit. For example, increase the price by 10%. In the Middle East, Ali's selling price is half of what I sell in Europe."

Li Sheng would not dislike the fact that he earned a lot of money, but Fernando's request made him feel that the other party was interfering with the farm.But although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't show it.

He pondered for a while and said, "You decide on the sales price. Anyway, I only care about how much you sell, and I don't care how much you sell. As for buying more cattle, I will think about it."

Speaking of which, even if in the end, the number of cattle on the farm reaches 180 million, and the average daily slaughter of [-] cattle is not a lot.Because not all beef can be sold at a high price.Only the best parts are sold as premium beef, and not many will end up selling for a premium price.

Fernando was a little helpless towards Li Sheng's attitude of not caring about anything.However, he didn't want to continue talking about this topic. If he talked too much, it would make people disgusted.

"Li, you are now a person with an income of 10,000+ euros per day. Isn't there a better way to enjoy life?"

Li Sheng knew that what he said was that he was not qualified to farm the land by himself, but he didn't think it was a big deal.After all, he didn't really want to farm by himself, but he was bored recently.Moreover, the output of this land is his own enjoyment, and it is not a big deal to grow it by himself when he has time.

He has been actively involved in the past few months, and many things on the farm have been straightened out.

When everything has a prescribed procedure, the possibility of problems is much lower.It would be meaningless for him to sit in the office any longer.Chashi was at school, Tia was at class, and everyone else was busy, even Pudding and the three grown servals were busy catching mice on the farm.He has nothing to do alone.He didn't find something to do, and he felt very bad.

"No matter how much money I make every day, it is brought from the farm. You see, I am a farmer. Is there anything wrong with doing farm work?" He said with a smile. "And the things in these fields are eaten by myself. Don't you think self-sufficiency is actually pretty good?"

Well, Fernando didn't really want to persuade Li Sheng to change his current life.He knew that Li Sheng was actually a weirdo—maybe Westerners would feel this way when looking at Easterners.This can be seen from Li Sheng's investment in Silent Farm.He estimated that Li Sheng had invested at least one billion dollars in this farm.

This figure has far exceeded the original value of the farm land.If it were someone else, they would definitely not invest that much money in a farm, no matter how large the farm was.With so much money, investing in any project is more cost-effective than investing in a farm.But Li Sheng did just that.

For a person who does things so unpredictable, it would be a waste of his efforts to persuade them.

"Okay, I'm talking too much. The cows can't increase their production immediately, so those matsutake mushrooms should be fine. That thing is also selling well. The supply is also in short supply, and the profit is also very high."

Li Sheng bent down again, picked a few sweet potatoes, threw them into the basket, and said, "The mycelium of that thing needs to be cultivated for seven years to grow fruiting bodies. The yield is only so much for the time being."

Fernando wanted to scold his mother, and he also knew that Li Sheng didn't need to lie to him.But he also checked the information and knew that Li Sheng is the only one in the world who can cultivate matsutake artificially.It's just that if Li Sheng really has no choice, how can he produce mushrooms that take seven years to grow after only two years on his farm?

"I said Li, don't you always say that there is no way? I'm not a fool." Fernando also squatted down helplessly to do the farm work he had never done before.

However, after picking a few sweet potatoes, he found that the mucus stuck to his hands and he couldn't get rid of it, so he threw the rest away in disgust: "Do you know what the price of that thing is now? The second-class product is [-] euros per pound. The special-class product What’s more, you can buy seven thousand six hundred euros.”

Li Sheng didn't expect that after matsutake was proven to have anti-cancer and beauty effects, it would become popular in Europe and the United States.The main market for that thing before was Jipan and Bangziguo.Later, Huaxia slowly began to open up the market.Now Europe has become one of the most important markets, which is almost the same as the previous most important traditional chicken plate market.

But that thing is seasonal, and the season is quite short, only two or three months of the year are produced.However, the price of matsutake is still quite high, and the purchase price of all goods can reach two to three thousand RBM per kilogram.In the market, one kilogram of premium products can already be bought for about [-].Of course, premium matsutake is already a luxury.

Today, the annual production capacity of matsutake farms will not exceed [-] tons.This is much lower than those picked in the wild in southern China for several months.However, the products produced on the farm are much better in appearance, and most of them are above second-class products.And it is produced all year round.

He thinks this quantity is enough, and if the output is larger, the price will definitely drop.Maybe it can benefit more financially, but for him, he wants this matsutake to become the flagship product of Silent Farm.Then let it be in short supply.

And he believes that the benefits matsutake has brought to Fernando in the past two months have been quite high.Especially in the Middle East market where rich people go everywhere, hundreds of pounds of matsutake can be digested every day.Just for the product of matsutake, Fernando can benefit more than hundreds of thousands of euros every day.He didn't think the other party had any reason to be dissatisfied.

Fernando didn't bother to get angry because he saw that he was a bit recalcitrant.After several months of dating, he also knew that Li Sheng was lazy, but very assertive.If you want him to change his mind, you have to take it slow.

After picking a bunch of sweet potatoes in his hand, Li Sheng stood up again and said, "I said, aren't you here to talk about wheat this time?"

Although the quality of the wheat in Silent Farm is very good, most of the arable land of the entire farm is planted with wheat this time. According to Zhang Feng's estimation, after the fertilization, the planting area is nearly 15 acres, and the wheat output in this dry season is at least 60. Ton.

If it's just relying on Chen Bo, it's not bad to sell [-] tons in the end.So in order to avoid unsalable food like last year, Li Sheng asked Fernando to help him see if he could sell some of it in Brazil.Fernando's network, he still has to rely on it.

Fernando had also seen the wheat being harvested just now, and the experts he brought had also inspected it. The quality of the wheat must be of the highest quality.If you want to sell, the market prospect is still good.

He said: "The quality of wheat is very good. In addition, due to the virus in the first half of the year, the yield of wheat has decreased a lot, and the quality is relatively poor. Now there is a batch of such special products. I think the market is still very welcome. I will help you." Consignment sales, charge 10% of the pre-tax income. What do you think?"

No matter how good the quality of this batch of wheat is, the price cannot be too high, because the quantity is too large.But it is precisely because of the large quantity that the accumulation of less becomes more.If all of them are sold, he will still make a lot of money.
