Happy Shennong

Chapter 221 Identifying Goals
Linley had already decided that even if he couldn't rent the Du family's fishpond, he had to find other ways to start farming.Therefore, the species to be cultivated must first be determined.After all, it takes time to determine the target and find fry.

He didn't waste any time, and immediately took Ma Kui into the city.

Ma Kui, who was driving, asked, "Brother Lei, should we go directly to the aquatic product market?"

"Let's go to Ling'er to find out about the situation."

Linley thought that besides the suppliers of aquatic products, those engaged in catering are also relatively familiar with the market and market conditions of aquatic products.And his breeding is also aimed at the high-end market. The fish produced, like new vegetables, are to be supplied to large groups. The first thing to consider is the Bandung Group.

If you understand the needs of the Wanlong Group, and then target the species they need, you can not only solve the problem of sales, but also do them a favor, and truly achieve the goal of win-win cooperation.

Under normal circumstances, not everyone can see a person of Zhong Ling's level.People who don't have enough friendship or don't have important matters will not be received at all.Even if people are willing to meet, they must make an appointment in advance.

But for so long, Linley and Zhong Ling have also dealt with each other a lot, but they have never made an appointment with Zhong Ling's secret technique.Usually they just go to find them directly, or call Zhong Ling directly.Just knowing about Zhong Ling's private phone call, Linley was ahead of many people.

It was the same this time, after Zhong Ling received Linley's call, not only did she not need to check the schedule to make an appointment to meet, she even called her father over.Because Linley said on the phone that he had something more important to discuss with them.She was afraid that she would not be able to take it down, so she also brought in the person with the highest right to speak.

Two people on each side met in Zhong Ling's office.

Zhong Ling personally made tea for Linley and Ma Kui. After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, he got to the point: "Linley, what is it that you are looking for us today?"

"I'm going to start the breeding business." Linley stated the purpose of his trip bluntly, "I just haven't figured out where to start. I would like to ask you to give me a reference."

"Really? You are finally going to expand your business!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ling was very excited.Zhong Wanlong was also interested.

The two seemed to be waiting for this day for a long time, and they couldn't hide their excitement.As the biggest beneficiaries of the new vegetables, Zhong's father and daughter both had a strong sense of gratitude to Linley and the new vegetables he supplied.

Although Linley is only planning to start the breeding business and has not started it yet, both father and daughter can imagine it.Just relying on new vegetables, the food and beverage department has been completely developed.If Linley came up with "new meat products", it would definitely bring the business of the food and beverage department to a higher level.

They are all businessmen, and they will never think too much money.There is no end to making money.

Zhong Wanlong couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Lei, are you going to do a pilot farming, or do it in a serious way like vegetables?"

"There's no need for a trial run, let's start straight away." Linley smiled and said, "After one year in the industry, it's time to seek improvements and breakthroughs. Only by blooming more can you make more money."

"That's right. If you have enough strength, expanding your business can also reduce business risks. As the old saying goes, if the east is not bright, the west is bright. Of course, your business is very safe. After expanding the business, it must bloom everywhere. , and there will be no situation of ebb and flow. When it comes to breeding, it is a very broad concept. Do you have a plan for the general direction?"

"I'm going to make aquatic products first, because I'm negotiating business in this area, there should be no problem. Then I will develop poultry, livestock, etc. This aspect will start from scratch, and I may not see money in a while , so we have to wait until we are free to plan.”

Zhong Wanlong nodded: "Xiao Lei, you are looking for us today because you want to know what kind of fish to raise?"

"That's right. I want to breed high-profit but relatively scarce species. Because of the geographical conditions in the village, I can't carry out large-scale farming. If the fish are too common, the profit will not increase. As for the difficulty of breeding, you don't need to." Consider it. As long as it is freshwater fish, I have the confidence to successfully raise it.”

Zhong Wanlong nodded again, touched his chin and discussed with Zhong Ling for a while, then slowly said: "Xiao Lei, in view of your situation, I suggest you to breed shad or herring."

"Oh? Is there anything special about it?" Linley became interested.The herring mentioned by Zhong Wanlong is just in his range of candidates.As for the shad, he has not learned about it yet.

Zhong Ling took over the conversation: "The two kinds of fish that Dad mentioned are rare fish for the high-end market. Shad was one of the tribute fish in ancient times. It has a long history and a strong reputation, and the market demand is relatively large. However, due to the limitation of the production area, it is difficult to achieve artificial breeding, so it is one of the most scarce fish in the market, and the price has always been high. As far as I know, the market price of shad has never appeared Below 2000 yuan per catty."

"2000 yuan a catty? It's really high!" Linley nodded lightly, "What about the herring? This kind of fish seems to be from the local area, right?"

"That's right. In detail, there are several theories about the name herring. First, the top of this fish's head is light blue, and some people say it got its name from it. Second, this fish is produced in this city. Qingyun Lake in Qingyun Lake, and only Qingyun Lake has this kind of fish, so some people think that the name of the herring-headed fish is related to the word Qingyun. Some people combine these two sayings, and expand their imagination, saying that the top of the head of this fish is The light blue imprint on it is like a group of clouds, which has the meaning of "green clouds go straight up". What's more, it is said that the name of Qingyun City is based on the herring. Until now, no one can tell whether it is What kind of logic."

"What about the economic value of herring?"

"The herring is also one of the five major tribute fishes in ancient times. It is accompanied by the meaning of 'the blue sky is rising', and it is now being hyped. In addition, the herring is also one of the special products of this city, and the annual output is very limited. It has always been a scarce resource in the high-end fish market. Its economic value is about the same as shad. Take the pricing standard of Qingyun International Hotel as an example, a herring of about 750 grams is [-] pieces on the table. If Shipping to other provinces will cost a few hundred dollars more.”

Hearing this, Ma Kui couldn't help it: "I didn't expect such an expensive fish! Whether it's shad or herring, they can be called golden fish!"

Zhong Wanlong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Among the edible fish, shad and herring are indeed expensive. But compared with some ornamental fish, they are not worth mentioning. As we all know, koi has always been the most expensive fish in the ornamental fish industry. As far as I know, the highest auction price for a single koi has exceeded 500 million!"

"Uh..." Ma Kui was stunned speechless.

Linley was also very surprised: "So, the top ornamental fish can compete with the top bonsai?"

"Indeed. Xiaolei, don't you want to breed koi?"

"That's impossible. If koi can also be mass-produced, it is impossible to raise such a high price."

What Linley said was already summed up when he was studying bonsai.

Whether it is the top bonsai or the top ornamental fish, they are hard to come by, or they are carefully cultivated by experts.

And all energy-produced things cannot be sold at sky-high prices.

Another example is luxury goods, cars, and even clothing. If you want to sell them at sky-high prices, they must be handcrafted, or limited to the world, and it is impossible to produce them in a factory assembly line.After all, rare things are expensive.

There is a very famous case where a person once obtained two of the seven limited edition stamps in the world.The other five have all been destroyed.That is to say, the two postage stamps he holds are the only two left in the world, and the experts' valuation sheet is 1000 million!Two is 2000 million.And before the auction, in front of all the bidders, he set one of them on fire and burned it to ashes.

Then the other one is unique in the world.As a result, the only one left was sold at a sky-high price of 5000 million, and he earned several times more money than expected.

A deep understanding of the truth that rare things are valuable is also the reason why Linley only treats bonsai as a side job and doesn't put much thought into it.

Zhong Wanlong also praised Linley's awareness: "Xiao Lei, it seems that you have been able to develop smoothly to where you are today, not because of luck, but because of deep-seated reasons."

"Uncle Zhong congrats." Linley waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's get back to the topic. After Jing Linger said this, I decided to breed herring. This kind of fish is not only of high economic value, but also not worry about sales, but more importantly What's more, it is a special product of this city. If I raise the herring and sell it, it will also enhance the reputation of our city."

"That's right. The herring is indeed one of the city's business cards. If you raise the herring well, it's like plating gold on this business card. But... there is a very important question."

"Are you talking about the difficulty of farming?"

Zhong Wanlong waved his hand: "You just said that the difficulty of breeding can protect the green, and the old man believes in you. What the old man wants to say is that it is not easy to find herring fry."

"Why, there is no sale in the market?"

Zhong Ling shook his head and said: "There are some for sale, but there are only three in the whole city. Because so far, there are only three of them in the whole country, which can realize the artificial breeding of herring, and the output is not large. The fish raised have always been It’s a hot commodity. Herring is their unique business, and they have almost formed a monopoly.”

"No..." Linley asked curiously, "Isn't the country prohibiting commercial monopoly? How dare they guard the fish fry and refuse to sell it?"

"Of course they won't say they won't sell them. They will only say that fry are scarce and they don't even have enough for their own family. How can they sell them? Before you, there must have been many people who wanted to breed herring, but I haven't heard of anyone buying fry. Linley, otherwise, you should raise shad."

Ma Kui also nodded and said: "Brother Lei, since you can't buy fish fry, you can use shad or other fish, it's all about making money anyway."

"No!" Linley shook his head, "Just raise herring! As for the fry, I will think of a way!"
