Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1334 Three Slaps

There was a popular saying in the 1990s: "to slap your head on the spot".

Making a decision on a whim is called a flash of inspiration.

To confidently assure someone is to have a plan in mind.

Closing your back and leaving is called prioritizing the bigger picture.

……

Liu Hongliang had cut off his flowing, parted hair and given himself a neat, short buzz cut. He looked a bit darker and thinner, but also more energetic.

He smiled, revealing a set of neat white teeth, and shook hands with Xiaowei, Chen Hui, and Minister Huang, introducing the professors from the Agricultural University to the three of them.

Now, both feed companies and breeding and planting bases bear the nameplate of the Agricultural University's scientific research, and the two sides cooperate closely, each getting what they need, and everyone is happy. As soon as they heard about the idea of ​​large-scale ranching and breeding, these experts and professors immediately got restless.

For an agricultural professor, what could be more attractive than a livestock farm and a planting base? It would certainly be a larger livestock farm and a planting base.

"When I heard Xiao Hongliang say that he wanted to build a large-scale ranch and cultivate his own pasture, I couldn't sit still. Our country is weak in the field of pasture. In terms of research, we only do a little bit ourselves and have never had experience on a large scale."

Even in the field of animal husbandry, large-scale animal husbandry has always been just a slogan, existing only on paper. Currently, animal husbandry is basically done in enclosures, and the gap with foreign countries is widening.

In general, China lags behind other countries in large-scale livestock farming. It's important to understand that the quality and yield of premium products, as well as meat and milk production, are completely different between penned and pasture-raised livestock.

With the fruits of reform and opening up becoming apparent, the domestic economy is now fully recovering, and people's demand for meat and dairy products is increasing year by year, making it a market with huge potential to be tapped.

Brothers Group's vision and decisive investment in ranching will surely yield tremendous results. Our agricultural university will actively cooperate and provide strong scientific support in all aspects. ..."

As soon as he sat down, Professor Yang began to speak fluently and eagerly.

Currently, the cooperation between the brother breeding and planting base and the Agricultural University is as follows: the breeding and planting base is marked with the Agricultural University's scientific research plaque, and the Agricultural University can freely organize visits and inspections, establish project teams, conduct research and record-keeping, and organize experimental fields within a certain scope.

The feed company takes care of all the living arrangements for the teachers and students here, while the school provides the feed company with various technical support services. Their already limited budget can be entirely used for equipment and instruments.

This is a win-win situation.

Liu Hongliang was quite familiar with these professors, so he patted Professor Yang's arm and said, "Well, Uncle Yang, we're all on the same side, there's no need for you to give a report to show your determination."

Professor Yang glared at Liu Hongliang, then laughed sheepishly. Truly, doing scientific research is a complicated matter.

Xiao Wei said, "The livestock breeding project has been decided, and we're definitely going to do it. But how to do it and how big to do it are things we'd like to hear your opinions on, since you're the experts."

General Huang is our partner; the land we need will be provided by General Huang, who will also be responsible for future production safety.

Minister Huang said, "Let's first synthesize the opinions, and I'll also listen to the experts' thoughts, and then we'll select a location. I'll arrange a few helicopters, and we'll fly around from south to north a few times to see the actual sites."

Professor Yang and two other professors discussed it briefly, then asked Xiao Wei, "Chairman Zhang, what are the company's thoughts on funding and scale?"

Xiao Wei said, "Meat and dairy products can basically meet the sales needs of supermarkets and convenience stores, and there is a surplus to guarantee the production of processed products. Processed products also need to meet the needs of the entire self-owned sales system. At least the minimum needs will be met for the next three years."

Liu Hongliang opened his briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and placed them on the table: "These are the sales records for milk, dairy products, and various poultry, eggs, fresh meat, and meat products in supermarkets and convenience stores over the past three months."

What we lack for now are purely ethnic specialty products like milk wine and cheese, which we didn't have before.

Before I left, I spoke with Manager Chen and the others. They said they would be adding more related products and setting up a Mongolian-themed counter starting this month, but sales figures wouldn't be available for three to five months.

Chen Hui said, "I feel that the sales volume of mare's milk wine, goat's milk wine, and cheese may not be very large. Dairy products are still mainly fresh milk powder and dairy beverages."

Professor Yang said, "This can be exported. We Han Chinese probably won't have a huge demand for it, but neighboring countries have a pretty large demand, such as Outer Mongolia, *** countries, and the Xinjiang region."

Minister Huang said, "We can learn from Yili in some aspects; they started out with Hui Muslim food products."

Chen Hui said, "Their focus right now is on ice cream and desserts, which I'm not interested in. Yogurt products, though, are fine."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Yeah, that's what I think too. Fresh milk, milk powder, yogurt, milk tablets, other dairy products, and ice cream are all out of the question."

Minister Huang said, "The profit margin on that stuff is quite considerable."

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui shook their heads at the same time, looked at each other and laughed. Minister Huang said, "You two are really in sync. Well, with your current size, you really don't care about this."

Xiao Wei said, "It's not that we don't care, but our main business is supermarkets and convenience stores, and our products are all related to our main business, which doesn't fit with ice cream."

Chen Hui said, "Yes, Xiao Wei often says that you can't just focus on making money and not prioritize. There are many ways to make money, but you can't do everything. You still have to focus on your main business."

Liu Hongliang said, "Main business my ass! What does it have to do with pig feed? You've turned me, a perfectly good young man, into a pig farmer and manure collector, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
