In the Caojiazhuang Village Committee office, Cao Jianlong was sitting on his office chair. When he heard the price Cao Shujie told him, his body suddenly stood up like a spring.
His eyes widened: "I remember the calves they bought in Qingyun Village and Jinxiu Village in May were only 5,100 yuan each, right? It's only been 5 months, and it's increased by another 300 yuan. Damn it, again.
If prices continue to rise like this, we won’t make any money raising cattle anymore.”
After finishing speaking, Cao Jianlong still had an expression of lingering anger on his face.
Judging from the way he was gnashing his teeth, Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao could probably hand him a knife if they were in front of him.
Cao Shujie sighed. He had communicated with Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao and told them Liu Jiping and Zhu Xinfa's quotation of 5,300 yuan.
However, Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao also had very simple ideas. They always insisted that Liu Jiping and Zhu Xinfa were bred by themselves, and the cost was relatively low.
The two of them bought half of their calves through other channels. The purchase cost itself was not low, and they had to pay for the freight. The price increase for Cao Shujie was really not much.
In their opinion, the 100 yuan cannot be reduced under any circumstances!
"Shujie, otherwise we won't buy from them!" Cao Jianlong said fiercely, gritting his teeth.
Cao Shujie said: "Uncle Long, this is not the time to be impulsive. If we don't buy from Boss Cui and Boss Feng, where can we buy so many calves in a short time?"
"Besides, it will take some time for the two of them to prepare the 5,000 calves," Cao Shujie said.
But Cao Jianlong still felt uncomfortable: "Otherwise, if I go out and look for it, there will always be a solution."
"It doesn't matter if they increase the price, but I think everything should be negotiable. This time I will let them increase the price. If they continue to increase the price next time, will it be possible to agree to it?" Cao Jianlong was not convinced.
He said: "The quantity we want is so large, we should have pricing power..."
As he talked, even he himself didn't believe it.
Cattle raising is a hot business at this stage. Buying calves mainly depends on the seller's market. The buyer really does not have an advantage at this time.
Cao Shujie had a serious expression on his face: "Uncle Long, no matter how much it costs this time, we must raise our own cows and breed calves. Only in this way can we fundamentally reduce costs."
Cao Jianlong didn't hesitate at all this time. He also realized that if Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative wants to continue on this path for a long time, it must achieve self-breeding of calves.
After all, the price of calves has increased significantly every year since 11 years old. Sometimes the price increases two or three times a year. The most exaggerated one is the 12-year-old calves. Compared with the 11-year-old calves, the price has directly doubled.
It is said that the price of some calves has increased to six to seven thousand yuan a head.
In this case, if they continue to buy calves from the market, one reason is that the breeding cost is too high, and the other point is that the breeding cost is out of control. This kind of feeling of being led by the nose is very bad.
"Actually, I know this very well, and I can't blame Boss Cui and Boss Feng, but if the market continues like this, it's too unhealthy and it will collapse sooner or later." Cao Jianlong sighed.
Cao Shujie thought for a while and said: "Uncle Long, let me tell all the folks who are shareholders in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative that we will breed a large number of cows from this year and breed our own calves, so that they don't have too high expectations for next year's profit dividends.
hope."
"Okay, I'll give Lao Zhu and Lao Zhuang some air first, and then gather everyone together and ask whoever is unwilling to participate in the company can choose to withdraw." This is what Cao Jianlong said.
Cao Shujie also agreed with his statement.
As Cao Jianlong said, when villagers know that the current breeding costs of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative are getting higher and lower, and profits are getting lower and lower, some farmers may be unwilling to continue to participate in shares and will choose to cash out early.
"If there is such a thing, take back their shares." Cao Jianlong was not ambiguous at all.
Cao Shujie also agreed to do this.
…
After the two of them finished talking, Cao Shujie went home first. He had to go back to help Mengmeng with her homework.
After entering elementary school, Mengmeng can no longer play as she wants like in kindergarten. She has Chinese homework and math homework almost every day.
Most of the time, Mengmeng's writing was okay, but there were some questions that even a child as smart as Mengmeng couldn't solve. At this time, Cao Shujie needed to explain them to her.
Cao Jianlong was not in a hurry to leave. He called Zhu Hongwei, Zhuang Xuejian and other six people in the Caojiazhuang Village Committee office and asked them to come to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee as soon as possible.
When Zhu Hongwei and the other six asked what was going on, Cao Jianlong told them that it had something to do with Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative.
Upon hearing this, none of Zhu Hongwei and the other six people dared to be vague, and they all drove or rode motorcycles or electric cars towards the Caojiazhuang Village Committee.
After arriving, as soon as they sat down, they heard Cao Jianlong telling them about the price of calves this month.
"Shujie just inquired about a batch of calves, but the price has increased by 300 yuan per head compared to the batch Lao Ye bought in May. I estimate that the price of calves will continue to rise in the future.
Shujie and I were discussing this issue just now. What we both meant was that Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative would purchase cows and breed calves, and we would produce and sell them ourselves to control costs."
"But as a result, our profit dividends next year will be greatly reduced. The reason I called you here today is to explain this to you."
"When you go back, make it clear to the folks in your village who are shareholders in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative. If they are still willing to continue to participate in the cooperative, tell them that the dividend situation in the next two to three years is not optimistic."
"If they are unwilling to participate in the shares, we will also cash them in advance based on this year's sales and their shareholding ratio. Anyway, no matter what, we must not let the villagers suffer!" This is the result of his discussion with Cao Shujie.
After Cao Jianlong finished speaking what he wanted to express in one breath, he sat on the chair with a calm expression, reached for the water glass, and slowly took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
It also gave Zhu Hongwei, Zhuang Xuejian and the other six village party secretaries time to react.
The other four people are the village party secretaries of Qingyun Village, Jinxiu Village, Yelou Village and Qiuxia Village.
What Cao Jianlong didn't expect was that after listening to what he said, the six of them did not rush to ask about the withdrawal of shares, but asked him a question first.
"Secretary Jianlong, is this also what Director Cao meant?" Ye Chenguang, the village party secretary of Yelou Village, asked.
Cao Jianlong nodded: "Didn't I make it very clear just now? Shujie and I have already discussed that we will buy a group of cows and breed calves ourselves."
"This will definitely occupy more funds, and the profits from dividends will definitely decrease in a short period of time."
Everyone understood, and Zhu Hongwei laughed: "Secretary Cao, since it is Director Cao's intention, then Secretary Cao, why are you asking us to do it? Let's do what Director Cao said to do. We people in Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative
On all issues, I will definitely follow Director Cao’s arrangements without any hesitation.”
Zhuang Xuejian, Ye Chenguang and other five people also nodded.
Another village party secretary in Qingyun Village, Qian Hua, is also a middle-aged man in his early 50s and was once a veteran.
He said simply: "Secretary Cao, there is no need to ask the villagers in our village who are shareholders, they will definitely not withdraw."
"They are not stupid. They will distribute less money next year in order to distribute more money in the future. Don't you understand this?"
"Yes, what Secretary Qian said makes sense. There is no need to ask about this matter, just leave it as it is." Diao Shijun, the village party secretary of Qiuxia Village, also said.
But Cao Jianlong still advised them: "Can you guys stop being so overbearing? I think you should tell the villagers who have shares in your village after you go back, in case you really want to withdraw?"
"The relationship is great. I'm worried about who to buy some shares from. If anyone quits, tell me and I will borrow money to buy his shares." Zhuang Xuejian was ahead of the others and said neatly.
Express a stance.
Cao Jianlong: "..."
He had nothing to say.
In fact, he thought the same way.
But Zhu Hongwei said to him: "Secretary Zhuang, I find that you are ugly, but you only want to do good things!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongwei turned to Cao Jianlong and asked: "Secretary Cao, if a villager in another village wants to withdraw his shares, can I buy his shares?"
"Zhu, why don't you fucking die!" Zhuang Xuejian clenched his fist and wanted to rush up and beat him.
Just now he was openly scolded, and now he wanted these shares. Zhuang Xuejian couldn't figure out whether there was anyone more shameless than Zhu Hongwei in the world?
Not only the two of them, but the village party secretaries of the other four villages also got into a fuss, and everyone expressed their opinions that they could raise money.
As long as anyone shouts to quit, they will buy out the shares, and they also say that this mess will not embarrass Caojiazhuang.
Cao Jianlong looked at this matter and didn't develop it in the direction he wanted. He was so angry that he didn't want to speak.
…
When Cao Shujie returned home, he saw his daughter sitting at the desk he bought for her, doing her homework.
What is being written is the Pinyin alphabet.
Overall, Mengmeng has laid a solid foundation in this area and her writing is very smooth.
Her handwriting is also very beautiful.
Cao Shujie watched patiently from the side. After Mengmeng finished writing, when he was about to write his math homework, Cao Shujie took the Chinese homework book and checked it, and found no obvious problems.
"Dad, why did you come back?" Mengmeng asked him again.
Cao Shujie told her that he had just gone to discuss matters with her Grandpa Jianlong.
"Oh, you have something to do every day." Mengmeng said this.
Cao Shujie looked at the little guy and noticed that his daughter's tone was not kind.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Cao Shujie asked.
He still wanted to hear what his daughter was thinking, but he heard Mengmeng say: "I have nothing to do, I just see my mother looking after my brother at home. I am very tired."
Cao Shujie understood instantly.
When he was thinking about going upstairs to help his wife take care of the children, he suddenly came back, walked to his daughter, and asked her in a low voice: "Mengmeng, did you want to say this yourself, or did your mother ask you to say it?"
"Why did mom say that?" Mengmeng was a little confused.
Cao Shujie asked no more questions and ran to the second floor in a few steps. He saw his wife holding her son and walking back and forth in the small room outside.
After entering late October, the temperature became lower and lower, and Cao Shujie had already turned on the heating boiler in advance.
It's just that the temperature needs to be set a little lower. It's over 20 degrees in the room, so the temperature is very suitable.
Cheng Xiaolin heard movement behind her, saw her husband coming up, and asked him if he was done?
"I'm done. The rest is Uncle Long's work. I won't be needed for a while." Cao Shujie said this.
Cheng Xiaolin did not listen to her husband.
Her husband has good intentions, but all kinds of unexpected things always happen to him.
At this point, Cheng Xiaolin was also speechless.
Cao Yirui was lying on his mother's shoulder, trying to straighten his neck, his eyes looking everywhere. When he saw Cao Shujie, he kept staring.
At this time, his neck cannot be straightened for too long. Soon he will be held in Cheng Xiaolin's arms and walked back and forth. This posture is very tiring.
Cao Shujie went to wash his hands, changed his clothes, and then took his son from his wife's arms: "I'll watch him for a while, you go and rest first."
"Oh, today is so good." Cheng Xiaolin was a little surprised.
Cao Shujie didn't like hearing this. He stared and said when did he perform poorly?
"You're such a busy person, how many days a month can you be at home?" Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to ask him.
When it comes to this point, Cao Shujie has no confidence.
He said: "When I finish working these days, I will stay with you three at home every day."
But Cheng Xiaolin still didn't believe it: "Forget it, Shujie, just go about your business and you don't have to worry about family matters."
Cao Shujie wanted to tell his wife that if I didn't care anymore, even Mengmeng would have objections to me, but he didn't say it out in the end.
Instead, he told his wife about another thing.
"Uncle Xiang called me two days ago and asked to come to our place to attend the dividend meeting next month. Do you think it's strange?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.
But Cheng Xiaolin thought this was normal: "What's so strange about this? You should think about it. A village has made more than 100 million by raising cattle. What is the concept of this?"
Cheng Xiaolin specially reminded her husband.
Cao Shujie was stunned at what his wife said.
He was used to it and didn't feel anything special.
Cheng Xiaolin continued: "Have you ever thought about it? Before Caojiazhuang collectively planted kiwis and raised cattle, how much money could we villagers earn in a year?"
"I remember the national statistics, the per capita income in rural areas is more than 9,000 yuan." Cao Shujie opened his mouth and was deeply impressed by this set of figures.
But Cheng Xiaolin sneered: "You also said that is a statistical data, the real situation must be lower than this number."
"You only earn a few thousand yuan a year, but now you earn more than 100 million a year, and you get tens of millions in dividends. Every household gets at least tens of thousands of yuan in pure profit. Have you ever thought about what this concept is?" Cheng Xiaolin asked.
he.
Only then did Cao Shujie realize what an awesome thing he had done.
"Shujie, you don't even know how good you are!" Cheng Xiaolin sighed!
