Perhaps because of the approaching summer, the snow disaster is not as severe as expected. In contrast, the domestic situation is not optimistic.
In fact, it is not just the country, but the entire northern hemisphere is in the midst of ice and snow. From the current point of view, this round of snow disaster is much more severe than in the previous two years.
In this way, the Great Ice Age seems to be not just a simple joke.
Affected by the disaster, Europe and the Americas have fallen into turmoil again. All signs indicate that all parties are actively preparing for war and the war seems to be about to make a comeback.
After the heavy snow stopped, Dabao took all the employees to clean the farm again before the school resumed classes.
The poultry and livestock at home are ready.
It will be shipped tomorrow.
Among them, there are more than 200 chickens, ducks, geese, more than 100 rabbits, five sheep, three sika deer, and more than a dozen pairs of pigeons.
"Squad leader, squad leader, come out and take a look."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Just as Dabao was about to take a break, he heard his classmates shouting loudly outside the door, and he immediately ran out of the office.
"The farmers in our company blocked the door and insisted on going out and giving you an explanation."
Dabao replied subconsciously: "Where is Lao Liu?"
"Uncle Liu is not..."
"Okay, I'll go out and have a look."
Dabao waved his hand and turned his head toward the gate. Lao Liu had just left two days ago and he had not had time to recruit a new deputy director.
Or just wait for Niu Niu's father to come.
At the gate of the farm, the farmers saw that Boss Xiao Xu had come out and quickly surrounded him.
"Boss Xiao Xu, are you still harvesting the forage grass?"
"I heard that all the cows on your side are dead?"
"Mr. Xu, you can't leave us alone? In order to keep these forages, we not only bought batteries at a high price, but also burned a lot of coal for heating. You can't let honest people lose money!"
"Yes, yes, your company is responsible."
Dabao immediately waved his hand and asked everyone to calm down first: "Don't argue, I won't ignore everyone. We have problems one by one."
"Mr. Xu, are the cows really gone?"
"It's really gone." Dabao sighed, "I won't hide this from everyone. All the cows were electrocuted due to lightning accidents before, and none of them were left behind."
"The rumors are actually true..."
"What should I do?"
The crowd immediately exploded.
"Everyone tells me that although all the cows are dead, our Baochuan breeding farm will not go bankrupt. From tomorrow, the company will resume purchasing forage."
"real?"
"I am here, will I still lie to you?" Dabao patted his chest.
"Or the original price?"
"That's right, but it's impossible to have milk anymore. I hope everyone can understand it."
"I can understand, as long as the farm is not closed."
Although everyone was a little disappointed, they were acceptable than gaining nothing.
Uncle Wang blushed on the spot: "I've told you a long time ago that Boss Xiao Xu is a top student at Sydney University, not that kind of irresponsible profiteer."
"It's not easy for us, both old and young."
"Boss Xiao Xu, let's compensate you. You have a lot of it, so don't be as knowledgeable as us!"
Everyone was afraid that the other party would take back the contract of the grower.
"Don't worry, everyone." Dabao waved his hand, "It's all my fault for making the mistake of judgment. It caused such a huge loss to the farm, and it also scared you. Everyone should understand each other."
“Yes, yes, yes, mutual understanding.”
Mr. Wang carefully tentatively said: "Boss Xiao Xu, do you have any plans for the farm next? If you have financial difficulties here, it is not impossible to negotiate to check out the bill at the end of the year."
"No, our company is currently well-funded."
Dabao smiled confidently.
Thanks to my dad, the dozen or so cows were sold at high prices, and a total of more than 63 million yuan was recovered, with an average of 3,000 yuan per kilogram of beef.
Plus the ten cows left by my own home.
My dad simply transferred 100 million to him.
After deducting all costs and various foreign debts owed, the cattle farm made a full 60 million in just one year.
If we analyze it only from the perspective of return on funds, it will undoubtedly be a great success.
But this success is full of bitterness.
It also gave him a deeper understanding of doing business.
The classmate on the side added: "Next, our farm will not prepare to raise dairy cows anymore, and will instead raise other poultry and livestock. You don't have to worry about not being able to sell the grass."
"Boss Xiao Xu, is this true?"
"Really." Dabao nodded, "Although there is no milk in the farm, there will be eggs and duck eggs. The benefits will not change. The specific exchange conditions will be announced in a while."
"Baoba..."
"Very good!"
There was warm applause at the scene.
After the applause stopped, Dabao continued to announce:
"Don't rush to be happy, I have some good news to tell everyone. After you go back, you can tell me the others."
Everyone held their breath in an instant.
"Didn't all the cows died before? I specially left five for everyone, with a total of more than 6,000 kilograms of meat and bones. The company is willing to sell them to everyone at a cost price, which is considered to compensate you for the losses during this period."
Dabao didn't keep it in a silence.
Uncle Wang said in surprise: "Can you really buy meat?"
"The beef has been divided and it is stored in the company's warehouse. The price per kilogram of beef is 2,000 yuan, and you can also use forage to pay the bill."
Dabao played a trick here.
In fact, the cost price of beef is over 1,000 yuan, and the "cost" of 2,000 yuan includes the breeding investment in the past year and the construction cost of the farm.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of warm cheers rang out on the scene again. This time it took longer and lasted for several minutes.
"Mr. Xu, is beef purchase restricted?"
"Of course, each household is limited to purchase one serving, and the weight is about three kilograms, and the portion is not large. At most, it is just for the elderly and children at home to try it out."
"Three pounds are already a lot."
"Yes, I haven't had such a luxury during the Chinese New Year."
"Don't mention it. During the Chinese New Year a few years ago, I could still get some oil and water. I haven't even seen pig hair in recent years, and it's all about potatoes and cabbage."
"Mr. Xu is righteous."
Dabao smiled reservedly: "Okay, don't flatter me, there is no extra beef after slapping me. Don't block my door. Take the news back quickly. The beef will officially start selling tomorrow."
"Mr. Xu, can you sell meat today?"
Uncle Wang suddenly begged.
Beef is a good thing, of course, you can buy it early and be at ease. In addition, you can also have more choices when buying early.
Fat meat is much more valuable than lean meat and bones.
"Hare you bringing the money?"
"I didn't bring it, but the grass at home is almost piled up. I will send a truckload of grass here tomorrow, and then I will refund more and make up for it."
"Yes, more refunds, less compensation."
Growers all agreed.
Seeing that everyone was impatient, Dabao followed their wishes:
"Okay, then keep the account first."
"Long live Boss Xiao Xu!"
The atmosphere at the scene reached its climax.
...
After a while, everyone lined up in front of the warehouse gate despite the cold.
This time, more than 500 people came.
Dabao held the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "If you have read the name, go in and pick a cardboard box. Don't open it. The beef is the same. Don't regret it if you choose it. Good or bad depends on your luck."
"Isn't this the blind box I used to play?"
"That's right, this is the blind box and the fairest plan to avoid everyone being hurt.
I can guarantee you that there are meat and bones in each box. The difference is actually very small. No one can take advantage of it or suffer a big loss."
Dabao explained patiently.
"This method is good!"
"Oh, I knew I should have brought my second son here, so he has always been very lucky. He won 3,000 yuan in lottery last year!"
"Then you come back tomorrow?"
"You think I'm stupid. What if I don't have enough points tomorrow? Are you here with me?"
Growers started talking.
While everyone was disappointed, they couldn't help but show a hint of relief. At present, only a few people are willing to take a gamble, and most people would rather seek stability.
