Based on Niu Guangming's suggestion, Cao Shujie ordered 20 acres of strawberry seedlings based on the number of 8,000 strawberry seedlings per acre.
Based on the calculation of 6 cents per seedling, the investment in this area is 96,000 yuan.
Cao Shujie first gave Niu Guangming a deposit of 20,000 yuan. After signing an agreement with him, Niu Guangming was responsible for delivering the seedlings Cao Shujie wanted to Caojiazhuang in batches.
Cao Shujie found 16 more people from the village to plant strawberry seedlings.
Taking these 16 people as an example, based on their maximum planting volume of 4 acres per day, it will take five days to complete the seedlings on 20 acres of land, and there will be other work such as mulching.
When Niu Guangming saw that there was a breeding area next to Cao Shujie's orchard, where 50 cows were roaming freely, and there was a special area on the other side with some already decomposed cow dung, he was particularly interested in Cao Shujie.
admire.
This inner loop is simply amazing!
It took 16 people a full week to plant all the strawberry seedlings in 20 acres of land and complete other aspects.
During this period, Cao Shujie contacted Chen Lei to expedite the installation of integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment for him. The ground in this area had been repaired for planting strawberries, making it easier to work.
The foundation for this area has been laid in the early stage. Just connect the pipe to the pressure pump on the side and the flow will be diverted here. In this way, the construction is simple and the cost is not that high. The investment in this area alone is less than 4,000 yuan per mu of land.
.
Including labor, strawberry seedling costs and other hidden costs, the investment in planting strawberry seedlings per acre has exceeded 8,000 yuan.
And these are some of the things. For example, using decomposed cow dung as base fertilizer does not require extra money. In this aspect, Cao Shujie has at least saved about 500 yuan per mu of land.
When the time entered from mid-October to late October, the temperature gradually dropped. After busy planting strawberry seedlings, Cao Shujie was not idle. During the day, he, his father Cao Jianguo, and Cao Shuchao were busy in the orchard on the mountain.
After returning home in the evening, in addition to playing with Mengmeng, Cao Shujie calmed down again and began to read a large number of books related to agricultural planting and livestock breeding. In addition to consolidating the knowledge he had learned before, he was also acquiring new knowledge.
The people in Caojiazhuang saw Cao Shujie's gains, but they didn't know the efforts Cao Shujie made in places they couldn't see.
But after planting strawberry seedlings, many people in Caojiazhuang knew that Cao Shujie's orchard now had a long-term worker, Cao Shuchao.
After unexpectedly learning the news, there were still people who wanted to apply for Cao Shujie's job like Cao Shuchao. However, as soon as Cao Jianguo saw the person, he privately told his son that his work was in vain and that he was a lazy person. If he got in, he would be asking for trouble.
Cao Shujie finally closed the recruitment temporarily on the grounds that there was no shortage of people in the orchard.
He doesn't need someone who is just pretending to be a fake person, but he really needs someone who understands technology.
In addition, people in Caojiazhuang felt that Cao Shujie had invested hundreds of thousands more in planting strawberry seedlings. They felt that this kind of 'news' was already commonplace. Compared with Cao Shujie's previous investment of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, which was rumored to be crazy,
This was nothing at all. They didn't think it was a big fuss anymore. They were just chatting in private. They were all worried about whether they could make back the investment after investing so much.
While Cao Shujie's career was booming, Cao Jianhua's life has not been very good recently.
——
In September, he went to the Qingshi Town Branch of Yiling Rural Commercial Bank to apply for an interest-free loan from Ma Changrong. In view of Cao Jianhua's comprehensive repayment ability, the bank approved him an interest-free loan of 360,000 yuan, which was the same as what Cao Shujie applied for before.
The interest will be paid first every month, and the principal will be returned to the bank in one lump sum after three years. The bank will then refund all the interest paid by Cao Jianhua in the past three years to Cao Jianhua.
Supporting the economic construction and development of towns and villages is a general direction of the rural commercial bank in the near future, and it is also very fast in approving loans.
After Cao Jianhua got the money, he rushed to buy piglets and planned to raise them first. Later, when his pockets were bulging, he would consider other infrastructure construction.
However, the price of piglets this year is relatively expensive. The price of piglets Cao Jianhua purchased in September was 45.8 yuan per kilogram.
The average weight of the batch of piglets Cao Jianhua purchased was 13 kilograms. Calculating this, the price of a piglet is about 600 yuan.
Cao Jianhua is not worried about this figure. Prices are similar across the country, and compared to the beginning of the year, the price of pork in September is not cheap, rising to about 14 yuan per catty.
Cao Jianhua's idea is very simple. Although the investment is larger now, the price of pork may continue to rise, and he will make more money by then.
He gritted his teeth and bought 300 piglets at one time, and he spent half of the loan he got on this. He didn't spend the rest of the money randomly, just to buy corn, bean cakes and other feeds.
.
Cao Jianhua felt happy every day as he watched 300 piglets running, growing, and gaining weight in the mountainous area contracted by him. He imagined that in three or four months, these piglets would all grow into adults weighing about 200 kilograms.
If the pigs meet the standards for slaughter, then they can take advantage of the good market conditions before the Spring Festival and earn a lot of money by selling them.
If he hadn't had enough money, he would have even thought about buying some more piglets.
When the time comes, he can go home and show off in front of his wife to let her know what he is capable of!
He also sets an example for his son, proves that he is the right man, and makes his son Cao Ming proud too.
In a few years, I will buy a house for my son to get married. If I have to pay for the loan, go ahead and buy it in full.
Cao Jianhua thinks very well and is very motivated in his work.
He couldn't handle the job of feeding pigs by himself, so he followed Cao Shujie's example and hired two people to work for him at a price of 35 yuan a day. It was a bit dirty and tiring, and he had to endure the smell of pig manure every day, but there was nothing else.
However, what Cao Jianhua did not expect was that the market situation suddenly changed so quickly!
When he bought the piglets in September, the price was still 45.8 yuan per kilogram. But after entering October, the price of the piglets dropped off a cliff, reaching 36 yuan. However, the price was still unstable.
It looks like it will continue to fall.
After Cao Jianhua accidentally heard the news, he was stunned.
In just one month, he purchased this batch of piglets at a discount of more than 9 yuan per kilogram. The average discount per pig was around 110 yuan. He purchased 300 piglets in just one month.
The overall compensation was 35,000 yuan.
During this period, the cost of various feeds and labor costs must be added. When combined, the loss will be even more.
Cao Jianhua immediately panicked.
And this is just the beginning. As the number of pigs sold in the market continues to increase on a large scale, the further rise in pork prices in the early market has delayed people's demand for pork. Instead, the price of pork has fallen sharply, and the prices of live pigs and piglets have fallen further.
, the magnitude of the decline has frightened farmers.
During that time, Cao Jianhua's mood went from the ecstasy after he first took out a loan to buy piglets, to the panic after learning that the price had dropped. He felt that he had experienced ups and downs in his life in less than two months.
At this moment, the idea of buying a house for his son, getting married, and showing off his authority in front of his wife was gone. Instead, he was faced with a quarrel with his wife after returning home.
His wife Gao Hong is not stupid. Ever since Cao Jianhua's loan was approved and she started buying piglets, Gao Hong was very happy at first and felt that their family might really be about to undergo a major change.
But who knew that the market changes so quickly that people are caught off guard.
When the price of the pork wholesaled from the market in their supermarket dropped from 12 yuan per catty to 11 yuan per catty, Gao Hong felt nothing. But when the wholesale price of pork continued to fall to 10 yuan per catty, Gao Hong felt it.
Realized something was wrong.
While the price of pork fell, the prices of piglets and live pigs also fell sharply. From that moment on, Gao Hong could not laugh at all.
In more than a month, I lost more than 30,000 yuan!
Even if they run a comprehensive supermarket, they cannot accept this result.
But it wasn't over yet. When it entered late October, Cao Jianhua had been inquiring about the prices of piglets and live pigs on the market. The latest price for piglets he heard from others was more than 32 yuan per kilogram.
It dropped another 4 yuan.
Cao Jianhua almost shed tears.
But it happened that at this time, Cao Shujie, the most dishonest person in Caojiazhuang, started to grow strawberries again. He built a pig pen, but never raised it. The market price of the cattle he raised has been very stable. Not only has it not fallen, but it has also increased slightly.
prices rise.
Vomiting blood!
This morning, Cao Jianhua wore a dusty coat and rode a motorcycle to the pig farm on the southern mountain.
Unlike Cao Shujie's side, Cao Jianhua had no money to build a road. When he came to the foot of the mountain, he could only leave his motorcycle here and walk up a mountain road that was not too steep but not easy to walk.
Inside the barbed wire guardrail, more than 300 white-haired pigs were running around, and the two people he found were working diligently inside, feeding the pigs.
Cao Jianhua's heart bleeds when he sees these pigs, but he has no choice. Even if he loses money, he has to continue to raise them and continue to invest in feed. When they reach the slaughter standard, he sells them as soon as possible. There is still hope of making money.
He is now placing his hope on this year's Spring Festival, because the demand for pork during this special period will stimulate the market's pork and live pig prices to increase again.
He is very calm now and does not expect to make much money. He will be successful if he can break even his capital by then.
The ups and downs of market behavior completely beat Cao Jianhua. Now he looked back and thought about his interview with Cao Shujie, and realized that he had said similar things to him before.
The difficulties of raising pigs are not limited to various diseases!
It's just that he didn't understand at the time, and couldn't listen to what Cao Shujie said to him. He didn't realize that the market was so cruel.
When the two people working inside saw Cao Jianhua coming, they both stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to greet him.
"Jianhua, how are you? The price of pigs has started to rise."
Another person followed up and said: "Even so, it can't just fall but not rise. It doesn't make sense."
"Jianhua, I'm thinking that if you sell all your pigs during the Chinese New Year, you will definitely make a lot of money."
What he didn't say was whether he would be given some New Year money at that time.
Hearing the word 'make money', Cao Jianhua's inner mania, which had finally been calmed down, was aroused again. He immediately yelled loudly: "Stop fucking around and work hard, I will lose a lot."
"..."
The two people who had just spoken were speechless when they saw Cao Jianhua's irritable face, and then lowered their heads and continued working.
They can tell by looking at words and expressions that the price of pork may not only not get better, but may even get worse!
"Grandma, I don't have the ability. If you lose your temper as much as we do, look at how good Shujie is if he doesn't do it."
"Jianjun, you'd better say less, do you still want to make money?"
"Damn it, it's so hard to earn this money."
But they had to face reality, and the two of them started to get busy again.
After Cao Jianhua walked around the farm, he also went to mix the feed. The more work he could do, the less people he would hire, and a lot of money would be left over after a long time.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed. Seeing the moon climbing up into the sky, Cao Jianhua, Cao Jianjun, and Cao Shuai pushed the cart again and spread the feed. After washing their hands and the pig manure on their rain boots, they left the pig farm and went their separate ways.
go home.
People you meet on the road can smell their pungent smell from a distance. Fortunately, Cao Jianhua is riding a motorcycle and he is not in the mood to stop and chat with other people on the road.
All the way back home, when he was about to push his motorcycle into the house, Cao Jianhua suddenly saw three familiar figures. He stopped the motorcycle and stood there waiting.
The next moment, he shouted to the figure coming from the north: "Brother Jianguo, Shujie, are you busy?"
Yes, it was Cao Shujie, his father Cao Jianguo, and Cao Shuchao who came from the north.
They had just finished their work and were ready to go home for dinner.
Hearing Cao Jianhua calling someone, Cao Jianguo greeted him with a smile: "Brother Jianhua, how are you doing lately."
This is a normal way of saying hello. Cao Jianhua also knew that Cao Jianguo didn't mean anything else, so he didn't get angry. He shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "Brother Jianguo, it's really hard to do this!"
"What?" Cao Jianguo stopped and looked at him.
Cao Jianhua was not afraid of being laughed at by others. After he finished talking about the market situation of pork, he lamented: "I didn't expect that there would be such a big change in just over a month."
"Uncle Hua, this is normal, the cyclical changes of pork." Cao Shujie clearly remembered that there were times when pork was cheaper than vegetables, and there were times when the price of pork was comparable to beef.
There is no way to say this, unless you can control the market pricing power, but if you really get to that point, there is no need to worry about the three melons and two dates now.
After working for two months, Cao Jianhua now knows this truth. He asked Cao Shujie: "Shujie, do you think the price of pork will rise during the Chinese New Year this year?"
He may have the answer in his heart, but he still wants others to give him reassurance.
Cao Shujie hesitated, and then said: "Uncle Hua, I can't say, but every household will buy pork during the Chinese New Year. The demand for pork is huge. According to common sense, the price will rise."
"Oh, you and I are thinking the same thing." The expression on Cao Jianhua's face looked much more relaxed.
He said: "Shujie, when you are free someday, I will treat you to a drink and we can have a good chat."
