Chapter 470 The ‘takers’ are coming one after another (500.01 million)
Cao Shubin was still worried and called his cousin Cao Shujie.
After waiting for the call to be connected, Cao Shubin told them about the video they had seen and asked his cousin if he needed help.
"Brother, although I don't have many connections, I have accumulated some social resources over the years. If you need anything, just let me know."
"If you come here to find justice, tell me that we brothers will go together. At worst, we will bring two more knives. I don't believe there is anything that can't be settled."
Hearing what his cousin said, Cao Shujie was not only moved, but also moved.
"Brother, it's okay, just don't worry. If it comes to that, I will definitely call you." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shubin burst out laughing, feeling that the relationship between their brothers had taken a further step.
"Shujie, how are you doing lately? Our grandpa is doing well too, right?" Cao Shubin asked.
Regarding the support of the elderly Cao Zhenghu, they used to take care of him for one year.
But Cao Zhenghu has his concerns. He is now 84 years old, and he may not have an accident anytime soon.
At this time, Cao Zhenghu didn't want to go out anymore. He wanted to stay in his hometown. If one day it really came to an end, it would be considered as a fallen leaf returning to its roots.
Cao Shujie said to his cousin: "Brother, don't worry, our grandpa is fine. He still goes out for half an hour every evening."
Speaking of this, Cao Shujie mentioned another thing: "Brother, the yellow-heart kiwifruit and red-heart kiwifruit planted in my orchard will be ripe next month. If you have time, come back and pick some."
Cao Shubin was very excited. In this case, he could take this opportunity to go back to see his grandfather, and by the way, go to his cousin's orchard and pick some kiwi fruits to eat.
"And that beef." Cao Shubin was still thinking about the taste of the beef he ate when he went back for the New Year. He still thinks about it to this day.
"Okay, when Yixin and Yichuan go on summer vacation next month, I will take them back together." Cao Shubin said this.
Cao Shujie expressed welcome.
The brothers chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie didn't expect that his cousin had seen the video.
It seems that this video spread very quickly.
I just don’t know when the Quancheng Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market can watch this video?
What excuses will they make for their inaction?
Or send someone to negotiate with me?
Cao Shujie was thinking in his heart. He didn't wait for a call from Quancheng Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market, but he waited for a call from Cui Jingguo.
Cui Jingguo told him that the calf was ready and asked him when it would be convenient to deliver it.
"My boss Cui, are you ready? Why did it take so long this time?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Don’t blame Cao Shujie for complaining. He sold 99 calves since the ninth day of May. Cao Shujie called Cui Dingguo at that time to pre-order a new batch of calves.
But I waited and waited, June was almost over, and then I got the call from Cui Jingguo that the calf was ready.
This efficiency is really not very good.
"Boss Cao, I can't help it. Now that I've seen the profits from raising cattle, there are too many people buying calves. I've gone everywhere to get them for you. I've just collected 200 calves. Do you want them?" Cui Jingguo asked him.
Cao Shujie definitely said: "If you have time today, just send it to me."
But it was too late to load the car today, so Cui Jingguo told Cao Shujie to deliver it early tomorrow morning.
"Okay, let's settle the bill tomorrow." Cao Shujie agreed.
"Boss Cao, let's agree first, we will add another two hundred yuan for each head of this batch." Cui Jinguo mentioned this batch again.
This was what they had discussed before, and it was 200 yuan more expensive than the batch Cao Shujie bought at the beginning of the year.
According to the price they agreed upon, this batch costs 3,700 yuan per head, totaling 740,000 yuan.
Regardless of other breeding costs, the cost of purchasing pure calves is getting higher and higher.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie was still lamenting that calves are becoming more and more expensive now, and the profits from raising cattle have actually been further compressed.
If there is no scientific management and centralized breeding scale, entering cattle breeding at this time, although there is still a little profit, the profit margin is not as big as it was at the beginning.
For ordinary people, it is not appropriate to raise cattle at this time. If you don't do it right, you may even lose money.
But the common people don't listen. They don't see the huge risks here. They always think that others make money by raising cattle, just as they make money by raising cattle.
However, many people have not considered that the price for others to buy calves may be very low, like what he did before.
Or maybe others are doing large-scale farming and buying forage and feed in bulk, and the price is much cheaper than buying it individually.
This is like another issue that Cao Shujie heard from Ren Yukun, the owner of Shuanglu Breeding Park. Ren Yukun told him at that time that breeding sika deer was not necessarily profitable.
Because the investment in everything from deer seedlings, to feeding, to labor, to venues, etc. is so huge that ordinary people simply can't afford it.
And if you don’t have a certain scale to breed these things, the profits will not be as impressive as you might imagine.
"I have to hold a meeting with the people in the village later." Cao Shujie also had his own considerations in mind.
From now on, it seems that it is a very unwise decision to raise cattle freely in each household.
Cao Shujie is thinking of a new model.
If a family wants to raise cattle, they can use the number of calves as equity capital and set up a public breeding farm in Caojiazhuang for centralized breeding. When they sell the fattening cattle next year and make a profit, the profits will be distributed according to the equity capital invested.
In this case, even if one of the cows dies due to illness, no matter who bought the cow, the risk will be shared equally among everyone, which can reduce the risk of breeding.
In addition, we can also reduce breeding costs and increase profits through centralized large-scale breeding methods and scientific management methods.
"As for the labor of breeding, it's easy to arrange, let each farmer take turns to be on duty." Cao Shujie thought to himself.
This is actually a variant of agricultural cooperatives.
It’s similar to how they focus on planting kiwi fruit now.
The purpose is to unify management, reduce costs, increase profits, and improve risk resistance.
After thinking about it in his mind, Cao Shujie was not in a hurry to go to Cao Jianlong to discuss the matter, nor was he in a hurry to gather all the people engaged in breeding in the village to discuss it. Instead, he went to the orchard on the mountain first.
He wanted to tell Cao Shuchao in advance that Cui Jingguo would send 200 calves over tomorrow, and he should also be prepared here.
…
Half an hour later, Cao Shujie came to the mountain and told Cao Shuchao about the incident. Cao Shuchao did not appear particularly surprised.
To him, this was normal.
The largest batch Cao Shujie purchased was 300 calves. If 200 calves only come tomorrow, what does it matter?
"Shujie, if this is the case, you can raise more than 700 cattle. You are really awesome." Cao Shuchao admired him sincerely.
Looking at the entire Qingshi Town and surrounding areas, and even the entire Pingyuan County, there is no one who surpasses Cao Shujie in the scale of cattle raising.
This is really not a boast.
Cao Shuchao and the others knew very well that the annual profits brought to Cao Shujie from breeding alone were considerable.
But the outside world doesn't know much about this, and Cao Shujie has never wanted to show off to the outside world.
A typical example of making a fortune in silence.
"Brother Chao, if you work hard, the company in this town will be put into production in the next 3 to 5 months."
"When the company's various structures are fully organized, I will also take out insurance for you." Cao Shujie brought up the past.
This is something he has promised before.
Compared with other bosses who often paint cakes, Cao Shujie has an advantage. He is not just a braggart.
He will definitely find a way to accomplish what he promised, or else he won't say it at all.
Cao Shuchao is also aware of Cao Shujie's temper, and he is not worried at all about this matter.
"Shujie, don't worry, just take your time." Cao Shuchao also advised him.
I'm afraid that he is a little eager for quick success and will not be able to stabilize himself when the time comes.
"Shujie, I also saw the video you posted. Why are there such shameless people in the provincial capital?" Cao Shuchao is kind-hearted, and he doesn't know many curse words.
But after hearing what Cao Shujie shared in the video, Cao Shuchao also wanted to curse.
I even thought about going to them with a knife to argue with them.
This orchard is Cao Shujie's lifeblood, and the fruits grown are also the result of their hard work. He is not convinced that this brand is being trashed like this.
Cao Shujie waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Brother Chao, let me tell you, this matter has just begun. More and more people are paying attention to it. They will take the initiative to solve this problem in the future." Cao Shujie is very confident in this aspect.
In the next few years, the Internet will become more developed, and many things that have been unfairly treated will soon have results after they are announced to the Internet world.
But this thing is a double-edged sword. If people with a good heart use it, it will be a good thing. If people with an evil heart use it, it will be a disaster. It can easily lead to online violence.
Cao Shujie didn't want to use this trick unless he had to.
But those people did go a bit too far.
"We should punish them severely, fine them more money, and make them feel physical pain." Cao Shuchao said this. This was what he thought was the most vicious method.
But Cao Shujie smiled. For those shameless people, a fine is nothing, as long as they can make money in a short time through this method.
…
Without discussing this issue in depth with Cao Shuchao, Cao Shujie went for a walk in the orchard. He felt very happy when he saw that the kiwi fruits were getting bigger and bigger.
After the counterfeiting incident at Dafa Fruit Wholesale Market, Cao Shujie completely gave up the idea of shipping through fruit dealers, and decided to ship by himself in the future.
Unless the finished product needs to be shipped, Cao Shujie has no intention of cheating anyone else with the fruit.
The day passed unconsciously.
After Cao Shujie came down from the orchard on the mountain, when he returned home, his wife had already prepared dinner and told him about the construction progress of the factory in the town.
During dinner in the evening, Cao Shujie told his grandfather that his eldest brother and his second brother would come back to see him next month.
After hearing what Sun Tzu said, Cao Zhenghu felt much better.
At his age, he is more looking forward to having children and grandchildren in his family.
But in reality, there are various problems before us, and Cheng Huan simply cannot do it. Cao Zhenghu also understands this, and he looks forward to the few opportunities to get together at the end of the year.
"Shujie, did your brother Bin and the others say when they would come back?" Cao Zhenghu asked.
Cao Shujie shook his head, he really didn't have a good time in this area.
He said: "Grandpa, my brother Bin said that he will come back after Yichuan and Yixin have their summer vacation."
"That's going to be soon." Cao Zhenghu said.
Cao Shujie nodded accordingly.
Tomorrow Cui Jingguo and the others will send 200 calves over. Cao Shujie didn't go anywhere that night and went to bed early.
…
After finishing cleaning up the next morning, Cao Shujie waited at home for a call from Cui Jingguo.
According to their years of cooperation habits, Cui Jingguo would definitely send him a calf in the morning.
As expected, there was no exception this time. Cao Shujie received a call from Cui Jingguo at around 7 a.m., saying that the trailer transporting the calves had arrived at the north end of Caojiazhuang.
Cui Jingguo asked Cao Shujie whether he sent these calves to the farm here in the orchard or to the farm at the south end of Caojiazhuang.
There is no way, who makes Cao Shujie so inhumane.
There is a breeding farm of more than 100 acres on the side of the orchard, and a breeding farm of more than 100 acres on the south side.
With two breeding sites combined, it is easy to raise more than a thousand cattle, and there is still a lot of usable space.
According to Cao Shujie, the purpose is to give these cattle enough space to move, rather than confining them to small spaces like honeycombs.
He feels that if cows don’t get enough exercise every day, the beef will definitely not taste good.
No one has ever refuted Cao Shujie's theory.
Because the beef raised here is really delicious.
But others don't have his heroic spirit.
Cao Shujie came to the orchard on the mountain and saw a trailer coming halfway up the mountain from the mountain road to the north.
The trailer, loaded with calves, then entered the farm through the open door on the north side.
Cui Jingguo got down from the cab of the truck and when he saw Cao Shujie, the two gave him a warm hug.
He told Cao Shujie that this batch of cattle was a good breed that he had spent nearly two months gathering together.
His previous method of specifically breeding calves for sale is no longer advisable as more people enter the cattle raising industry.
Theoretically, each cow can give birth to one child per year, and special cases of more than two births are very rare.
Even if cows like those in Cui Jingguo's farm give birth hard, they can only give birth to a handful of calves in a year, which simply cannot meet the demand of the swarming farmers.
Cao Shujie also understands this. He doesn't care about this, as long as the calves given to him are of good breed and have no problems.
Drive all the calves off the trailer and let them run wild in the farm to get familiar with this new place as quickly as possible.
Cao Shuchao also led two people to spread fodder and feed in the farm to help the calves adapt to this unfamiliar farm as soon as possible.
They are already very experienced in this area and do not need Cao Shujie to supervise them at all.
At this moment, Cao Shujie had already brought Cui Jingguo down the mountain to his home, and used online banking to transfer 740,000 to his bank card.
Cui Jingguo liked Cao Shujie's straightforwardness.
Like other farms, every time I buy a calf from him, I will pay him on credit, or I will pay him a few months later.
But Cao Shujie doesn't do that. He always settles the account on the spot after completing the transaction.
In Cui Jingguo's memory, he had done so many transactions with Cao Shujie, and Cao Shujie never let a sum of money pass overnight.
This is also the fundamental reason why Cui Jingguo prefers to trade with Cao Shujie when it comes to bulk calves trading.
Compared with Cao Shujie, others are really not good.
After finishing the business, Cao Shujie asked Cui Jingguo if he had time to have a meal at his house today.
"Boss Cao, it's really difficult today. There are still many customers waiting in the breeding factory. Your sister-in-law can't handle it all by herself. I have to go back and help as soon as possible." Cui Jingguo said this.
"Boss Cui, if you can trust me, next time you send a calf, you don't have to come over. Just tell me the number and I will transfer it to you." Cao Shujie said this.
Cui Jingguo answered simply: "Okay, I won't come next time."
This also reflects his full trust in Cao Shujie.
After all, each of their transactions involves hundreds of thousands or even millions of transactions.
In the countryside, this is no small sum of money.
After reaching this tacit understanding, Cao Shujie sent Cui Jingguo to the mountain again. Seeing that the trailer had not yet left, Cao Shujie understood that Cui Jingguo must have explained it in advance.
When passing the kiwi fruit orchard, Cao Shujie said to him: "Boss Cui, my new variety of kiwi fruit will be ripe in a month. If you are free next month, bring your sister-in-law and children over to pick some kiwi fruit to eat."
"
"Don't worry, no matter how much you pick, I won't take any of it." Cao Shujie also said openly.
But the more he said this, the more Cui Jingguo wanted to pay.
Just like he specializes in selling calves, Cao Shujie specializes in selling fruits. This is the money they earn. The other party can be polite, but they must not cause trouble to the other party in this regard.
…
At Cao Shujie's house, Mengmeng saw her grandfather Cao Zhenghu sitting on the official hat chair. She ran over and held Cao Zhenghu's hand and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, please take me out to play."
She can't stay at home any longer.
But Cao Zhenghu looked at the scorching sun outside, shook his head and said, "No, it's too hot today, we won't go out."
He was also thinking about how he took his great-granddaughter out some time ago despite the heat and suffered a sunstroke and dizziness.
After his accident that time, he caused a lot of trouble for his grandson and grandson-in-law.
Since then, Cao Zhenghu has always remembered this incident, and he did not want to cause any more trouble to his grandson.
But Mengmeng couldn't stay at home, so she held her grandfather's hand and had to go out.
Cao Zhenghu said: "Then let's find a cool place, but we can't bask in the sun anymore."
"Okay." Mengmeng nodded and agreed.
Seeing the old man standing up and going out, Mengmeng quickly went to get her own kettle.
"Grandpa, I can't open the lid." Mengmeng held the kettle in one hand and the lid in the other. Her little face was distorted due to excessive exertion.
After Cao Zhenghu saw it, he quickly helped his great-granddaughter.
