According to Herbert, Australia is not only home to huge and overpopulated hares, but also extremely rich in other animal resources. The most important reason is that the population there is small, not to mention cheap, many of which cannot be consumed and are discarded, and even cause death due to discarding. Brings a lot of problems.
Like kangaroos that are almost all over Australia, Shen Billy used to play with them when he was young, and then he developed good marksmanship. These guys are the most disliked by farmers after hares, and there are a lot of them every year. They are hunted, but compared to their fur, their use of meat is almost zero.
However, this thing doesn’t taste good, but if you are willing to cut out the ingredients, or have no conscience, it is still protein, and many people can’t even eat it! But the more practical use is actually to use it as breeding feed, such as the following stuff.
According to Herbert, because the demand for crocodile skins in the European market is growing, and the Gulf crocodile has the best skin among them, a large number of crocodile hunters are active there, and a large number of crocodiles are hunted every year.
An adult crocodile weighs between half a ton and a ton, but after peeling, except for a very few parts of the meat that taste better, the rest are discarded.
Herbert has tried it, and the overall taste of crocodile meat is good. Almost all crocodiles in China are eaten. Both Chinese medicine and the folk believe that it has therapeutic effects and medicinal value, so it is not objectionable. In addition to China, Southeast Asia and other places, the same Crocodile meat is used as food, so the products developed should have a market.
But what! Herbert is focused on feeding them, not that they might be hunted to extinction. At least there are not many signs of this yet. What he thinks is that their skins have a good economic value, and their meat is eating meat. It is also considered the best among animals. It can be raised using Australia's large amounts of discarded meat and offal materials such as offal that cannot be used in food processing, so as to increase the output and profits.
Lin Mo didn't have any objections to this. Since Herbert thought it was feasible, it didn't matter if he did it. After all, compared to the other two, these two were just a small fight.
These two are livestock and fishery. Let’s talk about livestock first. Australia’s terrain is dominated by plains and grasslands. Agriculture and animal husbandry are industries that were easy to develop in the early days. Although they are not as popular as the ones in the future, they will be called sheep’s backs. At that time, the country already had a large number of cattle and sheep.
However, the skins and shearing of cattle and sheep are the main source of income, and the meat is mainly supplied for food. Due to the small population and the isolation overseas, there is a lack of sufficient scale of ocean-going fresh meat transportation and meat product processing industries, so the price of meat is low. The utilization rate is not high either.
The larger-scale factories planned by Herbert are cattle and sheep slaughterhouses and beef and mutton processing plants. Because they are livestock, they can be driven and concentrated for slaughter, so they are suitable for building larger-scale factories.
You know, during World War I, Argentina relied on its livestock industry to supply food to the participating countries, and made a huge fortune. This was wealth that made the entire country rich! If it had been planned well in advance, it would have been repeated. , the benefits are simply unimaginable.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the fishery. It is surrounded by the sea and has a small population. It cannot be developed on land, and the sea has hardly been developed. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the resource reserves.
Moreover, it is isolated overseas, and there are almost no decent countries competing for it on three sides. Moreover, it is the vast sea areas of the Central and South Pacific and the Central and South Indian Ocean, which can be used as a base for offshore fishing and processing.
For the former, Lin Mo expressed his support and promised to provide financial and other support as much as possible if necessary. For the latter, Lin Mo did not completely deny it, saying that he could try it, but the former should be the main focus. The technology of offshore fishing,
The difficulty and investment are not low, so you should take care of the simple things in front of you first.
However, the difficulty of making these two things is not low. The biggest problem is the shortage of manpower. The hare-related industries that have already started to operate are deeply troubled and restricted by the shortage of manpower.
From hunting, fishing, transshipment, to slaughtering, segmentation, processing, etc., a series of tasks require the participation of a large number of people. This time, I want to see if I can recruit hunters and workers from here to work.
Another purpose related to canning is that he believes that processing meat into luncheon meat is too simple. Moreover, his plan involves a lot of processed meats, and not all of them are suitable for processing in the form of luncheon meat.
For example, rabbits are small in size and have small skeletons. It takes a lot of labor to peel them off, which is not cost-effective, so he wants to process them into pieces or whole animals.
There is also a strong smell of beef and mutton, which is not suitable for luncheon meat. He also wants to develop some more suitable canned products for this. Lin Mo agrees with this. What he mentioned before is
It's just a suggestion, if there is a better way it would be better.
"Your idea is to come here to find inspiration and see if there are any cooking dishes suitable for canning, right?" After hearing this, Lin Mo asked.
"...Yes..." Herbert nodded and explained: "Chinese cooking methods and types of dishes are extremely numerous. I think many of them must be suitable for development into canned products."
Lin Mo also nodded, thought about it carefully, and replied: "You can try to look for dishes with stronger flavors, such as heavy oil, heavy salt, heavy spicy food. As for cooking methods, you can consider frying and frying."
, this kind of dishes are more suitable for canning, and often all kinds of meat can be processed in a similar way."
After hearing this, Herbert frowned and felt a little confused: "Lin, I have considered this, but there is a difficulty. The cooking oil over there is not cheap. There is a lot of oil used in cooking, so the cost will be relatively high, which is not cost-effective."
.”
"Use butter and mutton fat!" Lin Mo said, "Even beef and mutton are so cheap over there, so these things must not be used much. You can extract oil from these and use them for processing.
cooking oil in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the smell of mutton, you can use spicy to cover it up. Spicy can cover these smells very well, and even cover some bad tastes in meat. It can be regarded as a good choice in the food processing industry.
It is a very good auxiliary ingredient, and there are many ways to remove and cover up the smell of mutton in Chinese food, which is not difficult.
Of course, whether to adopt it or not depends on whether it is feasible after trying it here. However, I suggest that you can find some chefs who are good at cooking in this area and conduct research as technicians and researchers. You can also include others who are good at it.
In terms of employment, to be honest, there is a huge difference between normal cooking and canning production."
Lin Mo was not talking nonsense. Since these meats are cheap, if you choose to eat the fats of these animals, they will definitely not be expensive. So the edible oil Herbert mentioned is probably vegetable oils such as olive oil, or does not have too much odor.
of animal fats.
After Herbert agreed, Lin Mo remembered that he had entrusted someone else to find ultra-spicy peppers. Unfortunately, no news came back later, and he didn't know what happened.
However, Lin Mo still carefully recalled the other party's message and contact information, and handed it to Herbert so that he could try to contact him when he had time, or ask the Lin family to help contact him.
That thing, ultra-hot peppers, are definitely not practical for direct consumption. Their greatest commercial value is as a source of spiciness in the food industry. After all, ordinary peppers are only 10,000 spicy, and those are just a few thousand.
One hundred thousand or one million units is equivalent to tens or hundreds of ordinary units. If it can be planted and cultivated, it will definitely be more cost-effective.
Herbert immediately agreed to this plan. Although there was plenty of land to grow ordinary peppers there, people were needed! This reduction of dozens of times of quantity and almost the same amount of manpower was very suitable for the situation there.
"By the way, Lin, I have another question, which is about the pricing of cans after they are exported to China. The price of silver is very unstable now. I would like to ask how to price it reasonably?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and asked first: "How did you plan to set the price before? To what extent did you set it?"
Hearing this, Herbert explained: "The price set before was relatively low, which is about 40% of the normal meat price here. Although the cost of meat is relatively low now, the overall cost is not included in the transportation of containers and accessories.
If it is too low, it is considered to be only a reasonable profit.
But this time I brought a batch of samples for trial sale, but found that the price of silver here has increased a lot. If the price is calculated in silver dollars, it is already a bit expensive. However, if the price is adjusted according to the fluctuation of silver price, I am worried about the impact of frequent price adjustments.
It was sold, so the specific selling price has never been determined.”
Lin Mo nodded, and after careful consideration, replied: "Let's take the previous pricing as the standard! I don't know how long such a high silver price can last. Moreover, the skyrocketing silver price and chaotic exchange will also have a great impact on the Chinese economy.
It has a huge impact and cannot be left unchecked.
If you lower the price now, you will inevitably have to reset the price in the future according to changes in silver prices, exchange rates, etc., and there is a high probability that it will increase in numbers and in the eyes of customers, which is very detrimental to sales.
In this case, it is better to maintain the original price and leave enough room for price changes. In the future, if the silver price drops or the currency depreciates, the digital price can continue to be maintained unchanged to a certain extent, which is equivalent to a disguised price reduction. It may not have a great effect.
Good promotion effect.
It is difficult for buyers to accept a price increase, and they are also disgusted. But when others are raising prices, if you keep the price unchanged, it is equivalent to a disguised price reduction. This will probably make countless people feel that they are taking advantage, and they can't afford it before.
If you are willing to eat something, but now you can suddenly afford it, there must be many people who want to try it, and this will boost sales.
Another thing is, after all, this thing is something to be eaten. If it is sold too cheap, it may make others afraid to buy it. Instead, it is sold at a small price first, and then the price is brought down naturally, which will make people more satisfied.
Take some.”
After saying that, Lin Mo thought for a while and then reminded: "By the way, there are many types of meat you want to develop, but remember, you must not mix them together, especially with this kind of meat."
Pretending to be another kind of meat, or passing it off as good quality.
Once someone realizes that something is wrong, buyers will easily make various associations, and then spread all kinds of sensational rumors. Sometimes just one unfounded rumor can ruin you.
I suggest that different meat products should be branded as different brands and clearly marked. It is best that the container and appearance should be clearly identifiable to reduce misunderstandings.
.
Of course, you have to guard against others using their hands to throw dirty water on you, but this kind of thing is just spreading rumors and trying to refute them, but it can't solve the problem. You can solve the person who caused the problem.
Therefore, when it is time to take action, you must not hesitate. If there is any sign of it, just press it to death. If it is a rumor created by some bastard, not only let him compensate for the loss, but also let him spend time and money to clarify it. If the clarification is not clear, he will keep paying the relevant fees.
