I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 165: Attack the Wagyu (Subscription Request)
As early as after Chenji’s popularity began, the scale of the mountain breeding farm in Pingtou Village, Wencheng has been gradually expanding.

It started with tens of thousands of Xianju chickens in the pen, and then gradually increased to a stable number of more than 300,000.

In order to facilitate the management of such a large-scale farm, Chen Jue has gradually dispatched more than a dozen iron golems to the farm to take charge of guarding it.

Such unnecessary manpower expenditure is a huge waste of resources for MC iron golems, whose recruitment limit is only 100.

Because of the iron golem's multiple [skin] switching function, Chen Jue realized that the role of these MC utility creatures is much greater than he imagined.

So after Chen Ji’s central kitchen was completed, he was determined to liberate the iron golems from the lack of creativity in mechanical labor.

Now that he had invited Shengnong Breeding to join his breeding empire, he was finally able to free up those dozen iron golems.

Of course, in addition to freeing up the available manpower around him, Chen Jue’s main purpose is to cultivate a group of suitable chicken farming talents through Mr. Zhang’s experience, and by the way, cover the production of MC chickens through broiler chickens bred in reality.

After all, if a company wants to truly succeed and grow, it cannot rely on just 100 iron golems and 2 villagers. It must absorb all kinds of talents from society during its expansion.

……

After finalizing the cooperation with Shengnong Breeding, Chen Jue picked up a basket of [fresh eggs] from the stall.

He planned to send all the eggs with [Top Quality] attributes back to the underground base for hatching, and rely on the accelerated growth of MC to carry out mass breeding, so as to complete the chicks in advance for the subsequent completion of the super-large-scale breeding base.

Of course, after learning that Zhang Xingxing, the girl with a round face and a sweet voice, admired Chen Ji very much, Chen Jue specially sent a message to Li Fei, asking him to remember to take the time to send a packaged roast chicken meal to the grandfather and grandson after he finished his work.

Since they are all going to join his team, Chen Jue will naturally not be stingy with this small favor.

After sitting and chatting with Sheng Nong for a while, Chen Jue continued to wander around the exhibition halls with the idea of ​​treasure hunting.

Before leaving Area D, he discovered [Fresh Eggs] with two top-level attributes. This shows that the Xiya Exhibition is like a huge treasure for someone like Chen Jue who has MC identification ability!
After all, the scale of the Seattle exhibition is large enough. The three-day exhibition attracted more than 3 exhibitors from all over the world.

The industries covered extend from food to animal husbandry, crop seeds, advanced planting techniques, etc., which gives Chen Jue room to play.

While walking around and tasting, Chen Jue ate things like Spanish ham slices, Belon oysters, Japanese Wagyu beef, etc.

In order to attract business, exhibitors from various countries tried their best and brought fresh ingredients from all over the world together. While allowing Chen Jue to feast on the delicious food, he also discovered many business opportunities that he could get involved in.

Take the Wagyu beef that is monopolized by the Japanese for example. As long as it is rated as A5 grade Wagyu beef, it can be easily sold for 3000 yuan per kilogram whether it is imported or exported.

Such a highly profitable business is more profitable than simply selling roasted chicken.

Moreover, Chen Jue has the ability of MC to quickly give birth to animals. Even if he cannot get the top-grade Wagyu breeds from the Japanese, he can go around to Australia and the United States to import Wagyu breeds.

You can’t buy A5 grade Wagyu beef, but you can buy A3 and A4 grades with money.

When the time comes and we have the right breed of cattle, we just need to hand it over to the old farmer, the [breeding expert], to iterate the breeding. With the powerful function of MC, it is even possible to breed Wagyu that exceeds the A5 level.

"If we can bring the price of Wagyu beef down to as cheap as Sunshine Rose, then wouldn't the Japanese lose one more so-called national treasure?" Chen Jue said with a smirk in his heart.

Therefore, during his subsequent visits to the exhibition, he specifically sought out two Wagyu beef suppliers located in Area B, one in Australia and the other in the United States, and placed orders with them for 50 live male and female Wagyu beef respectively.

However, due to the Japanese control over the Wagyu industry and industry barriers, these two Wagyu suppliers can only provide M4 Australian Wagyu and live American Wagyu with the Prime grade standard.

This shop provides black Wagyu, which is comparable to A3 and A4 grade Wagyu.

You should know that the Japanese Wagyu breeds are divided into four categories: black-haired, brown-haired, short-horned, and five-horned. The control over this "national treasure" breed of Wagyu is very strict throughout the country.

Not only is the outflow of living animals out of the country restricted, but also Wagyu eggs, semen, and fertilized embryos are strictly regulated by the Wagyu Association.

After all, the annual output value of the Japanese Wagyu beef brand has reached tens of billions of US dollars worldwide. Such a huge economic benefit is the backbone of any country's animal husbandry.

So far, only Australia and the United States obtained the low-end black-haired Wagyu breed from the Japanese through forced purchases in the 90s, and then gradually formed their own brands after decades of breeding.

Some people in Northeast China once spent a lot of money to introduce Australian Wagyu beef for breeding, but after it matured and was put on the market, the Japanese counterattacked.

The slander that Wagyu produced in China is not real Wagyu directly caused the livestock farming company to go bankrupt.

Such means are very disgusting in the eyes of insiders.

The reason why the domestic company was able to introduce Australian Wagyu beef was that it had obtained patent authorization from the Japanese in advance.

As a result, when the cattle were ready to be slaughtered, they took back the right to use the "Wagyu" brand and simply turned their backs on their promise. The beef jerky that should have been sold at the price of Wagyu was only sold at the price of ordinary beef. This was a vivid lesson for many domestic livestock companies that coveted Wagyu.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue was not worried about the Japanese taking back the right to use the 'Wagyu' brand was because the MC system gave him confidence.

As long as the annual output of our own domesticated Wagyu cattle exceeds the Japanese Wagyu cattle output of more than 15 to 30 tons.

When the time comes, won’t it be up to you to decide how the market price of Wagyu will be determined?
This is like the domestic wholesale price of Sunshine Rose grapes at 6.5 yuan per catty, and the Japanese Qingwang grapes at 300 yuan per catty.

The two grapes are actually the same variety, with no significant difference in taste or appearance. The only difference is their origin.

As long as one party chooses to smash the price to the lowest level, no matter how strong the brand effect of the other party is, it will be greatly affected.

“It’s OK even if we don’t use the brand ‘Wagyu’ anymore.”

“I can change it to anything I want, as long as the price is cheap enough, I can let people all over the country have a taste of it.” Chen Jue thought secretly.

……

Cube Agriculture spent 300 million U.S. dollars to place an order for 100 live black-haired Wagyu cattle from two international friendly companies.

With beef prices falling, the price of a live Wagyu beef at $3 is not cheap at all.

You know, recently the domestic beef price has almost dropped to the same level as the peak period of pork in the past due to the impact of imported beef from South America, Australia and New Zealand.

Domestic adult beef cattle are sold for a little over 1 yuan at most.

Taking into account the exchange rate difference of nearly 20 times, it can be seen how outrageous the value of this Wagyu beef is.

Of course, the reason why the price of beef has dropped so much is mainly due to the bumper harvest of grain around the world, which has reduced feed costs.

Just as Chen Jue walked to a stall with the sign "Helen Grain Seeds", he heard two young men chatting while looking through the futures software on their phones: "The futures price of soybeans has fallen again!"

"The production capacity in South America has been boosted. It is said that more than 2 million tons of soybeans will enter the market this year. One ton of U.S. soybeans has reached 4800 yuan at the port. It seems that the soybean farmers in Heihe are not doing well this year."

"Don't worry about others! Our institute has just cultivated saline-alkali soil bean seeds with great difficulty, but no one has come to ask about it for a long time. If we fail to complete a single order, we will definitely be criticized by the leaders when we go back."

Chen Jue pricked up his ears and immediately became interested: "Saline-alkali soil bean seeds?"

I approached the stall and grabbed a handful of soybean samples. A line of subtitles appeared: [Soybean seeds: healthy, artificially cultivated 'Dongsheng 1042' soybean seeds, with excellent drought and salt resistance, and can produce excellent pods after planting.]
