1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 73: Damn, I’m so damn smart!

Chapter 73: Damn, I’m so damn smart! (Please read on!)
After saying this, He Feihuai added another sentence.

"I said in advance that you can't violate the policy!"

Although he was attracted by the big picture that Su Wenchen painted, he would definitely not do anything that crossed the line.

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"Secretary He, don't worry. We will never violate the policy. After the autumn harvest, our chicken farm is expected to have 2,000 to 3,000 chickens."

"My idea is that you can take the opportunity to invite county leaders to come down for an inspection, and then you can take the opportunity to propose the idea of building a national nutritional chicken farm."

He Fei pondered for a moment.

"That's it? I don't have any problem with that, but wouldn't it be easier for you to just ask Xiao Jiang to go to County Magistrate He? Why go through so much trouble?"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"This is a public matter. It's inappropriate for her to bring it up in her personal capacity!"

Moreover, Su Wenchen didn't want Jiang Li to use their friendship for such a purpose. If the matter could be resolved impartially, it would be best not to use up favors.

Favors will eventually run out.

"Okay, I can come out then. You should pay more attention during this period. I will come again after the autumn harvest. Don't let me hear the news of the chicken farm closing down."

As he said that, He Feihuai helped and climbed onto the bicycle.

"Okay, let's go back. I hope you can give me a new surprise next time I come!"

Su Wenchen watched He Feihuai riding away on his bicycle.

"Surprised? This is just the beginning! How can a chicken farm alone be enough?"

However, looking at the back of the other person's bicycle, Su Wenchen suddenly thought of it.

By the way, he now has money and tickets, so he can buy a bicycle. It won’t be a problem for him to walk every day.

You work so hard, don't you just want to enjoy it openly? What's so good about eating meat secretly? Eating it openly and without others complaining is real talent.

Besides, he is now the deputy secretary and director of the brigade. Riding a bicycle is not considered too much of a step forward!

Afterwards, Su Wenchen prepared to go to the chicken farm first to take a look.

Because a month has passed, the first batch of chicks hatched by their chicken farm should be coming out soon.

Su Wenchen just walked into the brooder house.

A wave of heat hit me. It was obvious that the temperature required for incubation was relatively high, so it was much hotter in the brooder house.

Fortunately, they have technician Master Hou, otherwise they would have to slowly explore for a long time if they wanted to incubate the product on their own.

Thinking about it this way, Director Song is such a good man, giving away chickens and people! I will really thank him when I have the chance! And Lao Miao too!

He, Su Wenchen, is definitely not an ungrateful person!

If that doesn’t work, we can just merge their chicken farm later. We are all serving the country anyway!

After Hou Guozhong saw Su Wenchen come in.

He also came over and said, "You came at the right time. A lot of the first batch of chicks have hatched. They look very healthy, but there is one thing you need to make a decision on."

Su Wenchen heard Hou Guozhong's words and walked over to look at the young chicks in the small boxes filled with straw.

"What's going on? Is it about the chicks?"

Hou Guozhong nodded.

"Well, what are you going to do with this hatched rooster?"

Hearing this, Su Wenchen was stunned at first.

He forgot that when eggs hatch, there may be male or female ones, it's not certain!

It seems that we need to breed more breeding chickens, otherwise the chick production of hens will not be able to keep up.

However, these rooster seedlings are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Roosters cannot lay eggs, and if you raise them for a long time, it may not be profitable, so he plans to ask Shiquan how they deal with it.

"Master Hou, how do you usually deal with the chicks of the roosters in Shiquan?"

"Sometimes we send them directly to the teams below in exchange for bran or something like that. Some are used as breeders. If there are any left, we usually raise them as broilers for a few months and then sell them off." "Because we feed them all with feed, if we keep them for a little longer, we won't even be able to make back the money we spent on the feed. We chicken farms are generally not willing to raise roosters because the returns are too low."

Su Wenchen nodded when he heard this.

Unlike hens that can lay eggs, there is indeed a huge difference in the profits from raising roosters.

Although roosters are a little more expensive than hens in the market now, they are only a few cents more expensive per pound. Compared with hens that can lay eggs for a long time, there is still a huge gap.

Su Wenchen calculated in his mind that if he fed the baby every day, even though the baby would consume less in the early stages, he would still have to consume more than ten kilograms of feed in four months.

The price of the feed consumed alone is almost one dollar.

At this time, the rooster weighs about one to two kilograms. According to the current market price of one yuan and three cents per kilogram for a rooster, you can only make a little more than one yuan from a rooster.

This is too little profit.

Two thousand hens can bring him a profit of 50,000 yuan in four months, and raising two thousand roosters can bring him a profit of more than 2,000 yuan in four months.

The gap is too big. Su Wenchen's calculation is based on the assumption that he will never get sick.

If the chickens get sick or something, we’ll lose everything.

No wonder broiler farms started to develop rapidly after the reform and opening up. It was all due to environmental constraints. At that time, everyone had little money, and eggs were more cost-effective than chicken.

Think of this.

Su Wenchen also looked at the rooster seedlings picked out by Hou Guozhong with a bit of disdain.

This is a useless thing. It would be a pity to give up on it. If he were to raise it, it would be a waste of feed. With that feed, he could just raise a few more hens and make more money!

I thought about it for a long time.

Su Wenchen spoke directly to Hou Guozhong.

"Let's keep these chicks for now. I'll talk to the brigade and see if we can let the members take a few home. When they grow up, the money from selling them will be split equally between the chicken farm and the members. It can be considered a subsidy."

Hou Guozhong heard this and thought about it.

"That's a solution. Throwing it out to roam free may make it grow slowly, but it can still grow by finding grass seeds and insects here and there."

Su Wenchen touched his chin.

I think the meat of this little rooster that wanders around and finds its own food is probably much better than that of a chicken that is raised on feed.

So he could try feeding these little roosters some broiler breeding feed when they are in the early chick stage.

After entering the growth stage, they are scattered among the members' homes and allowed to wander around and find food on their own.

Although this will slow down the growth cycle a lot, the taste of the meat can definitely reach the current top level.

The more he thought about Su Wenchen, the brighter his eyes became.

And he suddenly realized that he didn't need to sell these little roosters in the market. He could use them directly to build relationships with the state-owned factories in the city!
Which state-owned factory doesn’t have some special treatment?

This is much more cost-effective than selling it for a few dollars.

For those big factories, as long as a little bit of supplies slips out through their fingers, it will be enough to feed their team.

Thinking of this, Su Wenchen couldn't help but say something subconsciously.

"Fuck, I'm so damn smart!"

At this moment, he looked at the rooster chicks in the box and found them much more pleasing to his eyes.

When Hou Guozhong heard this, he rolled his eyes.

"I have never seen anyone more shameless than you. You can actually boast about your intelligence in public."

Su Wenchen replied with a smile.

"Isn't this a good idea? But Master Hou, am I not smart?"

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Hou Guozhong was speechless.

People’s intelligence is usually praised by others, but no one praises themselves.

Really stinky shameless!
