Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

Qin Xifeng gradually walked away alone, and the people behind him could no longer see his back.

In his memory, similar situations were not uncommon. Almost every winter, he and Atik went to the mountains to serve as guides for the company's soldiers. Heavy snow covered all the ravines, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere.

The original roads no longer exist.

At this time, it is difficult to distinguish the terrain in front of you. When you deviate from the correct path, you may fall into various dangers.

Qin Xifeng is familiar with every road and ridge on the mountain, and can also remember all the topography. This is a talent that Yushanjiang, Aihemai and others also have, but the degree is slightly different.

"Captain Luo, is everyone okay?"

He successfully found Luo Sixi and the soldiers. They were patrolling on foot today and fell into a deep ditch here. This meant that they had deviated from the safe road and had to find a guide to lead the way.

The soldiers in the iron-clad camp were replaced one after another, but they were still unable to move freely in the mountains under the extreme weather.

"Xifeng, thank you for your hard work! We are all fine."

Luo Sixi quickly thanked Qin Xifeng. No one in the squad was injured, and the overall condition was pretty good.

"Lieutenant Luo, there are patrol members behind me. They are leading the yaks and walking slowly. How about we go to meet them?"

Seeing that the soldiers were all fine, Qin Xifeng suggested that Luo Sixi lead everyone down the mountain. With his living map, there was no chance of getting lost, and naturally there was no danger.

Luo Sixi nodded and ordered the soldiers to get ready and set off.

"Yushanjiang, I have found the soldiers. They are in good condition and no one is injured. We are going to go back now. Just keep the current speed."

Qin Xifeng immediately called Yushanjiang, and the communication situation was good.

The communication base stations on the mountain have been running, and a heavy snowfall has not affected these equipment.

"clear!"

Yu Shanjiang and others breathed a sigh of relief. After Qin Xifeng came out, they were also rushing on their way. Now that they know the situation, they don't have to rush too fast. The two sides will meet each other soon.

In the evening.

The group of people went down the mountain smoothly and out of the canyon.

Squad Leader Luo got in touch with the company, and the company commander ordered his squad to station outside the mouth of the canyon tonight. The three stone houses are enough for them to rest, and there is no need to go to the village to disturb everyone.

Qin Xifeng did not force it. He, Yu Shanjiang and others went to the house to prepare a meal and delivered the food and water. The stone house had a stove, coal, kettle, and electricity, and the conditions were reasonable.

After finishing all the work, he returned home at night.

Early the next morning, Ahemai took people to guard the entrance of the canyon. After breakfast, the soldiers went up the mountain.

Yesterday, everyone actually opened a safe road out, and it didn't snow at night. We followed the traces when we came and patrolled the No. 4 and No. 5 mountain passes, and then we can return to the company.

morning.

The large machinery sent by the township arrived in the village, and with the addition of bulldozers, the speed of clearing the snow was significantly accelerated. Anyway, the snow can be piled on the open space on both sides of the road without having to be hauled away, which saves effort and time.

In addition to the elderly and children, men and women in the village joined the battle, and by the afternoon basically the two roads had been opened.

"Aihemai, starting tomorrow, you will bring the young people in the village to open the road to the company's station. Bulldozers, trucks, and tractors will be given to you. Is there any problem?"

The road between the village and the outside world has been opened, but the company station is not yet open to traffic.

Qin Xifeng and Ahemai discussed it and decided to send people to help the company clear the road. The company commander and instructors and the soldiers were not idle either. They and Ahemai and others cleared the snow from both ends at the same time, greatly speeding up the process.

Two days later.

The surrounding villages and company stations have returned to normal contact with the outside world.

Fresh milk from pastures and villages can be continuously transported to the outside world. Generally speaking, such a big snowstorm basically caused no losses to the company and individuals.

Qin Xifeng calculated that he should prepare a bulldozer in the future, which could be used for emergency rescue and disaster relief, as well as production and daily life.

The impact of a white disaster is actually very wide. The villages and pastures did not suffer any damage, which does not mean that all places were not affected. In fact, from the perspective of the entire township, the entire county and the entire region, this extreme

The weather still caused a lot of damage.

The most serious consequence of this disaster is the skyrocketing price of fresh milk raw materials. This is related to expectations and there is no reason to explain.

The price rise was so violent that even Yao Liang, who took the initiative to start the battle for milk sources, did not expect that it was completely out of control. This wave of price fluctuations soon swept across the province, and then spread to the entire domestic market.

Sun Dong is naturally happy. The price increase means that the performance of Natural Animal Husbandry will be greatly improved.

Wang Jianjun, who was still laughing at the situation, could no longer laugh at this time. Cost pressure increased sharply, and Xueling Dairy was greatly affected. Fortunately, the company had a long-term supply agreement with Natural Animal Husbandry, and prices soared.

There will be a certain discount next time.

Wang Jianjun is still under less pressure than other dairy companies.

"Mr. Yao, the current price of fresh milk is rising too fast. The share of milk sources we finally grabbed has become our burden. If we don't raise the price, the cooperation between farmers (cooperatives) and the company will be interrupted.

.”

Farmers (cooperatives) are not easily deceived. The contracts signed by Natural Animal Husbandry and them in the past were very friendly, giving them a lot of freedom of choice. This is why many cooperatives (farmers) after Yao Liang raised the purchase price

An important reason for people to invest in grassland dairy industry.

Because the cost of breaking a contract is very low and there are almost no penalty clauses, there is no pressure to break the contract.

When Yao Liang signed the contract with them, he discovered the big hole left by Natural Animal Husbandry. But there was nothing he could do. If he proposed more stringent conditions, they would not agree to it.

As a result, when encountering irrational fluctuations in the market, Yao Liang discovered that he had done useless work.

"Under the current circumstances, we can no longer compete on price. We cannot afford the rapidly rising costs. If we keep the price down, if someone wants to break the contract, let them do whatever they want. The most we can do is terminate this plan."

Yao Liang sighed and died before leaving the army. He was tantamount to admitting defeat in the battle for milk source.

If you fail, just fail. It is better than killing yourself. He still has his own milk source base in hand, and Prairie Dairy's dairy production in the western region will not be greatly affected.

Therefore, Prairie Dairy changed its previous offensive posture and adopted a self-protection plan.

Xueling Dairy could not stop the rise in prices, and gradually gave up part of the milk sources it controlled. All raw materials were purchased from natural animal husbandry. Natural animal husbandry supplied goods in accordance with long-term agreements, and put the rich parts on the market, making a lot of money.

The bowl is full.

Farmers (cooperatives) also make a fortune, but small and medium-sized dairy factories suffer. They do not have their own milk source base, nor do they have long-term strategic partners like Natural Animal Husbandry.

When the market is stable, they purchase fresh milk raw materials everywhere, and the prices are even slightly lower. But when the market fluctuates significantly, they are the first victims.

This night.

Qin Xifeng was teaching Xiaohu how to read after dinner, when Wang Jianjun rushed over after a long journey.

"Jianjun, if you need something, why don't you just make a phone call? It's dark and the roads are slippery, so you have to make a special trip! Sit down first, haven't you eaten yet? Gulidan, go get some food and let him eat first.

.”

Qin Xifeng looked at Wang Jianjun and couldn't help but say something.

Gulidan stood up quickly and said: "Jianjun, please sit down for a while. The food is ready. I will heat it up and it will be ready soon."

"Thanks!"

Wang Jianjun came in a hurry, but he really hadn't eaten yet.

Later, Gulidan brought mutton soup, butter naan bread and a plate of braised lamb chops. Wang Jianjun was really hungry, so he immediately started to eat without thinking about anything else.

Gulidan took Xiaohu upstairs and gave the living room to them.

"Xifeng, how can I explain some things clearly on the phone? I'll make a long story short, Huacheng Dairy can't hold it anymore, and its major shareholders are preparing to withdraw. The quality of this company is still good, and I want to make an acquisition."

Wang Jianjun quickly put down his bowl and broke a big news.

Huacheng Dairy is a medium-sized dairy enterprise in the province, with stable operations and a good reputation in the market.

But these small and medium-sized dairy companies, sandwiched between the two giants of Xueling Dairy and Grassland Dairy, are already in a difficult situation. Coupled with the impact of the violent fluctuations in milk supply, the actual controller of Huacheng Dairy has considered withdrawing.

.

The boss of Huacheng Dairy is not interested in the strong grassland dairy industry, but he does approve of Xueling Dairy. Today he got in touch with Wang Jianjun and tentatively proposed the intention to sell the equity.

Wang Jianjun couldn't make the decision on his own, but he was very anxious in his heart, so he rushed to Valsim overnight.

"Is it necessary?"

Qin Xifeng's idea is to seek stability and operate Xueling Dairy and Natural Animal Husbandry steadily. He has never thought about the listing of the company, nor has he thought about mergers and expansion.

Wang Jianjun's arrival posed a problem for him.

"Of course it is necessary! All economic indicators of Huacheng Dairy are good. The only weakness is that the boss has no aggressiveness. I think we should take advantage of the opportunity of the big reshuffle to strengthen our strength, and acquisitions and mergers are the most direct and effective way."

Wang Jianjun suddenly became excited when he saw Qin Xifeng's lukewarm attitude.

The cooperation between him and the other party has always been very pleasant. Qin Xifeng doesn't like to worry and likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He can be free in management. In fact, the development of Xueling Dairy is also very good.

But this old classmate of mine has a common problem with the boss of Huacheng Dairy, that is, he is not enterprising enough. He always wants to be safe and unwilling to take risks. If this is the case in normal times, but now he has encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he is still like this. How can he

Wasn't this a missed opportunity?

Therefore, Wang Jianjun became a little impatient.
