Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"Don't we all say that people in the same industry are enemies? Why are we all friends?"

Li Tong did not bring Luo Wei with him this time, and he himself did not stay at Qin Xifeng's house, but stayed with his friends.

Qin Xifeng personally served as a ski instructor and accompanied them to high-slope skiing. While taking a break, he asked curiously.

"There is no conflict of interest between us. Although we are both engaged in photography, we are in different industries and different regions. We met at an event many years ago."

Li Tong didn't explain much, but Qin Xifeng understood it immediately.

"Well, I'll have a lot of fun here for a few days."

Qin Xifeng stopped questioning and got up to continue coaching those people. To be honest, not many of these people knew how to ski, and most of them came to practice Pidun Kung Fu.

Li Tong and his party stayed in the village for less than half a month before leaving without feeling satisfied.

The village has returned to its former tranquility, with few tourists coming every day, only three or two big and small cats.

Qin Xifeng couldn't care about it for the time being. The sheep at home began to give birth to lambs one after another, and he devoted part of his energy to taking care of them. From vaccination to health monitoring, he and Gulidan did not dare to be lazy, and they had to do at least one job every day.

Went to the corral twice to see it.

The Atiks were also very concerned. Although Qin Xifeng told them not to worry, their father and mother still insisted on taking care of the lamb themselves. The lamb has always been their heart and soul and carried the hope of the whole family in the past.

This habit cannot be changed.

Of course, there is still a lot of work done by Astyga and the others. With more people and strength, Qin Xifeng and his family will not be too tired.

Life in the village is peaceful amidst the busyness. Although it is not isolated from the world, it rarely feels the turbulence of the outside world. The purchase price of fresh milk remains high. As a result of the chain reaction, a medium-sized dairy company in the province has shouldered the responsibility.

Unable to resist internal and external pressure, it declared bankruptcy.

This incident caused a great shock in the industry. Huacheng Dairy changed its previous mentality of taking a long-term view to catch big fish, took the initiative to lower the conditions for selling equity, and had a sincere talk with Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun's life was not easy during this period. The rise in raw material prices greatly reduced the company's profit margins. Fortunately, he signed a long-term supply agreement with Natural Animal Husbandry, which provided a certain discount on the price, otherwise he would not have known about it.

How long can I last?

Therefore, he did not agree to the latest plan proposed by the boss of Huacheng Dairy, which disappointed him.

"Xifeng, Xueling Dairy is our company after all. You can't just watch the company collapse, right? Can you talk to Mr. Sun and lower the supply price for us?"

The first night I had dinner with the boss of Huacheng Dairy, and the next day Wang Jianjun rushed to Walshim.

The top priority he needs to consider now is not the issue of continued expansion, but the survival of the enterprise. Facts have proved that the enterprise + farmer model has fatal flaws, and he can only place his hope on natural animal husbandry.

"Okay, why not? You and Mr. Sun will discuss it later, and the two companies will re-sign a long-term supply agreement. For Jianjun, the key is quantity. You must ensure the minimum purchase volume every year, and the previous supply volume

A little smaller.”

Qin Xifeng couldn't help but feel happy. He rarely saw Wang Jianjun looking so worried. It seemed that Wang Jianjun was really stumped by the unreasonable increase in the price of fresh milk raw materials.

"I know you have built a new ranch. Why are you starting to think about product sales now? Okay, I will bite the bullet and increase the purchase volume. You have to give me another 5% profit margin on the existing basis."

Wang Jianjun would not talk to Sun Dong. Who should Sun Dong listen to? Not Qin Xifeng.

"Okay, that's it!"

The two of them settled the matter half jokingly and half seriously.

Wang Jianjun With this 5% discount, the company has a lot more room for maneuver. The previous supply price was already discounted based on the current price. If it were lowered a little, Xueling Dairy would basically be in an invincible position.

He was very satisfied.

"Xifeng, the boss of Huacheng came to see me yesterday and the other party lowered the price for selling the equity. I thought about it and refused. I think under the current circumstances, the other party's asking price is still high, so we can wait."

Wang Jianjun was deeply inspired last time, and he is now in no rush to expand the scale of the company. The acquisition of Huacheng Dairy will not bring him immediate benefits, only long-term benefits, so why should he end up so soon?

"Yes, we should have the mentality of picking up the slack. The acquisition of Huacheng Dairy will not make the company grow rapidly. The key is mergers and reorganizations. Just digesting and absorbing them will take a long time and a lot of energy."

Qin Xifeng is still cautious about acquiring Huacheng Dairy.

His reasons are very good. Huacheng Dairy has no brand advantage, and its scale is smaller than that of Xueling Dairy, not to mention technology. Xueling Dairy is far behind the other company.

The only benefit of acquiring the other party is to expand the scale on the surface, but not only will there be no benefits in the short term, but it may become a burden to Xueling Dairy and easily lead to indigestion problems.

"Yes, yes, your statement is the most vivid, it means picking up leaks! So I am not in a hurry. I will wait for the other party to prepare for a clearance sale, and then I will have a serious talk with him."

Wang Jianjun also agreed with Qin Xifeng's point of view and decided to wait until later.

noon.

Gulidan made a pot of mutton soup and rice, served with side dishes and butter naan bread, and it tasted delicious.

Wang Jianjun stood up and left after eating. He wanted to return to the city immediately to find Sun Dong and finalize the long-term supply agreement. In fact, there will be no change in this matter at all. It was Qin who increased the discount for Xueling Dairy.

Xifeng and Sun Dong had agreed long ago.

As the ski season is coming to an end, many dairy companies in the province, including Huacheng Dairy, cannot withstand the pressure of rising raw material prices and have raised the sales prices of fresh milk products.

There are only two companies in the province that are standing still, one is Xueling Dairy and the other is Grassland Dairy.

Two strong companies have stabilized sales prices, while the company that increased prices is facing sales pressure. A number of small and medium-sized dairy companies have quickly lost part of their market share, and life is becoming increasingly difficult.

"What is this called? It's called waiting for death if you don't raise prices, and you're waiting for death if you raise prices. It's not easy!"

Sun Dong came to give a work report to Qin Xifeng that day. When talking about the recent changes in the dairy market, he couldn't help but sigh. Some of these companies are customers of Natural Animal Husbandry, and he doesn't want them to fail.

Lose.

"Most of them can survive. Have you ever seen a market that only rises but never falls? When the price of fresh milk raw materials drops rapidly, it will be our turn to be troubled. Therefore, we must prepare for a rainy day and be prepared in advance.

"

Being prepared for danger in times of peace, Qin Xifeng made new demands on Sun Dong.

He asked Sun Dong to make preparations as early as possible to prepare for the future drop in fresh milk prices. This includes signing long-term supply agreements with powerful dairy companies inside and outside the province, strengthening the stability of the milk source alliance, and passing

Technical advantages, scale advantages, management advantages, efforts to reduce costs, etc.

"Boss, the company has also discussed this issue in meetings, but it is not as comprehensive as you think. After I go back, I will hold another management meeting to pool our efforts and come up with a practical plan as soon as possible."

Sun Dong is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. While he is smiling at the changes in the situation, he is also strengthening his own adaptability.

He has now tasted the sweetness of large-scale operations, and he admires Qin Xifeng for quietly building the new Bablu Ranch. He estimates that the bull market for fresh milk raw materials will last until the middle of the year or the second half of the year, with the natural resources of the four ranches.

In animal husbandry, you are not afraid of any challenges.

After Sun Dong left, Qin Xifeng drove to the breeding farm.

"Xiaoyan, what do you want to tell me face to face?"

Qin Xifeng received a call from Du Xiaoyan in the morning, saying that he had something to interview with him. However, Sun Dong was still there at that time, so he only came to the breeding farm in the afternoon.

"Boss, the Swiss brown cattle in the farm are about to start calving again, and there are a lot of second-generation hybrids. I'm wondering if we can eliminate the first generation of Swiss brown cattle and continue to use 'second-generation hybrids' and 'third-generation hybrids' in the future.

'What about breeding?'

She was a little unsure about this matter, so she thought of asking Qin Xifeng for advice.

"Now it's time to use second-generation or third-generation hybrids for breeding. After this calving period, all Swiss brown cattle will be eliminated. Well, I will discuss it with Mr. Sun later, or else they will all be sent to Bablu Ranch.

go."

The number of second-generation hybrid brown cattle or Kirk brown cattle is already sufficient, and it is useless to keep the first-generation Swiss brown cattle. However, Swiss brown cattle are also excellent breeds of dairy cows and can be produced directly if they are sent to Bablu Ranch.

Milk).

Qin Xifeng decided to send all the Swiss brown cows to Bablu Ranch to continue calving while producing milk.

When the second-generation hybrids were originally bred, these Swiss brown cattle used multiple sets of paternal sources. The use of second-generation hybrids or third-generation hybrids did not cause concerns about inbreeding.

"Okay! After the first generation of Swiss brown cows calve, they will be sent to Bablu Ranch in batches."

Du Xiaoyan made up her mind that she would approach Qin Xifeng about this matter today.

In addition to the latest hybrid breeds, the breeding farm will soon breed the fourth generation of brown cattle. In about a few months, the barns on the farm will be full again, and the fourth generation of brown cattle will enter the breeding period.

From the fourth generation onwards, there will be no further division into different generations, but the individual quality of brown cattle will be used as the selection criterion. The fittest will survive and the work of improving the brown cattle breed in the Western Regions will be successfully completed.

The improved brown cattle, mainly represented by third-generation (fourth-generation) brown cattle, have stable genetic characteristics. The milk production and meat yield have been significantly improved compared to the previous Western Region brown cattle.

In the future, each pasture will gradually eliminate the first and second generation Western Region brown cattle, and all will be iterated into third (fourth) generation improved breeds. Breeding farms will steadily provide improved brown cattle.

As for the new brown cattle, it will take longer to breed.
