Chapter 298 Chicken Feed
"So what?" Ying Zheng said.
When Qin An heard this, he knew that his father-in-law had no idea about the way of business.
So, Qin An patiently explained: "Father-in-law, how much a chicken sells depends on our cost of raising the chicken.
The cost of chickens includes chicken feed, chicken medicine, and labor. Assuming that the feed for a chicken is one penny, the livestock medicine is one penny, and the labor is one penny, that is, three cents a day.
It takes one hundred days to raise a chicken, which costs three hundred coins.
When the chicken is mature, I will sell it for three hundred Wen. Do you think it is appropriate? "
"It's impossible to make nothing at all," Ying Zheng said. "People will not be so stupid as to waste a hundred days without making anything."
Qin An said: "And I'm just talking about the cost of one chicken. Now for the chickens, ducks and geese in the farm, I use the feed I make myself and raise them free-range, so someone needs to clean the farm every day.
Moreover, people need to be sent to search for chicken, duck and goose eggs in the farms. Not only that, but also people need to be sent to hatch these eggs. All of this requires money.
So forget about the breeding farm. If Lijiacun really wants to open a workshop, then it will open a feed workshop. We will sell this feed method to Lijiacun.
We can give them two choices. One is our formula, but Lijiacun will give us half of the workshop’s profits.
The second one is to directly spend a lot of money to buy out our feed, and we will not want their dividends in the future, and promise that we will never sell formula to people in Lijiacun again. "
"Why let them buy it out and ask for dividends directly? Aren't we making more money?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.
Qin An smiled and said: "Dividends are good, but can we always have them? Once there is a war three years later and the two sides are in conflict, how can he give us the dividends?
Besides, once we connect to the outside world, his feed workshop may be suppressed, but the chickens in our chicken farm are top-quality local chickens, and their value is very high.
So I thought of a way to get the other party to buy out the secret feed recipe at once. "
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
"Village chief," Zhang Han said, "Meng Li is here."
Ying Zheng looked outside the yard and found Meng Yi standing at the door, and Li Si, Feng Quji and others were also there.
"Let them come in." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Zhang Han responded, and then shouted: "The village chief asks everyone to come in."
Only then did Meng Yi and the other three dare to walk into the courtyard.
"Join the village chief."
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Ying Zheng said.
Qin An stood up and said to Li Si: "Father-in-law, please sit down."
Ying Zheng and Li suddenly looked at Qin An strangely, and everyone else also looked at Qin An with strange expressions on their faces, realizing that Qin An seemed to be right in calling Li Si his father-in-law.
But in this case, wouldn't Li Si's status be equal to that of Ying Zheng?
Li Si immediately said in panic: "Sir, this can't be the case. It's my blessing that my daughter can become your husband's concubine. How dare I become your husband's father-in-law?"
"You can't say that. In my heart, whether it's Manman, Yanran, or Feng'er, since they have followed me, I will treat them equally. If the father-in-law has any inconvenience, we will discuss our own affairs.
If several father-in-laws are together, then I will call the village chief father-in-law and Lao Li my father-in-law. "Qin An said seriously.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "That's it. From now on, we will discuss our own affairs. Li Si, please sit down."
Ying Zheng still has great courage and is decisive in doing things. This somewhat embarrassing matter was decided by Ying Zheng.
Seeing what Ying Zheng said, Li Si said nothing more and sat in the seat given by Qin An.
"Village Chief." Meng Yi said, "Sir, I have figured out the production chain."
"Not bad." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "You come here this time probably because you want to ask your husband for some advice."
"The village chief is wise," Meng Yi said, "I took chicken as an example of the production chain and learned that the first step in the chicken production chain is feed.
Chickens eat rice and worms. Using rice is too wasteful. Using worms is hard to find now. So, I hope your husband can help me solve this problem. "
Qin An smiled and said: "Insects are indeed difficult to find, but we can raise them, and chicken feed is divided into chicks, growth period and fattening period.
I mentioned this to my father-in-law just now, and you happened to be here. "
"Father-in-law?" Meng Yi understood immediately, "You are already married to Miss Manman?"
"Almost, almost." Qin An said with a smile, "Lao Meng, I would like to ask first, do you have any business in Lijiacun?"
"Yes." The person who answered was not Meng Yi but Ying Zheng, "Meng Li's business is spread all over the country. Now with your help, the Meng family has the most money in the country.
The people of Lijiacun wanted to build a feed mill, not only to become as wealthy as Zhaojiacun, but also to create a businessman like Meng Li.
Nowadays, in Shili and Baxiang, if you have money, you will have power, but if you don't have money, you will only suffer. It is because I have money that I can get the court to agree to give me more than 5,000 villagers. "
"I see." Qin An said, "Then what is our relationship with Lijiacun?"
"It's okay." Ying Zheng replied, "As long as the benefits are big enough, sometimes they can be used for us."
"That's good." Qin An said, "Lao Meng, I will give you the feed preparation and the method of raising insects. I will also give you a design drawing of the chicken farm."
"Sir, you want to open a chicken farm?" Meng Yi said.
"Yes, although the scale of our chicken farm here is okay, it is free-range. What I am giving you now is concentrated chicken farming. Although it may be a little cruel to the chickens, it is definitely faster and more profitable. It saves trouble and the scale can be expanded ten times as much as it is now." Qin An said.
"Ten times, wouldn't that be tens of thousands, and wouldn't there be even more people to manage them?" Meng Yi said in shock.
"No, it only needs a hundred people to manage it."
"Impossible." Meng Yi immediately objected, "I have purchased tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, and hired thousands of people."
"Oh." Qin An said, "Why do we need so many people? Please wait for me for a while."
Qin An could only go back to his room and write down the methods of raising chickens, ducks, and geese, otherwise it would be a waste of manpower.
As soon as they entered the room, three figures pulled the quilt firmly to their chests like frightened birds.
When the three of them saw that the person coming was Qin An, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ms. sir, can you knock on the door before entering next time?" Ying Yinman said dissatisfied.
"Yes, sir. We haven't put on our clothes yet," Li Yanran said.
Zou Feng said bitterly: "Next time you do this, be careful I hurt you with a hidden weapon."
Some people died, but not completely...
