In the ward of the county hospital, Zhou Yang was discussing the purchase of bone residue with Father Zhong.
Father Zhong did not agree very much with Zhou Yang's idea of using bone residue as feed. After all, he had worked in the meat factory for so many years and had seen poor people taking the bone residue home to boil for oil. He had also seen people pulling bone residue into I went back to fertilize, but I never saw anyone feeding that stuff to livestock.
Although Zhou Yang had already said that he would grind the bones into powder and use them.
But in Father Zhong's view, it's still the same thing when bone residue is turned into bone meal.
This is like making pancakes from Guanyin soil, but it still cannot cure hunger.
So after thinking for a while, Father Zhong confirmed again: "Xiao Zhou, do you really want to buy those useless bones?"
"Well, I do have this idea!" Zhou Yang said seriously.
"Since you said so, I will follow you, but I don't know how much you plan to spend on it?"
Zhong Jian'an has worked in the meat factory for nearly thirty years. He has sold pork, chicken, beef and mutton, as well as raw meat, cooked meat and semi-finished products, but he has never sold bones and scraps!
In the past, the bones and residue from the meat factory would be thrown into the garbage dump in the backyard. After a long time, they had to be lit on fire, which was very troublesome to deal with.
If you can really sell those garbage-like bones and dregs, it will be considered a big political achievement.
Zhou Yang thought for a few seconds and then said: "Uncle Zhong, what do you think of 10 yuan per ton?"
10 yuan per ton is the price Zhou Yang gave after careful consideration!
To be honest, in this era where shopping is measured in points, the price of 10 yuan per ton is really not low.
I know that a ton of flour only costs more than three hundred yuan, not to mention that this thing is still useless bone residue!
But Zhou Yang knew that one ton of bone meal weighing two thousand kilograms, if used together with one ton of biological feed, could guarantee the slaughter of six pigs!
In terms of production ratio, it is still very cost-effective!
"10 yuan? Xiao Zhou, are you really willing to buy the bones and slag from our factory at 10 yuan a ton?"
Zhong Jian'an's voice was trembling. Their meat factory has several meat production workshops, and at least several thousand kilograms of bone residue must be cleaned out every day.
The rotten bones currently piled up in the backyard of the factory area range from 100,000 to 80,000 jins. If the price is 10 yuan per ton, that is a considerable amount of money.
More importantly, this deal is long-term!
To be honest, Zhong Jian'an was moved!
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Uncle Zhong, I am sure and sure, and once we decide on this matter, we have to sign a contract!"
"Okay, uncle has made the decision on this matter. According to the price of ten yuan per ton, you can go directly to the meat factory to find uncle whenever you want!"
"Then let's make a deal!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, it's settled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered something and immediately said again: "Uncle Zhong, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help with!"
"What's the matter, tell me!"
"Uncle, see if you can help us contact a factory that sells crushers. After all, we have to turn this bone residue back into bone meal. It's really too laborious to rely on labor alone!" Zhou Yang said.
"Pulverizer, I really don't have any connections here. Zhong Hai, do you have a place to buy it?"
While speaking, Father Zhong asked his second son.
Zhong Hai immediately said: "Yes, there is, but the price may be a bit expensive!"
"Brother Zhong, do you estimate how much one will cost?" Zhou Yang asked.
"At least three thousand yuan. Our iron ore mine purchased a few units last year, and the price is not low!"
Zhong Hai serves as the deputy mine director at the largest iron mine in Ning City. He happened to participate in the equipment purchasing meeting at the mine last year, so he is quite familiar with the price of the crusher.
"Three thousand dollars?"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard the price.
In their opinion, three thousand yuan is simply an astronomical figure, and it is really beyond what their small production team can afford.
"So expensive?" Zhou Yang also frowned.
He had actually expected that the crusher was not cheap. After all, this was not an exception, but a common phenomenon.
The reason is still caused by the "scissors gap between industry and agriculture" commonly practiced in the country.
The so-called scissor gap between industry and agriculture means that the government uses its coercive power to purchase agricultural products at low prices, sell industrial products at high prices, and use agriculture to subsidize industry.
Therefore, looking at all industrial products in this era, their prices are very expensive!
Take an ordinary bicycle as an example. In this era when the per capita annual income of the urban population is less than 200 yuan, it actually costs a full 1,780 yuan.
This is totally unreasonable!
This is equivalent to a person working hard for a year. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, he may not be able to afford a bicycle.
And this still refers to the urban population. If it were changed to rural areas, it would be even more incomparable.
Even though Zhou Yang was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that the price of the crusher would be so ridiculously expensive.
Zhong Hai also sighed and said: "The price is indeed this price, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. You need to apply from the factory to the top!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang finally remembered that buying some large equipment in this era does not require just having money.
Thinking of this, he completely gave up the idea of buying new equipment.
On the one hand, they cannot afford the price, and on the other hand, there is no way to buy it.
But if you can’t buy a new one, you can try an old one.
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Brother Zhong, I wonder if you have any old crushers that have been eliminated in your mine?"
"Yes, there are, but I'm afraid there are some performance issues. You also know that we are an iron mine, and the crusher is mainly used to crush ore. It will be useless in a few years!" Zhong Haidao.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, don't be afraid of this. As long as the motor and main components are fine, we can handle the rest ourselves!"
"If that's the case, I can ask you. It should be a lot cheaper!" Zhong Hai said.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you. If you have any news, please tell me as soon as possible!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
After saying this, Zhou Yang took advantage of everyone's time to go through the discharge procedures for Zhong Na and went directly to Zhong Zhennan's office.
In the office, Zhong Zhennan was treating a middle-aged man.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming, he motioned to him to wait for a while.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man left, and Zhong Zhennan closed the office door.
"What do you mean by sending that female educated youth to me?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Uncle, I think her condition is not quite right, a bit like depression, so I want you to come and take a look!"
Zhong Zhennan said with some surprise: "You kid even knows about depression?"
"It's just depression. Do you know that this is strange?"
"There are very few people studying this in our country. You have never studied medicine, but you can tell at a glance that the female educated youth is suffering from depression. Don't you think it's strange?"
Zhou Yang didn't explain much, but asked again: "Uncle, can you do anything about her illness?"
Zhong Zhennan sighed and said: "If we were in Shanghai, I could prescribe some targeted medicine for her, but now, I am really powerless!"
"Moreover, for depression, medication can only treat the symptoms. If we want her to return to normal, psychological treatment is even more crucial!"
Zhou Yang nodded. Medication can only cure the poor immune regulation left by depression. To completely cure depression, psychological conditioning is really needed.
He himself knew some treatment methods for depression, but after all, he was a man and a married man, so it was really not appropriate to take action.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang decided to go back and think of a solution!
Later, Zhou Yang chatted with Zhong Zhennan about Lin Wanwan's condition and asked him to take more care of the poor woman while Lin Wanwan was hospitalized, and then left his office.
