Chapter 2099: Chapter 1804: Boss Dafeng’s Farming Difficulties (Part 3)
With the source breed inspection by Professor Song, it’s expensive but the calf born is truly sturdy.
Then she followed up with another sentence:
"Eating coarse feed definitely requires fine processing. Our cattle are picky eaters, and we have expert guidance. We try to keep the diet balanced with silage, dry feed, refined feed, and nutrients all mixed together."
Cattle have runs, and while silage is sowhat acidic and tasty for animals, it can be too monotonous.
Over ti, there’s a chance of stomach acid, diarrhea, or imbalances in calcium and phosphorus.
In short, there’s a lot to learn in farming, and carelessness is not an option.
The boss paused, digesting these answers one by one. His opinion of this clean and pretty girl changed considerably—
So young, even if she’s not hands-on, she obviously cares a lot about household affairs. See how clearly she explains everything.
And she speaks sincerely.
How thoroughly she answers!
Thinking of this, he felt two more degrees of warmth in his heart.
This habit of addressing questions one by one is purely because both Qiaoqiao and Lun Chuan have this habit. Influenced by it, Song Tan learned it too.
As for the last question about last year’s market...
Song Tan had no solution: "Our cattle have fixed partners, so prices generally don’t fluctuate much, on the higher side."
These words made the boss feel a pang of jealousy.
Fixed partners? And higher prices?
Every ti their fixed partners negotiated prices, they would press hard. How could there be such a big gap?
"How high is high?"
If he had a reference, he might also suggest raising prices next ti.
Song Tan fell silent.
Seeing this, Boss Dafeng quickly sighed again:
"You don’t know, the market has been bad these past two years. I spent a year raising cattle, and my heart is worn out. After investing the capital, when they’re finally released, sotis I’ve barely avoided losses!"
Engaging in this farming keeps one on edge, but if he were to do sothing else, after investing so much, he’s reluctant to change fields.
Besides, being familiar with sothing is better than being a novice!
Based on all of this, he spoke sincerely: "Miss, you have fixed cooperators, proving your beef quality is good. For those who focus on quality, mine can only be considered average, so I can’t compete with you, right?"
"Tell
what price you’re at, so we can have a reference. I’ll offer you a further 20% off! Oh right, I have a farming group here. I’ll pull you in later!"
Oh, a farming group would be good to have.
Song Tan quickly forwarded Chen Xi’s WeChat:
"Here’s the contact of the person responsible for our ranch— as for the price, uncle, there’s really no reference, as we’re not in the sa league."
Is she declining politely?
The farming boss sighed a little but didn’t plan to push—business is business, it’s wise to keep so leverage for oneself.
Who would’ve thought she would suddenly state a figure: "200."
Boss Dafeng didn’t catch on at first.
what? 200? How did it suddenly beco 200?
After a while, he turned his head, staring at Song Tan: "You, you, you... are selling beef at that price? Net price?"
Net price ans weighing the beef after slaughter, removing miscellaneous items—but even so, 200 is too exaggerated!
These days, only big companies buying imported beef would see such prices!
Song Tan shook her head: "Gross weight."
The boss felt dizzy instantly.
Gross weight 200?!
Last year, he sold it at 9 yuan per pound for gross weight, and you’re selling at 200?! How is that possible?!
In his farming group, the best breeders, those carefully raising Black Angus cattle, fetched a market peak price of 17 yuan per pound!
against 200, the gap is tenfold, if not more. Is this reasonable?
The boss took two heavy breaths, then looked at Song Tan again, suddenly calming down and snorting.
He was right that this girl doesn’t know cattle farming, right?! Look at this nonsense, almost spiking his blood pressure.
He even thought she was honest, for nothing, offering her that 20% off!
Song Tan helplessly: ...She knew he wouldn’t believe even if she told him!
But since this feed processing deal wasn’t worth much to begin with, and the boss was already sweaty in the heat promising another 20% off, there was no need for her to be evasive.
After all, she’s not afraid of competition.
But the result of speaking the truth was—
Boss Dafeng, agitated, pushed open the warehouse door, seeing the shredder already spewing fragnts ahead, the air filled with the unique scent of shredded corn stalks.
He sniffed, glanced at Song Tan again, his expression complex:
"Your corn grows quite nicely. But how co you picked all the cobs? If you left them to crush together, the nutrition would be more comprehensive."
Though the comprehensiveness would be limited.
But those unripe corn cobs wouldn’t be put to much use anyway.
