The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Zhuang Xuejian was watching the calves in the pen carefully. They looked quite happy. As for the others, he couldn't tell them one, two or three.

"Director Cao, what do you think of these calves?" Zhuang Xuejian walked a few steps, approached Cao Shujie, and asked him in a low voice.

Cao Jianlong was also standing not far away from Cao Shujie, his ears perked up, wanting to hear Cao Shujie's thoughts.

"It's not bad. You can see that these calves have bright eyes, wagging ears and tails, shiny fur, even and steady breathing, and quite a lot of exercise."

"Also, have you noticed that these calves have large heads, thick necks, thick and powerful limbs, and a wider gap between the two front legs."

"They also have wide and strong buttocks, high buttocks, broad bodies, and moderate body length. These are all signs of high-quality calves." Cao Shujie said very professionally.

Cao Jianlong, Zhuang Xuejian, and Zhu Hongwei were stunned. They had never heard these words before, so how could they give any advice?

"What you mean is that the quality of these calves is pretty good, right?" Cao Jianlong asked directly.

Cao Shujie nodded: "These calves are really good."

"Then let's talk about the price and buy it if it's suitable?" Zhuang Xuejian asked.

Zhu Hongwei has been waiting for Cao Shujie to express his stance.

Cao Shujie was also straightforward. He turned around and called Feng Tao: "Boss Feng."

Feng Tao is here.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Boss Cao, what do you think?"

He seems very confident in the quality of his calves.

Cao Shujie also simply said: "Boss Feng, we have all seen it. These calves of yours are quite good. If the price is right, we will buy more."

The underlying meaning is that if the price is not right, no matter how good the quality of these calves is, they will not buy them.

Feng Tao also heard the meaning of Cao Shujie's words. He was not in a hurry to talk about the price, but first talked about the current market situation of calves.

To describe the current market for calves in one word, they are all hot commodities.

The words put pressure on Cao Shujie and others, which meant that he really didn't have to worry about selling the calves here.

Cao Jianlong, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian looked at each other. When they heard Feng Tao's words, they were a little anxious, as if they were afraid of not being able to buy a calf.

But Cao Shujie acted very calmly, at least from the expression on his face, you couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Feng Tao looked at Cao Shujie's calm face and thought, this one who looks the youngest is actually the most slippery one.

"Boss Feng, to be honest, we also want to buy more calves, otherwise we wouldn't have driven more than 100 kilometers to come to you."

Cao Shujie said: "You and Uncle Li are still cousins, so you should know the scale of our cattle raising, right?"

At this point, the expression on Cao Shujie's face suddenly became more serious: "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Cao Shujie. I am the founder of Mengmeng Orchard. I have two farms under my name and currently raise a total of 757 cattle. "

"At the same time, our three villages, Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village, currently raise a total of 300 cattle."

"This number will at least double in the near future. We also have our own fixed supplier of calves. This time we come here mainly because we want to continue to expand the scale on the existing basis."

"Compared with idle individual farmers, we have a more stable breeding volume. We have great advantages in terms of the purchase of calves and payments..."

"You may not believe what I have to say. Boss Feng can ask Uncle Li. We just sold him 300 cattle for slaughter and fattening at one time yesterday. I still have 300 cattle to be sold. Next, our preliminary purchase plan is 1,000. Above the head, if the price is too high, we will definitely not consider it.”

No matter what the price is on the market, it is only for individuals. There must be a special price for bulk purchases.

Some people may wonder, since the selling price per unit is higher, why don’t people like Feng Tao and Cui Jianguo slowly start retailing?

But before talking about this issue, we must also consider that these calves have many costs in the hands of farmers. Some farmers specialize in breeding calves instead of raising cattle. Once the strategy is changed, the investment involved will never be imagined. So simple.

Cao Shujie's mouth was definitely full of words. He turned all his disadvantages into advantages, and kept emphasizing that they were large in scale and had strong financial strength.

Through repeated explanations, this idea was instilled in Feng Tao, and at the same time it also created a certain amount of pressure on Feng Tao.

Having said that, Feng Tao really didn't know how big Cao Shujie's company was. When chatting with his cousin Li Jiagan, his old cousin Li Jiagan never mentioned this.

At this time, when he heard Cao Shujie say that they had raised more than 1,000 cows, Feng Tao secretly muttered in his heart that this scale was really quite big.

Moreover, they will sell 600 fattening cattle in the near future.

Feng Tao felt that he could not supply enough calves.

It was also like this that made Feng Tao realize that the customer introduced to him by his cousin was probably a high-quality customer.

"Boss Cao, please give me a price." Feng Tao said calmly.

When Secretary Cao heard what he said, he said directly: "Boss Feng, I won't hide it from you. I just bought 200 calves at the end of June this year. They cost 3,700 yuan each."

Who knew that as soon as Cao Shujie finished talking about this, Feng Tao shook his head and waved his hands: "This is impossible, Boss Cao, you can go to the market. Even if you buy in bulk, you will never get the goods at this price."

Cao Shujie looked back at Cao Jianlong, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian, and the four of them made eye contact for a while.

Cao Jianlong asked: "Boss Feng, how much do you think is appropriate?"

He said: "Business is like this. You give a price, and if we think it's suitable, we'll buy it. If it's not suitable, we'll make a counter-offer."

"As you can see, we came today with sincerity. We can also buy calves ourselves, but we want to raise more calves this year..."

Compared to what Cao Shujie said just now, Feng Tao felt that Cao Jianlong spoke more truthfully.

Feng Tao hesitated for a while, then stretched out four fingers: "If this number works, we will trade."

Cao Shujie and the other four looked at Feng Tao's stretched out four fingers, and they all thought of what he said when they had dinner with Li Jiagan yesterday.

Li Jiagan said at the time that he had a premonition that the price of calves would rise to more than 5,000 yuan within 3 to 5 years.

But looking at Feng Tao's quotation today, it has already exceeded 4,000. With this price increase, is 5,000 yuan still far away?

"This won't work, Boss Feng. The price is too high and I can't accept it." Cao Shujie objected immediately.

He would rather not buy these calves than accept this price.

After careful calculation, Cui Jingguo asked for 3,500 yuan for the first batch of calves he bought in February of this year. Then, for the second batch of calves in June this year, the price had risen to 3,700 yuan.

Unexpectedly, not even three months had passed before they bought another calf, and the price had already exceeded 4,000 yuan.

In Cao Shujie's opinion, this is bullshit.

He was speechless and didn't know what words to use to express his complicated mood at this moment.

Cao Shujie is still thinking about what kind of abnormal market this is, so that such an outrageous price increase occurs?

"This is really an increase in the price of raw materials, feed, forage, and labor. If the prices of the products sold do not increase, the company will become less and less profitable. If this continues, it will even lose money." Cao Shujie was thinking about this problem in his mind. .

Feng Tao did not refute Cao Shujie's resolute attitude. He said with a smile: "Boss Cao, I really don't want such a high price. This is the price on the market now. You have to find one with a lower price than this." , I will sell it immediately at the price you mentioned."

Cao Shujie turned to look at Feng Tao. Seeing the other person's expression that seemed to hold him in check, Cao Shujie smiled.

He took out his mobile phone: "Boss Feng, this is what you said, and I don't put it in black and white. What we businessmen pay attention to is a promise."

"Don't worry, Boss Cao. What I said just now will stick with you. As long as you find one with a lower price than mine, I will pay your price immediately." Feng Tao looked very confident.

Cao Shujie dialed Cui Jingguo's phone number in front of them: "Boss Cui, how is the calf prepared for me?"

Feng Tao didn't expect that Cao Shujie would actually ask him face to face, but he was not in a hurry.

Cao Shujie put the phone on speakerphone directly.

Feng Tao and Cao Jianlong all heard Cui Jingguo's voice on the phone.

"Boss Cao, I have prepared more than 500 heads now. If you need them, I will send them to you first."

"If you're not in a hurry, I'll collect 1,000 heads and give them to you." Cui Jingguo said.

Cao Shujie asked him: "Boss Cui, what is our price this time?"

"Boss Cao, we have an old cooperative relationship. You want a larger quantity this time, and I don't want to raise the price for you. But the price of calves on the market is really high now. It would cost me to put all these calves together." A lot of money.”

Feng Tao next to him felt happy when he heard Cui Jingguo say this.

He specializes in selling calves and knows the market situation of calves. Now the retail price of calves generally exceeds 4,000 yuan.

Feng Tao's asking price just now was not high, but he didn't give any discount.

He was feeling proud, but suddenly he heard Cui Jingguo say in his ear: "If we stick to the last price, my work will definitely be in vain. Do you think this will work? Give me another 100 yuan, and we'll pay 3,800 yuan per head. "

"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed happily.

"Boss Cui, if you can collect 600 heads, you can send them to me first." Cao Shujie said to Cui Jingguo when he was about to hang up the phone.

When he put away the phone, he looked at Feng Tao opposite with a calm expression on his face, his eyes seemed to say: "What do you think?"

What else could Feng Tao think about?

He finally agreed to collect 600 heads for Cao Shujie within a month at 3,800 yuan per head.

If Cao Shujie and the others wanted more, he would have to spend time raising calves.

He didn't expect Cao Shujie's other calf supplier to be so powerful. They had already prepared more than 500 calves. Calculating this, the strength on his side was still far behind.
