Chapter 143 Fat Year (Additional update)
The agreement between the Feed Association and Hailufeng Company has no direct impact on ordinary people, but it has a closely related indirect impact.
Because the price of fish meal is related to the price of feed, and the price of feed is related to the price of aquatic products, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs.
Among them, aquatic products have the greatest impact.
Because the fishmeal content in aquatic product breeding feeds is usually required to be about 50 to 70%, while the fishmeal content in pig feed and poultry feed is between 1 and 5%.
In the breeding industry, feed costs account for about 50 to 80% of the total costs.
Looking at it this way, we know that the price of fish meal determines the price of aquatic products, but the price of fish meal has a relatively small impact on the cost of pigs, chickens, ducks and geese.
Therefore, the market prices of fish feed, shrimp feed, and crab feed have generally dropped by 15 to 25% since early February.
This decline will have an astonishing change in the per-acre yield benefit of domestic aquaculture.
The Lingnan Aquatic Products Association has conducted relevant research. It is generally bearish on the future domestic aquatic product prices. It is expected that the wholesale and retail prices of aquatic products in the market will fall by about 5 to 10%.
At the same time, aquaculture associations in other provinces also issued announcements to remind farmers not to blindly expand the scale of breeding and avoid large-scale losses due to market price fluctuations and overcapacity.
After all, at this stage, domestic consumption power is relatively limited, and the consumption of aquatic products will not surge all at once. If production is expanded too much at once, overcapacity will easily occur.
Even if we need to expand production, we must adjust slowly.
However, there is one type of fish whose production scale is very large.
Lingnan, Minnan, Guizhou, and Qiongzhou are the four most suitable areas for large-scale cultivation of Egyptian pond lice, namely South China F4. Major domestic feed manufacturers have begun to cultivate Egyptian pond lice.
Either expand the self-operated breeding farms, or cooperate with villagers near the feed factory for breeding.
These domestic feed manufacturers did not even miss the Spring Festival and worked overtime to expand the breeding scale of Egyptian pond lice, hoping to obtain cheap raw materials as soon as possible.
It is estimated that by June next year, a huge production capacity of 8 million tons of fresh fish, 3 million tons of fish meal, and 880,000 tons of fish oil will be formed in South China.
However, this huge production capacity also requires the consumption of approximately 24 million tons of corn and soybean meal for various types of fodder, which has also put considerable pressure on the domestic supply of plant-based feed.
This is why Xue Hua wanted to try growing alfalfa himself. Alfalfa can also be used as fish feed for Egyptian pond lice, and it is also a very good feed.
At a time when some feed manufacturers are in full swing expanding Egyptian pond lice farming.
Some feed manufacturers that originally relied on imported fishmeal did not rush to start Egyptian pond lice breeding business, but purchased fishmeal directly from Haid Group.
For example, Aohua Group and Guangdong Group have no plans to develop the pond lice breeding industry in Egypt.
After all, many people will calculate that the current domestic demand for fishmeal is limited to about 4 million tons per year.
If Egypt produces 3 million tons of pond lice fish meal, plus 400,000 tons of other domestically produced fish meal, and imports 600,000 tons of deep-sea fish meal, it will be almost 4 million tons.
Haid Group already accounts for more than half of the Egyptian pond lice meal production, and the remaining more than one million tons of Egyptian pond lice meal is divided among Hailufeng Company, Hengxing Group, and Tongwei Group.
As a result, if other feed manufacturers enter the market, it will only lead to serious overcapacity, and no one will make any money by then.
Except for Hailufeng Company, which is firmly established in Diaoyutai, other companies do not dare to expand blindly. Instead, they discuss their own production capacity in private to avoid causing trouble with each other.
This round of expansion of the feed industry.
The coastal areas of South China seemed to have been stimulated, and the economy changed from its previous sluggishness and began to regain its vitality.
…
And February 11th is the Lunar New Year in the South.
The last batch of gifts issued by Hailufeng Company were successively delivered to customers via Shunfeng Express container trucks or cargo planes.
Magic City.
As a local, Zhao Xinyan looked at the empty streets and knew that the New Year was here.
I just rode my bicycle back to the gate of the community.
"Ms. Zhao, I have your express delivery." The middle-aged security guard in the security room quickly reminded him that the reason why he knew Zhao Xinyan was that she came to pick up the express delivery every two days.
"Oh? When I think about it, I almost forgot." Zhao Xinyan then remembered that the gifts that Hailufeng Company had given to old customers had arrived.
After picking up the Shunfeng Express on the express rack in the security room, she murmured to herself: "Use Shunfeng Express? I thought it was a postal parcel or a three-way express?"
Borrowing the utility knife from the security room, she opened the outer packaging. Inside was a large bag of vacuum-packed morels, which looked very fresh. The ice pack had not melted yet, but this was normal, after all, it was winter.
Suddenly a voice sounded nearby.
"Sister Zhao, why don't you buy morels? Such a big pack costs four to five hundred yuan, right?"
Zhao Xinyan turned her head, raised her glasses, and saw clearly who was coming. He was the son of her next-door neighbor. He was also looking for a courier: "It turns out to be Tianrui, just in time. You can take half of it back."
< br>
"I don't dare to ask for such an expensive thing. My mother will talk about me again later." Dong Tianrui shook his head like a rattle.
Zhao Xinyan opened the vacuum bag, poured about half of it into the express bag, and then handed it to Dong Tianrui: "Just tell Sister Hong that I will deliver it. Sister Hong helps me take care of the child all day long. This little thing is nothing, and this Someone gave it to me, take it.”
"..." Dong Tianrui was stuffed with half a pack of morels, with an awkward and speechless smile on his face.
The main reason why he didn't want to accept it was that he didn't understand much about the human relationship between adults. Every time Zhao Xinyan gave something to his family, his mother would send it back in a hurry, and then both sides would argue and accept it again.
If he collected the items, they would say that he collected the items at will.
Seeing this, Dong Tianrui was speechless.
Can't it be simpler?
Sure enough, when he came home with a courier and a bag of morels.
"Tianrui, what did you buy? You spent money indiscriminately again." His mother Li Yinghong blurted out as soon as she saw the express delivery in his hand.
"Clothes! Don't you need new clothes for the New Year?" Dong Tianrui handed the bag of morels to his mother: "These are the morels that Sister Zhao just gave me. My friend went to play with me and won't come back for dinner at night."< br>
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Tianrui threw the express delivery containing clothes on the sofa, quickly backed up and went out, and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.
"What's this kid doing in such a hurry?" Li Yinghong suddenly realized the morels on her hands: "This kid, accepting such a valuable thing so casually, ugh! Xinyan is so polite, I'd better take it back to her!"
After a while, she knocked on Zhao Xinyan's door.
When Zhao Xinyan saw it was Li Yinghong and the morels on her hand, she knew the purpose of the other party's visit, and quickly said: "Sister Hong, these are the morels I gave you when I shopped online. The store gave away two kilograms of these. If you want it fresh, there are only four people in my family and we can’t eat two kilograms at a time, so just take it!”
"Xinyan, don't lie to me. I often shop online. I checked just now and found that fresh morels cost more than 200 per pound. What store is so good?" Li Yinghong didn't believe it at all. I think Zhao Xinyan said this deliberately, hoping that she would accept the bag of morels.
"Haha..." Zhao Xinyan had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and show it to her: "Sister Hong, take a look, is it free?"
After watching for a while, Li Yinghong believed it, and then she started to take advantage again: "Xinyan, does this store still give away gifts?"
Zhao Xinyan shook her head: "Sister Hong, their activities only give away to old customers. If you haven't bought anything from them, it will definitely be gone this year. Maybe you can look at next year."
"It's called Hailufeng Specialty Store, right? I'll pay attention to it later."
"Well, that's the name."
Li Yinghong looked at the bag of morels in her hand again. She had never cooked this kind of mushrooms before and didn't know how to make them delicious, so she asked, "Xinyan, how should I make these morels better?"
"I've never eaten this before. Let me take a look at the sweet potatoes."
The two of them were eating melon seeds and looking at the sweet potatoes.
"Chicken Morel Soup should be more delicious..."
"Speaking of stewed chicken, my brother brought me two black-bone chickens from my hometown. I will give you one later."
"Sister Hong, no need."
"You're welcome, neither Tianrui nor Yingying like eating black-bone chicken anyway..."
Before they knew it, the two of them had been chatting for more than an hour. Zhao Xinyan's husband opened the door with a few bags: "Hey, Sister Hong, Happy New Year! Why are you so polite? Are you bringing morels?"
"Dingxin, you misunderstood, this was given to me by Xinyan." Li Yinghong explained with a smile.
"Uh uh... That's it!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Dong Dingxin's face, and then he put the bag on the coffee table and opened it: "Today is the company's annual holiday, so I went to buy some things. This year's things are a lot more expensive, but... The prices of pork, fish and shrimp have not increased much.”
"What did you buy?" Li Yinghong glanced into the bag curiously.
Dong Dingxin took a bottle of Fanta, opened it, and took a sip: "These are some New Year's goods, such as macadamia nuts, Brazilian pine nuts, melon seeds, almonds, pistachios, chocolates and candies. The prices of these things have increased a lot this year." .”
"You two talk as husband and wife, and I won't be a light bulb."
Li Yinghong hurried back with the morels, preparing to deliver the black-bone chicken in the refrigerator to Zhao Xinyan.
"Sister Hong, walk slowly." Zhao Xinyan, who was looking through the bags, saw several bags of soft canned kabayaki eels and asked in surprise: "Why did you buy the eels?"
"Oh? What are you talking about? My colleague Xiao Li recommended me to buy this. He said that many Japanese restaurants now directly use this semi-finished product to make kabayaki eel. You have ordered eel rice for takeout several times before. Didn't you say Don’t have a few bites?”
"How much does this bag cost?" Zhao Xinyan asked.
“5 bags for 499 yuan.”
Looking at the net content of one bag of 1.2 kilograms, Zhao Xinyan didn't think it was too expensive.
Moreover, she felt that ordering takeout during the Chinese New Year was too expensive, cooking it by herself was too troublesome, and eating out was not cost-effective, so she might as well use this semi-finished kabayaki eel for a few meals.
Due to the steady increase in domestic eel production this year, the price of semi-finished kabayaki eel in the form of pre-made dishes has shown a steady downward trend.
Especially after Hailufeng Company launched a new feed formula, the eel feeding cycle has become about seven months, further reducing costs.
At present, the wholesale price of semi-finished products of roasted eels with fish-free fish has generally dropped to 70 to 80 yuan per kilogram, while the retail price is 80 to 90 yuan per kilogram.
Suddenly Zhao Xinyi discovered that the kabayaki eel was produced by Hailufeng Company: "Honey, this eel is still produced by Hailufeng Company. Today they gave me a bag of morels!"
"Giving morels? Did you just give them to Sister Hong? This company gave so many?" Dong Dingxin was very surprised.
"I gave half to Sister Hong, and I still have half left at home. Their family is really grand, and they give away two pounds of morels to every old customer."
"!? Two pounds?" Dong Dingxin looked confused: "Are morels cheap? In my impression, they don't seem cheap?"
“Online, one pound costs more than two hundred.”
Dong Dingxin's eyes widened: "Damn! Does their company really give gifts to every old customer? Even if there are not many old customers, it is still a big expense!"
"Haha, they have a lot of customers."
Dong Dingxin picked up his mobile phone and went to Tao.com, and soon found the Hailufeng franchise store. Looking at the huge sales, there were many videos and photos of recent photos and gifts in the comment area. After a casual look, there were thousands of them. comments of this type.
"How much do you need to give away? Two pounds per customer is more than 400 yuan. Even if they produce it themselves, it will cost more than 100 yuan, right? I just looked through it and they have given away at least hundreds of thousands of copies. , this is tens of millions more!”
"People are not short of money." Zhao Xinyan said while sorting the contents of the bag.
"Not short of money?" Dong Dingxin was a little confused at first.
But when he saw the shelves of the Hailufeng specialty store, there were special white truffles priced at 3,000 yuan per kilogram, special edible glass eels at 25,000 yuan per kilogram, cultured eel fry at 23,000 yuan per kilogram, and 10,000 yuan behind the products. + sales volume, it dawned on me.
"It turns out to be the company that sells white truffles. No wonder it is so arrogant."
Zhao Xinyan packed the nuts: "This is an exclusive business, of course it makes money."
After watching for a while, Dong Dingxin raised his head: "However, the prices of their products are quite high. Tomatoes are just a little cheaper. I feel that the people at the bottom will not buy them."
“They specialize in high-end products.”
"Speaking of which, is it possible that our company may have business dealings with Hailufeng Company?"
Zhao Xinyan opened the refrigerator and put the things that needed to be refrigerated and refrigerated: "Isn't your company a manufacturer of laboratory equipment? What business does it have with Hailufeng Company?"
Dong Dingxin clapped his hands with his fists: "I remembered that a laboratory construction company in Pengcheng ordered a large number of experimental equipment from our company. I remember that they built a laboratory for Hailufeng Company. I asked how I felt about this. Is the name familiar? ”
"Your company does so much business in a year, how do you remember it so clearly?"
"This matter also starts with that laboratory construction company. The person in charge of their purchasing department purchased a large number of second-hand experimental equipment from us, and then it was found out by Hailufeng Company. Later, our company also argued with that company It took more than a month, so I was impressed.”
"Does the person in charge of purchasing of that company want to eat both sides?" Zhao Xinyan, who works in accounting, is very aware of the tricks of some companies' purchasing departments.
"Probably." Dong Dingxin took a sip of Fanta: "Hiccup... This year I would also like to thank Hailufeng Company. Their company has successively purchased a lot of laboratory equipment and consumables from our company."
In fact, Hailufeng Company has indeed brought many opportunities during its development process.
For example, the experimental equipment company where Dong Dingxin works has successively supplied more than 80 million worth of experimental equipment and consumables to Hailufeng Company.
There are also solar panel manufacturers, lead carbon battery manufacturers, suppliers of agricultural supplies and agricultural machinery, suppliers of aquaculture equipment and consumables, suppliers of tinplate cans in the canning industry, suppliers of food-grade soft can packaging bags, paper Box packaging suppliers, etc.
These are directly related businesses.
For example, the wholesale price of soft canned packaging bags for kabayaki eel from the supplier to Hailufeng Company is 0.38 yuan each, and each bag earns 0.12 yuan.
But the demand is huge, at least 500,000 to 600,000 plastic flexible packaging bags are needed every month, and the gross profit is more than 60,000 yuan every month.
This demand is also showing an increasing trend, mainly because a large number of fish ball products also require plastic packaging bags.
Moreover, Hailufeng Company is not like other companies that procrastinate in paying money. For suppliers in the upstream industry chain, this is a rare high-quality party.
After all, all walks of life now like to press payment for goods, usually for 1 to 3 months, and even for half a year.
It would be fine if you just pressed for payment, but sometimes if you press hard and the other party goes bankrupt or runs away, it will be difficult to recover the payment.
Sometimes it is also very difficult for many upstream suppliers. Large customers suddenly go bankrupt or run away, which may even lead to the bankruptcy of some upstream companies with a relatively simple industrial structure.
Hailufeng Company implements the 1361 plan for supplier payment rules, especially for fast-consuming consumables.
1 is one month.
3 is 30% advance payment.
6 is 60% of the payment on arrival.
1 is the 10% acceptance payment.
If there are no problems, the process will be completed within one month.
For example, for packaging bags, if there are no quality problems after use and the yield rate reaches the standards stipulated in the contract, then you can get 10% of the final payment within 30 days.
The emergence of Hailufeng Company has supported a large number of related companies.
This is also the reason why many regions are trying every means to introduce large enterprises, because large enterprises not only have their own industries and employees, but also drive a large number of upstream and downstream enterprises and individuals.
Companies that serve as suppliers to Hailufeng Company have had a good year this year.
And when these companies are getting better, their employees will get more or less bonuses, and ordinary employees will also have a better life.
In the same way, the local Egyptian pond lice farmers in Shanmei are actually equivalent to the upstream suppliers of Hailufeng Company, but they are all self-employed.
These self-employed farmers who breed Egyptian pond lice have received approximately 236.25 million yuan in payments. There are a total of 2,473 Egyptian pond lice farmers, with an average income of 95,533 yuan per household, and a gross profit of about 40%, that is, each household earns 38,213 yuan. .
And this is only about half a year. If it is a one-year cycle, this income can be doubled.
Although many farmers work together as a family, at least they really make money.
For villagers and residents in Magong Town and surrounding areas, the 2026 Spring Festival is a good year, and they believe it is the beginning of good times.
