Chapter 16 Discuss Countermeasures, Cold Storage System

After confirming the outbreak of [African Swine Fever], the first thing Wu Siyuan did was to ask Huang Yuping to find two executives, Guan Xuelia and Su Shixian.

Guan Xuelie is in charge of the agriculture and animal husbandry division of [Chaoqun Group], and all [pig farms] are under his management.

Su Shixian is in charge of the terminal retail division of [Chaoqun Group]. A large part of the group's pork is sold through the terminal retail brand [Xiao Xianrou].

Wu Siyuan came to them, naturally, to learn more about the details of [Chaoqun Group].

He first asked Xiang Guan Xuelie, "Mr. Guan, please tell me about the situation of the group [pig farm]."

"Okay, Director Wu." Guan Xuelie nodded and began to say, "Currently, our group has a total of 155 [pig farms] across the country, among which [pig farms] produce millions of pigs per year. There are ten pig farms in total, and there are 145 pig farms with an annual output of more than 100,000 pigs."

"Currently, all [pig farms] are in operation. The annual slaughter volume in 2018 reached 25.5 million pigs. It is expected that if everything goes well this year, the annual slaughter volume can reach 32 million pigs."

"What about the production costs?" Wu Siyuan asked.

"The comprehensive cost is 3.5-4.2 yuan/jin!" Guan Xueliang came up with the data, which shows that he usually works hard.

Su Shixian on the side took a breath after hearing this. As a leader in the industry, Wen's pig raising cost is also 6.5-6.8 yuan/jin after so many years of breeding experience.

And [Chaoqun Group]'s pig raising cost is almost half of Wen's, so one can imagine how high its profits will be.

Su Shixian was shocked in his heart, but Guan Xuelie looked regretful. He said to Wu Siyuan, "Director Wu, the reason why the comprehensive cost is still so high is because many supporting engineering projects of our group have not yet been fully completed."

"If everything goes smoothly, I expect our group's pig raising costs to drop by another 30 to 50 cents." Guan Xuelie said.

Although two or three cents is not a lot, when multiplied by the coefficient of 32 million, it will expand into an unimaginable number.

In a pig-raising enterprise, the difference of a few cents can determine whether the enterprise's operations are at a loss or a profit.

"Not bad!" Wu Siyuan praised Guan Xuelia and affirmed his achievements.

Hearing this, Guan Xuelie smiled slightly and said modestly, "This is all the credit of Director Wu and Mr. He. Mr. He brought us the world's leading excellent pig breeds. I just did some minor management work."

Su Shixian, another executive of [Chaoqun Group], was so speechless that he felt separated. Damn it, he had tricked him again.

"Okay, stop flattering me. I see your merits." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and added, "This swine fever broke out from the north. Our group's [pig farms] are now How's it going? How's the epidemic prevention work going?"

There is no reason why Wu Siyuan doesn't care.

[Chaoqun Group]'s business model is different from Wen's business model. [Chaoqun Group] adopts a large-scale self-breeding business model.

The good thing about this model is that everything is under the control of the breeding companies, which will effectively reduce the probability of contracting African swine fever.

However, because the breeding density is much higher than that of ordinary farmers, once the [Pig Farms] of [Chaoqun Group] are infected with African swine fever, the losses will be even more severe!

When an average pig farm is infected with African swine fever, only a few hundred or at most thousands of pigs will be culled.

However, once a million-level pig farm of [Chaoqun Group] is infected with African swine fever, the number of pigs to be culled will be measured in tens of thousands.

If it is not serious, all the pigs in the entire pig farm, millions of pigs, will be culled.

This loss is really debilitating.

The investment of hundreds of millions or more than one billion has been completely wasted!

Even if [Chaoqun Group] has a lot of money, it can't stand it a few times, and its vitality will be severely damaged.

Wu Siyuan knew that African swine fever was coming this time, so he paid more attention to this matter than everyone else in the group.

Guan Xuelie did not disappoint Wu Siyuan, he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, thanks to your far-sighted vision, we have paid great attention to preventive measures in this area since we built the [pig farm]. It can be said that Be ahead of the curve in the industry.”

"After the outbreak of African swine fever, we have strengthened protective measures in this area!"

“I can’t say it’s seamless at the moment, but I can guarantee it with human heads. If one day, all pigs are infected with African swine fever, then our [Chaoqun Group] pig farms will definitely be the last batch, and there won’t even be any pig farms. You will be infected!" Guan Xuelie said confidently.

"Mr. Guan, you are right to have this kind of confidence!" Wu Siyuan said appreciatively to Guan Xuelia.

"Thank you, Director Wu, for the compliment!" Guan Xuelie paused and continued, "The current method adopted by our [pig farms] is to cut off the transmission route. All pig farms in our group have sounded the highest alert. From now on, the place is closed and the group is closed.”

"All staff live and eat in the pig farm. Unless necessary, the staff inside will not leave the pig farm, and outsiders will not enter the pig farm. Except for feed, vaccines and other necessary production materials entering the pig farm , other non-essential supplies, all fires are reduced and entry into the pig farm is prohibited."

"Also, establish a transfer station! No matter entering or leaving, you must enter the transfer station for disinfection. During transfer, external vehicles are prohibited from entering the pig farm!"

Wu Siyuan deeply agreed after hearing this, but he added, "A long-term lockdown will increase the mental pressure of employees, and pig farms must provide good guidance. In addition, they must do a good job in treating these employees who stick to the front line." compensation."

"Yes, Director Wu." Guan Xueliai nodded slightly and responded.

Wu Siyuan thought for a moment and then asked, "How is the construction of our group's cold storage currently? How much storage capacity is there for frozen raw pork?"

The cold storage is managed by the group's logistics company, which was merged into the agriculture and animal husbandry development division that Guan Xuelie was responsible for during the last adjustment.

Therefore, Guan Xue is listed in management.

Guan Xuelia did not disappoint Wu Siyuan.

When Wu Siyuan asked him, he opened his mouth and came up with the data, "After several years of continuous construction and acquisition, our group currently has more than 30 Class A cold storages, more than 200 Class B cold storages, and one thousand Class C cold storages. Five hundred of them are scattered in the southeast, northwest and across the country, initially forming a nationwide cold chain logistics storage network system."

When Guan Xueliao said this, his heart was trembling.

Cold storage construction and cold chain construction are industries with large investment.

Class A cold storage requires an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters. Just building such a cold storage requires an investment of tens of millions.

More than thirty Class A cold storages cost hundreds of millions or even billions.

Not to mention other types of cold storage.

This is not a cold storage, these are gold sales caves!

Few companies have such great courage and spend so much real money to build these cold storages.

But among other things, when the cold chain logistics storage network system is successfully established, it will play an increasingly important role in the expansion of [Chaoqun Group] across the country!

It is because of the existence of this network that [Shen Nong Orchard] and [Xiao Xian Rou] were able to successfully go out of South China and radiate across the country.
