"Oh, Shujie, why are you so polite?" Cao Jianlong didn't expect that Cao Shujie would give him something as soon as they met.

But he didn't refuse and picked up a bag to look at carefully.

It looks like a yellow kraft paper bag with a transparent front and middle section, and you can see the beef jerky strips inside.

The beef jerky turned maroon red, with clearly visible meat texture, no gluten and no oil. Cao Jianlong was very appetizing just looking at it. He even wanted to tear open the package and eat one to taste what it tasted like.

"Isn't this cheap?" he asked Cao Shujie.

Pushing the electric car with Cao Shujie, he entered the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound, parked the electric car, and walked towards the office together.

"Uncle Long, these are all gifts from friends over there." Cao Shujie said.

These beef jerky are really installed by Adilijiang and others.

Cao Jianlong still remembered that Cao Shujie did have some friends from ethnic minorities. The year Adilijiang and others came, Cao Jianlong also met them in the orchard on the mountain.

"Is this the friend who came here on Labor Day last year?" he asked.

Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Cao Jianlong didn't ask anything else.

"Let me thank you in advance on behalf of your aunt." Cao Jianlong pointed at the beef jerky and said.

But Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Why are you so polite?"

After entering the office and sitting down, Cao Jianlong told Cao Shujie about the cattle dealer he, Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian were looking for together.

"They are not from our local area, but the scale of the operation of these two people is quite large, even bigger than Boss Feng's farm we visited last time. Let's go over and take a look when we have time." Cao Jianlong asked him

.

"If it works, we'll make a decision. If it doesn't, we'll keep looking."

Cao Shujie thought for a while and said, "Why don't we do it today."

He went to the factory yesterday, but nothing happened.

The apples I just bought haven't been weighed and shipped yet, so why not take advantage of the fact that I'm not busy and finish the work on the calves as soon as possible.

"Uncle Long, I have always forgotten to ask, how many calves do I need to buy this time? Are the two farms enough now?" Cao Shujie finally remembered this matter.

Cao Jianlong told him: "After counting, we have to buy a total of 6,359 heads. I guess it is not enough."

"Why so many?" Cao Shujie asked.

This number has increased four times from the previous time.

The actual situation is not just as simple as a four-fold increase in numbers. The feed supply, pasture, personnel, and equipment involved must also increase accordingly.

The most important thing is that there is not that much money.

It doesn't mean that after you pay for the calf, you don't have to worry about the rest.

There is no money for the feed, pasture, roughage, corn, bean cakes, etc., including the money for medicine and injections for the cattle.

How much does it cost to feed more than 6,000 cows?

Once you do the math, you will know that this is an astronomical number.

Don't forget that when the villagers heard his boasting at that time, their hearts were filled with excitement, and they all surged up.

Cao Jianlong felt funny when he saw Cao Shujie's embarrassed look.

He teased Cao Shujie: "You also have times when you worry. I thought there was nothing that could make you worry."

"Uncle Long, it will be very tiring to do so much at once," Cao Shujie said.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jianlong nodded, but the expression on his face became serious: "I also know that it is very tiring, but the problem is that making money is not tiring."

"Shujie, the folks in our village are a little tired now, but they are very satisfied if they can make money."

"It's not like before, with my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky, but I'm as tired as a dead dog every day and I don't make any money. That's sad."

"Go out and ask, whether it's from our Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, or Taodong Village, who dares to say that he's afraid of being tired, and see if I don't tear his bad mouth apart?"

Cao Shujie rubbed his eyebrows, never expecting that his words would lead Cao Jianlong to say such simple truth.

"Uncle Long, I didn't say anything. As long as you don't complain about being tired, it's okay. As for the money, it's easy to solve it. Tell the feed seller to take part of it on credit first and pay it back after the cattle are sold." Cao Shujie said.

"If they don't agree, we will find another feed factory. With more than 6,000 cows a year, how much feed will be consumed?" Cao Shujie gave Cao Jianlong advice.

In fact, the villagers have included this amount in their accounts. Everyone wants to ask the experts from the three villages to calculate how much the various costs will cost, and they will pay for it themselves.

But when Cao Shujie said this, Cao Jianlong thought it was a good idea. He didn't have to give all of it, he could just give part of it first and settle the rest at the end.

"I'll tell the feed seller later." Cao Jianlong agreed.

"We still need to build a breeding farm. The two we have now are simply not enough. Too high a breeding density is not a good thing." Cao Shujie reminded him.

Theoretically speaking, there is no problem with the current two farms raising 1,500 cattle each.

So they still need to find two more such large places to build breeding farms.

Cao Jianlong also nodded: "You don't have to worry about this little thing. Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian and I have talked about creating two more areas from the three villages. This is a matter for our three villages. We can't leave it to Caojiazhuang."

Come and bear it.”

"OK!"

Cao Shujie felt that compared with last year, Cao Jianlong was also changing.

In the past, Cao Jianlong would ask for his opinion on some trivial matters.

But not anymore.

For ordinary matters, Cao Jianlong makes his own decisions.

Or once the three of them discussed it, the matter was settled. Cao Shujie no longer had to do everything personally, and he felt much more relaxed.

Cao Jianlong also talked about one thing: "Shujie, although your family and Jianguo brothers did not invest in Zhongcheng Breeding Farm, the three of us put it together and convened two village committee meetings in three villages to review and approve it.

After meeting with all the villagers, we decided to give you a share of the shares in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative."

"..."

what the hell is this?

Cao Shujie has his own breeding farm, his own orchard, and his own factory, so when Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative bought shares and solidified the shares, he did not participate, nor did he let his parents participate.

Who knows there are people rushing to give away shares?

Cao Jianlong said: "Shujie, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say."

"The Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative can be established and make money, and it's all because of you. Do you admit this?"

Cao Shujie nodded, there was nothing he couldn't admit.

Cao Jianlong said with a smile: "Just admit it."

"Without you, Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative would not have been established. Without you, most of the young and middle-aged laborers in our three villages would still be working outside to earn money, while the orphans, widows, old and young would stay at home, unlike now where they can't do much work all year round.

, we can wait at home to share the money. We love money, but we also know how to repay kindness."

"Don't worry, Shujie, the matter of dividing your shares is not just our intention, but also the intention of the people in the three villages."

Cao Shujie looked at Cao Jianlong and was silent for a moment.

Cao Jianlong continued: "Actually, the shares given to you are not many, only 2%, and you can't get much money all year round. Compared with the money you earn in orchards, farms, and factories, it's nothing.

Such a meaning is shared by everyone."

"Uncle Long, you guys have to tie me together!"

Cao Shujie made it clear.

"Even without these shares, I would be the same as before..."

But before Cao Shujie could finish speaking, Cao Jianlong interrupted him again: "Shujie, I know what you are like, but no one should pay in vain. Shujie, are you right?"

Seeing that Cao Shujie did not answer, Cao Jianlong was not angry. He continued: "If nothing else, the current changes in our Caojiazhuang are due to you, Cao Shujie, in every policy. Who dares to kill you casually?"

Thanks for the credit, I buried him alive myself."

"Shujie, you have to take this share whether you want it or not. In one sentence, you deserve it!" Cao Jianlong didn't give Cao Shujie a chance to tell the difference.

He said: "This time we will also learn those new things and get a share certificate for Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative. After all the procedures are completed, we will issue it to you at that time. You also said that after the shares are finalized this time

If you don’t change it, you can pass it on from generation to generation!”

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Cao Shujie looked at Cao Jianlong, and in Cao Jianlong's calm eyes, he finally nodded and accepted the 2% shares.

Not much indeed, but not much either.

And as long as he is willing, this share can be sold.

He also believed that someone would pay a high price to buy it.

Even if he doesn't sell it, the annual dividends are still a lot of money.

Based on this year’s net profit dividend of 8.4 million yuan, it is also 168,000 yuan.

"Wisdom is priceless!" Cao Shujie sighed in his heart.
