Chapter 1 I Want to Sell Meat
The true big boss, in collaboration with large groups like Sanhui, although the contracted prices are relatively high, ensures a stable and sufficient supply of goods. At the same time, it does not hinder them from contracting private slaughterhouses. They possess funds that are unimaginable to ordinary people, a skilled production team, and a large number of high-quality clients
Certainly, along with opportunities, there inevitably come significant risks
At this moment, Wang Quan's gaze became resolute. Having worked in various jobs, he firmly believed that this was an opportunity bestowed upon him by fate
He picked up the cheap smartphone beside him, glanced at the time, and a twitch appeared at the corner of Wang Quan's mouth
In my memory, Lin Dong mentioned that his business experienced a surge after October 2018. That year, African swine fever broke out, and dozens of provinces across the country were designated as epidemic areas. Following the issuance of orders prohibiting the transportation of live pigs from epidemic areas and surrounding provinces, farms, fearing the impact of the epidemic, hastily sold off their stock of live pigs
Graduated from a junior college, a salesperson at a large corporation, with comprehensive benefits and a salary that is enviable, Wang Quan could not understand his cousin's actions until his cousin bought a house in one year and a car in two years. After that, Wang Quan officially became an employee of Lin Dong
... ...
In 2018, Wang Quan was still a security guard at a certain residential community
One year later, Wang Quan purchased a house and a car. The house was bought with a down payment, and the car had a support of 50,000 from Lin Dong
Having witnessed Lin Dong's daily profit of over 1,000, Wang Quan chose the latter without a second thought
Lin Dong previously worked in business at Sanhui Group, and after a few years, he ventured out on his own, focusing solely on pig by-products. To put it plainly, he sells pig offal. [Pig by-products: everything except for the whole pork.]
Discarding the cigarette butt, Wang Quan had an idea in his mind
Beep ... ... Beep ... ... Beep
Slaughtering is prohibited in epidemic areas; pork and by-products can only be purchased from non-epidemic areas. The demand has doubled, allowing the owners in non-epidemic areas to profit immensely
Wang Quan has a cousin named Lin Dong
Car accident, darkness
In 2018, Lin Dong's business was neither thriving nor failing
The phone rang for a short while before being answered
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Wang Quan took out the notebook he had prepared in the afternoon from the drawer, took out his phone, thought for a moment, and began to dial.
The consequences of the centralized slaughtering of a large number of pigs are evident: pig prices decline, meat prices decrease, and the prices of by-products naturally follow suit. However, what comes along with this is a greater opportunity
Wang Quan has been reborn, having returned to just two years ago, and in fact, it is not even a full two years.
Hello, who is this
In simple terms, the principle that channels are king remains unchanged throughout the ages, regardless of the time.
In Zhongyuan Province, every slaughterhouse with the necessary qualifications operates at full capacity, with machines running continuously. Whether it is a slaughterhouse or a subcontractor dealing with pig by-products, the owners can only hire a large number of workers. It was during this time that Wang Quan worked alongside Lin Dong.
Many images and numbers flashed through my mind until the cigarette burned out, leaving my hand scorched
In a previous life, the two individuals had compatible temperaments, and it could be said that they were like old friends upon first meeting
Either go out and find clients yourself, with Lin Dong providing the goods, and your earnings will depend on your own abilities
Receiving goods in the evening, selling in the morning, and taking a nap in the afternoon is the regular schedule
In a previous life, Lin Dong belonged to the weaker category of the second type of boss, while Wang Quan could be considered as belonging to the last category
Hello, Uncle Yang, my name is Wang Quan, and I am involved in the production of pig by-products in Zhongyuan Province
After working with Lin Dong for more than half a year and mastering various skills, Lin Dong presented Wang Quan with two options
After taking a shower in the bathroom, I changed into my security uniform, preparing to start my shift. The purpose is quite simple: to stand my last post properly and then resign
August 10, 2018
Either continue working with Lin Dong, with a salary rising to 5,000 per month, which is approximately 1,000 more than the average salary in the urban area
It was also in this year that a clear distinction in grades emerged within the pig by-products industry
A slight sweat made the body feel damp and uncomfortable. He picked up the cool boiled water from the table and gulped down more than half a cup in one go, and Wang Quan couldn't help but sigh.
Lighting a cigarette, Wang Quan's eyes flickered
Even a lot of the information within the industry was provided to Wang Quan by Uncle Yang, which greatly assisted Wang Quan
Reborn
This way of life continued until my cousin took him away, which brought about a change
Wang Quan's workplace is considered to be of mid to high-end standard within the city. At 6 PM, Wang Quan expressed his intention to resign to the team leader, who did not attempt to persuade him to stay, merely nodded and left.
Wang Quan is an ordinary person to the utmost degree. From elementary school to high school, he has always been inconspicuous, with an average appearance, average grades, and a calm personality. He has never had any shining points that would make his parents show a proud expression when mentioning him.
April 2020
The most basic level of boss does not contract slaughterhouses, but instead travels around seeking cheap sources, then sells to other provinces to profit from the price difference, in simple terms, it is just about reallocating goods and engaging in speculative trading
These are all resources that cannot be purchased with money
This line is somewhat special
Setting off again in the newly purchased Ford sedan towards the client's location, an accident occurred. After the darkness, the scene before unfolded
Once again, the primary boss contracts one or two small slaughterhouses, killing several hundred pigs each day, supporting a few or even a dozen employees under his command, and the profits earned throughout the year are quite considerable, significantly better than working for someone else
In the second half of 2018, it was common to see venue owners traveling across the country in search of clients
The old-fashioned ceiling fan spun rapidly, stirring up gusts of hot air. Wang Quan sat on the bamboo bed beneath the fan, his brow furrowed, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes
Wang Quan, a native of the Central Plains, lives in the urban-rural fringe of a small prefecture-level city. It is said that this place once held the title of an inland economic special zone. Here, there is the largest meat processing base in Asia, as well as a nationally renowned red village
At 8 o'clock, most customers have woken up and had their fill, waiting to receive their goods, which can be considered one of the few leisurely moments of the day
The last type of boss primarily depends on luck for earning more or less
Wang Quan's job is quite simple; when there are no unexpected situations, he just needs to sit in the security room and maintain appearances
In his previous life, Wang Quan had clients who approached him on their own and was also aware of Lin Dong's client contact information. It is said that he knew the contact details of about 70 to 80 percent of the distributors in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, and could recite them fluently.
A slightly capable boss, who contracts a daily slaughter volume of two to three thousand live pigs, also possesses a production team and substantial capital. The distinction lies in the fact that you have contracted several facilities with a capacity exceeding one thousand heads.
The summer heat is intense, and the sweltering heat is unbearable
In this day and age, there is a shortage of everything, except for people willing to work
Open your eyes, old house
Lin Dong's clients are primarily distributed in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, and almost all the well-known cities in this area have Lin Dong's clients. To avoid conflicts, Wang Quan can only choose those smaller cities. Of course, in order to avoid back-and-forth during shipping, he similarly chooses cities within Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.
Hearing a familiar voice, Wang Quan revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth
The first contact is Mr. Yang, the best associate of Wang Quan in his previous life, who is in his fifties. He has been in this industry for over ten years, truly a seasoned veteran.
After graduating from high school, I entered society and have worked in factories and construction sites, and I also worked as a driver for a period of time, living a life that barely sustains me without starving.
I have heard Lin Dong mention that some venue owners have lost over one million in a month. The sudden increase in slaughter volume has caught many off guard, as the sales channels are unable to absorb the production capacity, resulting in a large quantity of goods being turned into frozen products, leading to a depreciation in value or being sold at a low price
Businesspeople do not put all their eggs in one basket. This is even more true in this industry; regardless of the level of the distributor, they will not easily lock themselves into a single supply channel. They may not purchase your goods, but they will certainly not easily offend a supplier, even if you are the lowest-level goods distributor.
