Chapter 5 Shuffle Begins
"Hello, I am Wang Quan, who is a pig by-product in Zhongyuan. I made an appointment to visit you a few days ago. I have to interrupt the visiting itinerary due to special reasons. I hope you can forgive me. I sincerely suggest that you prepare a lot of stock recently in case of any out of time."
People who saw this text message had different reactions.
Some people ignore it, some people doubt it, and some people think deeply.
...
On August 14, a pig died in an inexplicable death in a slaughterhouse in the Central Plains Province. On August 16, he was diagnosed with African swine fever and issued an order to block the African swine fever epidemic area.
On August 15, pigs inexplicably died in the jurisdiction of Liangang City, Jiang Province. African swine fever was diagnosed on August 19. More than 14,000 pigs in the epidemic area were harmlessly culled.
On August 17, a pig died inexplicably in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, and was diagnosed with African swine fever on August 22.
...
Congjiang Province announced that the outbreak had begun, and Wang Quan received several calls.
After listening to Wang Quan's suggestion, Yang Dejun increased the delivery volume by 30%. Because of the outbreak in Jiang Province, the price of by-products rose by nearly 150 cents in a short period of time. While calling to express his gratitude, he also indirectly asked Wang Quan if it was related and could get the news in advance.
Three other phone calls to ask why Wang Quan knew the news in advance, and they also speculated that Wang Quan had a relationship and expressed their intention to cooperate.
Wang Quan sent out a total of 11 prompt text messages, half of the customers chose to cooperate, and the other half expressed their chance to cooperate in the future.
As for the two major customers in Hangzhou, there was no response.
Despite this, there are more than ten clients who have cooperated with Wang Quan.
...
As Wang Quan remembers, in a short period of time, epidemics occurred in many places in China, and for a time, African swine fever became a topic of concern to the people across the country.
More and more places are in epidemic situations, with slaughtered more and more exponentially increasing, pig prices falling daily, but the prices of white pork and by-products are growing slowly, and the market has experienced pathological counter-growth.
The pig byproduct boss with a keen sense of smell set off overnight to find customers, and more by-product contractors who did not respond were looking at more and more backlogs of products, scratching their scalp, and forced them to deal with the products in their hands at a low price, giving professional transfers a living space.
Lin Dong himself is a contractor. Although he does not have a large factory, he also knows many colleagues. At this time, Wang Quan used his limited time to transport more goods because he had high-quality customers and a huge transfer volume, which invisibly helped the big contractors.
The shipment volume in just ten days exceeded Lin Dong's previous month's shipment volume. For this reason, Lin Dong specially purchased two single-row trucks specifically for transferring goods. Lin Dong, the boss, even took the initiative in person.
Wang Quan initially used the identity of Lin Dong's brothers to transfer goods. After more contact, some careful people found that it was Wang Quan who really mastered customer resources.
More and more contractors have known or heard of Wang Quan's name, and the number of contacts on Wang Quan's by-products on his mobile phone is increasing day by day.
After working for half a month, this rapid pace began to slow down. Many by-product contractors are developing new customers. With the increase in channels, fewer products can be processed at low prices.
At the end of August.
The slaughtering volume has been rising. Lin Dong’s three small venues used to kill at most 1,000 heads a day together, but now one venue can kill more than 1,000 heads a day.
Lin Dong could only give up his plan to go out to transfer goods, and honestly recruit workers to ensure the smooth operation of his own place.
After the initial panic, the market returned to health and after sufficient supply, the price of pig by-products began to fall.
It was also at this time that the industry reshuffle quietly began.
The slaughterhouse is running overloaded, the price of live pigs falls, the price of white pork falls, and the price of pig by-products falls. When all products are falling, the labor wages rise, especially for employees who can operate skillfully, the increase is close to 30%.
Because the product prices fell, the things that were originally eaten once every three days can now be eaten every day, and the market demand soared rapidly.
The contractors who had originally expected small profits and quick turnover suddenly discovered that sales volume increased, but the profits were gone, and many contractors even lost money and made a lot of publicity.
It is acceptable to lose money in a day or two, but the market continues to fall. Who can lose money in the whole month?
Are all contractors losing money?
Not.
Product differentiation exists no matter when.
The prices of high-quality products and ordinary products are naturally different. If you learn from them, customers who dare to buy high-quality products are afraid that they cannot sell them? Or can they not sell them at a good price?
Therefore, the importance of high-quality customers has become prominent.
Also, products such as large intestine, pig belly, brain flower, pig trotters and pig heads that will not affect the price, and the contractor will not lose money.
Coincidentally, Wang Quan does not lack high-quality customers.
The customers he chose to visit were all high-quality customers he had heard of in his previous life or had cooperated with, otherwise he would not have only one or two customers in one region.
You should know that there are more than five or six companies in any region, or even more than a dozen wholesalers in this industry.
As September comes, the epidemic is getting worse, and more and more farms sell pigs in large quantities, making the market worse.
...
Here, I want to emphasize one thing.
The contractor of pig by-products seems to have contracted from a slaughterhouse, but it is not the case on the surface.
Slaughterhouses rely on white pork to make money, and their slaughtering volume is also formulated based on the market's demand for white pork. When pork is cheaper, the people naturally eat more, and the demand increases, so the slaughterhouses keep killing pigs.
Let me ask, when meat is cheaper than pigs to go into water, which one would you choose?
The slaughtering volume continues to grow, but the sales of by-products are very stable, and contradictions arise.
To put it bluntly, the slaughterhouse and the contractor are the opposite.
The slaughterhouse does not care about the life or death of the contractor, but only kills pigs and sells meat.
A capable contractor can only grit his teeth and look forward to the market turning around.
A weak contractor will either fight to the death or withdraw its capital or leave it.
Those who transfer goods will never get up early without profit. The problem of how much you make, you will never lose money.
...
After finishing his day's work, Wang Quan no longer had any extra effort.
Lying on the bed, my mind was spinning rapidly.
Starting from Yang Dejun's delivery, Wang Quan now has fourteen stable customers in one month, and his daily shipment volume remains at about ten tons.
He was not busy with more than ten tons of goods alone. Lin Dong also lent him another single-row car and arranged drivers and workers for him, but Wang Quan had to pay the salary himself.
Some products make money, some products don’t make money, and there are even a few single items that lose money.
Losing money is a last resort.
Customers with large quantities need more varieties when submitting goods. If they only give them money-making products and don’t give them money-making products, this is undoubtedly pushing the customer out. Over time, customers will find it troublesome and have a high possibility of losing the customer.
Even so, Wang Quan still made a lot of money, and he couldn't even believe that he had earned more than 100,000 yuan in less than a month, most of which were made during the period when the epidemic broke out.
I can't believe it, but he also knew that those big contractors could even earn 200,000 in a week when they encountered a good market.
As for those who specialize in frozen products, Wang Quan doesn’t want to guess.
He met in his previous life.
A frozen product boss who specializes in making pig tongues, commonly known as mouth strips.
He spent 12 months buying goods for eleven months, and sold goods for the rest of the month.
To be honest, he only does business for one month a year and makes a profit of several million. He can be described as a three-year investment.
Both pig by-products, fresh products and frozen products are two concepts.
At this time, Wang Quan did not dare to expect frozen food at all. It was too expensive to afford it.
"well."
