Chapter 123: Raising Pigs

The dinner didn't end until after 8:00 p.m. Jia Yuanshan winked at Han Songlin, then smiled as he led his wife and child away. Han Songlin couldn't help smiling. Earlier, after Bai Hongyan had expressed her position, Jia Yuanshan had actively expressed his support.

He even said that if no one else was interested, the debt could be transferred to CCB.

Liu Yuyan asked hesitantly, 'Did it work out?'

'It probably did!' Han Songlin said with a smile, looking down at Han Ting and unable to help but pick up the little one in his arms.

In a couple of years' time, he won't be able to pick her up even if he wants to!

By then, Han Ting will be a big kid and won't want to be picked up!

'The winery is so profitable now, and in a few years' time, we'll be able to pay it all back. Why bother with debt-to-equity swaps?'

Han Songlin put his arm around Liu Yuyan's waist as they walked down the slightly dim street, a smile on his lips. 'You have to give up something to gain something! It's true that many people attach great importance to shares, thinking that if there are other people's shares in the company, the company will no longer belong entirely to them. But I'm different. What I value more is control over resources.'

As for money, Han Songlin could say that he likes money, but doesn't really value it.

He likes money because he needs it to help him achieve what he wants; he doesn't value it because he has now moved beyond the stage of simply pursuing money.

Once you have it, naturally you don't value it.

This is a very normal psychological manifestation of a person.

'Moreover, if all the money earned in the past few years is used to pay off debts, then it means that for several years, we won't be able to do anything.'

It will soon be 1994, and this summer of the liquor industry will end in a few years, and it will enter the winter season in 1998.

Since we already know that we are going to winter, isn't it silly not to prepare food for the winter and warm clothing?

Sometimes, Han Songlin feels that knowing too much is not a good thing.

Liu Yuyan suddenly stopped, looked up at Han Songlin, and said seriously, 'Are you going to do something again?'

'What's with that look? It's like I'm about to do something bad!' Han Songlin couldn't help but pinch Liu Yuyan's cheek with his fingertips. It was really a bit much.

'You haven't even told me yet!'

'Okay, I might as well tell you. I suddenly thought of something that doesn't require a high level of skill but is quite profitable.'

Not getting involved in industries that you are not familiar with is something that many companies try to avoid.

Throughout the history of world business, there have been very few companies that have succeeded in developing businesses across industries!

And there are even fewer people who have succeeded in developing businesses across industries.

Of course, there is one person who is quite good at it, the American iron man Elon Musk.

He has achieved success in many fields, including online payments, electric vehicles and outer space exploration.

Liu Yuyan took Han Songlin's arm and asked curiously, 'It doesn't need to be highly technical and is relatively profitable. Feeding pigs?

Han Songlin almost tripped over a brick on the street. How could he look down on feeding pigs? How could feeding pigs not be technical?

'Where did you see that feeding pigs is not technical?'

'Feeding pigs requires skills? Isn't it a very simple thing?' Liu Yuyan asked in surprise. Feeding pigs is a necessary skill for every farmer in the countryside.

That said, the taste of pigs raised in the countryside nowadays is indeed better than the taste of pigs raised in pig farms in the future.

This statement seems to suggest that feeding pigs does not require any skill, because if it is a skill that everyone can do, is it still considered a skill?

Of course, this is feeding pigs at home, and if you are generally careful, there should not be any problems.

However, one cannot be too absolute about this. Han Songlin seems to remember that they have also lost piglets when feeding pigs at home.

'Let's not talk about this. Anyway, what I need to do is not to feed pigs,'

Liu Yuyan said strangely, 'Xu Lu called a few days ago and said she was going to choose a place in the music garden to build a pig farm.'

If it wasn't for this, why would Liu Yuyan guess that Han Songlin wanted to raise pigs?

Raising pigs is a way to make some money!

Now basically every household in the countryside raises pigs, and a pig can sell for a thousand or so yuan, which is a lot of money for a rural family.

If you raise two pigs a year, you'll make a profit, excluding the cost of the piglets.

To feed the pigs, they usually grow their own corn and sweet potato vines, and pull some wild boar grass.

The cost of feeding is not much, it's just the labour.

In the countryside, apart from farming, if you don't raise pigs, you won't find other work to do, so the labour cost is almost nothing.

'Wait, build a pig farm?' Han Songlin didn't know what to say, is he really going to become a pig tycoon in the future?

Pig farming also has a bright future.

The top two richest people in Shuchuan are both pig-related.

Is he going to become the third?

Liu Yuyan asked doubtfully, 'Don't you know?'

But in her heart, she wondered if Xu Lu had not obtained Han Songlin's consent.

If so, what was the current situation of Han's marinated food?

Han Songlin weighed Han Ting in his hands, and the child seemed to be falling.

'I know about this matter. I mentioned it to Xu Lu when I was in Yuzhou last time, and I didn't expect her to act so quickly!' Han Songlin was indeed a little surprised that Xu Lu was so efficient.

It's only been a short time.

She has already taken the project to the stage of on-site investigation.

It's not impossible for Yuechi to build a pig farm.

Han Songlin remembered that Yuechi had actually built a large pig farm in the future. It seems that the annual slaughter reached 400,000 heads.

That's a bit scary.

Anyway, before Han Songlin was reborn, this project had not yet been completely finalised.

There was another advantage to building the pig farm in Yuechi, and that was that there would be a place for the lees from Fule Brewery.

It was certain that the lees could be used to raise pigs.

However, the pigs could not be raised on lees alone, as they would not be able to tolerate it.

Generally speaking, the lees were mixed with feed, and no more than 20% of the feed was lees.

Pig manure can be used to ferment biogas in a biogas digester, and the fermented material can then be used for planting.

It seems that not many pig farms will be engaging in pig manure fermentation in the future.

Make it into biofertiliser?

Biofertiliser is quite a popular concept in the future, and there is a big demand for it in Europe.

The meat of pigs is eaten by people, and the resulting manure is returned to the land as agricultural fertiliser.

This seems like a pretty good thing, and it perfectly forms an ecological closed loop.

Thinking about this, Han Songlin really looks forward to the pig farm being built.

By the way, there must be a strict epidemic prevention system in place in the pig farm.

For example, in Denmark's Crown Pig Farm, if you want to enter someone's pig farm for a visit, you must first undergo a period of isolation before you can enter.

And after entering, you have to wear a protective suit, for fear of bringing any viruses into the pig farm.

There is no way this can be done in China now, and no one is allowed to just walk in, that's for sure.

Also, there has to be a dedicated veterinarian on hand at all times.

In the countryside, after the veterinarian gives the pig a shot, the needle is not discarded.

So, after these needles are taken back, are they disinfected before being reused?
