With the cooperative business on track and no longer needing Tang Xiaoxiao to worry about it, her aquaculture business also saw its first income.
In early March, the first batch of broiler chickens were ready for market at the farm.
Because they were fed specially formulated nutritional feed made from raw materials sourced by Tang Xiaoxiao from her space, not a single hen fell ill in the two months that followed. They all grew plump and strong, each weighing over ten pounds, with incredibly tender and delicious meat. The hens kept for breeding laid a maximum of three eggs each, with most laying two; almost none laid one egg a day.
Even the experienced breeders in charge of raising the animals were amazed, saying they had never seen anything like it before.
With a sales department and Han Yunqi's help with promotion, Tang Xiaoxiao no longer needed to worry too much about selling the chicken. Because "Xiaoxiao Premium Fruits and Vegetables" was already a well-known name in City A, the chicken products bearing the same "Xiaoxiao" brand were unexpectedly successful when they were first marketed. Many individual businesses and large supermarkets in City A and its three subordinate county-level cities placed orders without hesitation after learning that "Sheng Tang Chicken Products" and "Xiaoxiao Premium Fruits and Vegetables" were from the same company.
"Sheng Tang"—look at that name! Giving such a name to its meat processing subsidiary shows how ambitious the parent company is!
Many merchants were thinking to themselves, but no one spoke out in mockery.
In fact, they had witnessed firsthand the daily crowds at the premium fruit and vegetable stores, but unfortunately, these stores only sold their produce in their own three locations. They had no way to source the goods and could only watch enviously as these stores made a fortune.
Now they've even launched frozen meat products, although they're still very expensive. Other brands' 10-pound bags of chicken legs will increase with market prices, but they'll only stay around 60 or 70 yuan. "Sheng Tang" costs over 100 yuan a bag, and we don't know what the quality is like or how the market response will be.
But none of this stopped them from ordering a few boxes to test the waters, especially since the salesperson promised to buy them back unconditionally if they didn't sell after a certain period of time.
That way there's almost no risk involved; only a fool wouldn't do it!
It turns out that Xiaoxiao's products are always of high quality. Each pound of meat is only a few yuan more expensive than the market price, but many people still feel that the price is justified. They don't mind spending a little more money to buy good things, especially families with elderly people and children, who will often buy a pound or two to try.
Good things are not afraid of being buried; once people have tasted them, they will try them a second time, or even countless times.
In just two months, the frozen chicken products made from the first batch of 30,000 chickens from the cold storage, including separately packaged offal such as chicken hearts and livers, were almost completely sold out.
Chickens are truly a treasure trove of resources. Not a single part is wasted.
The second batch of chickens was also urgently replenished, and the scale of the farm has expanded to 100,000 chickens.
With their first victory secured, the entire company was jubilant. Tang Xiaoxiao generously gave each employee double their salary as a reward for their hard work during this period.
The pigs at the pig farm will be ready for slaughter in about two more months. During this time, Tang Xiaoxiao assigned Han Yunqi a task: to develop markets in various cities in L Province. Whether it's chicken or pork, distribution channels need to be established. She also asked him to find a suitable location in the suburbs of D City, where the first branch of "Xiaoxiao Ecological Agriculture Technology Development Company" may be established soon.
Tang Xiaoxiao's own company's sales staff are paid commission based on sales volume, so she naturally wouldn't treat Han Yunqi unfairly either. She entrusted him with market development and transportation, and gave him 30% of the net profit directly. Although Han Yunqi wanted to say that he didn't need to give him so much, Tang Xiaoxiao shut him down with the words, "Company cooperation doesn't involve personal feelings."
