That's how it is when negotiating prices. No matter how much the other person offers, you have to keep haggling. Otherwise, the person who doesn't offer a price will feel like they've lost out and will feel resentful.
"Isn't it a bit too high?" Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile.
"Boss Wang, this price isn't too high. After all, I need to hire thirty or forty people and start up some equipment, and diesel fuel and such will cost money. You can rest assured about the quality of my work, and as for the price, this is really not an exorbitant offer."
"Look, there's no such thing as a fixed price in business. You quoted 12,000, and I said I'd lower the price, but you can't just say it's too low. Even if you're trying to comfort me, you should at least try to soothe my feelings."
“Boss Wang, you’re a big shot, so don’t be so stingy with me over every penny. We’re just doing our jobs, and I’m not exaggerating… Hey, how about this? Since you’ve said so, it would be unfair of me not to give you any discount. How about 11,000? I’ll give you a 1,000 discount.”
What do you think of integers?
"A whole number, you mean ten thousand?"
"Hmm, ten thousand."
"No, no, that's too little. I won't earn much money; it'll be like working for nothing."
"Old Liu, you see, when it comes to business, you have to take it slow and steady. Money isn't something you can earn all at once, right? I guarantee our future cooperation will go far beyond this, so let's not worry about this."
"I really can't go any lower. To be honest, Mr. Wang, I've carefully calculated the amount of work before agreeing to this price. If it goes any lower, I'll be working for free, which is definitely not acceptable."
"Haha, that really can't be any less."
"It really won't work."
Seeing his determination, Wang Tianxiao decided not to tease him any further.
"Alright, let's do it your way. But I require you to prepare a construction plan for me first, according to my ideas. We can only start construction if there are no problems. Is that okay?"
“Okay, with such a large workload, we definitely need to plan it out.” Liu Mang nodded.
The two then chatted for a while about the details.
During their conversation, Wang Tianxiao kept observing Liu Mang, wondering how to incorporate this man into his plan. It seemed it wouldn't be easy.
.
"Lili, I'm going, are you sure you don't want to come?"
After having an early breakfast, Wang Tianxiao prepared to set off for his mother-in-law's house.
The sheepfold at my mother-in-law's house has been completed for some time, and after nearly a month of drying, the sheep can now enter.
The family originally had more than a dozen sheep, both male and female.
According to my parents-in-law, if we want to buy more, we should buy another thirty or so female sheep.
We don't need too many rams; they're useless anyway.
The breeding industry relies on reproduction to increase income, so there are generally more females than males.
Just leave a few males to keep the flock active.
If all the sheep are ewes, the flock will become lifeless and lose the possibility of reproduction.
But Wang Tianxiao didn't want to just bring back sheep.
He had already planned to raise goats and sheep together.
Those who have experience raising sheep in later generations know that sheep are more cost-effective than goats.
Taking the small-tailed Han sheep, which is common in Northwest China, as an example, it not only grows fast and is large in size, but also has a long estrus period and can give birth to two litters a year.
The economic benefits are fantastic.
The main source of profit for sheep is their wool. Adult sheep can be sheared about three times a year, which is quite profitable.
Moreover, sheep are easier to feed and more resilient than goats.
In comparison, goats are much less cost-effective.
Moreover, the only profitable sources for goats are goat milk and mutton.
To make money from goats, which are a one-off business, it's essential to focus on increasing their milk production, rather than just selling mutton.
Therefore, most farmers raise sheep, which are usually mutton sheep.
However, Wang Tianxiao planned to raise both goats and sheep, roughly half and half each.
He wants to gradually develop both wool and goat milk.
Whether it's wool or goat milk that has a problem, you can hedge against the risk.
More importantly, he wanted to try developing the dairy industry, a new sector.
He has always set his sights on agriculture, with animal husbandry being the main part of agriculture, and dairy products being an indispensable part of animal husbandry.
Producing only wool is too monotonous.
The dairy industry mainly produces cow's milk, with goat's milk as a supplement, because goat's milk has many inherent production disadvantages compared to cow's milk.
Firstly, goat milk is not as easy to store as cow milk; it spoils more easily. However, if it were sterilized at high temperatures like cow milk, its structure would be damaged, leading to nutrient loss. Therefore, the processing cost of goat milk is much higher than that of cow milk.
Secondly, goat milk production is not as stable as cow milk production.
A dairy goat produces less than one-tenth the amount of milk a cow produces per day, so the amount that can be produced is completely disproportionate to the number of goats that can be raised.
In addition, the number of dairy goats is relatively small compared to dairy cows, so the market has not been fully opened up, resulting in this milk being a small-scale consumer product and a niche market.
A smaller consumer base naturally leads to fewer producers, less R&D spending, and fewer products, which in turn affects the market.
In later generations, with the continuous improvement of biotechnology and the popularization of knowledge, people gradually learned about the benefits of goat milk, and goat milk gradually became popular.
However, due to the high production costs, the price is relatively high, making it something that ordinary people cannot afford to enjoy for a long time.
Wang Tianxiao knew this knowledge, but his idea was to provide fresh milk to everyone in every city, and even every village.
People in Northwest China often suffer from stomach problems because they didn't have healthy eating habits in the past.
