From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 101: I’m the Man Who Will Be the King of Sheep

Become the King of Sheep Village!

"How many herding districts are there in the Wuzhumuqin Grassland now?"

"There are tons of herding districts. In our Dongwu Banner alone, there are over forty districts, big and small, with a total of more than forty thousand herdsmen. The larger-scale herdsmen raise several thousand sheep, while even the smallest have a few hundred! The number of sheep sent to market from Dongwu Banner each year reaches a staggering five hundred thousand!" A look of pride crept onto Ji Wan’s face as he spoke.

The main reason was that Ji Wan’s family were the largest private herders in Dongwu Banner. Their annual market output was nearly five thousand Wuzhumuqin sheep, with an annual income of over twenty million!

For various reasons, the current sale price for lamb from the Wuzhumuqin Grassland was only around 80 yuan per half-kilo. To put that in perspective, at a top-tier hot pot restaurant like Xiyuan Residence in the Imperial Capital, the leg of a young Wuzhumuqin lamb was sold by the gram, at a price comparable to Wagyu beef.

Even at this price, Xiyuan Residence was packed every day. Sometimes it was impossible to get a table, with long lines of people waiting!

Su Chen’s plan was to take control of the production source, then build a network of partners. People like Qin Fen, and especially celebrities like Chen He and Deng Chao, would open hot pot restaurants in first and second-tier cities across the country. Leveraging their individual fame and the quality of Wuzhumuqin lamb, they would surely be able to capture the market quickly.

Moreover, since he would be sourcing directly—with no middlemen taking a cut—he could guarantee the herdsmen’s income while also making a fortune for himself. It was a win-win situation.

But the biggest problem he faced now was how to consolidate the Wuzhumuqin Grassland. Dongwu Banner alone had so many herders, to say nothing of the even larger Xiwu Banner!

’You have to eat a meal one bite at a time, and take things one step at a time.’

Su Chen thought for a moment, having made up his mind. "Ji Wan, if I wanted to consolidate the entire livestock industry of Dongwu Banner, would you know of a way?"
