The man in Nanning earned 100,000 yuan a year when he returned to his hometown to raise ducks.

Because he has no skills, he hasn't saved up for many years.

Chen Zhiyi, 39, a native of Shitang Town, Hengxian County, has not been able to save money after working for many years. After the Spring Festival this year, Chen Zhiyi returned to his hometown to start a business and became a "duck commander." In just half a year, Chen Zhiyi has sold three batches of ducks and made tens of thousands of yuan. From a poor boy without a skill to a "duck commander" who has made a lot of money now, what is the story of Chen Zhiyi?

Work for many years

He still needs to borrow money.

Invest in duck farms

In the eyes of the villagers, Chen Zhiyi is a very diligent man. when he comes back during the Spring Festival, other young people get together to drink and play cards, but he never participates in it, but takes the opportunity to do farm work in his own field.

In 1995, the 18-year-old Chen Zhiyi began to work in Nanning. "at that time, the salary was only 300 to 400 yuan a month, not including room and board. A worker and I each spent 50 yuan to rent a small room in the village in the city, saving money except for the basic expenses every month." Over the past 20 years, Chen Zhiyi has been engaged in a variety of industries in Nanning, the longest working in an enterprise that produces human-powered tricycles in Nanning for nearly 10 years. However, when the salary of this job is the highest, it is only more than 3000 yuan a month.

In 2016, Chen Zhiyi saw his mother getting older and both children reached the critical age for further education, so he came up with the idea of going back to his hometown to start a business. Fortunately, at that time, there was a poultry breeding enterprise that came into the village to promote and encourage villagers to raise ducks. as long as the villagers provided venues and labor, duck seedlings and feed could be advanced by the company and deducted when the ducks were sold. It takes 100000 yuan to invest in the farm, but Chen Zhiyi has been working in Nanning for 20 years, but he can't even come up with 10, 000 yuan. In the end, 100000 yuan is borrowed from relatives and friends.

After raising the money, Chen Zhiyi soon built a 1200 square meter farm. Just after the Spring Festival, the first batch of 3000 duck seedlings were put in, and Chen Zhiyi's farm opened vigorously.

Increase in income

He still wants to plan.

Expand the scale of the site

Chen Zhiyi calculated for the reporter that each batch of ducks only needs to be raised for 45 seconds for 50 days, and each batch of ducks can make a profit of 5 to 6 yuan. He has sold three batches of adult ducks and made tens of thousands of yuan, which is more than the money earned by working in Nanning in the past.

Although the farm has been successfully put into production, it does not mean that Chen Zhiyi can rest easy. Chen Zhiyi said that he still faces many difficulties, such as weak rural power infrastructure, and power outages almost always when it is windy and rainy-his farm is in the wild far from the village, and the lighting and pumping of the entire duck shed at night cannot be separated from electricity for a moment. "whenever this happens, electricians often wait until dawn the next day and the rain stops to repair it."

Chen Zhiyi says that according to the current scale of farming, one can only earn 100000 yuan a year at most. Now there are only 3000 duck farms, and one person is enough to take care of them. Other people's farms can raise tens of thousands of ducks at a time. "after I have paid off the debt I borrowed from my relatives and friends, I will save the money and continue to invest in building a farm to increase my income."
