Gold-weaving young women return to their hometown to start a business: "breeding Xishi" brings rich villagers

On the one hand, she nurtured her company, offering a job with an annual salary of 150000 yuan; on the other hand, she was raised in her poor hometown. In a dilemma, she chose the latter.

Under her leadership, six villagers set up breeding farms, and all the workers she recruited were poor.

She is the 30-year-old Zhang Hongmei, the "March 8th Red Flag bearer" in Bijie City.

In 2003, Zhang Hongmei, 17, from Yuejin Village, Banqiao Township, Zhijin County, just finished junior high school and could not continue to go to school because of her poor family. She went to work in Fujian alone.

Zhang Hongmei works in a pig farm, Shuangyu Duroc breeding Co., Ltd., whose monthly salary of 500 yuan is not high, but she has an endless energy to do all the dirty and hard work. Three months later, the hard-working girl was reused by the company and arranged for her to study at Longyan School in Fujian Province to learn farming techniques.

During her three years of schooling, she took classes at school during the day and returned to work at the company's farm at night. After graduation, Zhang Hongmei became the technical director of the company, responsible for the breeding technology of four farms.

In early 2008, Zhang Hongmei returned to her hometown to have a baby. Seeing the poverty in her hometown, she had the idea of staying, but in order to repay the kindness of the company, she returned to Fujian and was promoted to director of the farm.

After that, Zhang Hongmei took turns as the director of the company's four farms, and the scale of the company grew to more than 400,000 live pigs.

However, the poverty in his hometown has always worried him. In September 2013, Zhang Hongmei gave up her job with an annual salary of 150000 yuan and returned to the happy village of Banqiao Township, where her husband's family lives, to start building a farm. In January 2014, a red plum farm with an investment of more than 800,000 yuan was completed. Over the course of a year, Zhang Hongmei earned more than 200,000 yuan and won the honor of "March 8 Red Flag bearer" in Bijie City.

In June 2015, the professional quail breeding cooperative in Happy Village, Banqiao Township, with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, was established, and the village committee entrusted Zhang Hongmei to manage and operate it. She invests 260000 yuan and returns 200000 yuan to the village committee every year. The return is completed in five years, and she accounts for 30% of the profit. At present, the co-operative produces about 1600 jin of quail eggs every day, and the market price is 6 yuan per jin. Supply exceeds demand.

The 12 workers recruited by the cooperative are all poor villagers in Happy Village, with a basic salary of 1800 yuan, plus commissions, etc., with an average monthly salary of 3000 yuan.

"I used to work outside for a long time. I never held a parent-teacher meeting for my children from primary school to high school." Guo Jiaqin, a worker, said that when he returned to his hometown to work, he could take care of the children and earn as much as he did when he worked outside.

Zhang Hongmei not only provides jobs, but also uses her skills and experience to ease the worries of the villagers and get rich together. In May 2014, 20 pigs raised by Sun Huazhong in the central village of Banqiao Township were peeled, and Zhang Hongmei injected the pigs with vitamins to make them grow up. At the beginning of last year, under the guidance of Zhang Hongmei, Sun Huazhong invested 150000 yuan to expand nine pig pens to 40, feeding 120 pigs, earning more than 100,000 yuan in the first quarter of this year.

Zhang Hongmei, who is eager to help others and has excellent skills, led the villagers to rely on farming to get rich, and was affectionately known as "breeding Xi Shi" by the villagers.
