The young man started a business and raised small hemp chickens with an annual sales of 18 million.

In 2015, Zhou Xianhua returned to Jiangxi to learn to raise Chongren chicken. At the beginning of his business, he encountered a lot of difficulties, feeding the first batch of more than 200 chickens all died. In order to raise chickens well, Zhou Xianhua increased the investment in raising chickens by science and technology. This year, Zhouxianhua Ecological Chongren Chicken Farm has expanded to 500 mu, which can sell 100,000 ecological Chongren chickens, realize sales income of 18 million yuan and profit of 3.2 million yuan.

Zhou Xianhua, who retired five times in November 2011, has worked in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan and other enterprises for many years. In 2015, Zhou Xianhua resolutely returned to his hometown and returned to Chongren County of Jiangxi Province to learn to raise Chongren chicken with his uncle. In March 2016, he established Shancao Ecological Chicken Breeding Cooperative.

Zhou Xianhua built his chicken farm on the top of a "one-sided slope" surrounded by mountains, and a winding group road led from the outside of the mountain to his chicken farm. The chicken farm is fully enclosed, east and west sides are two horizontal rows of four earthen houses for chickens to shelter from rain and keep warm, north and south sides are built with courtyard walls, the middle is a spacious drying dam, surrounded by nylon nets.

Speaking of the confusion and frustration when deciding to start a business, Zhou Xianhua is as precious as a few treasures. Before retiring five times, Zhou Xianhua had hesitated, mainly worried about five aspects: First, worried that he did not understand chicken farming technology, afraid to encounter large-scale chicken plague and other infectious diseases in the breeding process. Second, worry about the sales market is not good, chicken raised more sales can not go out how to do? Third, worry about entrepreneurship policy is not allowed, after all, chicken is a certain environmental pollution. Fourth, worry about venue and funding issues. There are many farmers near their homes and the space is limited. Will the villagers agree? Besides, although my classmates and comrades-in-arms have worked outside these years, they have also earned a lot of money. I am not well-off in my own business. How can I invest funds in running chicken farms? Fifth, worry that the old father does not agree, because large-scale chicken farming, after all, to bear a lot of risk, do not do well the whole family will have to follow in.

After returning home, Zhou Xianhua first found the leader of the current Labor and Employment Bureau, expressed his determination to start a business at his doorstep, and hoped to get the support of the government, mainly seeking support from the policy and entrepreneurial environment. In the face of this ambitious and determined outstanding youth, the county entrepreneurship guidance center, small guarantee center, village and group cadres and local villagers did not hesitate to extend their hands of support.

Soon, with the help and guarantee of the government and relatives and friends, Zhou Xianhua finally successfully set up the chicken farm with a loan of 100,000 yuan. At the beginning of his business, Zhou Xianhua encountered a lot of difficulties and setbacks, for example, chickens fell ill in the local can not buy medicine to cure chicken disease, can not timely and accurately diagnose chickens, there is no professional support nearby, do not know ingredients, dosing, disinfection epidemic prevention measures are not clear, incubation technology, egg selection, chick insulation and breeding management, etc., these things he is dark eyes, completely do not understand, so he fed the first batch of more than 200 chickens all died.

However, Zhou Xianhua deserves to be an outstanding young man who is diligent in learning and willing to drill. In order to raise chickens well and run chicken farms well, he thought of many ways and increased investment in scientific and technological chicken farming. He successively went to Wuhan, Yichang and surrounding towns to extensively inspect chicken farms and sales markets, and had a certain understanding of scientific chicken breeding.

In addition, he specially bought a color TV set and an antenna pan, insisted on watching CCTV's "Agricultural Broadcasting Heaven and Earth,""Getting Rich Classic" and other local TV programs every day, also bought back learning materials such as "Treatment and Prevention of Chicken Diseases,""Raising and Management of Ma Chicken,""Incubation of Eggs and Raising of Chicks" and an old laptop computer. Through careful study of book knowledge and consulting of network materials, he constantly improved his ability to raise chickens scientifically. In particular, he researched out the method of feeding pine needle powder and rotten leaf soil, which made the Three Gorges native chickens he fed achieve the goal of good and fast growth, and inserted wings for his chicken breeding career.

This year, Zhouxianhua ecological Chongren chicken farm expanded to 500 mu; built ecological Chongren chicken brood shed 200 square meters, breeding chicken shed 2000 square meters, egg shed 700 square meters, feed warehouse 150 square meters, office space 600 square meters, other auxiliary rooms 150 square meters. Shancao Ecological Chicken Breeding Cooperative has fixed assets of 22 million yuan, 2 senior animal husbandry veterinarians, 2 professional technicians and 15 breeding professional households. This year, 100,000 ecological Chongren chickens can be sold, with sales revenue of 18 million yuan and profit of 3.2 million yuan. The ecological Chongren chicken has also signed assistance contracts with 3 immigrants and 8 poor households, which will take 3-5 years to help them get rid of poverty and become rich.

After the storm comes the rainbow. In the breeding process, Zhou Xianhua realized his dream of becoming rich at home because he didn't understand this industry at the beginning, didn't have contact with it and didn't understand technology, so he looked for technical materials for self-study, learned through radio and television, consulted relevant technical personnel, and set up this chicken farm with the support of everyone.
