Never forget why you started

Entrepreneurial success feeds back to hometown

"my hometown is too poor. As early as when I was a student, I planned to do something when I got out of society in the future, to repay my hometown and do something for the villagers to get rid of poverty." In the interview, Zhang Fei said frankly.

Zhang Fei, 48, and Zhang Xueping, 44, are cousins who have played together since childhood. They are both native villagers of Jinlongshan.

Zhang Fei said that after graduating from junior high school, he drove a tractor, went under a coal mine and did turquoise business in his hometown. Zhang Xueping had seven brothers and sisters in his family, but with limited financial conditions, he went out before graduating from junior high school, running past sales and decoration. Four or five years ago, Zhang Fei followed Zhang Xueping to Xiangyang to engage in real estate development, and finally achieved success, laying a solid foundation for future return to his hometown and later development.

"We all come from poor families, and we can feel the taste of poverty. We are not rich when we are rich. We are only rich when we are rich." Zhang Xueping said.

In 2010, a bridge was built in Xiaying Village, Jianchi Township, and Zhang Xueping donated 50,000 yuan. In Jinlongshan Village, Jianchi Township, there was a college student whose family was in difficulty. Zhang Xueping subsidized 10,000 yuan a year for four consecutive years until he graduated from college.

In March 2015, the two brothers invested 800000 yuan to build 5 kilometers of cement roads for Jinlongshan Village, solving the travel difficulties of the villagers. In the same year, in order to solve the problem of more than 30 people crossing the river in six families in the village, 160000 yuan was invested to build a 12-meter-long bridge to help the poor. In July 2015, the Zhang brothers donated 400000 yuan to Jianchi Township to support the balanced development of compulsory education in their hometown. This year, in order to support the accurate poverty alleviation work in their hometown, they donated 700000 yuan to the relocation housing project in Jianchi Township.

In the past two years, brothers Zhang Fei and Zhang Xueping have not forgotten their initial ideals and aspirations, and have donated more than 2 million yuan to their hometown.

Invest ten million yuan

Build a large sika deer farm

Through market analysis and market research, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xueping brothers decided to change careers-- to take the road of special breeding.

Zhang Fei said that in recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the increasing awareness of health care, a series of deer products, including venison, are in short supply at home and even around the world, and belong to the sunrise industry. Sika deer belongs to the national first-class protected animals, the whole body is covered with treasures, especially deer antler, deer whip, deer blood, deer heart, deer kidney, deer sutra and so on have high medicinal value. According to the survey, the current domestic stock of about 50,000, there are no large-scale farms in northwest Hubei, they decided to invest in the construction of farms to fill this gap.

Why did you choose to go back to Jinlongshan Village to build a farm? Zhang Xueping said that in terms of the transportation and resource conditions of the village, it was not the best choice, but in order to fulfill the wishes of the two brothers in their childhood, they were determined to invest in their hometown.

In early July last year, Luding Deer breeding Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Luding Company) and Jianchi Township signed the Cooperation Agreement on Sika Deer breeding Project in Jinlongshan Village, Jianchi Township, with a plan to raise 50 million yuan to build the largest sika deer breeding base in northwest Hubei. The signing of the agreement marks the formal establishment of Luding Company, with Zhang Xueping and Zhang Fei as chairman and vice chairman respectively.

Zhang Fei said that with the strong support of departments at all levels, the deer farm project was welcomed by the people of Jinlongshan Village, including land expropriation, leveling, foundation digging, and design. This work was carried out almost at the same time. He and Zhang Xueping not only had to take care of the outside affairs, but also had to check the construction of the farm. Half a year down, the two brothers lost weight and once again realized the hardship of starting a business.

In a short period of 5 months, a high-standard farm with an investment of more than 5 million yuan was built. The farm covers an area of 1500 square meters, with deer pens, feed processing rooms, epidemic prevention rooms, office rooms and other functional rooms.

"come and see, here comes the lovely sika deer." In March this year, there was a clear sound of firecrackers, and the company was surrounded by strange villagers.

350 sika deer introduced from Changchun successfully arrived at the sika deer ecological breeding farm in Jinlongshan Village, marking the formal operation of the largest sika deer ecological breeding project in northwest Hubei.

According to reports, the main way to raise sika deer is to pick antlers. The life span of a sika deer is about 16 years old, and ten years of antler can be picked from two years old to 12 years old, which can bring economic benefits of more than one hundred thousand yuan. Under normal circumstances, the purchase cost of a sika deer cub is about 10,000 yuan. Sika deer meat is delicious, since ancient times, there has been a "deer full seat", it is more popular today, its lips, mouth, liver, brain, classics, bones, tails and so on can make valuable dishes.

At present, the company has completed an investment of more than 10 million yuan. There are more than 20 enclosures in the farm, which implement scientific captivity and omni-directional video surveillance management. Next year, another 700 animals will be introduced to further expand the scale of breeding and carry out deep processing, development and utilization of deer products such as venison, velvet antler and pilose antler wine.

Careful breeding

The deer listen to music and enjoy the shower.

"the cost of raising each deer is 2,500 yuan per year, which is lower than that of cattle and sheep, and the requirements for enclosures are not high. Each deer covers an area of about 10 square meters, and it is necessary to keep it clean, sunny, ventilated and firm. " Hu Xuefeng, director of the farm, introduced.

The whole breeding area is separated from each other, an enclosure of more than 30 square meters, divided into a rest area and an activity area. The enclosure has complete facilities, including electronic monitoring, mobile water supply pool, food trough and electric fan. In order to prevent the deer from getting upset, broadcasting equipment is also installed in the enclosure, and light music is played for more than an hour at noon or afternoon every day to regulate the mood of the deer. The top of the enclosure is equipped with shower equipment, the weather is hot, sika deer can not only blow the electric fan, but also enjoy the shower.

Hu Xuefeng said that when these deer first arrived, they did not adapt to the new environment. Workers often comb their hair, tickle them, and need to be fed and cared for every night, like swaddling babies.

Sika deer are easier to raise and are not picky about eating and drinking. Feed is divided into coarse grain and refined grain, coarse grain is mainly fresh corn straw, refined grain includes bean cake, corn, wheat bran and so on, as well as salt, calcium and other additives.

The reporter saw that the male deer and the female deer live separately. Hu Xuefeng said that under normal circumstances, each male deer can mate with more than 10 females, which is a typical "polygamy" system. In the process of raising, in order to prevent the Bucks from fighting for mates and injuring the antlers on the top of their heads, during the estrus of sika deer, they will appropriately add some anti-estrus drugs to their feed or water. At present, the company has 15 female deer that can breed. In order to breed, the company spent 150000 yuan on a buck king last year.

Zhang Fei, vice chairman of the company, said that in order to achieve scientific feeding, they visited and studied large sika deer breeding companies in Jilin, Shandong and Wuhan, Hubei, and arranged for technicians to go out for training many times, and now they have basically mastered a set of scientific breeding methods.

Set up a cooperative

Lead the villagers to get rich together

At the beginning of the year, Yunxi County Jiawang Deer Industry Professional Cooperative was established, which is an agriculture-related cooperative under Luding Company.

Zhang Zhongheng, 23, gave up the opportunity to study as a graduate student and returned to his hometown to become chairman of the cooperative.

According to Zhang Zhongheng, deer are herbivores. A deer consumes an average of 35 kg of grass and 3 jin of concentrate per day, which requires a lot of crop straw and forage.

At present, cooperatives adopt the two modes of "company + cooperative + peasant household" and "peasant household + cooperative + company" to plant feed on a large scale, with a planting area of more than 200 mu.

Liu Ruidong, a cadre of Jinlongshan Village, said that at present, more than 100 households in the village have joined the club, which is recommended by Tengdi. Including dozens of poor households who set up archives and set up cards, the company regularly distributed corn and grass seeds for villagers to plant, and implemented the recovery price protection policy.

Due to the perennial need for a large amount of feed, most villagers in the village not only send the crop straw that was once regarded as "waste" to sell money, but also use leisure to mow grass and pick up dried leaves to make money. Wang Liju, an 82-year-old man who lives near the farm, earns more than 40 yuan by cutting grass and picking up dried leaves every day. Breeding farms provide villagers in surrounding villages and towns with a way to make money, and play a positive role in helping to shake off poverty and become rich.

It is understood that the farm employs 60 workers all the year round, helping hundreds of people to achieve employment.

Zhang Fei said that with the expansion of the scale of aquaculture, the number of forage and grain growers will grow to 800, 000 in the next three years, forming a fixed relationship between supply and demand, resulting in an average annual income of about 10000 yuan. Cooperatives vigorously develop joint-stock members to ensure that they have a stable income, and at the same time give priority to poor families to attract employment to help them shake off poverty and become rich at an early date.
