Yang Gui: excellent veterans turn into "leading geese" to become rich

The 37-year-old Yang Guizhong is of high stature, simple and honest. This inconspicuous-looking man is a famous leader of wealth in Fenghuang Village, Bama Yao Autonomous County, Hechi City.

At the end of 1998, Yang Guilai went to Hainan and became an ordinary island soldier, guarding the coastline of the motherland. During his three years of service, he has been rewarded many times and has been awarded as a fine military technical pacesetter for many times. After retiring in 2001, Yang Gui was keenly aware that "the hometown of longevity in the world" Bama longevity tourism is about to become a new business card for tourism in Guangxi. As a unique characteristic food of Bama, fragrant pig has a huge market demand and promising development prospects. At that time, Bama Xiang Pig was mainly raised by farmers, which failed to form the advantage of scale development.

Just do it. In 2003, Yang Gui, through investigation and demonstration, research and study, bought four excellent breeding pigs with only 3000 yuan, together with simple facilities such as pig pens provided by his father, and began his entrepreneurial dream. However, starting a business is not plain sailing. From 2004 to 2005, due to market saturation and limited promotion of tourism brands, pork prices fluctuated with the market. Except for costs, the profit was very low, resulting in a net loss of more than 50,000 yuan in the second half of 2005.

Yang Gui is not discouraged in the face of the market. With the spirit that soldiers will never give up, with the support of his relatives and friends, he invested more than 300,000 yuan to build a new farm with an annual output of 1500 fragrant pigs. With the improvement of Xiang pig breeding technology and market pre-control ability, in 2013, the base expanded again and absorbed farmers to set up Mingshan Xiang Pig farming Professional Cooperative, with a farming area of 7000 square meters, an annual output of more than 8000 Xiang pigs and sales of more than 5 million yuan.

Yang Gui, who became rich, did not forget the villagers and comrades-in-arms, took the initiative to teach them the breeding classics and cared about the social poor groups. Over the past two years, the base has distributed a total of 360 sows, benefiting 120 poor households. The base also provides free technical services such as information, epidemic prevention and treatment, and standard feeding for farmers, signs a recovery contract with farmers for fragrant pigs, and is responsible for purchasing fragrant pigs at or higher than the market price, and building a "production-supply-marketing" one-stop service industry chain. Under his active lead, since 2014, 65 farmers in the township have raised more than five sows, radiating hundreds of poor farmers and raising more than 1500 pigs, leading farmers to increase their annual per capita income by more than 1000 yuan. In 2011, the county poverty alleviation office awarded the title of "Rural practical Technology training Base" to Mingshan Xiang Pig farming Professional Cooperative.

"fighting is not just on the battlefield? By 2020, the annual income of cooperative farmers and company employees will reach more than 150000 yuan. " Yang Gui said confidently.

As an excellent veteran in the past and a "leading goose" who has become rich today, Yang Gui has set an example of hard work and wealth for the local people to get rid of poverty with his own actions and achievements.
