Hu Jun's Chicken raising

He came to raise chickens as a layman, with many twists and turns. With great efforts, ten thousand chickens finally came out of the fence, which brought not surprises, but nightmares. Looking for business opportunities in his troubles, he made a lot of strange moves. He moved to the local chicken every three months, the road was difficult and the chickens ran around, but his small way to get rich was hidden in the messy scene. See how Hu Jun in Sichuan used more than three years to rise rapidly, and the annual sales of raising chickens reached more than 30 million yuan.

Hu Jun: we stand behind four, one on each side, all heading that way.

On the morning of May 20, 2016, Hu Jun was busy moving more than 4000 of his chickens. Many animals have leaders, but chickens do not. At the scene, these unled chickens are like a plate of loose sand, each serving as a battalion. It is difficult for these chickens to walk in the same direction.

Hu Jun: it is best if there is grain to lead the way ahead. If it is hungry, sprinkle a circle of grain. It slowly pecks, slowly pecks, and it slowly follows.

Hu Jun plans to move the chickens from the upper circle to another circle 200 meters below the hillside, which is not far but laborious. However, Hu Jun still insists that chickens should be moved to a new stocking area every three months in order to protect vegetation and facilitate the growth of chickens.

Hu Jun: because in some places, if we put the grass on the farm, the chicken will peck it out, and then in order to let it still have grass to eat, we have to move to the next place where there is already grass. If there is still grass, the meat that the chicken grows, or the air quality of the stocking is better.

In the process of driving chickens, Hu Jun also has an important task. The slope is very steep, and there are ditches and ridges everywhere. For us, it is easy to wrestle, and it is also a test for Hu Jun's chickens. There is a ridge close to the circle, and the slope is close to 90 degrees. When you get to this place, some of these chickens are vigorous.

Hu Jun: these chickens went up unstoppably.

Some are stupid and stupid.

Hu Jun: it hit it. It's a stupid chicken. Very good, can go up.

There are repeated attempts without success, looking for a detour where the slope is small.

Hu Jun: no, you are a deserter.

In Hu Jun's eyes, these difficult places happen to be the best places to test chickens.

Hu Jun: if it is a little worse, it will be reflected when you move the circle. Those who are bullied should run away from that kind of chicken.

Catch it out and raise it separately, lest other chickens fight with it and beat it to death.

Drive chickens, release chickens, today's Hu Jun is good at everything, while three years ago Hu Jun was engaged in the construction and construction contracting industry. In a short period of more than three years, Hu Jun's annual sales of raising chickens reached more than 30 million. From small-scale trial breeding to rapidly becoming a leading agricultural enterprise in Chengdu. How did Hu Jun rise rapidly?

Hu Jun, 44, started as a carpenter and later set up a construction contracting company with annual sales of tens of millions of yuan. In 2009, Hu Jun was attracted by an advantage of agriculture and wanted to work in agriculture.

Hu Jun: sometimes when you can't get money in three or two years, what you want to do most is the best cash transaction, which is easier for the company to plan.

Hu Jun and three shareholders set up the agricultural company in 2011. Hu Jun inspected more than a dozen special projects and finally told shareholders that they wanted to raise chickens, which shareholders were very confused about.

Fan Zujian: there is nothing bright about raising chickens. Because there are too many, they are raising chickens. At that time, I thought there might be no prospect.

In order to convince shareholders, Hu Jun decided to try it out first. In July 2012, Hu Jun bought back 1500 chicken chicks for trial breeding. Six months later, the chickens were out of the pen. Because of the small quantity, they were soon sold out. Hu Jun calculated a bill and had fun secretly. 1500 chickens earned 20, 000 yuan.

Hu Jun: it's easy to raise, and then the cost is not high. I conservatively estimate that if I earn 10 yuan (a chicken), then I have 1 million (yuan) for 100, 000, and 10 million (yuan) for 1 million, which is much better than my engineering.

Hu Jun used this experiment to win the support of shareholders at one stroke. In December 2012, Hu Jun found a good place to raise chickens on a large scale. He transferred three mountains in Minji Village, Dayi County, with ambition to do a big job. However, the treasure land in Hu Jun's eyes caused trouble for him. Only a few days after the construction of the chicken coop, someone came to the door.

Hu Jun: the land (bureau staff) came by car. As far as the law enforcement department is concerned, you must not use this. This problem will immediately give you a stop order, and then you restore the land. I was confused at once.

Once the work is stopped, Hu Jun's investment of more than 100,000 yuan will be wasted. Hu Jun quickly understood that the nature of the land belonged to basic farmland and could not build chicken coops. As soon as he entered agriculture, he fell over, and Hu Jun was very depressed.

Hu Jun: I am sure of a goal. No matter I hit my head and bleed, I must rush to it. You can make an alternative, but you must not look back and rush forward unswervingly.

In February 2013, Hu Jun transferred nearly a thousand mu of woodland as a stocking area near Xiling Snow Mountain in Fushi Village, Dayi County, invested more than 10 million yuan, built a farm and began to raise improved local native chickens. Next, he was miserable by a practice in the construction industry.

The first batch of Hu Jun raised tens of thousands of animals. Hu Jun and his shareholders called friends and took the initiative to invite everyone to come to the farm to play. Seeing the excitement of everyone playing, Hu Jun and the shareholders were also very happy.

Hu Jun: show the scale of my own venue, let them see it, and help us with word-of-mouth publicity. I think this is good.

Shareholder Xu Yong: they say very good, very good, great, great. My pride at that time.

The arrival of relatives and friends made the farm lively. But soon there was a problem. During the interview, Hu Jun went into the chicken house early in the morning and found that a chicken had died. He told the reporter that in such a large chicken farm, it was not surprising that several chickens died a day. This is a normal phenomenon. However, in April 2013, not long after breeding, he found dozens of dead chickens for the first time, far more than normal, which frightened him.

Hu Jun: if we continue to lose control, I guess the money I invested in the early stage will basically be wasted and my money will be lost. It's not just losing money, it's possible to lose everything.

Four thousand chickens in a circle cost more than 200,000 yuan. According to the situation at that time, Hu Jun's chickens died in less than a month. Hu Jun discovered that it was common for people to visit the construction industry before, but for the breeding industry, it was a big taboo to lead relatives and friends into the chicken farm.

Hu Jun: the crowd is the largest carrier. If they enter, he can eat poultry anywhere outside, or go to other places to inspect. He has bacteria on him, so later we won't let them into this cage.
