Ling Gangji: the black bog is full of gold

His wealth is in the mud, so it's not easy to get it out. He is 30 years old, but has ten years of entrepreneurial experience. Two heavy blows, two fresh starts, and he spent two years betting. Look at how Ling Gangji in Chongqing has become a start-up star by relying on the mullet industry.

When the reporter interviewed, Ling Gangji took the reporter directly to his breeding base, saying that his wealth was in the mud.

Ling Gangji: I said it's gold. It glows. It's all money.

But as soon as the reporter got into the pond, he got stuck in the waist-deep mud.

Interviewer: Ah, the mud has reached my waist.

Ling Gangji: have you moved yet?

Interviewer: Ah, this leg is coming out. Why are they walking so fast?

Ling Gangji: they often walk in the bog.

Reporter: no, I'm stuck again. My shoes are stuck in it.

Ling Gangji: one, two, let's go. Okay, here we go.

In this difficult bog, the reporter did not find a fish.

Ling Gangji: all the fish have gone to the bottom of the mud. Because it is not on the water, the temperature is not high now. And the mud is soft, so it drills under the water. If we talk like this, we can still hug it out. You see, there's a big one right here.

Interviewer: can this fish live in the mud?

Ling Gangji: it's just temporarily hiding in the mud. It still needs fresh air.

Interviewer: then why do we catch this fish today and pump this water dry?

Ling Gangji: today this fish pond is a pond planted with lotus root. When there is lotus root, we can't go down to the pond to catch fish, because it will damage the lotus root. Now we can catch fish in the pond only after we have dug up the lotus root. When catching fish, because the density is not too high, we have to pump the water dry to catch it, so it is easier to get it.

In this fish pond, Ling Gangji not only raised mullet, but also interplanted lotus root. In fact, when Ling Gangji began to raise mullet, like reporters, it was difficult to walk in the pond, let alone catch fish.

Ling Gangji: I don't know how to catch fish at first, but run away as soon as I catch fish. Run away as soon as you catch a fish. But then I mastered that skill when I caught too much. Slowly, one hand can be grasped, one hand can be grasped, one at a time. This is a process in which practice makes perfect.

Interviewer: I'm not walking at all. I'm kneeling now.

Ling Gangji: slow down.

Reporter: the kneeling force area is larger. No, I'm gonna get down. It's so deep here.

Ling Gangji: you stand up first.

Interviewer: can't stand up.

Ling Gangji: get up?

Interviewer: stand up.

Interviewer: it's really hard to dig fish.

Ling Gangji: you see, our master's face is covered with mud.

Interviewer: your face is also covered with mud.

Ling Gangji: am I a mud, too? The true nature of the working people.

Reporter: the master catches fish so fast.

Ling Gangji: can you hold it?

Reporter: I can't catch it.

Reporter: this one, this one, make a fool of it.

Ling Gangji: it's all right, don't make fun of it.

Cover his eyes. Great. I caught it at once.

Interviewer: cover its eyes and it won't move.

Ling Gangji: don't move. Look.

Under the guidance of Ling Gangji, the reporter was slowly able to catch fish. The reporter proposed to compete with Ling Gangji to see who can catch fast.

Interviewer: come on, shall we?

Ling Gangji: here we go.

Interviewer: it's easier to catch.

Ling Gangji: another one, all in the mud.

But before he caught a few, the reporter couldn't walk again. And Ling Gangji has caught a full bucket.

Ling Gangji: now I often go to the pond to catch fish. Work with the workers, so that you can work harder with the workers. Looking at the fish I raised, I felt comfortable and happy to catch it.

After a lot of effort, the reporter also caught a bucket of mullet and went ashore with a face full of embarrassment.

Reporter: I finally landed. I like it when I see this hard land.

Ling Gangji: why is there a two-word on your forehead?

After Ling Gangji fished these mullet up, he quickly washed them and loaded them into the car. Then quickly pulled the fish to the next destination.

Ling Gangji: red soup for both of you. Scoop it bigger.

What Ling Gangji brought to the guests was his own red soup mullet hot pot. The mullet in the pot was just fished out of the fish pond that morning. Ling Gangji is not only an expert in mullet farming in Chongqing, but also opened eight restaurants in Chongqing. His entrepreneurial experience moved a lot of people there.

Liu Jia, Secretary of the Yongchuan District CPC Committee of the Communist Youth League: Ling Gangji is a very aggressive and savvy young entrepreneur. This young man is more able to endure hardships and has a fighting spirit and persistent pursuit of entrepreneurial dreams than ordinary young people of the same age. We are very moved by this.

But it was this young man who moved others who expressed regret for his past experience in the interview.

Ling Gangji: I feel reckless, too unstable, this person is too unstable, in fact, others, I guess everyone thinks of me the same way. I just didn't know it at that time. If I were as calm as I am now, I might take a lot of detours.

So, why did Ling Gangji say that he was too reckless in the past? How did he become a role model for local youth to start a business?

Ling Gangji is 30 years old and has ten years of entrepreneurial experience. In the words of a friend, starting a business is his greatest hobby.

Classmate Huang Bo: this person just doesn't have any interests and hobbies. His biggest hobby is to make money. He has very little spare time, and most of the time he is busy taking care of his business, business and career.

Huang Bo is a college classmate of Ling Gangji. In his eyes, Ling Gangji has been different from other classmates since he went to college. In 2005, Ling Gangji was admitted to the art and design major of Chengdu University. As soon as he entered school, he assembled a computer and opened an advertising studio. He was the first person in the school to buy a car with the money he earned. At the beginning of his junior year, Ling Gangji saw the business opportunity of this kind of glowing advertising words, which was just popular in Chengdu, and borrowed 200000 yuan to open an advertising production company.

Ling Gangji: there were less than a hundred in Chengdu at that time. To sell a place like this. Because for the whole southwest region, the demand is great, and the profit space is also very big. This drives me to do it quickly. Otherwise, there will be no foothold in the future.

By 2009, Ling Gangji, who is about to graduate from college, has earned more than 500,000 yuan, and he is planning to open a bigger advertising company after graduation. Who wants the next change to make Ling Gangji's wife, who was still his girlfriend at that time, feel that life is as exciting as winning a prize.

Wife he Wei: it feels like winning the lottery. Maybe our lives are full of ups and downs and full of excitement.

One day in May 2009, one of Ling Gangji's workers accidentally fell while installing advertising words and became disabled. This not only led to a lawsuit against Ling Gangji, but also lost more than 500,000 yuan earned by the university over the past four years, and owed more than 200,000 yuan in foreign debt.
