Ningxiang County, Hunan Province: it is easy for him to make money by raising flower pigs.

This is an amusement park, this is also a pig farm, the owner here is Xie Ming. Xie Ming became the deputy general manager of a construction company at the age of 28, earning more than 500,000 yuan a year, but resigned and went back to the village to start a business at the age of 30. He often uses tricks to raise pigs, building rock climbing and repairing runways in the pig farm, and the cost of raising pigs is higher than the market price. His cultivation is incomprehensible to many people, but the effect is surprisingly good. Look at Xie Ming in Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, how to achieve his own pig-raising career.

On March 6, 2016, more than 70 families from Changsha visited Ningxiang County. Their destination may surprise you.

Rock climbing is not an easy game for adults, but what can children from so many families play? This is also the most attractive thing about this place. In addition to rock climbing, there is a piggy track specially prepared for children, because it is actually a pig farm.

Xie Ming: are you ready?

Tourist: always be ready.

Xie Ming: I declare, begin.

These little flower pigs are all unique to Ningxiang County. In order to ensure the safety of the children, the selected Ningxiang flower pig is only one or two months old. Because of frequent contact with people, these little pigs are not afraid of people.

Tourist: come on, come on!

In addition to the piglet race, there is also a bath activity for the piglet.

Tourist: this is still relatively rare. But piggy is so cute and has a common time with children.

Xie Ming is in charge of this pig farm. Raising Ningxiang flower pigs is a traditional local industry, but Xie Ming's approach is unexpected. He turned the pig farm into a playground, and he is not the only one who is unexpected.

Bu Yujian, a flower pig breeding enterprise in Ningxiang County, Changsha City, Hunan Province: we all laughed at him at that time. Screwing around. This is a strange way of doing it. What's the use of doing it like this? This is a gimmick. We think he's just a gimmick.

Zhang Chao, a flower pig breeding enterprise in Ningxiang County, Changsha City, Hunan Province: at that time, we were an expert. He entered the industry from the outside, and it was a big challenge for him to feed pigs with cooked food. Everyone is waiting to see his jokes to see if he can stick to it.

Xie Ming was born in 1983. When he was in college, his father borrowed all his tuition fees. Xie Ming served as president of the university's student union. After graduation, he joined a state-owned construction company in Tianjin and became deputy general manager in 2011, with an annual salary of more than 500000 yuan. However, when Xie Ming returned home for the Spring Festival in 2013, he heard a piece of news.

This is Xie Ming's hometown of Dachengqiao Town, which has relied mainly on coal economy over the past few decades. There were seven coal mines in the town, with more than 5000 employees at its peak. But in 2012, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. All seven local coal mines have been closed.

Yu Hongjian, party committee secretary of Dachengqiao Town, Ningxiang County, Changsha City, Hunan Province: with the introduction of the national coal mine closure policy, our coal mines have been closed. Then we are facing a road of transformation and development, so in terms of transformation and development, we focus on the development of modern agriculture.

Xie Ming felt that there was a business opportunity here, so he found several fellow villagers in the catering industry to discuss the matter, and two of them hit it off with him.

Xie Ming's shareholder: when he communicated with us, he wanted to come back to engage in agriculture. It is very consistent with our catering industry, and we need these good raw materials. Including this agricultural project, including agricultural leisure, some of his more systematic ideas came out at that time.

Xie Ming: there is such a good environment, and the big policy is also very good, and the local policy can keep up with it. So we had a very specific conversation, and we talked very well. So through these aspects (consideration), I made up my mind to come back to do it.

After the Spring Festival in 2013, Xie Ming quit his job to invest in agriculture with two fellow villagers. He first transferred 300 mu of land, planted vegetables and raised fish at the foot of the mountain, and built a farm on the hillside to raise pigs. Years of experience in business management, the trust of investors, and the policy support of the government all make Xie Ming feel confident that he will be able to succeed in starting his own business. But Xie Ming never thought that there was a loophole in this seemingly flawless plan.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in 2014, an ordinary rainfall suddenly turned into a torrential rain at night.

Xie Ming: there are mountains on both sides of ours. The water level rises very quickly. There are mountains on both sides. If it rains, the water on the mountain will come down.

Liu Xiangyang, deputy general manager of Xieming Company: the water is very high above the pond embankment.

Reporter Chang Kun: how high was the water level where you were standing at that time?

Liu Xiangyang, Deputy General Manager of Xie Ming Company: about this high, this is the position. The pond was all flooded and the fish were washed away. All the vegetables over there were flooded and washed.

Tang Yukun, a shareholder of Xieming Company: after coming here, people suddenly got cold.

Reporter Chang Kun: why? What do you see?

Tang Yukun, a shareholder of Xieming Company: basically can't see anything, it's all water. This roadbed has collapsed for more than 20 meters, all collapsed, as if to that position. Then a flood control ditch above is about this wide, about 40 to 50 meters down.

This is a photo taken by Xie Ming with his mobile phone after the rainstorm. In the past, rice was grown locally and he was not afraid of heavy rain. After Xie Ming changed to grow vegetables and raise fish, he did not consider the problem of flood discharge. 300 mu of farmland and five fish ponds were all flooded, and the newly built infrastructure was also damaged. Xie Ming lost more than 1 million yuan.

Xie Ming's wife Liu Ting: when the embryonic form appeared, the water washed it away, once back to before liberation, the mood is the most lost time. I had some insomnia during that time, and I couldn't sleep at two or three o'clock at night.

With shareholders' money to start a business, Xie Ming is already under a lot of pressure. Now Xie Ming blames himself for causing such a great loss because he was ill-prepared for the rainstorm. In those days, Xie Ming had mixed feelings when he stood on the dike and looked at the water level that had not receded.
