The peasant women in Qinzhou, Guangxi, raise snakes and lead the villagers to become rich.

Small day, there is a big dream; heavy shell, wrapped in a gentle look up …... Li Zihong, the person in charge of Qinzhou Walong breeding Entrepreneurship incubation Base, has made a day of raising snakes to become rich with her tireless entrepreneurial spirit and indomitable willpower over the years.

Li Zihong often said: "one rich is not rich, everyone is rich." Since 2010, she has established the first non-public special breeding technology training school in Guangxi, offered a training course on artificial domestication of snakes, and taught her snake-raising skills to the students without reservation, so as to truly drive and help more people to grow rich scientifically.

The way to get rich: small vegetable farmers raise snakes from scratch

From a small vegetable farmer in the 1990s to a farm manager covering a total area of 216mu (including sub-farms), from a farm manager to a snake expert who has helped to raise snakes and start a business with more than 3000 people; from an ordinary woman, "advanced" to an outstanding individual in employment and entrepreneurship in the country. Li Zihong's road of starting a business to become rich vividly explains what is meant by "continuous struggle in dreams", one step at a time, which is the proof of sweat and painstaking efforts.

In March 2015, the business incubation base of Qinzhou Walong breeding Co., Ltd. founded by Li Zihong was officially established with the help of Qinzhou Employment Service Center, with a total land area of 203.5 mu, located in Chaping Village, Dongchang Town, Qinzhou Port District.

Today, the base has built a total of 9000 commercial snake breeding houses for resident enterprises. at present, it has settled in 20 households and raised more than 36600 snakes. according to the relevant price estimates in the current market, the total output value of live snakes is about 4.74 million yuan. The base also supports 40 farmers to carry out special breeding, with an annual production of 907 tons of commercial snakes, with a net income increase of 159000 yuan per household, resulting in a significant increase in farmers' income.

Famous: will cooperate with foreign companies

Li Zihong is famous for loving snakes, dealing with snakes every day from morning till night, and raising snakes. "Snakes should be fed from 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning, preferably no more than 9: 00 in the morning." She talked eloquently about the way of raising snakes. "however, through observation, we found that different kinds of snakes have different requirements on temperature, humidity, feeding time, and sleep time."

Qinzhou Yuanhong Farm, which she founded in 2000, operates breeding and sales services such as cobra, five-step snake, tiger frog, etc. "in the course of breeding, I was bitten by a five-step snake twice." With these rather frightening experiences, Li Zihong still smiled and said, "if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?" Snake owners will not be afraid of this. "

At present, Walong breeding business incubation base is mainly engaged in snake, frog breeding and seedling cultivation, and meat snakes are exported to Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places. When the time is more ripe, we will build comprehensive deep processing, development and management of snake wine, snake bile, snake venom, etc., with an annual output of 10,000 tons of snake wine and dried snake.

Li Zihong told reporters that in January this year, a Japanese company that processed snake products was looking for their snake breeding base, hoping to cooperate in the future. "We are still considering it." Extending the industrial chain of snake breeding can improve the economic benefits of the whole industry. "

Don't forget your roots: lead the surrounding villagers to get rich

Qinzhou Yuanhong Special breeding Farm has successively established Yuanhong Special breeding Technology training School and Yuanhong Special breeding Science Popularization demonstration Base, holding a total of 30 training courses with 1500 trainees from all over the country. Yuanhong Special Culture Science Popularization demonstration Base has directly or indirectly helped more than 3000 people to achieve entrepreneurship and employment, and most of them have become rich and well-off.

In February 2015, Li Zihong won the "second moving Qinzhou character" award. She has also won honorary titles such as "National Advanced individual in Entrepreneurship and Employment", "double Learning and double comparison" in the autonomous region, "Women's meritorious service pacesetter" in Qinzhou City, "March 8th Red Flag bearer" in Qinzhou City, and "May 1 Labor Medal" in Qinzhou City.

"one person who is rich is not rich, but everyone is rich." If Li Zihong often talks about it, this is not an empty check. The Walong breeding and Entrepreneurship incubation Base contracts farmers' land, pays land contract fees to farmers according to the contract every year, and supports 40 surrounding farmers and unemployed farmers to carry out snake breeding, leading surrounding farmers to become rich and well-off through special farming.
