Zhao Deyuan, the king of cobras in Nanchong, led the villagers to raise snakes to become rich.

Zhao Deyuan grabbed two cobras and kept calm.

The cobra makes people shudder. However, in the eyes of Zhao Deyuan, a villager of Longtai Temple Village, Datong Town, Jialing District, Nanchong City, it is his partner on his dream of getting rich. On the morning of the 17th, at Zhao Deyuan's cobra farm, the cobra wriggled on the cobra bed. The cold "head Guazi" stuck out its tongue, which was daunting, but the 45-year-old Zhao Deyuan looked calm and grabbed a snake in the other to check the cobra's growth.

Zhao Deyuan was a wage earner and also had a small business in grain and oil. In 2013, he set up a farm in his hometown to raise cobras. Today, his farm has become the largest cobra breeding base in Nanchong, and Zhao Deyuan has also become a veritable "cobra king" in Nanchong.

His cobra devours 120000 chicks in a month.

Zhao Deyuan casually opened a room door, a smell in the face, people uncomfortable. Behind this door, there is an anti-theft door. Zhao Deyuan continued to open the security door and saw eight tents with bricks at the bottom and wooden planks on both sides of the room. "if the cobra escapes, the consequences will be serious, so we have layers of defenses, and it is impossible for the cobra to escape." Zhao Deyuan said.

Zhao Deyuan opened the curtain and heard only the sound of "squeak" and the dense cobra wriggled on the board. He grabbed one and played with it in his hand.

"We use non-hibernating farming technology to keep snakes from hibernating and gain weight all year round. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the indoor temperature and install heating. " Zhao Deyuan said that the snake nest looks like a bed. The first floor of the plank is where the snake sleeps, and the lower floor is the snake's bathroom. If you eat, you need to crawl to the outside basin or bowl.

"Cobra's food is a week-old rooster bought from a poultry hatchery. More than 8000 snakes eat 120000 chickens a month, weighing more than 3 tons." Zhao Deyuan said that the poultry hatchery only needs hens, and cockerels will be sold as feed, so there is no problem with the supply of chicks.

His startup sells 5300 cobras in two years.

At the age of 17, Zhao Deyuan went to Jiangsu to help people brew soy sauce and then started a small business in grain and oil. In 2010, Zhao Deyuan, who was nearly 40 years old, returned to his hometown to inspect the entrepreneurial project and was eventually attracted by the cobra breeding project, "because the cobra is expensive and easy to sell."

In 2013, Zhao Deyuan went to Chongqing to learn farming techniques. In July, Zhao Deyuan and his wife set up a farm in Longtai Temple Village. Since then, Zhao Deyuan went to Guangxi to buy more than 2000 snake eggs, and after nearly two months of incubation, more than 1600 young snakes were successfully hatched.

In the process of breeding, Zhao Deyuan and his wife were bitten by cobras. In this regard, Zhao Deyuan said that this is caused by his own operational error, as long as the protection is proper, the cobra can not bite people, and bite people, as long as immediate measures are taken, there will be no big problem.

Gradually accumulating experience in the exploration, Zhao Deyuan's cobra seldom gets sick and thrives. In October 2014, the first batch of more than 1300 cobras went on the market, all of which were sold to Guangdong, earning more than 400,000 yuan. In December 2015, the second batch of more than 4000 adult snakes (more than 10, 000 jin) were listed and all were sold to Guangdong. This batch of snakes earned Zhao Deyuan more than 1 million yuan.

His big dream led the villagers to raise cobras to become rich.

At present, Zhao Deyuan has more than 8000 cobras, and the farm has become the largest cobra breeding base in Nanchong. Zhao Deyuan did not forget the villagers, the farm hired a number of villagers to take care of, Zhao Deyuan hand in hand to teach technology.

"apart from selling snake meat, snake venom and snake skin have high economic value in raising cobras, and there are great market prospects." Zhao Deyuan said. For the future development plan, Zhao Deyuan has a plan: to expand the scale of breeding; to open a characteristic farm music that mainly eats cobra meat; and to drive villagers to raise cobras to become rich.

But when I heard about the cobra, everyone was scared. "in fact, it is safe to raise cobras in the right way." Zhao Deyuan said.

Peng Hong, deputy secretary of the party committee of Datong Town, said that the government is going to first organize villagers to visit and study at the farm to overcome people's fear of cobras, and then try to start classes to build Longtai Temple Village into a "cobra farming village." Zhao Deyuan said: after the start of the cobra breeding training course, farming techniques will be taught to villagers free of charge.
