Taojiang, Hunan: college students return to their hometown to become "swineherds" and open up online sales to get rich.

Gao Jingbo rang the bell to summon piglet to "go home"

Taojiang Huishan Harbor has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. The Xuefeng Mountain of Zhong Ling Junxiu has given birth to batch after batch of cultural celebrities, and the Zhixi River with nine twists and turns has sent away one batch after another of economic talents. The two academicians of Huishan Port are famous. Liu Lirong, a mobile phone expert, knows nothing and everyone knows. Gao Jingbo, a college student village official, made his way to wealth by raising pigs, but it is an alternative story.

Quit a high salary and return to your hometown to start a business

In 2013, Gao Jingbo, a graduate of Jiangxi Agricultural University, was hired by Nanjing Cargill Feed Company with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to engage in feed marketing. For his peers, Gao Jingbo's work was like a fish in water from the beginning. After two months of work, Gao Jingbo quit the job that others missed and pursued, and returned to the foot of Xuefeng Mountain in his hometown, Huishangang Town, Taojiang County. It turned out that he majored in veterinary medicine at school and had a lot of research on animal breeding, especially the fragrant pig he studied had entered the stage of tackling key problems. He was haunted by his own research when he worked at Cargill, and he was miserable because the company didn't have a research base. After careful consideration, Gao Jingbo joined the torrent of returning to his hometown to start a business. In October 2013, Gao Jingbo was hired as a village official after returning to his hometown. After persuading his parents, Gao Jingbo studied the fragrant pigs while preparing for the breeding base. In March 2014, Gao Jingbo improved on the basis of Guangxi Xiang Pig, developed Bama Xiang Pig, and set up his own breeding base.

Endure lonely mountains chasing dreams

In April 2014, Gao Jingbo invested 1 million yuan to build a "Xuefeng Ecological running Xiang Pig" farm in Xuefeng Mountain with a contract of 1000 mu. In order to run the farm well, Gao Jingbo left early and returned late and declined the visit of relatives and friends. Seeing the piglet grow up slowly, Gao Jingbo simply moved to the pig farm to share the joys and sorrows with the piglet. During the day, he ploughed the land and planted pasture, called the piggy into the mountains and forests, and patrolled the pigsty at night to see the piglet's sleeping position. The growth rate of Bama Xiang Pig studied by Gao Jingbo is extremely slow, with an annual growth rate of only 60 jin and a growth period of more than one year. It is tolerant to coarse food and eats only forage grass, radish, cabbage, roots and weeds. It has strong disease resistance, and there has not been a single case so far last year. Based on the above reasons, Gao Jingbo is raised in a stocking way. At 9 o'clock in the morning, Gao Jingbo put the pig into the 1000 mu mountain on time, and he himself was in the 1000 mu mountain. In the evening, Gao Jingbo rang the bell and the piglets came back. After a year of groping, Gao Jingbo became familiar with the breeding business, and in 2015 he invested 1 million yuan to expand the scale of raising, hiring eight local farmers to help raise it. According to Gao Jingbo, as of November 29, 2015, 348 finished pigs have been produced this year, of which 200 can be fenced, with an annual gross profit of more than 1 million. In addition, there are 300 piglets, 90 sows and three boars in the pigsty.

Talking about imagining that the whole people will become rich

The shy Gao Jingbo always gets excited when it comes to the topic of raising. When asked about his future plans, Gao Jingbo went on and on: in addition to expanding the scale of breeding and expanding new varieties, he wanted to take advantage of the favorable geographical environment to lead nearby villagers to develop aquaculture and rural tourism, so that everyone can get rich together. Today, Gao Jingbo's Bama Pig Pork has become popular in big cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen through online marketing, winning the market because of its delicious meat, delicate meat taste and non-greasy meat. Having mastered online sales, he is preparing to lead the villagers to vigorously develop the green organic industry and get rich through online sales.
