Sleeping fish make money.

Program highlights: this is a south fish north battle. This is a factory that creates dream tours for fish. He is the dreamer of fish. In 2014, he transported live fish from Guangdong to more than 50 cities nationwide, with sales of nearly 2 billion yuan.

Foshan, Guangdong Province, one of the most developed freshwater fish farming areas in China.

This is the harvest time, 6 mu fish pond will produce 50,000 catties of bass, this is the return of people's hard work for 8 months, the whole pond fish purchase price reached 1 million yuan.

Chen Jing, an aquaculture farmer in Foshan City, Guangdong Province: There is money to earn. Anyway, fish farming in recent years has money to earn. Farmers are all good.

Bai Junjie, researcher of China Academy of Aquatic Sciences: The output of bass, or California bass, is about 340,000 tons in China, but it accounts for 230,000 tons in Guangdong. Moreover, Guangdong is mainly concentrated in Shunde and South China Sea, both of which are located in Foshan, so the output here accounts for two-thirds of the whole country.

The delicious food in front of him probably came from thousands of miles away. Two out of every three bass you eat are from Foshan. However, who raised this fish, and who brought this ordinary delicacy across China to the table of the Chinese people?

In the domestic aquatic industry, there is a person's move, pulling the wind direction of the whole industry.

In 2014, He Huaxian transported fresh freshwater fish from Guangdong all the way northward to more than 50 cities in China, with the longest transportation time exceeding 50 hours and survival rate of more than 99%. This record is a record for the entire industry. In 2014, his business turnover was close to 2 billion yuan.

The prologue of a south-north fish transfer has just begun. The journey of a thousand miles begins with this bucket. From this moment on, the fate of these fish is tied to this bucket.

He Huaxian: Do you see, he uses bucket now, still want to add some water to come up.

Interviewer: More water, yes.

From the mouth of the pond to the shore is no more than 10 meters, people first add water in the bucket, weigh and then filter out the water.

Reporter: Is it heavy?

Fisherman: This one? Heavy.

Reporter: Can you lift it alone?

Fisherman: No.

Reporter: Why don't you pour out the water inside? It will be easy to lift it like this.

Fisherman: Not possible.

Even if heavy, people also insist on using buckets to lift fish, this is Foshan aquaculture in the heart of the law.

The moment the fish leaves the water, it is like a person suddenly frightened. After a scuffle, many fish were colored.

He Huaxian: If you don't bring water, its tail will be very red. It will fall red. As soon as it jumps up, it will be like this. The thorns will stand up, and the fish and fish will stick up.

Reporter: The scales have fallen off.

He Huaxian: The scales have fallen off, yes.

The wounded fish will not go far. Add water to the bucket, the fish will calm down, and the friction between them will become lubricated.

He Huaxian: This first link is the most important. If you don't do well in this link, it is impossible for this fish to reach fifty or sixty hours, unless you sell it in the surrounding market and can't transport it far away.

Reporter: Where will this fish go?

He Huaxian: This is from Beijing and Xi'an.

Reporter: When will you arrive in Beijing?

He Huaxian: The day after tomorrow night.

Reporter: The day after tomorrow night?

He Huaxian: Yes.

Reporter: How long does it take to open?

He Huaxian: It takes 36 hours to drive on the road.

Many years ago, people used to carry fish in baskets that could leak water. Such fish could only be sold in the surrounding area. Even today, many aquatic regions in China still feel that there is no need to lift the fish together. However, how far a fish can go is determined from the moment it comes out of the water. If the southern fish wants to turn north, it requires perfect links in every link. He Huaxian requires workers to carry water throughout the operation. Driven by He Huaxian,"operation with water" is now the law strictly followed by Foshan aquaculture industry. The change of people's ideas in a region also promotes the development of an industry.

This is the busiest time of the day. More than a dozen kinds of fish collected from various ponds in the morning arrived one after another and lined up to enter.

However, fish that were alive and kicking in the morning have changed wonderfully after an hour or two's drive.

Reporter: This fish caught.

He Huaxian: Be careful.

Reporter: This fish can be very solid in your hands as soon as you catch it.

He Huaxian: Yes.

Fish that were alive and kicking in the morning can now be easily caught.

Not only that, but after a few hours, these fish will gradually enter the dream and start their journey north. After up to 50 hours of sleep, they wake up at their destination thousands of miles away and jump off the bus as if time had never happened to them.

This is a factory that does not shut down 365 days a year. By creating a dream trip for fish, nearly 2 billion yuan of transactions were created here in 2014.

This is also a dream that Fujian guy He Huaxian dared not think of 20 years ago.

He Huaxian: We basically didn't have any money before we came to Guangdong.

He Huaxian's wife Lin Fang: I couldn't get a hundred yuan before.

In 1996,28-year-old He Huaxian, a native of Fujian Province, sold his wife's dowry ring and collected enough money to travel to Guangzhou. On his trip to Guangzhou, he found a business opportunity. Back in Fujian, He Huaxian sold the last valuable object of his wife's dowry.

He Huaxian: I told her so. I said I would take out the bracelet and sell it. After selling it, I said I would gather some money to go to Guangdong.

He Huaxian's wife Lin Fang: In fact, I didn't dare to tell my family at that time that I sold rings and bracelets. I dare not say that you go back and tell your family that the old family will feel despised.

Reporter: Will parents also feel distressed that you married badly?

He Huaxian's wife Lin Fang: Yes.

If selling dowry and supporting her husband to start a business is compared to an investment, time will testify that this is the most rewarding one in Mrs. He's life.

He Huaxian: I seem to have said something before. I said before that I would buy three catties of gold for her.
