Liu Peisheng made a fortune by raising shrimps

"A man is not rich when he is rich. Only when everyone is rich is he really rich." "in the past, I saw that there were more surplus and idle labor force in rural areas, and most of them were 'three without personnel', one without production funds, two without production technology, and three without access to work. They were vulnerable groups in society, had no means of living, and even found it difficult for their children to go to school. I have been thinking about how to help these people in need." -- Liu Peisheng

"Liu Peisheng became rich by raising shrimp. When he got rich, he never forgot his fellow villagers and actively led the villagers to the road of prosperity. He also subsidizes the local school every year and donates money to the village association for the elderly. At present, many farmers living in villa-style buildings in the village have received his help, and Liu Peisheng has contributed to the changes in this village. " A few days ago, the reporter walked into Baiqing Village, Daao Town, where chic villa-style buildings were arranged on both sides of the wide street, and the village cadres enthusiastically introduced the deeds of Liu Peisheng.

The family became a training center.

When he came to Liu Peisheng's house, more than a dozen villagers were sitting around Liu Peisheng, smoking hookahs while discussing farming techniques and experience.

"after years of practice, Liu Peisheng has acquired the essentials of scientific aquaculture, constantly updating knowledge, being good at summing up experience, and gradually becoming a famous local aquaculture 'native expert'." Village cadres said that in 2004, Liu Peisheng was elected vice president of Daao Town Fisheries Association. He was rated as an assistant aquatic engineer in 2006. In 2007, it was awarded the title of "the fourth batch of outstanding young and middle-aged experts and top-notch talents in Jiangmen City". In 2008, he was awarded the title of "the third batch of top professional and technical talents in Xinhui area" and was appointed as a member of the professional and technical expert committee of Xinhui area.

"he unreservedly shared his farming skills with everyone." Villager Mai Changrong told reporters. After work every day, Mai Changrong likes to visit Liu Peisheng's house when he has something to do. "to sit in his house is to make money. He not only told you how to solve the recent problems encountered in shrimp farming, but also provided a lot of information to provide us with prenatal, mid-and post-natal services. "

Now, Liu Peisheng is a recognized aquaculture consultant in the village, and his family has also become a training center for nearby farmers. Every night, no less than 10 farmers come to his home to exchange their farming experience.

Lead farmers to get rich together

In the early days, Liu Peisheng completed the capital accumulation by setting up a sunflower factory. In 1993, he set his sights on the aquaculture industry. By setting up feed stores, operating shrimp fry farms and contracted fish ponds to cultivate Penaeus vannamei, he achieved good economic benefits and became one of the local people who got rich first. Last year, the feed store he operated sold 2100 tons of feed, cultivated 1 billion shrimp fry, contracted 1410 mu of shrimp ponds, produced 1500 tons of fish and shrimp, and promoted 500 tons of aquatic products, with a total annual output value of 31 million yuan and an annual net income of 2.3 million yuan.

"in the past, I saw that there were more surplus and idle labor force in rural areas, and most of them were 'three without personnel', one without production funds, two without production technology, and three without access to work. They were vulnerable groups in society, had no means of living, and even found it difficult for their children to go to school. I have been thinking about how to help these people in need." Liu Peisheng said that he decided to use funds to contract more land in the form of joint ventures to help these poor people raise shrimp, so as to solve their employment problems and lead them to the road of getting rich through labor.

In 2008 alone, there were 32 peasant households associated with Liu Peisheng, covering an area of 1380 mu. Joint venture households each make a profit of more than 50, 000 yuan, and some even make a profit of 300000 yuan. "over the past decade, more than 100 local farmers have embarked on the road to prosperity through aquaculture with his help." The village cadre said.

Help gamblers "get back to life"

In the early years, Feng Huapei, a villager in Baiqing Village, lost all his savings because he was addicted to gambling, and he was so heavily in debt that he could not even afford his son's tuition, so his wife had to go out to work. "I had no human dignity at that time. Not only the villagers in this village, but also the villagers in the neighboring villages dodged when they saw me. " Feng Huapei said with emotion that at that time, some villagers taught their children that if they did not study hard, they would grow up just like Feng Huapei, a gambler.

After Liu Peisheng learned about Feng Huapei's situation, he came to his door many times to persuade him and contributed money to raise shrimp in partnership with him. After six months of hard work, Feng Huapei made a profit of 30,000 yuan by raising shrimp. Seeing the hope of life, Feng Huapei worked even harder, getting up in the morning and in the dark, and sometimes even slept in the shrimp farm to take care of the shrimps. When he encountered problems that he did not understand, he asked Liu Peisheng. The success of shrimp farming in recent years has made him a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan. "now the villagers don't call me a gambler anymore. Happy! I live a dignified life now. " Feng Huapei's smile was particularly bright in the field: "Liu Peisheng gave me a new life."
