From firefighter to "commander"

"Hey, are you Commander Zheng? Please send at least five cartons of eggs to Lianjie immediately, as soon as possible. " "all right, I'll bring it to you right away." This is the phone call between Zheng Yi, a major chicken farmer in Jinpen Village, Tiane Township, Renshou County, and a group of heads of food groups in Chuanwei Iron and Steel Group, Lianjie Town, Weiyuan County.

Zheng Yi, who is known as the "commander of the armed forces" by many people, is a 29-year-old high school education and Communist Party member. After he retired from the fire brigade, because he became the largest professional chicken, duck, and fruit farmer in the township, he was respectfully known as the "commander of the armed forces" by the local cadres and masses. "

High school students stepped into the green barracks.

Zheng Yi, born in June 1981, struggled to make progress from the first grade of primary school because of the training of his family's poverty. By the time he graduated from Lujia High School, he was rated as "three good students" every semester. When he was in high school, he was judged as an "excellent member of the Communist Youth League" by the League Committee for two years in a row. " When he graduated from high school, he was excellent in moral and academic studies, and many teachers thought he had a good chance of being admitted to the university, but he missed out on the university by a margin of one point. Although he had no chance to go to college, he was not pessimistic and disappointed. In November 1998, he resolutely responded to the number of the party and the government and signed up for enlistment. he came to the fire detachment of the armed police force in Xiangfan City, Hubei Province as a soldier, and served the motherland with practical actions.

During his two-year barracks career in the fire detachment, he gave full play to his own high level of education, open-minded and eager to learn. With the help of veteran soldiers, he studied hard and practiced his fire fighting skills. He went to the police more than 60 times and successfully completed his duty. Especially in the local flood fighting and rescue battle in July 2000, he and his comrades-in-arms persisted for four days and four nights, rescuing more than 1000 victims, more than 40 vehicles, and the whole detachment won praise from all walks of life. In two years, he was praised twice by the detachment. In the winter of 2001, he obeyed orders and returned to his hometown.

Zheng Yi said with deep experience: "it is my military career in the past two years that has not only exercised my body, but also exercised my indomitable will, which laid a solid foundation for me to gain a firm foothold in the later market economy."

After returning to his hometown to start a business, he first became a "chicken commander".

Long before Zheng Yi joined the army, his father Zheng Wenfeng set up a small chicken farm at home, with an annual net income of more than 30, 000 yuan for 1300 laying hens, which became a famous professional chicken farmer in compound Township at that time, and was later elected as a deputy to the first people's Congress of Meishan City. After Zheng Yi retired from the army and returned to his hometown, after various market investigations and analysis, he felt that there were great market prospects for the development of the chicken industry. Only by expanding the scale of breeding and expanding the area of chicken farms can we form market advantages, enhance the vitality of market competition, and earn more money. With the strong support of rural cadres and local villagers, Zheng Yi and his father chose another location and invested more than 40, 000 yuan to build another chicken farm covering an area of 4 mu, expanding the scale of raising chickens to more than 4000.

At a time when the whole family was looking forward to a bright future, no one expected that one night in mid-July of that year, a sudden storm blew down the chicken farm, causing him to lose nothing: more than 4000 laying hens were all crushed to death. Chicken cages and medicines worth more than 20000 yuan were all scrapped, resulting in a direct economic loss of 100000 she yuan. Seeing such heavy losses, Zheng Yi's mother planned to stop raising chickens, and his father's mind was shaken. But Zheng Yi insisted on regrouping his old business, setting up a chicken farm and running a stronger and larger chicken farm. He said to his parents, "the road to starting a business is not plain sailing, and you have to withstand setbacks on the way to life." After persuading the parents, with the strong support of the compound credit union, a loan of 60, 000 yuan was used to rebuild a larger chicken farm and buy back 6000 well-bred chickens from Chongqing to raise. After fine breeding, on the eve of the Spring Festival that year, these 6000 chickens began to lay eggs on the market and sold them at a good price. Seeing that his son was so shrewd, the father gave up the position of head of the chicken farm to Zheng Yi. Since then, Zheng Yi has been called "chicken commander" by local cadres, masses and merchants. In 2002, he joined Communist Party of China with honor.

Chicken plague is the natural enemy of chicken farms. After becoming a "chicken commander," Zheng Yi constantly developed ideas in practice to study the pathological changes of chicks, and under the guidance of doctors in Lujia Animal Husbandry Central Station, to find a new way to control chicken germs with quick effect, low cost and remarkable effect. It was this pioneering and innovative way of defending against chicken disease that made his chicken farm safe in the outbreak of "bird flu" viral chicken plague across the country the year before last, and made a lot of money in the market leisurely. After that, he studied the formulation reform of chicken feed. After hundreds of repeated comparisons in the past two years, we finally found a new type of self-made feed with low cost, fast growth, no chemical hormones and high laying rate. After solving the prevention of chicken disease and improving the feed formula, the cost has been reduced. The breeding scale of the chicken farm of Commander Zheng has expanded from 6000 to more than 10000 at present, with a total annual output value of 850000 yuan and a net income of more than 150000 yuan. the products sell well in Chengdu, Weiyuan, Renshou, Wang Yang, Bao Fei, Lujia, Fujia, Tiane, Hejia, Shijing and other places.
