Lu Xuedong, a farmer in Bei'an, relies on the "net" to raise pigs on the road to prosperity.

Recently, Lu Xuedong, a farmer from Jianmin Village, suburban Township, Bei'an City, Heilongjiang Province, happily drove back a brand-new minivan from the city. He happily told the author that he earned more than 40,000 yuan for buying a car by raising pigs on his "net".

In 2000, Lu Xuedong began to think about getting rich by raising pigs. At first, due to small fights, coupled with the lack of timely grasp of market information, the benefits were mediocre. In the spring of 2004, he learned in other places that the computer Internet can not only easily find the price information about the sale of pigs, but also learn the knowledge of raising and breeding for free. So, despite the opposition of his family, he spent 5000 yuan to move back to a brand-new computer and connected to the broadband. At the same time, the scale has been expanded and self-breeding has been carried out. At the beginning of winter, the price of live pigs fell. Farmers in the same village mostly sell at a "tearful price" of 4.80 yuan per kilogram, but Lu Xuedong believes that the market price of pigs will rise sharply in the near future by paying attention to the "China Pig net" and communicating with farmers from other places. Facts proved his judgment, more than half a month later, the market price of live pigs gradually rose to 6.60 yuan per kilogram. Lu Xuedong chose the opportunity to sell and made a fortune. At that time, more than 10 farmers in the village gave up raising pigs because they lost money that year.

In the early winter of 2006, Lu Xuedong learned on the Internet that the stock of live pigs had dropped significantly due to the emergence of classical swine fever in many areas. He increased his investment again, bought 10 sows at once, and managed scientifically according to the knowledge of pig disease prevention that he learned online. In the early spring of 2007, pig prices were expected to rise again. In one spring, Lu Xuedong earned more than 20,000 yuan. Today, Lu Xuedong has become not only a big farmer in the village, but also a wise pig farmer in the village. Led by Lu Xuedong, the number of farmers in the village who buy computers has increased to more than 20, and more than 10 households have been connected to broadband and embarked on the road to "online" prosperity.
