The persistence of a big pig farmer

In Donggou Town, Liuhe District, a modern large-scale pig farm covering an area of 1 10 mu is under construction, and the investor is Sun Xiaohua, a large pig farmer in Nanjing. She told reporters that the pig farm is expected to be completed in April next year, and the stock of pigs will reach 1 000 after completion.

In Nanjing, there are few pig farms with 10,000 heads, and there are almost no pig farms with an individual scale of 10,000 heads. Sun Xiaohua, who has done a great job in raising pigs in Nanjing market, married to Nanjing from his hometown in Shanxi more than 20 years ago, worked as a vegetable farmer and set up a stall, and made a fortune with his unusual diligence and tenacity.

She chose to do business when others were still honestly farming.

Sun Xiaohua's hometown is Yuncheng. After graduating from high school, he worked as an announcer in a regional radio station. 1985, her husband was demobilized after serving as a soldier in Yuncheng. Sun Xiaohua gave up his job and returned to Nanjing with the expectation of a big city.

When I arrived in Nanjing, all my beautiful dreams were shattered by reality. Sun Xiaohua's husband's family lives in Shazhou, and her elderly parents and two younger brothers are squeezed into two thatched houses that often leak rain. The only source of livelihood for the whole family is a few acres of vegetable fields. Plus, she doesn't adapt to the climate in Nanjing, and her whole body is covered with red pimples and her feet are swollen. The huge gap between reality and ideal made Sun Xiaohua cry several times.

However, there is no turning arrow before opening the bow. Sun Xiaohua told himself that since he chose this road, he had nothing to regret. She borrowed nearly 10,000 yuan from Shanxi, came back to build three houses, and got a 1 mu vegetable plot from her in-laws. Sun Xiaohua officially took root in Nanjing. In order to support the family, her husband went to work in a nearby iron mine, and all farm work was left to Sun Xiaohua.

Sun Xiaohua has never planted land before, but every acre of land has to be handed over to the production team for 4,000 kilograms of vegetables every year to get food stamps. Sun Xiaohua is confused, but she believes that what others can do will never let her down. While groping for her own, she asked others for advice and specialized in some scales. Unpopular? Some vegetables, such as wax gourd and Chinese cabbage, completed the task of the production team in the first year.

After planting vegetables for two years, Sun Xiaohua was not satisfied. When can we change our present life just by growing vegetables? ? To change the embarrassing life, we must find another way out.

Sun Xiaohua tried to set up a stall in front of his house for the first time. The business of the stall is surprisingly good and the profits are very rich. 1 A wholesale balloon of 5 cents can be sold for 50 cents. At the end of the day, Sun Hua can earn fifty or sixty yuan. At that time, it was equivalent to a month's income of others. Sun Xiaohua thinks that small business is the right way.

Later, Sun Xiaohua stopped farming and began to sell shoes, socks and clothes? Big ones? The range of stalls has also expanded from the front of the house to the Xishan Bridge and Meishan Iron and Steel Plant. Because I often run, the supply is sufficient, the business is getting better and better, and the economic conditions at home have begun to change.

? The first refrigerator at home was bought with the money earned from selling clothes. ? Sun Xiaohua proudly told reporters that the first refrigerator at home at that time was also the first refrigerator of the whole production team. Later, the family added cookers, electric fans, televisions and so on.

After several years of small business, Sun Xiaohua is considering changing his business philosophy. But this step is wrong. Sun Xiaohua said that at that time, I only heard that opening a restaurant would make money. Without thinking too much, I invested more than 5,000 yuan, rented a facade near Chaotian Palace and opened one? North Hotel? Sell snacks. There are many doorways to open a restaurant, and it is not easy for her to do it well as a layman. The restaurant has been open for nearly a year, and business has been unable to go up. She decisively closed the store.

When she almost lost all her money, she chose to stick to it.

Opening a restaurant was no good, and Sun Xiaohua began to think of other ways. At that time, Yurun Company came to set up a factory near their production team. When Sun Xiaohua saw that many food scraps were thrown away in vain, he felt very sorry, so he came up with the idea of raising pigs with scraps.

Do it. 1April, 1999, Sun Xiaohua built 20 pigsty in front of his house, spent nearly 30,000 yuan, bought 200 piglets, and began to try to raise pigs.

Sun Xiaohua, who has never had experience in raising pigs, thinks it is not difficult to raise pigs, but her first experience in raising pigs taught her a painful lesson. Because no epidemic prevention measures were taken, 200 pigs died of plague three months later, leaving only 16 pigs. At that time, these pigs had been raised to about 50 kilograms. According to the price of live pigs at that time, the loss of Sun Xiaohua was at least 70,000 yuan.

The first failure to raise pigs brought Sun Xiaohua not only economic losses, but also family conflicts. When she decided to raise pigs, her husband was worried and didn't support it. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the pig's money was almost lost, and the couple had a fierce quarrel. In a rage, Sun Xiaohua ran to the railway station with her children, ready to go home.

It was a hot summer, and Sun Xiaohua rushed to the railway station, and he couldn't be calm for a long time. Her family's incomprehension and lack of support made her extremely sad. She sat in the railway station for a long time, and fragments of her past life kept flashing in her mind. Considering so many hard days, it is difficult to persist. Why don't you insist this time? After calming down, her indomitable personality gained the upper hand again. If you just run back to your hometown, it's simply running away. Raising pigs is not high-tech. If others can do it well, I will do it well in Sun Xiaohua. ? She finally chose to go home and made up her mind to raise pigs well.

When she reached a well-off life, she chose to be big.

After returning home, Sun Xiaohua didn't talk to his family about raising pigs, but secretly paid attention to learning all kinds of knowledge about raising pigs. After carefully summing up the past experience and lessons, Sun Xiaohua felt that raising pigs was not a difficult problem as long as he mastered scientific methods.

Sun Xiaohua plans to raise pigs again. In 2000, a pig farm in Xikou Village of Xishan Bridge was looking for a contractor. Sun Xiaohua didn't hesitate. She borrowed 300 thousand from the bank without telling her family.

In order to do a good job of pig epidemic prevention from the source, Sun Xiaohua decided to buy his own breeding pigs. She specially invited the village veterinarian and went to Zhenjiang to select 50 healthy breeding pigs. Invest 40,000 yuan. In the process of raising pigs, we also adopt scientific methods, hire veterinarians to stay in pig farms, make specific arrangements for various epidemic prevention work in pig farms, and set strict standards for pig feed and drugs.

With the scientific method of raising pigs, Sun Xiaohua started a difficult career. She gets up before dawn in the morning, and sometimes wakes up at three or four in the morning. She also got up immediately and rode to the pig farm. In the evening, she often goes to other people's homes to turn off the lights and sleep before she goes home. Fortunately, the second pig raising went well. In 2002, Sun Xiaohua invested 300,000 yuan to buy 6 mu of land near the pig farm and built a pigsty of more than 3,000 square meters. The scale of pig farm increased from 1 1,000 to 3,000. Husband saw it? Is the uncooked rice cooked? No longer opposed, began to support her wholeheartedly.

In 2003, pig farms encountered problems again. That summer, the continuous rainstorm flooded the whole pig farm, the piglets were drowned and the sows miscarried. Sun Xiaohua looked at this scene, his heart ached. She didn't even go home, so she lived in a simple dormitory next to the pig farm. The dormitory was also soaked, and she couldn't care less. During the day, she tried to drain the water to save the pigs. In the evening, she took a stool and sat next to the pigsty, staying up all night. ? I can't sleep anyway! ? She said. She lost at least 200,000 yuan in this disaster.

Sun Xiaohua is an unusually tough person. She just relies on meticulous care for the pig farm? Care? I survived and paid off the original 300 thousand loan. The scale of the pig farm has gradually expanded, and now there are 4000 pigs.

In June this year, she borrowed 2 million yuan to raise 6 million yuan, won the land of 1 10 mu in Donggou Town, Liuhe, and began to build a pig farm with a scale of 10,000 heads.

In April next year, the new pig farm will be completed and used. Relying on large modern pig farms, Sun Xiaohua plans to develop its pig industry into an industrial chain. Is she registering? Nanjing huaye co., ltd? Aquaculture, meat processing, feed processing and organic crop cultivation will be developed in the future.

Sun Xiaohua said that along the way, she learned something. First, she pays attention to current events and always follows the steps of the country's reform and opening up. The second is to win government support. In recent years, the encouragement and support of government departments is an important spiritual support for her to overcome many difficulties. In particular, the construction of Liuhe 10,000 pig farms received 600,000 yuan of financial support funds.

As a model worker in Nanjing and a member of jianye district CPPCC, Sun Xiaohua said that she would continue to make greater efforts to expand the pig breeding market in Nanjing, prevent the pork price from fluctuating greatly, and let the citizens of Nanjing eat meat with confidence.
