Why do so many college students want to raise pigs?

When you walk into this pig farm in Guoli Town, Huantai County, Shandong Province, you will hear these popular music before you even get to the pig house.

The piglets in the nursery play with toys and music, and live a happy and comfortable life.

Wang Chao: "They are very happy to play. You see, they feel more comfortable when they climb up. Piglets are like children. They like to play."

Wang Chao is the owner of this pig farm. He plays with his beloved piglets for a while every day. The piglets that grew up with music have indeed been welcomed by pig dealers. In Wang Chao's farm, someone comes to collect the pigs every day. Although the price is 3 cents per catty higher than that of ordinary farmers, the pigs There is no way to keep the pigs in the barn.

Zhu Xiukai: "His pigs have a higher lean meat rate than ordinary farmers' pigs. It is better to kill them and bring them to the farm."

This year, Wang Chao is the only one raising pigs. In the third year, he already owns 11 pig houses, nearly 3,000 pigs on hand, and his annual net income will be close to 10,000 yuan. But three years ago, Wang Chao was still a college student who knew nothing about raising pigs.

In 2006, Wang Chao was admitted to Shandong University of Economics. I was very envious of the economic figure Wang Chao I met in class. Not long after I was admitted to university, I had the dream of starting my own business. In the spring of that year, Wang Chao was interning at an imported car store in Jinan. People looking at cars and buying cars came and went every day. The appearance of a customer caught Wang Chao's attention.

Wang Chao: "A man who was wearing a relatively simple dress said he wanted an imported car after entering the door. After that, I often called him for our after-sales service, and we became friends. After becoming friends, I asked him what he did, and he said he raised ducks. I was even more surprised. A duck raiser can afford a car worth more than 400,000 yuan."

Li Hongcheng: "He raises ducks. That friend told him that he could make a fortune from breeding, but some of the country's policies are better now. "

You can also make a lot of money from breeding. This is something Wang Chao has never thought about before. This unexpected contact made him very interested in agriculture.

Wang Chao: "The main reason for the short return cycle of the breeding industry is that every transaction is cash money. My family used to be engaged in construction. Compared with my family's construction industry, you are like them. Triangular debt or something like this, you will not have triangular debt."

Wang Chao lives in a big family. His uncle and father ran a business together many years ago, and the two families have always lived together. In order to prove that joining agriculture was not just a fad, Wang Chao prepared a feasibility report on pursuing farming after graduation when he was about to graduate.

Wang Chao: "If you want to do it, you have to do it big, but I don't have the funds. So I wrote a report and went to my house to fool my parents to see if I could get some money out of it."

Wang Chao’s business plan after graduation was to raise pigs. In 2017, the price of pigs was at a low point, so he decided to enter pig breeding at this time. Wang Chao wrote his own judgment in the report.

Wang Chao: "The period of pig raising is shorter than that of cattle raising, but the risk is less than that of chicken raising. The pig raising industry is like a wave (change). In 2005, There has already been a trough, and when there is a trough, there must be a peak. When there is a trough, some people have to be eliminated. The peak will come soon after the stock is reduced."

The family heard that Wang Chao was going to graduate. The idea of ??raising pigs was quite unexpected. But after hearing what he said, I felt it was reasonable and supported him to give it a try.

Wang Jipu: "If it works, let him continue to work and let him develop. If it doesn't work, just stop like this, forget it, hit some nails, and gain some knowledge yourself."

Winning the support of his family, Wang Chao has a strong financial backing for raising pigs. Because he knew nothing about raising pigs before, Wang Chao went to a nearby pig farmer to study for two months. College students learning to raise pigs were not favored at the time.

Zhang Dianbin: "I think it is impossible for a college student to stay here for three to five days and then leave."

Wang Chao not only persisted, but also believed that After completing his studies, he began to plan and design a breeding farm. He chose a piece of land in his hometown in the countryside and invested nearly 800,000 yuan in one go to build a four-row pig house. On October 14, 2011, Wang Chao introduced 3 breeding boars and 18 breeding sows at a price of nearly 10,000 yuan each. Four months after leaving school, Wang Chao began his life as a pig herder.

Although there are only 21 pigs and the four pig houses are not full yet, Wang Chao is already thinking about how to expand the farm after the sows give birth. But things went against expectations. Within a month, something happened in the pig farm. Within a week, three breeding sows died. How did the pig die? Wang Chao couldn't find the reason for a while, and he couldn't help himself.

Wang Chao: "I feel like I don't like it anywhere. I just kick it when it disobeys me."

Wang Jipu: "One pig costs close to ten thousand. During this period, He was a little downcast. ”

Raising pigs by himself made Wang Chao suffer a lot. The conditions of living with pigs were extremely poor, and it was difficult to eat a hot meal every day. Seeing a breeding pig worth 10,000 yuan per head die in his hands, he began to doubt whether the pig could be raised anymore. He became anxious and got angry. Wang Chao contracted appendicitis.

Wang Chao: "I was thinking about whether raising pigs is not suitable for me while I was in the hospital. At that time, my mother said beside me, how about we stop raising pigs and do something else. I just felt a little discouraged at that time.”

Wang Chao’s uncle had handed over the business to his son a few years ago. Wang Chao built a pig factory, and he came to help when he had time. During Wang Chao's illness, he had been taking care of the pig farm.

After recovering from his illness, Wang Chao returned to the breeding farm. He who always liked to joke became taciturn. Raising pigs was no longer happy but became difficult. After thinking about it for a few days, Wang Chao felt that it was better to quit at this time than to lose all his money, so he started to make plans. But Wang Chao did not expect that his failure to raise pigs would soon spread in the village. While raising pigs, he heard the villagers' discussions. To this day, people in the village still remember the various opinions at the time.

Villager: "I just want to see his jokes, which means that he will definitely not be able to do it well and can't make money."

Villager: "The college student is only paying for his family, he It’s not like losing your own money.”

Villager: “College students can still raise pigs, let him do it for fun.”

Wang Chao feels that even after graduating from college, he can’t raise pigs. I decided to give up raising pigs because I couldn't save my face, but this made people laugh even more. After hearing these comments, Wang Chao, who was already discouraged, gained strength and immediately gave up the idea of ????pig. He held his breath and secretly worked harder.

Wang Chao: "If I can't raise this pig well, they will look down upon me, but I must raise it well."

Pigs must be raised, but if If you continue to work as muddleheadedly as before, various problems will definitely arise. Rather than trying to figure it out yourself, it is better to find someone with experience in raising pigs to help. Yi Haiming and Wang Chao were middle school classmates. Under Yi Haiming's introduction, a breeder came to the pig farm. Although the breeder had already left Wang Chao's breeding farm, Yi Haiming still remembered him deeply when he mentioned that person.

Yi Haiming: "It was a family of three, they were all here. They really came and made a big difference to this pigsty."

The pig farm really improved this time. Things were improving, the breeding pigs began to give birth one after another, and the number of pigs in stock increased from the original 18 to nearly 10, and Wang Chao gradually breathed a sigh of relief. But within a few days of his comfortable life, Wang Chao was a little overwhelmed by the breeder he invited.

Yi Haiming: "When we were having dinner together, he often complained to me. He was so bad. During this time, he felt that his power had been evacuated and he had become a mere commander. What should I say? What should I say? Well, this technician doesn't listen to me anymore.

"

Wang Chao: "I have nothing to do all day long. I have to think about it myself. I built this pig farm. It will be my career from now on. It is impossible that what I said will not count. What is this? Feel. ”

Because he did not understand breeding techniques, the breeder he found did not take him seriously, so Wang Chao simply left the pig farm to the breeder and went to Jinan alone in anger. , went to study pig raising. In Jinan, Wang Chao participated in various pig breeding training courses organized by the Shandong Provincial Animal Husbandry Bureau. After communicating with breeding experts, Wang Chao understood that the previous pig raising methods were difficult to implement. It makes sense that irregular breeding was the cause of the death of his three breeding pigs. Studying in Jinan opened Wang Chao’s horizons.

Wang Chao: “The knowledge of pig farming is very great, and I want to come back. After that, I must raise the pigs in a modern way, raise them in a systematic way, and build my home field into a modern one. ”

After returning from Jinan, Wang Chao felt confident, and he boldly carried out his reform plan. At this time, there were many conflicts between Wang Chao and the breeders in terms of feeding methods, epidemic prevention procedures and pig farm management. The differences gradually emerged. Wang Chao wanted to make a report to record the growth status of the pigs, but the breeder felt it was unnecessary.

Wang Chao said, "You know what you know. I have raised pigs in this way for more than ten years. In my mind, I can know everything in the pig farm. "

Wang Jipu: "Compared with the old breeder, it is difficult to communicate the pig farming concept. In the end, the breeder basically stopped contacting Wang Chao. ”

The farm that Wang Chao planned to build was very different from what the old breeder had in mind. The difference in philosophy caused conflicts between the two. It didn’t take long for the breeder to leave. Wang Chao's farm. After experiencing the ups and downs of employment, Wang Chao felt that in order to raise pigs well, he must first have like-minded people, so he had the idea of ??hiring college students to be technicians in the farm.

Wang Chao: “They have professional theoretical knowledge. By communicating with them, I can make progress and at the same time bring some vitality to my pig farm. ”

Hu Yincheng is the first college technician hired by Wang Chao. He graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University and is now the technical director of the farm. With Hu Yincheng as a good helper, zoning is implemented in the farm The pigs are managed in separate houses, and vehicles entering and exiting must be strictly disinfected. Various reporting systems have been standardized, and the growth status of each pig has been recorded in detail. Not long after arriving, Hu Yincheng also told Wang Chao about a discovery he made.

Wang Chao: "Lying there, pigs that don't like to move don't look good. Your body shape looks better if you like to move." "

Is exercise good for the growth of pigs? After checking the information, Wang Chao found that what Hu Yincheng said made sense, and he also found a good way to exercise pigs.

Wang Chao: “In the UK, there is legislation for pigs, and they have created a pig welfare program. One of them is to provide toys for piglets to make them feel better and grow faster. ”

Hu Yincheng’s discovery allowed the piglets in the pig farm to play with toys. The pigs were living happily, and they were also working happily. Wang Chao and Hu Yincheng became good partners, and the pig farm developed smoothly. Before the Spring Festival of 2018, Wang Chao's farm already had pig heads in stock. This was the happiest day for Wang Chao in his two years of raising pigs, not only because of the large number of pigs sold in the farm, but also because he had the experience of raising pigs himself.

Wang Chao: "I deliberately kept fourteen pigs for pork on this night. When we were raising pigs, many villagers said they could not raise them successfully, but I proved that I could not only raise pigs, but also produce meat. "

Wang Chao came to the village to bring pork, which became a new thing in the village. After being slaughtered by the meat factory, the fourteen pigs were all sold out in two days. The college students also raised pigs, and now the people in the village His views have also changed.

Villager: “Look at what Wang Chao is doing, although he looked down upon him, he is doing quite well. ”

Villager: “I didn’t expect college students to be able to raise pigs and develop a very good enterprise.”

"

Villager: "In the past two days, I and a group of people went to see how big it was. I also thought about development and asked him to develop me and take the lead in getting rich. ”

Wang Chao got a taste of the benefits of hiring college students. Under the recommendation of Director Hu, Wang Chao’s breeding farm hired three more college technicians. However, with the expansion of the breeding scale, Wang Chao wanted to When we hired some college students again, we failed because many young people didn't like the working environment in pig farms. Why can't we find some students to do internships in our farms and change their attitude towards pig farming? After graduation, are you willing to work in a pig farm? In July 2019, a group of interns majoring in animal husbandry came to Wang Chao’s farm.

Wang Chao: “Like this. Eight interns came from the General Manager, this one is the supervisor, and the supervisor is explaining to them about pigs. "

In addition to providing room and board, Wang Chao will also pay these students a salary of RMB 10,000 per month. When it comes to this internship life, these college students have many feelings.

Reporter: " How long have you been here?"

Zhang Zhen: "More than twenty days. "

Reporter: "How do you feel? "

Han Chuan: "Very good. "

Wang Xiaoyun: "I almost kept this pig as a pet. I gave it a bath, and then when feeding it, I patted its head and told it to eat quickly. "

Reporter: "What do you think about working in this pig factory after graduation? "

Wang Xiaoyun: "Very good. "

Han Chuan: "It should be no problem. After we learn this profession, we should do this. ”

At the end of the interview, Wang Chao also went out to raise his piglets for the first time. The pig man took a fancy to his team of college students. After discussion, the farmer will raise piglets from Wang Chao. Chao will introduce piglet heads at once, and Wang Chao will take advantage of having several college technicians to provide rare after-sales technical services to the farmer. Those college technicians in the farm will continue to assist Wang Chao in his success. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
