The story of a 29-year-old rural guy engaged in aquaculture entrepreneurship in Sichuan.

The 29-year-old Sichuan rural boy started aquaculture, and now the annual output value reaches 654.38+0 million yuan. Let me share a 29-year-old entrepreneurial story with you. I hope you like it! Welcome to read!

Partnership: from engineering students to aquaculture experts

Li Kaijiang, 29, is from Wayao Village, Purun Town, Longchang County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province. In the past, he often helped his family to do farm work in winter and summer vacations and had a certain understanding of agriculture. After passing the college entrance examination, he entered the metallurgical major in panzhihua university and became an engineering student. During his school days, Li Kaijiang worked part-time and worked part-time, and also held cram schools in winter and summer vacations, earning a lot of living expenses. "Two months is almost one or two thousand yuan. Entrepreneurship has always been my dream. "

One day in the summer vacation of 20 12, Li Kaijiang talked with his childhood sweetheart Lu Fujian. Because both of them had entrepreneurial ideas, when Lu Fujian mentioned that he was developing special aquaculture in Gaoshan Village and invited Li Kaijiang to partner, Li Kaijiang readily agreed.

"I do, but my parents don't understand. I feel that I have finally been admitted to the university and walked out of the countryside, but I have to return to the countryside, and the aquaculture industry has a large investment and high risk. " However, after many contacts with Lu Fujian and other partners and on-the-spot understanding of the situation, Li Kaijiang was very optimistic about the agricultural market and persuaded his parents to lend tens of thousands of yuan. * * * * invested more than 654.38 million yuan in stocks with his own savings, and established a new loach breeding base in Purun Town in partnership with others to artificially breed loach seedlings and Wu Bai fry.

The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Born in engineering, he knows nothing about aquaculture, which is very professional and can only be learned from scratch.

When changing water for white mullet in 20 14, the water in Likai River was too high, which caused more than 40,000 white mullet to run out and enter the fish pond, with a loss of nearly 40,000 yuan. "Because white mullet will? Kill each other? Once you enter the fish pond, there is not much left. "

What if there is no technology? Then learn!

"There are many large-scale breeding companies around Purun. I go to see and learn as soon as I have time." Li Kaijiang said that as a "rural baby", she is familiar with everything in the countryside. When she was young, all the big farmers around her knew or met her. She had the cheek to study, and no one would say anything.

Li Kaijiang not only learned from "soil experts", but also used his spare time to learn various theoretical knowledge through the Internet, books and other channels. He combined with the actual situation of the breeding base, repeatedly observed the practice and summarized the refining experience. In addition, under the guidance of experts from Longchang Fisheries and Fisheries Bureau, Li Kaijiang gradually mastered many techniques of loach spawning, hatching and standardized seedling raising.

Hit hard: partners are separated, leaving only themselves.

"When we first joined the company, our monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan." Li Kaijiang said that in the first two years of the development of the breeding base, only a large amount of investment was seen, but there was almost no benefit. Expenditure is far greater than income, and several partners can only get one month's salary from others a year.

Gradually, some partners couldn't hold on, some began to leave, and others joined one after another. People come and go, only Li Kaijiang and Lu Fujian persisted.

In difficult times, all levels and departments in Longchang lend a helping hand. With the help of government departments, Li Kaijiang's team began to try to integrate town and village resources, further expand the scale of breeding, and become a breeding alliance integrating production, sales and management, which not only developed itself, but also promoted the common development of neighboring farmers, providing farmers with better technology.

After more than four years of development, Li Kaijiang's team's breeding base has flourished, with the breeding area expanded from the initial 10 mu to more than 60 mu, and the annual output value increased from the initial 10 million yuan to more than 800,000 yuan. It has been recognized as a provincial-level college students' entrepreneurial technology incubation base, Sichuan University Graduate Pioneer Park (incubation base) and Longchang Youth Entrepreneurship Demonstration Base.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. Li Kaijiang will never know that a bigger Waterloo is approaching quietly.

Since 20 16, the market price in loach seedlings has fallen sharply, from the initial 50 cents to 40 cents, and Li Kaijiang's breeding base has suffered heavy losses. "For example, a batch of 40,000 loach seedlings can be sold for 20,000 yuan, but now it can only be sold to 1600 yuan. The difference is too big. It is estimated that the loss of labor and other inputs is too great. "

Continuous losses, coupled with the continuous decline in loach seedlings prices, made the remaining partners gradually discouraged and left one after another. At the end of 20 16, all the other three partners, including Lu Fujian, resigned, leaving only Li Kaijiang.

"I was a little discouraged at the time, but I felt that since I contracted the land of the people, I was responsible for the people and my own entrepreneurial dreams." Li Kaijiang immediately took over all the affairs of the breeding base and began to explore new ways out.

Transformation frog breeding: the annual output value of the base is over one million.

Neijiang, Chengdu and Chongqing Li Kaijiang went to many places to conduct market research, and found that the frog breeding market in various places was in good condition, with large demand but small supply.

The goal was set, but the frog breeding technology was more difficult than loach breeding technology, so Li Kaijiang found a frog breeding base in Dongxing District to learn the technology. In two months, Li Kaijiang ate and lived in the base, followed the "experts" to go uphill and study hard, and soon mastered the breeding technology and skills.

20 17 March, Li Kaijiang took out 1 mu of paddy field for trial planting. After careful breeding, after 4 months, the frog 1000 kg was successfully sold, with an output value of more than 40,000 yuan.

In March this year, Li Kaijiang expanded the frog breeding scale to more than 10 mu, plus more than 50 mu of yellow Latin and white mullet. By the end of this year, Li Kaijiang's aquaculture base is expected to achieve an annual output value of over one million yuan. "I just signed a contract in Songlin Village to transfer 30 mu of paddy fields, all of which are used to raise frogs." Li Kaijiang calculated that by the end of next year, the entire breeding base is expected to achieve an annual output value of 2.5 million yuan.

Seeing that Li Kaijiang's aquaculture industry is booming, the surrounding villagers are eager to try. Huang Sheng, a villager in group 4 of Wayao Village, has found Li Kaijiang many times, hoping to learn to breed frogs with him. Li Kaijiang is not hiding anything, saying that he is willing to teach for free as long as there are villagers who are willing to learn.

When he became rich, he did not forget the people in his hometown. When choosing base workers, Li Kaijiang often gives priority to poor households and villagers with land transfer. Zeng Yuanchun, a villager from nine groups in Qinggang Village, is one of them.

From agricultural planting with an annual income of only 1000 yuan to the current monthly income of 2,000 yuan, Zeng Yuanchun feels much younger and full of enthusiasm. "I have worked in the base for two years, two thousand a month, plus the annual land transfer fee, and I have an income of nearly 30,000 yuan a year, which is much better than farming."

Nowadays, driven by Li Kaijiang, the traditional farming mode of Purun Town has undergone great changes. The breeding varieties have changed from the traditional "four big fish" to high-profit varieties such as white mullet, yellow frog and hairy crab. Instead of copying the past farming experience, more scientific and technological farming methods have been added to make it easier for villagers to work nearby.
