In most people's minds, cattle farming is seen as a relatively costly animal husbandry.
However, in a rural area of Hepu County, Guangxi, there is an elderly man who raised 4,000 head of cattle and succeeded in reducing the cost of breeding to almost zero.
Shockingly, he did not gain his wealth by ** cow, but used cow dung to achieve his dream of becoming a billionaire.
How the hell did this uncle achieve this?
Produced and sold by itself, and began to raise cattle.
Wong Bing Kuen is not only the owner of a restaurant, but also the operator of a critically acclaimed distillery.
The medicinal liquor he produced was loved by consumers in the market, which led to a continuous increase in the production volume of the distillery. However, as production gradually increased, a new challenge emerged – how to properly deal with the growing problem of distiller's grains.
Initially, Wong distributed the lees to nearby livestock farmers free of charge so that they could raise livestock.
As the production scale of the distillery has gradually increased, the amount of distiller's grains produced has greatly exceeded the actual needs and processing capacity of nearby farmers.
This prompted Wong to think about how to solve this problem by producing and selling it himself.
He began to think about how to turn the lees into a resource that he could use.
To achieve this vision, Wong began to explore a number of different avenues.
Wong Bing-kuen once thought about using distiller's grains as feed for animals**. He experimented with a variety of animals, including fish and pigs.
But he found that the animals were not very well suited to digesting sake lees. Fish eat in small quantities and cannot effectively consume large quantities of sake lees.
Although pigs eat a large amount of food, they produce a large amount of excrement, and these excrements have a very strong odor and are very difficult to deal with.
After several rounds of experimentation and optimization, Wong Bingquan finally decided to devote himself to cattle breeding.
He held the view that cattle eat a very large amount of food, can consume distiller's grains efficiently, and that cow manure is easier to dispose of than pig manure and does not have a pungent odor.
In order to ensure the abundance of cattle grass**, Wong Bingquan built a large-scale cattle farm on a vast land and successfully raised nearly 4,000 cattle.
Therefore, no matter how much sake lees the distillery makes, it can be disposed of properly.
Wong also observed that in addition to consuming sake lees, cattle can also produce other products such as high-quality beef and milk.
The successful sale of this batch of products has brought him additional financial benefits.
Healthy cattle farming and cow manure crisis.
After using sake lees for a while, Wong Ping-kuen realized a new problem: distiller's grains alone could not meet the needs of cattle, and they needed to be paired with other foods in moderation to ensure their health.
Wong was determined to find answers and sought help from an experienced cattle expert.
The expert explained to him that, given the large amount of cattle they eat, relying solely on distiller's grains could lead to nutritional deficiencies or other health risks.
He also made a suggestion to Wong to look for a mixture that would provide a variety of vitamins and minerals.
In order to develop this feed formula, Wong began to visit nearby farms and markets to find the most suitable ingredients for him.
Eventually, he discovered a fruit residue rich in protein and fiber – watermelon rind.
Wong has recognised that these peels are rich in vitamins and minerals, making them ideal for making perfect cattle feed.
He quickly got in touch with several local fruit factories and expected them to give him the remaining watermelon rinds for free.
After months of unremitting efforts, Wong Bingquan successfully used watermelon rinds and other ingredients to create the perfect cattle feed.
This change has significantly reduced the cost of raising cattle and has resulted in a significant improvement in the health of the cattle.
But a new challenge emerged.
Although Wong has reached feed self-sufficiency, he found another headache in the process of raising cattle.
The large amount of cow manure that accumulates every day is difficult to dispose of properly.
Wong is troubled by the traditional method of cow manure treatment because it is time-consuming and wastes resources.
At this decisive moment, Wong Bingquan did not give up his efforts.
In contrast, he chose a more proactive strategy to face the problem.
Energy regeneration, the road to environmental protection.
He soon learned that a senior had raised a large number of cows and had discovered an efficient way to use cow manure – giving it to farmers in the fields as nourishment, while also building a biogas digester to save money on fuel costs.
Wong quickly took steps to build his own biogas digester.
This measure not only effectively solves the waste problem, but also creates jobs for local villagers, thus earning a high reputation in the local area.
Influenced by Wong Bingquan's model, *** is particularly favored by him, and often visits the site in person to inspect.
Wong was very excited about this and strengthened his determination to further expand his career.
To ensure the company's energy self-sufficiency, Wong hired technicians to study the fermentation and purification process of biogas.
At present, the daily biogas produced by the cow manure tank is sufficient to meet the energy needs of the winery and the farm.
Not only does this significantly reduce production costs, but the company's carbon footprint is also significantly reduced, making it known as a model for local environmental protection.
Wong also recognises that it is not enough to rely on cow dung, and that we need to find more potential resources.
Therefore, he looked around for experience and Xi the success of his predecessors.
Wong eventually learned how to use earthworms to digest leftover cow dung and use it to feed edible fungi.
This method not only disposes of excess waste, but also successfully cultivates edible mushrooms that are rich in protein and fiber.
Not only are they delicious, but they are also very nutritious.
At present, Wong Bingquan has launched the sales activities of his brand edible mushroom products in the market, which has won wide acclaim from consumers.
Wong Bingquan's cattle farm, which produces up to 80 tonnes of cow manure per day, has set up a special processing workshop to process this cow manure into bagged organic manure for sale, which has also opened up new profit opportunities for him.
After careful calculation, from the perspective of organic fertilizer alone, each cow can contribute up to 40,000 yuan of income to the enterprise every year.
Coupled with the whole industrial chain, the income brought by a cow has reached 60,000 yuan per year, and the annual income of Huang Bingquan has reached a small target of 100 million yuan.
Prior to this, Wong was only a mechanic mechanic and had faced the dilemma of losing his job.
From an unemployed worker to a well-known entrepreneur.
Wong was born in 1953 into a financially strapped family, and his father expected him to study hard and Xi and become a worthy person.
However, due to a variety of factors, Wong only completed his secondary education and began to work outside the home to supplement his family's income.
Wong tried a variety of occupations, such as apprenticeship and maintenance work in a factory, but he was eventually cut off by the factory when the workers lost their jobs.
As a result, Wong Bingquan started running his mechanic shop, and his life gradually changed for the better.
Subsequently, in the early stages of China's reform and opening up, the Guangdong region welcomed a large number of people, which promoted the rapid development of tourism.
Wong jumped at the chance and launched his catering business in 1986.
He named the restaurant"East Park Restaurant", and always follow the purpose of honest service, so it has been warmly welcomed by many diners.
With the passage of time, the popularity of "East Garden Restaurant" has continued to grow and it has become one of the famous local brands.
At the same time, Wong is beginning to consider how to replicate this successful model in other regions.
He noticed a special demand in the market – the increasing demand for health supplements, and the popularity of his own unique recipe for medicinal liquor.
He plans to use these advantages to create a second industry, the "Dongyuan Pharmaceutical Distillery", and dedicate himself to promoting the unique products of his own brand.
Now he has once again achieved a surge in wealth with cow dung.
Wong's experience shows us the importance of innovative thinking and the courage to lead, which is the key to the success of many entrepreneurs.
Use cow dung to get rich.
In recent years, due to the increased focus on environmental protection and sustainable development, people have begun to re-evaluate and tap the potential value of cow dung.
Cow dung, which was once considered a waste product, has now become very popular in the eyes of many people because of its rich nutritional value and wide application potential.
When it comes to the recycling of cow manure, there are many different methods. On the one hand, cow manure can not only be used as an organic fertilizer for farmland, providing abundant nutrients for crops, but also optimizing the structure of the soil and enhancing its fertility.
Compared with chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers for cow manure are more environmentally friendly and can reduce the degree of dependence on chemical fertilizers.
On the other hand, cow manure can be used to produce biomass energy, such as biogas and bioethanol.
Through digester fermentation, cow manure can produce clean biogas for power generation and heating;
After special treatment, cow manure can also be converted into bioethanol and used as an alternative fuel.
Cow dung is not only widely used in agriculture and energy, but also has considerable economic potential.
Some farmers and business leaders perceive potential business opportunities and grow their wealth by using cow dung.
Liu Yonghao, as the chairman of New Hope Group, enjoys the reputation of "China's feed king".
His entrepreneurial journey began as a quail farming, but over time the story expanded to include several fields, including feed manufacturing and animal farming.
His innovative strategies in the treatment and application of cow manure have also attracted his attention.
He successfully built a cow dung treatment plant to convert cow dung into organic fertilizer and biomass energy, which not only solved the problem of processing cow manure, but also created local jobs and further boosted economic growth.
Epilogue. Whether it's Wong Bingquan or others, they are successful because they are passionate about their profession and put in the hard work consistently.
However, for most people, not all of them have the same opportunities or circumstances to pursue their dreams.
In working towards our vision, we must think carefully about our choices and make appropriate risk estimates.
We should also learn from the valuable experiences and lessons of those who have already succeeded, so that we can move forward more smoothly in our future journeys.
