In 2009, a boss spent 30 million yuan to charter a reservoir area in the Lancang River basin and put in 60,000 fish fry. Strangely, when the boss was about to catch a fish 3 years later, he found that he couldn't catch a single fish.
When the boss was at a loss, a university teacher came up with a solution for him and successfully fished out 480 tons of fish. Since then, the boss has made annual sales of more than 30 million.
Others dig fish ponds, a fish pond covers an area of only one acre, the number of fry invested is also limited, and the final income will not be too much. This boss is different, he directly contracted a reservoir area in the Lancang River basin to raise fish, he is He Jieqiu.
He Jieqiu was originally the owner of a steel company, with more than 300 employees under him, and the company's efficiency was also very good. But in 2006, He Jieqiu found that the company's performance had declined, and he keenly thought it was time to change industries.
One day, He Jieqiu accidentally saw a bidding project for contracting the Xiaowan reservoir area on the Lancang River. When He Jieqiu saw it, he came up with an idea and drove to the Xiaowan reservoir area of the Lancang River in Yunnan Province to investigate.
After arriving at the reservoir area, He Jieqiu was stunned, the water here is deep, and the water surface is calm, the water body is light green, and there are many algae and plankton in it. What's more, the reservoir area is at a bend in the corner, and it would be great if you were to raise fish here.
When he returned home, He Jieqiu wanted to charter this reservoir area for fish farming. But as a former steel factory owner, he didn't know anything about fish farming, so what type of fish should he raise?
He Jieqiu had no choice but to ask professionals, and they gave He Jieqiu a suggestion based on the actual situation in the reservoir area and the living habits of the fish, "You can raise silver carp and bighead carp."
Just do it, He Jieqiu took more than 10 million to Yunnan and chartered this reservoir area. Then the purchase of fry began, but soon, a problem arose.
Generally speaking, the fish fry are purchased by the owners of some small fish ponds, and the number of one-time purchases is limited. As a fish fry seller, the number of fry prepared is also very limited.
But Ho Jieqiu's land is a natural reservoir area, the water is flowing, and the area is very large, and the number of fish fry he buys far exceeds that of others.
Because of this, He Jieqiu went to all the markets in Yunnan, but he did not buy enough fish fry. As a last resort, he had no choice but to travel to the surrounding provinces.
In the end, although the number of fry was enough, due to his excessive demand, the ** of the fry was also raised to two yuan a catty by him. Compared to the previous budget, the investment in buying fish fry alone is more than before.
After personally putting 60 million fish fry into the reservoir area, He Jieqiu showed a pleased smile on his face. The reservoir area is more than 300 kilometers long, and it is also living water, and the fish fry grow in it, and there is no need to feed too much feed at all, which is equivalent to natural breeding.
In less than 3 years, when the fry grow to a few pounds, they can enter the market and sell for money. He Jieqiu roughly estimated that he invested more than 13 million, and finally sold for 30 million.
While He Jieqiu was planning, several questions soon came to mind.
The first problem is that fish farming does not mean just putting in fry, but also preparing for later maintenance, fishing, etc., and purchasing facilities. Due to the large area of the reservoir area, He Jieqiu had no choice but to invest more than 10 million yuan.
But at this time, He Jieqiu's family came out to stop him, and everyone advised He Jieqiu that he was breeding for the first time and had no experience, so it was best to think about it carefully. He Jieqiu's expectation is to sell 30 million in 3 years, but at this time he has invested more than 20 million, do you want to continue?
He Jieqiu has always been a person who is unwilling to give up, so he changed the budget, as long as he doesn't lose money after 3 years.
The second question, one day in 2009, it has been a few months since He Jieqiu cast seedlings, and he wants to drive a boat to catch some small fish to see how big the fish have grown and how they grow.
Strangely, He Jieqiu found a professional fishing team, and it took a whole day to catch a single fish. This is incredible, "60 million fish fry were put in the beginning, where did they go"?
On the second day, He Jieqiu added some boats and started fishing. This time, He Jieqiu made full preparations, replaced the net with a larger net than before, and adjusted the depth of the fish, which was extended to a depth of 30 meters.
But after a whole day of fishing, I still found nothing.
When He Jie covered this reservoir area in the autumn, he did not pack it alone, there were several ** easts. Seeing this, one shareholder stood up and said, "The little fry can't be dead, right?" No matter how difficult it is to catch, you won't even see a single fish."
The shareholders didn't want to continue any longer, and they all proposed to withdraw their shares, and even those employees had to resign, not wanting to spend it here with He Jieqiu. The final result was that there was only one ** Dong left, and only 1 3 employees left.
He Jieqiu assured these people that "if he is given another chance, he will definitely be able to catch the fish so that everyone can rest assured."
At this time, He Jieqiu thought of a relatively well-known fishing team, they were experienced and should be able to catch fish. He Jieqiu spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for this and invited this fishing team.
This fishing team is different from the previous ones, and they have even taken into account the area around the dam in the reservoir area, so to speak, and they have cast nets everywhere. Strangely, the fish was not caught, and a strange thing happened.
On that day, several boats were launched to catch fish, dragging a large net. The boat is also moving fast, just hoping that the fish will not slip away. But the boat had been driving for several kilometers, and there was no movement in the net.
While everyone was anxiously waiting, suddenly there was movement in the fishing nets. Suddenly, the whole net began to shake, and then a large wave was stirred. Everyone speculated, "I must have caught a fish."
At this time, the boat immediately began to drive to the shore, and after it stopped, He Jieqiu came over, wanting to see today's harvest. But after collecting the net, He Jieqiu was dumbfounded, he didn't catch any fish, and there was a big hole of dozens of square meters in the middle of the net.
Some people say, "Isn't it because there are bigger fish in the water?" Flush the nets out of the holes."
Everyone speculated, "There must be a big fish that ate the small fry, so He Jieqiu didn't catch a single fish, but broke the net."
After hearing the news, the more than 100 employees who stayed behind also planned to resign, and everyone didn't want to continue to waste time here with He Jieqiu.
After learning of such a result, He Jieqiu panicked, hoping that everyone would give him another chance, and he would find a more capable fishing team to try to catch fish for everyone to see, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone.
But what He Jieqiu didn't expect was that when he looked for the fishing team again, there was no one to take on this task. No matter how much money He Jieqiu makes, they are unwilling.
This made He Jieqiu anxious, although he couldn't catch fish before, He Jieqiu always had hope in his heart, thinking that the fishing method was wrong. Now that the fishing team is reluctant to take on the task, all hope is dashed.
On the other hand, after hearing the news, the employees completely changed their minds, and all of them ran over to He Jieqiu and said, "They are going to resign."
He Jieqiu is a person who has seen the world, what kind of wind and waves have he not seen? He assured the employees that "if anyone is willing to go, even if they are good, he will compensate them for a little money." If anyone is willing to stay, the money earned in the future will be divided together."
At this point, He Jieqiu was a little doubtful of himself, "Where did the fish go?" Dead? Even if you die, you won't be able to catch a single one? It's impossible to say that the fishing method is wrong, so many boats, so big nets."
He Jieqiu felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so he went to ask some fish pond owners about it. They told He Jieqiu, "Could it be because He Jieqiu's reservoir area is too large and the fish are scattered everywhere, so they can't catch it?"
But He Jieqiu quickly denied this, "That's 60 million fish fry, even if it is dispersed and reopened, it should be no problem to catch hundreds or thousands." And now there is no sign of the fish.
He Jieqiu had no choice but to think of a solution: consult books, preferably to find out the living habits of silver carp and bighead carp, and see what kind of fishing method should be used. But after checking for a long time, there was no gain.
almost 30 million was invested, but he couldn't see a little hope, He Jieqiu shed tears sadly. This 50-year-old man's back is gradually bent a little, which is his net worth for most of his life.
However, there is a word called "peak loop turn", when you feel that there are mountains and mountains in front of you, maybe turn a corner, it is another village. When He Jieqiu was at a loss, a university teacher appeared, and he was Yu Jianbo.
Yu Jianbo is a teacher at the College of Animal Science and Technology of Hunan Agricultural University and has done related research. At the invitation of He Jieqiu, he came to this reservoir area.
As soon as he came to the reservoir area and looked around, Yu Jianbo learned the reason why he couldn't catch fish before.
It is important to know that fish farming in fish ponds is different from fish farming in the reservoir area, the water area of fish ponds is small, and you only need to cast a net to catch fish. The reservoir area is different, not only do you have to cast a big net and drive a boat to fish, but you also have to consider the problem that the fish will escape.
Yu Jianbo quickly told He Jieqiu, "When fishing for fish, the first thing to pay attention to is how to prevent the fish from evading."
Yu Jianbo told He Jieqiu, "He can help He Jieqiu solve this problem, but the cost is also very large, and it may take millions." And even if you put money into it, there is no guarantee that it will succeed.
He Jieqiu's sister stood up again and persuaded He Jieqiu, "Don't do any more meaningless paying, you will only lose more." He Jieqiu was unwilling to give up, so he said that he would give it a try, so he immediately prepared millions and gave it to Yu Jianbo.
Yu Jianbo was not a little sloppy and began to make a plan. According to the topography of the reservoir area, he learned that the water level at the dam is the deepest, but once the fish hear the movement, they will immediately hide in the deep water, and they will keep swimming forward, and they will not be able to catch it at all.
Yu Jianbo's plan is: catch fish in deep water and fish in shallow water. In this regard, he designed the drawings and arranged the steps reasonably. It took months to finalize everything.
Yu Jianbo immediately told He Jieqiu, "I need to make a fishing net that is more than 1,000 meters wide and 90 meters deep." In addition, you need to have tools to catch fish, as well as several boats." When everything was ready, several boats officially began to go into the water to catch fish.
According to the previous plan, the boat first drove to the nearest place to the dam, drove the fish from the depth of the water little by little, and when it reached the shallow water, another boat came with a large net and began to fish at the adjusted speed.
At that time, He Jieqiu and Yu Jianbo were standing in the shallow water and waiting, hoping that good news would appear. Especially He Jieqiu, his hands were clenched tightly, he was about to sweat, his eyes were staring at the fishing boat in front of him, and his heart was pounding.
Soon, the net was closed, and the fish were really caught, and the original fry had already grown into several catties of big fish. A rough estimate shows that there are dozens of tons of fish.
He Jieqiu picked up a fish casually, looked at the growth of the fish, tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and he muttered, "With such a weight, it can be sold."
On the second day, several boats continued to launch and began fishing according to the previous method. When the net was closed, there were dozens of tons of fish. After almost a month, I finally caught almost 480 tons of fish.
Those who used to sweat a handful of He Jieqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. So many fish are actually beyond He Jieqiu's plan. Another question at the moment is how to sell.
So many fish are not something that some small bosses can digest, and they still have to find big customers. For this reason, He Jieqiu ran around, looked for more than half a month, and finally found a customer. He directly stated, "His demand is 50 tons of fish".
This boss is very powerful, and he, like He Jieqiu, is also a bold person. He set aside an orchard to grow bananas and pineapples, on a very large scale. But he was not satisfied, and wanted to cooperate with He Jieqiu to do fish business.
Seeing that he was about to sign a contract and sell 50 tons of fish, who knew that the boss had temporarily changed his mind. The reason is simple, the crops he planted have not been sold, and there is no working capital for the time being. Even, he proposed to He Jieqiu, "I want to ask He Jieqiu to borrow 5 million."
He Jieqiu's sister had no choice but to persuade He Jieqiu, "Brother, although you have fished out the fish, you have not sold it at all, you have to lose money if you don't succeed in business." He Jieqiu thought that this boss was very reliable, and transferred the money to this boss on the second day.
He Jieqiu's approach was not wrong, in the future, the 5 million he lent to the boss not only became a shareholder, but also completely opened the market because of his cooperation with the boss. Not only Yunnan local, but also the surrounding Sichuan and Hunan have opened up the market.
That year, although He Jieqiu lost some money, his income was still very considerable. The most important thing is that after taking so many detours, he has gained experience and has been more confident since then.
In the second year, He Jieqiu continued to invest in the fry, and after careful care, he caught much more fish than in the first year. By 2018, the output of fish in the He Jie Qiu Reservoir area had reached 2,000 tons, with annual sales of more than 30 million.
This man in his 50s can now hold his chest up again, this is his courage, he did not choose to give up when he encountered difficulties, and relied on his own efforts to reverse the unbearable results.
I read a little story before, "It's about two people who started digging for treasure at the same time, and one person gave up halfway through digging and didn't dig again." The other person was different, he persevered and eventually dug up the treasure."
This story teaches us that in order to be successful, there must be something to be done. If you want to give up halfway through, how can you see the results? Only those who have persevered and will find a way to solve difficulties can succeed.
The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Brilliance is all a little bit of hard work.
