Put a nose ring on a chicken, and you'll make more money than other farmers
In Jiaofang Village, Jinqu Town, Mei County, Shaanxi, there is a young man named Zhao Fei. He gave up a job with an annual income of over 100,000 yuan and insisted on returning to his hometown to farm. In Zhao Fei's view, his choice to start a farming business had no earth-shattering reason, and he did not consider himself particularly capable, but in the eyes of his fellow villagers, this was not the case at all. Everyone thought Zhao Fei was thoughtful, and even his chicken raising was different from everyone else's!
Through preliminary research and learning, and by consulting experienced masters, Zhao Fei went through several setbacks, built a chicken house of more than 100 sq m, brought in more than 1,000 chickens, and began his entrepreneurial journey. In fact, at first, the villagers were not optimistic about Zhao Fei and thought he was being a bit willful and reckless. Even when others were not optimistic, he still continued to learn. Although the villagers did not think well of him, Zhao Fei was not swayed by their views. In addition to taking care of his farming business, he also used his spare time to buy books and study on his own, learning how to prevent chicken diseases, how to use under-forest farming, and how to manage the chicken house, caring for those chicks as if they were children.
Zhao Fei was a beginner at raising chickens, but he did not ask the villagers for advice. He just carried a book and ran to the chicken farm every day, which made the villagers find it very strange. But soon, something even stranger appeared. At the chicken farm, the villagers discovered that some chickens had a blue “nose ring” on their noses. At first, no one paid much attention, but soon everyone discovered that the chickens Zhao Fei raised simply had a higher slaughter volume than other people's! Why? It turned out that the “nose ring” Zhao Fei put on the chickens' noses was doing its job.
Although Zhao Fei usually seemed like someone who never asked anyone for help, he had actually spent a lot of effort pondering and learning practical chicken-raising techniques. Through observation, Zhao Fei found that although free-range chickens were good, this also gave them many opportunities to fight, and many chickens died from fighting each other. What was to be done? Zhao Fei thought of this trick: putting a small blue ring on the chicken's nose. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good! The problem of chickens fighting each other was solved simply and easily.
After more than a year of continuous hard study, Zhao Fei's farm has now begun to take shape, and his business has gradually become prosperous. His current source of income is mainly free-range chickens and free-range eggs. Almost all the free-range eggs are sold online, and there is no need to worry about selling the free-range chickens either. Besides purchases by some large buyers, many nearby farm restaurants are also using his free-range chickens. He said that there is no task that cannot be done well, only people who are unwilling to do it well. Having accumulated a lot of farming experience, Zhao Fei is full of confidence in his farm. As for his future plans, Zhao Fei intends not only to do business in front of his own home, but also to continuously expand sales channels and truly make his farm bigger and stronger.
