Getting Rich: Losing a Million and Making a Fortune in the Deep Mountains (2016.6.14)

In the small gamecock fighting pit, behind this young man's lavish spending was a business opportunity he had discovered, which let him use 30,000 yuan as capital to earn more than 1 million in just 4 months. Fluctuations in the industry made him lose all of that more than 1 million in just over 3 months. At the moment of crisis, he discovered in the mountains a business opportunity that made his heart race. In the vast mountains, what exactly was it that made Chen Long's fortunes rebound from the bottom and push annual sales past 10 million?

What is underway is a gamecock fighting match. As entertainment, gamecock fighting is one of the favorite activities of the Dai people in Xishuangbanna.

The gamecock is an ancient Chinese breed of chicken, with a history of about two thousand years. It is said that when disputes arise between neighbors here, they use gamecock fighting to decide the winner.

Reporter: "What counts as losing?"

Chen Long: "One runs away, or else it gets knocked down.

The owners of both sides agree that fifteen minutes is one round, followed by a halftime rest.

After a bout of intense exercise, the gamecock's throat accumulates phlegm, making breathing difficult and affecting its performance in the match. Inserting a water-soaked feather into the chicken's throat can help it clear the phlegm.

Then use a wet towel to wipe the gamecock's feathers, which helps lower its body temperature and restore its strength.

Reporter: "Why is its rear so red?"

Chen Long: "That's just how gamecocks are, the whole body is red."

Reporter: "It's not from being fought until it bled, is it."

Chen Long: "No."

Reporter: "Is it only this red when it's fighting?"

Chen Long: "No, even when it's not fighting it's still this red."

A gamecock eats one egg every day to build up its physique. It starts competing at one year old, and from one and a half to two years old is the golden period for fighting.

After a rest of about ten minutes, a new round of dueling begins. Everyone present holds their own opinion, and the outcome is hard to tell.

Chen Long: "This black one has really gained experience from fighting."

Reporter: "Why does its head keep ducking down."

Chen Long: "It keeps dodging, afraid of getting pecked on the head. It dodges, then seizes the chance to peck the opponent."

Sure enough, as Chen Long said, the black chicken gained the upper hand.

Chen Long judges that the gamecock's eyesight is unmatched by ordinary people, and this comes from a period of his life experience.
