Get Rich: So Fish Can Be Farmed This Way After All (2016.6.16)

He left home to work as a migrant laborer right after graduating from junior high school, and in 2008 he returned to his hometown to start a business farming the four major Chinese carps, and was called a wonder in the industry. In 5 years, he increased the annual sales of his 350-mu farming base from less than 1 million yuan to 27 million yuan. Yet when it comes to the past, he is unwilling to talk much about it. A plan that could change the face of the industry sent his wealth soaring, and because of this plan, over 5 years he endured endless torment yet never gave up. What kind of plan is this, and how did it help him achieve a 27-fold surge in annual sales in 5 years?

This is Liu Jianming's aquaculture base. The base covers 350 mu and mainly farms the four major Chinese carps, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) and other fish species. In 2010, the base's sales were still less than 1 million yuan. In 5 years, by 2015, the area had not expanded and the fish species had not changed, yet Liu Jianming's base sales suddenly increased to 27 million yuan.

Chu Qiufen, extension researcher at the Aquaculture Technology Extension Station of Wujin District, Changzhou City: I really admire him. I said you are a wonder in our aquaculture industry, and also a blessing to our aquaculture industry.

As soon as the reporter arrived at the base for an interview, Liu Jianming dragged the reporter to a mysterious pond, saying that only there could the secret of his base's 27-fold surge in sales be unlocked.

This is that mysterious pond, but what the reporter did not expect was that no fish were being farmed in this pond at all.

Reporter: How big is this place?

Liu Jianming: This place is 50 mu in total.

Reporter: How many fish are being farmed?

Liu Jianming: No fish are farmed, but there are fish inside.

Reporter: Not farming fish?

Liu Jianming: Right.

This 50-mu pond is the largest pond at Liu Jianming's base, yet surprisingly no fish are farmed in it. As soon as the reporter entered the water, they felt this place was different from other ponds.

Reporter: How deep is this?

Liu Jianming: A bit further ahead it's about 6 m, be careful when you come down.

Liu Jianming: Walk along the edge, put one hand on this side, stretch one foot down below, put one foot in the middle, and that will do.

This pond is more than 6 m deep and was dug specially by Liu Jianming.

Reporter: It's this deep already, so fast

Liu Jianming: I'm telling you, there's only a very small shallow area, below it's very, very deep.
