A few days ago, the video of "Beipiao college students resigned and returned to their hometowns to raise sheep for 10 million yuan a year" caused widespread concern and heated discussion among netizens. Yesterday, Wu Peng, the hero of the video, told Beijing Youth Daily that he resigned four years ago and went home to start a business. The annual income of raising sheep is more than 10 million, which means the output value, and the actual annual net profit can reach more than 2 million.
Yesterday afternoon, Wu Peng said in an interview with Beiqing Daily that he came from Zhongyang Village, Dagong Town, Hai ‘an County, Jiangsu Province, and graduated from a college in Changzhou in 2009, majoring in decoration and marketing. After graduating from college, I came to Beijing and joined a company as a technician. You can earn hundreds of thousands a year, but there is always a sense of drift in Beijing. "I don’t think it’s a problem to go on like this."
Once he returned to his hometown for the Spring Festival, he accidentally found that a sheep could sell for hundreds of dollars in his hometown. As a result, he came up with the idea of raising sheep and starting a business.
With 1 million yuan sponsored by his parents and more than 1 million yuan borrowed from the bank, Wu Peng started his entrepreneurial road.
Wu Peng introduced that after he decided to raise sheep, he read a lot of books about breeding and also learned from local big farmers. After getting more than 2 million start-up funds, he first bought more than 1,000 sheep seedlings and built a sheep shed. At the end of the first year, he made a small profit, but in the second year, his sheep encountered a "plague", which cost him 700 thousand to 800 thousand.
Over the past four years, Wu Peng’s "sheep" has been expanding. At present, the number of sheep he raised has increased from more than 1,000 to more than 10,000; The sheep shed has also changed from the initial 1000 square meters to seven or eight thousand square meters; The annual output value is more than 10 million, and the annual net profit has reached more than 2 million.
Not only that, he got rich, but also brought employment to his neighborhood. Poor households or people with physical disabilities in the same village have recruited a total of more than a dozen.
Wu Peng told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he intends to register a trademark this year, so that his sheep can form a brand, hoping to sell his mutton to all parts of the country in the future. Text/reporter Ma Jinfeng
