This is a very interesting topic, "dick silk", "hair traces", "rich and handsome", "beggar" four words perfectly interpret the life of the stone money turtle! If these four stages are divided, then the first three stages are the stone money turtle counterattack stage, and the second half is the decline stage! Just like the creation of a dynasty, just like the decline of a dynasty!

Stone money turtle
Di Silk Stage (Early 1980s)
The stone money turtle is also called "yellow-throated water turtle" (about how its name changes in time, here is not a key explanation, for the convenience of writing, the following unified called "stone money turtle"), before it has been familiar to everyone, the place where it lives is the mountain stream, the field ridge, and other wild animals are no different. The use value of the stone money turtle in this period is not large for people, in addition to the special population needs to treat the disease and eat it, its edible value and play value have not been paid close attention to by people, in other words, the market demand for the stone money turtle in this period is still very small! At this time, the main source of the stone money turtle was mainly wild caught, and no one has yet artificially raised it! This is its "dick stage"!
Milestones (1990s to 2008)
In the 1990s, people became more and more frequent in the wild (because turtle shells can be exchanged for money), resulting in the fact that the number of wild turtles became smaller and smaller, while the market demand for turtle shells in the same period became more and more vigorous, and the price also rose! At this time, some people distinguish between "fish" and "fish", fish is short-term interest, and fishing is long-term interest. So slowly, some people began to try to raise the captured stone money turtles, and even bid to buy wild stone money turtles caught by others! In addition, at that time, Chinese turtle farmers at that time because the farmed Chinese turtles were not priced, the market was sluggish, and they transformed into turtle breeding! This provides a prerequisite for the development of the stone money turtle! However, although some people have already started to raise turtles during this period, its scale is not large, and the breeding technology is not very mature! At the same time, some other aquaculture farmers have also set their sights on the emerging turtle industry because of the sluggish aquatic product market they operate! This part of the people entering the turtle circle means that there is demand, bringing new funds, with the injection of funds, the turtle market has a tendency to expand, which is good news for the stone money turtle in the turtle market! The early people who entered the turtle industry gradually increased the number of people who entered the turtle market in the future, and the amount of money injected into the turtle market gradually became larger, and the early farmers also earned the first bucket of gold in their lives. Later, someone from the Central 7 Radio station did an interview with the farmers, which is actually the biggest affirmation of the turtle industry, and to a large extent, advertising was done, and more and more people know that turtle breeding can make money! This has largely stimulated the interest of more aquaculturists and investors, thus pushing turtle farming to another new level! The Stone Money Turtle is among them!
Rich and handsome stage (2008-2015)
In 2008, the economic crisis broke out, many industries have suffered different degrees of blows, some powerful investors have to find new investment projects, and turtle market is very lucky to become a project invested by some investors, so the result is a lot of hot money injected into the turtle market, turtle market is extremely hot! Turtle prices are rising! The stone money turtle also flew all the way! Later, not only more powerful investors entered the turtle market, but even the general public entered the turtle market, and it is conceivable how big the capital disk was at that time! The stone money turtle has suddenly counterattacked and become a "rich and handsome" in the eyes of the public! The price is "high", the seller is "rich", and the way to make money is "handsome"!
In 2008, the seedlings were 80 yuan / piece;
In 2009, 120 yuan / piece;
......
In 2014, the seedlings were 850 yuan / piece;
In the same year (2014), the turtle sold for more than 2,000 yuan / kg, and the commercial turtle sold for more than 1300 yuan / kg!
Beggar Stage (2015–present)
After 2015, the price of stone turtles began to fall, until now the seedlings have fallen below double digits! This makes many people unexpected, before and after the price break is seriously excessive, so that many people in the industry suffer heavy losses! The stone money turtle has completely degenerated into a "beggar" and has been complained about by many people! Although other species of turtles in the same period also collapsed, the most serious one was the stone money turtle! The root cause is that the group that follows the investment is the largest, and the size of the group is incomparable to other turtle species in the same period, so the killing area of the stone money turtle after the price drop is the widest, and it has become the "beggar" that everyone spits!
