Dream Longjiang Brilliant Life Report Draft: Obsessed with Wranglers

Xu Zhibo, Fuyuan Bangma Breeding Base, Chengzihe District

Dear leaders, teachers, and friends,

Hello everyone! I am Xu Zhibo, who returned to his hometown after graduating from college to establish the "Heilongjiang Bangma" breeding base in Chengzihe District, and I am 23 years old this year. "Unrepentant entrepreneurial dream obsessive Wrangler", now, I report to you my "Dream Fulfillment Trilogy" -

My first step in starting a business: I have dreams and the courage to take responsibility. I grew up in a miner's family in the Tokai Coal Mine and have loved animals since I was a child. I remember when I was in high school, my ancient British shepherd dog was sick, and it cost more than 300 yuan to get an injection in the pet hospital, at that time, I began to pay attention to the veterinarian line, and I remembered that this line made a lot of money; especially my grandfather had been a cavalryman and experienced war, he told me many horse stories, and let me have a special love for horses since I was a child, yearning for my future to ride a high-headed horse, majestic. All this prompted me to choose the veterinary medicine major of Jilin Agricultural University when I filled in the volunteer for the college entrance examination.

Because I love this profession, I study very hard and have excellent grades. As early as before I graduated from college, I actually had many options, including the opportunity to go abroad, but I still chose a horse farm in Penglai, Shandong Province, to work as a breeder and veterinarian.

Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. Once, a pure black Arabian horse in the racecourse suffered from abdominal pain, and a veterinarian invited from abroad diagnosed that the horse was suffering from a nodulation and could not be saved. But I did not believe in that evil, and the "dead horse" also served as a living horse doctor: I carefully fed the horse medicine while leading the horse to keep walking, in order to open the horse's blocked intestines. I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, people were almost tired, and miracles finally appeared - "dead horses" saved me! This time, I recovered more than 600,000 yuan for the horse farm, and the boss's salary for me rose to 6,000 yuan. My hard-working spirit and business ability were gradually recognized, and soon I was transferred to an international equestrian club in Tianjin and promoted to assistant general manager.

However, a special opportunity here changed my life and also made me shoulder the entrepreneurial experience of "heavenly responsibility".

I got to know a veteran horse breeder. When I learned that I was from Heilongjiang, he told me the story of "Heilongjiang Horse" very emotionally, and let me understand the past and present life of "Heilongjiang Horse": "Heilongjiang Horse" belongs to the horse of the horse, which is a hybrid of mountain and river horses, Mongolian horses, Soviet heavy horses, etc. Cui Buqing, the founder of Modern Horse Breeding and Improvement in China, personally identified the genetic breeding population for it. In 1953, China introduced Soviet heavy horses from the former Soviet Union and distributed them to the horse farms in Heilongjiang for breeding. The improved "Heilongjiang Horse" overcame the weakness of the original horse breed's hooves being small and light, and made great contributions in the entrepreneurial period when 100,000 officers and soldiers developed the Northern Wilderness. In the 1950s and 1960s, most of the transportation tasks in cities and villages were completed by the "Heilongjiang Bangma", and at that time, the thousand-foot well in the Jixi Mining Area also ran the transportation army of the "Heilongjiang Bangma". It can be said that the "Heilongjiang Bangma" carries the solidified memory of the history of entrepreneurship and development in the Great Northern Wilderness, and is a witness, participant and witness of that glorious historical period, and has a high reputation in the country. However, with the development of the times, after the 1970s, machine farming gradually replaced livestock farming, and the number of horses in the country was greatly reduced, and the "Heilongjiang Horse" in our province also entered a trough.

Due to the in-depth understanding of "Heilongjiang Bangma", a sense of responsibility weighed heavily on my heart: "Heilongjiang Bangma", what a charming cultural symbol it is! My hometown is on the banks of the Muling River, and the Manchu word for "Muling" means "wrangling horses". There is a foundation for raising horses here, there is an environment suitable for horses to grow, and I want to go back to my hometown to raise horses.

However, in Tianjin, I am employed, the conditions are superior, my girlfriend is a French student, she has been fighting for me and her to return to France to develop; back to my hometown, I have to start a business, the road ahead is vast, I go back to the mine alone to raise horses, I will encounter many unexpected problems. Compared with the two, my heart is indeed very entangled, but the "Heilongjiang Horse" is on the verge of extinction, and if it is really extinct in the hands of our generation, we will regret it for life! And I firmly believe that Jixi has the soil to realize my dreams. In this way, I resolutely gave up my superior job in Tianjin and the rare opportunity to go to France, and returned to Jixi to take on the heavy responsibility of "Heilongjiang Bangma" to protect and breed.

The second step of my entrepreneurship: hard to chase dreams, obsessively. Everything was difficult at the beginning, when I returned home, I just proposed the matter of raising horses, and I was poured a basin of cold water by my parents, especially my mother, who resolutely opposed: "Originally for you to go to college, I hope you have a good future." But now it is good, put the white-collar workers in the big city you are not right, but to return to our coal mine to raise horses, what can be done! ”

But I have made up my mind, I am resolute, and I know what is righteous. In order to enhance everyone's confidence in my horse breeding, I kept publicizing the broad prospects of "Heilongjiang Horse Pulling". I said that our Jixi is both an old industrial base and a resource-based city, and transformation and development is the trend of the times. Now, I am committed to the endangered "Heilongjiang Horse" breeding, not only to fill the gap in the country and the province, but also to promote the development of equestrian and related industries and promote the development of tourism. In addition, the prospect of developing the meat-type horse market is also very promising, and it is certainly a good project for the fathers and elders of the mining area and the surrounding farmers to get rich.

However, no matter how much I said and persuaded, my parents were just unmoved, and always thought that it was a shame for a college student to come back to raise horses. Looking back now, during that period, I was really like a demon and lost my soul, I didn't think about tea and food all day, I hid in the hut alone, and cried all the time.

Seeing this scene, my grandfather, who understands horses and loves horses, was the first to stand up and publicly support me: "This child will be ruined if he goes on like this, and it is also a serious thing for the child to raise horses, I see let him toss it, don't hit the south wall and don't turn back, maybe it will really be done." ”

After all, my parents had the feeling of licking calves, and they also silently supported me in confusion. In order to save the endangered "Heilongjiang Horse", it is necessary to choose the best stallion, but this will cost 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. My parents sold the valuable family, including a property, and the aunt's family far away in Daqing was in better condition, and lent me 130,000 yuan at once. Looking at the money that my parents, relatives and friends had pieced together, my heart was very excited, I clenched my fists, and secretly resolved: I must succeed.

The problem of funding is solved, and the problem of finding horses is again.

Heilongjiang is the hometown of the "Heilongjiang Horse", but it is sad that it is difficult to find a trace of the horse now. After inquiring from many sources, it was learned that Jilin Nong'an had a horse breeding farm. My heart was on fire immediately, and I felt that I couldn't stay at home for a moment, and the whole Spring Festival had not been good. On the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, although my grandfather was 75 years old, he accompanied me on a long journey to find the ancestor of the "Heilongjiang Horse", the Soviet Heavy Horse.

However, there was no specific address and telephone number, and when we arrived in Nong'an, on a cold day, we could only ask while walking. I discussed with my grandfather, just take a taxi and ask. The driver listened to my explanation and seemed to be moved, and he told me that he knew a big horse breeder and had been on the CCTV "Get Rich Classic" column. He said the horse breeders were all connected to each other and might know where the horse breeding grounds were.

In this way, we went through many twists and turns to find a breeding ground for horses. When I saw more than 40 Soviet heavy horses imported from Russia, Arden, Vladimir and other ancestral breeds and Jilin horses, my eyes lit up! But the gentle refusal of the field director made my heart half cold: "These horses, we are not enough for ourselves, if we sell, how can we keep breeding and breeding..."

disappointed! disappointed! disappointed! I came with a fire in my heart, but at this time it was like I had been greatly wronged. Tears were choking up, and I hated that I couldn't roll on the ground like a horse and cry for a while...

But I'm not discouraged, I must not let the dream die!

My grandfather and I ate and slept in the open, continued to look for horses in Nong'an, found a horse farm, and then went to another to find, hope and disappointment, disappointment and hope, in the frozen nong'an rural wilderness, again and again leading us to an old and a small more and more heavy footsteps.

After 10 days, we were really out of luck, and we hardened our scalps and slammed the door of the horse breeding farm again. Grandpa said, "Just sell us a few horses, this child just likes horses and wants to keep horses, besides, we are not selling horses, but also for breeding and preserving." Looking at the sincere appearance of our old and young, the field director said: Give me a reply after asking the superior leaders. Originally, this field was a guarantee project of Changchun Mayor Cui Jie, which was managed by Zhong Wanmin, vice chairman of the CPPCC Nong'an County. That night, I stayed up all night until the next day, when the director called and said that the superior leader had finally agreed to sell us 4 horses. I jumped up with joy because these 4 horses had all won the grand prize at the 2012 Changchun Agricultural Expo.

But when I came back, I was dumbfounded. At that time, I just wanted to buy a horse, but I hadn't built a stable, and the horse didn't have a home. There was no way, the snow was cold, and I could only take the workers to dig the foundation with an electric pickaxe to build a new home for the horses, while slowly exploring the temperament of the horses and calming their uneasiness. Before the stable was built, I had to temporarily place the horses in a warehouse of only 40 square meters. In the past, they lived in single rooms and ate grass, but now in such a small space, these "BMWs" who are accustomed to happiness are aggrieved, and they begin to have a stress response, do not eat, and their tempers become grumpy, and after a few days, the horses lose weight. I was both anxious and distressed.

Three months later, the stable was built. But as the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat. In order to reduce expenses, I can only do everything myself, get up at 4:30 in the morning, feed the horses, powder grass, carry water, release the horses, and feed the horses at night, it is already 2 a.m. Each foal, I personally delivered, stripping the tire coat, cutting the umbilical cord, injection, taking medicine, feeding breast milk, assisting in the discharge of meconium, dry for more than 6 hours, and I did not know tired. In the stable, either the dung sprayed by the horse was covered with weeds, and he yawned for days.

The most beautiful mare, the Lili, is a Soviet heavy horse with a tall physique and shiny coat. Soon to become a mother, its temperament has become more and more docile. But a few days before delivery, it seems that something is wrong, and a closer look is the edema of the birth canal. Sure enough, the foal it gave birth to only lived for one day. "Li Li" kept kicking and kicking at the foal's carcass, as if to wake up its "child". At this time, my mood is the same as "Li Li", I picked up the cold foal, I can't help but cry loudly, I want to use the cry for "Li Li" to wake up its "child": I did not take good care of you!

"Why are you so bitter?" Someone always asks me this incomprehensibly. Yeah, I often ask myself: Why bother! With such favorable conditions in Tianjin, come back and suffer so much suffering and suffer so many sins? But wake up, look at the "Li Li" who has become a mother, touch the favorite "black wind", and think that he is carrying the ambition of saving the "Heilongjiang Horse", and all the confusion and troubles will disappear.

"Black Wind" is the best "man" in this big family, with a shoulder height of 1 meter 8, a length of 3 meters, and a black suit. This is a purebred Soviet heavy horse, which undertakes the heavy responsibility of "passing on the generations" of the horse breeding base. In less than a year and a half, through the "Black Wind" breeding, 4 thoroughbred horses and 8 hybrid Heilongjiang horses have been bred, which have been exported to equestrian clubs and film and television bases in Shandong, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places, creating a value of more than 600,000. Today, my base has bred 12 foals and 8 mares to be produced, and the benefits of breeding have initially emerged.

But entrepreneurship means challenges, and setbacks are inevitable. From buying horses to building a farm house, I have invested 820,000 yuan, but breeding is a long-term thing, and the short-term benefits are very small. In particular, feed is a big expense. When it was hardest, the whole family followed me to tighten my belt, and the family had not eaten fruit for almost a year. And my baby foal doesn't dare to be bitter, apples, carrots, foals love to eat whatever they want. In order to save money, I myself have built a small industrial chain: buy stupid soybean oil equipment, buy soybeans from farmers, and the processed stupid soybean oil is of good quality and naturally does not worry about selling. The resulting soybean meal is fed to the horses, and the horse manure is the organic fertilizer produced by the vegetables in the shed. The small circular industry chain not only saves me money, but also drives the surrounding economy.

In order to expand the herd of horses, I decided to breed the horses of the farmers in need for free. As soon as the news came out, the nearby countryside, and even the horse farmers in Linkou, came to visit. Last year alone, 42 horses were bred free of charge, reducing farmers' expenses by more than 30,000 yuan and directly bringing benefits to farmers by more than 500,000 yuan. Under my leadership, there are now 13 horse breeders in the surrounding area, of which up to 9 are horses. Especially in the recent media publicity, more people have come to breed. Grandpa reminded me again and again, let's take a leisurely time, so that our "black wind" can not be eaten. But in the face of the eager and eager eyes of the villagers, my stallion tired point is also worth it.

The third step of my business: the dream is ahead, the road is under the feet. The initial success inspired me to have a bigger dream, that is, I want to rely on the "Heilongjiang Horse" to build a unique "Heilongjiang Horse" base with unique characteristics of Jixi and the only one in the country; rely on the sports horse to create the "Jixi Equestrian Club", so that the sports horse and equestrian club will become the unique charm of The city card and tourist attraction in Jixi.

In the future, I will gradually introduce British thoroughbred horses and ponies, use British thoroughbred horses and "Heilongjiang horse" hybrid breeding to breed sports horses, purebred breeding of ponies that can be ridden by children; devote myself to the development of stallion frozen sperm, the establishment of off-campus practice bases, and the establishment of farmers' horse breeding cooperatives.

In the future, I will strive to apply to join the China Horse Industry Association and set up the first equestrian club in the province to provide free equestrian sports learning for young people in school, so that they can use their spare time to contact animals and get close to nature.

In the future, I will ride a horse to drive my herd, this is a group of heroic "Heilongjiang Horses", this is a group of horses with a Jixi business card, on the banks of the Muling River with fertile water and grass, ten thousand horses galloping and magnificent...

This is my "Dream Fulfillment Trilogy".
