In Danzhou City, Hainan Province, there is an uncle named Wang Bowen, there is a small reputation in the local area, before he just sold shrimp has 50 million sales, but gradually he found that the weather changes, so that shrimp more and more difficult to raise, and later saw him found a business opportunity - sandworms, after exploration and learning, he relied on selling sandworms, annual sales of 16 million yuan.

In 2012, Wang Bowen handed over the shrimp pond to the staff to take care of, and invested 100,000 yuan to start raising sandworms. At first, he regularly fed the sandworms, but the sandworms basically did not eat, and it was not long before the sandworms died. Later, he observed and studied in the pond every day and found that sandworms could only absorb nutrients in the sediment. In order to convert the seawater into nutritious fertilizer water, he began to raise algae in the water, and thus through the sandworms raised from the fertilizer water, they were fat and large.

Wang Bowen's sandworm is called the checkered star worm, with a body length of about 10-2 cm, thick flesh, delicious taste, high nutrients, and is known as "marine cordyceps". Sandworms are an indispensable dish in the local area, and they are delicious for steaming and frying. (From: Farming Commune)
Later Wang Bowen gave up shrimp farming, the 300 acres of shrimp ponds all changed into sandworm breeding ponds, in order to sell high prices, he held various activities, publicity and promotion of sandworms, but wait for dealers to buy sandworms, he did not sell, he said that now sell is 60 yuan a pound, wait until the New Year to sell, a pound can earn 20 yuan more. In order to wait for this good price, he has enough patience to buy and not sell. (From: Farming Commune)
Now he is making dried sandworms while promoting them in preparation for the Spring Festival. Just two years ago, the total output of sandworms in Danzhou City was only 20,000 catties, but now Wang Wenbo artificially farmed, with an annual output of up to 200,000 catties and an annual sales volume of 16 million.
