What does this society do to make money?

There may be thousands of answers to this question.

But have you ever heard of making a "dog idea" to make money and become a millionaire?

Shen Yi, a 38 year old man, built up a million dollars in 3 years by playing the "dog idea" - raising Tibetan mastiff.

On the 13 day, the reporter walked into Shen Yang's Nanhu village in Huangpi's mouth, and Wuhan's Tian Tian mastiff breeding base.

In the mastiff garden, the reporter saw more than 20 little Tibetan mastiff who had just been born. Shen Yi's brother was busy cleaning the mastiff for them, preparing dog food and mutton.

He told reporters that waiting for these Tibetan mastiff was very tiring. They had to start early every day, and could not leave them half a step, and could not fool them.

Only dog lovers can breed good dogs. Each Tibetan mastiff costs between 3000~5000 yuan a year. In order to provide enough mutton, he bought 6 tons of mutton from Inner Mongolia this year.

The safety of mastiff is very important.

The Tibetan mastiff was not in good contact at first because of their strong temperament. Two new employees came in just two weeks and were bitten two times in contact with Tibetan mastiff.

Sometimes, a fierce Tibetan mastiff fighting, if hastily with the hand to pull, even if familiar with, it is also easy to get hurt.

Shen Yi entered the barbed wire net, releasing 10 adult mastiff and 20 small Tibetan mastiff, playing with them. It is hard to see that he is a professional dog raising person.

Shen Yi's character is gentle, but he is very stubborn in doing things, just like he chose to raise Tibetan mastiff at first, but he still insisted on selling the house.

In February 2004, he liked dogs and became the first businessman in Wuhan to raise Tibetan mastiff as a career.

Today, he has become the "three strong" of more than 20 Tibetan mastiff breeding professionals in Wuhan.

"Start":

Death of Tibetan mastiff triggers breeding desire

In October 2003, Shen Yi visited a friend's house and saw a small Tibetan mastiff. He was so cute and cute that he couldn't help it.

Because the relationship is very strong, friends reluctantly give up the small Tibetan mastiff to him.

Unfortunately, due to lack of maintenance experience, a month later, the little Tibetan mastiff died.

Shen Yi felt very uncomfortable. He decided to learn the knowledge of Tibetan mastiff well and raise one to make up for his guilt.

Since then, he began to soak in the Internet every day to see the situation of Tibetan mastiff around the country and the knowledge of raising Tibetan mastiff. This bubble lasted for three months.

Things have changed.

Shen Yong, who originally wanted to raise a Tibetan mastiff as a pet, realized that there was a great demand for Tibetan Mastiff in the society, but there was little supply and attractive business opportunities.

By February 2004, he resolutely resigned from his work in the telecommunications sector and decided to specialize in raising Tibetan mastiff.

That month, he invited 3 friends and went to Gansu, Qinghai and Qilian Mountains with his savings.

In a Tibetan family at the foot of the Qilian mountain, they found a 1 year old, 3 month old snow mastiff (a Tibetan mastiff) and wanted to buy Wuhan back.

Unfortunately, even though they have opened the price to 40 thousand yuan, the Tibetans are still reluctant to sell.

In order to buy the Tibetan mastiff, Shen and her friends stayed in lobbying.

This is the three day of the stay. The Tibetan people are interested in Shen Yi's digital camera worth more than 2000 yuan. In this way, Shen Yi took 40 thousand yuan and sent a digital camera to get the first Tibetan mastiff.

Later, he and his friends in Gansu spent 160 thousand yuan on 9 small gold packages (one of the Tibetan mastiff).

Something bad happened again.

The snow dog bought in Qilian Mountains died again after two months of cultivation.

Shen hides the pain in his heart, and then comes to the experience of exchanging and asking for many Tibetan families who have cultivated Tibetan mastiff. At last, the conclusion of Tibetan mastiff's death is reached. Tibetan Mastiff has to have a buffer period of one or two weeks from the altitude of three or four kilometers to the Plains, such as raising the plateau for a few days at a height of about 2000 meters, and raising it to 1000 meters for a few days before reaching the plain.

Friends of the partnership chose to quit because they were worried about losing money. In July of that year, Shen began to raise 9 iron farmed gold alone.

"Pay":

Buying Tibetan mastiff suffered heavy losses

Shen Yi set up the breeding base of Wuhan Xiaotian mastiff garden in Huangpi on the 6 mu land of her mouth.

By the beginning of 2006, there were more than 80 Tibetan Mastiff in the first two years, and less than 20.

Initially, due to lack of funds, he sold a set of real estate in downtown Hankou to buy Tibetan mastiff.

For the first two years of raising Tibetan mastiff, Shen Yi said more words: "throw all the eggs in one basket, burn the boat and make a lot of detours."

What he called "crooked road" was mainly that the Tibetan mastiff died a lot. When buying the Tibetan mastiff, it was more than halfway.

In the first year, he bought about 100 Tibetan mastiff, but only 40 lived at the end of the year. In the second year, with the rich knowledge and experience, the survival rate reached 90%%.

Encountering a "loss" is also a major cause of losses.

He bought Tibetan Mastiff in Gansu, Qinghai and other places. Many times, he took a fancy to a variety, but when he sent it, he was replaced by a "cat in the palm", and the seller delivered a poor variety.

When he bought 9 iron packets, 5 of them were "dropped".

Despite the worries of losing everything, Shen Yi at this time has no way out of his sense of self, withdraws, is doomed to be defeated, and continues to move forward. There may be another opportunity.

Behind the high risk, there is a huge return. This has become the power to support Shen Yi's further progress.

For the first time, a gold coin was bought and bought for 20 thousand yuan. After 3 months of breeding, a foreigner came to see it and spent 50 thousand yuan to buy it.

In 3 months, it earned nearly 30 thousand.

In order to avoid detours, he began sending his younger brother to Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet and other places frequently.

In order to ensure the purity of Tibetan mastiff, he will choose several Tibetan mastiff as a kind of mastiff at the end of each year, so as to ensure that his descendants are pure mastiff and sell good prices.

"Harvest":

Main thoroughfare annual income exceeds million

Shen Yi told reporters that Tibetan Mastiff has doubled its value in recent years. In 1997, only one Tibetan mastiff was less than 1000 yuan. Now a Tibetan mastiff is usually worth tens of thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan.

By 2006, his mastiff breeding base was finally on the right track. Over the past 3 years, assets have reached about 3 million yuan.

A Tibetan mastiff usually produces a litter of babies a year after the age of 1. There are 12 when there are more than one child. There are 6 females in the nest.

When Tibetan mastiff grows up, the benefits will be considerable.

Those who came to buy Tibetan mastiff were mostly private entrepreneurs from Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi.

At present, 10 adult mastiff in his hands are priced over 20 thousand yuan. Among them, a tramp (black mastiff) is the most expensive and worth 200 thousand yuan.

20 small Tibetan mastiff, each price is more than 10 thousand yuan.

But Shen can't keep cash in his hand. For example, although there are about one million yuan on hand, he must buy three pure Tibetan mastiff to change his lineage.

The market of Tibetan mastiff is polarized. The price is below 10 thousand yuan and the price is better than 50 thousand yuan.

Shen chose to raise the purity of the Tibetan mastiff and attack the most important market.

This naturally requires a large amount of money and 1 million yuan to be sold immediately, and it can only buy 3 good varieties. One of the Tibetan Mastiff in Henan has been negotiated, and 500 thousand yuan is ready to be introduced next month.

Mating also has income.

Others come with their mother mastiff to breed, each time can charge 8000 yuan ~15000 yuan.

Outlook:

Hope to establish Tibetan Mastiff Association in Han Dynasty

Relying on the cultivation of Tibetan mastiff, Shen Yi became the "rich man" in the eyes of his neighbors.

Some people also began to get involved in raising Tibetan mastiff. Because of inexperience, many people came to him for advice.

In this regard, Shen Yi never kept any doubts, and explained everything as clearly as possible. When necessary, the technical consultant himself went to ask for advice or guide breeding.

Aren't you afraid of becoming a competitor?

Shen Yi believes that in Beijing, there are more than 500 specialized households for raising Tibetan mastiff, while only 20 in Wuhan, and the cake in the market is quite large.

Moreover, his current strength has ranked the top three in Han, and there is no need to worry about the run of small specialized households.

In addition, his customers are basically outside the province and have no direct competition with local farmers.

Seeing that some small specialized households began to get rich under their own driving force, Shen Yi's confidence in the industry also increased again.

He hoped to establish a Tibetan Mastiff Association in Wuhan and exchange with colleagues. If necessary, it could also ally with Beijing, Henan and other Tibetan mastiff breeding areas and raise the mastiff industry together.

Raising Tibetan mastiff needs high risk

Shen Yi reminded people intending to invest in breeding Tibetan mastiff, any industry has investment risk, Tibetan mastiff breeding is more risky.

The first is paction risk.

As mentioned earlier, in the market, sellers often use worthless Tibetan dogs as masquerading as Tibetan mastiff.

The two is breeding risk.

There is a saying in the circle of raising the mastiff that high investment can bring high returns. The prerequisite is that your mastiff must be a fine product.

High investment is often accompanied by high risk. If Tibetan mastiff gets sick and died due to lack of breeding conditions and breeding techniques, the farmers will lose their blood.

The three is product risk.

The Tibetan mastiff raised by many farmers is not very good because of its poor quality.

Some Tibetan mastiff is very good when they are young, but there is a flaw in adulthood, which can not sell the price.

Shen Yi reminded the public to cultivate Tibetan mastiff.

For example, last year, the news media reported that two college graduates in Chengdu quit their jobs, sold their cars and sold their cars from their families, and began to raise Tibetan mastiff.
