College graduates have successfully started their own businesses to raise the only brand pig in China

Chengdu Xindu District college student swineherd Long Bo and his girlfriend Wang Xu received a letter from the State Trademark Office. It turned out that their improved pig "plank" had obtained the trademark certificate, and the college students started their own businesses as swineherd to feed the only brand pig in China.

His Life

In the twilight, the lines of the brick bungalow become more and more blurred. This is the pig farm of Long Bo and his girlfriend Wang Xu. In late spring and early summer, the deciduous trees outside the pigsty have grown leaves < P > the size of a child's palm, and the green land is glowing. Further away, there are large tracts of rape, wheat and other crops, and farmers who return late are walking slowly with cattle.

A house near the road outside the pigsty, with an open door, is the office of Long Bo and Wang Xu. Long Bo is holding a book about Buddhist knowledge, leaning back in his chair and leafing through it at will. On the table behind him, there are dozens of books, including Tang poetry and Song poetry, Buddhism and Taoism culture, and adventures of sherlock holmes ... guarding these books are three fat pig-shaped piggy banks. When Longbo reads a book, his empty hands love to touch them. His girlfriend, Wang Xu, sat beside him, looking at the green crops that stretched out outside the door and watching them rise and fall with the wind. She smiled at familiar villagers when they walked by with hoes.

In the pigsty behind, the pigs are whispering. The air is mixed with the smell of pig manure and field wheat seedlings, but it doesn't smell bad. Raising pigs and reading books, Longbo feels that this life is quite good; When talking about the news that the painter Chen Yifei died of overwork in the newspaper, Longbo called his pig farm a farmhouse.

On his desk in plank

, there is a trademark certificate mailed by the State Trademark Office-plank, a thoroughbred pig bred by Longbo and Wang Xu, successfully registered its trademark.

The letter from the State Administration of Trademarks was received yesterday morning. When Long Bo and Wang Xu opened the envelope, the trademark certificate floated out. They laughed and didn't cheer, because they had a clear idea when they applied for a trademark in 23, so when they really got the trademark certificate, they just smiled-although there is no precedent for registering a trademark for pigs in the country.

"plank", a good-sounding word, was named by Longbo for the fine pig he cultivated.

"plank," Long Bo read this word as if he were reading an English word. He giggled, "It's a bit like a personal name! "Pu" means "universal" and "orchid" means "delicious and high quality"-look, how beautiful orchids are; Gram' means' healthy and vigorous'-in classical Chinese,' gram' means perfection! " This kind of pig has bright fur and delicious meat. It only eats two meals a day and only eats one catty, with low cost and high efficiency.

On the wall outside his pigsty, there is a "very rural" slogan: "plank-a black-haired pig who can make money!" This slogan makes Long Bo happy. For employment, please refer to "College students graduate and start businesses as swineherd to feed the only brand pig in China".

To see those "plank" in Longbo, the procedure is really troublesome: when we were about to walk into the pigsty with our feet lifted, Longbo reached out and stopped us-first wearing a white coat, being disinfected by white smoke from something like a sprayer

, and then you can go in-like that, it was not like entering the pigsty, but like a doctor entering the operating room.

But the pigsty is really clean, and you can't see even a lump of pig manure with your thumb.

His entrepreneurial history

In July 2, when Longbo University graduated, his classmates were busy making job resumes and attending job fairs everywhere, but he didn't attend any job fairs. "Why aren't you busy?" My friend reminded me, "It's hard to find a job now!" Long Bo smiled: "I'm going home to raise pigs."

He really wants to go home to raise pigs, and his parents jumped up: "You can't find a job. Isn't going to college just to jump out of the farm?" It's nice to work in the city. " In the face of parents' opposition, Longbo gave in. He accepted his friend's invitation to help him set up a company in Ya 'an.

In July, 21, one year after Longbo graduated, she decided to build a pig farm despite her parents' opposition. Wang Xu also gave up her job opportunity when she graduated, and she decided to start a business with Longbo.

the plan to build a pig farm will be implemented. Although Longbo has some savings, he is still short of 2 thousand yuan. At this time, the construction site of Southwest Petroleum Institute in Xindu is under construction, and Longbo sees business opportunities from it. Why not set up a stall and sell department stores to construction workers? Apart from the daily expenses such as rent, 21 yuan and water and electricity, they didn't earn a penny for the first three months. In order to reduce expenses, they go to the nearby vegetable market every day to buy market food, and a few cents can buy a lot. After 3 months, the situation finally opened up, and 1 yuan could be sold on average every day. Eight months later, Longbo and Wang Xu earned enough for the first pot of gold of 2, yuan.

Their persistence finally won the support of their parents. In October 22, the pig farm began to be built on the basis of Longbo's original pigsty, and it was successfully completed in November.

"College students don't stay in the city as white-collar workers, so they can't find jobs?" This is a joke of villagers when Longbo and Wang Xu first went home to raise pigs. Now, "Mr. Long, Miss Wang!" Those folks who were his parents called them that. ;
