CATDOLL : CATDOLL: He quit his job as a civil servant and started raising 800 million cockroaches with kitchen waste. Now it has become a business worth tens of billions. What is its value?

The cockroach, which has lived on Earth for 300 million years, a much longer history than that of human beings, is now called "Xiao Qiang" by people. Due to its bad reputation, it has become a creature that everyone hates. Moreover, this animal is particularly dirty and very disgusting.

But in the hands of one person, "Xiao Qiang" found Bi Qi's own shining points and uses, and fought a battle of reputation in this person's Jinan City Kitchen Waste Treatment Center, and this person also became a wealthy man. This person is the person we are going to talk about today: Li Yanrong.

With a sudden inspiration, I ventured into the world of cockroach research.

The protagonist of the article, Li Yanrong, originally had an enviable job: a manager of a pharmaceutical company. He accidentally discovered the value of cockroaches and thus entered the world of cockroaches.

That time, he accidentally saw a video introducing cockroaches. The video said that cockroaches actually have many advantages and have great potential for utilization in environmental protection, medicine and other aspects.

It happened that the pharmaceutical company where Li Yanrong worked at that time generated a large amount of kitchen waste every day, which was very difficult to deal with. If the waste was treated by ordinary landfill or incineration methods, it would not only be unenvironmentally friendly, but also costly.

At this time, Li Yanrong came up with a bold idea: cockroaches feed on garbage. If some cockroaches are bred to specifically deal with the garbage, it would be both environmentally friendly and cost-saving. Wouldn't it be a win-win situation?

Li Yanrong did what he said, but this approach was unprecedented, so he also adopted a cautious approach, first raising some cockroaches on a small scale at home. If the results were satisfactory, he would increase investment and expand the scale of breeding.

In order to focus on his research, he even quit his job as a civil servant and planned to continue his research on cockroaches. He felt that this was a "blue ocean" with huge potential, and since not many people had ever ventured into this field, why not be the first to try it?

The "madman" who studies cockroaches

Li Yanrong initially got his family's consent to raise cockroaches at home, but after a while, the number of cockroaches increased and the odor became stronger. Li Yanrong gave up the idea of ​​doing experiments at home and moved the research base to another place.

After a period of intensive research, he found that these reptiles had extremely strong garbage disposal capabilities, even beyond his expectations. So he felt that the time had come to expand the scale, so he began to recruit talents and make arrangements everywhere.

At first, many people around him thought that his idea of ​​raising cockroaches to consume garbage was a fantasy, because after all, cockroaches were too small and it seemed that they could not consume much garbage at all. However, Li Yanrong ignored them. After all, he had done experiments and seen the actual results. He also knew that the best way to shut these people up was to speak with facts.

In his factory, tens of thousands of cockroaches displayed extremely strong reproductive and eating abilities. After a period of time, the number reached an astonishing 800 million.

The small amount of garbage delivered every day could no longer meet their needs, so Li Yanrong increased the garbage supply. At this time, those who had been making sarcastic remarks at the beginning completely shut up.

Because his factory in Jinan is very special and the number of cockroaches is extremely large, reaching an astonishing 800 million, it is nicknamed the "Cockroach Factory", which means a center that specializes in using cockroaches to process kitchen waste. He fully utilized the garbage processing ability of cockroaches and made environmental protection a bright road.

Li Yanrong was delighted by the powerful garbage disposal ability of cockroaches, but he did not stop there. Although he found a way to develop in garbage disposal, the huge number of cockroaches made him worried, so he decided to deeply explore the other potentials of cockroaches. Li Yanrong's road to commercialization of the cockroach industry began in this way. With his innovative thinking, indomitable courage and extraordinary execution, he broke through the waves and sailed across the vast ocean.

One time, when he was looking up information, he read a paper that said that cockroaches have a high protein content after being processed into powder. If the cockroach powder is fed to animals, it can improve the animals' immunity. So he decided to do it and did an experiment. He found a nest of chickens and fed them cockroaches every day.

After a period of time, the chickens he raised really grew stronger and stronger than those fed other feeds. So Li Yanrong found a specialized testing agency, and the test results showed that the protein content of his cockroach powder was much higher than that of ordinary animal protein processed products on the market. He also obtained many invention and innovation patents.

He found that the domestic demand for protein feed was very large, but the country's self-sufficiency in protein powder feed was very limited, so he began to contact those manufacturers who needed protein feed. Since it was sold domestically, there must be a great advantage in price, and the quality was not as good as those imported goods. Therefore, these demand manufacturers were willing to do business with him. Gradually, Li Yanrong's cockroach protein powder became famous throughout the country, and many people came to him to do business with him.

Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that cockroaches have the functions of promoting blood circulation and diuresis, detoxifying and curing sores. Modern medical research believes that cockroaches are rich in mucosine, which has anti-HBV activity and immune activity. Li Yanrong therefore decided to explore the medicinal value of cockroaches and open up the blue ocean of the medical market.

Moreover, his company has a great advantage, which is that it can achieve integration of production and research, because his company itself raises many cockroaches and has many invention patents.

In addition to making protein powder and extracting medicinal ingredients, even cockroach excrement has become Li Yanrong's magic weapon for making money, because these things are very good natural fertilizers and can be widely used in the planting industry.

These more than 800 million cockroaches have become a cash cow for him. He has established a circular economy in his company, dividing the factory into two floors. The lower floor is used to raise cockroaches, while the upper floor is used to grow flowers and vegetables. In this way, the heat from the lower floor can be transferred to the upper floor to meet the temperature requirements of vegetables, fruits and melons. This way, the company has the advantages of saving costs, expanding scale and industrial intensification.

Li Yanrong also did some calculations. Every 15 tons of food waste produces 1 ton of crude protein. The country produces 60 million tons of waste each year, which means 4 million tons of protein feed. The output value is 60 billion.

New ideas + fast action = wealth

Today, Li Yanrong and his cockroach center with 800 million cockroaches have become famous all over the country, and many newspapers have reported on them. Li Yanrong's love of research and hard work have opened up a new business blue ocean. His success lies in emancipating his mind, constantly innovating, and having a strong drive.

In fact, everyone can be like Li Yanrong. Now, the country is promoting new green concepts and encouraging mass entrepreneurship and innovation. If you can make innovations in environmental protection, it can also be a new way to make a fortune.

Are you saying that a business worth tens of billions of dollars has no value? Moreover, cockroaches can be used as medicine, so their existence is reasonable.

The value is that you have gained the courage to take risks and fight hard. As long as you decide to do something, there is no distinction between high and low. What's more, what you have done can effectively solve the problem of kitchen waste and garbage.

Cockroaches have great medicinal value and environmental value.

Cockroaches can eat a lot of garbage, thus contributing to the environment. They can also be used to feed poultry and livestock to enhance their resistance. Cockroaches also have the effects of promoting blood circulation, promoting diuresis, detoxifying and curing the disease.

Cockroaches can decompose kitchen waste and protect the environment. At the same time, cockroaches can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and detoxification. The antibodies in cockroaches can fight cancer. They can also be eaten as a delicacy.
