Jin and Liu Cuiping are discussing how to make a video with traffic.
After 6 o’clock in the morning on September 27, just after picking figs, gold was broadcast live.
"Have you increased your powder recently?" They greet each other like this.
Gold grows figs and Liu Cuiping raises peacocks. The base of the two people is on a hill, less than 1 km apart, but they rarely see each other.
At noon on September 27th, they met unexpectedly in Zhangfei North Road and sat down for lunch by the roadside.
Both of them were born in 1986. Two years ago, Gold was the senior operation manager of the glory of the king Mobile Games, with an annual salary of one million. Three years ago, Liu Cuiping was still engaged in real estate sales in Beijing and opened a real estate sales company in Guangyuan, Sichuan, which also earned a lot of money.
Then, why did they suddenly transform and return to their hometown to become farmers? To this end, Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalists conducted an in-depth interview with them.

Using short video platform overhead path
I am most concerned about "Is it getting pink recently?"
Seven or eight kilometers away from Langzhong City, Sichuan Province, National Highway 212 passes through a mountain pass, to the left is Liu Cuiping’s peacock farm, and to the right is the golden fig base.
On September 27th, Jin got up at 4am and picked figs with his brother and sister-in-law and four villagers invited. The weather is cold and the dew is heavy. You must wear rain boots when going to the fields. But the grass is deep and leafy, and the trouser legs are still wet with dew.
As soon as the fruit was picked, it was immediately repackaged and sent to more than 10 stalls in the city at 7 o’clock on time. After 9 o’clock, he drove the van to send the figs ordered online to the courier company for delivery.
On Zhangfei North Road, it was Liu Cuiping who stepped on the brake and opened the door. Liu Cuiping is preparing a PPT for a speech. When she meets gold, she wants to "ask for help".
But when they met, they first asked, "Is it pink?"
"It has risen by more than 10,000 this month. What about you?"
Liu Cuiping plays Tik Tok, and Gold plays Aauto Quicker, and they all shoot short videos. The video of Liu Cuiping holding a peacock for praise has more than 2 million clicks. This is her most "hot" video. It has only been three or four months since she officially updated the vibrato video. At present, there are 30,000 fans, and her goal is to reach 300,000 fans in two years.
Gold’s Aauto Quicker account has also been opened for several months, but its popularity is much slower, but he thinks his fan conversion rate is better. Gold also posts in forums such as Aika and Tianya, which are updated every day and broadcast live in Aauto Quicker. The fans of several platforms add up to tens of thousands.
"The conversion rate is high because my figs are cheaper." Gold says that a box of figs costs only tens of yuan, while a peacock egg costs 100 yuan, and a peacock costs 2,000 yuan. Not everyone can afford it.
In addition to shooting short videos, Liu Cuiping also does live broadcasts. Compared with gold, she is fully equipped, bought a tripod and a live microphone that can fill the light.
When she broadcast live, she introduced her own farm, peacock and pheasant. Some netizens left a message in the live broadcast room, "Sister Peacock, sing a song." She giggled and told people that "Sister Peacock doesn’t sell art, she only sells peacocks". She is sweet and lovely, and 80% of the live broadcast rooms are male netizens.
Just after picking, the gold was also broadcast live, eating figs live, how to sort and package, how to plant them, and introducing that the orchard with weeds has not used herbicides and fertilizers. A netizen entered the live broadcast room, and he greeted him next to him. "Come, welcome the old irons … …”
On the morning of September 27th, there were only more than 10 online viewers in the live broadcast room. He said that it was very touching that someone came to watch my live broadcast so early. In the live broadcast room, some people asked to buy fruit, and some people asked to buy seedlings … … He answered patiently one by one.
After a little leisure, he would sit on the ridge and look up at the sky, lost in thought. In this state, he also made his own Aauto Quicker video, and he often posted it late into the night in the forum, recording in detail his own figs in the past two years. He said that he "sucked powder" by sincerity and hard work.
In this regard, Liu Cuiping has another view. She said that she should be "new, strange and unique, and she should seize the audience in the first three seconds" and "sometimes she has to be thick-skinned" … … As soon as she shook her hair, she acted like a wait for a while, then turned and walked into the pheasant pen and went to catch the pheasant with open arms. She told Jin, who was holding a mobile phone, that she must shoot a feeling of "very dragging".
one’s original intention
I’m afraid I won’t have the strength to re-plan the future in a few years.
Under the hill, it is Jingu Village in Shaxi Street. Grapes and peaches are planted in the village, which has long been a piece of scale, and some people have invested in building luxurious farmhouses. The local government is also trying to build the village into a cultural tourism project with drainage ability around the ancient city of Langzhong.
At first, Gold "quietly returned to the village", and contacted a familiar village cadre for consultation. The other party directly advised him not to come back.
When Jin was a child, his family was poor. He was the first college student in the village to be admitted to an undergraduate course, and he made a fortune in a big city. He worked in Tencent with an annual salary of one million, so everyone should give a thumbs up.
Come back to farm, everyone thinks this choice is unwise. In April 2017, he began to come back to see the land. It was not until October that he officially signed a 100-mu land transfer contract with Murakami that he told his brother and sister-in-law who were working outside. Brother Huang Jun became angry with his younger brother, but it was too late to stop him.
Gold left five years’ living expenses for his wife and children, and returned to the village with 2 million savings and a quilt. He said that if he couldn’t do it in five years, he would admit it and then go back to Chengdu to continue to find a job.
In fact, at that time, he was planning to start a technology company with several partners. Deng Jia, his former colleague in Tencent, told the reporter that he was shocked when Jin told him that he was going to plant fruit. This colleague, who runs games and deals with data and players every day, "crossed the border too much". But now he sees the marketing of gold to his orchard, and he still feels the shadow of his Internet days.
Liu Cuiping started to do real estate sales in Beijing. After resigning, she ran a real estate sales company in Guangyuan, Sichuan for several years, and the income was very good.
In 2016, she came back to raise peacocks. Its farm, located in Wufeng Village, Shaxi Street, was the house and land that my uncle bought when raising silkworms. When my uncle stopped raising silkworms, she took the site from my uncle.
Over the past three years, Liu Cuiping’s peacock farm has invested more than 2 million yuan. At present, it is far from returning to the original, and the monthly income and expenditure can only be basically the same. Liu Cuiping said that she has suffered a lot in recent years. Last time a TV station interviewed her and talked about these bitterness, she cried herself.
Speaking of the original intention of starting a business, Liu Cuiping laughed and said that it was "hot head" at that time. Gold’s understanding of "fever" is that he is about 30 years old and wants to re-plan his future. "A few years later, I am afraid that I will not have this strength."
future
Representatives of new professional farmers hope to lead more villagers to find a good way out.
In April 2017, Jin resigned from the game company, took his wife and children for a trip, and then officially returned to his hometown to bury his head in farming. He is extremely low-key and afraid to contact his colleagues and friends in the past. For a whole year, his circle of friends has not updated his movements. He is afraid of failure and "criticism", which many people don’t understand and he doesn’t want to explain to others.
It was not until the end of May 2018 that the orchard began to bear fruit that he took a group of photos in the circle of friends and introduced himself as "one year of silence, intensive cultivation in October, 100 acres of orchard … …” Friends just "watched", and there were more than 200 comments and praises at once.
A neighbor wanted to invest in planting with him, but he refused. "At that time, he had no bottom in his heart." He was afraid of losing money. "All this money was saved by their frugality." In the Spring Festival of 2019, he began to introduce his orchard and his long-term planning to the villagers. At present, he has received phone calls from seven villagers, saying that he will plant figs this winter and ask him for seedlings.
Liao Youjun, who works in Shenzhen, is a primary school classmate of Gold. He said that when Gold came back, it was hard for him to understand that he had to give up such a good job and come back to farm as a farmer. When he came home for the Spring Festival this year, he saw Jin "pulling branches and tying strings" alone in the field. He really looked like a farmer, but he was impressed. He has been working in Shenzhen for more than 10 years, but he feels that he will return to his hometown sooner or later, so he is considering planting figs with gold. "Just next to his orchard, start with a few acres of land and step by step."
Jin said that he expects to recover the cost next year, but the goal is far from being achieved. His ideal is that the whole village will plant figs, so he desperately does online marketing. Langzhong City can digest 1,000 Jin of figs a day, and its own 100 mu can be sold locally, but if more villagers plant them, he will try to sell them to distant places.
Liu Cuiping also sells her own pheasant seedlings and peacock seedlings online. Recently, she is preparing to open a peacock noodle restaurant in Langzhong ancient city, where peacock handicrafts and peacock eggs are displayed and sold offline. She spared no effort to "raise the powder", but also felt that with more fans, she could "bring goods" and drive other villagers to raise them.
Tan Chaolin, the stationmaster of the Science and Education Station of Langzhong Agriculture and Rural Bureau, is familiar with gold. He said that gold moved him and made him admire. This young man has confidence, determination and ways. His internet work experience made him do a very good job in marketing. The Agricultural and Rural Bureau specially invited him to give lectures. He was sent to Sichuan Agricultural University to study before. As a result, when he introduced his experience, he suddenly became a "lecturer".
In Tan Chaolin’s view, under the background of rural revitalization strategy, gold is a typical representative of new professional farmers. Tan Chaolin said that he is also very confident in the fig of gold, and the relevant government units will also give strong support to this project, so that gold can play a leading role in the local area.
Regarding online marketing, Liu Cuiping is also deeply touched. In the past six months, she has traveled to three provinces and five cities, all of which are for investigation and study, some at her own expense, and some are organized by the government. She said that in Yiwu, you can find various anchors and online celebrity by searching people nearby on WeChat, but in Langzhong, the marketing of traditional industries is still in the traditional routine.
At the gate of Liu Cuiping’s farm, there are several government-made signs, and the local government also strongly hopes that they will take the lead and lead more villagers to find a good way out.
