Resigned as a civil servant to sell pork in order to pay 2 million foreign debts
The "tree hole", who became famous after becoming a debtor, has a solid understanding in the deboning and fleshing out
Resigned as a civil servant and took up a pig-killing knife. In 2021, Liao Lifeng, who had been chasing multiple outlets for debt repayment, chose the business of selling pork.
When I first learned to kill pigs, I felt sick when I saw pig blood.
However, Liao Lifeng persevered. He got up at 3 a.m. every day and operated two pork shops at the same time.
In order to expand his business, Liao Lifeng opened an online shop, and recently started a local pork, wanting to build his own local pork brand.
The business has just started, and he has not yet come out of the economic difficulties, but this year in front of the cutting board wearing an apron, Liao Lifeng is more practical than ever.
Precipitation is the year-end keyword chosen by Liao Lifeng. It is also precipitation and steadfastness, allowing him to see the hope of life.
Liao Lifeng 31 years old
Identity: owner of Guangxi Liuzhou pork shop
Annual memory: Ji University graduates sell pork to pay off debts
From 985 university graduates, civil servants to "pork guys", Liao Lifeng seems to have encountered life "Waterloo".
The 2 million foreign debts once made him breathless. To pay off the debt, he resigned as a civil servant, worked as a travel blogger, and tried to bring goods anchors. In the end, he chose to pick up a pig knife and repay the debt by selling pork.
Open an online store for live broadcast
Recently, Liao Lifeng is a bit busy.
While he was busy applying for the registration of the pig transportation permit, he borrowed a car to pull the pigs, and he also made bacon for the guests who were preparing for the new year.
In the evening, after work, Liao Lifeng and his wife will do a live broadcast of the newly opened online store, often until the early morning of the next day.
There are not many people in the live broadcast room, and they sell their own pork and agricultural and sideline products.
In the live broadcast room, customers have their own preferences. Some people want to pair the ribs with hind legs. Liao Lifeng cuts the meat for the customers on the spot, and his wife changes the price for the customers.
In addition to opening an online store for live delivery of goods, the previous plan to do pork related industries is also advancing. In the live broadcast room, Liao Lifeng’s mother’s hand-made sausages were well received, and fans left a message asking about sausage recipes.
Recently, Liao Lifeng has been busy with local pork. He hopes to improve the quality of pork and make it his own brand of local pork.
And on the short video account, he will share some pork-related life tips, "you must pay attention to not eating here when buying pig knuckles", "one way to prevent bacon and sausage from getting moldy", "which piece of pork is the most tender"...Liao Lifeng Said that, with the attention of fans, he also hopes to share some knowledge he knows with everyone, so that fans can learn something.
Others don’t understand the hard work behind
"Jida Pork Brother" is one of Liao Lifeng's labels, and "debt man" is another.
Because of two failed investments, Liao Lifeng owed 2 million yuan in foreign debt and lost his stable life.
985 school graduates resigned from civil servants and turned into pork guys. This somewhat dramatic plot made Liao Lifeng popular and has fans on social media. He even became a "tree hole" for those who are also debtors.
Among the debtors, there are civil servants who, like him, owed huge sums of money due to investment failures, and there are also young people who end up with high debts for making money and loans for investment.
Among them, the most sincere one came to Liuzhou to worship Liao Lifeng as a teacher, and wanted to sell pork like him.
However, this "apprentice" couldn't do it in a few days.
"He might see that I can earn 30,000 yuan a month. He wants to come to learn and think that I can also earn 30,000 yuan. Only then did he find that killing pigs is so tired, shaving pig hair is so dirty, and getting up early in the morning is so hard and cutting meat. Trouble, and then I can't hold on."
Liao Lifeng said that many people only see his joy in making money, but others do not understand the hard work behind him.
It seems that selling pork can easily earn 30,000 yuan a month and earn a quick cash.
When chatting with fans who are also debtors, Liao Lifeng often said that selling pork is as difficult as any industry. There are times when you make money, and there are times when you lose money. The important thing is to persevere and settle yourself in time.
In his video, there is no hard work of getting up early to kill pigs, there is no dirty road, and there is no pressure for him to be debt collection.
In the video, only those Liao Lifeng shyly introduced pork-related tricks.
Liao Lifeng said that after being watched, he did feel a little stressed and did not dare to express too much emotion, especially when he knew that there were many debtors like him among his fans.
"I don’t want them to see any negative energy. I don’t want to show it when I am uncomfortable or sad. I don’t want to bring bad things to them. I hope to give them something better, even for them. It would be nice to have a little help."
Precipitation makes me see hope
Precipitation is the year-end key word given to him by Liao Lifeng.
When he was overtaken by his creditors, Liao Lifeng also felt desperate and couldn't make it through.
In order to repay the money, he also chased many so-called "outlets".
In 2020, he saw that Vlog was very popular, so he bought some equipment and planned to be a travel blogger, not only could make money but also walk around doing what he wanted to do.
However, the sudden epidemic prevented him from getting out.
During the epidemic, live broadcast of goods became a trend, and Liao Lifeng became an anchor again, selling snails and lion noodles from his hometown.
However, the tuyere did not bring any money, and debt collection calls followed.
When desperate, he decided to become a pork guy on the recommendation of a friend.
Family members do not understand, outsiders ridicule, Liao Lifeng himself has experienced struggles and contradictions.
When he first went to the slaughterhouse, the pig blood was splattered with a knife, and he felt nauseous, and he would go home and change his clothes immediately.
But the debt on his body does not allow him to think about it.
He gets up at 3 a.m. every day and goes to the slaughterhouse to select pigs. After the pigs are selected, they are handed over to the staff to slaughter, shave, and cut their belly. After that, he pulls the pigs back to his stall, shaves the bones and divides the meat, and then starts the day's sale. .
The two stalls are in different markets, and he often has to be busy until ten o'clock in the evening to rest.
The debt collection phone made him dare not stop work. Once the alarm clock went out of power and woke up late, and he didn't catch up with the pig killing in the morning, Liao Lifeng became sulky all morning.
After selling pork for nearly a year, Liao Lifeng said that the biggest change in his life is from being busy in the past to busy in a planned way. It is not like the headless flies in the "chase", but the realization of the bones and the flesh. To be practical and valuable.
He has not yet come out of the economic dilemma, but he has already let go of his ideological burden and runs regularly between the slaughterhouse and the pork shop every day to earn his own life.
"I think I have a lot of ideas but can't realize it is much better than before. I do it down-to-earth and earn little by little. Although I haven't made a lot of money, I at least see hope." Wen / reporter Zhang Yuemeng
