Everyone thought Chen Yan was finished.
Unemployed in the city, he returned to the county town with debts on his back, guarding an abandoned reservoir and an old house that was about to collapse. The uncle persuaded him to sell, his cousin laughed, and the real estate owner Gu Mingchuan came to pick up the leak with 200,000 yuan, thinking that he would not last a month.
As a result, that night, Chen Yan caught a golden crucian carp that was sold for 3,000 yuan on his first fishing trip to the Houshan Reservoir.
Since then, this small reservoir that no one cares about has started to produce miraculous fish catches every day. Some people line up for a bowl of fish soup, some pay more for a koi carp, and some go up the mountain all night for the luminous fish. Chen Yan got his start by fishing, turned around by selling fish, and turned a deserted back mountain into a popular cultural tourism spot by relying on fish farms, fishing grounds and B&Bs.
This is the story of an unemployed young man who defended his ancestral property, suppressed capital, and gradually expanded his business territory in the county.
