Unlike other people with sudden riches, Wang did not spend his new found fortune on luxuries nor speculate on stock market. Instead, he had invested RMB$1.5 million to build a vacation resort, RMB$260k on 50 donkeys, RMB$180k on a new car, the rest of the money is invested on a fish pond to raise fishes and ducks.

Wang is a typical industrious peasant who likes to work.
In the summer of 2017, a giant flood had destroyed Wang's resort and fish pond. His fishes and ducks were disappeared in a flash. Wang did not even have a place to stay but to live in his tree house. His capital equipment is gone and with no funding source.

Wang had fallen in depression. He did some soul searching and reflection in the tree house. He had decided to sell his remaining herds of about 40 donkeys at cost and raised RMB$200k.
He used the money to buy some pigs and raise them in the donkey stables. He also bought 2000 chicklings to raise them up as "free range chickens". At the same time he formed a co-op for cultivating mushrooms.
