Turn “passion” into business ideas

Although he had a stable job in the field of information technology, but with the desire to rise up and get rich legitimately. So more than 10 years ago, the young man Nguyen Ngoc Anh began to learn about koi fish by visiting many successful koi fish farming models in neighboring provinces, at the same time he also consulted more koi fish farming experiences from books, newspapers, the internet... After a period of research, Mr. Ngoc Anh started to try raising koi fish. At first he raised a few, then a few dozen. During the process of raising and trading koi fish, Mr. Ngoc Anh realized that as the economy grew, people's income increased, their spiritual life became richer and richer, so the hobby of raising koi fish also "blossomed". Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh was determined to invest effort and finance to build a modern koi fish farming model. Up to now, Mr. Ngoc Anh owns 500 koi fish. This koi fish business model has brought stable income and a prosperous life to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh's family.

Introduced to Vietnam a long time ago, but in recent years, koi fish farming has really "blossomed". If in the past we could only see colorful koi fish on television, in pictures or in tourist areas... today koi fish are closer when they appear more and more in public places such as cafes, restaurants, hotels... or in the living space of many households. Not only eye-catching with beautiful colors, koi fish also attract breeders because of the feng shui factor that brings wealth and luck to the owner and is known as the leading feng shui fish in the current ornamental fish market.

Coming to the profession of raising and trading koi fish by chance, Mr. Ngoc Anh confided: “With a passion and love for colorful fish, at first I raised a few koi fish for fun, not thinking that one day I would own a koi pond like that, because the price of koi fish is quite expensive and they are considered “rich” fish, so they are very difficult to raise, the breeder must really “pamper” and take care of them. And the most important thing when raising koi fish is to ensure that the clean water source is treated through an automatic filtration system, and the pH must also be suitable for this type of fish”.

In the early days of raising koi fish, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh was quite struggling to find an "output" for the product, but with the brave, dynamic, and sharp nature of a person with a "blood" for business, he immediately thought of social networks to turn his dream into reality. To make buying and selling convenient and quick, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh posted full images, origins, colors, sizes, prices... of each type of koi fish on the social network Facebook so that customers can freely admire and easily choose the type of koi fish they like. The price of koi fish ranges from a few tens of thousands of VND to a few hundred thousand VND/fish, sometimes a few million VND/fish. Depending on the breed, size, color... the price of each type of koi fish is also different. Therefore, players can easily choose to buy each type of koi fish that suits their economic conditions.

With the dynamism and enthusiasm of youth combined with the courage to “dare to think and dare to do”, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh in Quarter 2, Tan Thien Ward is one of the typical young people of the locality.
