工商管理專業，2006年開始從事高品質錦鯉養殖

Liu Hongle, born in Datong, Shanxi on May 1982,business administration major, breeding koi fish from 2006.

劉瑞泉：“和錦鯉結緣是在2002年的春天，公司員工從菜市場買了兩條紅鯉魚，準備作為食材給食堂。我看到魚挺好看，就沒舍得吃，放到了廠區的景觀河里。沒有想到的是，隨意放在護城河里的兩條紅鯉魚，在一個月后居然帶來了驚喜，密密麻麻產出了四五萬尾小紅魚。我想既然有這么好的水系，能養魚，索性多買些魚來養。就到市場上去買魚，那一次，我見第一次見到了錦鯉。后來又在網上看到了真正的高品質錦鯉！”

劉瑞泉：“喜歡上了！當時就喜歡上了！那個錦鯉的魅力你跑不掉的，就覺得這個世界太神奇了......”

Liu Ruiquan: “I became attached to koi in spring of 2002. One worker bought two red carp fish from the vegetable market, preparing as cook food. I found the koi fish are good-looking, so I told them not to eat but released them to the man-made senic river in factory. Out of expectation, after one month, there were forty to fifty thousand little koi. Then I decided to buy more fish as such water is suitable for the living of fish. In market, I saw koi fish, and later on the Internet, I found high-quality koi!”

2002年底，劉瑞泉先生決定斥巨資，進入錦鯉養殖行業。為了快速掌握，錦鯉繁殖挑選的核心技術，需要大量的實驗實踐，海南自然條件優越，適合錦鯉繁殖，低溫時間短，適宜進行相關實驗開展。2003年，建立了東方錦鯉的海南實驗基地。雖然基地條件有限，但是通過2年多的努力，繁殖、挑選、飼料的關鍵技術基本掌握，并小批量育成了高品質錦鯉。

雖然小有成就，但劉瑞泉并沒有止步于此，劉瑞泉決定走出去，向國際頂級錦鯉養殖業者學習。一年數十次拜訪國外錦鯉養殖業者，交流學習國外最先進的養殖技術。雖然語言不通，但對錦鯉執著的精神，和對錦鯉的瘋狂喜愛，是他和國外業者所共有的特質。在劉瑞泉的邀請下，越來越多的國外業者來到中國，來到東方錦鯉，并成為東方錦鯉的朋友。

At the end of 2002, Liu Ruiquan decided to make investment for koi breeding. To get the core technique for koi selection, it takes lots of experiments, as the climate in Hai’nan Province is suitable for koi fish breeding and low-temperature time is short, experiments can be implemented with favorable conditions. In 2003, the experiment base of DongFang koi in Hai’nan was built. Though it was not well-equipped, after 2 years, staff in this base has got the basic skills for breeding, selection, and fodder, and successfully brought up small batches of high-quality koi fish.

Regardless of small achievements, Liu Ruiquan did not give up his efforts. He then went abroad to study after the world-top experts for koi fish breeding industry. He would visit more than ten experts in foreign countries per year to learn advanced breeding techniques. Despite of language problems, they share common interests and love for koi fish. Under the invitation of Liu Ruiquan, more and more outside partners came to China, visiting DongFang koi farm and being its friends.

2006年11月18日舉行的首次當歲錦鯉品鑒會，高品質的東方錦鯉，受到玩家和業界的熱烈好評。之后每年舉辦多次現場拍賣品鑒活動，每年都有一千余人次參加東方錦鯉的現場拍賣品鑒活動。幾年來，東方錦鯉出品錦鯉品質越來越高，當歲、2歲魚成交價格屢創新高。由于錦鯉品質高，品種豐富，參加人數多，東方錦鯉拍賣品鑒會被譽為行業盛會。

成魚品質高，水花苗種也受到廣大養殖戶的好評，東方錦鯉建立了龐大的錦鯉種魚種群。高品質的水花魚苗，為國內養殖戶，創造了跟大的價值。

由于市場認可度高，口碑好，而且符合中國新型農業政策發展方向，東方錦鯉受到媒體的關注，中央電視臺財經頻道，中央電視臺農業頻道，北京電視臺，東方衛視等，對東方錦鯉做了相關專題報道。

沒有規模化的養殖，就沒有批量出品高品質錦鯉的可能。2012年，東方錦鯉蘇州、常熟兩個千畝養殖基地開工建設，開始批量產出高品質錦鯉。

On 18th, November, 2006, the first appreciation meeting for koi in 2006 was held and high-quality DongFang koi was widely welcomed by many supporters. Since then, every year, DongFang koi would organize auction and appreciation activities and there would be over a thousand people participating each year. Over the recent years, the koi from DongFang koi is with higher and higher quality, and the selling price of the koi in that year and two-year-old koi is ranking another height. As the koi quality is great, the koi kinds are abundant, and with many attendants, the appreciation activities of DongFang koi is known as the grand gathering in koi industry.

DongFang koi has established large-scale parent koi population, high-quality marketable koi fish and spray fry have got a favorable feedback from the farmers. High-quality spray fry has created much more profits for domestic farmers.
