🔥 The Most Boring Business That Made $20B
How a pig farmer became richer than 99.9% of tech founders
Hey CashCowboys 👋
Today we're diving into a money-printing business that NOBODY is talking about.
Here's the wild part:
This guy made his billions from PIGS 🐷
Not crypto.
Not AI.
Not some fancy tech platform.
Just good old-fashioned pork - oink oink 🥓
The Numbers That'll Blow Your Mind:
Started with 22 pigs in 1992
Now worth $20 BILLION
Breeds 10M+ piglets annually
Saw 10,000% growth in first 2 years
Yeah, you read that right.
Here's the AcrebyAcre play most missed:
While everyone was chasing the next Facebook, Qin Yingling was building an empire in one of the most "boring" industries imaginable.
The secret?
He went ALL IN on vertical integration.
While competitors were busy outsourcing, he controlled the entire supply chain.
Think about it:
Breeding ✅
Raising ✅
Slaughter ✅
Distribution ✅
🤑 The Plot Twist That Made Him Rich AF 🤑
Remember the African swine flu outbreak in 2018?
Most pig farmers got DESTROYED.
But Qin?
He went from $4.3B to $35B in just TWO years.
How?
He'd already invested in AI-powered tech to monitor pig health.
When the disease hit, his competitors lost their herds while his survived.
Classic case of being prepared when opportunity strikes.

The Playbook You Can Steal 📕
1️⃣ Find an "unsexy" industry (bonus points if others think it's gross)
2️⃣ Control the entire supply chain
3️⃣ Use tech where others don't
4️⃣ Scale like crazy once you find what works
5️⃣ Be ready to capitalize when shit hits the fan
The Real Kicker?
Qin didn't need venture capital.
No fancy pitch decks.
No Series A,B,C rounds.
Just pure execution in an industry everyone else ignored.
And here's what most people miss:
🇨🇳 China consumes more pork than any other country in the world.
🐖 He didn't invent a new market - he just dominated an existing one.
🚜 Land ownership is a known money maker - so why go anywhere else.
The Money Move 🤑
Want to build real wealth?
Stop chasing the shiny object everyone else is after.
Don't go where the PUK is, go where the Puk is going.
Instead:
Find a piece of land
Find an essential industry
Look for technological gaps
Control as much of the supply chain as you can
On your own land
Scale methodically
Be ready when crisis hits (because that's when the real money is made)
The Bottom Line?
You don't need to build the next ChatGPT to make billions.
Sometimes the biggest opportunities are in the places everyone else thinks are too boring or gross to touch.
Land ownership.
That's your edge.
What You Should Do Next:
Look at your local area, is there a land play?
Look at your local "boring" industries
Spot the ones with zero tech innovation that can utilise your land
Figure out how to vertically integrate
Be ready to move when others panic
Remember: The biggest opportunities often look like pig sh*t to everyone else.
That's exactly why they're valuable.
