工商管理专业，2006年开始从事高品质锦鲤养殖

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

刘瑞泉：“和锦鲤结缘是在2002年的春天，公司员工从菜市场买了两条红鲤鱼，准备作为食材给食堂。我看到鱼挺好看，就没舍得吃，放到了厂区的景观河里。没有想到的是，随意放在护城河里的两条红鲤鱼，在一个月后居然带来了惊喜，密密麻麻产出了四五万尾小红鱼。我想既然有这么好的水系，能养鱼，索性多买些鱼来养。就到市场上去买鱼，那一次，我见第一次见到了锦鲤。后来又在网上看到了真正的高品质锦鲤！”

刘瑞泉：“喜欢上了！当时就喜欢上了！那个锦鲤的魅力你跑不掉的，就觉得这个世界太神奇了......”

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，刘瑞泉先生决定斥巨资，进入锦鲤养殖行业。为了快速掌握，锦鲤繁殖挑选的核心技术，需要大量的实验实践，海南自然条件优越，适合锦鲤繁殖，低温时间短，适宜进行相关实验开展。2003年，建立了东方锦鲤的海南实验基地。虽然基地条件有限，但是通过2年多的努力，繁殖、挑选、饲料的关键技术基本掌握，并小批量育成了高品质锦鲤。

虽然小有成就，但刘瑞泉并没有止步于此，刘瑞泉决定走出去，向国际顶级锦鲤养殖业者学习。一年数十次拜访国外锦鲤养殖业者，交流学习国外最先进的养殖技术。虽然语言不通，但对锦鲤执着的精神，和对锦鲤的疯狂喜爱，是他和国外业者所共有的特质。在刘瑞泉的邀请下，越来越多的国外业者来到中国，来到东方锦鲤，并成为东方锦鲤的朋友。

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日举行的首次当岁锦鲤品鉴会，高品质的东方锦鲤，受到玩家和业界的热烈好评。之后每年举办多次现场拍卖品鉴活动，每年都有一千余人次参加东方锦鲤的现场拍卖品鉴活动。几年来，东方锦鲤出品锦鲤品质越来越高，当岁、2岁鱼成交价格屡创新高。由于锦鲤品质高，品种丰富，参加人数多，东方锦鲤拍卖品鉴会被誉为行业盛会。

成鱼品质高，水花苗种也受到广大养殖户的好评，东方锦鲤建立了庞大的锦鲤种鱼种群。高品质的水花鱼苗，为国内养殖户，创造了跟大的价值。

由于市场认可度高，口碑好，而且符合中国新型农业政策发展方向，东方锦鲤受到媒体的关注，中央电视台财经频道，中央电视台农业频道，北京电视台，东方卫视等，对东方锦鲤做了相关专题报道。

没有规模化的养殖，就没有批量出品高品质锦鲤的可能。2012年，东方锦鲤苏州、常熟两个千亩养殖基地开工建设，开始批量产出高品质锦鲤。

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.
