Abandon the high salary and return home to start a business and lead the villagers to become rich together.

Zhou Bin is a native of Shijia Town, Tujia nationality. Shijia Town is a high mountain town with inconvenient transportation and difficult life for the villagers. When his parents scrimped and frugally sent Zhou Bin to study, he also worked hard to study and took on the "iron rice bowl" of civil servants.

In 2001, Zhou Bin resolutely resigned as a civil servant and went north to work in the sea. "in his early thirties and frivolous ambition, he always wants to go out and work for a world of his own." Talking about the original intention of quitting the "iron rice bowl" at that time, Zhou Bin recalled.

In 2003, Zhou Bin was lucky enough to study in the major of used vehicle evaluation in the Department of Automotive Engineering of Tsinghua University. Two years later, he graduated and stayed in Beijing to engage in used vehicle evaluation, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan. Unexpectedly, he gave up his well-paid job in the capital and resolutely returned to his hometown to start a business. On the basis of full investigation and investigation, Zhou Bin decided to transfer the scale of land to develop kiwifruit industry, and set up Guangyou kiwifruit professional cooperative to expand the planting scale year by year.

Since 2006, 1000 mu of land has been leased in Shijia neighborhood Committee to grow red kiwifruit at the price of 245 yuan / mu and continuous lease for 30 years. At the same time, the farmers who lease the land are employed as workers in the planting park to ensure their normal income, so that the farmers lose their land, but increase their income. The workers work in the plantation with a daily wage of at least 60 yuan, which provides an effective model for the implementation of large-scale land circulation and realizes the intensive management of land.

"the development of the kiwifruit industry is to drive the villagers to increase their income and become rich." Zhou Bin said. A few years later, he made full use of his advantages, worked hard to learn planting techniques, and became an expert at growing kiwifruit. The journey is long, Zhou Bin is not satisfied with the status quo, determined to make the kiwifruit industry bigger and stronger, make a brand, out of Qianjiang, to Chongqing, famous throughout the country.

"I grew up in Qianjiang, where the economy is not developed and the farmers here are not rich," he said. "We need more people to find bright spots, take the lead in using existing resources to invigorate the economy, create wealth, and let our hometown elders get rich together!" . Since then, he began to vigorously promote the benefits and broad market prospects of growing kiwifruit, actively negotiate kiwifruit orders with customers in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing, and provide free planting, management technology and kiwifruit seedlings to the public.

At dawn every morning, Zhou Bin will come to his kiwifruit orchard on time. In order to develop the kiwifruit industry and lead the villagers to get rich, he does so almost all the year round, rain or shine. The kiwifruit in the base is growing well, with an output of 380t and an output value of 8 million yuan in 2012, driving the surrounding farmers to increase their income by more than 2000 yuan.

Although he has led everyone on the road to becoming rich, Zhou Bin is still thinking about realizing another dream: he has planted more than 200 mu of purple potatoes for tourists who come here to experience rural life.

"is the development of sightseeing agriculture your dream to come true?" In the face of doubt, Zhou Bin gave a surprising answer: tourists can come to pick purple potatoes at 1 yuan per jin, and all the money will be used to help the poor left-behind children in the surrounding rural areas.

In order to make the cooperative have more business space and further improve the influence of the cooperative, the cooperative changed its name from the former Guangyou kiwifruit planting professional cooperative to Guangyou agricultural stock cooperative. The new cooperative relies on Zhufojiang Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd., taking the development of ecological agriculture as the starting point, changing the single cultivation of kiwifruit into a diversified economy, mainly planting sparse vegetables and traditional Chinese medicine and fruits, supplemented by other agricultural and sideline products.

In the spring of 2015, the Guangyou Agricultural Co-operative Base can transfer 30 workers on the spot every year, of which 14 people are employed by the poor, with an annual income of 20,000 yuan per person. At the same time, the cooperative has also developed more than 110 peasant households in groups 3, 5 and 6 of the Shijia neighborhood Committee to join the cooperative, of which 19 are poor households with cards and 350 mu of ginkgo biloba and 150 mu of Polygonatum polygonatum.

While doing a good job in making the industry rich and increasing income, Zhou Bin did not forget to actively support social public welfare undertakings and carry out poverty alleviation.

"I think one person to make money is just one person to be rich, and it takes more people to make money in order to get rich." This is not only a sentence often said by Zhou Bin, but also something he has been working hard to do silently.
