"selenium-rich" makes my entrepreneurial dream no longer a dream.

Three years ago, several young college students planted their "entrepreneurial dreams" in the selenium-rich land of Ping'an District, Haidong City. three years later, with the help of the east wind of "selenium", they realized their entrepreneurial dreams.

"at the end of 2013, I learned through my friends that the winter greenhouse of the demonstration base of selenium-rich fruit trees in Baishengou, Ping'an District, was rented to college and secondary school graduates. After discussing with my family, I rented 19 greenhouses." Said Li Zhanping, a college student entrepreneur. At that time, under the coordination of the Ping an League and District Committee, Li Zhanping and they were able to enjoy the preferential policy of waiving the two-year shed rent and 10,000 yuan in loans for each shed. At this point, several college students gave up their careers as general manager of the Internet company and angel in white, and embarked on the entrepreneurial road of "facing the loess and facing the sky" in the development of fruit and vegetable cultivation.

At the beginning of the business in 2013, fruit saplings and vegetable seeds were planted in the greenhouse, but without water, the seedlings were dying; when the vegetables were ripe, they could not afford to pay for labor, so they had to mobilize their families to help pick vegetables; because the prices of vegetables were too low, many vegetables could not be sold, and some of them had set up stalls in the morning market to sell vegetables. "at the beginning, the selenium-rich base was not yet fully built, such as water and roads were not perfect, and the saplings ran out of water and collapsed on the ground. the Youth League Committee of the Ping'an District coordinated the fire brigade and drove fire engines to water our saplings." Gan Ning, a college student entrepreneur and a professional cooperative of Ping an Chuangqing selenium-rich vegetable planting Co-operative, said. This year, due to infrastructure, planting technology and other reasons, their respective 19 greenhouses are basically "zero income".

In 2014, "there is about 12000 yuan in income, at least the labor cost can be paid out." Gan Ning said. In 2015, excluding labor costs, each greenhouse in Ganning had a net income of 10,000 yuan. At the end of the year, Ganning, who had money, began to upgrade the varieties of vegetables grown in the greenhouse, introducing some new varieties, such as broccoli and hollow cabbage, from other places. These vegetables are also relatively higher than ordinary vegetables because they are rich in "selenium."

In 2016, the income of a shed in Ganning could reach 20,000 yuan. Ganning supplied some of the "selenium-rich vegetables" in 19 greenhouses to four supermarkets in Pingan District, and the rest were sold to vegetable wholesalers and morning markets.

On June 14, at the selenium-rich fruit tree planting base in Shigouyan, Pingan Town, Pingan District, the picking of nectarines in the greenhouse was over. The current job is to prune the "old branches" of the nectarine trees that had hung the fruit, and then let it grow new shoots the next year. Gan Ning is pruning branches in his greenhouse, while trimming branches, while instructing farmers who come to work in the shed which branches should be pruned and those that should be preserved. Planting seedlings, covering with plastic film, watering, fertilizing. Since she started her business in 2013, Gan Ning has been doing these seemingly simple but tedious work in the 19 greenhouses she contracted. She interprets the harvest that belongs to her with her industrious hands.

"this year, my own fruit and vegetable cultivation is also mature, because we grow pollution-free" zero addition "organic vegetables, so the demand for organic fertilizer is relatively large. In the next step, I intend to develop the aquaculture industry and make full use of those organic fertilizers." Gan Ning said to the reporter energetically.

In June 2015, Xing Youzhi contracted 24 modern greenhouses at the selenium-rich base in Shenjia Village, Ping'an Town, Pingan District. For Xing Youzhi, a college student entrepreneur who has been growing fruits and vegetables in Xunhua since 2013, she has set her sights on the future of "safe and rich selenium" in a greenhouse in a peaceful area. In the past few days, Xing Youzhi has innovated the channels to increase the income of fruit and vegetable planting. By contracting the Zhangjiazhai intelligent glass greenhouse in Pingan Town, Pingan District, Xing Youzhi will build it into a fruit and vegetable exhibition shed to develop tourism and leisure integrated sightseeing agriculture.

From the beginning, after going through a lot of difficulties, more than a dozen greenhouses lost money and made no profit, to the present income of 20,000 yuan per shed, Li Zhanping, Ganning, Xing Youzhi …... These college student entrepreneurs, they have their own way to prove to us, "ride the wind and waves will sometimes, hang high cloud sail in the sea forward bravely."
