Radish, a magic weapon to get rich in the eyes of farmer Huang Guangyong

The tall and thin Huang Guangyong, nearly 50 years old, was a migrant worker at a unit in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China. During the wave of creating "ten thousand yuan households" in the 1980s, he resolutely quit his job and went back to his hometown Yuanzhou Town to start a business. From groping for wine-making technology one step at a time, to wine-making and selling, Huang Guangyong earned the "first bucket of gold" by virtue of his craftsmanship and diligence, and became the first "ten thousand yuan household" in Boluo County at that time. He was also awarded the award of "getting rich through labor" by the Boluo county party committee and county government.

In the early 1990s, the clever Huang Guangyong saw that there was a profit in agriculture, so he contracted more than 10 mu of land to grow radish. This is also a challenge for Huang Guangyong, but he said that since he saw it, he had to do it carefully. Because he has no relevant experience and does not understand radish planting techniques, Huang Guangyong pays his own money and goes to the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences several times a year to ask agricultural experts and professors for advice on planting techniques.

I made 120000 in the first year of growing radish! In 1996, Huang Guangyong saw that a sandbar was abandoned in Liaowei Village, Yuanzhou Town, and there was no one to cultivate it, so he had the motivation to expand the scale of production. He contracted this unvisited "wasteland" and reclaimed more than 200 mu of land in one breath, of which more than 100 mu were planted with radish. With several years of accumulated experience and gradually excellent technology, the radish planted by Huang Guangyong harvested 300 tons that year, and 70 percent of the products were exported to the Hong Kong market at better prices, making a profit of 120000 yuan that year. Huang Guangyong made a fortune in growing radish, and the Agricultural Service Center of Yuanzhou Town took the lead in guiding according to the situation. Huang Guangyong took the lead in experimenting with several fine varieties such as "white marble" and "white jade" introduced from Guangzhou, and the results were very good.

Local farmers often ask Huang Guangyong for advice on planting techniques, and every time he explains them enthusiastically and gives them improved varieties for free. He said that he ate at home very few times a week, and because he often gave seeds to people who came to ask for advice, he was determined not to charge any money, so they had to invite him to dinner to express their gratitude. What can I sell in winter in the countryside? At present, farmers in Yuanzhou Town have an area of 3000 mu per plant, and Huang Guangyong has also become a famous "radish king" in the local area and even in Boluo County.

Radish is an inconspicuous vegetable in the eyes of farmers, but in Huang Guangyong's eyes, it is a magic weapon to get rich. Why? This lies in the difference in thinking between people. The editor would like to remind the majority of farmers that entrepreneurial ideas sometimes exist with us, as long as you dare to think, success will not be too far away.
