Entrepreneurial Dream of Post-90s Girls in Luanxian County, Tangshan, Hebei Province

In the cold winter months, the vegetation withered, but in the sister vegetable garden in Leizhuang Town, Luanxian County, it is a different scene. The greenhouse is full of spring, the green tomatoes are growing gratifying, and the cucumbers with thorns are crisp and tender. Some workers are busy picking, some are busy raising seedlings, some are busy grafting, a busy scene. Speaking of this, we have to talk about Liu Chao, the leader of planting fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.

Liu Chao is a 26-year-old native of Luan County, Hebei Province. Like many girls, Liu Chao chose to work in his hometown when he first graduated, earning only a few hundred yuan a month. I've been busy for a year, and I don't have much money left. In the face of this situation, Liu Chao, who did not want to be poor, set off waves in his heart. "it can't go on like this. Others are starting a business, I also want to start a business! If other people can live a rich life, I can't be poor all my life! " When it comes to starting a business, it's not easy. Although Liu Chao has ideals in her heart, she is very confused about how to start. At this juncture, an accidental reunion of classmates opened the way for Liu Chao. At that class reunion, a classmate who started his own business and became a small boss was treated. It was mentioned in the chat that organic vegetables were very popular and expensive in big cities. Although they were not in need of money, they were very difficult to buy in their hometown. It was this party that introduced Liu Chao to the word "organic vegetables" for the first time. When she went home and looked up information on the Internet, she found that the price of organic vegetables, which was almost the same as ordinary vegetables, had increased several times. Immediately, she felt that there was a business opportunity.

After Liu Chao set the direction in mind, he began to take the first step of starting a business. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. At the beginning of his start-up, Liu Chao, in addition to his own savings of several thousand yuan, can be said to be poor. At that time, no one believed that she could succeed except her husband, and no one was willing to lend her money. She went to the rural credit cooperative to make a loan, because there was no mortgage and guarantee, the credit union did not give a loan. Liu Chao could only borrow from east to west, and finally raised 50,000 yuan. In order to save money, she is reluctant to pay people to do the work, all by herself. She built a greenhouse, bought seeds, raised seedlings, prepared the land, and bought plastic film, ranging from how to tie each wire to the structure of the shed. In this way, Liu Chao worked day and night for a month, and the first batch of 26 greenhouses were successfully completed, with cucumbers, peppers, peaches, tomatoes and other organic fruits and vegetables planted in the greenhouses.

With no technical knowledge and no experience, she learns from books, neighbors and peers. Whenever a training course on greenhouse vegetable production was held in the town, she listened carefully and memorized it in detail. Thanks to her careful management, the vegetables grow very well. In the autumn of that year, a catering operator visited the park and immediately signed a long-term purchase contract, making a full profit of 100000 yuan a year. Looking at the "first bucket of gold" she earned, her confidence and courage doubled.

With the success of the first battle, Liu Chao's entrepreneurial vision has been broadened, and the planning of the park has become more scientific and reasonable. Over the past few years, according to the concept of high yield, high quality, high efficiency, ecology and safety, she divided the sister vegetable garden into three parks: first, high-efficiency agricultural planting area. Covering an area of 130 mu, 90 high-standard fruit and vegetable greenhouses have been built and put into use. The main agricultural products are cucumbers, tomatoes, peaches, peppers and other fruits and vegetables. Through experiments and demonstrations, a set of standardized and standardized means suitable for the production of fruits and vegetables in local facilities has been formed to achieve the production and quality of agricultural products. The second is the basic agricultural planting area. Covering an area of 120 mu, corn is the main grain crop, using organic bio-rotten fertilizer, popularizing the application of new varieties, increasing unit yield, increasing farm income, realizing the application of large-scale mechanization, producing green and safe grain, and ensuring the supply of local bulk grain. Third, tourism and leisure agricultural areas. Covers an area of 70 mu, special area for picking fruit trees, special area for farm food and beverage, etc., make full use of the existing natural landscape to form a "sightseeing, touring, livable" environmental landscape development experience agriculture and sightseeing agriculture combination of characteristic tourism. Take "green, healthy" as the concept, develop eco-tourism and leisure industry.

At present, the park has transferred 1000 mu of land, built 100 high-standard fruit and vegetable greenhouses, a vegetable sub-packing workshop and a biogas digester of 1000 cubic meters, which is a cooperation unit designated by the special bureau outside the province, and has technical cooperation with experts from the United States, Israel and other countries. the greenhouse widely uses Interfim technology introduced from Israel, fruits and vegetables and other products have successfully passed the national green food certification, starting a green, ecological and organic brand. The park has also developed into a comprehensive agricultural demonstration park integrating special breeding, characteristic planting, research and development of agricultural products, new energy construction and modern logistics, relying on the platform of "Internet +". Successfully established a sales network in the Tangshan Hehuakeng market and the surrounding large supermarkets, opened the product market. In 2013, the auspicious agricultural cooperative established by the park was rated as the national standard demonstration society; in 2014, the sister vegetable garden in Leizhuang Town, Luanxian County was rated as the national vegetable standard demonstration garden through the acceptance test of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Liu Chao never forgets his fellow villagers when he gets rich. Since 2012, through the model of "company + base + peasant household", he has absorbed more than 60 rural surplus labor force and trained 70 leaders of rural women to get rich through science and technology every year. At the same time, it has helped drive rural women to engage in 300 households of facility agricultural production, which has effectively promoted the development of rural economy in the local and surrounding areas.

As a typical representative of starting a business and getting rich, Liu Chao finally gardened his dream of organic vegetables, and he has been widely recognized by the society. Since 2012, he has been the president of the vegetable Association of Luanxian Women's Federation, and has been rated as the city-level Women's eighth Red Flag bearer and the star of women's entrepreneurship for many times.
