Migrant workers in Nanchong become billionaires and go back to the west to plant rare trees.

The technical staff of Xichong County Forestry Bureau and the staff of Junrong Forest planting Professional Cooperative in Xichong County inspected the growth of Lancet.

On both sides of the 6-kilometer-long village road from Renhezhai Village, Fengming Town, Xichong County to Baishansi Village, sweet-scented osmanthus trees, cherry blossoms, Xifu Begonia, red leaf plums, blue flowers, red maples, magnolia, camellias and other rare trees are lined up.

These trees were planted by an entrepreneur named Li Tianjun who worked hard in Shenzhen and Guangzhou for more than 20 years. In 1993, Li Tianjun, a 19-year-old from Guanwu Township, Xichong County, went to work in Shenzhen alone. In 2013, his construction company made an annual net profit of more than 20 million yuan. At that time, Li Tianjun came up with an idea-returning to his hometown to start a business. after returning to his hometown to investigate, the idea that "to plant rare trees is to save money" arises spontaneously.

It took 10 years for migrant workers to become big bosses.

In 1993, Li Tianjun went to Shenzhen to work to build a subway. "when I come to a strange city, my first idea is to make money and go home." Because of his poor background, Li Tianjun developed a hard-working spirit from an early age. After going out to work, he made a wish to make a career for himself. In 2003, Li Tianjun, who gradually accumulated capital, established his first company, Guangzhou Tianjun Logistics Service Co., Ltd., followed by Guangzhou Junrong Labor Services Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Mengziya Leasing Co., Ltd.; in 2013, Li Tianjun established Guangdong Junrong Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., mainly engaged in municipal subway, railway and highway, industrial and civil construction projects.

"I came out from the grass roots and was more concerned about the quality of construction projects." Li Tianjun said that although his company was established not long ago, because he has more than 10 years of construction foundation in the construction industry, he has undertaken a number of state-level key projects, which has won praise from owners and supervision companies for their good quality and high efficiency. and won the title of "star construction enterprise" many times.

With the continuous development and growth of the company, Li Tianjun's construction company has 213 employees, with an annual construction output value of more than 150 million yuan and an annual net profit of more than 20 million yuan. With the increasing growth of the company, "falling leaves to return to the roots" has become Li Tianjun's urgent desire.

Go back to your hometown to plant rare trees

In May 2013, Li Tianjun returned to his hometown, and the changes in his hometown caught his eyes. "at that time, I saw many people developing traditional forestry, and I thought, if you want to do it, you must be different. Even if you don't make money now, as long as you don't depreciate, I will be satisfied." Li Tianjun said that it was this idea that led to the investment idea that "to plant rare trees is to save money." After investigation, he decided to plant rare trees with high quality and strong risk resistance as the object of investment. "according to the law of the market, the slower the growth, the higher the value." Li Tianjun said that although the planting of rare trees is slow, but the trees are planted in his hometown, he is not worried about devaluation.

After designing the investment plan, Li Tianjun quickly communicated with the local government and invested more than 52 million yuan to lease 1600 mu of land in Renhezhai Village, Fengming Town, Fengming Town, Xichong County, Foguisi Village, Sanyuanqiao Village, and Baishan Temple Village. 20 kinds of rare trees such as red maple, red leaf plum, magnolia and cherry blossoms were planted, and a professional cooperative for Junrong forest planting in Xichong County was established.

On October 23, the reporter saw in Li Tianjun's planting base that more than 40 mu of blue flowers were lush and lush. "when this kind of landscape tree grows up, it can play a very good sunshade effect. As long as it blocks the sun, there will not be too many weeds. It is a rare landscape tree for urban greening." On the morning of the same day, the technical staff of the Xichong County Forestry Bureau said when working with the staff of the Junrong Forest planting Professional Cooperative in Xichong County to inspect the growth of the blue flower.

"now you can easily earn 2000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the annual income of growing crops at home in the past." Yao Chengxian, a 67-year-old villager of Yao's ancestral Village in Yihe Township, Xichong County, is an employee of the Junrong Forest planting Professional Cooperative in Xichong County. when he talks about his current job, he smiles all over his face. "in the past, farming, pigs and cattle made an annual profit of only NT $2,000 to NT $3,000, but now the prices of pesticides and fertilizers are so high that they don't get much money all year round." Yao Chengxian told the reporter that compared with the past, not only the income is higher, but also he does not have to "look at the sky to eat". He is old enough to find a job here.

The reporter learned that the Junrong Forest planting Professional Cooperative in Xichong County provides 30 jobs all the year round, with an average monthly salary of about 2000 yuan. At the peak of employment, more than 200 local farmers take part in the work every day. In addition to the forestry investment of 52 million yuan, the cooperative also brings more than 4 million yuan in land rent and labor costs to local villagers every year.

Develop rural tourism to drive villagers to become rich

"from 2016 to 2018, we will invest 200 million yuan to develop ecological forestry." Li Tianjun said: as the Junrong forest planting professional cooperative in Xichong County is located in the national modern agricultural demonstration zone, according to the 13th five-year Plan of Xichong County, the Junrong Forest planting specialized Cooperative in Xichong County will rely on current agricultural resources to develop rural tourism.

"at present, our job is still to plant trees rather than sell trees, and to develop sightseeing agriculture and tourism." Li Tianjun told reporters that the focus of the cooperative is to expand the planting scale of rare trees and develop rural tourism, so as to drive local farmers to participate and get rich together. In order to become a leading enterprise in greening and rural tourism, it is inseparable from the support of the local people. The implementation of forest "gradient development" and the combination of large and small trees must be a huge forestry project, so we must drive farmers to develop together.

"output value management, forestry scale and management concept are the core foundation of ecological forestry development. Li Tianjun's return to his hometown to plant rare trees is in line with the concept of building a green valley in western China in Xichong." The person in charge of the Xichong County Forestry Bureau said that they will strongly support this planting model and combine sightseeing agriculture with tourism to develop into a pillar industry in Xichong.
