After discovering new business opportunities at the age of 62

Highlights: short hair, belt tie, never wear a skirt, the average woman does things she can not do well. She is not afraid of hardships and difficulties in her career, and she is still discovering new business opportunities at the age of 62. She was laughed at by her friends as an old lady with a black heart. To build the Lotus Garden, hold the Lotus Festival, and organize a competition to catch Loach, she tried her best to attract popularity. Just to realize a wish that has been buried for many years. Look at Xu Dashan in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, how to realize his wish and let the wealth come unsolicited.

This is the Hebo Garden located in Lushan Township, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province. Tourists heard that the reporter had come to interview the people who built the Hebo Garden, which aroused their curiosity and asked them to guess who the reporter was going to interview.

Reporter: which one of these people looks like the boss to you?

Tourist: they all say that a full belly is either a boss or a partner. He must be the boss.

Interviewer: do you think the boss is in here?

Tourist: that.

Interviewer: why do you think she is?

Tourist: it looks like her. Be professional.

To the surprise of tourists, she, Xu Dashan, a 64-year-old lady, was the one who built the Hebo Garden. Looking at the old lady growing lotus in front of her, no one would have thought that she was the leader of the landscaping industry in Huzhou. Xu Dashan likes to do everything with the workers. Digging lotus roots under the lotus root pond is what 64-year-old Xu Dashan does every day. Every time she dug a lotus root, she was so excited that she wanted to show every lotus root dug up to the camera.

Xu Dashan: I am very happy in my heart. I can't even hold it. Look at this, is it big or not?

Interviewer: this is quite big.

Xu Dashan: the biggest. This is very young. Eat raw lotus root. Break it like this. This is young. This is a lotus leaf.

When it comes to lotus root, Xu Dashan is an expert. In order to let the reporter taste the fresh tender lotus root, she split the lotus root with her knee as soon as she came ashore.

Xu Dashan: see? Very crisp, very crisp and burst out at once.

Interviewer: you just said that this lotus root is the most delicious, right?

Xu Dashan: it's very sweet. Only I know the sweet taste. Into the throat, do not believe you taste, this has not been gnawed.

Interviewer: I haven't eaten this.

Xu Dashan: is it sweet?

Interviewer: this is very crispy.

Xu Dashan is proficient in all kinds of rough work, and she will definitely give up her job if she is asked to sew and mend with a needle and thread.

Xu Dashan: it's no good to take a needle. I can't do a woman's job either. Holding a needle is like holding a hammer, it's as heavy as a hammer, because I'm not used to doing it. What I can't do is for women to do what men do.

In today's words, Xu Dashan is a strong girl. This strong girl has been greening seedlings for more than twenty years. In 2013, at the age of 62, she found a new business opportunity on Lotus. In the first year of the lotus industry, sales reached more than 12 million yuan. Seeing that she can make so much money, her friends jokingly call her "black heart".

Jiang Jianping: black heart, that is to say, she is too energetic, even at her age, she is still so ambitious to do such a great cause. This is also a relatively close friend who jokes with her like this.

Interviewer: are you happy or unhappy when people say you are dark?

Xu Dashan: happy, anyway, I am good, as long as I am good, as long as I get the first place.

Xu Dashan looked competitive. It was only when the reporter interviewed that Xu Dashan's struggle had something to do with her wish that she had been buried for many years. What are the business opportunities hidden in Xu Dashan's wish? How did she let her wealth come unsolicited after her wish came true?

Pictures spanning decades ago.

After decades of short hair, I have never worn a skirt and like to tie my coat in my belt. This is 64-year-old Xu Dashan.

Xu Dashan: we used to be not a people's commune. For those who lived on their jobs, men got 10 points and women got 6 points. No matter how strong your woman is, no matter how powerful she is, you can only get 6 points and no 10 points, so if you have this bias, you must do your career like a boy.

At that time, it was the 4 points difference between men and women that made Xu Dashan very unconvinced. From then on, she began to move closer to masculinity in terms of clothes. Xu Dashan really can't do what ordinary women do. Up to now, she can't even fold a single piece of clothes.

Interviewer: what do you usually do with housework like this?

Xu Dashan: I won't do it. I'd rather rub it together and leave it behind. If you can't do it well, you have to sweat. Do this job.

Xu Dashan can't do housework, and she's not afraid to do it no matter how difficult it is. In 1990, Xu Dashan, who was still a worker, borrowed money to take over a company and began to make green seedlings. In the Huzhou landscaping industry, we all know that as long as Xu Dashan wants to win the project, there is nothing you can't get.

Xu Dashan: the heart is black, that is, I must get it, no one dares to come and get it again. I must take it down if I want to go in.

With a lot of momentum, Xu Dashan's company has become one of the largest landscaping enterprises in Huzhou from its initial small workshop. Xu Dashan's husband also resigned and followed her. By 2013, Xu Dashan had accumulated more than 80 million deposits by undertaking greening projects.

In 2013, Xu Dashan heard that there was a tender for a wetland park greening project in Changxing County, Huzhou City. She won the project of more than 60 million yuan through competitive bidding. In the whole project, 1.6 million yuan is spent on planting ornamental lotus and water lilies. It is precisely in this big project, an inconspicuous small project, that Xu Dashan sees new business opportunities.

Xu Dashan: when we bid, it seems that 70 yuan and 80 yuan are squared. I gave him 20 yuan (purchase cost price). This is not a profit, but a lot of money. I think there must be a lot of profit. Greening is now too competitive, here (planting lotus) is still partial.

Just then, a piece of good news reached Xu Dashan's ears.

Tan Xiaoyong, deputy director of the Social Development Office of the Administrative Committee of the Taihu Lake tourist Resort in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province: the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee has put forward a sewage control strategy. All the river courses were desilted, and after that, we did an overall work, that is, to build an ecological river course for some rivers after dredging.

Lotus has the function of cleaning water quality. To build an ecological river, it is necessary to plant lotus flowers. It was this good news that brightened Xu Dashan's eyes. The most important thing is that with Xu Dashan's observation of greening in recent years, no one in the area has planted ornamental lotus flowers to purify water pollution. She wants to seize the business opportunity quickly and set up the lotus industry.
