jumped off the pickup truck, dark skin, bearded Zou Zilong, just like a local farmer: fat jeans pulled up the leg, worn sneakers covered in mud. Zou Zilong tugged the pants leg, said, ? This outfit is convenient to work in the field at any time.
This NPC master, Peking University and NPC double bachelor's degree, seven years ago gave up the original can stay in the big city job opportunities, head into the remote village of Zhuhai entrepreneurship, open up the land planting vegetables, founded the organic agricultural garden, is now 300 acres of land farmer, perennial for the thousands of family dinner table to provide organic food.
Open up land and planting vegetables harvested love
From Zhuhai city to drive to the high fence port Ping Sha Town Green Finger Organic Agricultural Park, to more than 1 hour, this is Zou ZiLong in Zhuhai to open up the third place of organic farms. 2010, to obtain the People's University of China (scores line, professional settings) and Peking University (scores line, professional settings). Zou Zilong double degree, not yet graduated from the university lobbied two college students as a partner to Zhuhai to open up the land, one of them called Chen Yi good, the Chongqing girl in the NPC is studying art, study is a famous mountain climber, in the process of a mountaineering and Zou Zilong acquaintance and become a good friend.
In 2007, Zou Zilong entered the NPC as the top scorer of the Shaoguan College Entrance Examination, and he only filled in the agricultural economic management major in the college entrance examination; although he obtained a second degree in economics from Peking University during the school period, but in addition to agriculture, he had not seriously considered other jobs.
A few months from graduation, Zou Zilong classmates mostly choose to financial units and state-owned enterprises, and has been guaranteed admission to graduate school Zou Zilong still do not forget his dream of modern agriculture.
Chen Yi good before graduation was originally hired by a television station, the same out of the yearning for nature, in Zou Zilong lobbying, she defied her family's objections and Zou Zilong together to leave Beijing to Zhuhai; the other Zou Zilong lobbying to the University of the good brothers Feng permanent. The three of them contracted a hilltop in Sanzao, Zhuhai, and used the savings borrowed from their families to start an organic agricultural garden.
Although Zou Zilong is the study of agricultural economic management, but after all, no experience in planting, ? The planting standards are developed by me, but some of the actual production I also need to ask the local old farmers to teach? Just arrived in Zhuhai, there is no ready-made farmland for them to rent, rented hills not only to open up the land, but also do not have access to water, irrigation has become a problem. But this is not difficult to defeat them, he through a lot of experiments, and finally from a long distance to the spring water, through gravity pressurization to the mountain to realize the self-flow irrigation. There is no electricity, he used six car batteries in series to solve the living and production of electricity, and then pulled to the village to charge when it ran out. The day of the opening of the land, almost every day to spend 10 hours in the field soak.
In the long-term **** with the labor, his persistence, hard work conquered this wasteland, but also conquered Chen Yi good, the two young people wiped out the spark of love. In the meantime, Feng permanently chose to leave, defected to a real estate company in Zhuhai, since then Zou Zilong is responsible for the management of the agricultural park and take staff production; Chen Yi good every day driving a broken van full of Zhuhai, responsible for the delivery of vegetables.
In September 2011, Zou Zilong returned to the NPC graduate school, a period of time, Chen Yi good pick up the farm all the burden. In Beijing graduate school, one is distressed Chen Yi good too tired, the second is the heart of the farm, Zou Zilong said he dreamed of the farm, there are more than three days of long vacation, he had to fly back to Zhuhai overnight.
Once in the field, the spirit came
This year, the 29-year-old Zou Zilong's current identity is the Zhuhai Green Finger Organic Agricultural Park Chairman, due to many years of physical labor, the sun and the dew, wind and rain, Zou Zilong did not have a college age of the Sven, the body is very athletic, tanned skin, like Gutenberg. A soil is not dressed, and reporters talk to some shy, touching the nose from time to time, naive look more like a peasant boy, not the chairman of the grand style. Zou Zilong's father said, Zou family generations of farmers, it is not easy in the son's generation to jump out of the farm door, the results of the son, although he read a famous school, but came back to be a farmer. Talking about his son returned to farming, Zou mother shook her head, ? On so good university, also studied, and did not find a decent job. Although there are complaints, but when the son's farm has difficulties, the old couple or take out all the savings to support the son's business.
Zou Zilong's office is built in the farm field of a simple room, push open the office door, in addition to piling up some agricultural tools and fitness equipment, in his office, there is no boss desk and chair, no computer. Zou Zilong said, in addition to occasionally into the office to put down the tools, the other time is in the field, almost not sit in the office, so that the office is infested with rats.
Zou Zilong said he likes to deal with fruits and vegetables, and is not good at dealing with people, with the development of the company, he specifically invited professional managers responsible for the management of the company, he is responsible for the design of the park and the development of production standards, and every day to lead the staff in the field operations.? I sat in front of the computer headache, reading my computer is also long time not open, are moldy, a field spirit to come?
Now, Zou Zilong will lead the team every day in the field from morning to night busy. Sometimes less than 8:00 a.m., they have to go to the pigsty first to clean, and then come to the field to plant and pick vegetables. During the day, he would appear at any time in a row of fields, guiding the old farmers hired from the local community to operate according to the standards he developed, in his eyes, organic crop cultivation to eliminate all pesticides, fertilizers, hormones. In his eyes, organic farming should eliminate all pesticides, chemical fertilizers and hormones. Farmers seem to be completely ? Dead brain? Zou Zilong said, ? They are more accustomed to using pesticides and fertilizers, told them that they can not be used, they feel that we have not planted the land, not willing to listen to us, and finally changed a few sets of people?
Organic agriculture, first of all, farming. In addition to raising chickens, ducks, pigs and fish, they also raised dozens of cattle, Zou Zilong said, the main purpose of raising cattle is to collect feces, during the day a group of cattle were driven by employees to the lakeside meadow stocking, an egret and other waterfowl flew, and from time to time to stand on the back of the cattle, like a beautiful painting, cattle work compared to sitting in the office, for those who love nature, is certainly a pleasure.
The most difficult time when the whole farm is left to him alone
? Ideal is very rich, the reality is very bone? Zou Zilong said, from 2010 in Zhuhai roots to do the first organic farm, until last year to achieve break-even, which does not include more than six years of cumulative infrastructure costs more than 10 million yuan.
Doing agriculture is difficult to make money, do organic agriculture is even more difficult, a natural disaster will make the farm particles. 2012, super typhoon? The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in the past, and I've seen it in the past. Attacked Zhuhai, green fingers agricultural garden vegetables were swept away, breeding shed blew down, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep died, because the wages, the farm staff all gone, when his wife Chen Yi good just pregnant with a child, the whole farm only left Zou ZiLong a person in the management. Zou Zilong said that he was so anxious that he could not sleep all night. To help him rebuild the agricultural park, in the most critical time, the NPC's sister Zhong Qianlin with 100,000 yuan of funds into the shares, *** Youth League Zhuhai Municipal Party Committee also provided 20,000 yuan of start-up funds to the farm, and organized a group of college students volunteers to participate in the repair of the farm's roads. Since then, the agricultural park has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through consumer financing, and finally gradually overcame the difficulties and got on the right track.
Zou Zilong introduced ? Community Supported Agriculture? (CSA) model, which builds a direct link between consumers and producers (farmers).
Today, through this model, Green Fingers has more than 500 long-term orders from families, and nearly 1,000 intermittent orders from others, who are, in a way, both Green Fingers' customers and partners.
I hope my son grows up to be a farmer again not to be treated as a ? Rare?
Chen Yi good after giving birth to a son, in order to avoid the suspicion of family business, Zou Zilong no longer let his wife involved in the farm, focusing on home with children. The work of delivering food is all on Zhong Qianlin. That time can be miserable, just learned to drive, the side of the map, the side of the car, but also the side of the customer phone, in fact, quite dangerous! Zhong Qianlin said.
One night more than 11 pm, Zhong Qianlin sent back after the vegetables. Because of the rain, the mountain road is slippery, a careless pickup truck from the mountain down, head on a large rock, the car turned over the whole, the rear of the car stuck between the stones, there is a pond in the middle, was suspended over the water. I also followed the flip around, it was hard to kick the car door open, climbed to that rock, then aggrieved and cried, and then thought of asking for help. Zhong Qianlin said, ? Received a distress call, Zou Zilong climbed half an hour of the mountain road, it was not easy to find me?
Aspire to this kind of mountain life more people, really can stick down less. After the NPC student Zou Zilong pack mountain vegetable thing spread, at first a lot of young people flocked to this mountain. 2012 a year to come and go cumulative total of two hundred people, but ultimately only a very small part of the people to stay, become the backbone of today's force.
In addition to inviting some local farmers to participate in the planting, the current agricultural park has more than 30 official employees, the vast majority of which are university degree or above, the general manager of the original is the general manager of a foreign-funded company, because of the enthusiasm for organic food defected to them. Foshan girl Huang Changxian accounting graduate has entered the trial of a company in Guangzhou, saw the farm's recruitment notice after quitting his job to join the farm; Shanxi Yangquan boy Zhao Hehui study marketing, but also by the CSA model y attracted to the farm.
Zou Zilong said his biggest wish is to see more and more educated young people devote themselves to modern agriculture, so that more families can eat safe food.
? When his son grows up, even if he has a very good degree, if he returns to his hometown as a farmer, I hope that at that time, people will no longer be treated as ? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do it. , no longer like me so much attention?
