Farmer entrepreneur Wu Tianxi’s business was in Jiasong Town. Wu was once known as the “richest man in town”. Walking 26 kilometers southwest of Zhenping County, you will reach Jia Song Town, known as "Little Shanghai", where Wu Tianxi made his fortune.

Looking at the yellow pages of Henan Telecom Company, you can see two companies for which Wu Tianxi serves as the legal representative: Zhenping County Jia Song Halal Refrigeration Factory and Zhenping County Jia Song Food Series (Group) Co., Ltd.

Walking around the streets of Jia Song Town, you will see wholesale and retail markets such as Huaxing Market, Huaxin Market, Shoes and Hats Market, and Non-staple Food City. People familiar with the situation said that most of these markets were established by Wu Tianxi, and he also made huge profits from them.

The history of Wu Tianxi’s fortune is called a legend by local people. “Wu Tianxi was very poor when he was young and could not borrow even a few cents from anyone.”

Wu Tianxi graduated from junior high school and is nearly 1.9 meters tall. According to the people in the town, the Wu family is very poor, and Wu Tianxi spends a lot of money on clothes and food, so it is difficult to find a wife, and he did not get married until he was over 30 years old. After graduating from junior high school, Wu Tianxi traveled from village to village collecting and slaughtering sheep, but he didn't make much money. Around the 1970s, Wu Tianxi went to Jingmen, Hubei Province to pull carts for people, and met a group of friends.

According to the memories of Wu Tianxi’s friends, in 1984, Wu Tianxi returned to Jiasong Town and co-opened a brick factory with others, and later started working alone. He opened a brick factory and was regarded as a "crab-eater" in the local area. Because there are few brick factories, although a brick can earn two or three cents at most, the large quantity can make a lot of money.

Subsequently, Wu Tianxi opened another flour mill, which was similar to the brick factory and prospered for several years.

“The flour mill has twelve dough-making machines, all of which are running at the same time. Especially during the Chinese New Year and holidays, there are long queues in front of the flour mill waiting to make or change dough.” Said a villager from Jia Song who lives just opposite the flour mill when he was young.

In the late 1980s, Wu Tianxi, who ran a brick factory and a flour mill, had become a big shot in the eyes of local people. Around 1988, Wu Tianxi opened a freezing factory with the help of friends in Jingmen. After that, Wu Tianxi entered the peak of his career as a farmer entrepreneur. Wu Tianxi, the "richest man in Zhenping", became prosperous and became the boss of Jiasong Town and Zhenping County. However, in recent years, due to poor management, Wu Tianxi's business has gradually become deserted and declined. But strangely, Wu Tianxi's business has gone downhill while his political honors have increased.
