In fact, success is forced out, because everyone yearns for wealth, and everyone is constantly pursuing wealth.
Seven years of farming in Zhuhai, the top scholar in the college entrance examination, started a 3-acre farm
Zou Zilong, who jumped off the pickup truck and had a dark skin and a unshaven beard, looked like a real farmer: fat jeans were hanging off his trousers, and worn-out sports shoes were covered with mud. Zou Zilong pulled his trouser leg and said,? This dress is convenient for working in the fields at any time? .
This master of National People's Congress, a double bachelor of Peking University and National People's Congress, gave up his job opportunity that he could have stayed in a big city seven years ago, plunged into a remote rural area in Zhuhai to start a business, cultivate vegetables and set up an organic agricultural park. Now he is a farmer with 3 acres of land, and provides organic dishes for thousands of family tables all the year round.
Growing vegetables in land reclamation has gained love
It takes more than one hour to drive from Zhuhai downtown to Green Finger Organic Agricultural Park in Pingsha Town, Gaolan Port. This is the third organic farm opened by Zou Zilong in Zhuhai. In 21, Zou Zilong, who received a double degree from Renmin University of China (fractional line, major setting) and Peking University (fractional line, major setting), lobbied two college students to come to Zhuhai as partners to cultivate land. One of them was Chen Yuhao, a Chongqing girl who studied art at the National People's Congress. She was a famous mountaineer when she was studying, and met Zou Zilong during a mountaineering trip and became friends.
In 27, Zou Zilong entered the National People's Congress as the top scholar in Shaoguan College Entrance Examination, and he only filled in the major of agricultural economic management in the college entrance examination. Although he received a second degree in economics from Peking University during his school days, he never seriously considered any other job except agriculture when he graduated.
A few months before graduation, most students in Zou Zilong's class choose to work in financial institutions and state-owned enterprises, and Zou Zilong, who has been sent to graduate school, is still obsessed with his dream of modern agriculture.
Chen Yuhao was originally hired by a TV station before graduation. Also out of longing for nature, she left Beijing and came to Zhuhai with Zou Zilong despite the opposition of her family. Another person who was lobbied by Zou Zilong was Feng Yongjiu, a good brother of the university. The three of them contracted a hilltop to reclaim land in Sanzao, Zhuhai, and used the savings borrowed from home to establish an organic agricultural park.
Although Zou Zilong studied agricultural economic management, he has no experience in planting. I set the planting standards, but I also need to consult the local old farmers for some actual production? . When they first arrived in Zhuhai, there was no ready-made farmland for them to rent seeds. The hills where they rented seeds not only had to be reclaimed, but also had no water, so irrigation became a problem. But it didn't bother them. Through a lot of experiments, he finally took the mountain spring water from far away and led it to the mountain by gravity pressure to realize gravity irrigation. Without electricity, he connected six car batteries in series to solve the problem of living and production electricity, and then pulled them into the village to charge them when they were finished. On the day of land reclamation, I spent almost 1 hours in the fields every day.
In the long-term labor, his persistence and hard work conquered this wasteland, and at the same time conquered Chen Yuhao, and the two young people sparked a spark of love. In the meantime, Feng Yongjiu chose to leave and went to a real estate company in Zhuhai. Since then, Zou Zilong has been responsible for the management of the agricultural park and brought employees to produce; Chen yihao drives a broken van around Zhuhai every day and is responsible for delivering vegetables.
In September 211, Zou Zilong returned to the National People's Congress for postgraduate study. For a period of time, Chen Yuhao took on all the burdens of the farm. When I was in graduate school in Beijing, I was distressed that Chen Yi was too tired, and I was concerned about the farm. Zou Zilong said that he was dreaming about the farm. He had a long vacation of more than three days and he had to fly back to Zhuhai overnight.
As soon as he arrived in the fields, his spirit came.
Zou Zilong, 29, is currently the chairman of Zhuhai Green Finger Organic Agriculture Park. Due to years of physical labor, sun and rain, Zou Zilong is not as gentle as he was in college, with a very strong body and dark skin like Louis Koo. Dressed in rustic clothes, he was a little shy when talking to reporters. He touched his nose from time to time, and he looked more like a peasant boy, without the style of the chairman. Zou Zilong's father said that the Zou family had been farming for generations and finally jumped out of the farm door in his son's generation. As a result, although his son attended a prestigious school, he came back to be a farmer. Talking about her son's return to farming, Zou's mother shook her head. I went to such a good university, did graduate school, and didn't find a decent job. ? Although they complained, when their son's farm was in trouble, the old couple took out all their savings to support his son's business.
Zou Zilong's office is a simple board house built in a farm field. Pushing open the office door, except for some farm tools and fitness equipment, there is no boss's desk and chair or computer in his office. Zou Zilong said that apart from occasionally entering the office to put down his tools, he spent the rest of his time in the fields and hardly sat in the office, so that there were mice in the office.
Zou Zilong said that he likes to deal with fruits and vegetables, but he is not good at dealing with people. With the development of the company, he specially invited professional managers to manage the company, and he was responsible for the design of the park and the formulation of production standards, and led employees to work in the field every day. ? I have a headache when I sit in front of the computer, and my computer doesn't turn on for a long time when I study, so it's moldy. When I get to the field, I feel refreshed? .
Now, Zou Zilong will lead the team members to be busy in the field from morning till night every day. Sometimes before 8 o'clock in the morning, they have to go to the pigsty to clean first, and then come to the field to grow vegetables and pick vegetables. During the day, he will appear in a long field at any time to guide the old farmers hired from the local area to work according to the standards he has set. In his eyes, all pesticides, fertilizers and hormones should be eliminated in the cultivation of organic crops. And this is completely in the eyes of the hired farmers? Dead brain? . Zou Zilong said,? They were used to using pesticides and fertilizers, and told them they couldn't use them. They thought we hadn't planted land and didn't want to listen to us. Finally, how many people were changed? .
to engage in organic agriculture, we must first have aquaculture. In addition to raising chickens, ducks, pigs and fish, they also raise dozens of cows. Zou Zilong said that the main purpose of raising cattle is to collect feces. During the day, a group of cows are driven by employees to the lakeside grass for grazing. Egrets and other waterfowl fly in and stand on the backs of cows from time to time, just like a beautiful picture. Compared with sitting in an office, herding cattle is definitely a kind of enjoyment for people who love nature.
He was the only one left on the farm in the most difficult time
? Ideal is full, reality is skinny? Zou Zilong said that he took root as the first organic farm in Zhuhai in 21 and didn't break even until last year, which doesn't include the accumulated infrastructure cost of more than 1 million yuan in more than six years.
It's hard to make money in agriculture, and it's even harder to do organic agriculture. A natural disaster will make the farm harvest useless. In 212, a super typhoon? Vicente? When Zhuhai was attacked, the vegetables in the Green Finger Agricultural Park were swept away, the breeding shed was blown down, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep died, and all the employees on the farm were gone because they couldn't pay wages. At that time, his wife, Chen Yuhao, had just been pregnant and had a baby, and Zou Zilong was left to take care of the whole farm. Zou Zilong said that he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night. In order to help him rebuild the agricultural park, Zhong Qianlin, a junior sister of the National People's Congress, took a share of 1, yuan, and the Zhuhai Municipal Committee of the Youth League also provided the farm with 2, yuan of venture capital, and organized a group of college student volunteers to participate in the renovation of farm roads. Since then, the agricultural park has raised hundreds of thousands of yuan through consumer financing, and finally gradually weathered the storm and got on the right track.
introduced by Zou zilong? Community supported agriculture? (CSA) model, that is, to build a direct link between consumers and producers (farmers).
Today, through this model, Green Finger has more than 5 family standing orders, and there are nearly 1, intermittent orders. To some extent, they are both customers and partners of Green Finger.
I hope my son will be a farmer when he grows up. Don't be treated as? Strange?
After Chen Yi had a good baby, Zou Zilong stopped involving his wife in the farm and concentrated on taking care of the children at home in order to avoid suspicion of family business. All the work of delivering vegetables falls on Zhong Qianlin. ? At that time, it was terrible. I just learned to drive, taking a map while driving, and answering customers' calls. It was actually quite dangerous! ? Zhong Qianlin said.
One night at 11 o'clock, Zhong Qianlin sent the food back. Because of the rain, the mountain road was slippery, and the pickup truck rushed down the mountain carelessly, hitting a big stone at one end, and the whole car turned over. The rear of the car was stuck between the stones, and there was a pond in the middle, which was suspended on the water. ? I also turned around, finally kicked the door open and climbed to the stone. At that time, I was wronged and cried, and then I thought of asking for help. ? Zhong Qianlin said,? After receiving the distress call, Zou Zilong climbed the mountain road for half an hour, and finally found me. .
There are many people who yearn for this kind of life in Shan Ye, but few people can really stick to it. After the news spread that Zou Zilong, a student of the National People's Congress, planted vegetables in Baoshan, many young people flocked to this hill at first. In 212, there were 2 people coming and going, but in the end, only a few people stayed and became the backbone of today.
In addition to inviting some local farmers to participate in planting, the Agricultural Park currently has more than 3 full-time employees, most of whom have a college degree or above. The general manager was originally the general manager of a foreign-funded company, but he defected to them because of his enthusiasm for organic food. Huang Changxian, a girl from Foshan, has entered a company in Guangzhou for a trial after graduating from accounting. After seeing the recruitment notice of the farm, she quit her job and joined the farm. Zhao Hehui, a young man from Yangquan, Shanxi, who studied marketing, was also deeply attracted to the farm by the CSA model.
Zou Zilong said that his greatest wish is to hope that more and more knowledgeable young people will devote themselves to modern agriculture and let more families eat safe food.
? When my son grows up, even if he has a good education, if he goes back to his hometown to be a farmer, I hope everyone will stop treating him like that? Strange? , no longer as concerned as I am? . ;
