Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 302 Entering the Great Southwest

Zhang Zhiting's experience is also very amazing. He was born in a doctor's family in Zhenping, Henan. Guizhou, where everything is a treasure at your fingertips, has a convenient geographical environment that makes Zhang Zhiting more comfortable, and his accumulation in Chinese herbal medicine has become more and more profound.

After joining the workforce, he was a teacher teaching and educating people in the classroom during the day, and became a barefoot doctor who went from village to village to relieve common people’s ailments at night. He has accumulated a lot of experience in practicing medicine for ten years. The acquaintance has gone up a new level.

In the 70s, the county transferred him to prepare for the construction of a pharmaceutical factory. The pharmaceutical factory was quickly completed and put into operation. However, due to institutional and human factors, the pharmaceutical factory has been in a state of loss since it was put into production; The model gradually emerged, Zhang Zhiting was also tempted, and soon contracted the oxytetracycline workshop of the pharmaceutical factory, and shipped the tablets to Yunnan for sale after making them. He made thousands of dollars a month, but he also got into trouble because of it. Suffered punishments such as "illegal" income handover, suspension from work for self-reflection, writing an inspection to admit mistakes, and suspension of half-year wages.

A few years later, the policy was further relaxed, and he proposed to contract the pharmaceutical factory again. This time, it was no longer a workshop but the whole factory. One year later, the factory turned around and made a profit of 13 yuan. According to the previous agreement, 1 yuan was deducted. The contracting fee, the rest is his, but thinking about what happened before, Zhang Zhiting didn't ask for the money, and handed it all over to the county. This year's experience gave him some confidence in doing business, so He also declined the county leader's invitation to continue contracting, and chose to go home and start a business by himself.

He thought very carefully. Although the county pharmaceutical factory is large in scale, it is still not his own. The more prosperous it is, the more troublesome things will happen in the future. It is better to go home and open a small factory, so that the factory is his own, and the property rights are clear. Don't worry. Someone reported it.

After returning home, Zhang Zhiting began to think about what kind of medicine to produce. At this time, his years of barefoot doctor career played a role. In the process of practicing medicine, he discovered that poor farmers in rural Guizhou usually do farm work barefoot. Under the erosion of bacteria and corrosive substances, the feet suffer from ringworm, which is extremely itchy and can cause infection after scratching the broken skin. He has encountered many such patients.

It can be seen that this disease is very common in Guizhou. If a specific drug can be produced for this disease, there is absolutely no need to worry about the market. "Pure Fragrance Lotion" was sold at a price of eighty-five cents a bottle. Because it was really effective, it quickly became popular in the market, and Zhang Zhiting also made his first pot of gold.

This is also thanks to the imperfect legal system at that time. If it is left to the present, medicines cannot be sold casually, especially if new medicines are sold without going through clinical trials and other hurdles to get approval, they must go in and wait. last few years.

Afterwards, he took advantage of opportunities such as exhibitions to sell Athlete's Foot Cleansing Lotion all over the country, and even exported overseas, and thus attracted investment to establish Guizhou Miracle Pharmaceuticals. Since its development, Miracle has become a leader among domestic private pharmaceutical companies.
Li Lei wanted to talk to him about the history of Miracle Pharmaceuticals, but Zhang Zhiting seemed unwilling to talk more. Instead, he talked to him about his failure to help the poor. "At the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi, there is a place called Yaolu Township is a residential area of ​​the Yao nationality. Due to its remote location, it is basically in a primitive state. The farmers are so poor that they don’t even have a quilt at home. Men, women, old and children have no shoes to wear, and no upper body clothes. Dig a hole in the middle of the burlap, put it on the head to make clothes, farmers who have no food to eat skin the mouse, take out the internal organs, cook it in a pot and eat it as meat and vegetables... I just passed by and saw it, I couldn't believe it This happened in our new China, and I kept it in my heart, and I want to help them when I have money!"

"I went there again last year. After a detailed inspection, I found that the local water and soil are very suitable for planting honeysuckle, and our pharmaceutical factory spends a lot of money to buy honeysuckle every year, so I thought about it at the time. I will help them plant honeysuckle and wait for it to mature. When we come to collect it, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? They make money, and we Miracle Pharmaceuticals also get stable, high-quality raw materials.”

"I didn't know that I made things simple. I spent more than 60 yuan on honeysuckle seeds and fertilizers. I didn't want them to give them a penny for planting. I also said at the time that I would buy them all at a high price when they matured; When I was mature, I ran over excitedly, thinking that they would have money to buy new clothes and meat after selling the honeysuckle, but when I went to see it, 90% of the honeysuckle was eaten by cattle, and the other 10% was because no one took care of it. It was very bad, and the honeysuckle bloomed and no one picked it, and they all rotted in the mountains! Needless to say, I felt so cold at the time, I kindly wanted them to earn some money, and this was the end result!" Zhang Zhiting Spreading his hands, his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"We, Huinong, have actually encountered this kind of thing! I was also very unwilling at the time, but after thinking about it afterwards, I can't blame them! Because they have planted honeysuckle before, and you sent the seeds away, how many people I believe you can really go back to collect it when the time comes? After all, this thing needs to be taken care of, and it takes effort. If they work hard for a whole year and no one comes to collect the flowers when they bloom, wouldn’t their hard work be in vain?" Li Lei expressed his understanding. .

"So we changed the plan later. Even if we have money, we have to let the local people pay a part, even if it's only [-]%, and then we can give them the chicks. No one will cherish things that don't cost money. And besides money, even if I only have one point, they will treat it as a treasure! After the chicks are sent over, our people will often go to the village to look for them, even if there is nothing to do, they will talk about it, nothing else, just want Tell them that we have always taken this matter to heart, so that they can rest assured!" Zhang Zhiting's words reminded Li Lei of the incident in the TV series "Mountain and Sea Love", where the villagers in Yongquan Village ate all the guinea fowls distributed above. Well, this is the same as the case Zhang Zhiting just mentioned.

This is not just a question of helping the poor first. From a purely commercial point of view, you have to let the farmers know how the project is profitable, and at the same time use some methods to screen out the people who really want to do this project. The people involved in this matter, and then continue to provide them with motivation, so that the project can be successful. Otherwise, the farmers have no idea, how can they spend their energy on this?

Li Lei gave another example, "We also have several remote villages and towns in Heyang. The local economic concepts are weak. A few years ago, we still practiced the trading model of barter. We have not been able to collect money from selling feed to them! Sometimes they urged me twice more, and they just greeted me with fists and kicks, and several salesmen were beaten! At that time, they were so angry that they told me to give up these places!"

"I didn't agree, I took them to the hospital for treatment first, then gave them bonuses, and then asked them to continue to deliver feed to these farmers, and we will talk about whether the money is not in the future; after a while, a local commoner went to relatives in the city I drank too much at home and had to go back. I fell down the mountain on the way. Our salesman just passed by and carried him all the way to the health center in the village. After waking up, he was very grateful. Then after chatting for a few words, I found out that he had just used the feed of our Huinong and had not repaid the debt. He slapped himself a few times at that time, and forced our salesman to come home. After a meal, I made up the owed feed money at the wine table. Since then, none of the surrounding villages owed feed money and refused to pay. Therefore, it takes time to develop trust, and we have to be patient. At the same time, you have to pay attention to the way you work.”

"Hey, I wish I had heard what you said earlier! It's a trivial matter to lose 60 yuan. The key is to delay a year! They were able to live a good life last year, but the whole year was wasted in vain! "Zhang Zhiting patted his thigh excitedly, "I have learned a lesson this year. After I went to investigate where they were, I found that there is a habit of raising goats in the local area, so I brought in some good-bred black goats for them to feed. I will look at them later. People raise sheep very carefully, and I will collect them when the sheep grow up at the end of the year, and every household can make a lot of money!"

"Is that right! The local people don't know that raising honeysuckle can make money, so they dare not contribute in this area; they know that raising sheep can make money, and they will definitely raise it carefully! So if you want to help the local people get rid of poverty and become rich, you must choose the one they are familiar with or For projects that are understandable, you need to spend more time cultivating habits, and it’s not enough to just send money or projects!” Li Lei appreciated his choice very much, and this is a matter of mutual benefit.

"But this project also has shortcomings. The black goats even eat tree roots. It has only been half a year, and the local mountains have become bald, so I plan to wait for this batch of black goats to grow up before changing the project! But I haven't made up my mind yet. , Li Dong, what suggestions do you have?" Zhang Zhiting really has feelings for Yaolu Township, not only wants to solve the immediate problem, but also wants to find a long-term source of income for them.

"I remember that the Yao people also raise pigs. Raising sheep destroys the environment. Raising pigs does not have this problem. I can help introduce good breeds of pigs suitable for local breeding and provide them with feed! It is also possible to raise pigs and sell them. Earn some money; when people's living standards are higher in the future, they can also engage in bacon processing, ecological pig breeding and other projects, as long as they work hard, there will be money in the next few decades." Li Lei suggested.

"Okay, then it's settled. I will take you to Yaolu Township to have a look at that time, and then I will pay you to provide them with pig feed." Zhang Zhiting is very happy, and now his knot can finally be untied .

After several hours of flying, the plane finally landed at Leizhuang Airport, which was built in 1958. Before Longdongbao Airport was built, it had been the main airport for military and civilian purposes in Guiyang; A high-level welcome, and the senior officials in charge of agriculture personally greeted them at the airport, "Thank you very much Mr. Li for taking care of us in Guiyang. We will do our best to help Mr. Li!"

"You are too kind. Guizhou is also an important part of our Huinong development plan. Even if there is no such thing as this time, I will come again in the future! I will definitely trouble you often in the future, and please take care of me!" Li Lei was very pleased It is clear that he was able to come to the airport to meet him, not because of himself, but because of the inscription, the big leaders supported it, how could there be no response from the following?His appearance here is to show Guizhou's attitude. The big leader must be very satisfied when he knows it. Even for this, he has to do it himself.

Then Li Lei got into his car and chatted with him and Zhang Zhiting about all aspects of GZ Province, especially several areas that urgently needed poverty alleviation. Before he knew it, he arrived at the reception hotel of GZ Province. The food was ready, so We ate and chatted.

Li Lei took the initiative to express his position, "Although the site selection has not yet started, just like what I said before, Guizhou is an important part of our national strategy for benefiting farmers, so we plan to invest 500 million to build a 1000-year feed farm. Tons, a feed factory with an output value of more than [-] million yuan, and then invest another [-] million yuan to build a large-scale breeding farm! If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we will also invest more at any time!"

"In addition to the 500 million yuan investment, I also prepared 200 million yuan to build several Hope Primary Schools for GZ Province, so that more children in poor areas can have the opportunity to study; The poverty-stricken areas in the country will send technology-based poverty alleviation teams to help them tap resources and disseminate knowledge related to technology-based enrichment.” Li Lei spoke out all the plans he had prepared.

The GZ province gave me face, and sent a big leader to welcome it. Li Lei also gave me face, and finalized an investment of 500 million yuan and a donation of 200 million yuan on the spot. This was definitely not a small amount in 1994. Even a deputy provincial cadre should be satisfied. Yes, so the leader was very satisfied after hearing this, and quickly raised his glass, "On behalf of the people of GZ Province, I would like to thank Director Li for his deep friendship."

"After I have a good rest tomorrow, I will arrange comrades from relevant departments to accompany the inspection. No matter what land you like, we will help you solve it. We must make Huinong's feed mill and farm open in the shortest possible time! "The leader immediately stated that as long as Huinong has needs, he will give the green light all the way.

This is the benefit of raising the banner. If there is no name of Guangcai and an inscription from a big leader, even if Li Lei pays more, he may not be treated so well in Guizhou. That's why Li Lei said before, The Guangcai business is mutually beneficial. It can not only help local people get rid of poverty and become rich, but also promote the development of their own enterprises. This is a long-term sustainable business.

The next day, Li Lei started his investigation.
