In 2008, one midnight in the middle of winter, the wind was biting and the night was dark. The clock had struck 1am. Zhongdule Village at the foot of Langya Mountain was lost in the vast night, and everything was pitch black. . Only the main room of Guo Hecheng's house in the west end of the village was still brightly lit. Guo Hecheng and his wife Yang Jinying were sitting on the sofa, not at all sleepy. It turned out that they were planning an earth-shattering event, spending more than 10 million yuan to build a freezer to solve the village's fruit storage problem. It’s difficult! More than 10 million yuan, for a farming family without much financial resources, that is really an astronomical figure.
Guo Hecheng frowned and looked solemn. He looked at his wife who had been with him through thick and thin. He slapped his thigh and said loudly: "No matter how great the difficulty is, we have to go up!" His wife Yang Jinying expressed her love and determination with love and determination. She looked at her husband with eyes and said: "There is no mountain that cannot be overcome. I will find a way to finance it." In this way, the couple hit it off and reached a common understanding about building a freezer.
Guo Hecheng has many brothers and sisters. Once this matter was made public in the family, the family exploded. None of the brothers and sisters did not object. Everyone agreed that they were wasting their money. People who do good things in the village are also gossiping, and cynicism is endless.
As the saying goes: If you are not a family, you will not enter the same family. Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying have similar temperaments and are both stubborn. They insist on doing things that others think are impossible. Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains. The sarcastic remarks did not shake their determination at all, but encouraged them to persevere. In the words of the couple: "We want to show everyone whether chicken feathers can reach the sky!"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying are deeply aware of this. Experienced.
In the early spring of 2009, the cold storage project was launched. In order to save manpower and capital expenses, the couple went to work in person, worked with the workers, and lived and ate on the construction site. Husband Guo Hecheng, although not tall and very thin, can work as hard as two people; Yang Jinying is tall, has a thin body, and has endless energy when working. However, how easy is it to build a 2,600-square-meter underground storage room? At that time, the level of mechanization was not high, and the excavation of nearly 15,000 cubic meters of sand and gravel required a coordinated effort between machinery and manual labor. It is conceivable that the amount of work is huge and difficult. After a day's work, Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying returned home extremely tired and prepared to rest. They thought there was still a big gap in funds, so they ignored meals and rest and went to visit relatives and friends. home, to raise funds.
Several times, Guo Hecheng fainted on the construction site. When everyone helped him up and asked him to go home, he stubbornly said, "This is my home, and I won't go back!" Yang Jinying also said Zeng fainted on the way to raise money, and it was already late at night when her husband Guo Hecheng found her. When her husband carried her home and held her in his arms, he felt heartbroken when he looked at her thin body and pale face. He said softly to her: "You are too tired, please rest for a few days." Yang Jinying forced a smile and said: "Aren't you the same? At this time, neither of us can fall down." Yes, they are husband and wife. Your career is like a small boat sailing in the vast sea. The helmsman and the rocker are indispensable, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
The hard work paid off. After 4 months of hard work, the fresh-keeping and quick-freezing cold storage with an area of ??2,600 square meters and a storage capacity of 1,500 tons was finally completed. The completion of the cold storage solved the problem of difficulty in selling fruits in the village that year. Fruits in the peak season can be stored and sold in the off-season, and the price has more than quadrupled. The villagers no longer have to worry about the fruit not being sold and rotting in the ground. The villagers all gave a thumbs up and praised Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying for their courage, knowledge and courage, and for doing a great thing for the whole village.
The victory in the first battle did not stop Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying and his wife. Instead, they pursued the victory and moved forward bravely. A 1,061-square-meter fruit deep-processing factory was built above the cold storage to produce Heying brand iced persimmons, crisp persimmons, and persimmon wine... Now, it can store, process, turnover, and sell 9,800 tons of various fruits every year, with an output value of 40 million. Yuan.
Yixian Maoyuan Fruit Co., Ltd. was registered in 2009. For the success of their career, Guo Hecheng, Yang Jinying and his wife first thanked the party for its good policies, the party and the government for their support, and their relatives, friends and fellow villagers for their support and help. In order to repay the society and help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich, the company has successively established Shengqiu Forest Fruit Cooperative and Shengqiu Breeding Cooperative, transferring more than 200 farmers' land; more than 1,500 acres of slope land and mountain land; building more than 50 greenhouses and plum greenhouses; "Three Excellent" Fuji apple base covers an area of ??more than 200 acres. The company's business model of "company + cooperative + base + farmers" integrates production, processing and sales, and has basically achieved large-scale, professional and standardized production. Since 2008, Maoyuan Fruit Co., Ltd. has been awarded "Hebei Province Agricultural Standardization Demonstration Zone", "Hebei Province Forestry Industry Key Cooperation Organization", "Baoding City Agricultural Industrialization Management" by provincial, municipal and county party committees, governments and relevant units. "Key Leading Enterprise", "Excellent Unit of Yixian Agricultural Industrialization Work", and other honorary titles. In 2013, it was listed as "Special Demonstration Base for Scientific Research in the Public Welfare Industry of the Ministry of Agriculture" by the Ministry of Agriculture.
The success of their career made Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying just sigh lightly. They did not feel the joy or pride of victory at all. When they saw that there were still many young and strong laborers in their village and nearby villages who had no way to find employment and their families Life is still not rich. Instead, they feel that the burden on their shoulders is still heavy and their hearts are still heavy. They clearly realize that the establishment of the company and the development of the forest and fruit industry are just the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. Society is developing and the times are advancing. Those who are satisfied with one insight and one achievement, and just resting on the credit book, are bound to be eliminated by society and history. If you want to develop, you must not be afraid of hardships, rain or shine, and find new ways. After careful consideration, Guo Hecheng decided to develop the tourism industry while developing the forest and fruit industry, and provide one-stop tourism services such as valley rafting, children's entertainment venues, ecological garden fruit picking, tourist catering, hot spring bathing, etc., with equal emphasis on forest and fruit tourism. This important move is The decision was made, and Yang Jinying applauded it with both hands.
Guo Hecheng, a middle-aged man over five feet tall, has no outstanding appearance and no impressive speech. But he always has extraordinary courage and courage; Yang Jinying has a discerning eye, and she knows that every decision her husband makes has been carefully considered and will never make any mistakes. She not only admires her husband's foresight and foresight, but also spares no efforts and supports him fully. On the road to starting a business, the two have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and have overcome many difficulties. It can be said that they are like husband and wife. People all praise Yang Jinying as Guo Hecheng's good wife. The success of Guo Hecheng's career is inseparable from Yang Jinying's support.
In 2016, drilling in Hot Springs started. The drilling rig works day and night, and the rumbling roar of the machine shakes the canyon and resounds through the sky. After more than five months of hard work, the hot spring deep well of more than 600 meters was successfully drilled. Immediately after the Spring Festival in 2017, the valley rafting project began. Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying appeared on the construction site again. From collecting hillside land to putting into construction, building winding roads, laying water pipes, erecting glass water troughs, building artificial water storage lakes, and building rafting stations... Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying have not had a moment of leisure. They have not eaten for a year. After a relaxing meal, I didn't get a full night's sleep. The project is huge, costing nearly 100 million yuan. In recent years, the income from cold storage and fruit trees has been invested, but it is only a drop in the bucket and of no avail. They encountered the same difficulties they had encountered before - a shortage of funds. At that time, they were short of money and stretched. The shortage of funds seriously affected the progress of the project. At the most critical moment of the project, something happened at home. His son was getting married, which undoubtedly made matters worse. what to do? Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying decided to work separately. Guo Hecheng went to the county, city, and banks to collect project funds; Yang Jinying visited relatives and friends to raise money for his son's wedding.
The county and city party committees and governments have given strong support, but due to the large funding gap, the project funds have not yet been collected. Guo Hecheng made a prompt decision and decided to use the cold storage as collateral to obtain a loan from a bank, finally solving the urgent need for project funds. God rewards those who work hard, and the first phase of Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying's tourism project - valley rafting was finally completed as scheduled and opened on time. The underground hot springs have been mined successfully, and they are just waiting for the supporting facilities on the ground. The children's entertainment center is beginning to take shape.
Guo Hecheng and Yang Jinying stood on Bijia Mountain, overlooking the fruits of their hard work for several years. The drifting glass water tank, like a flying ribbon, tightly wrapped Bijia Mountain; the artificial lake storing water at the foot of the mountain , is like a mirror embedded in the canyon; the colorful children's playground is just like the legendary fairy tale world; the green ecological garden is full of fruits. All the beautiful scenery in front of me is like a dream, it is so beautiful! Seeing this, their faces were filled with joy of victory and happy smiles. They know very well that although they have assets of hundreds of millions, this is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. The business is not yet finished, and there is still a long way to go. The construction of hot spring bathing city and supporting rafting tourism industry are waiting for them. to complete.
We can see from their smiles that they are already confident and ready to face tomorrow's battle!
