I have been very fond of raising more meat since high school. After entering university, I joined the Chuangye Association.
Later, I got the idea of turning my hobby into a startup project.
At first, I bought and reselled directly from other places, and then gradually began to cultivate succulents myself.
[Explanation] In the summer of 2018, Han Ying went to Yunnan and Shandong to visit the local succulent greenhouses.
After returning to Qinghai, Han Ying decided to wholesale and sell meaty finished products in advance and gradually cultivate independently.
[Site] This is the succulent and succulent grafted species we are currently cultivating. It combines this kind of pile type and this kind of group grafting together, because its pile type leaves are relatively monotonous, in terms of ornamental purposes. It is relatively lacking.

At the beginning, I was short of money and people. When the most difficult time, my parents came to help. I was busy until midnight every night to go home. It was very hard.

[Explanation] In the early days of entrepreneurship, Han Ying also suffered setbacks.
Due to the sudden drop in temperature, a batch of high-quality meats was broken, and more than 30,000 yuan was lost.
However, just like the fleshy characteristics, a plant with almost dry leaves can be rejuvenated as long as it is given water and sunlight. This quality has always inspired Han Ying's entrepreneurial path.

As a college student entrepreneur.
I think you must first love it in order to be able to invest time and energy.
The second is to be down-to-earth, step by step, so that you can accomplish what you want to do.
