Rooted in the flower and seedling planting industry, he used his diligent hands to build the "green water and green mountains" of the group field, and 15 years of perseverance achieved his "flower"-like life.

  I returned to the group field after graduating in 2007, and started planting flower seedlings. Because I majored in horticulture, I especially like planting flower seedlings.

  [Explanation] In 2010, 20 greenhouses were built in the local area. Chai Yonghui, a horticultural graduate, contracted 3 with the mentality of trying. He signed an order with the group farm to plant grape seedlings, tomato seedlings and flowers. He received gratifying income that year. Let him see the broad prospects of green plants and flowers.

  [Explanation] So, starting in 2012, Chai Yonghui loaned 11 greenhouses to plant flowers and established a company.

  [Commentary] Chai Yonghui takes care of his flowers and seedlings like he takes care of children.

Although it was hard work, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After several years of hard work, under his honest management, the supply of flower seedlings planted in 11 greenhouses is in short supply.

  [Explanation] Chai Yonghui has a keen eye. After investigation and analysis, he found that the flower market is becoming increasingly saturated, while the demand for seedlings is extremely strong.

Since 2018, Chai Yonghui has expanded his seedling planting base for two consecutive years to meet the market demand, and the seedling business has grown bigger and bigger.

  At present, I have developed 120 acres of flower seedlings, and planted 30 to 40 varieties such as golden leaf elm, red leaf plum, water wax tree, etc., which are sold all over Xinjiang. About 4 to 5 million seedlings are produced every year. , the annual sales revenue is about 5 million (RMB).

  Over the past ten years, I have been planting flowers and seedlings, and the economic benefits have become better and better, and it can also drive the surrounding employees (increase income). Now I can drive the surrounding employees to work here every year, and can provide more than 60 jobs.

  I work here for 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month, and it's close to home. I can also learn a lot about nursery (planting) here.

  [Explanation] Don't forget the people who dig wells when drinking water. Chai Yonghui has always been thinking about the surrounding people.

Since starting his own business, he has provided free flower seedlings to all units in the group field every year, and has donated more than 30,000 flower seedlings of various types.

  In my spare time, I often learn agricultural technology knowledge, help the surrounding growers to provide technical guidance, and do my best to help everyone increase production and income.

  This year, I planted 30 acres of white melon. I didn’t understand the technical guidance in the early stage, and I didn’t know what to do. Then I called a Xiaochai technician to come and give me guidance. In the early stage, there were also many problems in the management of water and fertilizer, and I usually planted corn and hops. , I can call him on call whenever I don't understand, the people are very nice, and we really appreciate it very much.

  [Explanation] Today, the company has become a large-scale seedling and flower planting base in the local area, but Chai Yonghui's striving has not stopped. He said that his dream of turning "lucid waters and lush mountains" into "golden mountains and silver mountains" has not yet come true.

  [Explanation] In the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a group of "college student workers" like Chai Yonghui with knowledge, technology and good management have emerged.

They returned to the fields and became fashionable entrepreneurs. With professional skills and broad horizons, they have embarked on a road of agricultural development with "new production models, strong market concepts, and strong innovation vitality".

Their appearance gave the company a new look and added new impetus to rural revitalization.

  [Explanation] In recent years, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has actively built a platform for returning young people to start their own business, giving them more development space, providing them with entrepreneurial assistance and employment guidance, and allowing a large number of returnees who want to be able to work to return to their hometowns Young people realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
