Zou Jianmin linked Wen Guanshu to employment in Linxi County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
On April 4, as director of the Industry Office of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Linxi County, he explained that the 7,1-mu Wenguan fruit production base currently under construction in the county is to find a new way for local villagers to revitalize and become rich.
Wenguan tree, known as the "giant panda of the plant world", is a precious woody oil tree species unique to China, which is drought and cold resistant, and has both ecological value, economic value and ornamental value.
From 2023, Linxi County plans to invest 5 million yuan within 5 years to build a standardized seedling breeding center for 1000 million autonomous region-level Wenguan trees, create a national R&D and production distribution base for Wenguan fruit seeds, oil, tea and other products, develop tourism, health and leisure industries, and create a new model for the integration of rural revitalization and three industries.

Zou Jianmin initially estimated that in five years, the local Wen Guan tree industry is expected to increase the income of 5,3000 employees.
"More importantly, the industry also increases forest cover and makes the air cleaner here!" Zou Jianmin optimistically told the media reporters who came to interview.
Since the beginning of this year, the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Linxi County, an agricultural banner county in the eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has successfully introduced a company from Shandong Province through investment attraction, which will build the Wen Guan tree industry as a new industry for local people to get rich and increase income.
In the recently established Dongshan Wen Guan Tree Industrial Park in Linxi County, the reporter saw that in the 7000,<> square meters of Wen Guan Tree multi-functional exhibition hall jointly built by the official and the enterprise, the Wen Guan Tree has blossomed one after another.
According to the staff, there are more than 120 kinds of Wen Guan tree strains planted in the exhibition hall, and there are pure white, pure red, white set red, red set gold and other flower colors as far as the eye can see.
According to reports, the flowering cycle of a single variety of Wen Guan tree in the exhibition hall generally ranges from 6 to 10 days, and the staff uses the habits of different varieties of Wen Guan tree to match a variety of strains to extend the flowering period of flower viewing, and create a flower appreciation exhibition hall where "the weather is often like February and March, and the flowers and branches are constantly spring".

The Wen Guan tree in the exhibition hall is only a "position" for Linxi County to display the Wen Guan tree, in fact, the planting task of 1,3 mu of Wen Guan tree built locally has been started one after another. The Linxi County Government said, "In three years, we will build a 5,<>-mu Wen Guan tree base in the county to lay the foundation for the next step of the extension of the woody grain and oil industry." ”
"After the completion of the project, the economic and social benefits were highlighted at the same time, and after five years, it reached the production of 5,2000 tons of Wenguan fruit seeds, 600 tons of Wen Guan fruit oil, and 600 tons of Wen Guan fruit green tea and Fu tea." Zou Jianmin believes that the local introduction of Wenguan trees will definitely bring real benefits to the rural revitalization of local villagers.
According to the latest official news of Linxi County, the most important task of the county at present is to make every effort to build a "Wen Guan Guo" base, organically combine industrial development with green waters and green mountains, sightseeing and tourism, and scientific research, so that Linxi's popularity and reputation continue to expand to the outside world.
