In 2007, by chance, he found that the water quality and climate of Daqin Mountain were suitable for opening a winery, so he spent more than 40 million yuan to build a wine. More than ten kilometers of Panshan Highway, subsequently invested 1 billion yuan to introduce whisky distillation production line, oak barrel factory and other supporting facilities, to build a comprehensive tourism development project in the mode of "wine industry + sightseeing tour".
