More than a month after the dyke burst, Shidaxu, Lujiang County, Hefei City, Anhui Province, has the conditions for pumping and drainage. 240 pumps (sets) are fully started, and the accumulated water is expected to be drained in about 20 days. After learning of this news, Lu Liyou from Taoyuan, Taiwan was very excited. The production base of Anhui Lujiang Green Generation Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. was flooded before, and the water level is still more than 4 meters deep.
Lv Liyou is a PhD in diseases and insect pests. Five years ago, he and two other young Taiwanese doctors from his team came to Lujiangtai Innovation Park to promote agricultural technology and develop modern organic agriculture. In the floods since the beginning of July this year, his agricultural production base was severely affected. 160 acres of arable land and 10,000 square meters of greenhouses were completely submerged by water, and the reported losses amounted to 29 million yuan.
"We hope that after the stagnant water is drained in September, we can enter the site as soon as possible, re-plan and start the agricultural facilities, and recover as much as possible." Lu Liyou said that because they are doing organic agriculture, the first step is to improve the environment. Disinfection, testing the soil and restoring the soil quality at the same time, it is expected that by March 2021, the cultivation of organic fruits and vegetables can be resumed and supplied to the citizens of Hefei.

Ren Liangfeng used to do baking in Xiamen, Fujian and other places, because he was optimistic about the market and environment in Hefei, so he came to A bakery brand was founded here.

Zhang Yinwei told reporters that taking the catering industry as an example, young people in Taiwan are often inexperienced in store selection and marketing when starting a business. The high cost or insufficient passenger flow makes many entrepreneurial ventures unsustainable.
