(Views from Su and Taiwan) Originated from "sauerkraut and white meat pot" Cross-strait youth "partners" take root in Jiangsu "green industry"

　　China News Service reporter Zhu Xiaoying

　　Because of the creativity and sympathy caused by eating a bowl of "sauerkraut and white meat pot", several young people on both sides of the strait hit it off and decided to devote themselves to environmental protection in Huai'an, a Taiwan-funded highland in northern Jiangsu, Jiangsu.

They took one word (phonetic) from their names to name the company.

A few days ago, a reporter from Chinanews.com discovered during a visit that this Jiangsu Hongwei Testing Technology Co., Ltd., founded by a young "partner" from both sides of the strait, is operating rapidly.

　　Entering this Jiangsu Hongwei Testing Technology Co., Ltd., which is located in Huaian Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiangsu Province, is engaged in environmental testing, and large and small testing equipment comes into view.

　　"Post-80s" Taiwanese youth Hong Keen is one of the company's partners and serves as the general manager.

When the reporter saw him, he was wearing a white lab coat and shuttled back and forth between the laboratories.

　　"Currently, the environmental testing objects we carry out include water and wastewater, soil and solid waste, air and waste gas, noise and other major items. There are more than 600 small test items. It is a third-party company with a comprehensive environmental testing project in Huai'an." En introduced.

　　In recent years, with the implementation of the battle against pollution, the mainland's environmental protection industry has released demand, and the industrial scale has maintained rapid growth.

　　According to estimates by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the operating income of the mainland's environmental protection industry in 2019 is about 1.78 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), which is much higher than the national economic growth rate during the same period.

　　Taking advantage of this "dongfeng", Hong Keen and his "little partners" companies have developed rapidly: since its establishment in 2018, the number of employees has increased from 8 to 30, and the turnover has maintained double-digit growth every year. In 2020, the turnover will reach 4 million yuan.

　　Recalling the history of entrepreneurship, Hong Ji-eun laughed and said that it was a bowl of "sauerkraut and white meat pot."

　　It turned out that after graduating from a doctoral degree in Taiwan, Hong Keen was invited by an acquaintance to come to Huai'an, Jiangsu in 2015, and joined a local environmental testing company to engage in third-party testing.

　　In 2018, the boss of this company wanted to temporarily "change the runway."

After thinking about it, Hong Ki-eun, who wanted to continue working in his "old business" locally, chose to leave.

　　Later, he had an appointment with two mainland friends, and ordered sauerkraut white meat pot.

The three of them ate and chatted and talked very happily. They were optimistic about the development prospects of the mainland's environmental protection industry, so they decided to start their own business.

　　"That meal of'sauerkraut white meat pot' was not eaten for nothing. The next day, we went to register the company. I took the homonym of'Hong' from the name, and Xi'an'Little Partner' took the word'Wei' from the name, and there was another It is the investor, we jointly named the company'Hongwei'." He said with a smile.

　　Hong Keen has a deep understanding of the rapid development of the mainland's environmental protection industry.

　　When he arrived in Huai'an, Jiangsu in 2015, his "old company" was the third company engaged in environmental testing in Huai'an.

When he and his "little partner" started their business in 2018, the new company he created was already the thirteenth company engaged in environmental testing in Huai'an, and the market competition was fierce.

　　In order to open up the market, Hong Ki-eun and his partners purchased advanced equipment and attracted many "Kochi" to come to the company for development.

The more detailed environmental testing services quickly won orders from companies, and the company embarked on the "fast lane" of development.

　　"At the beginning of 2020, due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, our performance has declined. With the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control, our customers will soon resume work and production, and environmental testing requirements have steadily rebounded." Hong Keen is confident in the future: "In 2021, our turnover is expected to reach 10 million yuan."

　　In his view, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the mainland's environmental protection industry has prospered under the overweight policies.

After the start of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the environmental protection industry will continue its high boom.

As we strive to achieve the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, now all parts of the mainland will focus on achieving carbon peaks and carbon neutrality.

　　"It is conceivable that big data statistics, real-time environmental monitoring, etc., will help the environmental protection industry upgrade and upgrade, and there will be a huge market. Therefore, we will focus this year on real-time data monitoring." Hong Jien said.

　　Recalling these years in Huai'an, Hong Keen summed it up with "warm-hearted and humane".

　　As a talented person in northern Jiangsu, Hong Jien won many honors and titles such as "Huai'an City Top Ten Outstanding Youth", "Huai'an City Environmental Emergency Expert Database Expert" and many other titles.

The local area provided him with talent apartments.

He also applied for a house purchase subsidy, bought a house and settled in Huai'an.

　　In the local area, he joined the Huai'an Taiwan Affairs Office Service Group, Taiwan Association Group, Talent Group, Bicycle Group, Egg (Card Game) Group and other WeChat groups, and made many friends.

"I have a sense of belonging here, and I don't want to leave if I feel settled," he said.
