A high school graduate from 1985 earns 10 million dollars a year growing bananas

Jiang Donghai, a native of Chongqing, came to Xishuangbanna alone nine years ago to grow bananas. Now he is a famous banana farmer with an annual income of 10 million yuan.

The boy 10 years after the annual income of ten million news after the report, caused the attention of netizens. People are curious about his entrepreneurial experience.

It is reported that when Jiang Donghai first came to Xishuangbanna, he was very bitter. With all the bugs, wildlife, UV rays, and temperature differences, he almost didn't make it when he first arrived. Later grit to stick to it, also think it's no big deal. So the world is so big, don't walk and see more, how do you know what career is best for you?

He graduated from high school, with the idea that "the world is so big, I want to go to see it", he went to other places alone with 500 yuan, and eventually became the boss of one of the largest banana planting enterprises in Xishuangbanna with an annual income of tens of millions. He is Jiang Donghai, general manager of Yunnan Xishuangbanna Dongting Agricultural Development Co., LTD.

On an autumn afternoon in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, the temperature is still 28 degrees Celsius. Facing the hot sun, we started from the center of Jinghong City, the capital of Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture, to Puzhehei. We drove 30 kilometers on the highway, got off the road from Guanping, and then passed more than 20 kilometers of rural roads. Then we arrived at the destination -- a banana garden covering an area of 3,000 mu.

As soon as we entered the banana garden, a young man in a sky-blue short-sleeved shirt, light gray trousers, and brown casual shoes came up to us. If it is not the side of the staff introduced, the reporter can hardly imagine that this 85 boy, is the owner of this banana garden, Yunnan Xishuangbanna Dongting Agricultural Development Co., LTD. General manager Jiang Donghai.

"No one gets carsick on the road?" Before the reporter opened his mouth, Jiang Donghai asked everyone. Kang was relieved to get a negative answer from the reporter. With a smile, he explained that there were so many twists and turns along the way that some of his friends had been "thrown up" on the way.

Jiang Donghai, 29, was born in rural Hechuan. After finishing high school in 2006, with the mentality of "the world is so big, I want to see it", and under the introduction of a friend, he went south to Foshan, Guangdong Province alone, with only 500 yuan, and started his dream journey.

Jiang Donghai landed his first job as a product quality manager at a small electrical appliance factory in Foshan, earning less than 1,000 yuan a month. With hard work, he became the head of the department more than a year later, and his salary rose to more than 3,000 yuan.

Working overtime is common in Jiang Donghai, especially during the peak season, "eight to eleven" the rest time will appear from time to time. Although it is the middle stem of the electric appliance factory, the limited development prospect of the enterprise, is so that Jiang Donghai can not carry on the interest of "climbing". Having been away for two years, the homesickness has grown stronger. Mr. Jiang returned to Chongqing at the end of 2007.

"Bananas are good to grow here, and the fields are wide, so I came here." Mr. Jiang said his relatives were growing bananas in Xishuangbanna at the time, and he came here in early 2008 to start his second business.

When he first arrived in Xishuangbanna, Jiang Donghai was working as a "handmaid" in his family's 200-mu banana garden, weeding and fertilizing everything. He also had a sunburn and sprained feet. A year later, looking at the desert hillside turned into a banana forest and calculating that every 1 yuan of investment turned into 2.5 yuan of output, Jiang felt that all the previous efforts were worth it.

At the beginning of 2010, major banana-producing areas such as Guangxi and Hainan had a bumper harvest, which made Yunnan bananas, which had no shortage of sales in previous years, encounter the dilemma of "no demand". "At that time, my head was very big. Then I remembered that I had a friend at home who sold bananas wholesale in the Panxi market in Chongqing, so I called him."

His friend's suggestion, "You can sell bananas in Panxi by yourself," moved Kang Donghai. He immediately rented a truck and personally delivered more than 20 tons of bananas to the Panxi Fruit Wholesale Market in Chongqing, where they were sold out in less than a day. In addition, Jiang Donghai and many merchants also established a relationship, the product opened the market.

Now, Jiang Donghai's enterprise is one of the best in Xishuangbanna, with a planting area of more than 3,000 mu and an annual income of more than 30 million yuan.

In April, Mr. Jiang built a restaurant in the heart of his hometown, Hechuan, that can accommodate 180 tables at a time. The restaurant has nearly 100 employees, more than 90% of whom are Hechuan locals. "I have been homesick for so many years, which is my contribution to Hechuan." "Mr. Jiang said.
