Wang Lina's friends

 

WHILE Wang Lina's friends were wandering around shopping malls on the weekend, she was walking through strawberry fields; when others were sleeping in cozy beds, she was delivering strawberries to supermarkets.Wang, 25, was chosen for the "100 best village heads in China" list last month, the only graduate to get the award.She graduated from Beijing Union University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2005. But she decided to become an assistant to the village committee chairperson in Ertiaojie, Pinggu District of Beijing, rather than take a job with the Bank of China."I grew up in a rural part of Beijing and have a special love for country people," Wang explained, "so I decided to go there to do something useful for them."No one really told me what to doBut upon arrival in the village, she found herself dealing with trivial matters all day: "As an assistant, I didn’t have any particular job. My work was to help the chairman deal with village problems, things like resolving quarrels between couples. No one told me I was here to do great things, but I thought that, since I’m here, I might as well do something useful."She also found that the villagers just played cards since they could only rest during the cold winter, or just planted cabbage or white radishes, which brought in little money."I remembered that the price of strawberries in Beijing was very high in winter," Wang said, "so I asked myself, 'why not raise strawberries to earn money?’"You’re seldom given much responsibility when you get to a new job like this. But if you have an idea that could benefit the place, why not try it?" Wang continued.It was a tough row to hoeWang then hurriedly wrote a proposal and got 500,000 yuan in funding from the government. But it wasn’t going to be plain sailing. For one thing ?C no one knew a thing about raising strawberries.Next, she turned to the marketplace, where she asked the sellers about their supplies. They told her that the best ones were in Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces. So, she headed off to those provinces to learn about strawberries for two months."I showed the villagers several video tapes about strawberry planting that I recorded in Shandong," Wang explained. "After watching the videos, they could see that it wasn’t that hard."After two months, they had 120 mu of land ready for planting. However, Wang didn’t stop here. She made weekly visits to the Agricultural Sciences Academy to talk with experts about the details of planting. It was a 200-kilometer trip, but she insisted on taking the bus to save money."You meet difficulties when you start out. But it doesn’t matter if you can learn from experts," said Wang. "Contact the people who can provide useful information. Learning improves your ability."From local markets to Wal-Marts To make it easier wow power leveling for the villagers, Wang Lina prepared a summary of planting methods and made a planting calendar for each farmer.After four busy months, the strawberries began to mature. But then another problem presented itself. Where to sell the strawberries? wow power leveling "I tried contacting supermarkets but they didn’t trust us. I was really worried."Then she remembered her cheap archlord gold university contacts, the professors and school officers. Why not try the university?"Luckily, the university authorities agreed and helped me with a campaign to sell strawberries on campus. When I took 800 cartons of berries to the school, lots of students and reporters showed up," Wang went on, "the strawberries were all gone in an hour. Then, after word got out, many stores came to place orders. Pretty soon we were in the big stores like Wal-Mart and Carrefour."But that still wasn’t enough to satisfy Wang. She found six "brokers" to sell the next batch before the 2007 planting. "We needed archlord online gold to change our way of thinking and plant according to market demand."At the workplace, you shouldn’t look at problems in a traditional way. There might be better solutions. Dare to be creative," is Wang’ archlord power leveling s advice.Last year, the village sold 20 tons of strawberries to more than 10 big cities and even received orders from South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore, bringing a total of 1.5 million yuan in profits for the village.
