How do poor counties do well?

It is understood that for many entrepreneurs who return to their hometowns, the biggest problem is the land issue. Entrepreneurs mostly start with small family workshops. If they want to expand their scale and build factories, renting land is the first step. Wang Nan from Yuhuangling Village, Fangfang Township, taught herself how to make photo frames. At the beginning of the business, due to the difficulty of renting land, it was impossible to build a new workshop for more than a year. In 2015, the county encouraged the construction of “poverty alleviation workshops”. Wang Nan was finally allowed to build a factory covering an area of ??15 acres, employing 70 people.

The local “poverty alleviation workshop” policy has given a large number of small businesses the opportunity to “grow up”. In the long run, how to optimize collective land rental policies will still be the biggest concern for returning entrepreneurs. Secondly, there is the funding problem, which focuses on the difficulty of getting a loan. Wang Nan spent more than 3 million yuan on building a new workshop and buying new equipment. He invested all his savings over the years, but there was still a big gap. So Wang Nan mortgaged the house and took out a loan of 800,000 yuan, which was barely enough. After the factory was put into operation, working capital was stretched thin. Fortunately, the township coordinated a poverty alleviation loan of 500,000 yuan, which solved the urgent need.

“When running a business, I often feel short of funds.” Jiang Yufen said frankly that sometimes the payment for goods was not returned in time, and she and her husband had to take out loans to pay wages. With the help of the government, they received a poverty alleviation loan of 1 million yuan, with interest subsidized by the government. Entrepreneurs generally face the problem of a single financing channel. Experts suggest that we should improve the financial investment guarantee system for rural revitalization strategy, improve the rural financial system suitable for the characteristics of agriculture and rural areas, and improve the ability and level of financial services for rural revitalization. When entrepreneurs reach a new level, the biggest shortcomings they face are management and technology. Talent.

When Wu Yulei first returned to his hometown, he asked a fellow villager to be responsible for the production of dance shoes. The fellow knew how to sew, but not how to make shoes, so he led the workers to produce a batch of defective products, all of which were stored in the warehouse. Wu Yulei lost more than 1 million yuan a year and almost went bankrupt. Helpless, his wife Ding Xiaoyan had no choice but to return to her hometown with her newly born child and personally fight to turn the market around. "When I work in a village, I especially want to recruit college students to manage the job. But after several discussions, I either find the salary too low or don't want to go to the countryside," Ding Xiaoyan said.

Management talents are hard to find, and technical talents are hard to recruit. Zhao Yang, a young man from Malou Township, relied on the advantages of the auto parts industry in Taiqian County to start e-commerce. In 2017, his online sales revenue exceeded 8 million yuan. Now, his biggest headache is also talent. "There is a special shortage of customer service and website artists." Zhao Yang said that he tried to recruit online, but there were only a few applicants. "Training has never stopped, but rural e-commerce is developing rapidly and there is still not enough." Fu Chunling, director of the Taiqian County E-commerce Office, said that the county trained 12,000 e-commerce practitioners in two years, but it is still not enough.

Even skilled workers are difficult to retain. Liu Longbo and Chai Lifang, a couple in Houchai Village, Dayuchen Town, are engaged in processing down products. Their most urgent need is to improve the quality of workers. "For the same type of work, some workers can earn 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month, while some workers with poor skills can only earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan." Chai Lifang said that rural workers are very mobile, and those who have worked continuously for more than one year are still in the factory. It's "treasure".
