Hu Wanlong and Huang Yang chuan

Hu is well known in Yellow Sheep River. Everything he does is not only related to the reputation of Town and Talent, but also out of consideration of the villagers. His changes also affect others.

Trainings for villagers:

Talking about the trainings, Hu smiled happily and proudly and felt gratified thinking of the trainings at that time. At first he was worried no one wanted to attend, but the first class had a lot of students. He clearly remembered that how prudent the villagers were when they first booted and shut down the computers. They seemed afraid of breaking a household appliance imprudently. And when he told the villagers computers had the function of sleep, they all whispered ‘I don’t know computer also needs sleep.’
The usual textbooks were certainly not suitable for the villagers, so Hu made special curriculums mainly focus on practice, typing and surfing the internet. In other words, he told the villagers what were the main functions to them and how to best use of them. After training, 80% of the trainees could send email. They not only got attracted by the computer, but some of them prepared to buy one. Liu Jinhua, working in the storeroom of a local hospital, at first didn’t know how to type, later could teach how to us the medical instruments with computer. There was another smart business man Wang Wanneng who learned e-business. He looked for opportunities on the internet and opened a drugstore and dealt in motorbikes. They are the first successors shaking off poverty.

Jack-of-all-trades:

The first time Hu knew e-business was when he chatted with Peng. But he really did e-business was out of a brainstorm when he was in a difficult situation. In 2002, he tried to raise scorpions, but due to the cold weather, more than 100 scorpions were all dead. Then he planted mushroom. Because that year had a good rainfall, Hu had good harvest of mushroom and other vegetables. But Hu got another problem. His family didn’t have enough manpower and he had so much work. How long would it take to sell out the vegetables? And after they were sold out, he would miss the best time for seeding. At the moment, he thought of e-business and searched websites of dealing agricultural products. After knowing how others dealt, he prudently publicized his product information on the websites. After a few days he was surprised that he received several calls intending to purchase. After negotiating he made the deal. It took him only 3 days to sell out all the vegetables. Ordinarily it would need 3 months from harvest to selling out. But with the help of e-business, Hu only spent less than one month and the income increased 1,000 yuan, most important was he began seeding 2 months in advance. As the villagers in the market knew about this, they all went to Hu’s home. He explained carefully and patiently, helping them publicize information on the websites.

That season, in Yellow Sheep River villagers’ trading amount was 260,000 yuan far more than past years. With help of internet, Hu was proceeding toward well-off life. His nickname jack-of-all-trades spread all over the village.
