Yan Linying once returned to his hometown after graduation and sold 50 tons of Binchuan purple garlic in one day. Zheng Fuli/Photo "The darkest girl in the village" Determined to sell Binchuan specialties to the whole country Yan Linying is 25 years old this year. After graduating from Southwest Forestry University last year, she resolutely returned to her hometown of Binchuan. She laughed and called herself "the darkest girl in the village", Determined to sell Binchuan's "local goods" through e-commerce platforms. During the epidemic in 2020, local garlic was once unsalable. Yan Linying, who stayed at home to take online classes, began to sell garlic on Pinduoduo with the mentality of giving it a try. At first, there were at most three or five orders per day. After figuring out the tricks of e-commerce operation, the orders of the store continued to soar, which opened up sales for the garlic of many local farmers. As early as 2008, when the garlic business was just picking up, Yan Linying's father, Yan Bijun, established an agricultural cooperative with five local villagers, and distributed dividends every year according to the members' contribution rate. Last year, the cooperative paid more than 1.26 million yuan in dividends. In 2002, the cooperative was also selected into the organization list of "National Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Society". "I chose business administration in college. I planned to go to a big city after graduation, but I never thought of coming back to sell garlic." Yan Linying said that after the unsalable garlic was sold, the villagers of the cooperative finally revealed that they had not seen it for a long time. Her smile really touched her and made her make up her mind to return to her hometown after graduation. Through the study and struggle in the e-commerce industry, Yan Linying once became the TOP1 merchant of garlic category on Pinduoduo platform. Now, she has a new idea: Since she has some experience, she can simply move other categories of Binchuan to the Internet and sell them. This year, her store has added a new category: Binchuan Soft Seed Pomegranate. "Soft-seed pomegranates can be said to be a blessing for pomegranate lovers. You don't need to spit out the seeds, and they burst when you bite." Yan Linying also likes to eat Binchuan pomegranates. Binchuan Soft Seed Pomegranate has a sweet taste, and the aroma and sweetness of the fruit are just right in the mouth, not too sweet to be greasy. Yan Linying said that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, soft-seeded pomegranates are a hit on the Pinduoduo platform. "Now is the Pinduoduo Farmers' Festival, if we can try to succeed and stick to it, it will be very helpful to increase the income of the members and train our own team." "But fruit is still more squeamish than garlic. "In the first attempt, Yan Linying found the problem. Fruit is more likely to be bumped, and has higher requirements in terms of packaging, transportation and timeliness. Fortunately, with the previous accumulated experience, Yan Linying and the team gradually explored a more suitable sales method for pomegranates. Now, Yan Linying's e-commerce team has grown to a small scale, including 10 anchors. In front of a pomegranate tree next to the warehouse, the live broadcast started. The anchors introduced pomegranates skillfully, and even "squeezed pomegranate juice with their bare hands" in the live broadcast room, showing consumers the characteristics of Dali soft-seeded pomegranates intuitively. "In Binchuan, there are quite a lot of our 'second-generation farmers'." Yan Linying said that many "second-generation farmers" have returned to their hometowns to take over the family's farming after graduation. "Our e-commerce operation team is also larger than before. Many small partners come from the surrounding villages, most of them are twenty-five or six years old. We cultivate from scratch, and we work hard and grow together." "I am very lucky to stand in On the shoulders of my father, starting a business is better." Yan Linying introduced that many young people in the local area have operational skills, but lack the foundation of supply chain. If they can integrate their capabilities and join the army of e-commerce entrepreneurship, it will definitely promote Binchuan's various industries.
