[I Love Yishizhuang] A Short Record of Three Unusual Meetings with General Manager Dong in Honghu

     My name is Deng Tianming, and I'm a member of the agrochemical team of Yishizhuang. Everyone calls me Tianming. Since I was a child, I've known about Honghu, probably influenced by the movie The Red Guards on Honghu Lake. When it comes to the story of my connection with Honghu, there's one person I have to mention, that is General Manager Dong of Hongxin Agricultural Resources in Honghu. He's an old agricultural resources professional who is almost obsessed with the no-tillage technology. Up to now, I've met General Manager Dong three times in different situations. These three different encounters have made me admire General Manager Dong of Honghu even more. At the same time, I've also gained a deeper understanding of the brand charm of Yishizhuang!

I vaguely remember that the first time I met General Manager Dong this year was on February 27th. That day, I accompanied Liu Qinghua, the sales manager of Yishizhuang, and Yang Weihua, who is in charge of the Jianghan Plain, and others to visit him by car. At about 7 p.m., we met as scheduled. After some polite greetings, General Manager Dong said to us straightforwardly, "You've come at the right time. I'm worrying about the Angui soil conditioner I'm dealing with. I want to find a special fertilizer to use in combination with it. I think the effect should be good. Give me some advice. How about Yishizhuang special fertilizer?" Before we could respond, General Manager Dong took out a technical booklet he wrote and showed it to us. From his eyes, I clearly saw that he was full of enthusiasm for the no-tillage technology! During the dinner in the evening, General Manager Dong kept asking technical questions about the combination of Angui and the special fertilizer. His dedication and seriousness towards new agricultural technologies are worth learning from us young people.

The second time I met General Manager Dong was on March 9th, and we met at the on-site observation meeting of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape held in Qianjiang. At the on-site observation of Yishizhuang rape, I saw General Manager Dong seriously go down to the demonstration field to observe the growth of rape. When he saw Manager Yang Weihua this time, he said excitedly, "The effect of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape is really good. Compared with the high-nutrient compound fertilizer, the advantages are quite obvious." Compared with the first meeting this year, I clearly felt that General Manager Dong had a real recognition of Yishizhuang special fertilizer! When we were communicating together, this no-tillage expert said to me, "For Yishizhuang special fertilizer, I think if Angui is added, the effect should be even better!" General Manager Dong's technical logic is: since Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape has a good effect, then adding Angui can not only achieve no-tillage but also be a one-time fertilization, and it should be even better. Through this meeting, my impression of General Manager Dong is that he observes very carefully in the field, he is still deeply in love with the no-tillage technology that he has put a lot of effort into, and his understanding of Yishizhuang special fertilizer has reached a new level!

     The third time I met General Manager Dong was just a few days ago! On September 15th, he took the initiative to organize an on-site observation meeting of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rice together with Manager Yang. General Manager Dong invited more than 100 large-scale grain farmers to participate in the on-site observation. This is not a carefully arranged demonstration site with strong professionalism. The farmers at this demonstration site should be the first in the whole Honghu to use Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rice. In the demonstration area, the rice leaves are green and the grains are yellow, the flag leaves are upright, there is no phenomenon of nutrient deficiency, and the panicles are long with a high seed setting rate. Boss Pan, a partner in the agricultural resources distribution in Chahe Town, said to the farmers participating in the observation, "Just now, we passed by and saw that the adjacent field was fertilized with general compound fertilizer. What's the difference between it and what we're seeing now, which is fertilized with Yishizhuang special fertilizer? Simply put, the general compound fertilizer makes the rice grow fast, but the fertilizer effect also fades quickly. It's easy to have nutrient deficiency in the later stage, so the seed setting rate is often not high. However, Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rice is different. The growth is stable in the early stage, the fertilizer effect is long in the later stage, there is no nutrient deficiency, the leaves are green and the grains are yellow, and the seed setting rate is quite high. These are the advantages of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rice."

     At the indoor exchange meeting, General Manager Dong said passionately, "Everyone knows that the Father of Hybrid Rice is Yuan Longping. Then who is the Father of Rape? He is Academician Fu Tingdong from Huazhong Agricultural University. In several national rape industry conferences this year, our Father of Rape, Academician Fu, fully affirmed the application effect of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape and recommended everyone to use it. What Academician Fu said is definitely right!" Although he also mentioned how to apply Angui, I clearly felt that through this observation activity, he had more confidence in Yishizhuang special fertilizer than in the previous two meetings. His confidence comes from seeing the effect of Yishizhuang rape fertilizer in Qianjiang and now seeing the effect of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rice! Of course, he also mentioned, "How can we make Yishizhuang special fertilizer perform better in our Honghu? Combining Angui soil conditioner with Yishizhuang special fertilizer is the future development trend." I deeply understand that this time General Manager Dong's recognition of Yishizhuang comes from the bottom of his heart. For an old agricultural resources professional who does things seriously, he will use his most proficient way to promote Yishizhuang special fertilizer to thousands of households in Honghu City.

     To be honest, this is a small story that happened around me. In fact, such stories happen around me every day! Really, the protagonists of these real stories are partners like General Manager Dong who wholeheartedly support us, spurring the agrochemical and sales teams of Yishizhuang to keep working hard and growing... I love Yishizhuang!
