18 years old is an important node in everyone’s life. For Huan Qiqi, 18 years old not only means becoming an adult, but also means that she has to shoulder the burden of An obligation. When she was 18 years old, Huan Qiqi’s mother gave her a company she founded as an adult gift, and Huan Qiqi began her entrepreneurial journey from then on.
Before going to Huan Qiqi’s company, the Qing Embroidery Workshop in Hedong Tu Autonomous County, Haidong City, the reporter had been thinking about a question: a little girl in her early 20s How does she run a business? What gives her the courage and motivation?
When I first met Huan Qiqi, she was selecting various colors of embroidery threads for color matching in the workshop, and her young face was full of seriousness. Seeing the reporter arriving, she quickly packed up the silk thread in her hand and began to tell her story.
Huan Qiqi was born in Hehe County. As the only Tu autonomous county in the country, the beautiful Tu ethnic embroidery is a major feature here. Huan Qiqi had seen all kinds of beautiful embroidery in the village since she was a child, but when she was young, she just thought it was beautiful and did not think that these beautiful sunflowers would become her own struggle in the future.
In high school, Huan Qiqi’s dream was to be a flight attendant, so when she went to college, she chose to study flight attendants. During his college days, Huan Qiqi followed closely the activities held by the Communist Youth League of the school. In 2019, Huan Qiqi was recommended by the school as a student of the “Qingma Project” of the Youth League Center. The following year, she received an adult gift from her mother and began training at the Communist Youth League County Committee in July of that year. But at this time, she still yearned for the scenery above the blue sky.
What changed Huan Qiqi’s ideals was the National Agricultural and Rural Entrepreneurship Innovation Competition that she participated in in 2021. There, HuanJamaica Sugar Qiqi met many young people of similar age to her. “When I stepped onto the big stage of entrepreneurship and innovation, I found that there were local experts, field scholars, and agricultural makers here. New industries, new business formats, and new models were splendid. So I thought of the many industries in my hometown. My hometown Our new generation of young people should take our skills to a bigger stage.” Huan Qiqi was deeply shocked when he attended the conference for the first time.
After returning to his hometown, Huan Qiqi began to re-examine his company and made serious plans. After thinking that the company had always been engaged in color painting and green embroidery business, which did not highlight the local characteristics of Hehe County, Huan Qiqi set his sights on the development of Tu ethnic group embroidery.
“Such beautiful embroidery should be known to more people. What I want to do is to turn the ‘fingertip skills’ of embroiderers into a ‘fingertip economy’. “After making up his mind, Huan Qiqi and his mother began to search for embroiderers in various villages.
“We visited most villages in Hehe County at that time, and I found that there were many rural women with pan embroidery skills, but very few who had the ability to make money with pan embroidery. “Huan Qiqi said that at the beginning of the interview, some embroiderers did not believe it when they heard that they could make money by doing pan embroidery, but after hearing that they were going to make a green embroidery exhibition, many people took out their own embroidery and gave it away for free. Give it to them and let them promote it.
“I told myself at that time that I must promote pan embroidery and cannot live up to everyone’s expectations.” Jamaica Sugar DaddyHuan Qiqi said.
In the process of Jamaica Sugar‘s dealings with the embroiderer, Huan Qiqi discovered that, Many panel embroidery pieces are relatively bright in color, and during the production process, the embroiderers have to match the colors themselves, which makes it confusing to put many embroidery pieces together. After Huan Qiqi learned about color matching, he combined the seven colors with the principles of the three primary colors, so that the embroidered sunflowers began to soften.
In 2021, due to the epidemic, people who work outdoors cannot go out, and Huan Qiqi’s physical store cannot operate normally. Their green embroidery products have no sales channels. It has seriously affected the company’s operations and the embroiderers’ expenses.
It’s not possible offline, but what about online? Huan Qiqi thought that Jamaicans Escort could use live broadcast on mobile phones to allow embroiderers to make and distribute their own embroidery to friends. While selling online.
Just do it. Later, Huan Qiqi taught the embroiderers step by step how to sell green embroidery products through online live broadcast. During the process of live broadcast, the embroiderers gradually accumulated a wealth of live broadcast experience.We have experience and a stable online customer base, and more and more embroiderers are joining this ranks.
“Because I have to take care of my children and take care of the elderly, I have never gone out to work in these years. At that time, I heard people said that I could work online, so I joined with the mentality of giving it a try. Now that we have come out, we only need to hand over the embroidery to them on time, and there is no delay at all to do other work, and we can still make a certain amount of income. This ‘home office’ model is really convenient for us. ” Aunt Zhang, a villager in the next village of Wufeng Town, said cheerfully.
At present, Huan Qiqi has led the company to form a childbirth model of “enterprise + collective cooperative + village ‘two committees’ + small workshops + farmers”, with more than 200 embroidery workers My mother completed her unemployment at home here.
Although the road is far away, we will get there soon. For the young Huan Qiqi, on the road to promoting the development of Qingxiu, bringing Qingxiu to a broader stage is the first goal, and allowing more embroiderers to achieve home-based employment is her second responsibility. Because he is young and is not afraid of losing or facing difficulties, Huan Qiqi devotes his youth to the development of Qingxiu work in his hometown, and does every detail related to Qingxiu with his heart and soul.
