Xiao Ming: using resource advantage to develop planting industry in Guizhou

Participants: Xiao Ming academic background: 1996-1998, he studied in the Institute of theoretical physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, majoring in superconducting physics; 2000-2004, he went to the University of Houston in the United States, worked as a visiting professor in the Texas superconducting center, engaged in research work Current status: Xiao Ming, general manager of Guizhou Taibo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., has typical scholar temperament His decision to return to China comes from his deep feelings for his hometown and serves the motherland Xiao Ming, who used to be a teacher, completed his postdoctoral studies in the 1990s He has studied and worked in top research institutions both at home and in the United States After more than 20 years of rigorous and systematic natural science training and high popularity in his research field, what makes a scholar engaged in advanced and cutting-edge physical theory research abandon the favorable material conditions of the United States and go back to the backward Guizhou and start a business from scratch? "It's because of the feeling for home," he said I've always wanted to go home and do something, but what I've learned is hard to play and I've been waiting for the right time " Xiao Ming's technological project is not based on his main research field, but the unrelated plant chemical industry (plant chemical industry), namely the production of natural plant extracts, which belongs to the field of biotechnology During his research and work in the United States, he found that almost all the antioxidants used in the food processing industry in the United States are natural plant extracts The use of natural antioxidants has become a trend, and there is a large gap in China at present "Therefore, he thought that Guizhou, as a large plant Province, has unique natural resources For example, as one of the ginger industry belts in China, it is rich in ginger resources, and the content of gingerol and other substances is higher than that in many regions of the country The substances extracted from ginger are widely used as additives in medical treatment, food and cosmetics abroad At the same time, he also saw the successful introduction of rosemary in Guizhou, and rosemary is the best plant to extract natural antioxidants These information enabled him to find the direction of entrepreneurship, and develop the planting industry of Guizhou by using the rich natural resources of Guizhou, the technology he learned in the United States, and the resources and experience in developing the international market "At present, Guangzhou and Xi'an are major provinces of planting and chemical industry, with an annual export volume of more than 500 million US dollars, which has not been affected even during the financial crisis," he said Although the consumption of green products in China is still in its infancy, it is an irresistible trend Guizhou's abundant plant resources are very conducive to the development of the planting industry, so the market prospect is very considerable, which is a very promising sunrise industry " So, after returning to Guiyang in February last year, Xiao Ming established Guizhou Taibo Biotechnology Co., Ltd Although the company is still in its infancy, he is full of confidence and hopes to turn the planting and chemical industry in Guizhou into an industry with global influence.
