Zhang Baotang has no regrets on the road of plant extraction

Business club, April 23 he led the company to attend the supply side West, the most professional and largest plant extract industry exhibition in the world, vitafood in Switzerland and CPHI in Shanghai, all of which won good reputation and a large number of sales orders In the face of the praise from foreigners, Zhang Baotang is humble and honest with the Chinese people From the beginning of "Jinnong" in the late 1990s, "green technology" and "environmental protection and energy saving" concept began to attract people's attention and recognition under the call of the government and the promotion of the media, which provided a number of high-tech enterprises with a favorable opportunity to develop production and occupy the market Zhang Baotang, who graduated from the computer department of Hunan Agricultural University, was introduced by Professor Shen Yue, Dean of the school of computer science, and successfully entered the network sales and promotion of plant extracts in the famous Jinnong biological company in Hunan at that time As one of the largest and most professional plant extract manufacturers and suppliers in China, jinnongbio's leading products are green tea extract, Siraitia grosvenorii extract, chrysanthemum powder, herbal tea concentrated juice, etc., which are in the leading position in the world Working in Jinnong company for four years has provided valuable practical experience for Zhang Baotang and cultivated his excellent e-commerce sales ability However, Zhang Baotang thinks that these are not the most important He said, "Jinnong, as the pioneer leading enterprise in Hunan and even in China, led me to enter the plant extract industry, a special industry Under the three-year cultivation of Professor Liu Zhonghua and other leaders, I devoted myself to the high-tech biological industry of plant extract Industry is full of interest and get their first-class guidance and exercise I am very grateful for the care of the company's predecessors, and there I met a group of like-minded partners " He mentioned that "like-minded partners" were Liu Xirong, Huang huaxue, Li Minghua, Chen Shi, etc who worked hard together later In 2004, Zhang Baotang decided to resign and go to a scientific research institute for further study He got the master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine chemistry from Hunan University of traditional Chinese medicine with his strong strength He studied hard under the guidance of the famous Professor Du Fanglu, the originator of traditional Chinese medicine chemistry in Hunan Province Such a choice, on the one hand, is to surmount the bottleneck and regret that he was born in a non scientific class in the plant extract industry, on the other hand, it is also to lay a solid professional foundation for his comprehensive entrepreneurship During this period, he and Liu Xirong, Huang huaxue, Li Minghua, Chen Shi, etc formed a shareholders' meeting to jointly contribute to the establishment of adley biotechnology company As the saying goes: two people agree with each other, and their strength breaks gold What's more, five young people are alive and well They are very busy with the belief that they will win only if they love to fight With the gradual exploration and understanding of the market and the growth of the company's performance, five people have some differences in their respective business philosophy and development direction, and the company will naturally be divided into AI Yin, Kang long and Lu Kang In 2008, AI Yin will be divided into two biological companies, lvman and Huacheng Zhang Baotang gave a vivid example of this process similar to the biological cell "fission" At that time, like brothers, we worked together to promote the plant extract market, a big tree, to take root and sprout in Hunan Province Unexpectedly, the development prospect of the industry was so broad that the five of us had to share what it left behind in their own fields Shady and cool Now we are all moving towards the direction of "benign competition, mutual exchange and win-win cooperation" Although each operator's own company, we often meet and are good friends " Indeed, the brothers who started their own businesses now have their own "base camp" Zhang Baotang feels gratified and proud "When five of us were still in a company, a plant product factory in Guzhang, Western Hunan Province paid for us, and the price was quite moving, but in order to realize our own business, we declined the kindness of the boss," he said Now it seems that the value of our five companies has doubled I'm glad to have adhered to my ideals and ideas " At the beginning, five young people with passion have become the backbone of the development of Hunan plant extract industry, writing a good story of entrepreneurship In March 2008, Changsha lvman biotechnology company was officially established and Zhang Baotang became the leader of the new company After the accumulation of early entrepreneurial experience and keen observation of the market, he designed the company's positioning and long-term goal: the company aims at the standardization and integrity of the industrial chain of plant extracts, carries out systematic and standardized operation from research and development, production to sales, and aims to export to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, North Africa and other countries, with 70% - 80% of exports to serve international food, medicine and health products Raw material market Hunan is one of the three birthplaces of plant extract industry in China, and also an important industrial center, technological innovation center and talent training center of plant extract industry in China Zhang Baotang introduced to reporters that "plant extract is a new industry, which has the characteristics of pure nature, green, environmental protection, safety, nutrition and health care The biotechnology industry based on plant extracts is a new sunrise industry developed at the end of the 20th century, which has broad prospects for development " His eyes are full of confidence In 2010, the domestic consumption of plant extracts in China alone has reached about 3.8 billion US dollars, and the export volume is 1 billion US dollars The products are popular in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and other developing countries such as India and Thailand Taking the United States as an example, 70% of its botanical medicine raw materials are imported from abroad The products are raw medicinal materials or extracts, and the extracts are mainly single drug In 2010, the domestic sales volume of botanical drugs in the United States reached 15 billion US dollars As the most influential regional political and economic organization in the world, the European Union is also one of the world's largest botanical drug markets Such a vast international market and the potential production capacity of China as a country with rich plant resources in the world make Zhang Baotang believe and adhere to his own development blueprint He led us to visit a row of samples of plant extracts in the cabinet like compartment on the wall of the office, and said: "the plant extract tea polyphenols in tea have the functions of antioxidation, scavenging free radicals, weight loss, anti-aging, etc.; the ginkgo flavonoids and lipids in the Ginkgo biloba extract have the softening effect on the heart and brain vessels, which can improve memory The Proanthocyanidins in grape seeds can resist oxidation, nourish the skin and delay aging.. "Zhang Baotang seemed like a scholar at this time At present, the company has more than 40 employees, 100% of whom have bachelor's degree or above, and 10% of them have graduate degree It can be said that highly educated, high-quality professionals here to find a good platform to play Zhang Baotang also stipulated that "three days a week" should be designated as the company's "staff training day" to strengthen business, technology, sales, management and other aspects of learning R & D strength has become one of the important competitiveness and characteristics of "green man" as a high-tech enterprise At present, the company has taken the initiative to undertake the industrialization project of Luohanguo sweet v high purity product of Changsha Science and Technology Bureau in 2010, aiming to provide new sweet substitutes for diabetic patients and solve the problem of diabetic beverage market In 2010, the sales volume of lvman biotechnology reached 30 million yuan, with steady growth It is expected that this year, the sales volume will continue to grow at the rate of 15% - 25%, and will exceed 35 million yuan "To be an enterprise, we must be down-to-earth" and adhere to the business philosophy of "harmony is the most important, kindness is the foundation, and virtue is the first" Zhang Baotang said so and did so The "three for" of "Hunan three for Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of lvman, is the distillation of its business philosophy He led the company to participate in supplyside West, the most professional and largest plant extract industry exhibition in the world, vitafood in Switzerland, and CPHI in Shanghai, which won good reputation and a large number of sales orders In the face of the praise from foreigners, Zhang Baotang is humble and honest with the Chinese people It is incumbent on Zhang Baotang to return to his alma mater that "to be tolerant is to be generous, and to know your kindness is to be happy" On the wall of his office is a calligraphy work written by a famous calligrapher in his province From the start-up to now, Zhang Baotang has been quietly following and supporting the cause of his alma mater with his own actions On June 11, Zhang Baotang and other entrepreneurs representing Hunan plant extract association came to Hunan Agricultural University to participate in the awarding ceremony for excellent students in plant resource engineering and traditional Chinese medicine resource and development in College of horticulture and landscape architecture This is the third awarding ceremony of "Hunan plant extract association Talent Training Foundation Scholarship", 69 Students are rewarded in varying amounts In 2009, Hunan plant extract association was founded by Liu Zhonghua, the leader of national plant discipline In order to solve the problem of scientific research and living expenses for the students majoring in plant resource engineering of Hunan Agricultural University, the "Hunan plant extract association Talent Training Foundation Scholarship" was specially set up By 2011, the third session of the association had been held and more than 100 excellent students were awarded, It plays an exemplary role in establishing a good corporate social responsibility image for school enterprise cooperation Liu Zhonghua is the director of the National Research Center for the utilization of functional ingredients, the president of Hunan plant extract association, and the mentor and career leader of Zhang Baotang Zhang Baotang said affectionately, "it's my alma mater who has trained me to be a talent I can't forget my alma mater or my teacher Now some of these students can't finish their studies well because of their family environment, which is a pity to me To help and encourage them, so that they have more energy to invest in learning, and finally to enter the enterprise with practical talents, to repay their parents and the society, I believe that many entrepreneurs have the opportunity to do so " Up to now, dozens of agricultural university students have entered zhangbaotang's company for internship and employment, and performed well It is a bright spot in the capital era to prepare to realize the dream of taking off in the "new third board" listed private companies by means of financing platform Zhang Baotang, who plans to be listed on the "new third board" within this year, told reporters happily that the company's listing will become an important turning point for enterprises to become bigger and stronger, and it will also develop and improve itself with the help of the state's policies for high-tech enterprises The "new three board" set up by China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of science and technology of the people's Republic of China is an agent share transfer platform specially provided for non listed companies in National High-tech Zone, an important part of China's multi-level capital market, and also a reservoir of small and medium-sized boards and venture capital markets For this purpose, the company specially established the securities department for operation "Only by taking the road of large-scale capital operation, can we better promote product research and development and overseas market sales, rapidly grow bigger and stronger, produce standardized and intensive effects, become the industry leader, and finally realize the healthy growth of the company's profits and improve the company's competitiveness."
