Tang Ximin and his wife, villagers of Group 10, Yingzi Village, Siheyong Town, Weichang County, run a greenhouse flower business and earned more than 20,000 yuan in sales during the Spring Festival period.

In 2012, Tang Ximin and his wife Du Fengli invested more than 100,000 yuan to build 2 flower greenhouses covering more than 1,000 sq m in Yingzi Village 9, where they planted more than 200 varieties including camellia, peach blossom, kumquat, areca palm and dragon tree, mainly engaging in the business of leasing and selling herbaceous flowers, fresh flowers and bonsai. To open up sales channels, Tang Ximin registered a mobile WeChat shop in 2015, offering after-sales services such as online flower selection, door-to-door delivery, flower disease diagnosis and treatment, and greenhouse boarding, which was welcomed by a large number of customers, and his flower business became more and more prosperous. This year he also added varieties such as peony, Guzmania and Phalaenopsis.

In Tang Ximin's flower greenhouse, the reporter saw that all kinds of fresh flowers and green plants were competing in beauty, full of vitality and growing gratifyingly. Tang Ximin told the reporter that because his flowers have many varieties, good quality and good after-sales service, they attract many repeat customers to buy. Especially during the Spring Festival period, sales increased greatly, and he earned more than 20,000 yuan in less than twenty days.
