Gold panning in coconut shell

In June 2003, Mo Yunfeng of Ding'an County, Hainan Province, returned home with 50,000 yuan of wages from work and was ready to start a business. He was bored in the house for a long time and he didn't think of any suitable project. He frowned all day. On this day, he came out of the house and saw that his mother was brushing the pot with coconut skin and brushing the oil on the pot a few times. His eyes can't help but shine. He thinks that the plastic pot brushes sold in the market are made of chemical materials, while the coconut palm inside the coconut shell is fluffy, soft and has strong adsorption power. Oil decontamination kitchen "artifact", if you use natural coconut palm to make environmentally friendly pot brush, to cater to people's pursuit of green key life, there will be a big market!

He told his two friends to his thoughts, and they both expressed their willingness to try. Three people bought back a bunch of various pot brushes. Carefully analyze how these products are made. It turns out that making a pot brush is actually very simple. Just try to roll up the coco and install a handle, and the product will be available!

Next, they started to extract coconut palm from the coconut shell. I thought it was very simple. I didn't expect to find out that it was the biggest technical problem. Since there are no ready-made machines on the market, the three of them can only try to make their own. For more than a year, the three of them tried, denied, and modified every day. I don’t know how many times I tried. The two friends have retired, but Mo Yunfeng did not believe this evil. He vowed to make the machine, but when he spent many years of savings, he was ready to accept his life.

On the night of the day he was about to give up, he was lying in bed in pain, turning over and over to sleep, and finally he simply climbed up and grabbed a magazine at hand to kill time. A story in the magazine attracted him. A boy participated in the school's 10km cross-country race. After running for a while, he sweated and his feet were weak. At this time, the school's sheltered car passed by him, and the classmates who had already got on the bus greeted him. He: "If you can't run, just get on the bus." He shook his head and refused. After a while, he felt that his eyes were blurred and his chest was tight. At this moment, another sheltered vehicle came over. He hesitated and refused to get on the bus because he wanted to stick to the finish line. I don't know how long it took, and there was a hillside in front of his eyes. At this time, he felt the eyes of Venus, the whole body collapsed, the hillside in front of him, in his eyes.

Libi is even more noble than Mount Everest. He was desperate, no longer insisted, and he did not hesitate to go up when the car greeted him again. What he can't think of is that the hill is the end. He regretted it, and he only had to hold on for another minute and sprint to reach the end. The boy remembered this lesson. In the future, he always reminded himself that he could reach the finish line in one minute. In this way, he ran to the world champion's podium.

Putting down the magazine, he pondered for a long time, once again walked into the workshop of the work, and studied it carefully. In the days that followed, he repeatedly hit the wall, but he never despaired and never gave up. Finally in the spring of 2006, he extracted the coconut palm from a coconut shell.

After this problem was solved, he quickly produced the first batch of coconut brushes. In order to improve the visibility of the products as soon as possible, he took the coconut brush to participate in the Yiwu International Commodities Fair. One day, I sold more than 5,000 coconut brushes and sent out three boxes of business cards! At noon the next day, a Japanese businessman found him and asked: “Where does the raw material come from?” He said that the raw material of this coconut brush is the coconut shell brown silk from Hainan. He also said that coconut palm is natural, non-toxic, washable and breathable. For the first time, Japanese buyers heard that there were environmentally friendly coconut brushes made of pure natural materials. They were very interested and constantly asked him various related questions. After talking about them for nearly three hours, Japanese businessmen signed 50 on the spot. Ten thousand coconut brush orders.

Due to the good response from the environmentally friendly coconut brush users who hit the market, the orders have increased. In 2007, they sold more than 2 million products and earned more than 800,000 yuan!

With the hot sale of coconut brushes, he thought that a raw material can be made into a wide variety of products, so what other products can be made in addition to various brushes? After several months of exploration, he decided to set up a handicraft factory to produce a variety of coconut palm crafts. The ordinary coconut palm is transformed here to become a lifelike penguin, koala and rabbit. Soon, these coir dolls became Hainan's special tourism products and were loved by tourists.

Now Mo Yunfeng's coconut brush and coconut palm handicrafts are not only sold nationwide, but also exported to Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places. The young man who was not famous at that time became a wealthy man.

Until now, looking back on the road that I have traveled before, Mo Yunfeng still has a lingering fear. If I gave up the research on the coconut brush, what would it look like today? In an interview, he reminded people that they must hold on to the most difficult times, and sometimes only one minute, they will be greeted.
