1. The origin of Hongta Mountain and the Asian Tobacco King.
1. Chu Shijian was born in a peasant family in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province in 1928, he was very smart since he was a child, and his high level of Chinese proficiency was high. Later, he joined the army and joined the Communist Party. In 1953, he served as the secretary of the district party committee, and from 1958 to 1978, he was sent to farms, sugar factories and other enterprises; In 1979, 51-year-old Chu Shijian was appointed as the director of Yuxi Cigarette Factory.
2. Soon after Chu Shijian took office, the boiler of the cigarette factory failed, which was a good thing for the workers at that time, because the boiler was broken and they didn't have to work. Chu Shijian needs reform.
The first thing he did was to change the laziness of the workers with the lump sum method.
The second thing is: the introduction of advanced equipment from abroad has increased the production capacity of cigarette factories.
The third thing is: to ensure the quality of tobacco leaves. In 1987 and 1988, the quality and storage of tobacco leaves in Yuxi Cigarette Factory surprised its peers. In 1987, Yuxi Cigarette Factory became the first in the industry for the first time by virtue of hard indicators such as turnover, profit, profit and tax.
With the best raw materials, world-class equipment, and very effective production management, it is difficult for the products of Yuxi Cigarette Factory not to be popular.
3. After the successful reform, Chu Shijian established Hongta Group. In 1991, the profit and tax of Hongtashan single brand reached 25$500 million; in 1992 it rose to $3.2 billion; In 1993, it reached 4.5 billion yuan. In a cigarette market survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics, the three brands of Hongtashan, Ashima and Hongmei produced by Yuxi Cigarette Factory ranked among the top three. In the high-end cigarette market, Hongtashan's annual sales volume exceeds that of all domestic cigarette brands, accounting for 80% of the market. Yuxi Cigarette Factory once became the largest tobacco company in Asia, and Chu Shijian was given the title of "Asian Tobacco King".
4. In the 18 years that Chu Shijian worked in the tobacco factory, he created 99.1 billion yuan in profits and taxes.
2. Prisoners under the stairs.
In the 90s of the last century, the power of Hongta Group was concentrated in the hands of Chu Shijian, and if you want to get "Hongta Mountain", you must have Chu Shijian's approval. As long as you take the approval of "Hongta Mountain", you can make a steady profit.
In 1995, his daughter and wife were imprisoned on suspicion of accepting bribes and huge sums of money, and the daughter later committed suicide in prison, and his wife was acquitted in 1999. In 1997, 71-year-old Chu Shijian was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life for the crime of ** and huge amount of property **. In 2001, his sentence was commuted to 17 years in prison, and he was later released on medical parole for severe diabetes and restricted his activities to his hometown.
Three, the orange. 
In 2002, Chu Shijian, who was released on medical parole, contracted a 2,400-acre barren mountain and planted oranges. His wife named it "Chu Cheng", which means the orange planted by Chu Shijian. From planting in 2003 to a gradual harvest in 2009, Chu Shijian spent six years in the orchard every day, discussing various planting details with fruit farmers.
In 2004, he was released on parole; In 2008, his sentence was commuted to 12 years in prison; In 2011, he was released from prison, and the oranges he planted began to usher in a bumper harvest.
In November 2012, taking advantage of the development of the e-commerce platform, Chu Cheng was put on sale on the platform, and it soared to one pound for a while.
In 2013, the sales volume of Chu orange reached 10,000 tons, generating revenue of more than 100 million yuan.
Most fruits in China only have local brands, such as Gannan navel orange and Guangyuan kiwifruit, and there are no corporate brands. Through a high degree of standardization and strict quality control, Chu Shijian has created the first agricultural product brand with national influence, creating a taste difference that can be tasted. His greatest contribution to China's agriculture is to promote the standardized production of agricultural products.
He passed away on March 5, 2019 at the age of 91.
