刘文凯:辞去政府工 专心做菜农
6月初记者应邀去加拿大中部农业大省曼尼托巴省采访时,陪同记者的加拿大贸易和投资局的泰勒先生提醒说,一定要去中国移民刘文凯的太阳能温室农场看看。

“刘的经历很有意思,更重要的是,他把中国农业的先进技术带到了加拿大。”泰勒说。“他让很多人意识到,中国农业可能整体上相对落后,但有些方面还是很值 得我们学习的,中加两国农业交流的空间很大。”

刘文凯的农场位于温尼伯市郊埃拉镇,记者去采访当天正赶上一名来自卡尔加里的农民来买他的温室大棚设备。“设备都是从中国进的,我的技术简单实用,只要对买主稍做培训,他们回去便可组装使用了。”皮肤被晒得黝黑的刘文凯一边说,一边搓去手指上沾满的黑土。

出身农家的刘文凯1980年毕业于中国江西农大,后在江西农科院工作。1993年赴美国北达科他州大学做访问学者,并获遗传学育种硕士学位。 1996年他移民加拿大,进入曼尼托巴省农业厅下属的农作物多样化试验推广站,出任中国蔬菜研究项目经理。一年后,他被调往加联邦农业部在曼尼托巴省的研究中心工作。

温尼伯是加拿大第八大城市,也是世界上最冷的大城市之一,冬天平均温度低于零下10摄氏度,夜晚甚至可以降到零下50摄氏度。“但我发现温尼伯全年阳光非常充足,于是就有了把中国温室大棚技术引进来的想法。我深信,去种菜更能发挥我的所学,也有更好的回报。”

1998年,刘文凯辞去工作,投资4万多加元买下15英亩地,成立了“文凯东方蔬菜公司”。刘文凯种菜采用中国农民深耕细作的方法,当地农民只种一季,他至少种三季,像萝卜等可以种四五季,大大增加了产量。他还采用中国的地膜覆盖技术,使菜地不长杂草并保持水分,从而省去频繁打药、施肥、浇水等环节。这样不仅节省成本,生产出的蔬菜也是纯正的绿色蔬菜。

然而,由于当地人对中国蔬菜缺乏认识,他第一年种出的菜无人问津,“赔得一塌糊涂”。第二年,刘文凯直接跑到卡尔加里一家连锁超市总部做工作,成功说服它接受自己的产品。从此,刘文凯的蔬菜知名度越来越大。如今他的菜不仅在温尼伯市7家连锁超市有售,还销到附近省份和美国一些州。在自由市场上,顾客往往排成两个30米长的队伍购买,最忙的时候5个收银员都忙不过来。

记者走进一座太阳能大棚,只见里面西红柿硕果累累。刘文凯的大棚设备产自中国辽宁,大棚后墙夹板里储存有15厘米厚的沙子,白天吸收太阳能,晚间散热,大棚顶部到晚间再盖上厚毯子。虽构造简单,保温效果却相当好。去年当地最低气温零下45度,大棚里温度却一直保持在零度以上。“我就靠一台木柴炉,就保证了全年蔬菜茁壮成长。而当地农民的传统大棚使用天然气取暖,光是取暖费就耗去1万加元。”

节能高效的中国大棚技术引起了曼省政府和当地农民的浓厚兴趣。前来购买大棚设备的农民已扩展到艾伯塔省、萨斯喀彻温省以及美国北达科他州。省农业部门官员也已打算在该省北部推广使用这种大棚。刘文凯也因此成了当地的新闻人物,包括加拿大广播公司等30多家媒体都对他做了专访。

目前,刘文凯雇有3名从中国来的全职工人,夏季忙时另招15个零工帮忙。他打算从中国多招一些工人过来,将大棚从目前的3个增加到20多个,同时增加露天菜地面积,满足更多客户需要。

刘文凯还有一个更宏大的计划,他要在温尼伯建一个太阳能生态园,在里面栽种花草树木,并建设商店、餐馆、娱乐中心等,建设成大型商贸娱乐中心,生态园规模在3到4英亩。“一旦动工,一年多就可以建好。”刘文凯的眼神里充满了对未来的信心。(赵青)

 Setting up your own business 最小化

Setting up your own business
  
There can be many rewards from running your own business but there can also be many pitfalls. One of the key ways of minimising risk is to do some planning before you commit yourself to self-employment.

Generate ideas
What business will you start?

Generating business ideas is an integral part of business start-up , for example:

to find one that is more interesting and therefore more motivating

to adapt an idea to make it different to the competition.

It is also an invaluable skill when actually in business to help spread the risk, encourage growth, prolong the life span of a product or service and adapt to a changing marketplace.

Personal audit
Do you really want to do this? Are you able to run your own business? Do you have the skills? You will need not only the technical skills related to your product or service but also the financial skills to maintain control and selling skills to generate business. Business ownership requires tremendous commitment. Never set up just because you can’t find a job.

Marketing Plan 
If you have no market you have no business.

Product, price, place and promotion are the key components of marketing.

Do you have a market for your idea? Do you know who your customers will be and are there lots of them? Will you be able to get more in the future?

Who are your competitors and why should people use your product or service rather than theirs?

Financial backers will want evidence of this market but you need to convince yourself that self-employment is a better option than working for someone else. So, you will have to do market research; ideally even have a skeleton order book.

Finance 
Is your idea financially viable? Will you be able to maintain a healthy cash flow?

Many good ideas don't make money. Only by drawing up a plan will you find out if yours makes financial sense. Financial backers will want a financial plan but even if you don't need an injection of cash, make sure you are not wasting your own time or money.

Minimise your overheads. Only buy essential equipment; consider leasing instead. Taking on a lease on premises can become a millstone - would it be possible to work from home or from a friend’s premises? Make sure you are able to cover your living costs as well as your business ones.

And finally…If you are going into business with a friend, a partnership drawn up by a lawyer is vital. A 'gentleman’s agreement’ is a thing of the past.
