Since the beginning of March, the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Shandong has occurred in scattered points, and the prevention and control measures in some areas have been upgraded, which has had a greater impact on the production and life of the people, and the logistics in the province have also been affected. The 5 tons of danshen that Ma Xiangyu bought from a local farmer in Linqu County, Weifang City, has been packaged and is waiting for the logistics to resume and send it to Jinan. Although the epidemic has delayed some time, Ma Xiangyu still can't hide his joy when it comes to this.
In late April, with the assistance of the Shandong Provincial Tax Cadre School (hereinafter referred to as the "Provincial Tax School"), Ma Xiangyu signed a formal agreement with a well-known pharmaceutical company in Shandong to supply danshen, which will purchase 5 tons of danshen from her as a raw material for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, which is expected to bring her an income of about 10,000 yuan.
Ma Xiangyu was originally a poor family in Dafujiazhuang Village, Wujing Town, Linqu County, but due to a serious car accident in the early years, her husband was paralyzed in bed, and the family situation was very difficult. For many years, the leaders of the provincial tax school have been paying close attention to the life of Ma Xiangyu's family, not only giving material help, but also making a lot of efforts to help them find a way out of poverty completely.
This cooperation with pharmaceutical companies is a way for the provincial tax school to increase income for Ma Xiangyu. "The situation of Ma Xiangyu's family is rather special. When her husband was in a car accident in 2004, the eldest daughter had just turned 7 years old, she was also pregnant, and the following year she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, after the accident, the burden of the family suddenly fell on her alone," Wang Chunhong, chairman of the provincial tax school trade union, told reporters that due to the serious condition, Ma Xiangyu's husband's high daily treatment costs quickly cost the couple all their savings. In desperation, after more than 40 days of hospitalization, although her husband still had a esophagus, larynx and urinary tube, Ma Xiangyu chose to apply for her husband to be discharged from the hospital for convalescence. In those years, taking care of her paralyzed husband in bed and raising three children at the same time became the focus of Ma Xiangyu's life. Fortunately, with the help of her in-laws, she was able to take time out to take care of the hawthorn trees without losing this only source of income.
"You may not believe it, but during that time, from my husband's car accident to about 2012, our family's annual income was only about 4,000 yuan." The income is meager, four thousand yuan to raise two old people, three children and a paralyzed patient, the hardship can be imagined. Although ma Xiangyu's family has a stable income after the help of the society, there are still two children who are about to go to college, and the children's future tuition and living expenses are still a problem.
In September 2021, after Liu Yong, vice president of the provincial tax school, came to the school to perform his duties, he was very concerned about the situation of Ma Xiangyu's family and thought of ways to help him completely get rid of poverty and find a way to get rich. The danshen supply cooperation was promoted by him, contacting the enterprise, contacting the local tax bureau, President Liu personally worked to ensure that the contract could be smoothly landed and send peace of mind to the Ma Xiangyu family.
"With the joint help of the leaders of the tax school and the Linqu County Taxation Bureau, my cooperative has successfully passed the supplier qualification review of the procurement pharmaceutical company, and a purchase agreement has been signed a while ago, and the first batch of 5 tons of danshen is about to be sent to Jinan." To be honest, I never thought I could get to this point before, and it was the first time in my life that I had tried it. I believe that through this collaboration, the future of life will be changed dramatically. Ma Xiangyu calculated that the gross profit from the sale of these 5 tons of danshen was about 10,000 yuan, and there were seven or eight thousand left in addition to freight and other expenses, which was a real increase.
The cooperation has gone through several twists and turnsThe signing of the agreement was not all smooth sailing.
The first is the selection of products. Dafujiazhuang Village, Wujing Town, Linqu County, has always been rich in hawthorn, and like other villagers, Ma Xiangyu's family also lives by planting hawthorns, and since hawthorns are planted, it is necessary to start with hawthorns. If you can contact enterprises that can purchase hawthorn in large quantities for a long time, then the villagers have a long-term stable source of income. From this point of view, Liu Yong, vice president of the provincial tax school, helped contact a well-known pharmaceutical company in Shandong, hoping to sell the hawthorn grown by Ma Xiangyu's family and the nearby mountainous areas as Chinese medicinal materials to the company through matchmaking, and find a way for the Ma Xiangyu family to solve economic difficulties for a long time.
Therefore, the provincial tax school contacted Ma Xiangyu to send hawthorn samples to the pharmaceutical company, but because the picking season had passed, the acidity of the samples was not enough and did not pass the test. What to do? Principal Liu also thought that in addition to hawthorn, Linqu is also rich in danshen. He contacted Ma Xiangyu again to send a sample of danshen to the pharmaceutical company, and after inspection, the salvia produced by Linqu was of high quality and met the procurement standards of the enterprise.
The problem of selecting products was solved, but Ma Xiangyu retreated. This is undoubtedly a good way to increase income, but for Ma Xiangyu, it is an area she has never set foot in, without any business experience, confused, and do not know how to carry it out. After learning of this situation, the provincial tax school trade union actively encouraged Ma Xiangyu to build up confidence, helped her come up with ideas, thought of ways, and worked with her to do some preparatory work such as the supply of danshen, the transportation of goods and the raising of funds.
In order to dispel her doubts, on March 4, 2022, the chairman and vice chairman of the Provincial Taxation School Trade Union accompanied Ma Xiangyu and her sister to the pharmaceutical company that purchased danshen to conduct field research and inspection, and discussed with the person in charge of the supply of medicinal materials in the market, and preliminarily determined the supply procedures, quality specifications, payment time and other matters.
However, according to the standardized operation requirements of the pharmaceutical company, the agreement could not be signed immediately, requiring Ma Xiangyu to first establish a farmers' cooperative suitable for rural economic development, and then sign a supply contract.
When the leaders of the tax school learned of this, they immediately contacted the Yeyuan Branch of the Linqu Taxation Bureau and asked them to assist them together. Ma Wanli, director of the Yeyuan Taxation Branch, personally led the team to contact Ma Xiangyu, and when he learned about the situation, he learned that Ma Xiangyu had registered as an individual industrial and commercial household in the early stage, but the business scope did not include the planting and sales of Chinese herbal medicines, and it was impossible to conduct business dealings with pharmaceutical companies. In order not to delay the signing of the contract, Director Ma and Ma Xiangyu went to the Wujing Industrial and Commercial Administration Office to consult the conditions for handling the farmers' professional cooperative, and helped her sort out and prepare relevant materials. With the support of Wujing Industrial and Commercial Institute, Ma Xiangyu registered the "Linqu Hawthorn Origin Agricultural Products Professional Cooperative", and on March 30, the Industrial and Commercial Institute issued an industrial and commercial registration certificate to him, which met the procurement threshold of downstream customers.
In addition, professional cooperatives need special financial personnel to purchase, issue invoices, bookkeeping, declaration and tax declaration. Considering that Ma Xiangyu is not familiar with electronic products, the Yeyuan Branch of Linqu Taxation Bureau helped him contact the financial bookkeeping company, and Honghui Finance and Taxation Co., Ltd. learned about Ma Xiangyu's family situation and offered to provide free financial and accounting services. According to the market situation, it is expected to save 3600 yuan in costs a year.
In the end, all the difficulties were solved with the joint help of the provincial tax school and the Linqu County Taxation Bureau, and the danshen procurement cooperation with pharmaceutical companies could be implemented immediately, and Ma Xiangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The staff of the Yeyuan Branch of the Linqu County Taxation Bureau also intimately sent her and the farmers of the cooperative a tax "understanding paper", telling them that the farmers' professional cooperatives can enjoy very favorable tax policies: the self-produced agricultural products sold by agricultural producers are exempt from value-added tax, enterprise income tax and stamp duty, helping them understand the relevant preferential policies of the State Administration of Taxation on farmers' professional cooperatives.
"Ginseng" is due to a charityMa Xiangyu and the provincial tax school originated in 2015.
Before that, in Wujing Town, Linqu County, there was a family with a similar situation to Ma Xiangyu, where her husband was paralyzed in bed after a car accident, and the two mothers (Zhendong's mother and Zhihui's mother, Ma Xiangyu was one of them) did not abandon the situation of picking up the family burden. Their stories have received social attention. Since 2009, the volunteers of Weifang Firefly Public Welfare have organized two families to visit the New Year every Spring Festival and sent them daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil. During the Spring Festival of 2013, the volunteers learned that the hawthorn harvest that year was not good, there was no male labor force at home, and there were great difficulties in picking. The income of the hawthorn tree is the main source of income for these two families, and if the hawthorn tree harvest is not good, it will lead to a lower income, which means that the already poor life will be more difficult.
In order to enable these two families to have a stable hawthorn income, the volunteers of Firefly Public Welfare have thought of a way: the Wujing Mountain Area of Linqu County has beautiful scenery, and many urban families often take their children to go on outings.
As a result, the "Hawthorn Tree Love" public welfare project came into being.
In this project, each claimant can claim a hawthorn tree for 110 yuan per year, and after successful adoption, the money is directly given to the two families, and the claimant's information board will be hung on each claimed hawthorn tree. Usually, everyone is organized to fertilize, pull grass, pick and other activities of the claimed hawthorn tree, and the rest of the time is helped by two mothers to manage the fruit tree, and exchange their labor for a relatively stable remuneration. Ma Xiangyu's family has more than 200 hawthorn trees, which can bring more than 20,000 yuan of stable income every year, "Don't underestimate the 20,000 fast money, without this money, the cost of the eldest daughter's college cannot be solved," Ma Xiangyu said.
In March 2015, the public welfare activity of "Love of Hawthorn Tree" was noticed by Zhang Jing, former director of the Party Office of Shandong Provincial Tax Cadre School. After requesting permission, the Party Office issued a school-wide adoption proposal, calling on faculty and staff to actively participate. It is reported that the provincial tax school registered to claim 36 people that year, and a total of about 30 hawthorn trees were claimed.
Since then, the "Love of hawthorn trees" has taken root in the provincial tax school. Every autumn when the hawthorn trees are ripe, the provincial tax school organizes teachers and staff to pick on the hawthorn garden of Ma Xiangyu's family, and some teachers and staff also take the initiative to buy their own sweet potatoes and other specialties to further love and help. Since 2015, the "Love of Hawthorn Tree" adoption activity has been carried out in the provincial tax school for 7 years, and has become a normalized project for the creation of school civilization and public welfare activities. In the past 7 years, the provincial tax school has about 30 faculty members participating in the adoption activities every year, with an average annual payment of about 2500 yuan.
"After Vice President Liu Yong came to perform his duties in 2021, he attached great importance to and vigorously supported the "Love of Hawthorn Tree" public welfare activities that our school participated in for 7 consecutive years, requiring the establishment of the concept of 'teaching them to fish, it is better to teach them to fish', and to do the public welfare projects in depth, in reality, and in detail; it is required to smooth all resources, accurately support, and truly help the help objects to get out of difficulties and embark on the road to prosperity. Under the guidance of this concept, we contacted Ma Xiangyu to further understand her family difficulties and needs, which led us to think of ways to help her contact enterprises and sell Danshen in Linqu to help her increase her income," said Wang Chunhong, chairman of the provincial tax school trade union.
At present, Ma Xiangyu's eldest daughter has graduated from college and found a job in Qingdao, and Long Fengtian has grown up and is in her second year of high school. In addition to managing hawthorn trees, Ma Xiangyu now works in a rubber factory, and can get an average of about 3,000 yuan per month, plus the 10,000 yuan that can be obtained after this cooperation, and life is very different from before.
Tax-enterprise cooperation to accurately alleviate poverty and help rural revitalization"Nothing can express my inner gratitude, thank you to the leaders of the tax school for giving me the most respectful help, thank you Director Ma for personally taking me to handle business, but also thank the company for trusting me, to get to this day, can not be separated from their selfless help", talking about this, Ma Xiangyu is very excited, gratitude overflowing with words.
In response to this cooperation, the relevant person in charge of the pharmaceutical company said that the leaders of the group attach great importance to this procurement project. "For us, this is not only a simple help; the tax department has gone deep into the front line of poverty alleviation through paired assistance and other ways, and precise support is not only conducive to the increase of farmers' income, but also conducive to expanding and consolidating the results of the country's poverty alleviation; for enterprises, it not only shows corporate social responsibility and responsibility, but also helps enterprises to improve their tax credit, and tax-enterprise cooperation in poverty alleviation to achieve a win-win situation." If we have the opportunity in the future, we will continue to do it. ”
Poverty alleviation must first help the intellect. If we want to help the poor masses get out of their predicament completely, we must support our thinking, concepts, and confidence; specifically, in practice, we must help the knowledge, technology, and ideas, help the poor people improve their comprehensive quality of getting rid of poverty and become rich, help them set ideas, plans, industries, and goals, and set models for getting rid of poverty and getting rich; and guide the poor masses to carry forward the spirit of self-reliance and create a happy life with their own hands.
This is a positive attempt to accurately alleviate poverty through cooperation between tax enterprises, and the provincial tax school is undoubtedly a bridge between farmers and enterprises. This cooperation started from the public welfare and was sublimated in practice. Inadvertently planting willows and willows, a small move has boosted the income of a family and even a farmer in a region.
The relevant person in charge of the provincial tax school said that due to the relatively large demand for Chinese herbal medicines in the pharmaceutical company, the establishment and successful operation of the farmers' cooperative will not only accurately help the Ma Xiangyu family get rid of economic difficulties, but also drive more farmers in Wujing Town to plant Chinese herbs such as danshen in the future to help them embark on the road to prosperity, "which can also be regarded as contributing our modest strength to the revitalization of the countryside."
