In 2007, Chen Deqi, who has been doing business at home and abroad, visited Ningxia. At that time, the eastern foot of Helan Mountain was still a vast wasteland Gobi, but Chen Deqi had a special liking for this land. He decided to grow grapes here and brew world-class high-quality wine. Chen Deqi lives in a color steel room and eats instant noodles. It took several years and nearly 300 million yuan to make 5 million trees firmly take root in this Gobi desert.

In order to ensure the excellent quality of grapes, all the seedlings in Chendeqi Grape Industrial Park are grafted seedlings from France and Italy. At the same time, drip irrigation system is introduced from Israel and irrigated with Helan Mountain water source. In Chen Deqi's idea, only high standards can grow good grapes and brew good wine.

After years of hard work, the "Helan God" brand wine created by Chen Deqi has won gold medals in many competitions at home and abroad. He said, "I want the world to recognize China wines." .

Driven by Chen Deqi, more than 10 famous wineries at home and abroad began to enter Ningxia one after another, which led Ningxia to form a large wine producing area with an annual comprehensive output value of1660 million yuan, and also solved the employment problem of local labor. Only in the peak period of employment in Chen Deqi vineyard, the number of workers per day reached more than 3,000.

Chen Deqi's next important plan is to build the undeveloped 50,000 mu of Gobi Desert in100,000 mu into a grape town integrating wineries, vineyards, resorts, schools and tourism, which is expected to provide employment opportunities for tens of thousands of local residents.
