In 1985, Shi boldly expanded his efforts by signing a contract with Changmaotan Forest Farm to control sand on 58,000-mu land. He set up a sand-control company and collaborated with 482 individuals from 127 households in neighboring areas.

However, the survival rate of the saplings was not as high as he had expected. Facing repeated failure, Shi made up his mind to learn new methods, and finally fixed the drifting sand in the third year.
