When he was a senior in college, he knew from what he'd learnt that in countries with wide open spaces, such as the U.S., it was possible to make good use of machines and thereby lower costs. He also knew that Taiwan is mountainous with very little level land, and that cultivated areas were relatively few. Therefore, it was necessary to develop high-yield crops, flower seedlings for example.
大四時，經由學校知識的傳授，他瞭解到地廣的國家如美國，可以利用機械化操作，降低成本；而台灣的山多平地少，平均耕地面積又小，必須發展高產值的作物，例如花卉種苗。
