Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

Time passed quietly in the busyness and development of Cui Gu Village. In the blink of an eye, it was the busy farming season and the crops in the fields had reached a critical growth stage, requiring the villagers to devote a lot of energy to take care of them.

But at this critical moment, problems arose at the fruit processing factory.

On this day, Wang Dashan and several workers were checking the production of a new batch of jam in the processing plant when they suddenly heard a noise.

It turned out that Xiao Li, who was in charge of purchasing raw materials, rushed in in a hurry and shouted anxiously, "Brother Dashan, it's bad. The fruit we ordered from the neighboring village is going to increase the price. What should we do?"

Wang Dashan frowned and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Didn't we agree on the price and quantity before? Why are you suddenly raising the price?"

Xiao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just asked them and they said that their village's expenses have increased a lot this year. Fertilizers, pesticides and other things have become more expensive. If they still sell them to us at the original price, they will lose money."

Wang Dashan pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Li, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to the village chief and see how to solve this problem."

After saying that, Wang Dashan hurried to the village committee.

When they arrived at the village committee, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang were worrying about the account books. When they saw Wang Dashan coming, they knew something must be wrong.

When Wang Dashan explained the situation, Village Chief Petrov couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, this is really a double whammy. Now is the time to spend money. If the price of raw materials goes up, our costs will be high, and the price of products will also have to go up. It's still a question whether the market can accept it by then."

Technician Zhang also agreed: "Yes, and we have been cooperating with the surrounding villages for so long. If we fall out over the price, it will be troublesome to cooperate with us in the future."

Wang Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Village head, technician, I think we still have to have a good talk with the neighboring village. We can tell them about our difficulties and see if we can think of a solution together and find a compromise. After all, everyone wants to live a good life, so we should show some understanding for each other."

Village Chief Petrov nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the neighboring village."

So the three of them took a few village representatives and went to the neighboring village.

When we arrived at the neighboring village, we found Captain Zhao, who was in charge of the fruit supply.

Village Chief Petrov smiled and said, "Captain Zhao, we have been cooperating for a long time and it has always been very pleasant. This time you suddenly said you wanted to raise the price, which really stumped us."

Captain Zhao also looked helpless: "Village head, it's not that we are unreasonable, it's just that the situation this year is special and we can't do anything about it. Look, the price of fertilizer has doubled compared to last year, and pesticides are also much more expensive. If we don't raise the price, we will have worked in vain this year."

Wang Dashan said quickly: "Captain Zhao, we understand what you said, but you also know the current situation of our processing plant. The price of the products is fixed in the market. If the raw materials increase so much at once, our costs will increase, and the product prices will increase accordingly, and then it will be hard to say whether we can sell them. We are all neighboring villages, and we can only live a good life if we help each other, right?"

Captain Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what do you think we should do? We can't do a business that loses money."

Technician Zhang thought for a while and said, "Captain Zhao, I have an idea. Do you think it will work? Can we increase the price a little this year, but not too much? Let's calculate the price difference. When we cooperate next year, if the cost is reduced, we will adjust the price and give you more compensation at that time. Do you think this is feasible?"

Captain Zhao discussed it with several cadres from the neighboring village and felt that this approach was worth considering.

But some villagers are not very happy about this, thinking that their village will suffer a loss.

At this time, Wang Dashan stood up and said, "Fellow villagers, I know everyone has concerns. But our cooperation is long-term, and we cannot just look at the immediate benefits. If the processing plant in Cuigu Village develops well, the demand for fruit will definitely be even greater in the future, and everyone's income will only increase by then. Moreover, our village can also help you in other ways. For example, we can send technicians to guide you in fruit tree planting and improve production and quality, which is also a disguised way to increase everyone's income."

After some earnest persuasion, the villagers in the neighboring village finally came to their senses and agreed to this plan.

Wang Dashan and his colleagues had just breathed a sigh of relief after resolving the issue of raw material prices, but they did not expect that new troubles would arise in the processing plant.

A batch of jam was found to be of substandard quality during inspection. It turned out that several new workers were unskilled in the operation and made mistakes in the mixing proportions.

Wang Dashan rushed to the workshop, looked at the boxes of unqualified jam, and said seriously to the team leader in charge of production: "This won't do. The quality of our products is the lifeline of our processing plant. We can't be careless at all."

The team leader lowered his head and said self-reproachfully: "Brother Dashan, it's all my fault. I didn't train the new workers well. I will urge them to relearn the operating procedures and ensure that such problems will not occur again in the future."

Wang Dashan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Let's deal with this batch of unqualified products as soon as possible. We can't let them flow into the market and ruin our reputation. Then we will organize retraining for everyone, especially the new workers, and make sure they master every step of the operation."

In the next few days, Wang Dashan personally led the new and old workers to relearn the production process in the workshop, teaching them carefully over and over again from the selection of raw materials to the specific operations of each process to the final inspection of finished products.

Dazhu said to the new workers, "You must study hard. Brother Dashan teaches us so hard so that our factory can get better and better. We must not let him down."

The new worker, Xiao Li, blushed and said, "Brother Dazhu, we know we were wrong. We will work harder and do a good job next time."

After this incident, the workers in the processing plant paid more attention to product quality, and production gradually returned to normal.

The villagers of Cuigu Village have become more united in the face of difficulties. Everyone firmly believes that as long as they work together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.
