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

After the canned fruits from Cui Gu Village successfully entered the provincial capital market, the village became bustling with people immersed in joy.

However, Wang Dashan was not carried away by his immediate success. He was well aware of the unpredictable nature of the market and he must always remain vigilant.

That day, Wang Dashan was inspecting the workshop of the cannery as usual, when he suddenly heard the workers whispering about something.

He walked closer and listened. It turned out that some workers had recently reported that with the increase in orders, the supply of raw materials could not keep up and the prices had also risen.

Wang Dashan frowned. He realized that this was a serious problem. If it was not solved in time, it would affect the normal production and supply of the cannery.

He immediately summoned several key village leaders and the head of the cannery and held an emergency meeting at the village committee.

Wang Dashan said seriously: "Comrades, we are now facing a big problem. The raw material supply is insufficient and the price is rising. This will directly affect our production and profits. Everyone, please share your ideas. We must quickly find a solution."

A person in charge said with a frown: "Dashan, the fruit production in several surrounding villages has been limited recently, and other buyers have raised the price. If we want to ensure the quality and quantity of raw materials, the cost will definitely increase a lot."

Another key member also agreed: "Yes, and our orders have already been signed. If we cannot deliver the goods on time, not only will we have to pay liquidated damages, but it will also affect our reputation in the provincial capital. What should we do?"

Wang Dashan pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "Don't worry, we can't just sit there and wait for death. I think we can expand our own orchard planting area on the one hand, and look for stable raw material suppliers in other more distant places on the other hand. At the same time, we can also discuss with the villagers to see if we can increase the purchase price without reducing the quality to ensure everyone's enthusiasm."

After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone felt that they made sense and nodded in agreement.

So, Wang Dashan started a new round of busyness.

He first found several large orchard growers in the village and discussed with them the matter of expanding the orchard planting area.

Wang Dashan said, "Uncles and aunts, our cannery business is getting better and better, but the supply of raw materials is a little tight. I would like to discuss with you whether we can expand the orchard in our village. This will not only ensure the supply of raw materials for our cannery, but also increase everyone's income."

An uncle said hesitantly: "Dashan, expanding the orchard is not a trivial matter. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it takes time for the fruit trees to grow."

Wang Dashan patiently explained, "Uncle, I know this is not easy, but we can work together to find a solution. We can organize everyone to help prepare the land first, and then introduce some high-quality fruit tree seedlings from other places, and strive to expand the orchard as soon as possible. Moreover, after the fruit trees bear fruit, our cannery will purchase them at a reasonable price, so you don't have to worry about sales issues."

After Wang Dashan's persuasion, several large-scale growers finally agreed to expand the orchard planting area.

Then, Wang Dashan took several young people from the village to several surrounding counties to look for raw material suppliers.

They visited several places and finally found a large-scale fruit planting base where the fruits were of rich variety and good quality.

Wang Dashan had an in-depth conversation with the person in charge of the base, and the two sides reached a cooperation intention. The other party agreed to provide a stable supply of raw materials to the Cuigu Village Cannery at a reasonable price.

After solving the problem of raw material supply, Wang Dashan began to consider how to further improve the production efficiency of the cannery.

He and technician Zhang worked together and decided to upgrade the cannery's production equipment.

Wang Dashan said to technician Zhang: "Technician, you see, although our current production equipment can still meet the current production needs, as orders continue to increase, it will sooner or later be unable to keep up. We have to find a way to introduce some more advanced equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality."

Technician Zhang nodded and said, "Dashan, I have the same idea. But it will cost a lot of money to introduce new equipment. We need to plan it well."

Wang Dashan said: "For funds, we can borrow some money from the bank and take some money out of the cannery's profits. We must focus on the long term and not give up development opportunities because of the current difficulties."

So, Wang Dashan started running around again, handling loan procedures and contacting equipment suppliers.

After a period of hard work, the new production equipment was finally delivered to the cannery.

During the process of installing and debugging the new equipment, Wang Dashan stayed in the workshop and worked overtime with the workers.

He personally guided the workers in operating the new equipment to ensure that everyone could master it proficiently.

A young worker said to Wang Dashan: "Brother Dashan, this new equipment is really advanced and much easier to operate than the previous equipment."

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Yes, this new equipment can not only improve production efficiency, but also ensure the stability of product quality. We must make good use of this equipment to run our cannery better."

Thanks to Wang Dashan's efforts, the cannery finally overcame the crisis and production and operations returned to normal.

Moreover, with the commissioning of new equipment and the stabilization of raw material supply, the cannery's output and quality have been greatly improved, and its competitiveness in the provincial capital market has become stronger.
