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

Cui Gu Village is developing better and better, but it also faces some new challenges.

As the sales of walnut products continue to increase, the supply of raw materials has gradually become tight.

The number of walnut trees in the village is limited, and the growth cycle of walnuts is relatively long, making it difficult to meet production needs for the time being.

After Wang Dashan realized this problem, he immediately convened a meeting of village cadres and growers to discuss it.

He said: "Fellow villagers, our walnut products are selling very well, but the supply of walnuts cannot keep up. This is a big problem. If it is not solved well, it will affect the development of our village's industry. Let's think of ways to increase the output of walnuts."

One farmer said: "The mountains, all the land in our village that can grow walnuts has been planted. If we want to increase production, we have to open up new wasteland."

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "Reclaiming wasteland is one solution, but it requires a lot of manpower and time. Moreover, it will take a few years for the newly planted walnut trees to bear fruit. Far water cannot quench near thirst."

Another grower made a suggestion: "Can we buy some walnuts from other places to supplement the raw materials?"

Wang Dashan frowned and said, "Buying walnuts from other places can solve the problem temporarily, but the quality is difficult to guarantee, and the cost will increase. Our products have always been known for their excellent quality. If the quality declines, it will affect our reputation and market share."

Everyone discussed it one after another, but no good solution could be come up with.

At this time, Wang Dashan suddenly came up with an idea: "We can cooperate with the surrounding villages and encourage them to grow walnuts. This will not only increase the output of walnuts, but also drive the development of surrounding villages, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results."

After listening to Wang Dashan's words, everyone thought it was a good idea.

So, Wang Dashan took several village cadres and began to visit the surrounding villages to discuss cooperation matters with their village chiefs.

At the beginning, some village heads were not very interested in this cooperative project. They were worried that growing walnuts was too risky and they didn't know what the market prospects would be.

Wang Dashan patiently introduced to them the development of the walnut industry in Cuigu Village and the specific plan for cooperation.

He said: "After our cooperation, Cuigu Village will be responsible for providing walnut seedlings and planting techniques, and will also purchase your walnuts. This way you don't have to worry about sales and can increase your income. Moreover, if we develop together, we can also form economies of scale and improve our competitiveness in the market."

After Wang Dashan’s repeated persuasion, several village chiefs finally agreed to cooperate.

Wang Dashan organized the village's planting experts to hold a walnut planting technology training class for villagers in surrounding villages, teaching them knowledge about walnut planting, management, and pest and disease control.

With the help of Wang Dashan, the scale of walnut cultivation in the surrounding villages has gradually expanded, and the output of walnuts has also continued to increase.

However, new problems arose.

As the market competition for walnut products becomes increasingly fierce, some unscrupulous businesses, in pursuit of profits, produce and sell counterfeit and shoddy walnut products, which seriously affects the reputation of Cuigu Village's walnut products.

Some customers reported that the walnut products they purchased from Cuigu Village tasted bad and had quality issues.

Wang Dashan was very angry when he learned about this situation.

He said: "These bad merchants are so abominable. Their behavior not only harms the interests of consumers, but also damages the reputation of our village. We must find a way to protect our brand image."

Wang Dashan organized an emergency meeting of the villagers to discuss countermeasures.

He said: "We must strengthen supervision of product quality and strictly control every production link to ensure product quality. At the same time, we must increase brand publicity to let consumers know what real Cuigu Village walnut products are like."

A villager suggested: "We can put anti-counterfeiting labels on the products so that consumers can distinguish the authenticity."

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Let's do it right away. In addition, we can also promote our brand and products through newspapers, radio and other channels to increase our visibility and reputation."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the villagers of Cuigu Village worked together to strengthen the management of product quality and increase brand promotion efforts.

They also set up a rights protection team to report and crack down on counterfeit and shoddy products in the market.

After a period of hard work, the reputation of Cuigu Village's walnut products gradually recovered and market sales also gradually picked up.

With the development of the times, Wang Dashan realized that education is becoming increasingly important to the future development of the village.

He decided to further improve the educational conditions in the village and improve the quality of education.

Wang Dashan ran around and obtained support and funding from some education departments. He built a new teaching building for the village school and purchased more teaching equipment.

He also invited some outstanding teachers to teach in the village, bringing richer knowledge and broader horizons to the children.

Thanks to Wang Dashan's unremitting efforts, Cuigu Village has made remarkable achievements in science and technology-driven agricultural development, industrial expansion, brand building and educational development.

The village has a new look and the villagers are living a happy and fulfilling life.

Wang Dashan stood on a high place in the village, looking at everything in front of him, his heart full of emotion.

He knew that the development of Cui Gu Village was inseparable from the efforts of every villager and the good policies of the Party.

He believes that with everyone's joint efforts, the future of Cuigu Village will be even better.
