Chapter 360 New Challenges and New Opportunities in the Tide of the Times

As Cui Gu Village gradually recovered after the drought, various undertakings in the village were back on track.

However, the tide of the times in the 1960s was turbulent, and new challenges and opportunities always came quietly and unexpectedly.

On this day, Wang Dashan arrived at the village walnut processing factory early as usual.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw the workers discussing a newly introduced walnut processing equipment.

Wang Dashan walked up and asked, "What's wrong, guys?"

Lao Zhang, who was in charge of operating the equipment, frowned and said, "Dashan, this new equipment has been breaking down recently. It was just fixed yesterday, but it broke down again today. We don't know what's going on, and this is delaying production."

Wang Dashan carefully checked the equipment but couldn't figure out what was going on.

He comforted everyone and said, "Don't worry, I will contact the equipment manufacturer and ask them to send a technician to take a look."

After returning to the office, Wang Dashan immediately called the equipment manufacturer.

The manufacturer said they would arrange for technicians to come as soon as possible, but due to the long distance, it might take several days.

Wang Dashan put down the phone, feeling a little anxious.

He knew that walnut processing was an important industry in the village, and if the equipment failure was not resolved one day, it would have a great impact on production.

Just when Wang Dashan was worried about the equipment failure, another piece of news came from the village.

It turned out that a new type of walnut oil product had recently appeared on the market. It was cheaper than the walnut oil from Cuigu Village and had been heavily promoted, so it had already captured a lot of market share.

The walnut oil orders in the village began to decrease, which made Wang Dashan feel unprecedented pressure.

Wang Dashan decided to convene a villagers' meeting to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, Wang Dashan said seriously: "Fellow villagers, our village's walnut industry has encountered big troubles. The new equipment has broken down, production has been affected, and low-price competitors have appeared in the market, so our orders are getting fewer and fewer. Let's talk about what we should do?"

After hearing this, the villagers started talking about it.

One villager said, "Dashan, can we also lower our prices to compete with them?"

Wang Dashan shook his head and said, "No, our costs are there. If we lower the price, we will not only not make any money, but may even lose money. We have to think of other ways."

Another villager suggested: "Why don't we also increase publicity efforts to promote the advantages of our walnut oil?"

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "This is a solution, but it is not enough. We have to start with the product itself and improve its quality and competitiveness. I think we can develop some new walnut oil products, such as adding some nutrients, or developing some new packaging forms."

After some discussion, the villagers decided to set up a research and development team, led by Wang Dashan himself, to develop new walnut oil products.

At the same time, the village also organized a publicity team to go to various markets to promote Cui Gu Village's walnut oil products.

Thanks to the efforts of the R&D team and after many experiments, a new walnut oil product was finally developed.

This walnut oil has some special nutrients added to it, which makes it taste better and have higher nutritional value.

Wang Dashan took the new walnut oil product to various markets to promote it.

At the beginning, many merchants were not interested in this new walnut oil product, but Wang Dashan did not give up.

He visited each store one by one and explained the advantages and features of the products to the merchants in detail.

Finally, a purchasing manager of a large supermarket was impressed by Wang Dashan’s sincerity and the quality of his products and decided to try purchasing a batch of Cuigu Village’s new walnut oil products.

Wang Dashan was very happy when he heard the news.

He immediately organized the village's processing plants to work overtime to ensure that the products could be supplied on time.

After the new walnut oil product was launched on the market, it was widely welcomed by consumers.

Orders came in like snowflakes, and the walnut industry in Cui Gu Village regained its vitality.

However, just as the walnut industry was gradually improving, the village's tourism industry encountered problems again.

Recently, some tourists have complained that the village’s tourism projects are too monotonous and lack novelty.

After learning about this situation, Wang Dashan decided to carry out a comprehensive upgrade and renovation of the village's tourism projects.

He called a meeting of village cadres and tourism project leaders to discuss how to upgrade the tourism projects.

Wang Dashan said: "The tourism industry in our village cannot just rely on the old products. We need to keep innovating and launching new tourism projects to attract more tourists. If you have any good ideas, please share them."

One cadre suggested: "We can develop some outdoor adventure projects, such as hiking and rock climbing. Nowadays, people in the city like these exciting sports."

Another person in charge said: "I think we can build some themed homestays so that tourists can experience different rural life."

After listening to these suggestions, Wang Dashan thought they were all very good.

He decided to set up a tourism project upgrading and transformation team to be responsible for the specific implementation work.

During the renovation process, Wang Dashan participated personally and was busy at the construction site every day.

He worked with the workers to move materials, design plans, and ensure that every detail achieved the best results.

After several months of hard work, the village's tourism project was finally upgraded and completed.

The newly launched outdoor adventure projects and themed homestays have been warmly welcomed by tourists, and the village’s tourism revenue has increased significantly.

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cuigu Village has continuously responded to new challenges and seized new opportunities in the tide of the times, moving forward step by step.
