Chapter 384: Overcoming difficulties together and achieving great goals
Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cui Gu Village is thriving thanks to rural tourism, agricultural product sales and the emerging handicraft industry.
However, behind this seemingly prosperous situation, some potential problems have gradually surfaced.
Early that morning, Wang Dashan got up early as usual and prepared to walk around the village.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, and heard bursts of quarrels.
Wang Dashan's heart tightened and he quickly walked over.
It turned out that several young people in the village had an argument with a tourist.
The tourist was holding a newly bought bamboo handicraft and said loudly: "The quality of this product is too poor. I just held it for a while and the bamboo strip broke. Aren't you cheating me?"
One of the young villagers blushed and explained anxiously: "It's impossible. It was fine when we did it. You must have broken it by accident."
Wang Dashan saw this and quickly stepped forward to separate the two parties and calmed the tourists down: "Comrade, I'm really sorry for giving you a bad experience. Please calm down first. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
Then he turned to the young villagers and said, "Stop arguing, talk it over."
Wang Dashan invited the tourists to the side and carefully examined the damaged bamboo handicrafts, and found that a bamboo strip was indeed broken.
He sincerely said to the tourist: "Comrade, we didn't do our job well. We will return the handicraft to you and give you a small gift to express our apology. We in Cuigu Village have always attached great importance to reputation. We don't want to see such problems."
Seeing Wang Dashan's sincere attitude, the tourist calmed down a lot and said, "Actually, I like the things you have here, but the quality issue makes me feel uncomfortable."
Wang Dashan nodded: "You are right, we will definitely strengthen quality control. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to give us your suggestions, we will definitely improve them."
After solving the tourists' problems, Wang Dashan fell into deep thought.
He realized that as the handicraft industry expanded, quality control became increasingly important.
If this problem is not solved in time, it is likely to affect the development of the entire industry.
Wang Dashan immediately called a meeting of the members of the handicraft production team.
Everyone sat together and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Wang Dashan told everyone what happened in the morning, and then said seriously: "Fellow villagers, it is a good thing that our handicrafts are popular with everyone. But quality is our lifeline. If there is a problem with quality, our industry that we have worked so hard to build will be ruined."
Uncle Liu sighed and said, "Dashan, I also know that quality is important. But now there are more and more orders, and everyone is in a hurry to complete the work, so it is inevitable that some carelessness will occur."
A young woodcarver also said: "Yes, sometimes in order to make more, I am not so careful."
Wang Dashan thought for a while and said, "I think we need to formulate a set of strict quality standards. Every handicraft must be inspected before it leaves the factory. In addition, we can further refine the production process, with each person responsible for a link. This will not only improve efficiency but also ensure quality."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
So, under the leadership of Wang Dashan, everyone discussed and formulated detailed quality standards and production processes.
In order to ensure the strict implementation of quality standards, Wang Dashan also arranged a special person to be responsible for quality inspection.
Every day, the finished handicrafts are carefully inspected. Only qualified ones can be sold, while unqualified ones are reworked or scrapped.
In addition to quality issues, Cuigu Village faces another challenge - market competition.
As the handicrafts of Cuigu Village became more and more well-known, some surrounding villages began to follow suit and produce similar handicrafts.
This makes market competition increasingly fierce.
Wang Dashan knows very well that if he wants to remain invincible in the competition, he must continue to innovate.
He decided to organize a handicraft innovation competition to encourage villagers to use their creativity to design more distinctive handicrafts.
At the mobilization meeting for the competition, Wang Dashan said to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, the market competition is becoming more and more fierce now. We can't always rely on our old achievements. This competition is to encourage everyone to use their intelligence and wisdom to design more attractive handicrafts. Whether it is in terms of shape, function or material, you can be bold in innovation."
A young embroidery girl said excitedly: "Uncle Dashan, I have always wanted to try to incorporate some modern elements into embroidery, and this time I finally have the opportunity."
An old man who is good at weaving also said: "I am also thinking about whether I can use some new materials to make the weaving more durable and better looking."
Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Okay, everyone should be brave enough to try. As long as it is a good idea, we will support it."
After the competition started, the villagers actively participated in the creation.
They consulted materials, communicated with each other, and constantly tried new designs and techniques.
After a period of hard work, one piece after another of exquisite and innovative handicrafts are presented to everyone.
There are wood carvings that combine modern minimalist style, embroidered handkerchiefs with fashionable patterns, and bamboo lamps made from new environmentally friendly materials... Wang Dashan feels very pleased when he looks at these creative works.
He selected some excellent works and brought them to the city to participate in a handicraft fair.
At the trade fair, Cui Gu Village's innovative handicrafts attracted the attention of many merchants and consumers.
Orders came in like snowflakes, and Cui Gu Village's handicraft industry ushered in a new peak of development.
However, just as everything in Cui Gu Village was booming, a natural disaster suddenly struck.
Continuous heavy rains triggered landslides, some roads and farmland in the village were washed away, and the soilless cultivation base was also seriously affected.
After Wang Dashan learned the news, he immediately organized the villagers to carry out rescue and relief work.
He stood in the rain and gave orders loudly: "Don't panic, first rescue the trapped villagers, and then quickly repair the roads and farmland."
The villagers responded one after another and joined the rescue and relief efforts in the heavy rain.
Everyone worked together to block the landslide with sandbags and clear the damaged roads and farmland.
Uncle Liu is old, and Wang Dashan asked him to rest on the side, but Uncle Liu refused: "Dashan, although I am old, I can still help. We are a family in Cuigu Village. Now the village is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"
With everyone's joint efforts, the trapped villagers were rescued safely, and the roads and farmlands were repaired in the shortest time possible.
The staff at the soilless cultivation base guards it day and night and takes various measures to protect the crops inside.
Although this natural disaster brought huge losses to Cui Gu Village, it also made Wang Dashan and the villagers more deeply aware of the power of unity.
In the face of difficulties, everyone did not retreat, but worked together to overcome the difficulties.
After this disaster, Wang Dashan began to think about how to improve Cuigu Village’s disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities.
He applied for financial support from the higher-level government and organized villagers to build a drainage system and strengthen the mountain protection facilities.
At the same time, Wang Dashan also led the villagers to carry out agricultural insurance work, purchased insurance for the village's agricultural production and handicraft industries, and reduced the risks that might be faced in the future.
Thanks to Wang Dashan's efforts, Cuigu Village gradually emerged from the shadow of the disaster, and all undertakings have regained their former vitality.
Looking at the busy and hopeful scene in the village, Wang Dashan knows that Cuigu Village still has a long way to go in the future, but as long as everyone unites as one, no difficulties can stop them from moving forward.
