Chapter 939 Difficulties abound
However, just as they were trying to turn the situation around, another piece of bad news came from the village. Some villagers, persuaded by external forces, believed that cooperating with a large enterprise could quickly solve the current predicament, even if it meant giving up some of the control of the industry. These villagers began to stir up emotions and create divisions in the village, forming two opposing factions with the villagers who supported Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei was extremely anxious. He knew that once these villagers reached an agreement with an external enterprise, the village's efforts over the years would go to waste. He visited the deceived villagers door to door and patiently explained to them the interests involved. "Fellow villagers, we can't just look at the immediate benefits and sell our future. This company only wants to use our resources. Once they control everything, we can only be slaughtered by them!"
During this process, Liang Lu also stood silently by Qi Tongwei's side. Seeing her husband regain his spirits and work hard for the future of the village, her resentment gradually dissipated. She took the initiative to help calm the villagers and assist Qi Tongwei in handling some trivial matters. The couple fought side by side again.
After a lot of hard work, Qi Tongwei finally convinced most of the villagers and made them recognize the real purpose of the external enterprises. At the same time, the new sugarcane varieties and processing technologies they developed also achieved results, and the products regained market share, and the village's sugarcane industry gradually got out of the predicament.
After this crisis, Qi Tongwei had a deeper reflection on the problem of game addiction. He realized that although the world in the game is full of temptations, it is only a temporary haven to escape from reality. The real achievement and value lies in creating a better life for the village and the people around him. He decided to quit playing games completely and devote all his energy to the development of the village.
As time goes by, Qingshan Village develops better and better with the joint efforts of Qi Tongwei and all the villagers. New industries continue to emerge, the village's infrastructure is increasingly improved, and the living standards of the villagers have also greatly improved. But Qi Tongwei knows that the road ahead is still full of challenges and disputes over interests will never disappear.
At a villager meeting, Qi Tongwei said with emotion: "Fellow villagers, we have experienced too many difficulties and setbacks along the way. But as long as we unite and stick to our bottom line, nothing can stop us from moving forward. In the future, there will be new problems waiting for us, but I believe that as long as we think in one direction and work together, Qingshan Village will definitely get better and better!"
In this land of hope, Qi Tongwei and the villagers continue to write their own stories. They struggle and move forward in the vortex of interests, and continue to grow and transform in the hardships of reality.
Just after the sugarcane industry crisis, Qingshan Village faced the problem of expanding sales channels for agricultural products. As surrounding villages also developed specialty agriculture, market competition became increasingly fierce. Qi Tongwei realized that it would be difficult for Qingshan Village's agricultural products to gain a foothold in the market by relying solely on the existing few buyers and traditional sales models. He began to frequently go out for inspections to find new sales channels.
Every time he left the village, Qi Tongwei was full of expectations, but he often felt powerless when facing the cruel reality. In the wholesale market of agricultural products in big cities, he saw that the products that he had worked hard to grow and process in his village were drowned in a dazzling array of goods, and the prices were also pushed down to extremely low levels. Those dealers sat in the spacious office, picking and choosing the agricultural products from Qingshan Village and making all kinds of harsh demands. "Your packaging is too simple and can't attract consumers at all. The price has to be lowered, otherwise it will be difficult for us to sell." A dealer said impatiently.
After Qi Tongwei returned to the village, he told the villagers the truth. Everyone was in a heavy mood. After a year of hard work, the results they harvested did not get the due rewards. "Tongwei, what should we do? Are we just going to be slaughtered by others?" an old lady asked anxiously. Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and said, "No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find ways to build our own brand and open up new sales channels."
Therefore, Qi Tongwei led several young people in the village to learn e-commerce knowledge and try to sell agricultural products on the online platform. This is not an easy task. From taking product photos and writing product introductions to processing orders and shipping, every link is full of challenges. Moreover, at the beginning, no one paid attention to their store and there were very few orders.
At the same time, the flower industry in the village also encountered trouble. Due to abnormal climate change, the flowers that used to have a stable flowering period had a chaotic flowering period this year, causing a large number of flowers to miss the best sales opportunity and have to watch them wither. The villagers' hard work for a year was almost in vain, and many people sat in the flower fields and cried silently. "Why is God so blind? All our hard work this year has gone down the drain." A flower farmer cried.
Facing these successive blows, Qi Tongwei felt unprecedented pressure. He often sat alone in the yard in the dead of night, looking at the starry sky and thinking about the future of the village. He was filled with grief and indignation when he thought about how much he had contributed to the village, but still faced so many problems. "Are our efforts really meaningless? Why are there always so many difficulties?" he asked himself.
However, Qi Tongwei was not defeated. He knew that he could not give up, otherwise the village would really have no hope. He picked himself up and organized the villagers to find a solution to the problem. In response to the problem of disordered flowering period of flowers, he contacted agricultural experts, who suggested building greenhouses in the flower fields to control the flowering period of flowers by artificially adjusting environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. This requires a large amount of capital investment, and Qi Tongwei ran around to apply for support funds from the government, and at the same time mobilized the villagers to raise part of the funds themselves.
In terms of e-commerce sales, Qi Tongwei and the young people constantly improved product packaging and promotion methods. They shot beautiful short videos to show the planting and processing process of Qingshan Village's agricultural products, highlighting their green and natural characteristics. After a period of hard work, some consumers finally began to pay attention to their store, and orders gradually increased.
But new problems followed. Excessive logistics costs became a bottleneck restricting the development of e-commerce. As Qingshan Village is located in a remote area, the freight charged by express delivery companies is much higher than other areas, which makes many consumers give up buying because of the high freight costs.
