Chapter 192: The Battle for Medicinal Materials
Chen Fang raised his head, his face filled with excitement, "Brother Wang, come and have a look! I just finished the survey report. We can finally get accurate data support to help the villagers improve their lives!"
Wang Yi came forward curiously, his eyes sparkling, "Let me see, what exactly does the report say?"
"According to my detailed statistics on each family's crop yields and economic expenditures, we found that -" Chen Fang pointed to the detailed figures on the paper, "almost all farmers have problems with improper fertilization, which directly leads to reduced crop yields."
Wang Yi was immediately shocked. “This discovery is so important! But how can we turn this information into practical help?”
"I plan to hold a village meeting next week to explain the contents of the report to them in detail and introduce scientific methods of fertilization." Chen Fang's eyes were firm, as if she saw hope for the future.
"But... do you think the villagers will be willing to listen to us?" Wang Yi hesitated. "Over the years, they have been used to figuring things out on their own."
"If we can let them see the truth of the data and hear the stories after the improvements, they will definitely be willing to try!" Chen Fang's voice was sonorous and powerful. "People are always full of expectations for change. As long as we open a window for them, they can see a bright future."
The two were discussing intensely when there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the village chief, Li Dawang: "Miss Chen, Brother Wang, are you there?"
"Please come in, Village Chief Li!" Chen Fang responded hurriedly.
Li Dawang pushed the door open, looking a little uneasy. "I heard you were investigating. Is there any good news this morning?"
"Village head, we have some new discoveries." Wang Yi took over the conversation with a serious look, "We analyzed the production data of the village and found that improper fertilization was the main reason."
Li Dawang frowned, "Improper fertilization... I've heard of this, but I don't know how to solve it specifically."
“We plan to hold a village meeting to explain the data in detail and share scientific fertilization methods,” Chen Fang added, her eyes sparkling.
"But the villagers don't like to hear these old talk." Li Dawang hesitated. "How can I get them to participate?"
Wang Yi smiled and said, "If we can provide some effective cases or even demonstrations, the villagers may be willing to try it."
"Yes, that's it!" Chen Fang's eyes sparkled as if she were bathed in spring breeze. "We can invite some farmers who experienced hardships first and then sweetened the cake to tell everyone about their experiences. Their personal experiences are more likely to move people."
"That's a good idea." Li Dawang breathed a sigh of relief. "I will help you contact the villagers and try to get everyone to come."
"That's great. The village chief's support is very important to us," Wang Yi said gratefully.
"But I have a concern." Li Dawang's brows showed a trace of worry again, "What if someone resists because they don't want to accept these new methods? How can we solve it?"
Chen Fang thought for a moment and said seriously: "This problem does exist. We can make full preparations in advance, communicate with villagers who have reservations, understand their concerns, and gradually guide them to accept new ideas."
Li Dawang nodded and said with satisfaction: "It seems that you are really good young people who care about the village. I will fully support your work!"
"Thank you for the trust of the village chief. We will make this conference a success!" Chen Fang's eyes were firm.
As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere in the room gradually became heated, and the seeds of hope were planted in the hearts of the three people. The golden sunlight fell on them, as if it had covered this decision-making process related to the future with a layer of glory.
A burly businessman with a ruddy complexion spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, after much investigation, I found that the price of medicinal materials in the current market fluctuates violently. Not only that, the quality of medicinal materials is also uneven. This will undoubtedly affect our reputation and interests."
Wang Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, high-quality medicinal materials are not only related to efficacy, but also the basis for future transactions. We cannot take this lightly."
Chen Fang glanced around and said seriously, "We must have strict standards to identify the quality of medicinal materials. Each one must undergo rigorous testing to ensure that our customers get the best products."
Another businessman, with a flickering look in his eyes and a look of trepidation on his face, interrupted and said, "But, Miss Fang, the strict testing procedures will greatly increase our costs. If the market price drops, how can we afford it?"
"There are many ways to reduce costs, but never at the expense of quality." Chen Fang said firmly, with a sharp gaze, "We need to build consumers' trust in our brand. Only trust can guarantee our long-term development."
"I agree with Miss Chen. Quality is the foundation of a company," Wang Yi continued. His voice was gentle but powerful. "If we compromise, competitors in the market will definitely take advantage of the situation and take away our customers."
"However, implementing strict testing procedures requires us to hire professional talents. Will this cause double pressure in time and money?" another businessman said helplessly, with a worried look on his face.
Chen Fang smiled slightly, and had an idea in mind. "We can cooperate with local medicinal material experts and conduct regular quality training. This will not only improve our own testing capabilities, but also cultivate a group of people with a keen understanding of quality."
"That's a good suggestion." Wang Yi recalled the village's medicinal herb expert seriously. "I heard that Lao Liu is an expert who knows a lot about medicinal herbs. He may be able to help us."
The atmosphere of the discussion among the businessmen gradually became heated, and some even began to discuss in a low voice how to jointly invest to invite Lao Liu. Just as everyone was busy, a thin young man suddenly broke into the door and said breathlessly: "Sorry, I'm late!"
This young man was an apprentice of the herbal medicine company, named Li Ming. Chen Fang frowned and asked softly, "Mingzi, why did you come just now?"
"I just went to the medicinal field behind the village and found that some medicinal herbs were infected with pests and diseases." Li Ming said anxiously, "If we don't deal with it in time, the losses will be immeasurable!"
"Pests and diseases? We can't take this lightly!" A businessman frowned, "We must find a solution as soon as possible."
"Miss Chen, Brother Wang, we might as well send someone to check immediately, find the source of the disease and take measures." There was a stubborn gleam in Li Ming's eyes.
"Good idea!" Wang Yi slammed the table hard. "We must take action and not let the quality problem spread! Li Ming, take a few people to the medicinal field immediately to check the situation."
"I'll go right away!" Li Ming took the task and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Chen Fang stopped him, "Li Ming, please be careful. If you find that the quality of the medicinal materials is damaged, please inform us immediately and we will work together to find a solution."
"I understand." Li Ming nodded firmly and then left in a hurry.
Back at the teahouse, the atmosphere became tense again, and the discussion continued. The businessmen expressed their opinions and proposed different emergency measures, while Chen Fang and Wang Yi listened quietly and made plans in their hearts.
"It seems that today's meeting will not only discuss the purchase of medicinal materials, but also consider how to deal with emergencies." Wang Yi's tone revealed a hint of deep thought.
"That's right. We can't just focus on the immediate benefits, we also need to have a long-term vision." Chen Fang said gently but firmly, "The quality control of every medicinal material is paving the way for our future success."
