"The vegetable stall owners who used to sell their produce here rarely saw customers in front of the temple. But with the large flow of people, could it be that some customers who didn't originally buy vegetables from them are just stopping by to buy other ingredients?"
"This business is very profitable, and there might be competition from merchants who can think it through. Before finalizing who will take over, could the adults negotiate some terms? For example, could the stall in front of the temple be rent-free for three years?"
"For example, should their family members be given priority for cleaning and other jobs in the farmers' market?"
Deng Zisong's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, his emotions rising.
Seeing this, Ruan Meng continued to make empty promises.
"What I just said about cooking seafood directly is because I plan to build a restaurant that specializes in seafood when I have accumulated enough strength."
"Why can't we sell what others are selling? Besides, we have a fresh approach."
"The adults might say, if we build a seafood restaurant, the village will just supply seafood to the restaurant, so what's the difference between that and supplying seafood to the He Family Restaurant now?"
"Of course there's a difference! He Family Restaurant currently only accepts a fixed selection of seafood such as fish, shrimp, and crab, but if we build a seafood restaurant, we can greatly increase the variety of seafood. As long as the seafood is edible, it can be made into delicious dishes!"
"Secondly, I think that by then, the villagers will not only be suppliers, but will be involved in the business. We haven't achieved that yet, so I won't make any grand pronouncements..."
"If we can turn the seafood business into a temple, where every county has seafood, but we can make it the best in terms of price and taste, wouldn't people from other counties come to eat seafood?"
"When they come, will they only eat seafood? Will they stay overnight and visit the temple, other restaurants, and hotels?"
"Will our Nanxian County be full of vitality then?"
Ruan Meng thought to herself that she should stick to the novel.
How big can the South Island be? It's probably still poor compared to the other side. She wants to expand her business to the other side!
After listening to Ruan Meng's explanation, Deng Zisong breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly understood.
He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth, unable to hide his excitement.
Feng Da was also deeply troubled. If anyone wanted the development of Nandao and Nanxian to be successful, he would definitely be one of them.
He grew up in Nanxian County and witnessed the hardships his family and friends faced. No one wanted more for his relatives and villagers to live a better life than he did.
The village chief's face was solemn. He hadn't expected that the Ruan family girl had such a grand plan in mind!
What is truly admirable is that she always kept other poor people in her heart.
When talking about the future seafood business, he didn't forget the villagers.
"Very well, excellent suggestion! I must hurry back and think it over!"
Deng Zisong leaned down and spoke to Ruan Qian and Ruan Meng.
"If there's anything you don't understand, please enlighten me."
Ruan Meng and Ruan Qian exchanged pleasantries.
"Young Master Ruan, do you have any other insights?"
Ruan Qian's sister has already revealed enough about the topic of collecting rent.
Adding more unnecessary details would only make it seem like empty boasting.
"My sister is right, I agree with her. I just want to point out a few things..."
Deng Zisong sat down and listened attentively.
"If you, sir, adopt your sister's suggestion and renovate the stalls in front of the temple, and if you're worried that the stall fees my sister mentioned might not attract enough shops..."
"Policy support could be implemented, for example, offering rent discounts to the first three years of leasing stalls. Or, the first batch of stall owners could be given priority to add more stalls..."
"As for the rent, the temple may not accept it when you discuss it with the temple abbot. But you have been to the inland and know that when major disasters strike, temples and other religious sites are the main force in disaster relief."
"Whether it's providing aid or undertaking construction projects, creating numerous job opportunities, the role of these initiatives is greater than that of private sector efforts."
"Therefore, in normal times, it is necessary to keep the temple in this 'reservoir' state so that when needed, the temple can help more people."
"Regarding the recruitment of stalls in front of the temple and stalls in the vegetable market, it is recommended to consider them together, even though the directions are different."
"In addition, the construction and entry of the vegetable market should be carried out first, and the stalls in front of the temple should be moved in only after the vegetable stalls have been moved in."
"In this way, we can ensure that poor people who need to buy groceries can do so seamlessly without having to wait at home and reduce their income."
