The warmth of her family gave Lin Yue strength, enabling her to maintain a balance between her career and family life, while the wheels of village development rolled ever forward. The agricultural product processing industry was beginning to show promise, but Lin Yue was not content with that. She set her sights further, recognizing the significant role of diversified business development for the village.
At dawn, sunlight bathed the village, illuminating every corner. Lin Yue stood at her doorstep, gazing at the vibrant fields and bustling factories in the distance, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. She knew that a single industry could not guarantee the village's long-term, stable prosperity; it was essential to explore more development paths. "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. For the village to develop better, it needs diversification," she told herself silently, her eyes shining with unwavering determination.
Lin Yue decided to convene a meeting with the village's key members to discuss a plan for business diversification. She went to the village committee, and soon the small office was filled with people. Everyone knew the importance of this meeting, and their faces were serious yet expectant. Lin Yue cleared her throat and began to speak: "Everyone, our village's agricultural product processing industry has already started, but we cannot stop there. We must utilize the village's existing resources to develop more sideline businesses, so that everyone's income will be more stable and their lives more prosperous."
The village's old Party Secretary nodded, his eyes revealing wisdom. "Lin Yue, you're right. Do you have any specific ideas?" Lin Yue glanced around at everyone, then walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and wrote down a few keywords: "agricultural product processing, tourism, handicrafts." She turned to everyone and said, "We can start from these aspects. Our agricultural product processing can continue to expand its product line. In addition to existing processed products, we can try to develop some new specialty products. In addition, our village has beautiful natural scenery and many ancient traditions and cultures, so we can develop rural tourism. Also, we can tap into the potential of handicraft production in the village, which is also a good direction."
The villagers began to discuss animatedly. A-Qiang, a young man from the village, was outgoing and quick-witted. He excitedly said, "Developing tourism is great! The mountains behind our village are incredibly beautiful, and there's that ancient waterfall. If we develop it, it will definitely attract many tourists." Xiao-Fang, a skillful girl standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "Handicrafts are also great. We can carry forward the village's traditional embroidery and weaving skills and make them into unique souvenirs."
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Yue felt very gratified. She smiled and said, "Let's start with a survey to see how similar rural tourism and handicrafts are developing in the surrounding areas, and learn from their experiences." After the meeting, everyone divided up their tasks and began to get started.
Lin Yue and several villagers formed a tourism research team and visited several surrounding villages that had already developed tourism. They arrived at a place called "Taoyuan Village" and were immediately captivated by its beautiful scenery and lively atmosphere. The houses in the village maintained a rustic style, with exquisite murals adorning the walls. The streets were clean and tidy, lined with various food stalls and specialty shops. Lin Yue observed carefully; she saw tourists selecting exquisite ornaments in a traditional handicraft shop, their faces beaming with satisfaction. "Our village can do that too, combining natural scenery with traditional culture," she said to the villagers around her, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
They entered a farmhouse inn, where the owner warmly welcomed them. Lin Yue chatted with the owner, inquiring about their business model and the source of their tourists. The owner smiled and said, "We mainly rely on online promotion and word-of-mouth from tourists. Our specialties are farm-style cuisine and rural experience activities. Tourists can experience planting and picking fruit here, which is very popular." Lin Yue listened attentively, occasionally taking notes of key points in her notebook.
After visiting Taoyuan Village, Lin Yue went to several other places, her notebook filled with various information and ideas. Upon returning to the village, she immediately organized a meeting with the villagers to share her findings. "We want to develop our own unique tourism industry. We can set up some experiential areas in the village, such as allowing tourists to experience planting and picking our crops, and we can also organize some traditional festival celebrations to showcase our culture," Lin Yue said passionately.
To promote the development of handicrafts, Xiaofang led a group of skillful women to try making some samples. They sat together in the village's cultural activity room, discussing design ideas. Xiaofang held up a piece of embroidery cloth, showcasing her design. "We can embroider the village's landscape on it, making handkerchiefs or screens; they'll definitely be beautiful." An older woman looked at Xiaofang's design and smiled, saying, "Xiaofang, your idea is really good. We can also add some traditional auspicious patterns; that would make it even more meaningful." Everyone nodded in agreement and began making the crafts.
In agricultural product processing, Lin Yue and the head of the processing plant worked together to develop new products. They experimented with various agricultural products in the plant's laboratory. Lin Yue picked up a sample of a newly developed jam, tasted it, and frowned. "The flavor isn't strong enough; we need to adjust the formula." The head nodded. "Yes, we'll try increasing the proportion of fruit." They continued to experiment, hoping to develop products that would be more popular in the market.
However, diversifying their business wasn't without its challenges. In preparing to develop tourism, they encountered problems with insufficient funding and infrastructure. Developing tourist attractions required building roads, parking lots, public restrooms, and other facilities, but the village's funds were limited. Lin Yue and the village leaders were deeply troubled. Sitting in the village committee office, Lin Yue frowned, pondering solutions. "We have to find a way to raise funds; we can't let this plan fail," she said to the village head. The village head shook his head helplessly. "Yes, this is a huge problem."
