Chapter 42 Villagers' Assembly (I)

As one of the few remaining fishing villages in Dongling Township, Xu Mingcheng, the village chief of Fulin Island, is also worried about the future of the village. The income from fishing at sea is decreasing year by year, and Xu Mingcheng is worried about the future livelihood of the villagers.

Although Xu Mingcheng also thought about whether the village could be relocated to the city as a whole. But as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that the city does not have this fund at all. What's more, the situation on Fulin Island is somewhat different from other villages.

After all, there is a national-level marine monitoring station on Fulin Island, which must be manned 24 hours a day. Sometimes the staff at the monitoring station are not available, and the village needs to help take care of the equipment so that people do not destroy it.

Even many villagers living in fishing villages do not go to the monitoring station for anything. In the early years, there were still soldiers standing guard at the monitoring station. As the easternmost island, its importance cannot be overstated.

As the head of the fishing village, Xu Mingcheng hopes that the village will become rich as soon as possible, but he cannot find a way to make the villagers rich. Even he, the village head, like other villagers, relies on fishing to support his family's livelihood.

Facing the Xu Haibao brothers and sisters who suddenly visited, Xu Mingcheng also said enthusiastically: "Baowa, Ya girl, why are you here? Your parents will go back to the village for the New Year this year, right? They haven't come back for a while!"

"Uncle Cheng, they won't come back until the factory is on holiday. How's the harvest going?"

"What can I do? I'm glad I don't lose money when I go to sea now!

Regarding Xu Haibao's inquiry, Xu Mingcheng couldn't help but show a wry smile. Even if Xu Mingcheng bought a medium-sized fishing boat in partnership with others, but a large boat does not mean that the harvest is large, on the contrary, the pressure of fishing is greater than that of others.

After all, every time you go out to sea, the cost of oil alone is a lot of money. If there is no harvest or the harvest is too small, many times the oil money will be lost. Because of this, many times going to sea is a gamble.

After sitting down at Xu Mingcheng's house, Xu Haibao also talked about the fact that tourists came to the island to come to the village after the New Year. Hearing this, Xu Mingcheng was also very surprised and said: "Baowa, you said that there are tourists coming to our village to play?"

"Yes! If it weren't for the upcoming New Year, I guess those tourists would want to come here now! I counted the first batch of tourists, there should be more than 30 people. These people are young people who like to travel, and they will probably come after the Lantern Festival.

And judging from the current trend, there are still a lot of tourists who want to visit us. It's just that we are not open to the public for the time being, and it is also a problem for tourists to eat and stay. I'm alone, and I can't be called. ”

After spreading out the matter, Xu Mingcheng immediately said with a happy face: "That's okay! With such a few people, the village will definitely be able to arrange it." If the village can really attract tourists, it will be a lot of income!"

"I think so too! Uncle Cheng should know that I have returned from the army. If I work in a factory, I personally don't like it, and it's hard to find a better job if I don't have any skills. So, I want to stay in the village.

In addition, I met some comrades-in-arms in the army, and their families had some money at home. I'm going to give it a try and see if I can start a tourism promotion on the Internet and invite more tourists to visit our village.

You should know that we have a very nice view here, except that it is a bit far from the mainland. As long as we do a good job in reception and accommodation, I believe that tourists will have fun and will do free publicity for us when they go back.

In this case, in May and June and during the summer vacation, there will definitely be more tourists willing to come to our village to play. I'll take care of the promotion and publicity matters. But in terms of reception, you need Cheng Da Boduo to help!"

"That's a good thing, what do you need me to do, just say. If you need the cooperation of the village, I will arrange it!"

As the head of the village, Xu Mingcheng naturally knows what it means for tourists to visit the village. Sometimes when he went to the town for meetings, Xu Mingcheng often heard the town cadres say that if Dongling can engage in tourism development, then all the surrounding fishing villages will benefit.

Unfortunately, the city currently has limited start-up capital. In this case, only fishing villages adjacent to the interior can be prioritized. It is difficult to develop an island as far away as Fulin Island.

Now Xu Haibao has taken the initiative to help the village attract tourists, and Xu Mingcheng will naturally give his full support. If the villagers can make money and reduce the number of times they go to sea to fish, then he, the village chief, will not be so tired!

Seeing that Xu Mingcheng was so positive, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Uncle Cheng, I believe you should know better than me about the situation here." If the village wants to engage in tourism, it must have some charter, and it is better for the people in the village to support it.

I mean, you are the village chief and have a high prestige in the village, so I can only ask you to explain this. First of all, tourists must stay when they come, and if they want to receive tourists to stay, they must have rooms and bathrooms.

The second is that tourists need to eat and go to sea to play, and it is best to eat at whom's house is the best place to stay. Of course, if someone in the village wants to open a restaurant, that's fine. However, the number of tourists will certainly not be many in a short period of time.

Although I will try to spread the word online and let more tourists know about our Phuc Lam Island. But Uncle Cheng should know that whether tourists come or not depends on their own wishes, and no one can force this.

When tourists arrive in the city, I arrange for someone to take them on the ferry. When they arrive in the town, picking them up from the village requires the village to arrange. As for the associated reception costs, it is best to negotiate with some people and set a standard price.

At least I don't want that kind of tourists coming and we slaughtering people's homes. Whether it's food or accommodation, I want the price to be the same. It would be a different matter if someone invested in the village and built a high-end hotel in the future. ”

The latter words are undoubtedly paving the way for contracting abandoned old villages next year. But in Xu Haibao's opinion, the cost of living in a villager's house is definitely cheaper than living in a well-built hotel. How tourists choose at that time is naturally all voluntary.

Just when Xu Mingcheng thought about it and was about to speak, Xu Haibao continued: "Uncle Cheng, for the sake of safety, and for the sake of not causing any trouble. I hope that the decoration of the room and the bathroom will be completely voluntary, and the whole village will not be mobilized for the time being.

After all, if every household is engaged in decoration, there will be fewer tourists and there will definitely be people who will not be able to receive guests. So, you'd better ask the people in the village for advice on this matter first. However, my third uncle and Uncle Wu are planning to join in the fun. ”

In order to avoid the situation that the whole village is mobilized, but there are not many tourists in the end, and all the rooms are idle, Xu Haibao naturally has to take a preventive shot. First solicit the opinions of the people in the village, and be willing to spend money to decorate your own house first.

Some villagers who have limited family conditions and are unwilling to participate in this matter can wait and see for the time being. After all, if the village wants to engage in tourism development, the whole village needs a process of adaptation.

After listening to Xu Haibao's suggestion, Xu Mingcheng thought for a while and said, "Well, you think about it very reasonably. I'll tell the villagers about this later. If you are willing to participate, then participate, we do not engage in apportionment. ”

"Yes, that's what I mean. As long as the tourism in the village can really be carried out, I believe that every family will make money. Even if you can't receive tourists for a while, when you leave, you will always bring back some of the village's specialties.

Usually, the seafood products that we leave over from fishing and make dry goods can be sold to tourists as special products. In terms of price, I believe that it is more favorable than that of the supermarket, and tourists will definitely be willing to pay to bring some dried seafood back to try!"

After some discussion and discussion, Xu Mingcheng finally decided to convene a villagers' meeting to solicit everyone's opinions first. As the village head, Xu Mingcheng knows very well that this is a very rare opportunity for the village.

If the village can really engage in tourism, Xu Mingcheng can also ask the town and the city for some policies. Not to mention anything else, repair the wharf and road in the village, Xu Mingcheng believes that if you report to the above to apply for funds, it should be approved!

However, the premise is that the tourists who come to the village must continue one after another, so that the town and the city realize that Fulin Island is suitable for island tourism development. If this premise is not met, it is basically impossible for the village to apply for infrastructure funds.

Just after reaching an agreement with Xu Mingcheng, Xu Mingcheng came to the village committee, turned on the radio station and began to announce that the villagers' meeting would be held tonight. Xu Qingya, who came with Xu Haibao, also felt that the radio loudspeaker of the village committee was really strange.

At seven o'clock in the evening, every family will come to the village committee for a meeting. I heard it clearly, the villagers' meeting was held at seven o'clock in the evening, and every adult from every family had to come!"

After the loudspeaker installed in the village was broadcast several times in a row, many villagers who were preparing dinner and resting at home also felt a little curious. After all, if there is no major event, the village rarely holds such a village meeting.

So tonight, what decision will the village chief announce, and what will need to be discussed?
