Ye Beiping nodded slightly in response.
In the past few days, Jiang Hai and his colleagues have raised this issue, saying that demand is increasing while the supply from Qiaosi Garment Factory is becoming somewhat tight.
Even if Jin Hai hadn't brought up the issue, he would still have gone to Qiaosi Garment Factory to check on the situation.
If this problem cannot be solved, we will probably have to find a second garment factory to cooperate with. Choosing Qiaosi Garment Factory in the first place could be described as taking advantage of their vulnerability, since they were on the verge of collapse, which allowed him to exploit the situation.
Otherwise, large garment factories wouldn't care about such a small order.
Seeing Ye Beiping nod in agreement, Jin Hai asked appropriately, "Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? I'm afraid it won't be easy for you individual business owners to connect with capable garment factories. Do you need my help?"
These words made Jin Hai feel sophisticated and high-class.
After all, in his view, Ye Beiping was still a nobody, and some of his problems were very difficult to handle.
But he's different. Standing in that position, he can basically solve Ye Beiping's troubles with just a single sentence.
Indeed, when Ye Beiping heard Jin Hai say this, his eyes lit up, but he eventually extinguished that glimmer of light.
Putting aside Jin Hai's request, the help he received from Grandpa Jin Aiguo alone was already more than enough. Always asking for help from others will eventually have to be repaid.
Ye Beiping didn't want to get involved in these political struggles. Wouldn't it be better to just live a peaceful and wealthy life? What if others identified him as part of Jin Hai's faction, and Gao Qian left?
“Secretary Jin, I have indeed encountered some problems in this regard, but they are not difficult and I can handle them on my own. Secretary Jin is very busy, so I won’t trouble you to solve such a small matter.”
Jin Hai was extremely surprised upon hearing this.
Surprisingly, someone refused his help, and it was a young man at that.
It should be noted that his willingness to offer help would be a sure path to success for Ye Beiping in the future.
To put it bluntly, if he were to be known as Jin Hai, who would dare to cause trouble for Ye Beiping?
Even so, Jin Hai was rejected.
"Can it really be solved?" Jin Hai asked again, unwilling to give up.
Ye Beiping nodded even more confidently this time: "It can be solved, it's a minor matter."
This made Jin Hai think more highly of Ye Beiping. He had previously thought that the young man in front of him was only somewhat clever and had some brains when it came to doing business.
I never expected them to have such courage.
He refused to accept the position of Party Secretary without any fear of retaliation.
Just now, Jin Hai tried to win over Ye Beiping, just like the others, but was rejected. He wasn't too angry.
Because his own status was worlds apart from Ye Beiping's.
Since they refused, Jin Hai couldn't say anything.
But I still have some questions that I want answered.
After thinking for a moment, he reconsidered before asking, "In that case, I won't say anything more. But what's your opinion on Hangzhou's current economy? Or do you think Hangzhou is suitable for economic development?"
Jin Hai had already gotten the answer to this question from many experts, but he still wanted to ask Ye Beiping, to see how this young man, who was already a successful businessman, viewed Hangzhou.
Ye Beiping was slightly surprised, but he did not refuse and answered truthfully.
"Secretary Jin, I can only give you my personal opinion on this question. After all, I am not a professional, and professional matters should be handled by professionals."
"It's nothing, we were just chatting today." Jin Hai wasn't surprised that Ye Beiping would say that, which only highlighted the young man's caution.
Among his peers, Jin Hai had never seen such a cautious young man.
Ye Beiping nodded slightly, and after a moment's consideration, he spoke: "Hangzhou currently has a population of about four million, with six main urban districts. In terms of population density, Hangzhou is already one of the top cities in our country. Furthermore, Hangzhou's main industries are light industry, which means there are many factories producing textiles and the like."
"Not bad." Jin Hai nodded slightly. Although his words were a bit rough, they were correct.
These documents had already been written out in his office long ago.
Seeing Jin Hai nod, Ye Beiping gained more confidence and continued:
"In fact, Hangzhou has a very advantageous geographical location in terms of economic development. Putting aside the issue of being near the sea, the rivers and canals surrounding Hangzhou are excellent conditions for saving transportation costs, but Hangzhou does not have a large port."
"You know, once these canals and even the ports along the coast are built, we can save on transportation costs and increase government revenue. In addition, we can transport our light industrial products to the inland areas and sell them better throughout the country, which will greatly help our economic development."
A few words immediately piqued Jin Hai's interest.
These are things that even some economics experts have never said.
Ye Beiping knew that the actual proposal to build a port around Hangzhou was put forward in the late 1980s, meaning that he had proposed it a full ten years earlier than others.
Seeing how interested Jin Hai seemed, he wasn't surprised at all.
River transport has always been the lowest-cost mode of transportation.
"Our province is crisscrossed by rivers, and its reputation as a water town in the Jiangnan region is well-deserved. Once the Hangzhou economy is established, we will be able to boost the economy of the entire province. In particular, Ningcheng Port is not far from Hangzhou. If we use Hangzhou as a warehouse for goods shipped to the whole country, then Ningcheng Port will become a global warehouse, capable of shipping goods all over the world."
