When Han Yixian and the others returned in the evening, they saw the gifts on the coffee table in the living room and knew that Yan Qingya had come to thank them.
He Zhenhua asked casually, "Is Dr. Yan's injury healed?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Walking less is fine. She's going to work tomorrow. She's only been in Qianyuan County for a short time and just started working at the county hospital, so it's not good for her to take too long off. It's okay to be careful. She's a doctor herself, so she knows how to protect herself."
Han Yixian said, "You two have gotten quite familiar with each other these past few days."
He Yuhan said, "It's rare to meet a female friend I click with. I get along very well with Qingya. I think she's a nice person and worth getting to know."
Han Yixian also hoped that his wife could make more friends, saying, "Since you like her, then you should get to know her better. You didn't have many female friends before. If Dr. Yan is a good person, then you can be friends with her. If she needs anything in the future, we'll take care of her."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "That's what I think too. It must have been tough for her to come to Qianyuan County all by herself. Although her uncle is here, her aunt doesn't seem to like her very much, so she rented a place to live alone so as not to cause trouble for her uncle's family."
With He Yuhan's positive feedback, the rest of the family also accepted Yan Qingya as a friend.
He Yuhan didn't tell her family about Yan Qingya's unpleasant experiences. After all, those were Yan Qingya's private matters, and rather confidential things, which she wouldn't easily tell others, including her family.
During the meal, Gu Qishen seemed lost in thought, his brows furrowed as he pondered something, clearly indicating that he was facing difficulties.
After finishing their meal, Han Yi looked at Gu Qishen's furrowed brows and asked, "What's wrong? Did something difficult happen?"
He Zhenhua replied to Han Yixian's question, "The overall economy of Qianyuan County is in a bad state right now, and the few factories that are still there are not doing well. As a result, the county's finances are becoming increasingly strained."
To improve Qianyuan County's economy, the first step is to help a few factories turn a profit. The problem is, this is extremely difficult.
Han Yixian said, "Tell us what kind of factories they are, what problems they have, and we'll all help each other think of solutions."
Gu Qishen sighed and said, "Currently, there is a medium-sized textile factory in Qianyuan County. However, due to outdated and severely aging machinery that frequently breaks down, not only has the output of fabric decreased, but the quality has also deteriorated, resulting in more and more defective products, which has greatly affected sales. Defective products can't fetch a good price, and people are unwilling to buy them."
Textile factories are supposed to be revenue-generating businesses, but now they're not making any profits, so naturally there's no tax revenue.
There are also fertilizer plants, which produce low-yield and poor-quality fertilizers, employ many workers, and basically make no profit.
Agricultural machinery parts factories and mold factories are also operating at a loss because of poor product quality and fewer and fewer orders.
The sugar factory and a small daily chemical plant were doing reasonably well, but their small scale resulted in very limited profits. Therefore, Qianyuan County's annual fiscal revenue was very low, while its expenses were high, leading to a severe fiscal deficit and requiring annual government subsidies.
Han Yixian asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Gu Qishen said, "Textile factories definitely need to upgrade their technology and replace some equipment, but all of this requires investment, which is really difficult. Other factories also need to invest, but the problem is that they simply don't have the capacity on their own; they all need government support."
But now, with difficulties everywhere, applying for funding is extremely difficult. As you know, it's not just Qianyuan County applying for funding; there are many, many other organizations. Even if the national funds are allocated, it's very little, a drop in the ocean.
Han Yixian frowned upon hearing Gu Qishen's words and said, "Could the textile factory improve its existing equipment? Equipment can be updated gradually, but updating too much at once will definitely require a large investment, and we certainly won't have enough funds."
Gu Qishen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The textile factory's technicians have tried many methods, but none of them work. Moreover, they can't even figure out where the problem lies. They've also sought outside help, but to no avail."
He Yuhan listened and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Gu, I do know a bit about machinery. How about I go take a look? But I can't guarantee I'll have a solution."
He Yuhan's statement is also a modest one. With her continuous and unremitting efforts in learning, and with the knowledge and technology she will have in the future as a foundation, it is by no means an exaggeration to call her a mechanical expert now.
Gu Qishen was somewhat enlightened after hearing He Yuhan's words. He knew that He Yuhan was very talented in mechanics, and she had already shown her talent in mechanics when she was in City C.
The tractors I designed for the Shuguang Tractor Factory in City C were well-received by many countries, generating significant foreign exchange for the nation. Perhaps He Yuhan really can help. Even if she can't, things won't be worse than they are now.
He quickly said, "It would be great if you could go and take a look, even if there's nothing we can do in the end."
Han Yixian expressed his support when he heard He Yuhan's suggestion, "Then let Yuhan go and see, maybe she will have a solution."
Gu Qishen said, "Then I'll make arrangements. I'll have Yuhan go to the textile factory in a few days."
He Yuhan said, "I'll make some preparations first. As for the other factories you mentioned, Brother Gu, we'll figure out a solution slowly."
The fertilizer equipment factory in L province should already be producing more advanced fertilizer production equipment. We can import new equipment from them to expand the scale of the Qianyuan County fertilizer plant, increase output, and improve product quality. I can help improve the fertilizer plant's process flow first. Increasing output shouldn't be a problem.
