Hearing this, Director An's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested. "Go on."
If the benefits Su Qingyun mentioned were money or other benefits she would give to the factory, Director An would still be dismissive, but what she meant was that the name of their steel plant could appear in the newspaper, which really made him excited.
After all, the most important things for a factory are efficiency and reputation. If this can be mentioned in the newspaper as the girl said, then it will definitely be a plus point for their factory in the county's factory evaluation this year.
"Are you so sure that you can win the award?" Director An asked.
Su Congjun quickly spoke up for Su Qingyun, "Director An, my sister won first place in the previous competition, so she has a great chance of winning."
Director An looked at Su Qingyun, waiting for her answer.
"No." Su Qingyun smiled lightly, but gave a negative answer. "But this is related to agricultural production. Even if I don't win the award, I am confident that it will be reported in the newspaper. Besides, the factory is just lending me tools. You don't have to pay much for such a possibility. Why not do it?"
Director An fell into deep thought.
Su Qingyun thought about it and added fuel to the fire, "Director An, there is one more thing, have you thought about it?"
"What?"
"Why do the authorities hold this kind of innovation and invention competition? What will happen after the winners are awarded?"
"This..." Director An thought about her question.
"Since this is an invention competition, the awards will definitely not be useless. I can guarantee that the winning entries will be widely promoted. For example, if the seed drill I mentioned wins an award, will it be mass-produced and put into agricultural use?"
"If we want to produce it, what kind of factory will we need?"
Su Qingyun's two consecutive questions made Director An breathe faster. He was not a fool and naturally understood what Su Qingyun meant. Once this kind of seed drill was mass-produced, it would definitely be a job for steel mills like theirs. If it was promoted to their Luoshui County, it would be a big order!
To achieve all these possibilities, they just need to lend out some tools, which is a very profitable business.
To put it simply, Su Qingyun's operation was equivalent to soliciting sponsorship. Although what she said was beneficial to the steel plant, it was all based on the success of the seed drill. Director An was attracted by her description and did not react for a while.
Su Qingyun smiled secretly in his heart. Fortunately, there was no such term as "painting a pie in the sky" in this era.
Director An thought about it carefully and said, "I can raise this matter with the factory, but it still needs approval from above. I can't make the final decision."
"I understand. Thank you, Director An." Su Qingyun nodded without any hurry.
"Well, I'll tell your brother when I have news and let him tell you."
"Okay, thank you Director An. We won't bother you for now."
The brother and sister left the office with smiles on their faces. Director An no longer felt like taking a nap. He stroked his chin and thought about this matter. After a while, he left the office and walked towards the factory office.
To be honest, if Su Qingyun wanted to borrow the tools, Director An could have just raised his hand if she was willing, but because of what she said, he felt it was necessary to report it to the factory.
After hearing what Director An said, Deputy Director Tang, who was in charge of publicity and logistics, frowned and asked, "Did that girl really say that?"
"right."
Deputy Director Tang smiled and said, "What a smart girl."
"Old An, don't you realize that you are being led by her by the nose?"
"Um?"
"Everything that girl said is based on the success of her so-called seed drill. If it doesn't work, then it's all in vain. And the reporter and newspaper agency are also her own words, and their authenticity needs to be verified."
"What?" Director An was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed the case. "So I turned it down?"
"Why refuse? Promise her." Deputy Director Tang said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Who knows, maybe that girl can really do it."
Director An was a little confused for a moment.
"You said that girl is Su Congjun's sister Su Qingyun, right?"
"right."
"Do you know how Su Congjun was arranged to work in our factory?" Deputy Director Tang said.
"I don't know about that." Director An looked at the closed door and asked in a low voice, "Could he be a relative of a leader?"
Although Su Congjun was an apprentice when he came in, the fact that he was assigned to work under Wen Kaifu showed that he was not an ordinary person and must have some background.
