The old factory manager was silent for a long time before he said, "I understand what you're saying, but it's still against the rules for Hongyun to open his own chemical plant. The vicious competition created by chemical plants is also very harmful."
"Has the old factory director watched the news?" Qin Jie asked.
"Of course." The old factory manager smiled. "I read newspapers, the radio, and TV."
Qin Jie recalled Zhang Xingrong's words: "Does the old factory director know about reform and opening up?"
The old factory director was stunned. This was big news, and he knew about it, but he wasn't sure about the details. After all, there hadn't been any reforms in the provincial capital yet.
"Old Factory Director, perhaps in places we can't see, you've already started to change a little bit..."
Qin Jie explained the policy of reform and opening up, and Zhang Xingrong's speculation. Of course, she wasn't as bold as Zhang Xingrong, but her slightly conservative views still shocked the old factory director.
It took the old factory director a while to digest all this: "What you said is just speculation."
"But Director, read more news from the capital. Don't you think something's different?" Qin Jie said with a smile. "In fact, it's not just the capital. In fact, big changes have taken place in the provincial capital as well. Some people have started secretly selling things on the streets, and the number of people is increasing. The old director knows that more and more people are returning to the city. To survive and to eat, everyone needs to find something to do."
The old factory director pondered for a moment. After he retired due to illness, he had been recuperating, playing chess with his friends and fishing, and he didn't care much about other things.
Of course, he still watched the news, but he rarely went out to see what was happening outside. Of course, he didn't go to those corners either.
So the provincial capital has already started to be like this? He didn't know this.
"It seems I've been closed off for too long." The old factory manager sighed. "Okay, I'll help you this time, but whether it works or not depends on you."
"Thank you, Director!" Qin Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it is not easy to change a person's mind.
Unexpectedly, she was able to convince the old factory manager.
The old factory director smiled and said, "Actually, I've read a lot of news about Hongyun, and I have to say that young comrade Hongyun has indeed brought about subversive changes to the provincial capital."
It has overturned many stubborn people and made many old people who were originally conservative feel threatened.
Qin Jie smiled and said, "Comrade Zhang Xingrong is a very insightful, intelligent, and energetic comrade."
The old factory director laughed and said, "That's true. Her idea for a small workshop helped the provincial capital solve the problem of many idle educated youth. But she also offended a lot of people, didn't she?"
Qin Jie sighed: "So it's not that easy to open a chemical plant now."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning," the old factory manager said with a smile, "If you want to succeed, you have to put in twice as much effort. It's a hard-earned start!"
"The factory director is right!" Qin Jie said with a smile.
The old factory manager was puzzled: "Are you leaving the provincial capital chemical industry just like that?"
Qin Jie nodded: "Yes, I think the Hongyun project is very meaningful. I want to continue it and I want to see it succeed."
"Okay," the old factory manager nodded. "You're still as stubborn as you were when you were young!"
It clearly sounded like a criticism, but there was no criticism in the tone. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation.
After returning from the old factory director's house, Qin Jie has been waiting for news.
