Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Chapter 78 A Long Talk with the Beautiful Reporter

The next second, her eyes lit up: "This is just my personality. Perhaps it is because of this personality that I became a reporter for a daily newspaper after graduation."

“Through my interviews outside, I have also seen many dark sides of society. To put it bluntly, I have never seen a mine owner like you before.”

"After hearing about your story, I was immediately interested and wanted to conduct an in-depth interview about your upbringing and psychological journey. That's why I decided to stay here..."

Hearing the other party speak frankly, Zhang Dong felt that Xia Chunfang was completely different from the tabloid reporters he had known before.

So she opened up and shared her thoughts and emotional journey.

Of course, he didn't tell Xia Chunfang about his rebirth...

“Mr. Zhang, it must have been incredibly difficult for an entrepreneur like you to achieve such success.”

"Putting aside everything else, the various forms of suppression from that unscrupulous mine owner Wang Jianguo that you mentioned are not something an ordinary person could withstand."

"Yet you face such immense pressure, like a tenacious sapling growing stubbornly in a crack in the rock, eventually becoming a towering tree..."

Upon hearing Xia's praise, Zhang Dong quickly waved his hand.

"Oh dear, don't flatter me too much, or I'll get carried away."

"Also, don't call me Boss Zhang anymore, it sounds grating. Just call me Zhang Dong."

“Zhang Dong, okay, then I’ll call you Zhang Dong.” Xia Chunfang said with a charming smile.

"I have another question for you. As a mine owner who has developed under difficult conditions, what do you feel is the biggest obstacle on the road to development?"

When Xia Chunfang asked about this, Zhang Dong spoke eloquently.

He didn't need to think about these things at all.

Because these are the various difficulties he encountered during his development, he can just talk about them without thinking.

"For mining companies like ours that have grown from scratch, the biggest challenge, I feel, is the lack of overall social attention."

"When you encounter difficulties, you have to digest them yourself. No one cares whether you live or die. I feel that this kind of environment is unfair to us farmer entrepreneurs."

"In the process of our development, we should attract attention and support from all sides. After all, our development has created jobs, boosted employment, and brought income to the villagers."

“Take my mine for example, there are nearly a hundred miners now, they are all villagers from the surrounding area.”

“They can earn money close to home, without having to leave their hometowns like before. This is the most beneficial thing for the people.”

"That's why local companies like ours deserve more attention from all sectors of society."

Hearing Zhang Dong speak eloquently, Xia Chunfang's eyes widened in surprise.

She hadn't expected that Zhang Dong, who looked quite young, would point out the most critical issue in the development of private entrepreneurs today.

Society as a whole does indeed lack, or rather, pay far too little, attention to these private enterprises.

"Zhang Dong, based on your current development experience, what do you feel is the biggest challenge?"

Upon hearing Xia Chunfang's question, Zhang Dong smiled and continued.

"Given our current situation and the realities of our mine, my most pressing thought right now is to open a jade carving factory."

"In this way, we can process the raw jade stones produced in the mine more thoroughly, maximizing our profits..."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Xia Chunfang, who was listening intently, suddenly asked a question.

"Oh, my idea is to open a jade carving company like this in our city..."

Zhang Dong did indeed have this idea.

His past life experience told him that jade rough stones mined from their kind should be processed extensively...

"Zhang Dong, your idea is very good. I might be able to help you out next."

"What? You can help me?" Zhang Dong was taken aback.

Xia Chunfang smiled when she saw the surprise on Zhang Dong's face.

"What, you don't believe I have this ability?"

"No, no, it's not that I don't believe you, but I'm curious about your thoughts. How do you plan to help me?"

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Xia Chunfang looked at him intently.

“I think there are two major difficulties if you want to open a jade carving company in the city right now.”

"Firstly, there's the issue of funding. After all, your mine is constantly expanding, which requires continuous investment, so funding is definitely a major problem."

"Another, and most crucial, aspect is technical support. You have no prior experience in this area, so what you lack most right now is strong technical support."

Hearing Xia Chunfang say these words, Zhang Dong was deeply moved.

He felt that the other person's words resonated with him.

Funding is indeed a major issue.

However, with the support of that bank manager Zhao, coupled with his own creditworthiness, getting a loan from the bank manager was no longer a problem.

The reason why Zhang Dong hesitated to start the jade carving company for so long after having the idea was that he felt he lacked the relevant technical personnel.

He understood perfectly well that without the help of technicians, it would be a pipe dream to start such a jade carving company.

"Reporter Xia, what you said is so true, it really hit the nail on the head."

"What we lack right now is strong technical support; otherwise, my jade carving company should have been launched long ago."

While speaking excitedly, Zhang Dong looked at Xia Chunfang in front of him.

Xia Chunfang smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave the technical stuff to me. I'll find a way to solve it for you."

Zhang Dong was a little stunned when he heard Xia Chunfang agree so readily.

He felt that everything before him was unreal, like a dream.

He secretly reached out and pinched his thigh. In his excitement, he pinched too hard, and the intense pain almost made him cry out.

Seeing the unusual expression on her face, Xia Chunfang looked puzzled.

"Zhang Dong, what's going on? Why are you grimacing like that?"

"Ahem, I, I'm just so excited. If you could help me with this, that would be wonderful. It would solve my huge problem."

Zhang Dong was filled with excitement.

I never dreamed that the technical problem that had been giving me a headache would be solved so easily by the beautiful reporter in front of me.

Thinking back to when the other party stayed to conduct an in-depth interview with me, I had declined.

Fortunately, Xia Chunfang insisted on it, which led to this all-night conversation.

This made Zhang Dong sigh with emotion; some things really are just a matter of chance...
