Regarding long in coming, here is a funny detail. The previous manager's attitude wasn't any better, that is, until after years he accepted an invitation to visit us at work. (Invited so that he finally sees what we do and what prospects it has instead of tossing documents away unread.) He was impressed. He was so impressed that within weeks he finally approved our investment plan. Unfortunately, this was again a few weeks before a management change at the behest of the Fidesz government, and the first thing the new management did was to stop all investment.
