Chapter 376 Zhu Junjie, Full-Time Deputy Secretary

County.

Mooncake factory.

Deng Shirong once again tasted the mooncakes made by several master chefs. He would take a small bite of each flavor of mooncake and rinse his mouth with a sip of tea. Deng Changyu, Deng Changpei and several master chefs who made mooncakes were quietly waiting by the side.

After tasting the mooncakes of several flavors, Deng Shirong said with satisfaction: "These mooncakes of several flavors are good. Have you written down the recipes and processes?"

Deng Changpei happily replied: "Jiu Gong, I wrote them down!"

The master chefs were relieved when they heard this.

They were hired with high salaries, but they could not make mooncakes that satisfied the boss. It is impossible to say that they did not feel a little pressure. Fortunately, after many experiments and adjustments, they finally made mooncakes that satisfied the boss.

Deng Changyu said: "Jiugong, it's less than a month away from August 15th. It's impossible to sell mooncakes this year. So let's make a batch of mooncakes according to the original plan and hold a Mid-Autumn Festival party, just as an advertisement for next year's mooncakes."

Deng Shirong said: "It's really too late to sell them to other places, but if you only want to sell them in the county, you can still give it a try. First produce a batch of mooncakes and take them to my supermarket for trial sales. Anyway, we'll sell as many as we can, and the unsold ones can be used to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival party, so that we can avoid delaying both. ”

Deng Changpei said: "This is a good idea, let's do it."

Deng Changyu said: "Jiugong, how do you plan to organize this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala?"

Deng Shirong said: "Hold it in our Deng's community in Naye. Set up a stage in the square in the center of the community, and then invite the county troupe to perform. The clan members have worked hard during this period. Let everyone come up to rest for a few days, watch the show, and go back to work after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Deng Changyu nodded and said: "Okay, then I will arrange it."

After the mooncake flavor was decided, the mooncake factory began to officially produce mooncakes.

…

Afternoon.

Suifeng Hotel.

Deng Shirong accompanied Mr. Zhang Guangzong to drink.

After the two chatted about everything, Zhang Guangzong said, "Boss, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I may not come to the restaurant."

Deng Shirong was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Uncle Zhang, why don't you come?"

Zhang Guangzong took a sip of wine and explained, "Boss, now the reputation of Suifeng Hotel is well-known in Bobai, especially those who are out in the underworld, they all know that this restaurant is not to be provoked, and no one dares to make trouble. It's time for me to retire!"

Deng Shirong understood his thoughts as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, you are being polite. My restaurant has been peaceful since its opening, and no one has come to harass or make trouble. This is all thanks to you.

Although the restaurant is now famous, you still need to be in charge. You will not go anywhere in this life. As long as your teeth are not lost and as long as you can still drink, you will be there. Just come to the hotel every day and drink until the day you can't move. "

Zhang Guangzong laughed and said, "I come here every day to eat and drink, which will add burden to the hotel!"

Deng Shirong laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, let alone you alone, even if a table of people come here every day to eat and drink, it is not a burden for our Suifeng Hotel, so you can put your heart at ease!"

Zhang Guangzong raised his wine and clinked it with Deng Shirong, saying, "The main thing is that I don't make any contribution, so I'm sorry to eat and drink here for free."

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine and laughed, "Uncle Zhang, your contribution is already great enough. We have been together for so many years. Don't say such polite words anymore in the future."

Zhang Guangzong smiled and responded, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's drink!"

Just as the two were drinking and chatting, Zhu Junjie walked in from the door of the hotel with a happy face.

Deng Yunzhen, who was sitting at the cashier counter, couldn't help but tease, "County Magistrate Zhu, you look so happy, did you find money?"

Zhu Junjie laughed and said, "I'm happier than finding money."

Deng Yunzhen's heart moved when she heard this, and she whispered, "Promoted?"

Zhu Junjie smiled and nodded, then said, "I'll go say hello to Dad."

As he said that, Zhu Junjie walked towards his father-in-law and Grandpa Zhang who were drinking, and said, "Grandpa Zhang, Dad."

Deng Shirong hummed, and Zhang Guangzong smiled and said, "County Magistrate Zhu, sit down and have a drink together?"

Zhu Junjie nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's have a drink."

On the other side, seeing that her husband was really promoted, Deng Yunzhen couldn't sit still, so she stood up from the cashier counter and walked over here.

Deng Shirong and Zhang Guangzong are both experienced people. Even Deng Yunzhen can see the joy on Zhu Junjie's face, and they naturally see it at a glance.

Zhang Guangzong smiled and asked, "County Magistrate Zhu, what good news has happened?"

In front of his elders, Zhu Junjie did not hide anything and said with a smile, "It is indeed a good news. There have been some changes in my position."

At this time, Deng Yunzhen had already sat down next to him and asked impatiently, "What position do you hold now?"

Zhu Junjie smiled and responded, "Full-time deputy secretary."

As soon as this was said, Zhang Guangzong, who knew the value of this position, immediately congratulated him and said, "That's really a great event. I will call you Secretary Zhu from now on."

Deng Shirong also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

Before, Zhu Junjie was just an ordinary deputy county magistrate and was not qualified to join the elders' group.

Now that he has become a full-time deputy secretary, he has not only successfully entered the elders' group, but also formed a three-person decision-making group with the chief and deputy sect leaders, and his status has been greatly improved.

To be honest, this position is more valuable than the executive deputy county magistrate that Deng Yunheng held before.

First of all, in terms of ranking in the elders' group, the full-time deputy secretary is firmly ranked third, only below the secretary and the county magistrate.

Although the executive deputy county magistrate is the second-in-command of the county government team and a member of the elders' group, and has more power than other deputy county magistrates, the ranking of the executive deputy county magistrate in the elders' group is based on the time when he entered the elders' group.

If you join the elders' group later, then you, the executive deputy, can only rank behind other elders' group members.

Unlike the full-time deputy secretary, no matter when he joins the elders' group, he ranks only after the secretary and the county magistrate, and is the undisputed third person.

Moreover, although the executive deputy county magistrate can directly take over the position of county magistrate, only those who are relatively outstanding executive deputy county magistrates can do so, such as Deng Yunheng.

If we follow the normal ranking order, the most qualified person to take over the position of county magistrate is actually the full-time deputy secretary.

It can be said that the full-time deputy secretary is only one step away from the level of director. As long as he is not over the age limit, then his promotion to director can be said to be a sure thing, which is much safer than the executive deputy county magistrate.

After all, there are not many outstanding talents who can be promoted directly to county magistrate like Deng Yunheng.

Deng Yunzhen originally did not know much about the officialdom, and it can even be said that he knew nothing about it. He only knew that the secretary was older than the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was older than the deputy county magistrate, and he knew nothing about the rest.

But after she married Zhu Junjie, her husband was an official, and her younger brother was also an official, so she naturally learned about this aspect, and she was also very clear about the position of a full-time deputy secretary.

Therefore, she was very happy to know that her husband had been promoted to such a key position.

So she got up and walked to the kitchen, and asked the chef to add a few dishes that her husband liked to reward him.

Hearing the praise from his father-in-law, Zhu Junjie smiled and said, "Dad, this is all thanks to you, otherwise I can't get this position."

This is not just talk. The county magistrate played a decisive role in his ability to take this position this time, and he knew whose face the county magistrate was looking at.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You don't have to be modest. As the saying goes, a good ironsmith must be strong himself. If you don't have that ability, the leader won't push you to this position so hastily."

Zhu Junjie smiled. Just as his father-in-law said, the help of the county magistrate is important, but if he is not capable enough to convince the public, people will not force him to go up.

However, on the other hand, there are many people who can take this position. He can occupy this position over other colleagues. His father-in-law's face played a crucial role. He knew this in his heart.

Soon, the chef prepared a few dishes and asked the waiter to bring them up.

Deng Yunzhen was happy and asked Zhang Wenjuan, an old employee who returned the money, to help collect the money. She also sat down to drink and chat with her husband and elders.

After eating and drinking, Deng Shirong told him, "Ajie, don't be proud and complacent. You need to keep working hard."

Zhu Junjie smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, with Yunheng as a role model, there is no room for me to be proud and complacent. I will continue to work hard."

Thinking of his excellent brother-in-law, Zhu Junjie felt a lot of pressure in his heart. From the day his brother-in-law started working, the two were at the same starting line, and then when he was promoted to the deputy director level, his brother-in-law was already one step ahead of him.

Now, his brother-in-law has rushed to the director level like a rocket, and has been a big step ahead of him. After he was surpassed, it is impossible to catch up with his brother-in-law. All he can do is try not to let his brother-in-law leave him too far behind.

Also, next year another excellent brother-in-law will graduate and start working, and it is inevitable that he will catch up with him in the future.

What he can do now is to try his best to run farther and not let this brother-in-law catch up with him early, which would be too embarrassing.

In short, it is both his luck and his misfortune to have these two excellent brothers-in-law.

Fortunately, with two powerful helpers, he will surely be greatly helped in the future.

Unfortunately, Zhu Junjie's family status in this life is clear at a glance.

Fortunately, his wife is not the kind of willful and capricious woman, but a considerate and good woman, which is the most gratifying thing.

...

A week later.

The first batch of mooncakes from the mooncake factory was produced.

As soon as possible, the factory sent people to transport the mooncakes to Yongjia Supermarket for sale.

Yongjia Supermarket had been instructed to give up the most prominent position for recommending products in the supermarket and put the mooncakes of the mooncake factory - Deng Jiayue.

Deng Jiayue, this is the name given to the mooncake by Deng Shirong.

In later generations, Huang Jiayue in Guangxi was also a famous mooncake, so Deng Shirong borrowed this name and named it Deng Jiayue.

Deng Jiayue has different grades of mooncakes. The most common mooncakes are the ones wrapped in the simplest oil paper, and the price is naturally the cheapest.

Mid-priced mooncakes are packaged in special paper boxes.

For high-end mooncakes, Deng Shirong borrowed the packaging of those mooncakes in later generations, which is called high-end.

Three grades of mooncakes can meet the needs of different customers.

Regardless of the grade of mooncakes, the taste is not bad.

Although mooncakes, in later generations, have a brand + packaging > taste, many people choose mooncakes with big reputation and beautiful packaging as gifts. As for whether the taste is good or not, neither the gift giver nor the gift recipient cares too much, as long as it looks good on the surface.

But Deng Shirong has a different idea. While paying attention to packaging, he also pays great attention to taste. His goal is to make the brand, packaging, and taste top-notch, so that those who give and receive gifts know that Deng Jiayue is not only high-end and classy, ​​but also the best in taste among similar mooncakes.

As long as this policy is adhered to and the business is run for more than ten or twenty years, when customers mention mooncakes, they will probably think of Deng Jiayue first, and then the mooncakes will be considered a success.

Before the mooncakes were put on sale in Yongjia Supermarket, Deng Yunzhen had already sent mooncakes to several wives of status in the county in advance.

Gift-giving is a kind of interpersonal relationship in our country. In this regard, Deng Shirong does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. As long as the gifts sent do not meet the standards of corruption and bribery, they can be sent at will.

…

That morning, after exercising, He Lanying prepared to go to Yongjia Supermarket to buy two packs of instant noodles.

When she arrived at Yongjia Supermarket and saw the crowds of people in the supermarket, He Lanying couldn't help but sigh. The business of this supermarket is really good!

To this day, He Lanying can still clearly remember the scene of her first visit to Yongjia Supermarket. At that time, she came out to exercise. When she passed by here, she happened to see Yongjia Supermarket opening, so she curiously planned to go in and take a look.

With just this one glance, she has an indissoluble bond with Yongjia Supermarket.

At that time, before she entered the supermarket, she just planned to buy a bunch of noodles to take back.

But after entering the supermarket, she discovered Xintiandi. The shopping experience was really great. She felt that she had to buy this and that. In the end, the shopping basket was full, and the money she spent was far beyond her plan.

Since then, He Lanying has become a loyal customer of Yongjia Supermarket. Even if she only wants to buy a needle, she will come here to buy it.

After entering the supermarket, what caught her eye was the dazzling array of moon cakes.

These mooncakes stunned He Lanying.

Those mooncakes wrapped in oil paper and soft paper boxes are nothing. At most, the patterns look a little prettier than other mooncakes, but they are not amazing.

However, the other two mooncakes look really amazing.

One of the mooncakes is the most high-end iron or aluminum box mooncake of this era. The pattern on the box is extremely exquisite and looks expensive.

Another mooncake is packaged in a square cardboard box that is larger than a whole grid of tofu. The pattern on this cardboard box is really beautiful. He Lanying has never seen such a beautiful mooncake pattern.

In this cardboard box, there are mooncakes that have been opened and placed there. It can be seen that the mooncakes inside are wrapped in plastic and transparent vacuum packaging is used. The mooncakes can be clearly presented to customers.

The inside of the box is noble bright yellow, which looks high-end.

He Lanying had the urge to buy it after seeing it, and then she looked at the price on the mooncake.

Among them, the mooncakes packaged in oil paper and soft paper boxes are about one-fourth more expensive than other mooncakes on the market.

The mooncakes packaged in iron boxes or aluminum boxes are about one-third more expensive than similar mooncakes.

The mooncakes packaged in hard paper boxes are the most expensive. There are one-jin, two-jin, three-jin and five-jin packages. He Lanying just took a look at the price and couldn't help shaking her head. She really couldn't bear such a high consumption.

In the end, He Lanying hesitated again and again and chose a mooncake packaged in an iron box or aluminum box.

After eating this mooncake, the box can also be used to pack eggs or other things, which is still very useful.

Many customers who entered the supermarket had the same idea as He Lanying. Those with decent economic conditions chose mooncakes packaged in aluminum boxes, while those who could not afford it chose mooncakes packaged in soft boxes or oil paper. As for the most high-end mooncake, many people looked at it, but almost no one bought it.

This is actually normal. Deng Shirong positioned this product as a gift, not for ordinary customers to buy and eat at home.

As long as the quality of this mooncake is created, there will be no worries about sales in the future.

Because in the coming 1990s, more and more people will give mooncakes as gifts, which has spawned many luxury mooncakes.

For example, a mooncake gift box in Changchun that costs more than 1,800 yuan contains a pair of golf clubs; a mooncake gift box in Kunming that costs more than 310,000 yuan contains a digital camera, Wuliangye, Parker gold pen, tea, etc., and even comes with a house of more than 100 square meters.

There is no need to say more about the purpose of the appearance of these mooncakes, and those who understand will understand.

Even some "smart" manufacturers have turned mooncakes into futures:

A mooncake voucher with a face value of 100 yuan, after being circulated at a discount among distributors, consumers, scalpers and other parties, was finally recovered by the manufacturer at a price of 50 yuan.

The whole process did not produce mooncakes, but they could make a fortune. The specific process is as follows:

Deng Shirong naturally did not intend to do these crooked ways. The high-end mooncakes of their mooncake factory took the route of brand + packaging + taste to earn the money they deserved. As for those mooncakes that facilitate corruption, they would not make them.

…

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Monday.

Bobai County welcomed several special guests. These special guests came from Shuicheng County, Guizhou. They were the county magistrate, the director of the county people's congress, the leaders of the county political consultative conference, etc. They came to Bobai County for a visit and inspection.

After consultation between the leaders of the two counties, in line with the principle of "complementing each other's strengths, enhancing friendship, promoting cooperation, mutual benefit, common development, and long-term cooperation", an agreement on Bobai County and Shuicheng County becoming friendly counties was signed on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.

In the future, Bobai and Shuicheng will organize exchanges and cooperation in the fields of cadres, enterprises, talents, technology, tourism, etc. in the three aspects of conducting friendship visits, strengthening economic and trade cooperation, and deepening comprehensive cooperation, so as to improve the level of cooperation and maintain contact and communication.

After signing the agreement to establish a friendly county, the leaders of Shuicheng County began to return home the next day.

Then, Bobai County sent some local specialties to these leaders.

In addition to longan meat, each of them also received two boxes of high-end Dengjiayue mooncakes.

As a newly established Dengjiayue, it can be given as a local specialty by the leaders to other county leaders, which is also a kind of affirmation of Dengjiayue mooncakes.

…

Soon, there were only two days left until August 15.

Deng Shirong returned to the village and mobilized the clansmen to go to Naye Deng's Community in the county to celebrate the festival. First, they could watch the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, second, they could advertise the new mooncakes launched by the food company, and third, everyone had worked so hard for so long, it was time to rest and relax.

So, most of the clansmen went to Naye Community in the county to celebrate the festival, and only some old people, children and women stayed.

There is no other way. Someone has to feed the pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks at home, and someone has to graze the cows. It is definitely unrealistic to move them all to the county town.

Deng Shirong didn't care about this. He only needed to transfer most of the tribesmen away. The small number of tribesmen who stayed would not affect his ginkgo planting plan.

On the first night after most of the tribesmen arrived in the county town, Deng Shirong used the night time to quietly plant three ginkgo trees.

This village road of more than 3,000 meters, of which nearly 2,000 meters belong to township roads. In this nearly 2,000-meter township road, there is a section of the road that is some distance away from the settlements of each village. These three ginkgo trees were planted on this section of the road.

Even if some tribesmen or people passing by saw it the next day, they would not doubt anything.

After all, there are only three trees, what is there to doubt?

After thinking for a while, Deng Shirong has thought of a more reliable way to plant ginkgo trees.

Now he will plant a few trees quietly. After a few days, he will find an opportunity to move more than a dozen ginkgo trees to the roadside. When the tribesmen come back, he can let them plant the trees by themselves. He only needs to find an excuse that they are in a hurry and unload the goods in the middle of the night and leave. In this way, he can get away with it.

Anyway, Deng Shirong also informed his family and tribesmen in advance that he would stay in his hometown to receive the landscape trees in the next few days.

When the time comes, the tribesmen will not be surprised to see the ginkgo trees that have been planted and placed on the roadside.

So, he transplanted 3 trees every night, and released 15 ginkgo trees directly on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to release more, but he thinks he should be low-key. It doesn’t matter if he spends more time. The most important thing is not to arouse anyone’s suspicion.
