413 Another Wedding Invitation For
the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, Su Taotao made a simple upgrade.
She asked Fu Yuanhang to redesign a festival-limited outer packaging, including the moon, the Toad Palace, osmanthus, and the backs of the three children Chenchen, Dongdong, and Pangpang looking up at the moon.
Fu Yuanhang's design talent far exceeded Su Taotao's expectations.
Su Taotao has a good relationship with the printing factory, and the price is not raised every time the outer packaging is changed. Moreover, Su Taotao always barters. They are very proud to receive such a gift during the New Year.
Under the condition that the price difference is not big, one is a gray earthen paper packaging, and the other is a creative collection-level art packaging. Even a fool knows which one they like more.
Moreover, the coconut candy of Su Taotao has always been in short supply. In the past, when friends and relatives met, they might greet each other by saying "Have you eaten?" Now, it has become "Is your factory's festival gift coconut candy?" or "Do you have a coconut candy packaging bag? My son wants it."
In short, after this batch of Mid-Autumn Festival candies was distributed, a packaging bag caused such a big response, which was beyond Su Taotao's expectations.
But it is understandable, just like stamp collecting. Children have too little entertainment these days, and a packaging bag with beautiful patterns is indeed a very precious thing for them.
When the second phase of the project is fully put into production next year, Su Taotao also plans to launch coconut mooncakes according to local conditions. There are very few mooncakes to choose from these days.
The common flavors are only five-nut and red bean paste. She knew without even thinking about it what kind of sensation the coconut mooncake would cause if it was launched.
Su Taotao had already made plans in advance and was going to design more mooncake molds, not just round ones, hoping that the people who received the mooncakes would have unexpected surprises.
Su Taotao knew that after the rapid development of reform and opening up, mechanized food was everywhere, but the number of companies that insisted on traditional handmade products was decreasing, and in the 21st century, they were even rarer.
But those time-honored brands that insisted on handmade products and had already won a reputation among the people have also remained standing.
Su Taotao also had the idea of following the trend and entering the mechanization process earlier than others, but now she felt that retaining some of the handmade craftsmanship and persisting for decades was also the sentiment of some people, and became a time-honored brand that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Su Taotao wrote several pages of paper. The more she sorted out her thoughts, the clearer they became.
She stopped writing when Zhang Jingan knocked on the door.
"Secretary Zhang, is there anything I can help you with?" Su Taotao asked in a businesslike manner.
Zhang Jing'an pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down: "It's like this, the efficiency of our factory has been in a state of steady and continuous growth. The superiors are very satisfied and plan to hold an experience seminar so that we can share some successful experiences. I hope that everyone can make progress together."
Su Taotao put down the pen in her hand, smiled, shook her head and said: "I can't share."
Zhang Jing'an: "Why?"
Su Taotao: "As far as I know, we are the only factory that makes coconut candy or coconut products. Maybe some factories are already preparing and ready to enter the market to share a piece of the pie, but they haven't started yet.
A large part of our so-called success is because our county is rich in coconuts. We produce coconut candy according to local conditions. At present, we are the only one in the country that produces coconut candy. The production of coconut sugar will lead to such a situation of supply exceeding demand.
When other factories are established, this situation is likely to be broken, so what does the leader want me to share? "
Zhang Jing'an naturally knew this, and he said: "Apart from the product, your management experience is also worth sharing. Raw materials are important, but it is not the only factor to achieve such results.
It is not a bad thing for you to show up and share your experience. It will be of great help to opening a factory and your personal popularity. "
Su Taotao still shook her head: "I don't have extra time to do these things. If Secretary Zhang thinks it is necessary, please share on my behalf, and I won't go."
Zhang Jing'an knows Su Taotao, and this answer is actually within his expectations.
Since that was the case, Zhang Jing'an had nothing to say. He pulled out his chair and stood up: "I have conveyed the leader's meaning. Since you don't plan to go, I will help you reject it. Do you have a plan for next year?"
Su Taotao pointed to the notebook on the table: "I have a plan. I will discuss it with you after I finish writing it."
Zhang Jing'an nodded: "Okay, I will follow up on political and ideological education after I finish this period of work. In addition, the effect of the blindness-eliminating class is good. I plan to open an advanced class to systematically supplement basic knowledge."
The blindness-eliminating class is not mandatory, but the workers in the factory all live in dormitories and have no families to support. They are happy to go to class in their spare time.
There is no academic requirement for general workers, but if you want to transfer to an office, there is still an academic requirement.
Su Taotao nodded: "Do as you say, just make the arrangements."
After Zhang Jing'an finished his instructions, he turned and went out.
Su Taotao stared at his back for a while.
This way of getting along without interfering with each other is just right.
Anyway, she probably won't stay here for too long. There are still three years before the resumption of the college entrance examination. After the busy period at the end of the year, she should almost enter the review state.
It should be said that she has almost forgotten the high school knowledge. It is not easy to pick it up. She has to plan ahead.
After thinking about these things, Su Taotao's work efficiency in the afternoon is higher. When it is time to get off work, she packs up and goes home on time.
Su Taotao is eager to go home, wondering if Chenchen has a good time today.
As a result, before entering the house, she heard Chenchen's laughter.
As soon as the door was opened, the child came running over and hugged her thighs: "Mom, you're back so early. Is it hard to work?"
Su Taotao bent down, picked up the child, and kissed his little face: "Not hard. Is Chenchen happy today?"
Chenchen nodded: "I'm happy. Fatty daddy brought us glutinous rice sticks. They're delicious!"
"Yes," Chenchen pointed at Zhou Zheng, "Uncle Zhou is getting married too. He sent us an invitation!"
Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zheng: "Congratulations, why didn't you let Zhengtu bring it back? Why bother you to come in person."
Zhou Zheng grinned: "I took a special leave to send invitations to everyone. This shows my sincerity. You must come then."
Su Taotao nodded: "Of course."
"By the way, sister-in-law, can I order some wedding candy from your factory? The same candy that Mo Jiazhe used for his wedding last time."
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, tell me the number, I'll take it all, just consider it as the wedding gift from Zhengtu and I to you."
Su Taotao really thinks that being the director of this sugar factory is good, at least she doesn't have to think about giving any wedding gifts.
Zhou Zheng shook his head quickly: "No, no, Zhengtu has already given the wedding gift, just give me a favor, I will pay the money, otherwise I really don't dare to ask you for it."
Su Taotao didn't force it: "Okay, the production task after the Mid-Autumn Festival is not heavy, you tell me the quantity, but you have to pay according to the market price."
Su Taotao treated everyone equally, except for the factory employees who had a family celebration and could buy sugar at the cost price, all others had to pay according to the market price to prevent anyone from breaking the rules.
Zhou Zheng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Su Taotao: "I know that the sugar from the sugar factory is a hard currency that is in short supply. I am already very grateful for your convenience."
Su Taotao took the paper and found that the quantity exceeded the usual wedding banquet. She asked casually: "Is it so much?"
No wonder she was not allowed to send it. This amount was not enough for her to buy with a month's salary.
Zhou Zheng was a little embarrassed: "My grandfather has quite a lot of relatives. He boasted that the wedding candy was coconut candy produced by our unit's affiliated factory. Many distant relatives came to congratulate him and asked to eat the wedding candy. I had to prepare more as souvenirs.
Would it be too difficult for me to take so much? If it was too difficult..."
Su Taotao shook her head: "Of course not. We opened the door to do business. It doesn't matter who we sell to."
They were all sold at market price. It was not that we couldn't produce this little candy.
Zhou Zheng nodded: "That's good, that's good. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to Mr. Mo's house to deliver the wedding invitations."
Zhou Linglan came out of the kitchen: "Xiao Zhou, I'll cook for you. Remember to come back for a quick meal after delivering the wedding invitations."
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Auntie. I have a lot of wedding invitations here. I'm afraid I can't catch up. Maybe next time."
Zhou Linglan: "You have to eat."
Zhou Zheng said: "I've eaten to fill my stomach. You don't have to save any food for me. You guys eat more."
Zhou Zheng left after saying that.
Zhou Linglan: "Hey, this kid..."
"I haven't heard that he's dating anyone, so how come he's married? Taotao, have you met Zhou Zheng's partner?" Zhou Linglan asked.
Su Taotao put down the dust, patted his little head and let him play by himself.
Su Taotao glanced at the name on the invitation and shook her head: "I haven't seen it, but I heard Fu Zhengtu mention it, but I don't know if it's the one he mentioned."
Zhou Linglan: "Zhou Zheng is older than Zhengtu, and it's time for him to get married, which is good."
Su Taotao smiled and said nothing. If it's the one Fu Zhengtu mentioned, I'm afraid he must have gone through a lot to get to this point.
