Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

Half an hour later.

Jiang Chen drove the car with two beautiful women to Houliu Town in the neighboring county.

This place is already outside the boundaries of Jiangcheng.

Because Jiangcheng has very strict regulations on fireworks and firecrackers, there are very few people selling them, and the prices are very high.

Although Houliu Town is adjacent to Jiangcheng, it does not belong to Jiangcheng, so the management of fireworks and firecrackers is not strict. During the Spring Festival, the whole street in the town is lined with shops selling fireworks and firecrackers.

To boost sales, the price is naturally lower.

Although the five million was given to me for free by the system.

But save money where you can.

Why let unscrupulous merchants profit when you can buy more fireworks for the same price?

As soon as Sun Mengjia got out of the car, she exclaimed excitedly, "Old man, I want that peacock spreading its tail feathers, and that firework!"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, no, no, these are too cheap. You don't know, the more fireworks and firecrackers you buy for the New Year here, the more lively the celebration, the more money you'll make this year."

"So, if we're going to buy one, we'll buy a big one. At least one that big."

Sun Mengjia looked in the direction Jiang Chen was pointing, and when she saw the giant firework as tall as a person, she was completely stunned.

Such huge fireworks?

One of them must cost several hundred or even a thousand, right?

Are you setting off fireworks, or are you planning to attack Ping'an County?

However, Jiang Chen bypassed the vendors at the town entrance and went straight to the entrance of the largest fireworks wholesale store in town.

After all, he was going to buy five million worth of fireworks, not five hundred.

Those street vendors simply couldn't eat it all.

The store is very large, and the entrance is piled with colorful cardboard boxes.

As soon as the three got off the bus, Sun Mengjia, with her sharp eyes, spotted a bundle of Gatling guns displayed in the most conspicuous spot.

"Old man, Gatling gun!" Sun Mengjia excitedly picked it up and gestured towards the sky.

"These fireworks have become a viral sensation in the last couple of years. I've seen a lot of energetic young men on Douyin (TikTok) playing with them; the popping sounds are so exciting. I want to buy one."

However, Jiang Chen glanced at the price and shook his head: "No, it's too cheap."

"Huh?" Sun Mengjia was stunned.

"This is cheap? This thing just makes a noise, what kind of magic does it produce?"

Just then, the shop owner, wearing a military overcoat, came out. Upon hearing this, he immediately chuckled: "Handsome, you know your stuff. The one you're holding, the beaded cartridge, is no fun. If you really want to play with a Gatling gun, you need this."

The shopkeeper brought out a larger, thicker, and more elaborately packaged "Blue Flame Gatling Gun" from inside the shop: "This is the new model this year, with super long battery life, longer range, and it can even change color. It's just a bit pricey, one hundred yuan a gun."

Jiang Chen held it in his hand and weighed it; the weight was indeed different.

"Boss, could we try putting one out to see how it goes?"

"Sure, if you buy a lot, I'll give you one for free." The shop owner was a straightforward person and lit it with a lighter.

It instantly attracted a lot of people to come and watch.

In fact, fireworks are very profitable.

Moreover, he placed that Gatling gun there to attract business.

After all, fireworks are something you can touch but not see.

You think it's beautiful just because you say so?

Therefore, many stalls will test a few star products to verify their effectiveness.

Brilliant fireworks shot out from the cannon barrel.

It lasted for a full three minutes before Jiang Chen finally stopped, growing impatient.

To be honest, Jiang Chen was genuinely moved.

When he was a child, besides ordinary firecrackers, he would at most set off some kind of sky rocket or a small handheld firework shell, and he could only set off a couple of times in total.

This thing doesn't look very big, but the fireworks it produces are so beautiful, and they can last for a full three minutes. If I had one of these when I was a kid, I would have loved to run from one end of the village to the other.

Let everyone see.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'll take this one."

The shopkeeper asked with a smile, "How many do you want, handsome? I'll give you ten for nine hundred."

Jiang Chen glanced at Sun Mengjia, who was still excited, and said calmly, "Since you like them so much, let's start with a thousand."

"Clatter!"

The boss's smile froze instantly.

He suspected his ears were frostbitten, and rubbed them: "How much?"

"A thousand," Jiang Chen repeated. "What, you don't have that many?"

The boss's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Handsome, you're not kidding me, are you? A thousand of those is ten thousand yuan!"

Who buys Gatling guns by the thousand for Chinese New Year?

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I'm not kidding, do you even have that much stock?"

"Yes!" The boss rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Although we don't have enough in the store, I have some in my warehouse, and it can be delivered in half an hour."

"Very good."

Jiang Chen was about to take out his phone to pay.

Sun Mengjia, who was standing next to him, finally realized what was happening. She grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, her eyes wide with shock: "Are you crazy? You really want to buy it!"

"100,000 yuan can buy a car, or even make a down payment in a county town."

"Why don't you just buy me a car instead of a firecracker? Have you lost your mind?

"You can't show off like that."

[Sun Mengjia was detected saving the host money, sincerity value +1, current sincerity value: 2]

We're finally open!

Jiang Chen was secretly delighted and ignored Sun Mengjia's roar, turning to look at the long-haired black-haired girl who hadn't said a word.

"Xiaoxue, what kind of girl do you like?"

The girl with long, straight black hair was stunned by Jiang Chen's extravagant gesture and hadn't recovered yet. She glanced cautiously at Jiang Chen, then at the furious Sun Mengjia, and said timidly in a low voice:

"I don't have any particular favorites. I like whatever my brother likes, I'm not picky~"

Jiang Chen frowned, his face turning cold: "Speak properly!"

"My parents aren't here, who are you trying to fool?"

"Just say what you want. If you keep putting on an act, I'll send you back to your hotel."

This is a great time to rack up points, are you trying to play dumb with me?

If it wasn't to let you rack up points, what do you think I brought you here for?

Xiaoxue was startled.

This man's expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

She didn't dare to pretend anymore and honestly said, "I like blue fireworks, the kind Xu Huanshan researched in the TV series. But I don't think those are sold for sale; I heard they have very high requirements for preservation and transportation."

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the boss: "Do you have that kind?"

The shop owner looked troubled: "Those kinds of professional-grade fireworks or large-scale combination fireworks, I really don't have in my little shop."

"But if you really want it, I can take you to the main warehouse at the back. That's the largest fireworks warehouse in the county; it should have some."

"But let's get this straight, those things are expensive. A small one costs several thousand, and a large one can even cost tens of thousands. You have to make sure you're not kidding me, otherwise I'll have made a wasted trip."

Without saying a word, Jiang Chen picked up his phone and scanned the QR code on the wall.

"Ten thousand yuan has been deposited into my WeChat account."

The mechanical female voice sounded particularly clear in the cold wind.

Jiang Chen put away his phone: "Here's the money for those thousand Gatling guns, I'll transfer it to you first. Now, can you take me to the warehouse?"

expensive?

He wants the expensive kind!

Hearing the pleasant notification sound of the account being credited, the boss's wrinkles instantly blossomed into a wide smile, and he bent over with joy.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

……

Ten minutes later.

In front of a huge warehouse on the outskirts of town.

Upon entering, Sun Mengjia and Xiaoxue were stunned by the mountain of fireworks before them.

The fireworks here aren't sold individually, but by the box or by the tray.

The shopkeeper pointed to several huge boxes in the middle and explained, "Boss, look, these are large-scale combination fireworks. This 'Prosperous China' set contains 100 fireworks, all with high-altitude special effects. One box costs three thousand eight hundred."

"And that ball is called Blue Enchantress, the kind of blue firework this beautiful lady was talking about, one of them costs five thousand six hundred."

Jiang Chen didn't even haggle over the price, just waved his hand and said, "I'll buy it. Let's start with a hundred blue fireworks for five thousand six."

"I've also heard that blue fireworks are expensive, and apparently they're made of skulls or something. I need to really check them out this year!"

Sun Mengjia couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and stamped her feet in frustration, yelling, "Jiang Chen! Are you fucking giving up?"

"One shot costs several thousand yuan, a hundred shots would be hundreds of thousands!"

"Even if you've made money, you can't waste it like this! That's money, not worthless paper!"

"Can't we just go home and set off a firecracker to make a sound? Why do we have to set off this kind of expensive contraptions?"

[Sun Mengjia was detected saving the host money, sincerity value +1, current sincerity value: 3]

Seeing his sincerity points reach three, Jiang Chen felt secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained nonchalant: "It's nothing, it's just the New Year, it's all about having fun."

For the next half hour...

The entire warehouse witnessed a frenzied shopping spree.

"This money tree sounds so auspicious, give me two hundred."

"This name, 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains,' sounds grand. Give me five hundred cases."

"This rocket... never mind, too stingy, I don't want it."

Sun Mengjia went from being furious at the beginning, to pleading desperately, and finally to becoming completely numb.

She watched the transfer records on Jiang Chen's phone, from 100,000 to 500,000, then to 1 million, and finally settled at 1.5 million...

Her voice was hoarse from shouting.

Even though the woman with long, straight black hair tried to persuade her several times, she was also frightened by Jiang Chen.

She had seen wealthy people, but she had never seen anyone spend millions on fireworks at once.

Is a house going to be released for sale just for the Chinese New Year?

What a waste of money!

That's such a waste of money!

The system notification sounded several times until the sincerity value reached 9 points, and then it stopped increasing.

Because the two of them had become numb.

Most importantly, she knew that Jiang Chen wouldn't listen to her advice.

The boss wasn't looking at the customer anymore; he was looking at the God of Wealth.

His hands were trembling as he held the calculator, and his back was soaked with sweat.

"Boss, that's a total of one million five hundred and sixty-eight thousand..."

"Um."

Jiang Chen glanced at the system task progress bar; there were still over three million left to go.

He was too tired to choose anymore.

So, with a wave of his hand, he pointed to the huge warehouse and said to the boss, "Alright, I'm too lazy to pick anymore. You can choose the rest yourself."

"Adding what I bought before, make it five million, and send it to Jiangmiao Village."

"Hurry, preferably send it to me tonight."

"thump!"

The boss's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down before Jiang Chen.

"Father! You are my real father!"

This time, we really did go six months without business, but once we did, we could live off it for five years!
