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

Chapter 65: Sun Mengjia's awesomeness is on full display in the comments.

Although the profit margin for fireworks and firecrackers is not small, business is only available in the few days before the Lunar New Year, and there is no business after the New Year.

It's the kind of business that doesn't open for half a year, but when it does, it feeds you for half a year.

However, in recent years, as the festive atmosphere of the New Year has faded and policies banning fireworks and firecrackers have been implemented, the wealthy cannot set them off, while the poor cannot afford to buy them.

The result is that there are more fireworks sold than bought, so people earn less and get increasingly tired.

Most importantly, when the child grows up, he will have to get married.

Getting married is like peeling off a layer of skin; you have to buy a house, a car, and pay a dowry and gold jewelry.

Especially with the Lunar New Year approaching, business is getting worse every day.

But now, Jiang Chen bought five million worth of fireworks in one go.

They are all high-profit, high-quality fireworks.

The higher the unit price of fireworks, the higher the profit margin.

Ordinary firecrackers with a few hundred shots aren't worth more than a few dollars. If you sell them for a dollar more, people won't buy them from you.

Although these goods weren't his own, Jiang Chen brought them himself and was directly connected to him.

The bulk of the profits are kept by ourselves.

You're not willing to give up a discount?

Jiang Chen still owes more than three million yuan, and hasn't said what he'll buy. I can switch suppliers anytime.

Therefore, this order is no longer as simple as feeding him for half a year or a year.

The money he receives from this deal will be no less than 1.5 million.

They have a house, a car, and even a bride price for their daughter-in-law.

It's truly a case of "when one door closes, another opens"!

The fireworks shop owner's eyes were practically sparkling as he looked at Jiang Chen.

This is my benefactor!

Thinking this through, the fireworks shop owner patted his chest and said, "Boss, are you planning to set them off at the company, or somewhere else? Have you hired a fireworks team?"

In his view, this level of fireworks display was something he had only ever seen before when the government set off fireworks on the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Chen was definitely not procured by the government.

That means the company boss or project manager came to make the purchase in person.

It's definitely for the company.

If an ordinary person spends five million on fireworks, are you planning to set off fireworks or become an arms dealer?

With that kind of firepower, during the War of Resistance against Japan, they might have even brought down our peaceful lives.

Let alone an individual, even a company wouldn't be able to afford to release so much money unless it has hundreds of millions in profits every year.

Jiang Chen was taken aback: "You need a team just to set off fireworks?"

The fireworks shop owner laughed: "Of course, fireworks are dangerous goods, especially flammable and explosive ones, so of course we have professionals handling them."

"If it were just a little bit, it would be fine, but with so many fireworks, you definitely couldn't set them off all by yourself."

"Moreover, individual fireworks bursting out is definitely not beautiful. How can we combine them to make the effect more beautiful? How should low-altitude and high-altitude fireworks be matched? What color fireworks should be paired with what color fireworks? What fireworks should explode in the air at what time? How large should the area after the explosion be? What kind of fireworks should be used to complement the beauty without overshadowing the previous fireworks?"

"How to combine the good and the bad, how to make them stand out and create a striking effect, these are all matters of skill."

"We can also customize the words for the fireworks display, such as 'Happy Opening of Your Company' or something similar."

"It's Chinese New Year, and we all want it to be festive and auspicious."

"Furthermore, such a large-scale fireworks display requires professional firing and fire prevention measures. It also requires an approved venue; otherwise, a fine will be imposed without question."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He really didn't expect that there would be so many intricacies involved in setting off fireworks.

He didn't doubt that what the boss said was false.

But, is it really true that the fireworks can't be set off?

She finally made up her mind to set off all five million worth of fireworks instead of clearing them out at a low price to recoup her losses.

You're just going to give me a beating that day and then tell me to stop?

Jiang Chen asked, "I really didn't know these rules. Does that mean I can't put it up without prior approval and a professional venue?"

The shop owner shook his head and patiently explained, "Of course not. After all, it's five million worth of fireworks. If you trust me, I'll handle the paperwork for you."

"Don't worry, with your capabilities, and considering that the regulations on fireworks aren't as strict this year, as long as it's not in the city center and there's a sufficiently spacious area, I can get it done for you."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly: "I don't have much ability. Just tell me if it would be possible to go through the normal approval process."

The boss laughed: "Mr. Jiang, you're too modest. Of course, following the normal procedures is fine too. Are you planning to take the holiday on New Year's Eve or the Lantern Festival?"

"Of course it's New Year's Eve, I'll leave on the fifteenth."

The boss seemed thoughtful: "Boss, you're making your fortune out of town, huh? That explains why Mrs. Jiang's accent doesn't sound like we're from around here. Going through the normal procedures should be fine, but since it's almost Chinese New Year, we need to expedite things. It's better to deal with the devil than his minions, and he still has to work overtime, doesn't he?"

"Of course, if you're free on the Lantern Festival, I still recommend it. After all, everyone stays home to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, no one goes out to watch it. In our small town, if you say there's a large-scale fireworks show on the Lantern Festival with free tickets, the queues would stretch for miles."

Jiang Chen laughed: "Let's do it on New Year's Eve. Just deduct the cost from the five million. I'll set it off myself in my old village. Try your best to get all the paperwork done and get the fireworks show up. If you can't get it up, or if anything goes wrong, I'll make you pay me."

He wasn't doing it for a large audience, but just for the villagers.

Is it meaningful to show off to others?

Nobody knows his surname or given name.

It might even cause a lot of trouble because of fame.

In the village, with the help of acquaintances, you just need to put on a good act.

The boss's eyes widened instantly.

No.

I don't understand. Say it again: you're going to set off three million worth of fireworks at your home in the countryside?

The boss swallowed hard, feeling as if his mind had exploded.

"Boss, what's your surname?"

Sun Mengjia burst out laughing when she saw his expression.

Before Jiang Chen could speak, she said first, "My husband's surname is Jiang."

"President Jiang, since you're setting off so many fireworks in your rural hometown, it must be to give back to the village, let your relatives and neighbors see a grand fireworks show, and also to demonstrate your capabilities."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

I have absolutely no ability.

They all rely on the power of the system.

But since the system has already given him money, he has no reason not to spend it.

As for selling these fireworks to recoup some funds?

It's possible, but there's no need for it.

Not to mention that buying and selling fireworks privately is illegal.

Even if we offered to refund them half price, they might not be willing to accept it.

Most importantly, this was a great opportunity for Jiang Chen to show off.

Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.

Although he wasn't actually rich, with the system at his disposal, he could be richer than the wealthy.

Instead of using these fireworks, why not use them to create a big display, so that the whole village and even the whole county can see his strength?

He's not a saint, and he wants to show off too, but why doesn't he buy a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi?

In Jiang Chen's eyes, a car worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan couldn't possibly carry that much weight.

Let alone big cities, even in this small county town, there are quite a few cars worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. The proportion of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi (BBA) cars is not as high as in Hangzhou, but it is definitely not low either.

While there aren't many luxury cars worth millions, there are definitely quite a few cars worth hundreds of thousands.

After all, housing prices are low in small counties, and many elderly people in these counties are those who received compensation for land expropriation, so they don't need to spend money to buy a house and can get money for free.

Therefore, buying a million-dollar car doesn't have a good effect on showing off.

If the system really gives him three million yuan to buy a car, he will indeed buy a Bentley Range Rover.

Who still cares about those damn trams?

If the system gives me a ten million yuan car purchase fund, it has to be a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. My dad may have trouble making money, but I don't.

But since we can't show off that much, we might as well keep a low profile and focus on substance.

But fireworks are different; even wealthy people can't set off many.

The ban on fireworks has even prevented wealthy people in the city from setting off fireworks, while those who remain in the villages have little money.

Let alone fireworks worth millions, most families wouldn't even be willing to spend a thousand yuan on fireworks.

Spending three to five hundred yuan to buy some firecrackers, double-bang firecrackers, and small fireworks is already quite good.

Most importantly, fireworks are disposable items; they're gone after a short time.

Just like luxury handbags, do you think it's better than a canvas bag that costs ten or twenty dollars?

not necessarily.

Do you think it's prettier and sturdier than a bag that costs tens of dollars?

Not necessarily.

Because they are not necessities, and there is little difference in practicality between bags costing tens of dollars and bags costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, carrying a bag costing hundreds of thousands of dollars is considered pretentious.

One of my bags costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Do you think I'm rich?

Similarly, it's useless for you to shout through a megaphone that you've made money throughout the village.

If he sets off fireworks worth millions in one go in the village, who would dare to underestimate him?

In time, all the mockery will turn into praise.

So Jiang Chen said, "You mean you can also customize fireworks with words on them?"

"Of course! Even though we'll need it soon, money talks. With money, why worry about finding a skilled craftsman?"

Jiang Chen laughed as well: "I don't care about anything else, I'll just put up five million. The final result depends on your ability."

"One thing is certain: if I'm satisfied, we can have another opportunity to cooperate next year. If I'm not satisfied, then this is just a one-off deal."

"Of course, if what you've done is extremely unsatisfactory to me, and looks worthless, then I'll have to have someone thoroughly investigate how much money you've swindled from me."

"I don't know anything about fireworks. I'm paying for the experience; all I want is the final effect."

"I only care about the results!"

The fireworks shop owner felt his breathing become labored and his heart pounding.

Leave everything to yourself?

Cool!

So cool!

He even suddenly felt a sense of loyalty, like a scholar would die for one who understands him.

Why does he sell fireworks?

It was because he loved fireworks since he was a child, and he thought that if he sold fireworks, he would never lack fireworks in the future.

However, although there have been quite a few releases every year over the years, I have never experienced that feeling of letting loose and having a good time.

After all, even if it's cheap, it's still money.

He had also dreamed of putting on a grand fireworks show, but reality never gave him that opportunity.

He also fantasized about planning a large-scale fireworks show to show everyone how awesome he was.

But it hasn't been achieved yet.

In recent years, he has completely lost interest in setting off fireworks, and every year during the Lunar New Year he only sets off a few strings of firecrackers symbolically.

But now he sees an opportunity to realize his dream.

My whole body was trembling.

I wasn't this excited when I found out I could earn at least 1.5 million.

"Are you really going to hand over all authority to me?"

His voice was hoarse and trembling. He tried to calm himself down and not be so pathetic.

But the more he tried to control it, the less he could.

He even felt his face was distorted.

Jiang Chen calmly nodded: "My budget is five million. Whether you hire someone to set it off or do it yourself, and whatever kind of fireworks you choose, it's up to you. I only care about the effect."

"Since you said you wanted it to include words, then let's make it wish Mom and Dad a Happy New Year."

Sun Mengjia quickly raised her hand: "Me too! Get me a Sun Mengjia Awesome one."

Join if you can't.

Anyway, Jiang Chen wouldn't listen to her advice, and he was determined to spend the five million, so why not get one for himself?

The thought of her name rising into the air and exploding filled her with excitement.

Jiang Chen's lips twitched as he watched Sun Mengjia wiping her drool.

"I understand you want to make fireworks with your own name on them, but what's with the last two characters?"

This is because she's afraid no one will know she's a "spiritual young lady."

"None of your business," Sun Mengjia pouted.

Jiang Chen was speechless and looked at the boss: "Can you do it?"

Boss: ? ? ?

No, you're going to do it for her already?

Do you want to listen carefully to what those two words she said are?
