A group of small fish were swimming in the coral, and a shark came to eat them. In panic, the little fish hid in the jellyfish and escaped, causing the shark's conspiracy to fail...
Although the story is simple, it is still eye-catching to be able to tell a small story with just a few sets of fireworks.
Especially blue fireworks are rare. As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable. Such beautiful fireworks and such wonderful story design made the audience and judges very fond of it.
"Husband, the fireworks you designed are really beautiful~" Gu Jiadu took his son and congratulated Xiang Nan.
"Dad, you are so amazing~" Xu Ziyan also said.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, and the mother and son held each other in their arms.
Even if he didn't win the prize for this fireworks show, he would be satisfied.
…
Xiang Nan and Gu Jia spent Christmas in Amsterdam with Xu Ziyan.
Shopping, shopping, taking a boat ride, and singing Christmas carols at Dam Square with hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists... spent a happy Christmas.
On the 26th, the Dutch Fireworks Championship officially ended, and the results were officially released.
Xiang Nan’s [Ocean World] won third place in the Fireworks Championship.
When the results were announced, Xiang Nan and his team cheered happily.
Because China's modern fireworks design started late, few have won prizes in international fireworks competitions, and they have always been monopolized by foreign counterparts.
Especially in the Dutch Fireworks Championship, because the competition is more fierce, it is more difficult to win the prize. So far, no Chinese team has won the award.
Although Xiang Nan only won the third prize this time, he had already broken the record.
Therefore, everyone in the team was excited and cheered together.
"Great, we succeeded~"
"Mr. Xu, I knew you could do it~"
"Our fireworks won third place~"
When Gu Jia saw that her husband had really won the award, she was very happy for him, "Husband, you are great~"
"Dad is great~" Xu Ziyan laughed.
This also made Xiang Nan happier, and when it made him even happier,
After he won the award, many customers came to him, hoping to cooperate with Xiang Nan.
On the 26th alone, he received dozens of letters of intent for cooperation. If he can accept them all, Jiamei Fireworks' performance next year will exceed 400 million yuan, achieving a major leap.
However, Xiang Nan is not that greedy. He thinks that if he can win one third, it will be considered good.
After all, this is just a letter of intent for cooperation. If you want to really win an order, you must actively fight for it, use your own designs and products to defeat other competitors and win the favor of customers.
This is no easy task.
…
After the Dutch Fireworks Championship ended, Xiang Nan and others returned to China.
Although the fireworks industry is not popular, the news that Xiang Nan's team won the Dutch Fireworks Championship was not reported much in many mainland media, but it is still a sensation in the industry.
It is really not easy for the fireworks designed by Xiang Nan to win the grand prize at a recognized top event in the industry. Therefore, Xiang Nan's name spreads in the industry.
As a result, Jiamei Fireworks became famous and attracted many orders, giving the company a good start in the new year.
…
Entering 2018, the careers of Xiang Nan and Gu Jia go hand in hand and blossom.
Let’s not talk about Xiang Nan’s fireworks company. Thanks to winning the Dutch Fireworks Championship, the company has been receiving continuous orders. Fireworks sales in January alone exceeded 50 million, equivalent to half of last year's sales.
Gu Jia's tonic business is doing well. She grabbed a big deal and grabbed the New Year's gift list from the company behind the wife circle.
The ladies’ company will give gifts to customers during the Spring Festival. Tonic is undoubtedly a good option, so Gu Jia sold more than 100 million for this large order alone, with a profit of 20 million.
Now if he buys a luxury house again, Gu Jia won't need a loan. You can even buy a house on the 20th or 30th floor by jumping up to the top.
But now, Gu Jia doesn't really want to buy that kind of luxury house.
A luxurious mansion is not used for eating or drinking, but its biggest purpose is to show off your wealth. But now she scorns the display of wealth in the wife circle and even looks down upon it.
If she has money to buy a luxury house, she is more willing to use it to stock up on goods. Thirty million dollars worth of goods can bring a profit of ten million dollars. It’s much more affordable than showing off your wealth.
Secondly, compared to the flashy mansion life, she prefers the down-to-earth life now. Her current house is large and spacious, with many rooms and full functions.
Unlike the previous mansion, which only had three bedrooms and one living room, the practical area was very small, and the extra space was just useless decoration.
Moreover, this house is very close to Gu Jinghong, so he can rush there in time if something happens. It's much better than living in a mansion far away.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Gu Jia had made so much money but still didn't want to buy a new house, she smiled and praised, "Gu Jia, you are much more mature than a year ago."
A year ago, Gu Jia had the guts to stand on tiptoe and take out a loan to buy a 30 million mansion with an annual income of 3 million. It can be said that it is overestimating one's capabilities. Spend a huge price to live a life beyond your own class. If you are not careful, you may go bankrupt.
This also illustrates her vanity and conceit.
But a year later, Gu Jia's monthly income is tens of millions, and buying a luxury house is no longer a problem. Even if you are brave enough, it is not difficult to buy an old house worth over 100 million yuan.
However, she would rather live in an ordinary community than bother with things anymore. She has obviously matured a lot and doesn't care about those superficial things.
"Mrs. Wang, you taught me well. You taught me that to see how powerful a woman is is not to see how high she stands, but to see how low she squats." Gu Jia said with a smile, "I'm going to It’s okay to stand taller, but I’m still willing to squat down.”
She has already lived such an ambitious life. To be honest, it's not easy.
I worry every day about not being able to repay my loan, the fireworks company not being able to receive orders, the fireworks factory not being strictly managed, my father's health, my son's studies... not a day goes by that I don't feel anxious anymore.
But now that she was living a down-to-earth life and no longer had to tiptoe to reach up, she felt her heart suddenly became peaceful.
No need to worry about loans, no worries about orders, no need to worry about fireworks factories... With less things to worry about, you will naturally feel at peace.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded.
Gu Jia is indeed her good student. She had known that she was savvy.
…
At the beginning of the new year, in addition to the career development of Gu Jia and Xiang Nan, Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin also ushered in a big happy event.
Thanks to Chen Yu's efforts, Zhong Xiaoqin became pregnant again, which made the whole family very happy.
When Wang Manni returned home during the Spring Festival, she was also introduced to a blind date by a matchmaker, who recommended an older, high-quality man - Zhang Zhi, director of the Planning Office.
Wang Manni gradually realized her shortcomings in a series of blind date failures in the second half of the year.
Thirty years old is considered old. I have no house, no car, no savings, no local Hujiang household registration, and my job is not stable. It can be said that apart from a good skin, everything else is basically a disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to find a man who has a car, a house, money, is handsome and can talk without being greasy. The most suitable person for her is either a rich man in second marriage or a poor man with potential.
Although Zhang Zhi has no money, he has a stable job, a house and a car, he is not ugly, and his temperament is not greasy. In fact, he is already very good.
So she made up her mind and got along with Zhang Zhi.
