Chapter 688: Chapter 294: So Many Eccentrics

Flying back to the Imperial Capital, Su Huai went to arrange the matter as soon as possible.

After making inquiries, he found it was indeed difficult.

Currently, the Imperial Capital had not implemented a complete ban on fireworks, and the approval power was still in the department of the grand cap uncle, not transferred to the city government, but unofficial activities were basically impossible to approve.

Su Huai asked around and only got a clear understanding of how to submit a request for approval.

The first step was to find a fireworks operation unit; he couldn’t just set them off willy-nilly.

The second step was for the operation unit to devise a fireworks plan, including the address, types of fireworks, overall specifications, safety and security plans, etc.

The third step was to fill out an application form, explain the reasons for the application, and submit it for approval, along with other relevant materials.

After looking through a bunch of materials, Su Huai discovered that there were probably only two companies that could take care of this matter, so he immediately paid them visits.

To get them to take him seriously, he dressed to the nines.

Driving the Poison, wearing his battle robe, and sporting a Patek Philippe Celestial watch, he arrived in full swagger.

The first one he visited was Panda Fireworks.

Their person in charge came out to meet him in slippers, indeed very courteous—and after an introduction, kept calling him Mr. Su.

But when they actually talked about business, he was non-committal.

"Mr. Su, honestly, this can’t be done; personal applications will never be approved..."

"I can offer more money."

Su Huai didn’t let him finish his refusal, clanging his offer on the table: "I’ll pay five times the amount, just get it done for me."

"Holy shit!"

The manager jumped in shock, nearly leaping up.

A deal that was worth 1 million suddenly turned into 5 million—netting a profit of 4.5 million; the margin was enough to make his head spin.

But the manager only hesitated for a short while, then he said with a wry smile, "Mr. Su, it’s really not about the money, if you apply with this reason, nobody would dare approve it!"

"Meaning... I need to find a good reason?"

Su Huai frowned, deep in thought, "Partner with some official department and hold an event?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The manager nodded eagerly, then lowered his voice, "The reason must be solid, then I can go find people to influence and expedite the approval process. There’s not much time left before the 20th, it’s really tight..."

Su Huai decided to let the experts handle their business and humbled himself by asking, "Which department’s events are easier to get approved?"

The manager counted off on his fingers: "Municipal services, cultural tourism, sports federation—these are units that often have events and apply, and as long as there’s a major event, they usually don’t get stuck, but..."

"What’s the problem now?"

The manager’s face became very somber: "Er, there’s nothing substantial planned on the 20th that either precedes or follows it; it’s tough, and all their limited resources are waiting for New Year’s Day..."

Got it, it seemed that even finding an event unit was not easy.

Su Huai stared at him: "Is there really no way around it?"

"Mr. Su, to be completely honest with you, who wouldn’t want to make that much money? If I could get it done, I’d be popping champagne for you right now!"

The two stared at each other for a while, dry and speechless, until the manager, with a flicker in his eyes, murmured, "Unless... "

"Let’s get in touch again."

Su Huai bid farewell and made another trip to the city fireworks company.

This was a municipally-owned enterprise that basically monopolized government events.

But the result was the same; they said unless you could find a reliable partner, there was nothing they could do.

"Mr. Su, Capital City is different, a paragon of virtue. We have our rules for doing things; you understand, right?"

What a load of crap!

Su Huai left, his mood heavy, and stormed into Zhang Yaowen’s office.

"Well, well, Class Monitor Su, had enough fun?"

Zhang teased him with a laugh, slapping the leave of absence form onto the desk: "Done having fun? Then cancel your leave. Your teachers have asked about you several times."

"Don’t, I haven’t finished what I came for."

Su Huai chatted with him for a bit and then, out of the blue, asked, "I want to set off fireworks at our sports field. Can our university help out?"

"What are you thinking?" Zhang Yaowen’s eyes widened, "If any of the 300-plus colleges in the urban area could easily get a permit to set off fireworks, wouldn’t the whole city be lit up on New Year’s Day?"

"Our university can’t handle it?"

"We can’t!"

Zhang Yaowen was adamant in his response, and Su Huai’s heart sank.

But he hadn’t given up yet, trying to persuade, "Think of a solution, will you? I was planning to hold a birthday fireworks show for Gu; at that time, you could also invite Uncle Gu over..."

Zhang Yaowen raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest crossing his face.

However, it was only just that—an inkling of interest.

"Don’t try to charm me with Gu Tongshu, I indeed do want to see his dog face, but our university can’t handle this. Even Qingbei can’t get approval for their New Year’s Eve celebration!"

Finished, it was over. It seemed there was no chance going the official route.

What if he asked Gu Tongshu? Could he have a way?

This idea suddenly dawned on Su Huai, but it was quickly dismissed.

He couldn’t let him know; otherwise, the old geezer might mock him in countless ways.

Su Huai clenched his teeth hard, deciding to play dirty.

He called the manager of Panda Fireworks again and bluntly asked, "Can you handle it for 10 million?"

The manager was overjoyed, replying with conviction, "That’s definitely doable. I’ll find people, I’ll make the arrangements, and my people will take the fall if anything happens. You can transfer the money!"

"Fine, give me the account, I’ll transfer it now."

Su Huai was all too eager, immediately transferring the full payment to the personal account provided.

The money was normally sufficient to set off five large-scale fireworks shows; he wasn’t buying fireworks but the willingness of the other party to take the blame.

According to the Imperial Capital’s fireworks management regulations, unauthorized fireworks would result in public security punishment, detention for 15 to 20 days.

Of course, in practice, it was not that strict; every year, there were big brothers who set off massive fireworks at the border of Tongzhou and Hebei—usually, they were just fined and detained for two or three days.
