"This bar seems to be very famous." Xu Taiping said.

"Yes, it can be considered a long-established bar. This bar has been there before I entered the world. The owner of the bar knows many people in the world. The leaders of Hongtai and Xingyi are all good friends with the bar owner. , Don’t look at the fact that our location is not very good, look at the good locations, they are basically reserved by the top people in Hong Kong and the city, as well as those big capitalists, those people are not easy to mess with." Niu Lang said .

"Money is king now," Xu Taiping said.

"That's right!" Niu Lang nodded and said, "If you have money, you are what you say, but if you don't have money, you are nothing."

"How is business lately?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's been okay recently. As you know, I'm a sudden rise, so the local societies in Hong Kong are targeting me. Fighting, killing and so on are inevitable. But fortunately, I can't deal with them. , they can't do anything to me." Niu Lang said.

"Brother Niulang, are you a member of society?" Zhao Xiaohua asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Then... Brother Niulang, do you know someone named A Biao?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"A Biao? Hongtai's A Biao?" Niu Lang asked.

"It seems so." Zhao Xiaohua nodded.

"We know each other, but we're not familiar with each other. What's wrong?" Niu Lang asked.

"This...is like this, Taiping, do you know why we haven't turned on the phone these days?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's because of this A Biao that he wants to collect protection money. If we don't pay the protection money, he won't turn on our phone." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Are you making movies?" Niu Lang asked.

"Yes, it is a movie invested by Mr. Xu." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Well, it's normal for us to pay protection fees when filming movies here. Even if Brother Xu comes to see me, it won't matter. This is the rule of the world. If you pay the protection fee, the local society will protect you from not doing anything during the filming. I have been harassed by those local gangsters for more than a hundred years," Niu Lang said.

"We know this, but... we have paid two protection fees before, one time of 200,000 yuan, and another time of 500,000 yuan. After only two or three days of shooting, this A Biao asked for protection money again. We are worried about the third After giving it to him the first time, he would ask for the fourth time, so we didn’t give it to him. As a result, he asked people to interfere with our shooting, so we stopped shooting in the past two days." Zhao Xiaohua explained.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Xu Taiping asked with raised eyebrows.

"This is what A Biao has done." Niu Lang frowned and said, "There are rules in the industry. In our industry, protection fees are basically collected in one go. People like you who come from the mainland to make movies usually It’s about 500,000 yuan a month, and A Biao wants 700,000 yuan from you in two or three days, which is against the rules of the world!”

"Then can you help us negotiate an agreement?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"This..." Niu Lang glanced at Xu Taiping and said, "Brother Xu, this is a movie you pitched, so I must help you negotiate a deal. Besides, A Biao did this unethically. I'll go find him." If they talk to each other, it should be fine."

"Then I'll trouble you." Xu Taiping said.

"Brother Xu, look what you said, it's my honor if you come to my place usefully. Okay, no more talk, let's drink!" Niu Lang said, picking up the bottle and pouring it for Xu Taiping Got wine.

Soon, everyone started eating and drinking.

For Xu Taiping, he doesn't like bars and nightclubs very much. The key to his drinking depends on the person, such as the Cowherd, who he considers a good friend, so he will be happy no matter where he drinks, so this time The drinking lasted from around eleven o'clock to around one in the morning, and everyone drank happily.

The time came to half past one in a blink of an eye.

Xu Taiping suddenly noticed that a group of people walked into the bar and sat in the center of the bar.

"Brother Xu, look at the man with his slicked back hair. That man is Hongtai's talker. We all call him Mr. Zhu. In the world of Hong Kong, this man ranks among the top three. Look at the man on his right. Man, that man is A Biao, one of Mr. Zhu’s men. Brother Xu, please wait here while I go over to have a drink with Mr. Zhu and tell you something about you.” Niu Lang said, holding the With his own cup and a freshly opened bottle of vsop on the table, he walked to the booth in the middle.

The arrival of the man named Mr. Zhu attracted the attention of many people in the bar. Like the Cowherd, many people walked to the booth with wine glasses, as if they were going to toast.

This scene is similar to Xu Taiping's scene in Jiangyuan City.

Xu Taiping stopped drinking at this time and looked at Niulang.

The lights in the bar were very dim and the music was very loud, so I couldn't hear what the Cowherd was saying, but I could see clearly.

Xu Taiping saw Niu Lang walking up to Mr. Zhu, then bending down to say something to Mr. Zhu with a flattering smile. Then, Xu Taiping saw Niu Lang adding a full glass of foreign wine to himself, and then he himself Drink it.

After Niulang drank the glass of wine, Xu Taiping saw that the man named A Biao looked towards them.

Although they were more than ten meters apart, Xu Taiping still saw a joking smile on A Biao's face. Then, Xu Taiping saw Niu Lang pouring himself a full glass of wine, and then drank it in one gulp. Go down.

"That friend of yours drank two large glasses of pure foreign wine!" Zhao Xiaohua whispered.

"Yeah." Xu Taiping nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, Xu Taiping saw that Niu Lang added a glass of pure foreign wine to himself, and then Niu Lang faced the A Biao, as if he was toasting the A Biao wine.

A Biao sat on the sofa, clinked the wine glass with Niu Lang, and then took a sip, while Niu Lang drank the whole glass of foreign wine directly.

In less than a minute, Cowherd drank three large glasses of pure foreign wine, but there was always a smile on Cowherd's face.

After finishing the third glass of foreign wine, Cowherd poured a fourth glass, and then drank one with the others in Mr. Zhu's booth.

After finishing four cups, Niu Lang smiled and waved to everyone, then turned around and walked back to Xu Taiping's booth.

Xu Taiping saw that the freshly opened bottle of vsop that Cowherd had just brought out had already bottomed out.

"Why do you drink so much?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.

"Mr. Zhu is a veteran and a highly respected person. The first cup is to respect him, the second cup is to ask him to do something, the third cup is to say hello to A Biao, and the fourth cup is to respect the people around Mr. Zhu. , you must drink these wines, by the way, Brother Xu, you can go to shoot tomorrow, A Biao has already said that he will not harass you anymore." Niu Lang said.

"Thank you." Xu Taiping poured himself a full glass of foreign wine and said, "I'll finish this glass, you can do as you like."

After saying that, Xu Taiping drank the foreign wine in one gulp.

"Brother Xu, please wait for me for a moment. I have to vomit. I'll drink with you after I finish vomiting!" Cowherd said, putting down the cup and bottle and walking to the side.

"Four large glasses, nearly a bottle of foreign wine, I would have vomited. Your friend is really interesting to you." Zhao Xiaohua said seriously.

"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded. Just now Niu Lang was drinking there, but he didn't go up to help. This was not because Xu Taiping was timid. First, it was because Niu Lang had not planned to take him there before. The other one, This is the Cowherd helping him to do things. Every place has its own rules for doing things. The Cowherd is helping him to do things. If he still goes over to participate, it means he does not trust the Cowherd's ability to do things.

After about five minutes, the Cowherd came back.

"I'll feel better after vomiting. Although I have a good drinking capacity, if I drink so much wine in one go, if I don't spit it out, I will definitely become drunk and stupid in a while. Come on, Brother Xu, I owed you one just now, I drank it!" Niu! Lang said, poured himself a cup of pure water, and drank it all in one gulp.

"We drink alone, so there is no need to worry about this." Xu Taiping said.

"That's not okay. Brother Xu, you are my nobleman. If I drink with you, then I will drink as much as you want!" Niu Lang said, sitting down in his seat.

As soon as Niulang sat down, Xu Taiping saw that the man named A Biao came to their booth with a glass of wine and smiled. On A Biao's booth, Mr. Zhu was already there. No more.

"Brother Niulang, I'll come over to play with you." A Biao said with a smile.

"Come on, come on, sit down." Cowherd stood up and greeted enthusiastically.

"Okay." A Biao nodded and sat down next to Zhao Xiaohua.

"A Biao, come and sit next to me. It's been a long time since we had a good drink. Let's drink more this time!" Niu Lang pushed away the woman next to him and said to A Biao.

"No, no, no, Brother Cowherd, when you come out to play, you can't play with men. You have to play with women, right? This beauty, I think I have seen you before!" A Biao said, smiling and extending his hand to Zhao Xiaohua. Put it on your thigh.

Zhao Xiaohua reacted quickly. Before A Biao put his hand on her thigh, she moved towards Xu Taiping and pressed tightly against Xu Taiping's body.

A Biao let go of his hands and didn't take it seriously. He smiled and held the wine glass and said, "Come on, everyone here, let's have a drink. I'll finish the glass. Do you think it's okay?"

"Xiaohua, sit here." Xu Taiping patted his other side.

Zhao Xiaohua quickly stood up and sat on the other side of Xu Taiping. Although the space on the other side of Xu Taiping was very small, Zhao Xiaohua had to press her whole body close to him, but in order to avoid being taken advantage of by this A Biao, Zhao Xiaohua still had no hesitation. sat on the other side of Xu Taiping.

"Beautiful girl, you are going too far. Although I, A Biao, am not a handsome guy, I am still a famous person in the world. Are you looking down on me?" A Biao drank the cup into his mouth. Put the wine on the table, frowned and said.

"A Biao, this is my eldest brother's woman." Niu Lang said.

"Your eldest brother? Brother Niulang, you also have an eldest brother? Why haven't I heard of it?" A Biao asked.

"This is the big brother I recognize." Niu Lang explained.

"Oh, that's it. The accent sounds like you're from Mainland China, right? There's a saying in Mainland China: Dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, and sister-in-law is not as fun as sister-in-law. This is your eldest brother, and this girl is your sister-in-law. Have you ever played with it?" A Biao joked. asked.

"Have you ever played with your elder brother Zhu's woman?" Xu Taiping asked suddenly.

Xu Taiping's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the entire booth freeze.
