No matter how much money you earn, you have to be alive to spend it!
Niu Bi wholeheartedly agreed with this point.
Shanghai was a turbulent world; if you didn't have any power yourself, hiring a bodyguard was a good option.
"Wenqiang, I'd like to hire a bodyguard. Do you know where I can find a suitable one?" Niu Bi asked after thinking for a moment.
Xu Wenqiang has been in Shanghai for more than half a year, so he should know this.
"Bodyguards need to be trustworthy and skilled in martial arts..."
Xu Wenqiang wiped his mouth and thought for a moment before saying, "Jingwu School, I'd say. The Jingwu School's boxers have excellent reputations and superb skills, making them the best candidates for bodyguards!"
"Okay, I'll go to Jingwu School when I have time."
Niu Bi's heart skipped a beat. As a Chinese citizen, there was no one who didn't know about Jingwu School.
Niu Bi was very familiar with the Mizongquan style and Chen Zhen since childhood, and admired them greatly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Niu Bi returned to reality after they parted ways.
......
At the corner of Dongchang Road, north and east.
In a three-tiered shop called "Da Niu Trading Company", the counter is filled with a dazzling array of goods.
Lighters, mechanical watches, and even projectors and videotapes are neatly arranged in a prominent place, and five or six staff members are explaining how to use the lighters to customers.
Niu Bi, dressed in a blue long gown, sat behind the counter, holding a cup of fragrant tea, watching the customers coming and going in the shop with great interest.
"Sir, your Longjing tea is ready."
A clever-looking young waiter stood awkwardly in front of Niu Bi, holding a purple clay teapot.
"Okay, fill it up."
Niu Bi sniffed. This tea is definitely better when it's expensive. The aroma alone is incomparable to ordinary coarse tea.
Niu Bi used to enjoy drinking tea, but it was always coarse tea. Now that he has money, improving his quality of life is a must.
Tian Qi carefully filled the teacup in Niu Bi's hand, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
Sir, where did you get this tea? It smells so good! It's Longjing tea; just the name itself suggests it's something special.
"You may leave."
Niu Bi waved his hand, and the waiter took the teapot and went back.
"Yes, it feels so different to be a shopkeeper and have someone to serve you!"
Niu Bi crossed his legs, took a sip of Longjing tea, and looked at the increasing number of customers, sighing with admiration.
A little over a month ago, he was a poor factory worker. Now, he has nearly a million yuan in his bank account and owns a business in Shanghai. Life is slowly getting better and better.
Once I've earned more money, I can buy a villa, find a wife, and have a baby. Wouldn't that make my life perfect?
After thinking about it, Niubi felt that this was not perfect yet.
This ideal was only his ideal before he obtained the portal. Now that he has the portal, there is much he can do in this world of Shanghai!
To open Da Niu Trading Company all over Shanghai, and even spread it all over China.
Earn more gold and surpass Mr. Ma in real life?
Niu Bi believes that given time, this is possible.
"Sir, someone is looking for you outside."
Just as Niu Bi was planning his life's ideals, his assistant Tian Qi suddenly rushed over anxiously.
Who's looking for me?
Niu Bi was taken aback. Could it be Xu Wenqiang?
Although Xu Wenqiang helped take over the shop, Niu Bi still paid out 15 projectors and 30 gold bars in total.
"Sir, it seems...it seems to be people from the Money Gang, probably collecting protection money."
Tian Qi seemed somewhat timid as he spoke.
"Oh, take me to see it!"
Niu Bi was taken aback, and immediately followed Tian Qi outside.
Damn it, Da Niu Trading Company has only been open for less than three days and you're already charging fees?
In the office of Da Niu Trading Company, a slovenly young man sat swaggering in the boss's chair, his mud-covered feet propped up on the desk, making the clean desk look disgusting.
Niu Bi followed Tian Qi, walking slowly and steadily into the office. Seeing the scene before him, he frowned and said, "Brother, you wanted to see me?"
"You must be Mr. Niu, the manager of Da Niu Trading Company? I see your business is doing quite well!" The young man raised his chin as soon as he saw Niu Bi, as if he were superior to others.
"I am the owner here. May I ask what brings you here?"
Niu Bi was very displeased, and he even omitted the word "brother" when he spoke.
"Oh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Qing Li. You've heard of the Money Gang, right? I'm the person in charge of the Money Gang on this street. As the maintainer of order in this area, I'm always protecting the interests of you merchants. In return, you should pay some protection fees every month."
