"Since your business is booming since its opening, we need to bring some good luck, don't you think?" Qingli said, grabbing a package beside him. "See this package? I'll leave it here and come back for it this afternoon!"
After Qing Li finished speaking, he stood up and handed the package to Niu Bi.
"Leave the empty package here?"
Looking at the package, which was about 30 centimeters long, wide, and thick, Niu Bi didn't take it. He asked疑惑地问道, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Niu, are you really ignorant of the rules or are you just pretending?" Seeing Niu Bi's expression, Qing Li's face darkened. He knew that as a businessman who had made his way in Shanghai, he couldn't possibly not understand what Niu Bi meant.
"Are you going to fill this package with copper coins?"
Niu Bi's heart sank upon hearing this.
He suddenly remembered a scene from a Shanghai TV series where Ah Guang took Chen Hanlin to see the world, and once took off his suit jacket and put it into the tip plate of a traveling performer.
In the end, the artist, being very polite, put the tips he received into his suit and respectfully handed them to A-Guang.
Is this the damn rule?
“No, yours is different. Your business has a very high profit margin, so it has to be in the form of silver dollars!” Qingli waved his hand and said.
"The ocean?!"
Niu Bi's heart sank.
Can this bag be filled with less than five or six hundred yuan?
He instantly understood—damn it, this was blatant oppression!
Is there no room for negotiation?
Niu Bi felt that doing business was about making money through harmony, and only resorting to force when all else failed.
"Excuse me, Boss Niu, this is a rule set by our boss!" Qing Li said decisively.
"well!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Bi's face darkened, and he pointed to the door, saying, "Turn left as you exit. Don't bother seeing me out!"

Chapter Eleven: Murderous Intent
At that moment, Niu Bi didn't even need to think; he chose to refuse.
These people are vampires; there's absolutely no room for compromise.
Once a compromise is reached, there will definitely be more demands to follow.
"What...what did you say?"
Qing Li's expression changed abruptly. He stood up abruptly, his face grim, and said, "Boss Niu, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"
This boss is really clueless. It seems he won't know how powerful Boss Jin is unless he's taught a lesson.
Wherever he went, which merchant didn't obediently hand over protection money?
Unless you don't want to do business in this area anymore.
"Your demands are too outrageous; I cannot meet them."
At this moment, Niu Bi was furious and decided to go find Xu Wenqiang later to think of a solution.
"Can't meet your demands? Heh heh, Mr. Niu, let me tell you, here, no one has ever dared to say they won't pay!" Qing Li said threateningly. "You'll have to pay this protection fee whether you like it or not!"
"I've left the package here. If you don't want to hand it over, feel free to try!" Qing Li said, then turned and left.
Niu Bi's expression darkened as he watched Qing Li's departing figure.
I really want to strangle this son of a bitch!
"Boss, I think you should just give it to him!" The waiter who saw Qingli leave said with a drastic change in expression.
"Tian Qi, you suggest I give them silver dollars?"
Niu Bi looked surprised.
"right."
Tian Qi continued, "Six months ago, I heard about something. This Qingli went to collect protection money, but a merchant in the east refused to pay. Half a month later, the merchant's shop was burned down. The merchant and several of his employees slept inside that night but couldn't escape. They said it was a fire in the merchant's warehouse, but everyone knew it was the work of the Money Gang!"
"What?"
Niu Bi was shocked; these people were incredibly ruthless.
"Okay, I understand. I'll think of a solution."
Niu Bi's heart sank. He gave an instruction to the shopkeeper, went out, got into a rickshaw, and headed towards the Mei Hua Theater.
......
Shanghai Bund.
Dongchang Road, north side, Golden Pond Opera House.
Inside the theater, a short actor was energetically playing the role of Wu Dalang selling pancakes on stage, but the audience below was small and scattered, making the scene somewhat desolate.
