"Brother Xu, aren't you trying to trick me?!" The eldest cousin suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Why did I cheat you? I gave you such a good opportunity, a chance to become a master, why did I cheat you?" Xu Taiping asked with a half-smile.
"Think about it, my partners are eager for me to fail, and then my competitors are eager to get rid of me and drive me out of the perfume country. I have enemies both front and back. What should I do?" the eldest cousin asked excitedly.
"That's up to you." Xu Taiping shrugged and said, "If I want to know how to do it, why should I use you?"
"Brother Xu, you're really hurting me!" The eldest cousin said with tears in his eyes, "I used to do well in Jiangyuan City. I had no problem eating, drinking and having fun every day. I'll demerit you for deceiving me." I came to the Perfume Country and did business with my head tied to my waist, so why should I bother me!"
"Because you also want to stand out, right?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"That's true, but there are ways to get ahead. Now I don't call it getting ahead at all. What I call it is getting ahead!" said the eldest cousin.
"You can still choose to quit at this time." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "As long as you choose to quit, I will let you go."
"Quit? No, no, no, it's impossible to quit. My eldest cousin has been in the business field for so many years and has encountered many more problems than this. There are runs from peers and government investigations. Although these are not as dangerous as here. , but the complexity is much higher than here. Since Brother Xu values me and specially brought me here, I have to give it a try no matter what. Even if I fail, I won’t be afraid!" The eldest cousin was excited. said.
"Failure means losing your head, aren't you afraid?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid. With Brother Xu here, what should I be afraid of? Brother Xu, you came back immediately after returning to China. This is obviously to support me. With you supporting me, what should I be afraid of?" asked the eldest cousin road.
"Hahaha, you are really right. After all, I brought you here. I can't just watch you being killed like this, right? If you are killed too early, I will be the one who loses you." To save my face, I can give you a clear message: here, your life will not be in danger. As for how you want to do business, that is your problem." Xu Taiping said.
"Okay!" The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Brother Xu, I feel relieved with your words. Now I need something, and Brother Xu, you must help me."
"What?" Xu Taiping asked.
"First of all, I need to know the branches of the gangs here in Shiba City. Secondly, I need information about Benzema. In addition, I need to have some subordinates who can support me. They don't have to be loyal, but these People must not be Eric's confidant..." The eldest cousin told Xu Taiping a lot of things that needed Xu Taiping's help. Xu Taiping didn't think much and agreed to them one by one, because the eldest cousin said these things Nothing is very difficult to do.
The eldest cousin spent the entire afternoon thinking about countermeasures in the room. The business with Benzema was a hurdle for the eldest cousin. If this hurdle was passed, then the eldest cousin would be recognized by Eric. All the things Eric left behind in Perfume Country will be handed over to his eldest cousin.
At night.
Eric held a grand dinner for Xu Taiping and his eldest cousin at the hotel.
All Eric's confidants were present, and Xu Taiping was the only one with him and his eldest cousin. The number of people was a bit too small, but the momentum was not bad at all, especially when drinking, Xu Taiping Taiping has a good drinking capacity, and his eldest cousin also has a very good drinking capacity. The two of them went back and forth with a group of foreigners, but in the end, it was the foreigners who died first.
Late at night, the group of people said goodbye to each other, and then Xu Taiping and his eldest cousin went upstairs together.
Xu Taiping was not in a hurry to go back to his room to sleep. He lay on the sofa in the living room and watched his elder cousin write and draw with a pen and paper.
The eldest cousin drank a lot, but he kept a very clear head. Xu Taiping did not read what the eldest cousin wrote, nor did he care about his plans. He was only responsible for the personal safety of the eldest cousin. , that's all, but for some reason, Xu Taiping has unprecedented confidence in his eldest cousin. This man, who is only about 1.5 meters tall, seems to contain an unimaginable energy.
"A group of my men will come from Jiangyuan City the day after tomorrow." Xu Taiping said suddenly.
The eldest cousin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Taiping happily and asked, "Are they here to help me?"
"Well, there are fifteen in total. They are all people who can fight and kill. They will become your confidants and help you settle some things while I am away." Xu Taiping said.
"Thank you, Brother Xu." The eldest cousin said excitedly, "I knew Brother Xu would not let me down."
"I can't let your subordinates be all Eric's people, otherwise you will be easily ignored." Xu Taiping said.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this. I have a way to conquer those people. After selling high imitations for so many years, I have absorbed more than five competitors to become my subordinates. I don't have any special skills. What I am best at is Winning people's hearts." The eldest cousin said proudly.
"Then you are a bit similar to Zhou Xiaoyu, but Zhou Xiaoyu is not as smart as you." Xu Taiping said.
"Brother Xiaoyu is at the boss level, how can I dare to compete with brother Xiaoyu!" The eldest cousin scratched his head shyly.
"After the business here really starts, Xiaoyu will not be as good as you. No matter how powerful Xiaoyu is, he is just a big brother in the world, and you are an arms dealer. This is a different level of existence." Xu Taiping shook his head.
"Really? Then if I really start doing it, will I be able to be brothers with Brother Xiaoyu after I return to China?" The eldest cousin asked excitedly.
"Of course you can, you can call me brother or sister." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"I don't dare to do this. Brother Xu, you are my boss. No matter what I do, you will still be my boss!" The eldest cousin said, patting his chest.
"Stop showing your loyalty, you still have two days." Xu Taiping said.
"Yeah! I understand. I have already thought of a countermeasure and can deal with Benzema tomorrow!" the eldest cousin said seriously.
"Very good, I'll wait and see."
A night of silence.
The next day, my eldest cousin got up early and left the Champs Elysées Hotel with Xu Taiping.
"Where are we going?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Let's go have morning tea." The eldest cousin said with a smile, "I know there is a morning tea shop, the taste is very good."
"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just having morning tea?"
"What else?" The eldest cousin said with a smile, "I have always been fond of morning tea. I have been looking for this morning tea shop for a long time. Brother Xu, please follow me. I will never let you down."
"Okay!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.
The two of them drove a car and walked north from the Champs Elysees Hotel. After walking for about half an hour, the two of them arrived outside a Cantonese-style teahouse.
The decoration of this teahouse is still very Chinese-style. It was nine o'clock in the morning. The eldest cousin took Xu Taiping into the teahouse. Xu Taiping found that the business of this teahouse was not good.
There was no one in the teahouse, only a few people were having morning tea, and these people who were having morning tea all looked fierce, and some of them even had pistols on their waists very openly!
What kind of teahouse is this? This is clearly a place where members of a certain gang gather!
The eldest cousin didn't seem to see all this. He found a seat and sat down, then raised his hand and called, "Waiter, bring the menu."
A waiter came over with a slight frown, glanced at the older cousin and said, "What... do you want to eat?"
"Two portions of Shaomai, one portion of chicken feet, two portions of steamed pork ribs..."
The eldest cousin named several dishes in one breath. The waiter stood aside and listened, and the fierce people around him stopped eating and all looked at the eldest cousin.
"You really know how to choose a place." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"That's not true." The eldest cousin said with a smile.
Not long after, the eldest cousin finished his order, and the waiter turned and left with an expressionless face.
About twenty minutes later, the waiter walked over pushing a dining cart.
There were several drawers of things on the dining car, and traces of steam came out of the cage.
The waiter placed these things on the table in front of Xu Taiping, and then said, "A total of one hundred and ninety-eight euros."
"Okay." The eldest cousin took out two hundred-denomination bills from his pocket and handed them to the waiter, saying, "No need to look for them."
The waiter nodded, then turned and left.
"Come on, eat, Brother Xu!" said the eldest cousin.
Xu Taiping didn't know what kind of medicine his cousin was selling in the gourd, but he took it anyway.
"Eat slowly." My eldest cousin said with a smile. "If you eat too fast, you won't be able to feel the deliciousness of the food."
"The food here tastes very average." Xu Taiping said.
"It should taste better if you eat it slowly." The eldest cousin said.
Xu Taiping nodded and slowed down.
The two of them ate this breakfast for a full hour.
The eldest cousin has a big appetite. He ordered three times and finished every time.
Xu Taiping ate less because, to be honest, the food here did not suit his appetite.
After finishing the food on the table for the third time, a group of people suddenly walked out from the edge of the hall.
There were seven or eight people in this group. They surrounded a man in his forties or fifties in the middle and were walking out of the restaurant.
"Brother Xu, let's go too." The eldest cousin stood up with a smile, then walked a few steps towards the gate.
Xu Taiping also followed his eldest cousin, and the two of them walked to the door together. As soon as they reached the door, the group of people walking out from the edge of the hall also walked to the door.
Xu Taiping and the others just happened to walk out of the restaurant one after another with the group of people. Then Xu Taiping saw his eldest cousin smiling and nodding towards the group of people. This action was very secretive and also It was so fast that the group of people didn't notice the eldest cousin's action. Then, the eldest cousin took Xu Taiping to the car they parked next to them, got in the car, and left, very chic.
