The old man really didn't have any money. According to him, he could probably earn three to four thousand yuan a month by making shoes for people, and those who asked him to make shoes were mostly the lowest class of society. The old man would make them a pair of shoes for around ten to twenty dollars, which was enough for them to wear for three to five years.
This way, the old man would be able to earn money. In a place like the capital, living expenses of three to four thousand yuan a month were really only enough to keep him warm and full.
Xu Taiping often told the old man that quality couldn't be good, because once quality was good, it couldn't be broken. The elimination cycle was too long, and the profits were too small.
The old man had told Xu Taiping that if the quality of his things were poor, then no one would buy them. Then the elimination cycle would only last for a lifetime. The pros and cons, naturally, would be clear.
Then, he realized that every time he went to look for the old man to make shoes, the old man would ask him to go to a nightclub and spend a few thousand yuan for a few pairs of shoes. At this time, he felt that the old man was actually quite shrewd, just like an egret.
Compared to Mengmeng, Han Xiangxi, who drank with Xu Taiping was rather snobbish, and this could be seen from her name, because out of the ten non-mainstream people, eight liked to use this name, while the other one was usually called Han Ruoxi or something like that. In any case, they would have to bring the word "Han", "Xi" or something like that, feeling that it was pretty awesome.
This Han Xiangxi was rather good-looking. He had a big chest and a good waist. He told Xu Taiping that she had a mission today even though she hadn't had many cups of wine. How many gifts would she receive for the mission?
Xu Taiping didn't lack money like the old man. Therefore, every time Han Xiangxi went on stage, Xu Taiping would send him a hundred yuan worth of flowers as a form of praise.
It was strange that Mengmeng, who drank with the old man, didn't go to other people's table to drink, but rather took quite a lot of flowers from other people's table. On the other hand, Han Yunxi, who drank with Xu Taiping, basically had to drink at various places every time she got off the stage, but in the end, only Xu Taiping would bring her flowers.
Although he was unhappy, Han Yunxi still had to accompany Xu Taiping with a smile on his face. After all, Xu Taiping was the only one who was willing to give her a present, and of course, this five or six hundred yuan present in the evening couldn't even be worth bringing along our beautiful Han Yunxi. After all, Han Xiangxi was someone who had received tens of thousands of flowers in one night, so if he wanted to slap her, he would have to deal with those potential customers.
Of course, Han Yunxi had wrongly accused Xu Taiping, who never planned to bring her out to play. In any case, everyone came out to play, the most important thing was to be happy. That would depend on fate and how they felt about each other.
Even compared to Xia Jinxuan's acquaintance with that noble woman who wanted to take care of him that night, he still felt that she wasn't as charming.
In Beijing, where there were more people and more money, a bottle of wine that cost three to five hundred dollars could be auctioned for tens of thousands of yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan. If there were a few families that moved out of their houses with alcohol, the price could be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Xu Taiping and the others treated these things like watching a show.
In the blink of an eye, it was two o'clock. The moment when the atmosphere in the bar was at its best was at that moment.
"I'm going up to dance. Tonight's mission is almost done, I still lack five hundred yuan, that's the price of a crown. Wait for me when you're done, let's go eat supper together, shall we?" Han Yunxi blinked, revealing her chest to Xu Taiping as she spoke pitifully while leaning against him. One of her hands was still on Xu Taiping's thigh as she caressed him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's settled. Five hundred yuan will be given to you when you go and dance!" Xu Taiping waved his hand and said.
"Yes, thank you, dear!" Han Xiangxi kissed Xu Taiping's face excitedly, leaving a red smudge on his lips. Then he turned and walked back onto the stage.
"You are really willing to spend money. People think of you as a key! " The old man crossed his legs and said as he held a cigarette in his mouth.
"Kaizi is Kaizi, where is there not a pattern in life? Several hundred dollars for someone else's happiness, isn't that also good? " Xu Taiping laughed.
"You're really free and easy." Mengmeng, who was at the side, smiled and said, "People who send us gifts usually want to have something happen with us. However, it seems like you don't have that kind of thought."
"Where is so much that can happen? You're not the main character of the story, you're not the second generation of the rich, you're not handsome either, you're just a little loser, you're the kind of guy who doesn't even dare to make a sound when he's on the road. Why do you have to be interested in us? You gave me eighteen hundred yuan, and I smiled at you and played with you for an entire night. It's worth it. Don't have too many unrealistic thoughts, otherwise you'll be able to live a happy life. " Xu Taiping laughed.
"Well said." The old man laughed heartily as he slapped Xu Taiping's thigh, "Brat, I like you more and more. Let me think, I seem to have a great-grandson and daughter, and she's almost 30 this year. I don't seem to have a boyfriend yet, do you want me to introduce her to you?"
"Oh come on, I, the old man, called you pretty well. I didn't plan to call you grandpa." Xu Taiping rolled his eyes, then called a waiter over, sending another five hundred yuan of crown to Han Yunxi on stage.
The DJ in the bar shouted out thanks for the support of Director Xu's five hundred yuan crown. The scene was filled with whistles. Han Xiangxi held the crown in his hand and bowed towards Xu Taiping's seat with a smile.
Xu Taiping waved his hands in a very respectful manner.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly ran onto the stage with a silver robe and handed it over to Han Xiangxi.
Following that, he shouted with all his might, "Thank you, our VIP 6 room's Boss Sun, for sending our beautiful Han Yunxi a cloak worth 5200 yuan, 5,200 yuan. Is this a confession from me?!"
The place buzzed again with whistles and the sound of ceremonial cannons. The ribbons flew into the sky as Han Yunxi bowed deeply towards the VIP room.
After the dance ended, Han Yunxi came down from the stage and walked straight into the VIP room, not even sparing Xu Pingping a glance.
"I'll call a sister over. You can just send her a flower later, don't send too much." When Mengmeng saw that Xu Taiping was alone all of a sudden, she picked up her phone and said.
"You're really nice to me, old man. Why did you run into such a nice girl?" Xu Taiping said in envy.
"I've said it before, charisma and charisma!" The old man said indifferently, "My charisma is not something you can understand. Mengmeng, you're right."
"Yes, old grandpa." Mengmeng giggled and said, "I like people with your personality."
Not long after, Mengmeng's best friend, Xiao Bei, arrived. The names of the girls in the nightclub were all literary, and Xiao Bei was a skinny girl. Although she wasn't as good-looking as Han Yunxi, she had a straightforward personality and drank half a glass of pure foreign wine with Xu Taiping and the old man.
Just as the wine was about to be finished, a waiter came up onto the stage with a bottle of wine. At the same time, a singer appeared on the stage. He could also be considered a host.
"And then there's our exciting auction." The auctioneer said loudly, "The next item for auction is a bottle of blue ribbon with 6 catties inside. This is 6 catties, so it's worth 1088 yuan for our bottle. Now that the price starts at 1 dollar, we'll be earning it!"
"Let's not buy any wine for now. Look at this." Xu Taiping was just about to swipe his card for wine when he saw that there was a foreign wine auction, so he brought his card over.
"If I can get this bottle of wine for 10,000 yuan, it would be worth it." Mengmeng said.
"Let's see how lucky I am." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
A foreign wine with the starting price of one dollar naturally couldn't be sold for just one dollar. Very quickly, the price came to eight thousand yuan.
This price was 2000 dollars cheaper than buying in the store, but the people who were calling out the price had become very few. Only two tables were still calling out.
When the price reached nine thousand, there would only be one table left.
"Nine thousand five hundred." Xu Taiping raised his hand and said.
"CEO Xu from Ka 5 bids 9,500, thank our CEO Xu!" the host shouted.
"Nine thousand nine hundred." The person who had called out the price earlier shouted out.
"Ten thousand." Xu Taiping said.
"Ten thousand. Our card's CEO Xu has bid ten thousand. Is there anything else you want? Our bottle of wine is priced at ten thousand and eighty-eight dollars. Buying it below this price is just earning money!" DJ shouted.
No one raised the price, because there was a difference of eighty dollars between buying in a bar and buying in a bar, so they might as well just buy in a bar.
Xu Taiping bought the six catties of wine at a cheap price of eighty yuan. The waiter brought the wine over, and Xu Taiping paid for it with his card. Then he started to build it. It was time for Mengmeng to dance again.
Mengmeng greeted the old man and Xu Taiping before walking onto the stage.
The old man still had no plans to spend money, and Xu Taiping had no plans to spend money for the old man either. The two of them began playing guessing games with Little Bei.
Mengmeng was dancing on the stage with a smile on her face.
At this moment, another silver cloak was brought onto the stage.
"Thank you, thank you, our financial backer, Boss Sun of WeiP6 private room has once again gifted you the 5200 yuan worth confession cloak of love. Thank you, Boss Sun, Mengmeng, for coming with Boss Sun tonight!" He teased.
Mengmeng smiled and bowed in the direction of the private room. After the music finished, she walked off the stage, but didn't immediately enter the VIP 6 private room. Instead, she walked over to Xu Taiping's private room and said a few words to the old man and the rest before walking into the VIP 6 private room.
After entering the room, Mengmeng was the same as Han Xiangxi before; she no longer came to Xu Taiping's room.
Xu Taiping, the old man, and Little Bei continued to drink. They weren't affected by this, after all, the reason the girls went all out to drink was for a little money. This guy's already very interesting, don't tell me you want to stop him from making money?
