The so-called slum managers are actually not within the country's system. They are probably non-governmental organizations where local poor people gather together for warmth. However, judging from the industry they are engaged in, they are actually more like criminal gangs and gangs.

What they call "empty hook, empty hook" basically means leader or boss in local dialect.

And the child who was accidentally hit by a prop truck or a shanty because he picked up a ball and broke into the filming scene was hit by an empty hook.

This time it was really successful and smashed.

It was quite troublesome. When Han Lan arrived at the scene with the consul and local managers, the crew was already surrounded by a crowd of civilians, including a few AKs.

The security personnel of the production crew also built a cordon with guns and vehicles to protect the crew in a small circle while confronting the slum armed forces.

The translator's voice was almost hoarse, and he helped Yang Jie try to negotiate with Kong Hook.

However, judging from the situation, it is obvious that the two parties have not reached an agreement.

The local managers dared to mediate because they were armed with guns. Negotiations here do not depend on whether your suit is in good shape, but all on whether you have many guns. People who do not have enough guns are not qualified to be on the negotiating table.

"Oh, you are finally here!"

Seeing the consul, Han Lan and others coming in, Yang Jie could finally breathe a little easier and hurried to greet them.

"what happened?"

"Hey, don't mention it! We were filming, and a little kid appeared out of nowhere, and the car hit a pile of debris and was buried."

"What about the child?"

"The child is fine. He was pressed into a small space at the time. When he was dug out, he suffered some skin injuries. The medical staff of our crew have helped bandage them."

"Then why did you create such a big battle?"

"How do I know! Damn it, they want us to pay a million dollars in compensation. If we don't pay, they won't let us go." Yang Jie felt aggrieved. "Damn, when you go abroad, you will meet some troublemakers. Isn't it just a scratch?

What are you asking for? How dare you ask for one million? Have they ever seen so much money in their lives?"

"And the main responsibility does not lie with us. It was the kid who broke in on his own! We made it clear to them when we rented the filming location that we would use explosives, which are very dangerous. We asked their people not to run in randomly. As a result,

The accident still happened...sigh..."

"Okay, I probably understand the whole story. By the way, where is the child now?" the consul asked.

"After bandaging, let them pick me up."

"..." Consul.

"..." Han Lan.

"What's wrong? I can't help it. They were so excited at the time that they fired warning shots in the air. If we didn't let him go, they might think we had kidnapped his son."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to them. However, I guess they have to pay some compensation for medical expenses." The consul was a little speechless, but he still tried his best to help him solve the problem.

"Understood, we have no problem paying normally, but I can't afford to pay them if they ask for one million!" Yang Jie said aggrievedly, watching the consular officials walk towards the local administrator.

Then seeing Han Lan frowning next to him, she smiled and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, Brother Han, our consul has taken action, and everything will be fine."

"Of course nothing will happen. Just be prepared to spend money to eliminate the disaster." Han Lan patted him on the shoulder in turn, "No matter how powerful the consul is, he still has to reason with others. Now the child is not in our hands. If someone says he is seriously injured, he will be seriously injured.

, I'll die if I say it. Hehe, I guess it's not worth hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The exact amount of compensation depends on the consul's ability and our family's influence in this area."

"What? This...can't be done?"

"Brother Jie, the most indispensable thing here is corpses. When the time comes, if a child's corpse comes out and asks you for money, don't even think about doing an autopsy. People don't understand this, so they just act rogue. What can you do?"

"Hey... this is crazy..." Yang Jie felt as if his heart was about to burst, "Brother Han, is there any way to pay less? This is such a blackmail!"

Han Lan glanced at him and nodded: "I have a way without having to pay."

"oh?"

"Kill out."

"..." Yang Jie.

Han Lan was not joking with him. Before going to the consul, he put AK on his back, and with Li Mingbo, they were both ready for battle.

Chen Kang and Joseph didn't let them follow either. One was useless in fighting, and the other was prone to trouble.

Anyway, Han Lan had experience with this kind of thing in his previous life. He didn't need to find anyone to help mediate every time. He could just kill the person's empty hook with one shot and kill him.

Haha, with just a few broken guns, do you really think you are a warlord?

…

The negotiation at the front is still going on. Although I can't hear or understand what they are saying, the consul looks confident, talking and arguing with reason. The empty hook on the opposite side is also holding a pistol and shouting, and he bangs the table at every turn.

.

The local manager who accompanied him straightened his hat and didn't want to interrupt. He only nodded in agreement with the consul occasionally. He was here mainly to ensure the safety of the consul. If something happened to the consul, it would become a diplomatic dispute.

.

Suddenly, with a "Bang!" sound, the empty hook shot into the sky again!

People on both sides were instantly at war with each other.

Han Lan silently turned on the insurance: "Brother Jie, prepare to fight out."

"..." Yang Jie felt like he was about to burst.

At this time, the consul in front also came back with a livid face.

"Comrade, how's the negotiation going? How about we pay for it?" Yang Jie really didn't want to start a fight, not that he was afraid of death, but mainly because there were so many people in the crew.

"The other party insisted on it, saying that the child was frightened. In the end, we could only talk about one thousand, and I tried my best." The consul sighed lightly.

"???"

One million talks about one thousand?

It turns out that you are the boss who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!

"Oh, by the way, we will use RMB for settlement." The consul patted Yang Jie on the shoulder and emphasized.

"..." Yang Jie.

"..." Han Lan.

In his previous life, he mixed around and became a mercenary. Later, when something happened, he didn't dare to come forward to his hometown, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. This time, Han Lan finally saw it.

Han Lan doesn't know about other places, but at least here, it's really awesome.

Let’s not talk about who is mainly responsible. Even if we encounter this kind of thing in China, it cannot be settled with a thousand dollars.

Do I have to pay for medical expenses? Do I have to pay for nutritional expenses? Do I have to pay more for the child’s mental damage because he is timid?

"Brother Jie? Do you want to give me money? Or... kill me?" Han Lan asked.

"..." Yang Jie.

Do you think I am stupid?

If you really follow your approach, not to mention whether there are any casualties, the bullets fired along the way are probably worth more than a thousand yuan!

After weighing it with his feet, Yang Jie finally chose to spend money to eliminate the disaster. He tried his best to pay the 1,000 yuan in communist compensation with a straight face, and then left the slum smoothly with the crew.

There was no difficulty in filming the slums the next day. People knew very well that they could extort money as much as they wanted. This business mainly consisted of venue rental and commissions for extra performers.
