Overview

Bull in a China Shop is Vlad Glebov's first mission in Grand Theft Auto IV and introduces taxi rides and throwing objects. Vlad wants Niko to collect protection money from a shop owner who has stopped paying, without hurting him. Vlad offers a baseball bat, but Niko says he has his own methods.

Vlad, despite his insults, seems to like Niko and trusts him with the job. He wants the shop owner scared but unharmed, because a dead debtor cannot pay. Niko refuses the baseball bat, preferring his own methods, which sets up the intimidation scene.

Walkthrough

  1. Meet Vlad at the Comrades Bar on Mohawk Avenue in Hove Beach.
  2. Hail a taxi or drive to the shop.
  3. Throw an object such as a brick through the shop window to scare the owner.
  4. Go inside and intimidate him until he pays up.
  5. Bring the money back to Vlad.

Tips

  • Pick up an object with the action button and aim at the window before throwing.
  • Do not attack the shop owner if you can avoid it; the goal is intimidation.
