Bull in a China Shop is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Vladimir Glebov from Comrades Bar.

Mission

Niko enters Comrades Bar and talks to Vladimir Glebov. He tells Niko that there is a shop owner who owes protection money to him, and wants Niko to scare him. He offers him a baseball bat, but Niko says he has other ways to scare people.

Niko takes a taxi to the Chinese shop and, from outside, talks to the owner. The owner refuses to pay Vlad, so Niko decides to get a brick and smash the window with it. The owner gets out and gives the money to Niko. Niko calls Vlad to inform him, goes back to the bar and gives the money to Vlad.

Reward

The player gets $50. In addition, taxi rides are now available.

Trivia

The mission's opening cutscene marks the introduction of two minor characters that may appear as random characters later in the storyline: Mel, who leaves the bar drunk, and Ivan Bytchkov, who is also seen leaving after ending a meeting with Vlad.
If you break the shop's window before going to the marker, the shop owner will have different dialogue

+'''Bull in a China Shop''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Niko Bellic]] by [[Vladimir Glebov]] from [[Comrades Bar]].
-[[Niko Bellic|Niko]] meets [[Vladimir Glebov|Vlad]] at the [[Comrades Bar]] over on [[Mohawk Ave]] (across the street from the [[Hove Beach]] safehouse). During a cutscene, Niko and Vlad converse.  Vlad, despite repeated insults, actually seems to like Niko, and trusts him enough to send him out on a mission. Vlad asks Niko to deal with an a china shop owner who owes Vlad protection money. Vlad asks Niko to not hurt the man, but to get the money. The scene ends with Vlad offering Niko a [[Baseball Bat]].
+== Mission ==
+[[Niko]] enters [[Comrades Bar]] and talks to [[Vladimir Glebov]]. He tells Niko that there is a shop owner who owes protection money to him, and wants Niko to scare him. He offers him a [[baseball bat]], but Niko says he has other ways to scare people.
-Head outside and jack a car. Then, begin to head over to the china shop, located on Compton Avenue and Dukes Street. When you arrive, get out of your car and head in. You'll find the owner of the establishment, who immediately acts belligerent. Remember, though -- Vlad told you not to hurt him, so don't! Instead, the game will guide you to a nearby green waypoint marker, where you can pick up a brick amongst a pile of rubble. You may throw the brick through one of the store windows, or you can shoot at them with any weapon.
+Niko takes a [[taxi]] to the Chinese shop and, from outside, talks to the owner. The owner refuses to pay Vlad, so Niko decides to get a brick and smash the window with it. The owner gets out and gives the money to Niko. Niko calls Vlad to inform him, goes back to the bar and gives the money to Vlad.
-Another way to scare the shop owner is not to go into the yellow marker when you get there and instead go to the other side of the street. Take out your [[sniper rifle]] and shoot one of the windows beside the door. Note that this will change the cutscene where the shop owner exits the store.
+== Reward ==
+The player gets [[Money|$]]50. In addition, [[taxi]] rides are now available.
-Once the store owner gets scared enough to choke up the money, Niko will call Vlad up on the phone and let him know about his success.  He'll then be ordered back to the bar to give up the money.  The [[GPS]] will, once again, get you to your location easily.  Once back at the bar, you can get out of the car, enter, watch the finalizing cutscene, and give Vlad his cash.
