[Episode 6]

12
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:36,230
You spent so much money,

13
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,760
but only brought me these?

14
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:40,200
Yan Zijing colludes

15
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,040
with the head of Guangzhou's guild
Pan Xinglu,

16
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,480
and buys Guangzhou's stock of pearls

17
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,310
in bulk with treasure jewelry.

18
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:48,480
Yan Zijing appears to backstab us

19
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,070
and force Cui's Pearl Farm to die.

20
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:51,760
Cui's Pearl Farm can be considered one

21
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,640
of the top merchants
in the jewelry industry,

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,350
so how can we be under the control

23
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:56,230
of a nobody from Western Regions?

24
00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:57,400
Did my brother write back after I

25
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,310
asked you to write to him?

26
00:01:58,790 --> 00:01:59,560
Not yet.

27
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,240
So what if he's powerful now?

28
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,190
Relationships in this place
are deeply intertwined,

29
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,630
and everyone has his or her own path.

30
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Cui's Pearl Farm has been here
for years,

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,910
so he should know something about it.

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,630
Let's go meet Yan Zijing.

33
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:24,470
Yes.

34
00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:33,960
Lady Shijiu is no worse than a man.

35
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,470
As a woman, you show up

36
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,030
and dedicate yourself
to the family business.

37
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:40,750
I admire that.

38
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:43,280
Men and women are both born
and raised by their parents,

39
00:02:43,590 --> 00:02:44,680
so what's the difference?

40
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:47,630
Master Yan is a business wizard.

41
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:49,470
How can you be so biased?

42
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,470
I'm sorry if I'm being rude.

43
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:59,400
Do you realize you're about
to be in big trouble?

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
I'm just a law-abiding businessman,

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,120
so why would I be in trouble?

46
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,840
You bought the pearls at a low price,

47
00:03:14,150 --> 00:03:15,310
but you don't know

48
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:17,590
that the pearls are needed
by Special Envoy Xu,

49
00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:21,520
who is highly respected by Prince Tan.

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,840
If you have offended him,

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,560
how can you continue to trade here?

52
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,150
So in your opinion,

53
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:29,240
how can I make amends?

54
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:36,080
If you can offer the pearls

55
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,240
to Special Envoy Xu

56
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840
and we persuade him in your favor,

57
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,280
then the problem can be solved,

58
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:48,080
and Special Envoy Xu
will surely promote you.

59
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,080
Offer it to him?

60
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,520
I thought you came here today

61
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,840
to talk business with me.

62
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:08,750
Business is a transaction.

63
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Offering him pearls
is an expression of your loyalty,

64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,520
so it's more important than business.

65
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:16,630
If you have contacts in officialdom,

66
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:18,630
you won't fear
any business difficulties.

67
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,630
The official world might be
better suited to the Cui family.

68
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:24,120
I am a stupid businessman

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,870
who is profit-oriented.

70
00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:28,120
You're so smart

71
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:31,390
that you predicted
we'd get involved in officialdom.

72
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:32,720
In that case, name your price.

73
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,240
I like that.

74
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Kang Ju.

75
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:46,800
I have

76
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,360
many pearls,

77
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,560
but

78
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:51,480
I don't dare sell them.

79
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,870
A Qizhen pearl

80
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:54,560
is worth two million mace.

81
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,310
If it's a tael pearl plus a Babao pearl,

82
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,240
it's worth 2.2 million mace.

83
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,510
Are you having a price hike

84
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:01,160
because you think Master Shijiu
doesn't know the market?

85
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160
The price of jewelry
depends on the market,

86
00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:04,800
so why is this a price hike?

87
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:06,800
You're just being quibbling.

88
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,070
You think we...

89
00:05:07,070 --> 00:05:07,800
Tong.

90
00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:09,630
Don't lose your manners.

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Lady Shijiu.

92
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,630
Since you are no worse than any male,

93
00:05:12,630 --> 00:05:15,510
I need not be too polite to you.

94
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,070
If you can't make the decision,

95
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,160
then ask the head
of the Cui family to step in

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480
so as not to break the rules

97
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560
or influence the market.

98
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:26,430
Since I'm sitting here,

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,600
I can make a decision
for the Cui family.

100
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:31,560
You hoard commodities so much,

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,830
so aren't you afraid
of losing everything then?

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,560
I won't bother you with that.

103
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:41,160
This price

104
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,950
is very good.

105
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:45,360
Of course.

106
00:05:52,190 --> 00:05:52,630
Look at that.

107
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:53,510
What's that?

108
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:54,720
What's that?

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,600
That's the fabric store.

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,920
There, the fabric store.

111
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,270
It's beautiful.

112
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:03,800
Look at that.

113
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,430
It's awesome.

114
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,310
There's a fire show over there.

115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,310
You can try it.

116
00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:16,360
Sir, I'll take these.

117
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,310
Come on, you can try some.

118
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:18,830
Give me a few more.

119
00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:19,430
Which one do you want?

120
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:19,920
This one.

121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,390
Okay.

122
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:21,310
Give me one of these, please.

123
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:21,870
And this one.

124
00:06:21,870 --> 00:06:22,510
No problem.

125
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,600
Duanwu, give me one.

126
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,830
It's so good.

127
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:25,680
It's delicious.

128
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,190
Please come and take a look.

129
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:28,160
Come. Look at the hairpin.

130
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:28,830
Look. This is a nice hairpin.

131
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:29,870
There's also rouge here.

132
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,510
If you like it, you can try it on.

133
00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:33,240
This one is beautiful.

134
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:34,000
I'll try it on for you.

135
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,040
There's a bronze mirror.

136
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,630
It's beautiful.

137
00:06:36,630 --> 00:06:37,510
I'll try this on for you.

138
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:38,070
Come on.

139
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:41,190
It's nice.

140
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,430
How much is it?

141
00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:42,870
It's nice.

142
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:44,630
It's made of pure coral.

143
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,630
50 cash.

144
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,680
How much is it?

145
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,190
50 cash.

146
00:06:49,190 --> 00:06:49,720
Wait a minute.

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,750
It's obviously coral trimmings,

148
00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:53,040
so how can it cost so much?

149
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Stop.

150
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,040
Are you buying?

151
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Yeah, sure.

152
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:02,430
Let's go somewhere else.

153
00:07:02,430 --> 00:07:03,310
Duanwu.

154
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:03,750
Let's go somewhere else.

155
00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:04,360
Let's go.

156
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:07,190
Go that way.

157
00:07:07,190 --> 00:07:07,720
Let's go.

158
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,310
Let's go.

159
00:07:08,310 --> 00:07:10,040
Shrimp.

160
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,680
OK.

161
00:07:12,510 --> 00:07:14,040
Special Envoy Xu is really not here.

162
00:07:14,310 --> 00:07:15,190
Master Shijiu, please return.

163
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:16,190
Master Shijiu.

164
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:17,360
This...

165
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:20,190
Special Envoy Xu's place is so noble

166
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,240
that even Cui's Pearl Farm
doesn't deserve to be here.

167
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:24,040
Xu Lin.

168
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,870
You can tell lies

169
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:28,070
or put on airs

170
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:29,600
elsewhere,

171
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,070
but why do you dare

172
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:34,950
to stop Master Shijiu even here?

173
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:37,480
Ask Master Shijiu to take his seat.

174
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,270
Aye.

175
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:41,680
I was uninformed,

176
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,270
so I apologize to you.

177
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:44,750
Please be seated.

178
00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:48,390
I came here today

179
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:50,040
because I had a chance

180
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:52,040
to try this pastry
and thought it was good.

181
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Then I brought it here

182
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,920
for you to try it.

183
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,430
I am new to Guangzhou,

184
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:05,800
so I rely on your help.

185
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:07,160
After all,

186
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,160
I don't know what I should do

187
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,630
if something happens to the Cui family

188
00:08:10,630 --> 00:08:11,630
and involves you.

189
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,160
Master Shijiu, you are overstating it.

190
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,920
You also know that I

191
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:19,480
have always favored the Cui family,

192
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,270
but lately,

193
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:23,830
Zhang Jinran
has been keeping an eye on me.

194
00:08:24,190 --> 00:08:26,720
If I insist on

195
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,560
favoring you for a while,

196
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,920
I may

197
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,750
be criticized and hindered.

198
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,550
Regarding Zhang Jinran,
I'll do something.

199
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:37,150
I like dealing with smart people.

200
00:08:37,630 --> 00:08:38,320
You're just in time.

201
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:40,870
In a few days, come with me

202
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:42,080
to meet the head of Guangzhou's guild.

203
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,150
Yes, sir.

204
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,270
Thank you, Special Envoy Xu.

205
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:48,080
See you later.

206
00:08:49,550 --> 00:08:51,870
I suddenly remembered something

207
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,150
and would like your help.

208
00:08:55,550 --> 00:08:56,870
Please let me know

209
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:58,000
if you need anything.

210
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,360
I recently

211
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:06,030
acquired a white jade Guanyin

212
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,960
and would like to dedicate it
to Prince Tan as a birthday gift,

213
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:10,200
but it lacks

214
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,840
a pearl lotus flower base
to complement it.

215
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,510
It's a pity that it's not as beautiful

216
00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:18,000
as it should be.

217
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:21,750
Special Envoy Xu.

218
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:23,750
The immediate priority is

219
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:24,910
to resolve the matter
of the tribute pearls.

220
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:26,390
Aren't we working

221
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:28,790
on your tribute pearls?

222
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,510
Prince Tan's needs are no small matter,

223
00:09:32,510 --> 00:09:36,150
so the pearls must be
of the highest quality.

224
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Don't worry.

225
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,270
I will pay

226
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,510
for the pearls.

227
00:09:41,510 --> 00:09:42,910
Think of it as me

228
00:09:42,910 --> 00:09:45,270
buying them from Cui's Pearl Farm.

229
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,550
Of course.

230
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,200
See you.

231
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,870
Buy?

232
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,440
When has he ever paid for anything?

233
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,360
What a greedy vampire.

234
00:10:07,550 --> 00:10:08,600
But we have no choice.

235
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,080
Now the tribute pearls are imminent,

236
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,750
so I still need this treacherous guy

237
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:14,320
to maneuver through it for me.

238
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,270
After this is over,

239
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,440
we can't have any more dealings
with this man.

240
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:19,750
Aye.

241
00:10:48,030 --> 00:10:48,630
Shrimp.

242
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,750
Shrimp.

243
00:10:54,510 --> 00:10:55,240
Shrimp.

244
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,670
Come on.

245
00:11:03,550 --> 00:11:04,120
Come on.

246
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:05,240
Look.

247
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,960
Does this look like a peach blossom?

248
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,320
Yes, it does.

249
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:13,270
Doesn't this look better than the one
we saw on the street?

250
00:11:14,390 --> 00:11:15,200
Look.

251
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,630
If I add a little more tassel

252
00:11:17,630 --> 00:11:19,030
down this branch,

253
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:20,030
do you think

254
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:21,670
this hairpin will look good?

255
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,080
Yes,

256
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,440
but Duanwu,

257
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,670
why did you draw this?

258
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,790
You mean this?

259
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,390
I want to make hairpins.

260
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:33,150
Since we have jewelry,

261
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,870
we can just make a hairpin

262
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,120
out of this scrap jewelry.

263
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,670
Some girls will love it.

264
00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:43,480
But now,

265
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,840
we only have these jewels.

266
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,750
What can we use

267
00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:48,750
for the main part?

268
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:54,960
Wood?

269
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,630
Wood will crack in water,

270
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,200
so wood definitely won't work.

271
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:09,200
Duanwu, wait a minute.

272
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,790
What's this?

273
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,200
It's old ship wood.

274
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Duanwu, don't underestimate it.

275
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,200
old ship wood

276
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,240
is top hardwood.

277
00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:28,750
Soaked in seawater,

278
00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:30,790
it'll never get soaked or cracked.

279
00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:32,670
Then I'll try it with this.

280
00:12:35,550 --> 00:12:36,150
Look.

281
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:36,840
Duanwu.

282
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,870
Help me...

283
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:38,630
Duanwu.

284
00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:40,030
Dear Hu, why are you still up?

285
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:41,510
I heard

286
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,600
that Overseer Cao received

287
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,270
the Coral Pearl trafficking assignment
from Assistant Pang

288
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:46,840
and was allowed
to enter the trading convoy

289
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:48,670
after the job was done.

290
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,270
Why would someone

291
00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:53,240
as shrewd as him

292
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,390
keep this greedy lapdog with him?

293
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:56,910
Coral Pearl?

294
00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:01,390
Thank you.

295
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,840
I think Coral Pearl

296
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,630
might be a good way for us.

297
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Hello, Accountant Wei.

298
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,080
Hello, Assistant Pang.

299
00:13:26,630 --> 00:13:27,480
Assistant Pang.

300
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,790
Sorry to bother you.

301
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,000
I heard Overseer Cao say

302
00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:34,510
he's selling Coral Pearl for you.

303
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:36,630
Can I try?

304
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,750
What?

305
00:13:38,390 --> 00:13:40,150
You want to sell Coral Pearl?

306
00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:42,600
It's Coral Pearl,

307
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,360
not scrap.

308
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:45,870
If you lose it,

309
00:13:45,870 --> 00:13:47,670
you'll suffer more than a whipping.

310
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:49,870
It would kill you.

311
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,720
My life isn't worth much,

312
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:53,960
so I hope you'll give it a chance

313
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,840
and let me try.

314
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,030
Whether you care
about your own life or not,

315
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,510
you have to know the product first.

316
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,960
Have you seen

317
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,030
Coral Pearl?

318
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:16,120
Is Assistant Pang selling
this batch of Coral Pearls?

319
00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:17,910
It's dyed

320
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,870
and inferior.

321
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:20,080
It's worthless.

322
00:14:21,390 --> 00:14:22,000
Duanwu.

323
00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:25,360
Do you want to join the trading convoy?

324
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:25,960
Of course.

325
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,030
It's not up to me.

326
00:14:35,510 --> 00:14:36,240
Not up to you?

327
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,080
But Overseer Cao said

328
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,510
it's your call

329
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,550
to join the trading convoy.

330
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:44,870
When did I say that?

331
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:45,670
Everyone in the lower deck knows that.

332
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,390
Overseer Cao is a slave,

333
00:14:47,390 --> 00:14:48,440
even though he's the head.

334
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,030
If you don't keep your word,

335
00:14:50,030 --> 00:14:51,630
the slaves in the lower deck
will know about this

336
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,240
and the whole ship

337
00:14:53,630 --> 00:14:54,750
will be unsettled.

338
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:55,630
Duanwu, you know what?

339
00:14:55,630 --> 00:14:56,390
Assistant Pang.

340
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,630
A businessman

341
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,240
must keep his word

342
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,390
after saying something.

343
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:04,870
Makes sense.

344
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,390
How about this?

345
00:15:06,390 --> 00:15:08,270
Whoever gets the order first

346
00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:09,750
joins the trading convoy.

347
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,550
Thank you, Assistant Pang.

348
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Thank you, Accountant Wei.

349
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,870
Also,

350
00:15:15,870 --> 00:15:19,960
I'm going to bring out a box
of fine Coral Pearls.

351
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,750
It costs 200,000 mace to buy,

352
00:15:22,270 --> 00:15:25,390
so its selling price should be
at least 500,000 mace.

353
00:15:33,150 --> 00:15:35,480
We know you love incense,

354
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:38,960
so we have prepared
a small gift for you.

355
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,630
Please accept it.

356
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,510
I've seen

357
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:51,200
a lot of nice things

358
00:15:51,870 --> 00:15:52,960
along the way

359
00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:55,320
from Chang'an to Lingnan,

360
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:57,200
but I can't get enough

361
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,750
of the Lingnan Pearl.

362
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,080
I'm glad you like it.

363
00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:05,550
But recently, I heard that some people

364
00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:07,240
want to compare
Western Regions colored stone

365
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:09,750
with Lingnan pearls.

366
00:16:10,910 --> 00:16:11,910
Is this true?

367
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,080
The seniors of several jewelry stores
and I

368
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,440
did recently purchase a batch
of Western Regions colored stone.

369
00:16:22,910 --> 00:16:24,510
After Hepu's accident,

370
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:26,630
the pearl market is slightly depressed.

371
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,550
Colored stone is a rarity locally.

372
00:16:29,870 --> 00:16:32,200
But even so,

373
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,440
it's a minority item

374
00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:36,440
and not of grace.

375
00:16:38,510 --> 00:16:39,320
Mr. Pan.

376
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:42,630
You've just become
the head of Guangzhou's guild,

377
00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:46,600
so it's best not to rush into things

until you know what's going on

so you don't end up
making everyone unhappy

or bringing shame to Lingnan Pearls.

You're right.

382
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:02,270
Lingnan pearls are rare,

383
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:04,310
so I don't want them all

384
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,830
to fall into other people's hands.

385

she was a plague on her husband.

so I pray
to the South Sea God every day.

448
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,110
Perhaps because South Sea God

449
00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:19,750
was moved by my devotion,

and sets up their own torture chambers.

524
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,680
The lives of slaves are nothing,

525
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,880
and no one cares about them.

526

jumping out of the water

Today, I'm overthinking,

542
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,750
but I sincerely hope you

543
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:18,720
don't do anything against your will

for anyone or anything.

545
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:23,070
I know.

Today,

547
00:24:29,830 --> 00:24:30,960
I didn't do the right thing,

548

but I can't help it.

549
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,070
Mr. Zhang, I can't help it.

550
00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:39,440
I wanted to sell Coral Pearl
to Zhuobao House,

551
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,240
but I'm new here,

552
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,590
so why would they do business with me

553
00:24:44,590 --> 00:24:46,110
or trust me?

554
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,200
Noble people will do what is right.

555
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:50,960
A businessman will say nice things

556
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,960
in order to make a profit.

557
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,640
Yan Zijing

558
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,160
spent ten taels of pearls

559
00:24:56,510 --> 00:24:57,720
to start a pearl poetry gathering.

560
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,350
It's the same thing

561
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,880
as your promotion of Blessing Red Coral,

562
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,310
but you can only fool some people
for a while

563
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,590
if you use blessing as a gimmick.

564
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,590
If Lady Wu doesn't get lucky later

565
00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:11,030
and gets angry,

566
00:25:12,790 --> 00:25:14,350
will she hold it against you?

567
00:25:16,550 --> 00:25:17,920
Yan Zijing's business

568
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,830
is a deadly fight.

569
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:24,550
It's too aggressive,

570
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,070
but Duanwu, you're different.

571
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,510
You have to keep your heart true.

572
00:25:31,270 --> 00:25:31,960
A utilitarian approach

573
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,480
won't last long.

574
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,720
If you are sincere

575
00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:37,640
with Lady Wu just now,

576
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:39,920
maybe she'll give you more business

577
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:41,550
and become friends

578
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:43,510
with you later.

579
00:25:50,270 --> 00:25:51,030
She won't.

580
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,270
How can someone

581
00:25:57,030 --> 00:25:58,720
like me be her friend?

582
00:26:01,110 --> 00:26:02,070
You will.

583
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,920
Today,

584
00:26:06,350 --> 00:26:07,680
you told me the truth

585
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,550
about Cui Ding,

586
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:11,550
so we are still friends.

587
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:22,350
But how can I apologize to Lady Wu?

588
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,000
I'm just like you.

589
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,590
The fortune teller said
I'm a plague on my husband.

590
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,750
That fortune teller...

591
00:26:29,270 --> 00:26:30,310
Is it really her destiny?

592
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:39,510
Come on.

593
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,350
Thank you.

594
00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:41,920
Come again. See you.

595
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,200
Miss, what kind of clothes do you want?

596
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Ma'am,

597
00:26:56,590 --> 00:26:58,480
do you have any fine clothes?

598
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,200
A new shipment just arrived today.

599
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,880
Come on. Take a look.

600
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,350
This is the most fashionable fabric

601
00:27:10,350 --> 00:27:12,310
and the latest style.

602
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:14,640
All the famous nobles here want it.

603
00:27:14,830 --> 00:27:15,550
Do you like it?

604
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,880
That fortune teller
is only for the rich.

605
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,160
Yes.

606
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,400
Yes.

607
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Madam.

608
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,720
Could you rent it to me for half a day?

609
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,200
We sell all our clothes here.

610
00:27:34,030 --> 00:27:34,960
Miss.

611
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,680
Are you going to see your lover?

612
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,510
No.

613
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:40,920
I want to make amends to a lady

614
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:42,350
by doing something for her.

615
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Okay, then.

616
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,270
Since you want to make amends,

617
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,110
I'll do what you want this time,

618
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,720
but please keep it safe.

619
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,400
Let me wrap it up for you.

620
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:00,400
Here you go.

621
00:28:31,270 --> 00:28:32,160
Lady Wu.

622
00:28:35,270 --> 00:28:36,310
I'm Duanwu.

623
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,160
I'm...

624
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:37,790
What?

625
00:28:38,110 --> 00:28:39,270
How dare you even come to my house?

626
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,270
It's not what you think.

627
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,400
I've come to apologize to you.

628
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,480
I did have the wrong idea today

629
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:50,310
and wanted to approach you
with the red coral.

630
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,400
I'm one of Yan's Trading Convoy,

631
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:53,830
so I have Coral Pearl

632
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,510
and want to sell it to Zhuobao House.

633
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,110
That's why I did such a stupid thing

634
00:28:58,110 --> 00:28:59,270
and made you sad.

635
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:01,720
I'm very sorry.

636
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,720
You're honest,

637
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,400
but my father is in charge of business,

638
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,160
not me.

639
00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:10,350
You're talking to the wrong person.

640
00:29:11,030 --> 00:29:12,350
It's not about business.

641
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,880
It's not about business

642
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:19,110
or red coral.

643
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:22,750
It's about you.

644
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:25,830
I want to help you.

645
00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:33,110
Do you think I'll ever trust you again?

646
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,720
I was born with bad luck,

647
00:29:36,350 --> 00:29:37,480
so it's no wonder
you've come to lie to me too.

648
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:47,480
I'm sorry.

649
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,720
I'm really sorry.

650
00:29:54,110 --> 00:29:56,750
I know you're a little depressed,

651
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,750
but I'd like to say

652
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,110
that luck doesn't depend

653
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,720
on things

654
00:30:10,270 --> 00:30:11,000
but on people.

655
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,720
Please believe me

656
00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:18,640
for the last time.

657
00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:04,240
Master.

658
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,640
Master.

659
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,480
My friend is the ninth daughter
of the Pan family.

660
00:31:22,830 --> 00:31:25,400
I'm a distant cousin
of a jewelry shop in Guangzhou.

661
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:28,000
I've heard that you're skillful
in reading fortunes,

662
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,200
so I've come

663
00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:31,240
to ask you to read my fortune.

664
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,880
You are good-looking.

665
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,830
I can tell you're from a rich family.

666
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,720
But there's a curse

667
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,720
on your forehead,

668
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,830
so you're destined for a disaster.

669
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,960
Master,

670
00:32:03,270 --> 00:32:04,110
what is it?

671
00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:14,400
Miss.

672
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,960
The fairy said

673
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:17,310
your husband

674
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,720
died because of you.

675
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:32,550
I knew

676
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,070
I caused my husband's death.

677
00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:37,640
If I had known I would live

678
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,590
such a lonely life,

679
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,400
I should have died with you.

680
00:32:45,550 --> 00:32:46,480
Is that okay?

681
00:32:52,270 --> 00:32:54,110
Don't be too sad.

682
00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:56,240
Your husband...

683
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,480
My husband was most worried

684
00:32:58,510 --> 00:32:59,720
about me before he died.

685
00:33:00,510 --> 00:33:01,720
Now he has passed away,

686
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,960
but he is still worried about me.

687
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,680
Today, knowing I've come
to ask for your help,

688
00:33:06,030 --> 00:33:07,550
he came with me.

689
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:08,960
Came with you?

690
00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:15,200
My husband

691
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,030
is right behind you.

692
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,480
How dare you be so rude?

693
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,880
I've never been married,

694
00:33:24,790 --> 00:33:25,960
so how could I have a husband?

695
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,480
Aren't you the ninth daughter
of the Pan family?

696
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,590
Why do you know about
the ninth daughter of the Pan family?

697
00:33:30,070 --> 00:33:31,350
I'm just a slave.

698
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,590
Knowing some news

699
00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:33,720
of famous families,

700
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,160
you're swindling everywhere.

701
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,590
And you told Lady Wu's fortune

702
00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:37,750
and said she was a plague
on her husband.

703
00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:38,720
Of those two,

704
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,240
one fell off a horse
and the other died of disease.

705
00:33:40,590 --> 00:33:41,830
What does that have to do with Lady Wu?

706
00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:42,960
Do you know how many rumors

707
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,350
she suffered because of you?

708
00:33:44,350 --> 00:33:45,830
Are you really telling fortunes?

709
00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:47,200
You're trying to kill people for money.

710
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:53,510
Miss.

711
00:33:53,510 --> 00:33:55,920
My fortune-telling in the past
was pure nonsense.

712
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,110
I was just making some money.

713
00:33:58,110 --> 00:33:59,110
Please spare me.

714
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,310
Please spare me.

715
00:34:00,310 --> 00:34:02,480
Don't dirty my clothes.
I'll give it back.

716
00:34:06,590 --> 00:34:07,480
Get her.

717
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,510
Let go of me.

718
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:12,760
Please spare me.

719
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,550
You're a fraud
and a disgrace to the gods.

720
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:15,550
Take her to the official.

721
00:34:15,550 --> 00:34:16,190
Yes, Madam.

722
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,550
Please forgive me.

723
00:34:17,550 --> 00:34:19,920
Please forgive me.
I won't dare to do it again.

724
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,320
Lady Wu.

725
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,110
You saw that just now.

726
00:34:27,070 --> 00:34:29,880
I wish you all the best in the future.

727
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:33,590
Goodbye.

728
00:34:39,190 --> 00:34:40,070
Duanwu.

729
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:51,440
How are your new clothes?

730
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Don't worry.

731
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,360
It's not dirty.

732
00:34:55,710 --> 00:34:56,840
I can return it.

733
00:35:01,230 --> 00:35:02,590
Thank you.

734
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,440
I'm not in a position
to accept your thanks.

735
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,230
It's my fault in the first place.

736
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,150
I should apologize.

737
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,360
I'm sorry to say that,

738
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,630
but a woman shouldn't be bound

739
00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:17,480
by her so-called destiny.

740
00:35:19,150 --> 00:35:19,880
Remember.

741
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:21,760
Don't look back.

742
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,510
Dark clouds can't hide the sun.

743
00:35:35,230 --> 00:35:35,960
From now on,

744
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,000
you don't have to wear a veil.

745
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:47,550
Do you still want to sell Coral Pearl?

746
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,880
Thanks, Dad.

747
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:00,510
Duanwu.

748
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:06,920
Thanks, Mr. Feng.

749
00:36:07,630 --> 00:36:08,630
Thanks, Lady Wu.

750
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,710
This is my first order

751
00:36:13,070 --> 00:36:13,960
in my life.

752
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:15,760
If this sells well,

753
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,030
I'll come back and order from you.

754
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,000
Okay,

755
00:36:19,630 --> 00:36:20,230
Duanwu.

756
00:36:21,110 --> 00:36:23,320
You can call me Wu from now on.

757
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,190
Wu.

758
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,840
Mr. Feng, we...

759
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:34,880
This is...

760
00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:37,670
Don't break it.

761
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:38,360
Duanwu.

762
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,400
You...

763
00:36:45,150 --> 00:36:47,030
This is the slave on our ship.

764
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:48,360
It's the same if she signs it or I do.

765
00:36:48,670 --> 00:36:49,800
It's not the same.

766
00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:52,150
Duanwu negotiated this order with me.

767
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,550
Duanwu.

768
00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:10,960
30% of the profits

769
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,070
from slave Duanwu's jewelry
and other items

770
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:17,960
go to Yan's Trading Convoy.

771
00:37:20,110 --> 00:37:21,840
Is this true?

772
00:37:26,070 --> 00:37:27,400
A deposit from Zhuobao House.

773
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,670
We can deliver the goods tomorrow.

774
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:30,320
Do you still think

775
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,760
this is false?

776
00:37:32,070 --> 00:37:33,150
It's great.

777
00:37:34,590 --> 00:37:35,670
I sold Coral Pearl,

778
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,400
so can I enter the trading convoy?

779
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,400
This requires Master's approval.

780
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,590
Master's approval?

781
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,400
We had a deal,

782
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,480
and that's not
what you told Overseer Cao.

783
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,960
Master's approval?

784
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,190
When will he approve?

785
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:50,400
Wait a minute.

786
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:51,960
It's...

787
00:37:53,150 --> 00:37:54,510
No way.

788
00:37:54,510 --> 00:37:56,360
You're being greedy on both sides.

789
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,360
You're selling goods
under the trading convoy name

790
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,400
while stealing from the trading convoy

791
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,440
to sell your own goods to your clients.

792
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,630
I'd like to know
how she explains about this.

793
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,030
The mica on the hairpin

794
00:38:09,230 --> 00:38:10,670
is scrap that I bought.

795
00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:12,440
The wood on the hairpin

796
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,800
is old ship wood
that was abandoned on the ship.

797
00:38:16,510 --> 00:38:17,510
Why do you say it's stolen?

798
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,800
Even if these were yours,

799
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,230
you sold them

800
00:38:21,230 --> 00:38:22,030
under the name of the trading convoy.

801
00:38:22,030 --> 00:38:22,920
30% of the sales

802
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,920
of these things

803
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,070
have been agreed upon to be divided
amongst the trading convoy.

804
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:27,030
It is very clear.

805
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:27,360
I...

806
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,230
Stop.

807
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,840
It's no one else's fault
if you can't sell.

808
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,030
At Yan's Trading Convoy,

809
00:38:32,030 --> 00:38:33,670
whoever can sell is the boss.

810
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,510
Overseer Cao,

811
00:38:36,510 --> 00:38:38,550
if you like this pin, tell me.

812
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,440
I'll make one in your size,

813
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,190
okay?

814
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,000
Don't forget

815
00:38:48,670 --> 00:38:49,440
to let me into the trading convoy.

816
00:39:03,110 --> 00:39:05,550
It's really difficult
to invite Master Yan.

817
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,110
Special Envoy Xu
sent out the invitation,

818
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,320
so how dare I disobey?

819
00:39:09,630 --> 00:39:12,440
Master Yan, you've been

820
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,760
so successful and popular

821
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,190
in Guangzhou these days

822
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:16,230
while

823
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:18,150
I've been having

824
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:20,230
a hard time.

825
00:39:21,110 --> 00:39:22,030
You are flattering me.

826
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,760
Haven't you already instructed Mr. Pan?

827
00:39:25,590 --> 00:39:26,630
However,

828
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,630
business is business.

829
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:31,000
Since we placed the order
and signed the contract,

830
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,630
we have to act
according to the contract.

831
00:39:33,070 --> 00:39:33,840
Special Envoy Xu.

832
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,150
Are you keeping an eye
on the jewelry shop

833
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:37,880
in Guangzhou for the officials

834
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,590
to mess up your own business?

835
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,230
The business of jewelry in Guangzhou

836
00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:50,110
belongs to jewelry shop owners

837
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,230
instead of me.

838
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,400
That was my mistake.

839
00:39:55,230 --> 00:39:57,510
But Master Yan, are your recent moves

840
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,510
for monopolizing the Guangzhou market,

841
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,280
suppressing Lingnan pearls

842
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,630
with Western Regions colored stone,

843
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,590
and messing up
the local jewelry business?

844
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:09,550
Even if there is no
Western Regions colored stone,

845
00:40:09,550 --> 00:40:11,550
Hepu pearls cannot be handed over.

846
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,800
When you talk about others,

847
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,000
you'd better see if you've taken care
of your own business first.

848
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,400
We are here for a drink.

849
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,710
We don't have to

850
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,320
talk business now.

851
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:21,800
Come on.

852
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,150
Master Yan has come a long way,

853
00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:34,190
so I must not let you go home
empty-handed.

854
00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:35,230
For this,

855
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,280
I'm well aware,

856
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,840
but Hepu Pearl is a local industry,

857
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:43,510
and you want a piece of it.

858
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,840
You're too ambitious.

859
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,710
This is my only shortcoming.

860
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,800
Businessmen are driven by profit,

861
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,230
but yes,

862
00:40:53,110 --> 00:40:54,510
I want Western Regions colored stone

863
00:40:55,630 --> 00:40:56,710
and pearls.

864
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,590
Western Regions colored stone

865
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,400
and pearls?

866
00:41:02,670 --> 00:41:05,840
Fortunately, my words carry weight

867
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,590
in Guangzhou's jewelry industry.

868
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,110
So you mean...

869
00:41:12,030 --> 00:41:15,070
Three days from now
is the South Sea God Festival.

870
00:41:15,070 --> 00:41:16,480
According to local customs,

871
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,550
we have to place a high-priced treasure
at the bottom of the lake,

872
00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:20,070
and then

873
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,630
it's Shark Hunting.

874
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,400
What is Shark Hunting?

875
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,760
Each party can send their skilled men
to pretend to be sharks

876
00:41:28,230 --> 00:41:29,440
and go into the water
to capture the treasure.

877
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,110
The winner is the one
who gets the treasure

878
00:41:31,590 --> 00:41:33,070
within half an incense stick's time.

879
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:34,510
I know

880
00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:37,030
that both of you

881
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,840
want full rights

882
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,280
to the purchase of Hepu Pearls,

883
00:41:41,630 --> 00:41:43,880
so let's use Shark Hunting

884
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,150
to determine

885
00:41:45,150 --> 00:41:47,590
who's qualified.

886
00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:49,110
Okay?

887
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:52,960
No problem.

888
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,670
I just love

889
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,480
taking someone else's treasure.

890
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,110
I've paved the way for you.

891
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,230
The rest

892
00:42:10,030 --> 00:42:11,550
is up to you.

893
00:42:13,630 --> 00:42:15,030
Don't worry.

894
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,920
On that day, the bottom of the lake
will be covered with sharp blades.

895
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:24,280
Participants are responsible
for their own lives.

896
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,110
At Shark Hunting,

897
00:42:25,110 --> 00:42:26,670
Cui's Pearl Farm will win.

898
00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:29,000
Anyone who tries to go

899
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,280
against us will disappear.

900
00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:33,710
Xu Nanying wants to help Cui's Pearl Farm
buy tribute pearls

901
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,800
and use Shark Hunting to force me out,

902
00:42:39,070 --> 00:42:40,710
but how can I let him do that?

903
00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:42,510
Our trading convoy
is full of northerners.

904
00:42:42,510 --> 00:42:43,590
They're not good swimmers,

905
00:42:43,590 --> 00:42:45,000
so they don't stand a chance

906
00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:47,110
in the water.

907
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,230
In this South Sea God Festival,

908
00:42:56,590 --> 00:42:57,590
Master Yan intends

909
00:42:57,590 --> 00:43:00,840
to select slaves for Shark Hunting.

910
00:43:01,110 --> 00:43:03,510
If you can capture the treasure,

911
00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:05,480
you will regain your freedom

912
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,550
and

913
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,320
can take this one million mace
to live a good life.

914
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,630
That much money?

915
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,070
