Hunting

Episode 12

You just got in

and you earned a commission

of 10,000 Yuan?

Are you keeping it from me? Say it.

Brother, I bought stocks.

You know I work in economics investigation.

Stock is not bad thing.

I am not blaming you for

getting to know new things.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be worried.

Why should I be worried?

Exactly. Nothing for you to worry about.

Which stock did you buy?

How much was it when you bought in? Let me analyze it for you.

Kerui, the trending one.

It was around 10 Yuan when I bought it.

It has gone to more than 50 now.

I have earned 40 Yuan per share.

Kerui?

I didn't sell it all.

I sold a few hundred out of 10,000 shares.

Guess how much I earned. Around 10,000 Yuan.

Once Gankejing is officially released,

the price will double.

You bought in for 10 Yuan,

you bought 10,000 shares.

So you paid 100,000 Yuan. Where did you get that money from?

Jinyuan Securities

Brother, it's alright.

Listen to me.

Sell all your stocks and take the money back.

Can I sell it after I earn some more?

Kerui's stocks are still going up.

Miao Miao, don't be stupid.

Think about it.

Why would Manager Zhao lend the stock to you?

I think he is a nice person.

He told me he was from a small city, too.

I reminded him of his old self.

So he wanted to help me out. What's wrong about that?

If the stock goes down,

how are you going to repay him?

I asked him. He said this is risk-free.

He will take the loss. I can have the gain.

You are not a kid.

Do you think it's that simple?

That's more than 100,000 Yuan.

What amazing thing did you do

to make him give you money?

He did if for your connections.

If you take his money,

Tao Tao's granddad and I

will be tied up.

Brother, do you have the vocational disease?

You think everyone is a bad guy.

Miao Miao,

we are only ordinary people.

It's not easy to have a life like this. Cherish it.

You must understand one thing. There are things that we can do,

and there are things that we shouldn't do.

This is one of the things that we should never do.

Brother,

I want to honest with you.

Ever since I got to Beijiang,

a lot of people looked down on me.

They think I am a classless bumpkin

from the countryside.

But once I earned money

they immediately treated me so differently.

Including the salesperson at the mall,

and the broker at the agency.

They even look at me differently.

Brother,

I don't want to be looked down at.

Miao Miao, I know

you have suffered a lot because of me.

I am sorry to you.

Brother, stop mentioning the past. I am your sister.

I am willing to suffer for your sake. I have no complaints.

Let me honest with you, too.

I am willing to do the best things for you.

This is not negotiable.

Sell the stock, get the money, and pay him back.

Get off the car.

Please come in.

Manager.

Jianqiu, what can I do for you?

Manager, I am sorry.

I have sold all the shares you gave me.

This is the principal and the gain.

This is the 10,000 that I spent previously. It's all here.

Please take it.

Why so rushed? Anything happened in your family?

No, it's not about my family.

I just felt uneas

about having this money.

Please take it.

Alright.

But I can't take all of this money.

I told you when I lent it to you,

the gain goes to you.

Here, I will take this, and you take that 10,000 Yuan back.

No, no, no. I can't take this, either.

I can't. You shall take it back.

Jianqian, what does this mean?

We had an agreement.

I was doing you a personal favor.

I meant nothing else.

Did I do anything wrong that upsets you?

No. Manager, don't take it the wrong way.

I am very grateful.

But I can't

take the money. I just can't.

Please take it.

Alright, I will take it.

Manager, one more thing.

Do tell.

Can you write me a receipt

now that I have given it back to you?

Of course I should write one.

Your brother told you to do this, right?

No. It was my intension.

It has nothing to do with him.

I shall have a talk with him if possible.

Think about it,

outsiders like us who came to Beijiang,

we don't have any connections.

We should help each other out.

Otherwise, no one will help us.

- Done. - Manager.

Right.

You must put a thumbprint for the receipt.

Here, this is good enough?

Manager, I am sorry.

I didn't think it through previously.

It's alright. We are all clear now.

Let's pretend that it didn't happen.

Okay?

Don't overthink it.

Thank you, manager.

Yang Jianqiu returned ¥556,000

You didn't mention me, did you?

I will keep this for you.

Are you upset?

Miao Miao, all of this is for your best interest.

It's for your own.

What's wrong?

Did you know that Director Yang Jianqun of Economics Investigations

was here today? I ran into him.

He said it's for personal matters. I wonder if he was investigating.

I know why he came.

You know?

A while ago, I gave Yang Jianqiu 10,000 shares of Kerui's stock.

I told her that she can keep the gain and I will take the loss.

Just to get closer to her.

But Yang Jianqun had his sister

sell it all, and give all the money back to me,

both the principle and any gains.

They are quite cautious.

That's not the point.

Think about it. He told his sister to sell it now.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that

Kerui is under investigation?

That's right. It must be that.

Haiqing, I told you to push Kerui to pay back the loan.

Don't worry. I will do it now.

Do this after the meeting later.

Alright.

Sales Department

The Securities Regulatory Commission might be investigating Kerui.

It was fun today.

Transactions suddenly increased at noon,

but the price went down.

Obviously, someone was selling in bulk.

But the price drop

recovered immediately. Must be individual investors.

Selling?

Brother, was it Wang Bolin?

Who else can it be, other than that sly fox?

Brother, the small to medium investors are still buying in.

Looks like Kerui is going well.

It's about time. Sell them all.

Sell? How many?

All. It's time to reap.

Brother, what's our next step?

- Hello? - Chairman Wang.

What you did was not very appropriate.

You sold it all when I was trying to maintain the price.

You know me. Safer is better.

Safer is better.

Alright.

When do you have time to meet?

We need to discuss our next step.

No problem.

I will be waiting in my office.

Chairman Wang, Teacher Hao is here.

Teacher Hao, long time no see.

You've got a lot of free time, Mr. Wang.

Of course, the price has been going up lately.

What a leisurely life of just counting your money and watering your plants.

I can have all this time thanks to you.

Alright, let's talk business.

Even though we have launched the idea of Gankejing successfully

and increased the share price, we should both know

that Gankejing alone can't give Kerui longterm growth.

I said it before,

I want to build a complete business chain through Kerui.

The chain must be based on Kerui.

Even though the pharmaceutical business is of windfall profits,

the research and development period is still a loss process.

What trick can you pull?

While the concept brought forth by Gankejing is still fresh,

we should use the trust that the market has in Kerui

to get funding and expand Kerui.

Teacher Hao, we have already profited once from Kerui's stocks.

Are we going to do it again?

It's only a matter of time for the Securities Regulatory Commission

to investigate us.

Kerui will be under strict supervision from now on.

Are you playing games under supervision?

That's why I visited you today.

Mr. Wang, Gankejing didn't receive the

certification to be sold on the market, did it?

We have put in so much money and effort,

but the R&D still failed.

I saw that coming.

Kerui now has no new story to tell.

After the hype over Gankejing is gone, Kerui's prices will drop.

Teacher Hao,

I am scared now.

I want to stop.

When will you be satisfied with the money you've earned?

We should quietly sell it all

while the market is still alright.

If what happened to Qian Cheng happens again,

I won't be able to take it.

Mr. Wang, our business

is just starting, but you want to abandon it?

Stop, stop.

I play safe. I don't have such an ambition as you.

Come on.

I knew Kerui has no new story,

so I brought one here for you.

New story? Tell me about it.

We can kill Kerui and bring it back to life,

and build a new start for our chain.

The Securities Regulatory Commission and the National

Medical Products Administration are interfering.

Perfect.

We will announce that the new product's R&D failed and that Kerui will be bought out.

By then, the price will drop, while we

can switch to a new company

and play this game one more time.

What's my role in your new story?

I am afraid you will have to sacrifice a little.

Afterall, Kerui will face M&A, so you will have to resign from your position.

But don't worry,

the people we are going to use are only a cover.

You will still be the only one to operate Kerui.

Actually, I know you won't just on this plan.

I am your cover, too.

You are just using my mouth to spell out your plan,

using my hands to put it together. But I don't mind

for I know that

although you have your goal,

I have my dream.

We will just take what we want.

Teacher Hao, oh, Teacher Hao.

You are meant for big things.

Alright, let's do what you said.

Dear investors...

The CEO of Kerui, Wang Bolin, will be attending...

He is here!

Chairman Wang!

Not long ago, Kerui announced that the development of Gankejing was a success.

Is that true?

The new drug Gankejing's development was successful. Can you make some comments?

Please sit down, everybody.

Take a seat.

Thank you, friends of the media,

for coming to our information conference.

Actually, we have been holding company emergency meetings for 3 days.

After careful evaluation,

I will announce this news now publicly.

Our new product, Gankejing, after being examined by professionals,

has failed

because of clinical trials.

Failed?

But you already announced that it succeeded.

That's really irresponsible.

What's the reason for the failure? Can you elaborate?

Right, explain it.

Chairman Wang, tell us!

Chairman Wang, will this information affect Kerui's stocks?

Right! Can you elaborate?

- Explain! - Will it have an effect?

How is it possible!

God!

You all know that

Gankejing is our Kerui's top project,

but unfortunately,

after discussion with professionals,

this drug proved to be unable to launch.

We have no other option but to abandon this project

to find a way to keep the company.

Otherwise, we would fail investors' trust.

What is this?

I lost so much.

But there must be a person to take responsibility for this incident.

I now announce that

I, Wang Bolin, will resign from the board.

I will resign my position of chairman,

in order to

show my sincere apology

to our investors.

Chairman Wang! How could you do this?

How could this be?

Teacher Hao,

Kerui went up so much previously.

Are you willing to let it all go at this critical point?

Chief Ma, to people like me,

money is just a number.

Of course, this number has its meaning.

Some in math terms,

some in non-math terms.

Do tell, I will listen.

For example, the number 1...

In terms of math,

it's the beginning of the numbers. However...

In Daoism,

it's the beginning of the world.

One produces two, two produces three, and three produces the world.

To many people right now, Kerui is zero.

But not for me.

It's 1 to me.

The 1 that can create the world for us.

Us?

Of course.

Chief Ma, our business will always rely on you.

We didn't cause you any losses before.

The investment you introduced

has been doubled in our hands.

But we have come to an important time.

I will fulfill my promise

if your friends want to retrieve their investment.

They will have their principle and profit.

But whoever trusts me

can keep the money in the game

and invest it in our new business.

I promise I won't fail our friends.

Looks like, Teacher Hao, you are very confident.

Don't worry.

I will pass down your message.

I believe they won't fail you, either.

I knew it.

It's so light and easy to talk with people with long-term visions.

Let me be honest with you.

We have a thorough plan already.

Chairman Wang has approved it also.

We now are going to turn Kerui into an investment company.

The capital market

always requires new ideas.

Coincidentally, we have the ability to

continuously provide new and exciting stories.

But for this time, Chief Ma,

we want you to show up

and tell this story with us.

Me?

What can I do?

You have used up all my value.

Stop kidding.

Chief Ma, a business needs its leader.

Obviously, Chairman Wang is no longer a fit for that position.

But you are different.

Your experience guarantees you to be an extraordinary businessman.

Kerui will be merged soon.

It will come back to the capital market in a new form.

That growing new company needs you to lead.

We are inviting you

to be the chairman of the board of our new company.

Chairman Wang resigned out of the blue.

I didn't see it coming.

But let me be honest with you, Xiaoqiang.

I have been retired for 3 years. I just wanted to live an easy life.

What you said is quite a big deal for me.

I wasn't mentally prepared for this.

It's okay. Take your time and sleep on it.

We will give you plenty of time to consider it.

I have a meeting to attend. I must leave now.

Of course.

- We will be waiting to hear from you. - Sure, sure.

Hello, sorry, Old Ma.

I got caught in something so I couldn't make it over there.

How was it? Did he tell you?

He told me everything.

He told me to sleep on it.

I agree that you should.

Someone must be our spokesman.

Chairman Wang, I feel like Hao Xiaoqiang is too aggressive.

I feel uneasy.

It's alright. You've got me.

Do you think he was able to pull this off by himself?

- Alright. - Alright.

We will talk when we meet.

We have widened up the search area to 5 kilometers.

Why can't we find him?

Hello?

Okay, I got it.

- Bad news. - What?

Wang Bolin has resigned.

Resigned?

This is what I was worried about the most.

He is so sleezy.

He took action before we started investigating him.

What about Kerui's stocks?

It will drop, for sure.

What happened to Qian Cheng's suicide might happen again.

What should we do now?

Let's go. We need to check out the securities market.

- Xiaohui. - Is Teacher Hao here?

Teacher Hao? He went out.

Can you contact him? I need to see him.

Contact him! I need to see him!

- Hello? - Hello, Teacher Hao?

Manager Yu wants to see you.

- Let her come by. - Got it.

Manager Yu, I will take you to him.

I'll go with you.

Hello, Lei?

I got it.

Lei called. They need backup in Sanling.

- I shall head down first. - Brother Yuan.

If you're busy, you can go ahead.

I can handle my work on my own.

But I am worried about you.

It's alright. I will call you if anything happens.

Alright, be careful.

I will come to your place after this.

Let's go, Little Liang. I'll go now.

Manager Yu, Teacher Hao is in there.

Thank you.

Teacher Hao.

Teacher Hao.

Teacher Hao.

What's wrong? You look so anxious.

Why did you come all the way here to see me?

Teacher Hao, did you know Kerui's stocks plummeted?

I know.

Are you okay? How much did you lose?

I didn't lose. I sold them all.

You sold it?

Before it dropped?

All of it.

You sold them all before it dropped?

You knew it would drop?

Kind of.

What do you mean?

Isn't that manipulating the market?

I call it "using the trend".

You are quibbling!

You are manipulating the market!

What happens to the dreams you were talking about?

Is it your dream to scam people of their money?

Do you know what that money means to them?

It's their wedding money, medical money, and retirement money!

What's wrong with you?

You have been in the market for such a long time.

Stocks grow and drop. That's the rule.

This is the risk they were willing to take. Don't you understand that?

Under a fair condition!

They lost their money from information asymmetry!

You do have ambitions.

You have a great plan.

Why do you have to let them pay for it?

Fairness.

Does absolute fairness exist?

Yu Xiaohui, tell me,

if it does, please explain to me

what it looks like.

Every great plan requires sacrifice.

We just have a different point of view.

Follow me.

Are you worried about Xiaohui?

Of course. But what else I can do? The case is more important.

Right.

I would be worried too if my girlfriend hangs out with another guy.

How can I not overthink?

That's not what I am worried about.

I am worried about her safety.

Take today for example.

Her workplace

looked like a battlefield. People even besieged her.

If we were late and they hurt her,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

Why don't you tell her to switch jobs?

She gets angry every time I try to talk about

this. There's no way we can discuss this.

I don't know why it's like she became bewitched since

she got this job. Won't listen to anything I say.

I think it's necessary for you to talk about it again.

She might change her mind

considering what happened today.

Here. There were many developers who visited this piece of land.

But it's too rural

and lacks supporting facilities, so it's still untouched.

Now I am here.

In a short time, it will become Beijiang's biggest nursing home.

For now, just forget all your customers, those investors who've lost money.

Look at here.

Look at our entire generation,

our generation of 80s and even 90s kids.

In the next few decades, our generation

will be the ones who build our country.

But they are facing the same difficulty.

Approximately every family will have to support four elders at the same time.

Have you thought about it?

We are both in this generation.

If one day our parents get sick

and they can't move due to old age,

how much time will it require us to take care of them?

By that time, how will we

teach our kids?

How will we have time to build our careers?

How could we even think about our dreams?

So it's only a start.

From here,

I will solve our generation's problem for good.

I will set them free

to create our era.

I know that I'm a man of many flaws.

I know my perspective is ahead of our time.

I know not many people will understand.

I know many of my ideas

verge on the illegal.

But I know what my plans are.

Soon, nursing homes like this

will be all over China.

Right after that, there will be all kinds of high tech,

biopharmaceutical, modern agriculture, mobile

communication, and even aerospace companies.

I have never thought about giving up Kerui.

I was just remodeling it.

I was just trying to build it into a new form.

I will make it the perfect tool to achieve our dreams.

So this market drop was not manipulation, it was a tryout.

If you are truly worried about your investors,

if you're truly worried, then go tell them

to hold their Kerui stocks until the end.

As long as they are able to hold it,

I can make the share price go up

and higher than before.

Beijiang Development Bank

Miao Miao, what's up?

Nothing.

I just wanted to apologize to you.

I shouldn't have been mad at you the other day.

What's wrong with you?

Haven't you seen the news?

Kerui's stocks plummetted. People lost so much.

If it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't even have the money to repay Manager Zhao right now.

Brother, you have such good foresight.

We are so lucky.

That's not luck. That's a close call.

I know.

I did what you said and stopped before I got too far in.

Brother, don't be mad at me.

I know you're doing everything for my best interest.

You are the best brother in the whole universe.

I want to ask you this.

Who else at your company has bought Kerui's stock?

A lot. Kerui's so popular, so who didn't?

I ran into my manager earlier. He was lucky, too.

He sold it at the highest price so he didn't lose money. He bought many shares.

But many of my colleagues bought it, too.

They didn't buy too many shares, but they didn't sell them in time.

They are stuck now.

I got it.

Remember, do your job and nothing else.

I know, I know. I will do my best.
