[The Justice]

[Episode 34]

First of all,

I'd like to propose a toast to you.

Congratulations on

your appointment as Chief of the 2nd Division

of the Army Staff

to better serve the Emperor

and achieve greater success.

My promotion

couldn't be achieved without your help.

Thanks to you,

the legal tender has been devalued by half.

I'm flattered.

Mr. Huang,

we need your cooperation on one matter.

Go ahead.

The international media

have paid close attention to China,

especially Shanghai.

Whether they report on the Chinese sections

with goodwill

and praise

is very important.

So Major General Liu

wants you to temporarily shut down

opium dens, gambling houses

and brothels.

Please understand.

I will cooperate with

any request from Major General Liu.

I wonder

how long they will be closed.

Three months,

or maybe longer.

That's all right.

I can also take some time off.

Cheers.

Major General Liu, I heard

you're preparing for

the establishment of the Central Reserve Bank.

If that's true,

I'd like to get involved in it.

After all, I'm familiar with

monetary and banking industries.

Well,

I suddenly thought of someone.

Mr. Huang, do you know

a female banker

named Wu Lizi?

There are many financial magnates in Shanghai.

Wu Lizi

is just a nobody.

I'm afraid she doesn't deserve

the title of female banker.

Is she a nobody?

Yes, she is.

If you want,

I can introduce you to

the general manager of Sanxin Bank,

Mr. Liang Fubin.

Sanxin Bank has a long history and abundant capital.

Mr. Liang

has been managing the bank for 18 years.

And he has close relations with the Four-Bank Joint Office

and the Bank Association,

so it'd be beneficial to connect with him.

I'd like to offer advice to you,

which can disrupt the inland economy

and seize inland materials.

Please go ahead.

Please hold on a second.

Legal tender?

[Central Bank 100 yuan]

Come in.

Chief Wu, a letter for you.

The post office is in a mess now.

The letter was not put in the mailbox,

but was left at the gate.

It looks dirty.

[To Wu Lizi]

It doesn't matter.

The envelope is dirty,

but the letter inside is fine.

It's not just dirty.

Look at the postmark.

This is a letter from six months ago.

I know.

You may leave now.

Alright.

Chief Wu,

please allow me

to call you Miss Lizi again,

because what I want to say to you

has nothing to do with work.

When you read this letter,

I will have left Shanghai.

You must be confused

why I

terminated cooperation with Cheng Yizhi,

and suddenly withdrew from

Rebang Bank.

I should tell you the truth.

It was jealousy that made me lose my mind.

Miss Lizi,

you are in love with Cheng Yizhi.

Even though you're divorced, you still love him.

I understand how you feel.

Just because of this,

my pride

made me unable to accept

his help and protection.

Miss Lizi,

I think Cheng Yizhi

still loves you, too.

He still loves you after divorce.

Whenever I told him about you,

he was calm and generous.

But there was always

a pain in his eyes

that I couldn't understand.

I don't understand

exactly why you split up,

but I want to say

you are the ones

I miss most in Shanghai.

If you can open your hearts

and get back together,

then I think

there's still hope in troubled times.

Miss Lizi,

go after him bravely.

[Xu Shu]

Don't give up.

Just try one more time.

Xu Shu.

♫ An age of blossom ♫

♫ Affectionate as the moon ♫

You're back.

Give me your bag.

♫ Bright as the snow ♫

Come in.

♫ A beautiful life ♫

Yizhi,

what happened?

Italian Consulate issued an obituary.

The passenger liner Portis

was wrecked on a reef

off the coast of the Guillo island

two weeks ago.

All 48 Chinese on board,

including Xu Shu,

are missing.

What?

Xu Shu was killed.

Lizi.

I...

I'm suffocating in here.

I want...

I want to go out for some fresh air.

Did you also come to see the film?

[Starlight Theater]

I... I'm just passing by.

Chaplin's new film is on.

The Circus, do you know that?

We can see it together.

I know,

but I've seen it.

It just came out last week.

Have you've seen it?

Dr. Xu,

please don't call me

Miss Lizi anymore.

What should I call you then?

Chief Wu.

So, Chief Wu,

are we making up?

Dr. Xu...

My principles haven't changed,

and our working relationship

is not bad.

Dr. Xu.

Since my divorce,

you've cared for me a lot.

I appreciate it very much.

But I don't want anything

to happen between us.

Lizi.

Lizi.

I'm too bad.

I'm too bad.

He kept trying to comfort me.

I never appreciated it.

He asked me...

asked me to go to a concert,

but I turned him down.

He asked me...

asked me to go to a film,

but I turned him down too.

Even if I said yes,

I still made it clear to him

and drew a line with him.

Because...

Because I was afraid you'd misunderstand us.

I...

I even turned down

his friendship.

I never thought about

his feelings.

I didn't care about him at all.

♫ Enchanting music ♫

♫ Goes through the house ♫

But he still thought of me.

He still cared about me.

♫ Million kinds of loneliness ♫

And he wrote to me.

♫ Are weeping ♫

This morning, I...

♫ The calm sea surface ♫

This morning, I just...

♫ Is full of mists ♫

♫ Huge and deep ♫

This morning, I... I...

♫ Feeling of nothingness ♫

I just read the letter

he wrote to me.

♫ Charming loneliness ♫

He encouraged me...

He encouraged me to go after you.

♫ Intertwines ♫

He encouraged...

♫ Two stars dance on their own ♫

He...

♫ And stop all the fighting ♫

He told me not to give up.

♫ On the lively stage ♫

Even if I fail,

I should not give up.

♫ Fates are often random ♫

♫ They are the lines ♫

He...

♫ that come across sometimes ♫

He's gone.

♫ A lot of regrets ♫

He...

He's dead.

♫ Are waiting for me ♫

♫ I'm the biggest mess ♫

♫ In the world ♫

How could this happen?

♫ I don't want to listen to the sad songs ♫

♫ I don't know how to please people ♫

Yizhi.

♫ Do not torture me ♫

♫ With the hand of fate ♫

You're right.

♫ All the mistakes ♫

I'm a selfish person.

♫ Are mine ♫

I always bring harm to others.

♫ I'm the most miserable person ♫

Lizi.

♫ In the world ♫

♫ I don't want to talk back to you ♫

♫ I take the blame ♫

♫ Stop making fun of me ♫

♫ In the name of love ♫

[Maggie Apartment]

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking,

life is impermanent,

why do we have to

suppress our feelings?

Let's never

be apart again.

Mr. Cheng.

The Japanese shot down

the airliner Jin Gui in Zhongshan, Guangdong.

All 16 people on board,

including Mr. Sun of the Bank of Communications,

were killed.

Chongqing Bank Association issued an obituary,

expressing deep condolences.

I know.

Did you hear

what happened to Jin Gui?

Mr. Ai reported it to me just now.

Mr. Sun was killed.

The airliner Jin Gui

was scheduled to fly from Chongqing to Hong Kong.

In addition to Mr. Sun,

Liu Zisheng, deputy general manager

of Zhejiang Chengye Bank,

was also killed.

Liu Zisheng?

General Manager's Office of Rebang Bank.

Mr. Chen?

Go ahead.

Alright.

What did he say?

He wants

me to go to Hong Kong.

What for?

Now the war is extremely short of military expenditure,

and the situation is not optimistic.

So Mr. Chen

is organizing an advisory group of bankers

to discuss overseas borrowing.

Did Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu

go to Hong Kong

just for this?

They were members of the advisory group.

Now that they're dead,

the advisory group needs replacements.

Doesn't he remember that

you were removed from the Bank Association?

Lizi.

He didn't think of you before.

Now it's dangerous, and he wants you to go.

The Japanese are watching so closely.

They even shot down the plane.

Who would dare to go?

Do you want to go?

I don't agree.

There will be no danger.

So many people were killed.

You're still saying there will be no danger!

Xu Shu was killed.

Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu

were also killed.

I'll go by ship.

It's safer than the plane

Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu took.

In addition,

It's a short-distance passenger liner from Shanghai to Hong Kong,

which is safer than

the long-distance passenger liner Xu Shu took to Italy.

How can you compare like this?

We agreed not to separate.

That's not separation.

Separation means a change of heart.

This is just a physical transfer.

Stop joking with me!

Then I'll tell you about the righteousness.

Every man is responsible for his country's fate.

Mr. Liu Zisheng

was recommended by me to Mr. Chen.

He went without hesitation,

but was killed.

So now Mr. Chen

needs me to take his place.

What about me?

Should I tell

Mr. Chen that

I won't go because of fear?

Do you think it's appropriate?

Lizi.

I want to go.

If we can borrow money,

it will increase our military expenditure

and boost morale.

It will also help our troops

feel the support of the international community

and give our people

hope for victory.

It's a good thing.

But do you know

it's harder for you

to leave Shanghai quietly

than it is to get from Chongqing

to Hong Kong?

In the concessions,

there are many Japanese agents.

If they find out,

what about Rebang Bank?

And you could be killed.

I know all that.

So whether I go or not,

it's up to you.

If I leave,

you'll have to handle everything at the bank.

And you'll have to help me cover

my tracks.

All the pressure

will fall on you.

Lizi.

I don't want you to be worried,

angry,

or tired.

If that's the case,

I'd rather not go.

Don’t you still want me to go?

I agree.

Actually, it's a good thing if you go.

The Bank Association cut ties with you.

Everyone knows it.

The financial community

has been marginalizing Rebang Bank.

Everyone knows this too.

If you go,

don't let the Japanese notice

that you're a member of the advisory group.

Lizi.

But,

you must come back alive.

[Maggie Apartment]

[Central Bank 100 yuan]

Major General Liu.

The legal tender is ready.

Look, the left side is genuine

and the right side is counterfeit.

But why can I tell the difference?

[Central Bank 100 yuan]

Our counterfeit money

is of better quality than their real money.

Yes.

Good, I look forward to your performance.

Yes.

I'll take my leave now.

Major General Liu.

There's an article in today's paper

about Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory in the concession.

It's very interesting.

Director Zhou Wenquan

was the inventor of the first anti-tuberculosis

in China.

He once

openly criticized some officials of the Chongqing Government

for ignoring national interests,

preventing the internal relocation of the pharmaceutical company.

He also criticized the Shanghai and Chongqing

Bank Associations

for their unfair treatment to

Rebang Bank.

According to my research,

Rebang Bank is really special.

Really?

Miss Wu Lizi comes from a famous family

with a powerful background.

Her father Wu Zhifu

was in charge of the famous

Shanghai Deposit Bank.

It seems that Miss Lizi

is not a nobody.

Chief Wu.

Director Zhao.

Sit down.

OK.

I'd like to ask you

if Mr. Cheng is sick.

How do you know that?

I called him yesterday,

and I found something was wrong.

He said he had chest tightness.

Then I came to check the account,

and Mr. Ai said he was on a business trip.

I thought

he must be sick.

The doctor said he was fine.

Chest tightness and shortness of breath

should be caused by over fatigue.

So he cannot work

and must have a good rest.

I think it may be

because Xu Shu's death

made him too sad.

Yes, Xu Shu died young.

I know he can't accept it.

I also feel very sad.

How about this?

I...

I'll go over to see him

and bring him food

and daily necessities.

Which hospital is he in?

No, no. Don't bother.

Let's just leave him alone.

He wants to be alone.

We'd better not bother him.

Yes, I know,

but I'm worried

there's no one to take care of him.

Well, which hospital is he in?

I'm taking care of him.

He's staying at home.

You... you're taking care of him?

I'm staying at Yizhi's.

You know what happened between us.

We've been through a lot.

This time I want to

take good care of him

and win him back.

So,

don't go over to see him.

If you go

and speak to him,

he will be embarrassed.

This is a matter

between him and me.

Just leave it to us.

We'll handle it ourselves.

OK.

OK.

You're right.

Now that you're taking care of him,

I'm relieved.

I hope...

I hope you two get back together.

I do.

I've been looking forward to it for long.

I'll try my best.

[Hong Kong]

[Prince Hotel]

Welcome to the Prince Hotel.

What's going on?

We've been waiting for him for over half an hour.

Calm down.

It's not easy to get from Shanghai to Hong Kong.

Come in.

The liner is behind schedule.

I'm sorry

I'm late.

You've had a long journey

and risked your life.

No need to apologize.

If, by joining the advisory group,

he could return to the Banking Association,

I think the risk

is worth it.

Mr. Cao and Mr. Dai

are worthy of being the master analysts

in Tianjin Banking Industry.

You calculate everything

in terms of input and return.

I should learn from both of you.

If you want to learn,

why don't you

take the minutes of the meeting?

Mr. Song...

It's OK.

Time is precious.

Mr. Chen,

please chair the meeting.

For the overseas borrowing,

there's a major difficulty.

The neutral states want to protect themselves

and explicitly refuse to provide

government loans for the war.

So I propose

to negotiate with them

in the name of commercial loans.

I agree.

If they can lend tens of millions of dollars,

it would be of great help to the war.

For commercial loans,

the repayment period can be negotiated.

I think three years would be appropriate.

I personally suggest

five years.

The war is unpredictable.

The three-year repayment period brings great pressure.

As for the amount,

we should discuss it in detail.

The amount we expect to borrow

is important,

but the goods on which the loan is based

is more important.

Since it is a commercial loan,

we should pay attention to commercial principles.

If the trade goods

are not attractive to them,

what is the point of

discussing our loan expectations

here?

I think

at this meeting,

the first thing we should discuss is

the category of goods.

There are too many goods,

such as tea and porcelain.

There is a wide range of goods.

Let's take a break.

We'll discuss in detail at dinner.

I'm hungry.

Mr. Cheng,

there is a dress code for dinner here.

Pay attention to it.

See you at dinner.

See you later.

General Manager's Office of Rebang Bank.

Miss Wu, thank you.

I'm just acting general manager.

How's everything going?

Did anyone find out?

It's fine.

Freckle Zhao is very worried about you.

He thought you were very sick

and insisted on visiting you at home.

I stopped him.

I told him

we were together.

How about you? Is everything going well?

Well,

except for some arguments with an advisor

who got sarcastic with me,

the discussion went well.

That's because they don't know you.

You are Cheng Yizhi.

It's easy

for you to rule them.

You have a misconception

about me, okay?

Yizhi.

What?

I miss you.

I...

have to go to dinner.

Darn it.

Mr. Chen.

For the category of goods,

I've thought a lot.

-I think... -I've also thought about it.

I think tea is the best deal.

I did a survey.

Last year,

600,000 cases of tea were harvested inland.

We only need to

take 200,000 cases from

Anhui, Yunnan, Zhejiang

and other major production areas,

and then increase by 20% year by year.

Within five years,

we can export 1.5 million cases.

In this case, it's not difficult to

borrow five or ten million.

Let's say it works.

What about the tea?

Will they buy it?

Of course...

Of course not.

Their total trade in tea

last year

accounted for only

seven percent of our total exports.

This shows that

they are not very interested

in tea.

Mr. Cheng,

all my data

have been verified.

For what you said just now,

is it accurate?

Mr. Dai, you live in Tianjin

and have never met me,

but you know my experience.

Just because I come from a poor family

and have no education,

and I'm not as good at arithmetic as you are.

So I can only remember

all the materials I have.

The data I've just cited

are all from

industry research.

You are welcome to check them out.

What about cotton yarn?

I think they need cotton yarn.

The inland supply is tight,

but we can

give priority to overseas.

As long as we can borrow money,

it doesn't matter if we suffer a little.

The cotton yarn

is not only related to the people's lives,

but also to

the safety of the soldiers at the front.

Since the war,

the domestic cotton yarn in the occupied areas

has been seriously hit by Japanese yarn,

and its production capacity has been declining.

If we give priority to overseas at this time,

I'm afraid it will intensify public discontent.

Neither of them will work.

Mr. Cheng.

Tell us what works.

Tung oil.

Tung oil?

Right.

Domestic high-grade tung oil

can be used not only for coatings and pesticides,

but also for construction, machinery,

and artificial leather.

It's very popular overseas.

I really don't understand why

the export of cotton yarn will intensify public discontent,

but the export of tung oil does not.

Because tung oil production capacity

is far higher than that of cotton yarn.

Before the war, the annual harvest was 145,000 tons.

During the war, it has increased rather than decreased.

It exceeded 150,000 tons last year.

Its domestic consumption accounted for only fifty percent,

and exports amounted to 800,000 tons.

Tong oil products

can not only be self-sufficient,

but also can be exported overseas.

Hearing so,

I agree with Mr. Cheng's suggestion

to use tung oil as the traded goods.

What do you think?

I agree.

Let's do it that way.

It's OK.

All the advisors agree.

So for the commercial loan,

we'll use tung oil to negotiate with the United States.

Tomorrow

we will discuss the amount

and the repayment plan.

Mr. Chen.

Do you have anything to add?

If we succeed in

the overseas commercial loan

and decide to use tung oil to borrow money,

I'm afraid

the Society Department will have to

return Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

to Director Gao Dayong.

In addition,

I also suggest that Gao Dayong

be the technical advisor

for the loan based on tung oil.

No one knows tung oil

better than he does.

If the expert cannot exercise his professional skills,

I'm afraid whether the capacity of tung oil

can keep up with the export expectation

will definitely become a problem.

I see.

I'll handle it.

Cheers.

[Rebang Bank]

Ms. Wu.

Is Yizhi sick?

Bell.

What do you want with him?

Just tell me.

I'll tell him when I go back.

Is it about Shimazaki or Xiaofeng?

No.

Neither.

Ms. Wu, Ki is not convenient,

so he asked me to come here.

The Japanese Army

counterfeited 10 million of legal tender

and will send it to Yichang.

Ten million?

It's not convenient for Ki to stop it.

Maybe Yizhi can find a way.

[Export Trading Company]

You did a great job today.

I expected it,

but it still made me feel amazing.

Mr. Chen.

You always overpraise me.

Unfortunately,

I still let you down.

When the newspaper came out that day,

everyone was stunned.

The bank's shareholders were adamantly opposed,

and I couldn't convince them.

It wasn't your fault.

I can only blame myself for hiding something.

But your achievements in leading Rebang

have never disappointed me.

For this overseas loan,

if you want,

I...

can arrange a meeting between you and Eileen.

[Rebang Bank]

Hello!

I take the liberty of writing you this letter

to ask if I can meet with you in person.

I have a very important and urgent matter.

Mr. Chen.

Actually, Eileen and I

have never been in a relationship.

I pretended to fall in love with her,

just to help her buy time

to apply for admission.

She wanted to study for a doctorate,

very much.

Fortunately,

she has now achieved her wish.

She is...

Mr. Chen.

I'm afraid this time I can't

follow the group

to negotiate overseas,

because I want to return to Shanghai as soon as possible.

If I

disappear for too long,

I'm afraid Rebang will be in danger.

You're right.

Excuse me.

Sir, can I help you?

Whisky, two.

OK.

Mr. Cheng.

The Band Association

did not offer help

for your internal relocation.

It's my fault.

Upon my return to Chongqing,

I will ask the Ministry of Finance to approve

a special line from the rear to cover the transfer of

you and the key members of Rebang

to Chongqing.

Thank you for your kindness.

But I think

Rebang should stay in Shanghai.

Why?

In the midst of the war,

what can we bankers do?

We can't carry guns

and go to the front to kill the enemy.

The only thing we can do is to

protect our industries

and depositors.

But through

this negotiation in Hong Kong,

I have figured out a lot of things.

Especially, I was inspired by you.

I think we have a great deal to do.

Why did Japan invade China?

For interest.

And economy is

the most important part of interest.

It is no exaggeration to say that

economy is one of

the most important purposes of

Japan's war of aggression against China.

And in our war of resistance,

economy is also

a necessary means for us

to defend ourselves.

It can be said that without the economy,

without military expenditure,

without goods,

nothing can be discussed.

Mr. Chen,

I admire you.

You can talk directly

to foreign finance ministers.

You have the economic means

to influence the war at the macro level.

Unfortunately, I am not you,

nor can I be you.

But I can

start at the micro level.

At the micro level?

Rebang Bank has many industries,

including tung oil, medicine and cotton yarn,

all of which are urgently needed during the war.

We can organize the production

of these goods and deliver them

to the soldiers at the front.

In the economic war,

elephants have to fight,

and ants also have to fight.

I can't be

an elephant like you,

but I can still

be an ant.

At 8:30 P.M. this Friday,

Nanyang Tavern,

Rolle Road, International Settlement.

Please take the second seat on the right of the bar,

put your information

in Zhongren Bank's 5-yuan note

and use it to check out.

It is learned that

the Japanese Army

counterfeited 10 million of legal tender

and will send it to Yichang.

Hope you can solve it.

[Five]

[Nanyang]

Check.

Miss Lizi, good evening.

You haven't

finished your drink yet, have you?

You are...

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Liu Erlang, Chief of the 2nd Division

of the Japanese Army Staff.

It's a pleasure to

meet you again tonight.

I've never met you before.

Why did you say meet again?

At the

Shanghai Financial Industry Charity Gala,

I saw you play

the Heroic Polonaise.

You played it very well.

I don't know why you

chose this piece.

Did you have

the intention of inciting the Shanghai financial community

to resist the Japanese?

I don't know which phrase means that.

You're so plucky.

Mr. Liu,

you came over so late and didn't drink.

Are you here

to compliment me?

I'd like for her same.

OK.

Miss Lizi, why are you

drinking here?

I came here

on a whim.

But I don't think

that's why you're here.

Since you

are here,

you might as well come to the point.

I admire you

and Rebang Bank.

But as far as I know,

your bank is unwelcome in Shanghai.

The Shanghai Bank Association

has also removed your bank.

So

I can introduce the Japanese financial industry

to your bank.

How?

The Japanese can invest in

Chinese companies through your bank,

such as

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Does that mean our bank

can also invest in

Japanese companies through them,

such as

Kawasaki Metallurgical Plant?

Miss Lizi,

are you always so clever?

Mr. Liu, are you

trying to stop me from

speaking freely in International Settlement?

No, I like your cleverness.

Can I check out now?

No, you can't.
