[Episode 2]

[Jiangdong International Steel Fair]

You guys go ahead.

I'm gonna make a toast.

To Chairman Gao?

I'll wait for you.

Okay, okay, okay.

Xu, listen to me.

Stop arguing.

15,000 tons.

Do you know how much it is worth?

I... I...

Calm down.

You have to hear us out.

Okay?

Miss Xu, only one basic condition.

Do you have a quota?

Yes.

Right?

If I start a company, I'll have a quota.

Do you know how many quotas a company

can apply for?

15,000 tons of steel.

How many companies do you need to register?

15.

You can handle it?

I can handle anything.

If Mr. Wu gives it to me,

I'll open as many companies as I want.

Alright, alright.

There's nothing you can't handle.

That's right.

Let's drink.

Come on.

Mr. Qiu, when Mr. Wu gets back,

you have to say something for me.

Don't do that.

I wish I could help you,

but I can't.

Didn't you say

you could help me at the door?

Well, I... I... I'll try my best.

Okay?

I'll try my best to help you.

Come on, let's drink.

Let's drink.

What... What's wrong?

Nothing.

Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu is back.

You guys are having a lot of fun.

Mr. Wu.

Have a seat.

Well... I just finished a glass of wine. Okay.

Forget it.

Have you thought about it?

Who will we sell

this 50,000 tons of steel to?

To whom?

Foreign companies.

Yes.

Well, that Mr. Zhao.

Right, a fake foreigner.

He. He can do it.

He's a foreign company, right?

His word counts.

His company can buy

our 50,000 tons of steel.

You're right.

Listen.

When he comes,

be smart.

We need to find a way

to get him to our table.

There must be a lot of eyes on him.

Here, here.

There he is.

He's over there.

He's coming.

Yes, I'm already here.

Which table are you at?

Over there, right? Okay.

Mr. Zhao, there you are.

You're finally here.

Get Mr. Zhao some wine. Here, here.

We're counting on you for business this year.

To Mr. Zhao. Come on.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

Good luck with our business.

They all rushed over.

When will it be

our turn?

We have to find a way.

What are we gonna do?

I'll go sit down.

Come back later.

Mr. Zhao.

The business depends on you now.

Could you increase our share this year?

Business is booming, okay?

What do you mean by that?

I just increased your share last year.

I have to save it for everyone.

Mr. Zhao.

I'm gonna drink this one

with you guys for Mr. Zhao.

I'm done. Help yourselves.

Well...

Thank you, Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, don't forget us.

Mr. Zhao.

I have a big deal to talk to you about.

Who are you?

My name is Xu Banxia.

I'm from Binhai Banxia Steel Company.

Our company specializes in the scrap steel business.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

What big business did you say?

We now have a channel.

We imported a shipment of scrap steel from the north,

50,000 tons in total.

How many tons can you buy?

You can name your price

and we can talk about it.

What did she mean?

Why did she tell him?

50,000 tons in the north?

Really?

Of course.

Look.

-Mr. Wu has been waiting for you for a long time. -Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Wu.

We haven't seen each other in a while.

Yes.

Have a seat.

No, no. I'm sitting at that table.

It's all the same. Sit down.

Come on, sit down.

Are you bored?

Do you want to get some air?

No, I got a job to do.

Are you afraid to go?

Because your master would say no?

We won't eat until you come.

I was at that table.

Sit down, sit down.

It's all the same.

Let's have a little chat here. Come on.

How could I be afraid?

Oh great. We're waiting for you.

I just heard that

you're importing 50,000 tons of scrap steel

from up north?

Here's the thing.

I'll give Mr. Zhao a brief introduction.

But Mr. Wu

is in charge here.

Who owns this 50,000 tons of steel?

It belongs to us all.

Yes.

It belongs to us all.

You are a driver or a secretary?

[Tong Xiaoqi]

[Sales Manager]

De... Deputy general manager.

Tong Xiaoqi? You have a nice name.

My mom told me

about a one-man

private enterprise.

He is the chairman,

the president, the vice president,

the treasurer, the clerk,

and the cleaner. What about you?

There are only two people in your company.

We have one more person.

I'm the driver, the deputy general manager,

and the porter.

What's your name?

What do you want?

Let's get to know each other a little.

Wildcat.

That's what people call me.

You can call me that, too.

Wildcat?

You have a very special name.

So you're the secretary,

the driver,

or the deputy general manager?

I don't have a job.

I'm here for a meal.

We're kind of the same.

Again,

let alone 50,000 tons of steel,

no matter how many tons,

I can buy them all.

But I just have one question.

Is it true?

Don't worry.

I've been in Binhai

for so many years.

I won't embarrass myself

by saying big things.

Mr. Wu, that's not what I meant.

Since you said so,

I trust you.

Here.

-Okay, okay, okay. -Here's to you.

Here, here, here.

Here.

Thank you.

Let's propose a toast

to Mr. Zhao.

Yes.

No, no, no.

It's our pleasure.

It's a must.

Let's have a toast to Mr. Zhao.

Here, here, here.

Business is not easy for everyone.

Let's have a drink together.

Xu.

Mr. Zhao is making a toast.

Miss Xu's glass was empty.

I'll fill it for her.

Yes, yes. My glass was empty.

Miss Xu, I heard

one has to be able to drink

while doing business up north.

They drink wine as if it were water.

If you can't go alone,

I can do it for you.

How can that work?

I have to go there.

I'll drink it with this.

-No, no. It's too big. -Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, it's our first meeting.

A small token of good faith.

Mr. Wu, we had a deal. We're in business together.

Xu... Xu.

Here, here, here.

Let's drink it up. Let's finish this one.

How long have you been doing this?

Today is the first day.

First day?

What did you do before?

I just came down from the mountain.

Prison?

You know that?

It's not a big deal.

You were wronged, too?

You're so funny.

There are people in prison who have been wronged?

Are you a bad person?

What do you think?

Yes.

You're too young to know anything.

Let's go back.

I don't know what's going on in there.

Hey, bad guy, slow down.

Boss.

Boss.

Wake up.

Who are you?

Tong Xiaoqi.

Give me your room card.

You...

Where have you been?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You... You bastard.

Don't move. Don't move.

Do you know how many drinks

I had with them?

I was wrong.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

I drank two bottles of white wine with them.

Just get in there.

You're trying to kill me, aren't you?

Tong Xiaoqi.

-You're trying to kill me. -I was wrong.

Didn't I go to talk to someone?

Didn't you tell me to meet people?

I even gave out business cards.

You... Liar.

-Liar. -Be careful.

I'll get you some water.

I'm not thirsty.

My phone is ringing.

Don't move.

-Don't move. Don't move. -My phone.

I'll get it for you.

It's burning.

Tong Xiaoqi, you're gonna burn me to death.

Tong Xiaoqi.

I told you not to move.

You... You're gonna burn me to death.

Phone. Phone.

Phone.

Here, your phone.

Who is it?

Speak. Who is it?

Is this Xu Banxia?

Mr. Zhao, right?

Yes, it's me.

I'm Xu.

Mr. Zhao.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

This wine

is a piece of cake for me.

Thank you for calling and asking about me.

I'm really sorry.

I'm calling

to confirm with you

about buying steel in the north.

Is this true?

Yes.

Yes.

Mr. Wu has got it all set up.

He always keeps his word.

I've known Mr. Wu for years.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him

15,000 tons of steel.

Wasn't that

putting myself in there, too?

Trust me.

I can assure you.

You?

I can assure you of my character.

If you didn't trust me,

you wouldn't have called me.

Right?

I'm calling because you're drunk.

You're more honest

than them.

All right. I'm glad you're fine.

Honest?

He said I'm honest?

Am I?

Have some water.

Tong Xiaoqi.

Thank you.

I got nothing all night,

but honesty.

Can you stop pulling such a long face?

I didn't owe you money.

We're in business now.

Business, understand?

We have to smile.

If you're like this, no one will like to talk to you.

Why did you throw it away?

What?

Oh. I threw it away. What's wrong?

Why didn't you come to see me?

I've been in there for five years,

and you haven't visited me once.

Every time Chen came to see me,

he said you were busy.

Is this true?

Yes.

I'm busy.

I know.

You're blaming me.

So you didn't come to see me.

Right?

Did you divorce that bastard?

You kicked his ass.

Can I not get divorced?

You just want to know

why I didn't visit you, right?

To be honest,

I don't know how to face you.

I don't know what I'm gonna say.

You've been in there for five years,

and I can't get you out for 50,000 yuan

or a million.

You're not a puppy or a cat.

I can't lie to you.

So what's the point of me

telling you this?

You wouldn't understand.

But I always thank you in my heart.

If it hadn't been for that kick,

I'd be stuck in the mud

all day

and I'd never get out.

I've never blamed you for anything.

Since then,

I've been busy doing business with Chen.

The junkyard was closed.

And we sold scrap steel instead.

No matter how big or small the company was,

there're always three shareholders,

Chen,

you,

and I.

Chen always told me

about you.

Got fat?

Lost weight?

Got tanned?

Or the pecs were out of whack?

Chen's talking rubbish.

Who did you give your number to?

Hello.

Who is it?

Mr. Tong.

You're not being honest.

You didn't even say goodbye when you left.

You know what?

I've been looking for you by the lake.

I had something to do, so I left.

What's wrong?

Your master was in a hurry to get back.

So you went back

with your tail between your legs?

What are you talking about?

The wildcat has a tail.

I have no tail.

You're the one who have your tail between your legs.

Calm down.

What do you want? Say it.

The phone bill is quite expensive.

Nothing.

I just want to ask you,

can I play with you when I'm bored?

Whatever you want.

Fine.

It's okay. I got to go.

Bye.

Who called you?

Someone who was drinking

at the same table that day.

A woman, right?

No, no. Boss.

You just got out and you're hitting on girls?

You're very busy.

Stand there.

-No, she kept talking to me. -Stand there.

I can't help it.

Who!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You just left me there.

Do you know how drunk I was?

And you were flirting with a girl?

I was wrong. I... I'm sorry.

I drank myself into a stupor.

No, no, no. Boss.

I was very upset.

I didn't even know how I got back.

Chen Yuzhou!

Tong Xiaoqi!

What are you yelling about?

Why didn't you pick me up?

How am I supposed to pick you up when I'm running a business?

Business is more important than me?

Isn't it?

You're getting strong.

Go. Let me show you around.

Go, go, go.

The new company.

See? These.

It's all scrap steel back there.

There's no room

for that old yard.

Not bad.

We're running out of space here.

We're gonna have to move to a bigger place.

How's it going?

You must have seen a lot of things at the Luzhou Fair.

Don't mention it.

Nine out of ten of those guys were insincere.

The food tasted like garbage. It's all a lie.

Listen.

That's all you're gonna meet.

Here.

Here.

[Banxia Steel Company]

Banxia Steel Company.

How is it going?

You started a company.

You have a share, too.

Here. Look.

This is our dorm.

Fatty bought you

a new sheet, a new cover and a new pillow.

I use all the old ones.

What are you doing? It smells so good.

I've been cooking all afternoon.

Let's have dinner.

Go, go, go.

Come and carry the luggage.

Oh, I forgot. I forgot.

Here I come.

Hurry up. You.

Fatty.

Our company collects scrap steel.

Why go so far abroad

when we can

do business at home?

I've already done the math.

The scrap steel in the north

is 350 yuan a ton,

plus the shipping costs and tax fees,

the cost of a ton is about 700 yuan.

If the domestic market is good,

we can sell for nearly 1,400 yuan a ton.

1,400?

Think about it.

How much can we earn?

I want 15,000 tons.

Or,

I'm gonna ask Wu Jianshe for 10,000 tons.

Where are we going to find

the scrap steel that can turn the cost price of 350 yuan a ton

to 1,400 yuan a ton in a short time?

That's not scrap steel.

That's gold.

How much is that?

10.5 million yuan.

No, Fatty.

We can't work it out at 350 yuan a ton.

We have to work it out by the ton.

Plus shipping and taxes,

it's 700 yuan a ton

according to your algorithm.

Do you know how much money we need?

-More than 10 million yuan. -We can talk about the freight later.

I can pay Wu Jianshe when I get back.

But the money for the steel,

we need to prepare in advance.

Okay.

Let's do it at the price we paid for it.

Now the company

only has about a million.

You want to buy 15,000 tons of steel.

Then we need 5.25 million.

We're over four million short.

Where are we going to find the money?

Chen.

We've been collecting scrap steel for years.

We've made some money.

If we get this deal right,

we'll be good.

Qiu Bizheng and Feng Yu scramble to get there.

They're not willing to give me a quota yet.

Calm down.

Anyway, that scrap yard is not enough.

We have to get a storage yard.

Wouldn't it be a waste of money

if the yard was done

and there was no cargo?

When I get back,

the 15,000 tons will be there.

The yard will be used

and our business will be expanded.

You said a dock could be built next to that yard.

Once the dock is built,

we'll never have to sell scrap steel again.

Yes.

I know what you're saying.

But we can't bite off more than we can chew.

I mean, we don't have

that kind of money right now.

We can't afford it.

We can borrow money.

Where are we going to borrow money?

Four million.

Miss.

Now you do the math.

How much would it be

if we sold everything we had?

I can borrow some money from my dad later.

Take care of Qiu Bizheng

with Tong.

When this is done,

I can get some money.

And Feng Yu.

I should be able to borrow some money from him.

The bank.

Do you know anyone at the bank?

No bank

would lend money to rag-pickers.

No, then.

Shut up.

Anyway, just two things.

First,

handle the mudflat

and get it as soon as possible.

Second,

you and Tong need to

find more people

and register more companies.

I need more quotas.

I'll figure out

the rest.

You have a stake in the company.

Take a stand.

Tell me.

We borrow all this money, four million yuan,

to go north and buy scrap steel.

Is it worth it?

How to do it?

I didn't ask you how to do it.

I was asking if we can do it.

I don't know.

I only asked how to do it.

Here.

Welcome me home.

When she left,

she was very peaceful.

She didn't suffer.

She just told us

she missed you.

Fatty and I

picked this place out.

This place is good.

No matter how busy Fatty and I are,

we must come here

once a month.

Auntie,

Tong is back.

Don't worry.

We will be fine in the future.

If you want to cry, cry.

You stole money, right?

You learned to steal money?

You're trying to piss me off?

[1991]

Mom,

I didn't steal the money.

I earned it.

Mom,

I have two good friends.

They are very nice to me.

They take care of me

and teach me how to earn money.

One of them is like my brother

and the other is like my sister.

I know.

No matter what happens to me in the future,

they're not gonna leave me alone.

They are my family.

Don't worry, mom.

Mom.

I'm here to see you.

In my next life,

I'll be a dog for you.

I'll wag my tail when I see you.

I won't piss you off anymore.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Thank you

for doing this for me.

All right.

This is as far as our car will go.

Just walk inside.

Can you?

What kind of road are you looking for here?

Right.

What is this place?

Don't we have to build roads the same way we build yards?

That's not the point.

Right ahead. Two steps away.

What's the key?

The key is the size of the beach,

the price of the lease

and the depth of the water. Do you know?

Be careful.

Listen, if it's not appropriate...

Boss, do you want to

throw him in the ocean if it doesn't fit?

I'm gonna pick the deepest part of the sea.

Listen.

If you throw me into the sea, I'll drag you down.

See?

The area of the beach is large enough.

If we build it here,

we'll have no problem piling up tens of thousands of tons of steel.

It's 100 times bigger

than our junk yard.

Isn't this too big?

You know nothing.

Let me tell you.

The larger the area, the greater the room for development.

Got it?

Do you see the depth?

I've asked about

this body of water.

The water is definitely deep enough.

Like Fatty says,

we're gonna build a dock right here

when we make money in the future.

The 10,000-ton ship

can pull directly into the dock.

And we go straight

to the yard.

Then the van skills

you learned in there

will be useless.

You're talking on paper

and blowing your own trumpet.

A 10,000-ton ship?

You need a 10,000-ton freight?

How many tons of goods do you have?

Pull the sand away?

You're so shortsighted.

Boss, I think.

We need a big parking lot.

I'll get dozens of big trucks

and put them there.

Very imposing.

Here,

we need a three-story house.

We need a receptionist on the first floor

to meet clients.

And the kitchen and the dining room.

And the second floor

is the office, only office function.

Well... What about the third floor?

I haven't decided yet.

But we need to

get some bedrooms.

If we get tired of working, we can go straight to sleep.

Maybe you should

get a game room, too.

I think we need a pool hall, too.

Did you ask the price?

Yes.

I asked a lot of people.

200,000 a year.

at most.

But,

I haven't spoken to the village chief yet.

Where are you going?

Borrow money.

Hello.

Is this Mr. Qiu?

I'm Xu Banxia's cousin.

We've met before.

Miss Xu asked me to get the books.

Right, your books,

for the last two years.

I'm diagonally across the street

from your factory,

in a white Jetta.

Okay.

Dong.

There you are.

What?

What are you doing at noon?

I have no plans.

What have you got?

How about this?

You go to the usual place

and get some good food.

Let's have some wine at noon.

I'll let someone else do it.

Look at you.

I'm busy.

You have to buy it yourself.

You know what I like to eat.

The same three things.

Fine.

You take this.

Look.

You should take it.

[Feng Jia Cun]

When will you give me an answer?

We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Keep an eye on him.

See what he's doing while I'm not here.

I'm not going back to the factory this afternoon.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hello, Fatty.

We got the books.

If you and Tong

have time today,

go back to the village.

Okay. Then I'll wait to hear from you.

Okay, I see.

Well,

stakeouts and stalking.

Aren't they the boss's friends?

Are you stupid?

There're no friends in business.

But,

how can we do business without friends?

Chen Yuzhou.

You got bad.

Things are different now.

The idea that

it's either good or bad

is not simple. It's stupid.

Take your time.

Bro.

Don't worry.

As long as Fatty and I are here,

you won't be hurt.

Get out. Get out.

Fatty went home to borrow money today.

I don't know if it goes well.

I reckon it's a long shot.

What?

Her family doesn't treat her well?

Do you know

why Fatty is called Banxia?

Why?

Banxia, namely pinellia, is a kind of medicine.

I know. Pinellia oral liquid.

Pinellia oral liquid is made from cooked pinellia.

Raw pinellia

is poisonous.

Fatty's mother died giving birth to her.

Her father hated her.

So he named her Banxia.

Raw pinellia

is poisonous.

Is her father a man?

It's hard to say.

Seriously? Why are you so far away?

You're right.

She

left home when she was very young.

Her father

later married another woman.

Her stepmother gave birth to a sister.

So Fatty

got married

right out of college.

♫The cabbage♫

♫Has turned yellow in the ground♫

♫She's only a couple of years old♫

♫And her mother was gone♫

-Kuan is coming. -You did a good job in the first part.

But the back...

What's the date today?

In the teens.

Why is she here again?

I don't know.

It's not the end of the month yet.

What are you doing here?

Can't I visit you before the end of the month?

I miss you, okay?

Come inside and get some water.

Yes. Here, here.

Here.

♫The cabbage♫

What's the matter? Tell me.

Didn't I give you extra money

last month?

I asked you to dye your hair.

Why didn't you dye your hair?

Dye it once can last six months to a year.

I'm almost 60.

Why do I dye my hair?

No need.

Your sister Qian is young.

It's gonna take a lot of money.

Yes, she's a kid.

All she does is spend money.

Here, have some water.

What are you doing here?

Kuan is here.

Add two dishes.

I'm talking about you.

I'll talk to her.

Do you remember what I told you the last two months?

What is it?

Your sister...

She's taking vocal music level 9.

The teacher

carried the accordion on her back every day to teach her.

She kept complaining to us

that the accordion is not good.

We must use the piano.

But we don't have a piano at home.

Yes.

The teacher has a piano,

but it's too far away.

Back and forth cost us a lot of time.

When we got back, it was already midnight.

And she has no time to do her homework.

We had to

go to the mall to check out the piano.

The price

is not too expensive.

More than 4,000 yuan.

Less than 5,000 yuan.

The piano is fine.

You can buy it whenever you want.

You agreed?

Thank you.

I came to talk to you

about something important.

Dad.

The domestic scrap steel business is not good.

I have a friend.

He has a way

to take me up north

and start a steel import business,

very profitable.

It pays off very fast.

But my principal is not enough.

I want to borrow some money from you.

If this deal goes through,

I can give you more

next time I come back.

I get it.

You came back here today

to get money from your family.

Dad.

I'm not asking for money.

I'm borrowing money.

You can count the interest.

The interest can be higher.

You can

talk about it.

I'll wait.

No need.

I have the final say.

How much do you want?

500,000.

What?

500,000?

Go to the street.

You can ask anyone who's seen 500,000 yuan.

Right.

How dare you say that.

Help me

through this,

okay?

We let you get by.

You got to let us get by.

We fight every day about a piano.

We can't even come up with 4,000 yuan.

I told you about the piano.

You can buy it anytime.

Okay, okay.

Forget about the piano.

We really don't have 500,000 yuan.

Go. Just go.

Dad, didn't we...

Didn't we agree to talk this through?

I'm really in trouble.

I really need the money.

You're not short of money.

You're not in trouble.

You're in our house now.

You're breaking up our family, you know?

I borrow money from you.

How can you say I'm destroying your family?

When did I ever talk to you?

So

you treat your family

the way you do business.

Do you feel distressed

to give us money every month?

So you want it back all at once.

What are you doing?

You scared me.

What are you doing sneaking around?

Let me see.

Who is sneaking around?

I'm in charge of purchasing.

I need to take some photos for my boss

to see your equipment

and steel.

Where is your boss?

He's in the house.

Well, take me to him.

Go, go, go.

Let's go.

Brother, someone came by to talk business.

[Business License]

Sir.

Guo Qidong.

Hello. Hello.

You're welcome. Have a seat.

Step outside for a second.

What's your name?

My surname is Chen.

I went out in a hurry today

and forgot my business card.

I'll give you a number later.

Okay.

Sir.

Which company do you work for?

You look a little new to me.

Our company is in Yong Zhou,

called Yuzhou Steel Trading Company.

What kind of business is your company in?

What size do you want?

Our company

is mainly engaged in cooking utensils.

We need 21 thick sheet of steel.

How much do you need each year?

It depends on the order.

But a year,

1,000 tons at least.

1,000 tons at least.

Dad.

I'm not here to fight.

And I'm not here for the money.

My business is having a hard time.

I'm really in trouble.

I'll mortgage my house to you,

-okay? -No, no.

We dare not take it.

Your house and your car.

So what?

You want it back in the future?

What are you doing?

Torturing us every day?

Well, I have to warn you.

The house you're living in

belonged to my grandparents.

My name is on the deed.

And I have the deed.

My mom's gone,

and now I have the house.

I have the right to do what I want.

What do you want?

If I can't borrow money,

I'll have to take this house

to the bank as collateral.

The court is fair and impartial.

I don't believe you can go to the court

and talk this shit.

You... You.

Xu Youren.

I was unlucky to marry you.

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna sleep on the street with my kid.

You can have the court throw me out.

Xu Banxia, listen.

If you take this to court,

I'll disown you.

Do you know?

Mom, do you want to eat?

I'm hungry.

Eat what?

Go and beg for food.

Go practice your song.

Sweetie, what are you doing?

Dad, please help me.

Think about it.

Are you tired

of living like this every day?

Take care.

Get out!

Get out!

We don't need you in this house.

Don't act like you're rich.

We don't have you in our family.

Get lost!

You got it right this time,

being angry and scared.

Let's do it again.
