[War of Faith]

[Episode 10]

Sir, the votes are out.

There were 129 votes in total.

54 votes were in favor.

39 votes were against it.

31 votes

were on the fence.

Not enough. It's far from enough.

There are

Yu Shiqing's people among the supporting votes.

They'll work against us at the last moment.

Those on the fence are as good as objections.

Recently, people come to us every day

in an attempt to affect our decision.

Sir.

Speak your mind.

I think they are up to no good.

We'll be affecting the profit

of these big compradors and foreign banks.

I'm afraid

they might harm you.

So what, you quit eating fish because it has bones?

Your car was blown up before.

So what?

I represent the Central Bank and Treasury Department this time.

Mr. Song and Chairman Chiang are supporting me.

Who dares to make a move under their watch?

Don't worry about me.

Focus on your work.

Go.

-Yes. -Yes.

What's the meaning of this?

Are you looking down on me?

No.

It's a bit embarrassing.

A few days ago,

someone robbed me at the New Show Club.

My pocket watch,

my wallet, and my gun.

They took everything.

Actually, everything else is fine.

But that pocket watch

was a gift from Mr. Yu.

I have to get it back no matter what.

You should

let the police handle this.

Asking us to help you catch a thief

is an overkill.

Mr. Kang, everyone knows that you're most resourceful.

How can the lackeys at the police station

compare to you?

A robbery case

isn't worth this much.

I must be sincere

since I'm asking for your help.

Fine.

Considering your sincerity,

I'll lend you my best man

from the Investigation and Arrest Unit

to help you find your pocket watch.

I think Captain Lin is good.

Do you have something against him?

No.

I've never seen him before.

But I've heard a lot of good things about

the people working for you.

Oh, you...

Guards!

Call Lin Qiaosong over.

Sir.

Come in.

Mr. Kang, you wanted to see me?

Qiaosong.

Mr. Zhang was robbed

at the New Show Club

and lost some things.

Help him find them.

Do you know the robber's identity?

Of course not.

Why else would I come to you?

The duty of the Investigation and Arrest Unit is to...

Find him.

Yes.

Is it convenient for you now?

I want to know all the details of this case.

Here's the thing.

A few days ago,

I drank too much at the New Show Club.

Then I vomited in the bathroom stall.

Suddenly,

someone approached me from the side

and whacked me in the head

from the back.

I still have a bruise on the back of my head.

When I regained consciousness,

my pocket watch, my wallet,

and my gun were all gone.

When did this happen?

It was

on the day you drove to the club

to save Song Meijuan.

Qiaosong.

Mr. Zhang is a noble person.

He is a valuable friend to have.

I understand.

I will handle this case myself

and get the items back as soon as possible.

Okay.

Wait.

Captain Lin.

How do you plan to

find him?

Dispatch men to find him, of course.

We'll check the black market.

There are only a few shops that sell stolen goods.

Once we find anything,

we can follow the clues

and find the person

who robbed you.

I’ll wait for your good news.

If you can't solve the case,

I can only complain to Mr. Kang.

Mr. Chen.

Don't do this.

I can't let Guang down.

You can't do this.

Stop.

Too much.

Too much?

Your acting is too much.

Be more genuine.

Don't exaggerate.

Let's do it again.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay, get ready.

Let's do it again.

Come on.

Ready.

Start.

Please.

Stop!

Newbie.

No, no, no!

No!

Think about it. You will be bullied soon.

If you encounter

something like this in real life,

would you be this calm and composed?

No, no, no!

Okay?

Let's do it again.

Okay. Come on.

One more time.

Ready.

Okay. Ready?

Start.

Mr. Chen.

No!

No!

Stop!

Who hired this woman?

Why is she copying me?

She even said "No!"

Is there no standard for acting nowadays?

Anyone can be an actress now?

Right?

When I was...

Here.

Go on.

No need.

Newbie.

Come here.

Newbie, it's okay.

You did a good job.

You did very well.

May I know your surname?

My surname is Su.

It's an honor to work with you.

Good. You did a great job.

How did it go?

Did you pass the audition?

Yes.

Great!

I knew you could do it.

This director

came back from America.

He is talented

and aloof.

He doesn't listen to anyone.

If he chose you to be the leading actress,

that means you're talented.

Let's go.

Let's have some afternoon tea at my Western restaurant.

I shouldn't...

I just imported some caviar from the Black Sea.

You need to try it.

If you like it,

bring some home for Yu to eat with toast.

Let's go.

Mr. Yu.

The voting is tomorrow.

Are you confident or not?

What's the rush?

So annoying.

Mr. Yu.

Shen Tunan has been busy lately.

He's canvassing everywhere.

Many old acquaintances

are taking his side.

Looking at history,

cruel officials like him will never meet a good end.

Just wait and see.

I don't know if Shen Tunan will live or die.

But if we lose another battle,

I'm dead for sure.

You're not any better.

How is the preparation

I asked you to do?

Everything is ready.

We just need your order

to execute it.

I have also arranged things with Mr. Kang.

If we leave any traces,

even if they won't help us,

they won't work against us.

Why did you go to him?

I know better than you

the kind of person Kang Shaojie is.

This kind of person is like a loach.

He's slippery and unreliable.

If anything happens,

he'll be the first to run away.

Seriously.

If it doesn't work, we can add more to the bargain.

There's nothing in this world

that cannot be solved with money.

Shen Tunan

is backed by Mr. Song.

But we also

have people backing us.

Let me think about it.

In business,

we'd better not provoke Nanjing

until we absolutely have to.

Come in.

Sir.

Your noodles with scallion oil.

Put it there.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

I'll get a bowl of wonton at the canteen later.

The pork chop noodles at the small canteen are delicious.

You can try it.

Sir,

I'm not

qualified enough to eat there yet.

Do you think this arrangement

is good or bad for you?

I think it's good, Sir.

This way, I'll do my best

to earn the qualification to eat there.

So you see,

differentiation is not a bad thing.

The key is the path of progression.

A good society

must have a smooth

path of progression.

That way, we can give the people at the bottom

the chance to fight for the life they want

with their own efforts.

And we

are fighting for

a society like that.

Take a look.

The future is promising,

but getting there is difficult.

Judging from the numbers,

that is the case.

So,

we need to fight for the votes of the foreigners.

But...

I know what you want to say.

Foreigners are beneficiaries of the current tariff system.

They will definitely be a hindrance to the tariff change, right?

Yes.

Especially Yu Shiqing and Zhang Mingquan.

They will prove their value

to the foreign masters.

It doesn't matter.

Didn't I make some annotations

on the report you gave me?

What they care about

is profit.

Only when we share the same interests can we reach a consensus.

Of course,

the premise is their interest

must obey us unconditionally.

Come in.

Sir.

Say it.

Yu Shiqing called.

He said it was about the shareholders' meeting of the Xinya Department Store.

Do you want to answer it?

Answer it for me.

Tunan.

I know you're listening.

The major shareholders of Xinya Department Store

are waiting to welcome you.

Call me

when you are free.

Mr. Yu,

I'm really sorry.

Mr. Shen is not in the building right now.

I don't know where he is now.

He's trying to fool me.

Yu Shiqing is giving me the final notice.

Sir,

will he do something drastic out of desperation?

You two go out first.

Leave me alone.

Yes.

Yes.

Connect me to Astor House Hotel.

Since he's so stubborn,

do it.

Yes.

Wait.

You must do a clean job.

Don't leave any traces.

I understand.

Mr. Yu,

I’ll keep an eye on the entire operation.

I won't cause you any trouble.

Yu.

Dad, you're back.

Let's eat.

It's so hard

to have dinner together

as a family now.

Where is your wife?

What is she busy with recently?

An audition.

Mom's going to film a movie.

A movie?

Why is she suddenly filming a movie?

Who asked her to do it?

Yu Shiqing's wife.

Yu Shiqing's wife?

Is this because of the tariff matter?

How did you know?

Who told you that?

Everyone in Shanghai knows it.

I didn't need anyone to tell me.

Those foreigners and compradors are going crazy.

This time,

Shanghai is in an uproar

because of you.

The German engineer of our factory said

if this proposal succeeds,

they will return to Germany immediately.

They won't cooperate with us anymore.

Let the Chinese enjoy themselves.

I think it's good.

What do you think?

As long as it's a good policy for our country,

I will support it.

You weren't this patriotic before.

When you were in Germany,

you were always with the foreigners,

drinking and chatting.

You thoroughly enjoyed yourself.

Don't say that.

That was just what you saw.

Can't I be popular?

Fine.

Anyway, if you

had spent all your time

studying instead,

China might have its own

big caliber high-speed cannons by now.

You're right.

If you had spent

all your beer-drinking time

in Germany studying instead,

our country might have

long achieved financial unification.

So quick-witted with your words.

I'm back.

You're back.

Mom, you're back.

Sorry, I'm late.

Sister-in-law, let's eat.

Okay.

Mrs. Yu wouldn't let me go.

She kept talking to me.

She's convinced

that I want to be a celebrity.

Those are all from them.

-I didn’t take anything expensive. -Madam, please eat.

Thank you.

By the way,

there is a set of

handmade shampoo and body wash

from Italy.

There is only 1 such set in Shanghai.

Try it later.

So precious?

You dote on me the most, Sister-in-law.

Mom,

do you have a gift for me?

Of course.

I have one for your dad too.

Don't give it to him.

I don't want it either.

Really.

Give them all to me.

Take them all. They're all yours.

Big caliber high-speed cannons.

Financial unification.

Big caliber high-speed cannons.

Have you achieved financial unification?

Focus on eating.

Come in.

Brother.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Lend me a few minutes of your time.

Freshen up your mind.

Here.

What is it?

Get up.

This is the latest bulletproof vest

that I asked my classmates to send

from the United States.

Try it on.

For me?

This thing is quite heavy.

How can I meet people after wearing it?

I won't wear it.

Try it.

No.

You won't wear it?

Fine.

Sister-in-law.

You're so annoying.

Sister-in-law...

You should have cooperated from the start.

Don't rush.

Be careful.

It suits you.

Once I buckle it,

it gets so tight that I can't breathe.

It's very suffocating.

That doesn't matter.

What matters is that it's bulletproof.

Besides, you are so thin.

People can't tell that you're wearing it.

Fine, I'll wear it.

Alright.

You must wear it.

Yes.

It's quite heavy.

Alright, I'll carry it myself.

You must wear it.

I know.

Get some rest.

Don't work too hard.

Sleep early.

Stop thinking about it.

Good night.

Good night.

You must wear it.

Thank you.

Bulletproof vest.

Considering what you told me,

should I still be in that movie?

Yes.

You have decided on it, haven't you?

Why give up?

But I have to remind you.

There's a chance this could go south.

It's hard to say if you'll be able to do it.

Because from tomorrow onwards,

they will hate me.

Will they kill you?

I'm a key official of the Central Bank.

I bet they dare not.

What if they jump the gun?

At least not to that extent.

In business, it's all about benefits.

There's no need for us to tear into each other.

I'll be okay.

Don't think too much. Go and sleep.

Do you want to

find an empty ground to shoot a few rounds,

and get familiar with the feel of it?

No need.

It's not our first time doing this.

Shen Tunan is a key government official.

He might wear a bulletproof vest.

Besides...

You don't trust me?

Do it yourself.

No, no, no.

No.

Come.

Let me show you the four roads

which Shen Tunan will definitely pass tomorrow.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Send him to hell

at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

My chest hurts.

It hurts so much.

My chest hurts.

Sir.

It's blocked.

They're coming.

Turn around.

Be careful.

Mr. Shen is not here yet.

Mr. Yu.

Hello.

Hello.

Where is Advisor Shen?

He should be here soon.

Advisor Shen is such a big shot.

He's the star of the show today.

Mr. Zhang, you are being funny.

He should be on his way.

Please have a seat.

Okay, let's go.

Please.

Everyone, please be quiet.

Today,

we'll vote democratically

on the proposal made by Mr. Shen Tunan of the Central Bank

to recover tariff autonomy,

by way of a secret ballot.

After repeated consultations with various envoys,

we have decided that

if more than half of the votes

are in favour,

this proposal will be approved.

Otherwise, it will not be passed.

We will vote at 9 a.m.

Before the vote,

[Shen Tunan]

Mr. Shen Tunan will speak.

Mr. Deng.

Mr. Shen is not here yet.

I don't know either.

Sir,

are you wearing a bulletproof vest?

No.

I told you to wear it.

That thing is so thick

and puffy.

If I wear it, I am making a fool of myself.

Safety first.

Your life is more important than anything.

If he shoots you in the head,

is there any use for the bulletproof vest?

Well,

it's better than not wearing it.

I, Shen Tunan, am dedicated to our country.

If someone really wants to kill me,

I believe God will bless me.

Advisor Shen is the initiator of this vote.

How can we vote without him?

Yeah, how?

According to the procedures,

even if

Mr. Shen is not here,

the voting continues.

It's just that Mr. Shen's vote

will be considered an abstention.

All the representatives of Central Bank are late.

It shows that Central Bank

doesn't take this vote seriously at all.

That's right.

If so, how could we, HSBC,

trust them with

the tariff autonomy?

How can we hand it over?

No, we can't.

No.

We, foreign banks, have always been holding onto it.

Why should we hand it over?

How long have you guys been hogging this big piece of pie?

Who are you to not give it back to us?

Turn right.

Turn right on the path ahead.

Sir.

There's no way out.

What should we do?

Everyone, everyone.

Please be quiet.

Calm down.

Please calm down.

Mr. Shen must be on his way.

Please wait for a few minutes.

Are we still voting or not?

What time is it already?

Is this how the Central Bank works?

That's right.

Just cancel it.

Who are you to cancel it?

There are so many people here today.

This vote must go on.

Yes, we must vote!

What should we do?

Chief Deng.

Mr. Jiang, looking at this situation,

why don't you go on stage and say something?

I've greeted everyone whom I needed to.

After all, I'm not from the Central Bank.

It's not justifiable,

nor does it make any sense.

What exactly is up

with Tunan?

Stop arguing.

Calm down! Calm down!

Stop arguing!

Calm down.

Please calm down.

Please listen to me.

Seeing how Advisor Shen has yet to arrive,

I believe

he must have been stuck in

a tricky situation.

Otherwise, he will definitely be present.

I believe

he must be rushing here right now.

So everybody, there's no need to be too harsh.

But I want to emphasize that

credibility

is the foundation of the banking industry.

The Central Bank has broke their promise to us.

It's like a mother beating her own child.

There's nothing left to say.

But I have to remind everyone that

those present today include

British, American, German, French envoys,

as well as representatives from

HSBC and Citibank.

We even have representatives from East India Bank.

If Central Bank breaks their promise,

how will they face all of these people in the future?

Yes.

That makes sense, right?

A hypocrite.

What a scoundrel.

This is a proposal guided by the Central Bank.

It's just a piece of paper

if it's not backed by credibility.

For the benefit of our country,

and for the benefit of our people,

I, Yu Shiqing,

sincerely asks everyone

to please start voting now.

In front of international friends,

we must protect the credibility of the Central Bank.

As citizens,

we can't afford to lose our dignity.

Mr. Yu is right.

It's embarrassing.

Everyone.

I hereby announce

the vote...

Wait.

Chief Deng.

Please wait a while more.

Everyone!

Shut up!

You're just an assistant. You have no right to speak.

Get off now.

Security, what are you waiting for?

I'm Mr. Shen's assistant.

Mr. Shen has said that

if he doesn't arrive in time,

I can give a speech on his behalf.

Chief Deng.

Chief Deng can testify for me.

Mr. Zhang, please calm down.

Assistant Wei Ruolai is right.

Mr. Shen did say that.

What did Mr. Shen tell you?

Please go ahead.

Okay.

Also, I want to remind

Mr. Zhang Mingquan of HSBC.

According to the rules of the meeting,

you have no right to speak.

You are the one who is truly disrupting the order of the meeting

with all that yelling and screaming.

Don't talk nonsense.

Don't put words in my mouth.

I'll say it again.

If you continue to disrupt the meeting,

you will be kicked out.

Alright, sit down.

Everybody, please do not forget that

today's stage belongs to Central Bank.

Didn't I annotate that report

you gave me?

These people care about nothing

but their own interests.

Only when we share the same interest can we reach a consensus.

If I remember correctly,

the number of people present today

should be 124.

But in my eyes,

what I see is our entire country's

450 million compatriots.

Then you must be blind.

Shut up.

Go on.

Is this tariff reform really

a zero-sum game between

domestic Chinese and foreign interests in China?

I don't think so.

Last year, as United States began the Great Depression,

capitalists would rather dump milk

into Mississippi River

than invest in more saturated markets.

In the earlier years,

Germany started a world war

just for a bigger market.

And in the even earlier years,

in order to open up the Chinese market,

the British started the Opium War.

What are these tugs of war between nations?

That's right.

It's all about fighting for the market.

So what can pull countries

out of the Great Depression?

It's also the market.

In today's world,

where is this said market

which can help resolve our economic crisis?

It's simple.

The market

is where the population is.

Now, there are

120 million people in the United States,

160 million people in the Soviet Union,

64 million people

in Germany,

64 million people in Japan,

41 million people in France,

and 46 million people in Britain.

The population of China is 450 million.

The 450 million citizens of China

will become the largest market in the world.

Our people are still currently poor.

Our country

is still suffering from war and hunger.

There are only a few million people participating in global trade.

However, the value of imports and exports

has reached 3,430.4 billion.

Think about it.

If we can establish

a stable and independent market,

Then how much will be the value of imports and exports

in the future?

It'll be immeasurable.

It'll be beyond your imagination.

You little bastard!

All you do is brag.

What does what you said

have to do with today's vote?

This is exactly what I want to say.

Taking back our tariff autonomy

will greatly alleviate China's debt crisis,

and strengthen the central government's financial resources.

This way, the government will have money and power

to gradually build

a more vibrant market.

A huge market of 450 million people.

Isn't that what everyone wants to see the most?

Dream on!

Shut up!

Let him finish.

You don't even act like an elder.

Mr. Yu,

You carry on.

To put it bluntly,

growing food requires water and fertilizer.

The best seeds

can't feed a man until it grows.

This tariff is like a mountain spring

and fertilizer to China.

The barren land you see,

as long as you give it time and patience,

I'm sure it will grow into an economic field

that can support the world.

There's an old Chinese saying,

"Ride the wind and overcome the waves."

I suggest our foreign friends here

take a longer-term view.

Christmas has just passed.

If you are willing to

return the tariff autonomy to China,

China will definitely give you

a belated Christmas present.

It will be a huge market filled with gold everywhere.

We don't have time

to listen to your nonsense.

If Shen Tunan doesn't arrive,

today's voting won't count.

Yes.

Without our support,

this piece of paper is completely worthless.

Mr. Yu.

Don't be so hasty.

What's going on?

Isn't Tunan here now?

What's wrong, Mr. Shen?

Sir.

I'm fine.

Sorry, everyone.

I, Tunan, am late.

Just now,

my assistant already gave a speech on my behalf.

I'm here to explain that

I'm late

not because Central Bank

do not take this proposal seriously,

nor do we not care about our reputation.

It's because there was an assassination attempt

on my way here.

At this critical moment,

anyone who wants to

kill me

knows what he is doing.

In my opinion,

taking back our tariff autonomy

is to take back the bloodline of the country.

I can bleed,

but the country

must bleed no more.

Here,

I would like to warn those with evil intentions.

If this proposal is approved,

I won't pursue this assassination.

But if this fails,

I'm sorry.

I'll get to the bottom of this,

find out who's behind this,

and punish him severely.

Everyone.

I, Tunan,

thank you.

Let's go to the hospital, Sir.

I haven't voted yet.

Give me the ballot.

Ballot?

Everyone,

I hereby announce

the voting

starts now.

I'm fine.

The votes are tallied.

The number of votes against the reform proposal is

42 votes.

There are 76 votes in favor.

There are 6 abstentions.

I declare that as of today,

Central Bank's proposal to take back tariff autonomy,

is successfully approved.

Sir! Sir!

[Shanghai Jiren Hospital]

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Sir! Sir!

Please wait outside.

Calm down!

[Filming in progress. Do not enter.]

Guang is dead.

Xiaocao.

Xiaocao!

Guang, where are you?

Xiaocao is coming for you.

Xiaocao.

I'll sing for you.

I'll sing for you, okay?

Snow, get the snow.

Hurry!

It's windy. Get ready.

♫The breeze won't stop blowing♫

Xiaocao.

♫The willows sway in the breeze and drizzle♫

Director!

Director!

Stop. Stop!

Someone is calling.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

What call?

How many times have I told you?

Unplug all your phone lines when we are filming.

Don't you know?

Director.

This is ridiculous.

It's Mrs. Yu's phone.

I won't be held up

even if God calls.

Sister-in-law.

Jinzhen.

Sister-in-law.

That was great.

Xiaocao did a great job.

You've got a great eye for recommendations.

Okay, she's right here. I'll get her for you.

Get Xiaocao here. Hurry.

Xiaocao.

You have a call.

Coming.

Thank you.

Xiaocao, Mrs. Yu is calling.

Thank you.

Hello?

Sister.

What?

Hurry up.

Drive even faster.

Sister-in-law.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

My brother is lucky.

He will be fine.

It's them.

It must be them.

It must be them behind this.

I knew there was

something more to this.

You mean...

Yu Shiqing?

Who else could it be?

Who else would have the guts?

Your brother is an official of the government.

Besides, he was just following Mr. Song's orders this time.

Who would dare to mess up something this big?

Tell me.

If you've got the guts, why don't you confront face to face?

What's the point of an assassination?
