[War of Faith]

[Episode 12]

I don't think this is suicide.

This is murder.

Drive him out!

Mr. Kang!

This is so obvious.

Why—

Mr. Kang,

I understand what you mean.

Can you give me another chance?

What if I don't?

Shen's assassination case

is scrutinized by all.

You don't want to see me

make a fuss

for nothing, right?

My position is low,

but as you just said

I have some old friends in Nanjing.

Mr. Kang,

I'll let go of this case.

You can close the case however you want.

I just want to work at ease

in the Investigation and Arrest Unit.

Mr. Kang, please have mercy

and spare me.

Alright, get up.

I know you are capable.

However,

I hope you're clear about

whose side you're on.

Yes.

From now on,

I will act only under your orders.

Mr. Kang, you've very resourceful.

Not only did the man disappear,

but even the testimony and files

have disappeared.

Mr. Kang,

impressive.

Mingquan, you can sleep well tonight.

Thanks to you.

The first batch of opium

has finally arrived in Shanghai.

With your addition,

this will be

a great boost

to the business.

You flatter me.

Yes.

I suggest,

let's drink to our better cooperation

in the future

and for countless money.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Cheers.

That's "money" in English.

Money.

Money.

Cheers.

It must be Yu Shiqing.

He killed the man and destroyed the evidence.

These people

are more and more lawless.

Sir,

they dared to attack you.

They must pay the price.

I have plenty of ways

to deal with them.

Tell the doctor I need to be discharged.

Sir, the doctor said—

Discharge.

Yes.

Sir, you're back.

Mrs. Wang.

Why are you...

You haven't recovered yet.

Why did you leave the hospital?

I have many matters to deal with.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

I've made arrangements

for the doctor to check on me regularly at the bank.

Then...

Don't.

I'm hungry.

Mrs. Wang,

cook some wontons for him.

Okay.

Does the bank have this much work to do?

The bank has many matters every day, you know.

I don't know.

Your alcohol.

Let me.

Let me do it.

How much money

do you think Kang Shaojie accepted this time?

How dare he

play around with a case at this level?

It's none of your business.

Anyway, it's over.

From now on, we'd better behave.

Don't provoke him.

We're under a low roof.

That's right.

When we're under a roof,

lowering our head

is nothing bad.

We have food and drinks.

We're just making a living.

Sir,

living well is more important than anything.

In Nanjing,

the people I hated the most

were those who wore Chinese tunics.

Each of them

were well-dressed and looked proper.

They said the prettiest things,

but when they worked,

they did everything to get money into their own pockets.

Shen Tunan

is pretentious

and arrogant,

but he really does work for the Party.

He risks his life.

Kang Shaojie doesn't deserve to hold a chamber pot for him.

You can't say that.

Watch out for eavesdropping.

I'm not afraid of dying.

The first day after I graduated from Huangpu,

I was almost shot to death by the sergeant.

From that day on,

I no longer cared

about my life or my position.

I know you all don't like me.

Bring it on.

Bring it on!

Let's see who falls down first.

Delicious.

One more bite.

Tunan.

Mrs. Wang said you suddenly came back.

You haven't fully recovered.

Why did you come back suddenly?

The Central Bank has important things.

Is work that important?

You two talk first.

I'll send the food back first.

Thank you, Sister-in-law.

What is so important

that you're so anxious to get discharged for?

Listen.

Take care of yourself first.

Otherwise, you can't go back to work.

Your brother

is like fighting a war now.

If I miss this opportunity,

the other side will be prepared

and the battle will be difficult.

You're still fighting in this state?

Who are you fighting with?

Yu Shiqing?

Yes.

The assassin who tried to kill me

has just been killed.

I'm guessing that they will

cause a lot of trouble for the Central Bank

in the financial market next.

Xingxia Bank

has been in international trade for many years

and has worked with arms dealers

from various countries.

The tungsten ore mine in Jiangxi Soviet

can't make sales

because of Xingxia's interference.

It's our tungsten ore trade's biggest obstacle.

Our superiors have asked us

to get rid of Xingxia long ago,

but we couldn't find a way.

This is a good chance.

Why don't you just acquire

Xingxia Bank

so they won't be in the way?

You can't acquire it just like that.

That's Yu Shiqing.

He has been in Shanghai for so many years.

He has a strong background.

If I act impulsively

without finding his weakness,

all my efforts will be in vain

if it backfires.

Weakness...

[Hong Fang Clothing Shop]

I have a grand discovery.

[News] [The long-awaited return of the tariff autonomy. Central Bank's Shen Tunan succeeds]

Advisor Shen.

Chief Deng.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Chief Deng,

you came personally to pick me up

and made such a big scene.

I'm very flattered.

It's my pleasure.

It's not just my idea.

This was also Mr. Song's idea.

He specifically instructed me

that we must liven up the atmosphere

when welcoming back the Central Bank's hero.

Great! Welcome home.

I haven't been here for a while.

I missed you all.

Thank you for your hard work.

You've worked hard, Mr. Shen.

Please.

Chief Deng, after you.

Please.

Chairman Chiang personally nominated you

to be a director of the Central Bank.

Congratulations, Tunan.

Director?

It's hard to live up to the name.

Among these seniors,

I am the most

inexperienced.

It won't be easy

to be a director.

There is a first time in everything.

From now on,

we have to work harder.

We can't let Chairman Chiang down.

Of course.

Sir, I request to snipe Xingxia

and teach Yu

that the Central Bank shouldn't be offended.

No, this is too rushed.

We just finished the most critical battle

and are in high spirits.

But because of this,

Yu Shiqing must have taken precautions.

This is not the best time.

Sir,

I've been studying Xingxia lately.

Didn't you say

battles must be fought in one breath?

It's the same with the financial battles.

Besides, haven't you already

studied Xingxia?

Ruolai,

knowing is easy, doing is hard.

The stock market is far more dangerous than you think.

Sir, I guarantee

I'll take down Xingxia within two weeks

or you can have my head.

Wei Ruolai, you're presumptuous.

Congyun, go do your work.

I'll chat with Ruolai.

Do you know how to play chess?

Yes.

The biggest taboo

in chess is to be impatient.

-Sir, I'm not. -You are.

I got shot,

so you want to avenge me.

I understand that,

but

if it's just for revenge,

it's unnecessary.

In the grand scheme,

personal grievances are not that important.

Sir, then you would've been shot in vain.

I told you it's the timing.

Now is not the right time.

Yu Shiqing has been in Shanghai for many years.

He has complicated connections.

You can't do something

to him just because you want to.

Sir, he's just a sick tiger now.

I know his weakness.

Trust me, I won't fail this time.

What if you do?

You can have my head.

Why would I want your head?

But actually,

your head is the most valuable.

How about this?

If you fail,

all your vacation time will be canceled

until I say the punishment is over.

No problem.

Then,

I'll get going, sir.

Go ahead.

Yes.

Secretary Huang,

I know you want to scold me,

but don't worry.

You can scold me after I finish this,

okay?

Hello, who is it?

Secretary Chen,

I'm Shen Tunan.

I need your help.

[The Chartered Stock and Produce Exchange, Shanghai Ltd.]

Mr. Yu.

Isn't this Assistant Wei?

Where is your master?

He's not disabled, right?

Your shoe is untied.

That little bastard you tricked me.

Damn, he looks honest,

but he's full of lies.

He looks honest?

Would Shen Tunan keep him by his side

and train him if he's honest?

There's a saying that birds of a feather flock together,

understand?

Let's go.

Assistant Wei,

when will Mr. Shen arrive?

He has something else to do today.

I'll act on his behalf.

Okay.

You?

What?

Are you worried?

No, I don't mean that.

I meant that Mr. Shen didn't let me know.

I can't make the decision myself.

Why don't you ask Mr. Shen

to call me?

No need.

Secretary Huang,

Since Mr. Shen agreed to let you trade,

he won't change his mind.

I'm only here to help you.

Okay.

Let's start.

First, sell 5,000 shares

to sell Xingxia short.

Go.

Yes, Assistant Wei.

How do you feel?

Not bad.

Go a bit slower.

How about this?

A little sore.

Your condition

has basically recovered.

Continue to take the medicine

I prescribed.

In a few days,

I'll be back for the last check-up.

Okay, thank you.

Please say hello to Director Li for me.

Okay.

Remember to take your medicine.

The market is open.

Tunan,

Wei Ruolai is still a child.

How dare you use him to trade?

At his age,

I was already a part-time stock broker

at LSE (London Stock Exchange).

You two are different.

When you were 19, you were already writing

economics papers in German.

Right now,

I doubt

he's memorized all 26 letters

of the English alphabet.

So, do you think Wei Ruolai

is not smart enough?

I didn't say that.

He is indeed smart.

But he's young and inexperienced, after all.

If you let him control the big market now,

I feel that he's missing something.

One is not young if not reckless.

We must make every mistake that we should.

Isn't this how we all got through it?

You need a limit to your affection.

Then, do you think

I'm someone who likes taking risks?

You don't look like one,

but you must be.

Assistant Wei.

Assistant Wei.

Xingxia's stock price has dropped rapidly.

It's already at 10.6 silver dollars.

Yu is just so-so.

Looks like we have to end the battle early today.

Wei Ruolai,

don't underestimate your enemy.

Yu Shiqing and Zhang Mingquan

are sitting next door.

They haven't fought back yet.

You think they haven't set a trap?

The retraction of tariff management rights

gave a serious blow to the compradors' capital.

The foreign merchants and capital have all retreated.

Xingxia will soon have

a concentrated risk of defaults.

It's not that Yu doesn't want to fight back,

but that he doesn't have the capabilities.

Even a starved camel is larger than a horse.

They are not camels

and the Central Bank isn't a horse.

Today, I'll show him

how he lost Xingxia.

Get the price below 10

and start buying it in.

Yes.

Mr. Liu.

Our previous plan was

to reach the target price within a week

to fully consume Yu Shiqing's chips

and buy in at a low price.

Aren't you

being too reckless?

Secretary Huang,

Mr. Shen has entrusted me with full authority.

Please trust me.

No.

This is such an important decision.

I think we should—

Opportunities vanish in the blink of an eye.

You are here to help me.

If anything happens,

I'll take responsibility.

Mr. Liu.

Yes.

Continue to make orders.

Yes.

Continue to order.

Throw out all the shares

of you and your friend.

Yes, all of them.

Attack Xingxia.

Just listen to me.

Mr. Wei,

Xingxia is now at 9.4,

Start to buy in.

Okay.

Three hundred shares of Xingxia.

Mr. Yu,

Xingxia's stock price is stable.

It's rising.

The little bastard has started to buy?

Are the funds ready?

We're just waiting for your order.

That bastard Wei Ruolai

spent a lot of money

to lower the stock price.

We must buy it all in

faster than he can.

Mr. Wei,

shall we continue to buy?

Yes.

Okay, buy 300 shares.

Mr. Wei.

shall we continue to buy?

Yes. Go on.

Buy 500 shares of Xingxia.

Mr. Wei.

How is it?

Xingxia's stock price is rebounding.

We didn't buy in that much.

Someone must be buying in bulk.

Look, it's still rising.

We lowered the stock price,

but they are buying them.

They're benefiting off our efforts.

We have to stop.

You're in big trouble this time.

I must call Mr. Shen.

Wait!

Mr. Liu.

Short-sell everything.

Force Xingxia's price down and then buy them up quickly.

Wei Ruolai, are you crazy?

Go!

We'll buy up everything

he sells.

After this is done,

I'll send Shen Tunan a gift basket

to thank Central Bank for the help.

You, 3000.

You, 5000. Force Xingxia's price down.

Hurry up.

Hello, is this Mr. Wang?

This is Mr. Liu.

Please transfer 200,000 to my account.

Mr. Liu!

Why is the stock price not moving?

I asked you to short-sell everything!

We've been selling them,

but someone keeps buying it.

We can't get it to 9.8.

Whatever is sold is bought up immediately.

Then short-sell everything.

Force the price down.

Down!

If we sell any more,

we'll lose more chips.

You'll be the last one out.

9.8 is their key point.

Trust me.

If we force the price down,

we will win.

Go.

Mr. Wei.

We've lost a lot so far.

Are you sure you want to continue?

In a close fight,

it depends on who perseveres till the end.

I represent Mr. Shen now.

Go do it!

Take a break.

Mr. Shen.

I'll take over from now on.

Sir.

As long as we can get to this point,

we can take down Xingxia.

Wake up, Ruolai.

They're just waiting for you

to walk into the trap they've set.

Don't be spiteful.

Obsession is taboo in the stock market.

Let's go meet Yu Shiqing.

Yes.

Just wait and see.

Advisor Shen, you're here.

Mr. Yu.

Advisor Shen,

you look so pale today.

I have a premium ginseng root in my room.

You can have it to nourish your energy.

I appreciate your kindness.

Don’t mention it.

I'll get it sent to your residence tomorrow morning.

Come, have a seat.

Mr. Shen is in his prime.

But Mr. Yu,

at your age,

ginseng is necessary.

Congyun.

How dare you!

Advisor Shen.

I don't mean to nag,

but it seems you haven't been

managing your men well.

A secretary and an assistant,

both

so sarcastic.

They're a disgrace to you.

How will you work in the future?

Mr. Yu, don't mind them.

They know I was wronged.

They just want to stand up for me.

Please forgive them.

What about you?

What do you think?

I don't like to waste time talking.

It's pointless to bicker.

It's better to give a slap in the face.

What do you mean?

Haven't you received the call?

What call?

Hello.

Mr. Yu.

Bad news!

The Central Bank's Treasury Department raided Xingxia

and confiscated all the official seals.

Our document vaults

have been taken over by force.

What?

Advisor Shen.

Are you trying to make things difficult for me?

It’s not that.

Mr. Yu,

don't you know what you've done?

Xingxia Bank is suspected of financial fraud,

tax evasion,

and smuggling and trafficking goods.

What's worse is

funding Western powers for

espionage activities.

I can only

describe

what you did with this phrase:

"I'm convinced."

In a few days,

Central Bank will send commissioners

to take over Xingxia.

Mr. Yu,

please cooperate with us then.

Shen Tunan, don't go too far.

I have no choice.

To solidify

Central Bank's foundation,

we need everyone's help.

Fine.

Shen Tunan.

You won this time.

I'll make you

pay for it!

Sir.

So you

have a backup plan.

That doesn't change

your performance just now.

Tell me.

How do you feel?

Sorry, Sir.

It's my fault today.

I underestimated my opponent.

Wrong.

Rather,

you overestimated yourself.

You underestimated your enemy.

When you found you were trapped,

you became more aggressive and made it worse.

You're smart

and quick-witted.

But Wei Ruolai,

you're just a mortal.

You don't have superpowers.

You're not omnipotent.

Yes.

Remember,

all talented people

are defeated by pride.

To win, you have make peace with losing.

Never forget,

always act

with extreme caution.

Got it, Sir.

Sir.

You must've been investigating Xingxia for a while,

since you've gathered so much information.

Thank Congyun.

One day at work,

I suddenly found an extra roll film in my bag.

I developed the photos

and they were of a ledger.

It's all evidence of Yu Shiqing's crimes.

So I wrote a report to Mr. Shen.

At first, we thought

it was a trap.

So it took some time

to investigate and verify.

After we confirmed it was authentic,

we took action.

Did you find out

who gave you the roll film?

It doesn't matter.

Yu Shiqing has been in Shanghai for many years.

I doubt I'm the only enemy he has.

Get in.

Okay.

[Hong Fang Clothing Shop]

We're here.

Thank you.

Is Mr. Xu in?

Miss Shen, you're here.

He's upstairs.

Thank you.

Mr. Xu.

Why are you here?

Lunar New Year is coming.

I brought you some rice cakes.

You have good news.

Xingxia Bank has been taken down.

Well done.

It's not just my credit,

but ours.

Next,

get Xingxia's clientele information

as soon as possible

and sell all our tungsten ores.

Don’t worry.

Excuse me.

Now that we've taken Xingxia down,

we have

finally become

the true Central Bank based on our merits.

In order to get this far,

Mr. Shen spent three years.

Our batch just made it last minute

and are reaping what we didn't sow.

That's still our luck.

Lunar New Year is coming.

There are tax reforms this year.

We also demolished those imperial banks

like Xingxia

that don't follow orders.

Secretary Huang,

we'll get decent bonuses,

right?

-Time flies. -Sir.

Chief Deng.

Another busy year has passed.

Sit down.

Take a seat.

Come on.

Go to the middle.

Hurry up.

Get to your places.

The previous employees

now work for the Treasury Department.

They're Central Bank's backbone.

I think this batch

is promising too.

Trust me.

They seem decent.

Straighten your backs.

In the future,

you will be the pillars of our country's

economy.

A pillar

should look the part.

Be vibrant

and high-spirited.

Got it.

Louder.

Got it!

Let's take photos.

Spruce yourselves up.

Okay, let's take the photos.

Okay, look at me.

Look at me.

Smile on the count of three.

One, two, three.

All right.

All right, get back to work.

Okay.

Chief Deng.

I have something to attend to.

Go in first.

Okay.

Ruolai.

Come with me.

Okay.

Don't you want to know where?

Didn't you say

I don't have spare time from now on?

Good.

Congyun.

Help Ruolai carry the chair upstairs.

Let's go.

Get in.

Okay.

Let me try it.

You have to say something auspicious first.

Got it.

200,000 enemy soldiers invaded again,

smoke covering

half the sky.

Awaken millions of peasants

to work together.

Red flags fluttering under Mount Buzhou.

Wait.

Do you have good news?

Why are you so happy?

Take a guess.

Guess?

Was the encirclement campaign in Jiangxi a success?

It was a great victory.

Great victory?

They captured Zhang Huizan, the commander-in-chief

of the front line, alive.

This poem was written

to celebrate the victory of encirclement campaigns.

Great!

By the way, you can take credit

for this win too.

Me?

I didn't do anything.

With the Central Bank budget you gave me,

through the flow of funds,

the number and firepower of the enemy could be estimated.

Careful arrangements were made in advance.

In the battle of Longgang,

over 9,000 people

from the 18th Division and two brigades

were captured,

and nearly 10,000 guns were seized.

More than

one million bullets were shot.

It's so satisfying.

This battle was really hard.

Did you receive

any follow-up instructions?

Have you got the latest information on the arsenal?

Welcome.

Please come in.

Is Mr. Xu in?

Yes.

Call him for me.

Boss.

Mr. Shen is here.

I'll go.

Boss, Mr. Shen is downstairs.

Mr. Shen!

Mr. Xu.

Welcome.

I'm here today

with a new customer.

I'm a regular.

Yes.

Show me your

best skills.

Don't worry.

I'll make the clothes myself for customers you introduce.

Ruolai.

Come here.

Look at his great figure.

Make him

a few decent suits.

What's your name?

I'm Wei Ruolai.

I'm Mr. Shen's assistant.

Okay, let me measure your back.

Raise your head and chest.

Every suit is hand sewn

with countless stitches.

Shoulders' width.

14.

With swift movements.

Fully equipped with four skills.

Sleeve length.

Boss.

Have I seen you before?

Many

pass by my store.

It's not unusual

to have seen me.

Come on.

Wait.

Don't move.

You sound very familiar.

Did you also attend

Shen Residence's banquet?

You refused the wine offered by the waiter

and ordered a sour plum drink,

right?

Yes.

Brilliant memory.

That's why he's my assistant.

Great.

Here.

Different colors.

Different textures.

Take your pick.

This...

Why?

I have enough clothes.

I don't need it.

Come here.

What do you see?

A mirror.

Wrong.

What I see

is a financial

rising star.

You may seem green now,

but soon,

everyone in Shanghai banking

will be honored to know you.

Do you believe me?

Yes.

I believe everything you say.

Clothes make the man.

From now on,

from inside to outside,

you must be confident.

Mr. Xu

is not an ordinary tailor.

He's an artist.

Be honored he's personally

making your clothes.

Like Jinzhen,

who looks demure

when she wears his clothes.

You flatter me.

Miss Shen's

looks, figure, and aura are unmatched.

No matter what she wears, she's the focus

in the crowd.

Jinzhen isn't here.

Do you really mean that, Mr. Xu?

Look.

I think Miss Shen

is quite pleasant-looking.

She speaks elegantly

and can play the piano.

See?

You just said

pleasant-looking, not beautiful.

That sold you out.

Later,

if there's a chance,

I'll take you to the arsenal.

Go and watch

Jinzhen shoot with the Maxim gun.

That's who she really is.

Both are good.

I want both.

Add one more.

Sure.

Mr. Xu.

I forgot something.

Add a lining to his right elbow.

He writes with a lot of force.

Okay.

He wore down the iridium pen tip.

No problem. Don't worry.

Come on.

Which shoes do you like?

This one.

Why?

Because...

Because it's cheap.

No.

These two pairs.

Mr. Xu.

I want these two.

Use the top layer of cowhide.

You're so knowledgeable.

These are my best shoes.

Really.

Three pairs.

Mr. Shen.

You're spending a fortune.

Mr. Shen.

I'll round it down.

60 silver dollars.

Put it on my tab.

I'll pay upon collection.

Sure, sure.

See you.

Okay.

Ruolai.

Sit here.

Come on.

Why didn't she eat it?

Central Bank recently allocated

13 million to the arsenal.

Orders for guns and bullets produced by the Ordnance Department

have doubled.

I predict

the 2nd military siege

is not far.

And the military power might double.

Here's a list of various weapons.

Something bothering you?

No, Sir.

Don't worry about money.

Don't you get paid tomorrow?

Yes.

I get paid 15 silver dollars a month.

So I'm giving you a raise.

50 silver dollars per month.

50?
