Wake up.
Senior, it's time to wake up.
Let me sleep a little more.
What is this?
ID cards?
So many ID cards.
Where did you get this?
I borrowed these ID cards
from half of the members of the village.
There are more than 100 here. I guess it's enough.
This... This is more than enough.
Wait a minute.
This is not enough.
Can you get me 100 more?
Talk to the remaining half of the village too.
I need at least 100 more.
Forget it, then. Give it back to me.
Please, don't.
I was just kidding.
Don't try to push your luck. Get out of bed now.
Thanks, Junior.

Brother Xiao...
What's wrong?
(Please park in the designated area. Do not litter here.)
Brother Xiao. Keep this.
I've been working as an assistant in the office.
I haven't earned any commission yet.
One thousand and two hundred yuan is all I have. You can keep this.
Look at you.
You don't have much usually,
and you hardly buy new clothes for yourself.
But you're lending me money now.
Keep it.
- No... - Keep it.
Those won't be helpful.
- Listen to me. - No.
I'm just trying to help. I've got to go.
Brother Xiao. I'll cut straight to the chase.
I'll lend you all of these 1500 yuan. Don't worry about paying it back.
When I asked you yesterday,
you said you were going to lend him 1000 yuan.
Why is there an extra 500 now?
I found some more money.
This is none of your business.
No.
Brother Xiao, stay here.
I'll go get you another 300 yuan.
That's enough.
What's the matter with you two?
You are fighting to lend me money.
I don't want to lose.
Fine.
I'll keep
the money.
Let's go.
(Bulletin Board) Don't worry. I'll make sure to pay you back
with interest.
We can even earn interest from this.
(Unity and Perseverance) Director Tan, this is the report I made.
Here. Everyone takes one.
("Code Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement") I have read
Xu Yang's report on cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
He did a meticulous calculation
on how much profit we could increase in every step.
This is certainly feasible.
If we go according to this plan,
by how much can we increase our annual sales?
I estimate we can sell 100 more units.
If we apply the cost reduction and the efficiency enhancement,
I guess
we can sell another 150 units more.
Yes.
Anything else?
Tan, we are talking based on facts.
If you can't provide
anything constructive,
I guess we shall adjourn the meeting.
Wait a minute.
(Huayan Summer Internship Recruitment) Register here.
I'm still feeling a little uneasy.
Xiao Chuang won't allow this.
When will he return this?
According to him, latest on 10th of August.
There's nothing to worry about then.
We'll just return the ID cards to them
and say that the internship has been canceled. Nothing will happen.
Thanks. Next.
I don't think it's nice doing this.
I've already borrowed the venue from the Students' Union,
and have sent out all the notices.
If you back out now,
it will make me look really bad.
This is not how you write your resume.
You didn't write anything
under Skills and Achievements.
What should I do now?
Sign here first.
That's enough. Don't go overboard.
We're just collecting the ID cards and we shouldn't be picky.
This is my first time having such power.
I can't let this opportunity go to waste.
I'll let you go this time.
Remember to prepare a proper resume next time.
Sure. Thanks.
Next.
Friend, you look quite...
(Jiang Jia Dong, Bao'an District, Shenzhen) Jiang Jia Dong.
You're from the Special Zone.
I'm from Bao'an.
Sign here.
We shall keep this separately. It'll be of great use.
How so?
My dad often travels to Shenzhen for business.
He said if you have an ID card with a Shenzhen address,
you don't even need a Border Defense Permit to cross the border.
Xiao Chuang will surely find this helpful.
That's great.
I'm done.
It's done.
Next.
Director Lin,
I did some research.
Some companies relied solely on distribution
and were able to sell more than 1,500 units
just in Shanghai and Guangdong,
these two major cities.
If we can incorporate their sales channel
with our strength,
I believe we can achieve
an annual sales target of 3,000 units or even more.
The agents' commission will be paid
from our net profit.
After we deduct all of these,
even if we can sell 3,000 units,
we won't see an increase in our profit.
Yes. More importantly, it won't be easy to manage this.
It's hard to ensure that the agents are selling the products at the agreed areas and price.
How are we going to manage this?
There will be risks if we are going to do distribution marketing.
All the distributors are their own bosses.
They don't work in groups and it's difficult to manage them.
We can't be sure the customers always get what we want to sell.
However, in the long run,
we'll hit a ceiling effect soon
if we keep running our business like a small workshop.
Pei Qing Hua, explain it.
How are we a small workshop?
Lin, we have limited manpower.
At best, we can sell slightly more than 1,000 units a year.
Of course, that makes us a small workshop.
I'll be honest with you today.
Pei
spoke my mind.
The channel
is the key to go beyond the ceiling.
If we succeed
in distribution and agency system,
our sales will increase at least by ten-fold.
If you don't believe it, we can give it a try.
Director Tan, how about this?
Let me try till the end of the year.
If the sales haven't increased by then,
we will try distribution.
The faculty only allows us one year.
I don't have time to spare.
Excuse me.
I don't see
what's the point of this debate.
What you are saying is not in conflict with each other.
Sure. If they aren't in conflict with each other,
I'll give it a try.
Two thousand and six hundred.
Three thousand.
Five thousand and six hundred.
I don't have
enough travel budget.
You don't even have 10,000 yuan. How are you going to Shenzhen?
Shenzhen?
Stop pretending.
Chapter 47 of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Xu Shu grabbed Pang Tong, and said,
"Huang Gai is using the 'personal injury ruse'. Kan Ze presented a letter of pretended desertion.
You have proffered the fatal scheme of chaining the ships together.
This may have been enough to deceive Cao Cao, but I saw it all."
Stop beating around the bush.
The day before yesterday, Pei Qing Hua was going around borrowing ID cards.
Later, he borrowed money from others at the gathering as well.
If I'm right, it's about time for you to submit your leave application.
Why? Are you going to sneak on me?
I'm here to tell you
that you need to trust your colleagues more.
We have always been supporting you.
You shouldn't lie to us.
How much more do you need?
About 5000 yuan.
Spend prudently. I only have 5000 yuan with me.
Others lend me money
because they are my friends.
You've never liked me.
Why are you lending me money?
Everyone has down days.
I hope that when I'm stuck in my down days,
you can lend me a helping hand too.
Take care of yourself.
That's enough.
Hey, Xiao Chuang.
You said you weren't missing me.
If you aren't missing me,
why would you call my name immediately after you picked up the call?
You're the only idle guy I know.
No one else will call me
this early in the morning.
I didn't call you because I have nothing to do.
I called to tell you
a piece of important news.
What is it?
I've sorted out the training fee.
Soon, I'll settle it for you.
Where did you get such a huge amount of money?
Don't be reckless.
Don't worry.
I'll make good use of my intelligence
and earn the fee above board.
You can submit your leave application now.
What did you say? More than 10 days?
How dare you.
You missed the meeting yesterday,
and now you're here to submit your leave application.
Tell me.
What do you think about the distribution system?
Director Tan,
I have already told Pei Qing Hua
that I will give you my full support.
However, I'm forced
to ask for leave.
What is the reason?
Haven't my parents always been staying in the Northwest?
I don't meet them often.
Coincidentally,
they have just completed a project.
I'm going to meet them.
That sounds rather reasonable,
but you're requesting a relatively long leave of absence.
How about this?
Submit your leave application to Director Lin.
Why should I approach Director Lin for this?
Can't you approve this for me, Director Tan?
Please, Director Tan.
Please approve this.
We haven't decided how to execute the distribution system.
Lin is still mad.
I'm leaving this weekend,
and I will be back in the middle of next month.
I'm warning you.
We're in dire need of manpower.
Ten days. No more.
Ten days.
Director Tan.
The distribution system...
Leave.
(Jiang Jia Dong)
Jiang Jia Dong.
I am Jiang Jia Dong.
When are you leaving?
I'll take the express train tomorrow morning.
Can you speak clearly?
Tomorrow morning.
You won't understand.
I'm trying to adapt to my new role.
Fortunately, I have watched plenty of videotapes.
Otherwise, I'll give myself away once I speak at the border.
I need to tell you something.
We have entrusted all our savings to you.
You'll spend a lot at the Special Zone.
You don't have much travel budget, so do spend prudently.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to tighten my purse string.
Everything did happen quite smoothly.
I got the money and the ID cards so easily.
There's a path in the mountains, and a bridge across the river.
Everything went just my way.
We are willing to help you
because you are who you are.
I'll hit the sack.
Wait a minute.
Junior, don't sleep first. Do me a favor.
What?
Can you play the officer at the border?
Let's see
(300 Cantonese Sentence for Beginners) if this Cantonese for Beginner is useful.
Here.
I am Jiang Jia Dong.
I live at 131 Xingsheng Road, Bao'an.
I study at a university in Beijing.
I came back to Shenzhen...
I'm going back to visit my parents in Shenzhen.
The summer vacation is almost over. Why are you only back now?
I failed and had to study to resit my exam.
You have no idea
how difficult things are at the university in Beijing.
All right. Just go.

Do you even know how to play?
Mister, how much is this?
Okay.
Mister, how much is a bag of cookies?
Two and a half yuan.
Two and a half yuan?
It costs eighty cents in Beijing, and you're selling it at two and a half yuan.
This is daylight robbery. Can you give me a discount?
Daylight robbery? I used to sell it at eighty cents too.
Look at how much it's sold in the market now.
You guys are earning big bucks.
Don't care about small changes like this.
Are you buying? Otherwise, just leave.
Eighty cents? You're in Shenzhen.
Mister.
I see you're a fan of Liverpool too.
Ian Rush. My favorite footballer.
All right. I'll give you a discount. Two yuan and forty cents.
Two yuan, please.
We're all Liverpool fans, and hence we are family.
You should each take a step back. Two yuan and twenty cents.
Sure. Two yuan.
Thanks, bro.
Who is your bro? He's Big Brother.
There's no need for that.
I'll buy all the biscuits of this brand here.
What are you doing?
I've visited at least seven convenience stores.
Everyone wants to buy this.
If I'm not buying, why would I negotiate with the boss on your behalf?
Sure.
You can't do this.
First come, first serve.
What is this?
I pay first.
Of course, he should sell it to me.
Yes.
Mister, didn't you come from Beijing?
You're from the capital and you shouldn't be so stingy.
I'll pay five yuan for one pack,
and I'll take everything from your store.
Sure.
Here.
Each of you will get 100 yuan,
a drink and a meal.
I'll be waiting for you outside the bank.
Each of you will take ten of these ID cards.
Use the money I gave you and purchase the stock subscription certificates.
There are two things you should bear in mind.
Firstly, avoid drinking too much water.
Secondly, don't throw away the bottles after you finish the water.
Bottles
are more expensive than the water now.
If you leave the queue to go to the washroom,
your effort will go to waste.
Cover it with your clothes and settle it in the bottle.
If there's no other question,
the registration will start now.
Write your names on the notebook.
I'll pay you,
and you'll grab the rations yourself.
There's one thing.
You must leave your ID cards with me.
Let's start with you.
Where's your ID card?
I lent it to someone.
You should leave then.
Keep writing.
Here.
Haven't I registered already?
I won't be working with you anymore.
Why?
I don't deal with people who don't keep their words.
Get out.
Just you wait.
Brothers, the most important thing in a business
is honesty.
You can ask around.
The wage I offer is undoubtedly the highest.
Let's be considerate of each other.
I'm offering my best to you,
and you should be responsible too. All right?
Okay. We'll listen to you.
Keep going.
It's bustling in Shenzhen.
They started selling the lottery tickets yesterday.
They started queuing up the day before yesterday.
One subscription form can be used to get 1,000 units.
If you earn one yuan per unit,
you'll get 1,000 yuan.
Exactly.
Can you lend me 3,000 yuan?
If I'm able to get the lottery ticket and earn money,
I'll return it to you with interest.
I don't have so much money.
Let's take a break.
Listen to me as you eat.
Over there. Give me a moment.
Shenzhen has released lottery tickets,
and has attracted a big crowd into Shenzhen.
This is worse than the previous time.
Because this is a critical period,
I'm here to give you a piece of advice.
Especially to some of you here.
Be sure to never soil your hands,
and never practice favoritism.
We need to cooperate with Shenzhen's office
and not repeat what happened before. All right?
What do you mean?
(ERA BANK OF CHINA)
Who soiled their hands?
Make it clear.
I'm not referring to anyone specific.
I just don't want some of you
to repeat your mistakes.
Then I'll give you a reminder as well.
Be an upright man and stop insinuating.
I did make a mistake,
but the worst mistake I made
was believing in you.
I won't be shy today.
I'll sit here.
Sit here.
Take a seat.
Sit down.
All of us
should stay composed.
Don't worry.
Those guys from Huayan
are obviously coming at us.
Yes.
They are more desperate than us.
Exactly.
If they want to talk to us,
they need to show us their sincerity, right?
We must work together
and stand firm on the same ground.
If they can offer us
a 5% commission,
we will talk to them.
Do you agree with me?
Yes.
We must stand united.
It should be 5% and no less.
Why aren't they here yet?
(TAXI)
Director, it's been ten minutes.
The agents should be there already.
Shall we go in?
Don't rush.
This is psychological warfare.
We'll let them hang for a while more.
The primary concern is just the commission.
If we offer them too little, they won't work with us.
If we offer them too much, it will reduce our profit.
You're right.
I've been reading some books regarding marketing techniques.
There are a lot of strategies involved.
What about this?
We'll do as I said.
Mr. Tan, thanks for the meal.
As you can see, we're all busy men.
If you don't have anything else to say,
shall we...
Fine. Let me say a few words.
You came from all over the country
to Beijing,
right?
You're here because you want to work with Huayan.
Unfortunately,
we're seeing a downward trend in the computer market this year.
We are all having a hard time
as you can see.
What I'm saying is
we cannot afford to offer you a 5% commission.
At best, we can give you a 4%.
What a joke.
Sorry, Mr. Tan.
I have another meeting to attend later.
I'll see you around.
Let's go.
Wait a minute.
What are your thoughts
on the stair-step commission structure?
The stair-step commission structure?
When you achieve a sales target of one million, you'll get 4%.
When achieving the target of three million, you'll get a 5% of the commission.
If you can't even achieve one million sales,
you'll only get a 3%.
Who are you to talk to us like this?
Exactly.
Mr. Tan is sitting right here. You're in no position to talk.
I'm Pei Qing Hua,
the sales manager of Huayan.
I...
Mr. Pei, what do you mean?
Are you trying to embarrass me?
Director Tan, that's not my intention.
Then, what is this all about?
I'm warning you.
Mr. Lin already said it must be 4%.
I understand the difficulties the company is facing.
This...
But it's not easy to gather everyone here.
They are all big bosses, right?
Besides, the Conpo Computer
has a good future.
It's not impossible
to hit a sales target of three million.
Look. If we can do this,
not only can we meet the customers' requirements,
but we can also make you proud.
Don't worry.
I'll talk to Director Lin on your behalf.
You'll talk to him?
Let me ask you.
If we can't hit the sales target of three million,
what will you do?
Director Tan, if that really happens,
you can forfeit the bonus
of the entire Sales Department.
We'll give up our bonus
and turn it into rewards for those who sign a contract with us.
The first three persons to sign the contract
will get 3,000 yuan
from each one of us in the Sales Department
as a lucky head-start.
These are your words.
Yes, they are.
Misters,
I'm risking my career
and upsetting my superior
just to defend your rights.
The more you sell, the more you earn.
What are you waiting for?
If you decide
to work with Huayan,
this will definitely be a win-win situation.
That's a good idea.
Yes.
See?
A forced cooperation won't be a good cooperation.
I guess that's it for today.
All right, guys. Enjoy your dinner.
Waiter. Get me the bill.
Don't leave just yet.
Director Tan, let me explain.
Are you leaving already?
That wasn't what I meant.
Why are they arguing with each other?
(Instant-boiled mutton)
Director Tan.
Did I mess it up?
You did just fine.
Sneak a glance
and see if anyone's following us.
Be discreet.
There isn't anyone yet.
Not even one?
Not even one.
They thought they could please us with this small amount of money.
Do we look like beggars to them?
Yes.
Don't even think about it.
Liu, where are you going?
Didn't I say it just now? I have another meeting to attend.
I'm running late.
See you around.
Meeting?
Who has a meeting at this hour of the day?
What should we do now?
Shall we stay for a bit?
No.
They must be watching us now.
Keep walking.
Keep walking?
What if no one comes out?
He left his bag behind.
That's not good.
This guy.
Where are you going? Wait for me.
Do you see the sentry box right there?
If we reach there, and there's still no one after us,
we'll turn back.
Slow down.
Where are you going?
Excuse me, misters.
(Express mail to connect people from all over the world)
(Newsstand)
Misters. I've given it a thought.
I'll join you.
He's right there.
Director Tan.
(Dianchun Market) I am the first one.
You have to fulfill your promise
and give me the 3,000 yuan of reward.
I'm the second one.
You're not the second one.
We are.
What second? What third?
Wait a minute.
Mr. Pei, I have an idea.
Let's not do this on a quota basis.
You should reward all the participants.
Right?
Sure.
Sure. Right.
Am I right?
Yes.
Sure.
As long as you are willing to work with Huayan,
I'll agree to this.
Great.
Yes. Great.
(Era Bank of China) Madam, do you have tickets to sell?
I'll pay you this amount.
I told you before
to offer a higher price.
Mister, do you have tickets to sell?
I'll pay you this amount.
It's you. Do you have tickets to sell?
I've sold them all out.
Didn't you say that you won't buy tickets?
Why did you sell all of them?
The market is doing too well.
I sold them all out when I got offered a good price.
What about you? Why are you buying tickets again?
I sold it at a low price last time.
Now, I want to buy it all back and hold it.
When there is another IPO,
it will be worth more than this.
Are you still holding any? I'll offer you a good price.
We haven't settled our argument
for the biscuit the previous time.
I won't sell it to you either even if I have any.
I'm going to send money.
Mister, I want the best wine you have.
Sure.
Have you earned some money? Congratulations!
(Cigarettes, Beverages, Beer, Commodities)
Good wine.
Keep the change.
Thanks.
A piece of advice for you.
You can't do
what you did last time.
Besides, I'm a fan
of Arsenal.
Hello.
Xie Hang, it's me.
Why are you calling me at this hour?
I'm off work. I'm just wrapping things up.
I call you
to tell you
that you can return to Beijing really soon.
You can quit your job
really soon too.
Are you drunk?
I need to celebrate such a good day with some alcohol.
From now on,
we can appreciate the peach blossoms together every year.
Not only the peach blossoms,
but also the cherry blossoms.
The crabapple blossoms, the pear blossoms.
We can appreciate whatever we want.
We will appreciate them
whenever we want.
You're obviously drunk.
You can't even speak properly.
I'm happy to hear what you say.
It's a huge amount,
and it's not something that can be settled overnight.
I'll have to figure it out.
No, Xie Hang. You didn't get it.
- I'm saying... - Xie Hang,
can you hurry up?
The bank governor is calling for me. I've got to go.
Talk to you later.

I'll be honest with you.

Brother Xiao is not being a good friend.
He should have brought me along.
Keep your voice low. Don't let the superior hear this.
Don't you find this weird?
Even if he gets the lottery tickets,
it will take a few more days before they release the result,
not to mention that he will only get the IPO a month later.
Besides, he sent the money four days ago.
Why is he not back yet?

Did he go to Shenzhen?
Was he there
to get the stock subscription certificates?
Are you the girl who was here for him?

What can we do?
If anyone comes to us again,
we shall simply tell them they are not chosen.
There's no other choice.
Tan Yuan.
You're finally here.
Why are you here?
I have something to ask you.
When will Xiao Chuang be back?
I haven't heard from Xiao Chuang recently.
Why are you so concerned about Xiao Chuang?
No. I'm just...
I'm caring for a friend.
Are you hiding something from me?
No.
Tell me the truth.
Xiao Chuang went to Shenzhen. Are you involved in this?
If that's the case, I'll be honest with you.
I borrowed 100 ID cards
from my schoolmates for him.
He promised that he'd return them in 10 days.
It's now overdue.
Those schoolmates are after me.
That's absurd.
Why wasn't I informed about something this important?
Are you upset?
Did Xiao Chuang send you money too?
Yes. A lot of money.
It doesn't matter how much money he gave me.
I dare not spend any of it.
I only want those ID cards back.
Hello.
Can you bring me to Xiao Chuang's colleague?
Xiao Chuang? He's not from our lab.
You are... Xie Hang?
I met you before. Shouldn't you be in Shanghai now?
I remember you.
You're Pei Qing Hua, his roommate.
Here.
Thanks.
I've been calling you for several days,
but none of you had any idea where did he go.
I am too anxious. So I come all the way here to find out what is going on.
He indeed went to Shenzhen.
I blame myself for being too careless.
I called him once,
but I didn't ask
for his hotel's phone number and address.
I got it.
I'm the one to blame.
None of this would have happened
if I didn't tell him about the training fee.
Shenzhen is now strictly regulated.
For the better case, he was only arrested.
I can't bear to imagine
if anything worse happens.
Can we trust him?
No. I need to go to Shenzhen.
I would have already been there if this was possible.
Shenzhen is now strictly regulated.
No one can enter the area without a Border Defense Permit.
Perhaps, you should ask your superiors for advice.
No. Don't do this.
If we do this, we'll be betraying Xiao Chuang.
There's a major issue going on.
Do you think we can hide this?
Zhang Ping Ping. Which one of you is Zhang Ping Ping?
Me. I am Zhang Ping Ping.
Someone's here to bail you out. Get ready.
It's over.
You're going out soon.
Why do you still look upset?
It must be my Big Brother.
Not only did I fail to earn any money,
but I also lost all the capital.
How am I going to explain this to him?
Even if I get to go out now,
I'm terribly broke now.
Yes, I sold it.
Why did I purchase it at a higher price?
Greedy. Greedy.
We were business partners,
and were locked up together.
I guess we are friends.
What do you want?
Say it.
It's nothing big.
When you're out,
give my friend a call to tell her that I'm safe.
Good friend.
You wish!
Five hundred yuan.
Five hundred yuan for a call?
This is daylight robbery.
You've earned so much.
I'm only charging you 500 yuan. Is that a lot?
Okay then, 500 yuan.
You have to keep your words.
I should be the one saying this.
Real men keep their promises.
My name is Xiao Chuang. It means having adventures. What's yours?
Zhang Ping Ping. It means we only meet by chance.
How did you get a girl's name?
It's elegant.
I'll give you the phone number now.
Memorize it.
I'll first tell you the address you should send the money to.
Memorize it.
Sure.
