Who did this?
Who else? Zhao Si Hu.
Only a bastard like him would do such a thing.
They hit your head?
I did it myself.
Consider it an interest.

What's wrong?
Are you missing Xie Hang?
Thinking back on it,
breaking up with her was the right decision.
Don't think about that at a time like this.
You should find a place to hide for now.
Zhao Si Hu has a bunch of gangsters working for him.
They'll do anything when they're pushed too far.
Here's 2000.
Take it.
Brother Lu.
I owe you 102,000.
I'll definitely pay you back.
Oh, don't bother about that.
Quickly. Find a place to hide
before it gets dark.
(Hainiu Technology Development Co. LTD)
Be careful
when you get there.
Let me know
when you find a place to stay.
All right.
I'll be going now.
Take care of yourself.
Hello?
May I ask who you are looking for?
I would like to speak to Xie Hang, please.
Xie Hang has already left.
Then, could you please let her know
that Xiao Chuang is looking for her?
She left. She changed jobs.
She changed jobs?
How about this? Give me your number.
I'll let her know you called.
Please note this down.
020-9001568.
All right. I'll let her know.
Thank you.
Brother, lend me a lighter.
I don't smoke.
Do you know where they sell lighters then?
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Come on.
Hey.
We're rich!
I get a share, too, right?
Let's go and eat at the food stalls later.
Get up.
We're going to get something to eat.
Keep an eye on him.
I haven't eaten either.
You've slept all day, and you still want to eat?
You're just like a pig.
So much money.
I'm worried I won't be able
to control him when he wakes up.
He is tied up. What are you afraid of?
If he does get up later,
knock him out with this bat.
Like this. Understand?
He won't die, right?
When Brother Hu comes back,
this guy will be thrown into the agitator.
Come on. Let's grab night snacks.
Out of my way.
(RULER)
Is anyone there?
Is anyone here?
Don't throw up in the bag.
Don't catch me. I really don't have any money left.
Xiao Chuang!
It's me. Ping Ping.
Ping Ping?
Who are you?
Zhang Ping Ping.
We met in the detention center.
In Shenzhen.
(Turn over a new leaf and begin a new life) I... I'm Zhang Ping Ping.
After you get out of here,
help me make a call
and tell my friend that I'm all right.
(Five hundred for a phone call?)
(Are you trying to rob me blind?)
What is this place?
Why are you here?
That's my question.
I work for Brother Hu.
He said they were going to do something big tonight
and he wanted me to see it.
I didn't expect
that it would be you. Unlucky brat.
Of all the people out there,
you just had to cheat him.
I was tricked as well.
Brother.
Can you let me go?
No way.
If I let you go,
I'll be thrown into the agitator.
Agitator?
They're going to deal with you tonight.
Do you know how furious
Brother Hu was when he found out he couldn't get his goods?
He had already let the word out.
The first
entertainment center in Guangzhou with laserdisc players.
Do you know how many people you made him
lose face in front of?
He cares the most about that.
Are you the only one here?
Brother.
We're friends in need.
I gave you the money
back then.
You helped me made that call.
I knew you were
a good person then.
But do you know this?
If you join them tonight,
you'll never be able to go back.
Do you think I wanted to do this?
Do I look like I have a choice?
I have to make a living somehow.
I know.
It'll be trouble for you if you just let me go.
Look. We'll escape together.
We'll get my money back together.
Then, we'll do business together
and earn money together.
Don't you want a proper job?
Don't you want to be a proper man?
Do you want to be a hooligan for your entire life?
I promise
I won't let you down.
I'm a man of my word.
You saw what happened last time...
That's enough.
Zhang Ping Ping.
If you join them tonight,
you'll be a murderer.
You'll never be able to go back!
(Hao's Billiard)
We sure ate a lot just now.
Hey, who is keeping watch on that guy?
Zhang Ping Ping.
Abalone. Shark fin.
I saw a ring I wanted just now.
Can you buy it for me?
All right. I'll buy it for you.
- Really? - Of course.
Where is he?
Xiao Chuang, where are you going?
Xiao Chuang, stop!
Brother Xiao, where are we going?
(Guangxing Grocer)
Let's just run!
I think we lost them.
Where's my mobile phone?
You're lucky enough
to get out alive.
Never mind that phone.
I owe you one, Brother.
Let's not talk about that.
What are we going to do now?
We got on Brother Hu's bad side.
We're dead meat either way.
I can't just do nothing.
I have to find
that fraud.
The world is huge.
Where are you going to look for him?
Do you know where he lives?
The police told me
he was from Foshan.
Are you familiar with that area?
Of course.
I was born and raised in Foshan.
But Foshan is huge.
And you don't even know
his address.
(Wong Fei Hung.)
His family's clinic
(Laserdisc Player) is right across the street from my ancestral house.
(Laserdisc Player) Pochilam.
I have a clue.
He once told me
his ancestral house was near a clinic
called Pochilam.
How about this?
Come with me to Foshan.
I'll make sure you get what you deserve.
It's not as if I have anywhere else to go now.
I have to go with you.
I call you Brother Xiao.
You have to look after me from now on.
All right.
Hello?
It's Wednesday again.
I didn't interrupt your study, did I?
No.
I was waiting for your call.
I can't
talk to you for long today.
You don't have classes today, don't you?
An engineer from Intel
is coming to give a lecture at our university today.
I heard he is going to share a lot of ideas and concepts with us.
Is the universalization rate of computers
as high as they say
in magazines?
Of course.
Almost every family
in my neighborhood has a personal computer.
And they're all 586 computers.
Can you imagine?
Elementary students here
are already using computers.
The 586 computers
are still rare here.
But I think
that will change soon.
Did you know?
Many elementary schools here
are already having microprocessor lessons.
It's a pity that most of the computers
we use are from overseas.
My friends here in the US
don't even know
that China produces computers too.
We even got into an argument.
Although China is still in the early stages
of producing its own computers right now,
I am confident
that there someday, we will be able to export our computers overseas.
By that time,
you'll be able to show them.
Let's not talk about that now.
You have to leave for the lecture soon, right?
We've only been separated for several weeks.
Why do I feel as if
it has been months?
It's no wonder they say that love
is like a marathon.
A marathon is tiring,
but it has an ending.
It's only 42.195 kilometers.
We can make it.
Besides, it's enough
that I can talk to you
every Wednesday.
I'll hang up now.
Pay attention to the lecture.
How is the tea? Good, right?
Not bad.
I brought it out just for you. I can't even bear to drink this on my own usually.
I'll refill it for you.
No need.
I've already had three cups.
But I still can't grasp what you mean.
Zheng.
You've seen how competitive the domestic computer market
is right now.
Foreign brands occupy
75% of the market share.
If this goes on,
more and more of our products
will be left far behind.
You've got me even more confused now.
What exactly are you trying to say?
I'll be blunt.
Backed by your faculty,
Huayan has the advantage in technology.
You've been selling Conpo computers for two years.
You've gained a lot of experience from it.
You have all the right criteria.
I think it's time
to consider producing your own computers.
Look.
Huayan
is still a newly established company.
It's small in size, and there are limited things we can do.
The biggest issue of all
is that it is self-sustained.
There are some things
even I can't decide.
I think you're making it sound worse than it is.
Huayan has the potential.
And you brought up
Tan and Lin as well.
I believe they are just as passionate
about the development of our country's information technology transformation
as you are.
You didn't even ask them,
and you've already said no.
All right.
Seeing that you've already given the order,
I'll discuss it with them.
Thank you, Senior.
Please tell them
that no matter what obstacles they face,
I will support them.
The department will be their strongest support.
All right.
I've delivered
her words.
I'll leave both of you to deliberate
on our response to Ms. Luo.
President.
I think it's still too early
for Huayan
to develop our own computers.
Is that how we're going to answer her?
It would be clearly dismissing her if we say that.
She has already made it very clear.
If you face any problems,
tell her,
and she will try to fix them.
Tan, what do you think?
Then, I'll talk about
the practical issues.
To develop our own computers,
we need to solve the problem of production.
If we talk about production,
we'll need factories, land,
and other things.
Right?
Besides,
with the minuscule amount of money we have,
even if we use all of it,
it'll still be hard for us
to maintain a modern manufacturing plant.
That's right.
Right?
I reckon if you tell Ms. Luo that,
she will be able to understand.
I think Tan's reasoning makes sense.
I didn't even think of that.
Don't you know, President?
Tan is the brain of our operation.
Producing our own computers
is not something we can do
with just passion.
We have so many obstacles in front of us.
Ms. Luo
can't possibly force us, can she?
All right. I'll give our answer
to Ms. Luo now.
(Sales Report)
Brother Pei.
What's wrong?
I got news of something.
Ms. Luo talked to President.
She mentioned that she wanted us to develop our own computers.
Really?
This is a great thing.
When did she bring it up?
Why didn't I know about it?
I heard that President even came
to talk to the directors about it.
But
Director Tan rejected it in the end.
Impossible.
Even if the entire company rejected the idea,
Director Tan would never say no.
It's true.
Everyone is talking about it.
Director Tan has always emphasized developing our own brand of computers.
Now that the opportunity has come,
why did he change his mind all of a sudden?
Is Director Tan in his office right now?
Yes.
Come in.
Director Tan.
I heard you rejected Ms. Luo's proposal
to develop our own computers.
Yes. What about it?
But creating our own brand
has always been a dream of yours, isn't it?
Let me ask you something.
Do you think we are capable of doing that?
Growing up, I was taught
that there is no firewood
that cannot be chopped in half.
As long as we are determined to do so,
we can overcome all difficulties.
All right. Answer these then.
Where is our funding?
Where is our factory?
And where are our sales channels?
Regarding the funding,
we have a steady stream of sales from Conpo's sales channels now.
We have a stable source of funding.
As for the factory,
that is a problem indeed.
But as Ms. Luo brought this up,
I'm sure she'll be willing to help us.
Those are my sentiments as well.
Then...
Then why did you reject the proposal?
I'll be honest with you.
I had no choice.
Do you know what is our biggest challenge right now?
It's not a matter of our advantages.
It's a matter of unity.
You mean it was because of Director Lin?
But the good thing
is that Ms. Luo is a good leader.
President and Lin
have underestimated her determination
to launch our own computers.
I'm also doing this as a way to "retreat as advance".
Understand?
I understand.
(Achieve the fourth Five-Year Plan)
(For the sake of development)
We've been searching for so long, but we still haven't found Pochilam.
I keep feeling as if
we got something wrong.
Then how much longer are we going to look for it?
I don't know.
Until we find him, I guess.
They broke everything in the house.
(Public phone) I told them
that you were already dead.
Don't come back!
Do you still have money?
Send me some.
You're lucky I didn't beat you to death.
Money? Dream on!
Don't call back anymore!
(Wangji Store)
(Public phone, 80 cents a minute for long-distance, 50 cents a minute for local calls)
Call your family too.
I'm worse than you are.
I don't even have a family.
You just don't want to let your family find out about this.
You're just too prideful.
You said you would take care of me.
But I'm almost out of money now.
Since we're almost out of money,
we must catch Huang You Wei as soon as possible.
Hurry. Help me.
It's so heavy.
Ma'am,
have you heard about Pochilam?
What? Pochilam? Never heard of it.
It's a Chinese medicine clinic
called Pochilam.
I don't know that one.
But there is a Chinese medicine clinic
across the street.
(Qianhe Medical)
(Bus Stop, Qianhe Medical)
This is Qianhe Medical.
It's not Pochilam.
(Yashi Hair Salon)
Mister.
Do you know where Pochilam is?
Pochilam?
That dates back to the Qing dynasty.
What?
That dates back to the Qing dynasty.
Then do you know
where it is right now?
They moved out of this old place a long time ago.
But this is where Pochilam used to be.
This is where Pochilam used it be. They moved.
Mister, please take a look.
Do you know this man?
Oh, isn't this the Huang family's son?
You know him?
His parents have passed away.
So he moved to Hong Kong, China.
His parents passed away,
so he moved to Hong Kong, China.
He hasn't come back in a long time.
Help me ask him
if he knows where Huang You Wei's house is.
Mister,
do you know where his house is?
That house has been left empty for a long time now.
It's that one across the street. No one lives there now.
(Yashi Hair Salon) Thank you.
Thank you!
Is anyone here?
Is anyone in there?
This place must have been empty for hundreds of years now.
There's so much dust here.
I already told you
we wouldn't be able to find him.
Get 300 thousand back?
We don't even have 30 yuan
with both of us.
We can't even go back now.
We're dead meat if we go back now.
At least we still have some hope
if we camp here.
Since we don't have any money left,
we can't stay in a hotel.
Let's find a place
to settle down first.
(Goods sold are not returnable)
Hello?
(Public phone)
Brother Lu. It's me, Xiao Chuang.
Xiao Chuang? Where are you right now?
Foshan.
I'm camping out at Huang You Wei's old residence.
I have to get my money back.
I'm not going anywhere until I do.
Why are you all the way in Foshan?
Are you sure you can find him?
I don't have other choices left.
And I don't have anywhere else to go.
Never mind that,
Brother Lu.
I lost my mobile phone.
If you want to reach me,
call this number.
0757-396078.
Ask Mrs. Wang from the grocery store to get me.
All right. Don't worry.
I'll let you know immediately
if anything happens.
Yesterday, Zhao Si Hu
came to my place.
He turned over the entire place
to look for those laserdisc players.
Not only was he not able to be the first to have them in his center,
but his competitors also got ahead of him.
He is furious.
He brought his men with him
and almost tore up the place.
Be careful over there too.
Brother Lu.
I'm sorry to have got you involved.
Oh, don't say that.
We're brothers.
There's no need for that.
I helped you willingly,
didn't I?
Just take care of yourself.
Let me know if you run into any problems.
All right.
Oh, right.
Pei Qing Hua tried to reach you several times.
Call him back when you can, all right?
Got it.
That's all then. I'm hanging up.
Where did you get the binoculars?
I borrowed it from Mrs. Wang.
We have to keep an eye out for Huang You Wei, right?
So I borrowed it from her.
How is the house-hunting going?
I found a place.
Mrs. Wang has a room
upstairs above the store.
We'll be right across that fraud's house.
Water and electricity are included.
I rented the place for three months.
How much is the rent?
Fifty per month.
I paid half of it first.
Five yuan is all I have left.
If you ask me,
I think you should sell your harmonica too.
No way! This is my treasure.
Why don't you sell off your golden monkey charm then?
Impossible.
My grandmother left me this protection charm.
It has been with me for over ten years.
Never mind. Let's just keep them.
It's not worth much anyway.
What are you looking at?
This is our last resort.
We need backup insurance somehow, don't we?
You haven't paid the phone bill yet.
It's 80 cents per minute for long-distance calls.
It's 3.20 yuan in total.
It's 3.20 yuan.
All right. I'll return you 1.80 yuan in change.
That's all we have left.
Never mind. Keep the change.
I'll make another call.
Wait, I...
We only have 1.80 yuan left!
I wanted to buy a pineapple bun.
Hello?
Hello? Junior?
It's me.
You finally called me back.
Lu said you left for a business trip.
But I couldn't reach you
on your mobile phone.
My mobile phone broke.
I'm still on a business trip right now as well.
What is it? Is there something you need?
Well, it's nothing really.
I have good news for you.
Junior, let's make it short.
I'm still busy.
All right.
I'll tell you the most important thing.
I made an achievement.
Conpo agreed to let you come back to Huayan.
Senior.
You can finally come back now.
Hello?
You must be overjoyed.
I knew
this day would come.
I even kept your seat for you.
I am happy.
Well, don't just be happy.
Give me an answer.
Are you going to come back?
Thank you, Junior.
But I think
I need more time
to consider it.
Consider it? What do you mean?
I don't want to go back to Huayan.
Not right now, at least.
Why?
You know me.
I like my freedom.
And now...
I'm rich now.
I made a lot of money.
And you want me to go back there? I...
Well...
Once you see the world outside,
you can't go back.
Junior.
I can't go back.
Xiao Chuang.
You must be kidding, right?
Hello?
That will be another 60 cents.
That's all we have.
Can you put it on the tab first?
You're a man,
and you can't even pay up a few cents?
Go on.
Brother Xiao, where are we going now?
Let's find a job first.
(Electronics Technology News) "The national computer brand's final struggle.
It might be mostly caused
by foreign trade agents.
As the competition for computer sales
intensifies in the new quarter,
domestic brands are losing ground
in the face of competition
from foreign brands,
losing more and more market share."
I guess we're going
to face the music again.
But that means that our Conpo computers
are selling well.
It's a good thing for us.
But if this goes on,
domestic brands
will be fully eliminated from the market.
By that time,
the market will be monopolized by foreign brands.
Director, I'll leave now.
What were you thinking about?
Nothing.
Have you read the news?
Yes.
The content is quite honest.
It points out the issue.
But the wording is a bit harsh.
I don't think so.
I think they haven't been as harsh as they could.
They haven't made it sound bad enough yet.
Here.
Contact Shu Zhi Hong.
Contact her?
What for?
Have them write an article
criticizing Huayan directly.
They can criticize me directly if they want, too.
I only have one request.
Make the wording
as harsh as possible.
I understand.
I'll go and find her right now.
Ms. Shu.
Don't speak first.
Let me guess what you came here for.
Did Huayan think that I was too tough
in that article?
And you want me to write another article to restore your reputation?
You only got half of it right.
I already held back in that paper.
And I only did it because of you.
Otherwise, I would have been even harsher.
If that's what you came for, you can leave now.
I'm not here to ask you to do that.
I'm here to ask you to criticize our current situation
in an even harsher way.
What do you mean?
You're not mad that we called
Huayan an accomplice?
Of course, we are.
We're mad that you weren't harsh enough.
You don't have to hold back at all.
In your next article,
you can name Huayan directly.
You can even put
Director Tan in there as well.
What are you trying to do?
If you don't tell me,
I'm not going to be an accomplice to this.
You think too much.
Electronics Technology News
is an ethical newspaper.
If you want to expose a phenomenon,
you can't do it halfheartedly.
That's just my suggestion
as a reader.
It's the first time someone has complained that I was too gentle.
All right.
I'll send your feedback
to the chief editor.
Don't come crying to me if the next article is too harsh.
Thank you for that then.
Interesting.
Su Xi.
You asked to meet up all of a sudden. Is something the matter?
I was around the area,
so I figured I would meet up with you.
How are you?
Are you settling into your new job?
It's quite challenging.
I've never encountered these things before. What about you?
Oh, you don't even know.
After you guys left,
the person who replaced Lydia was a demon.
He makes us work overtime every day.
Thank you.
I've been busy at Jefferson as well.
I guess we'll both
be busier from now on.
I don't mind working overtime.
But he doesn't even pay us for it.
He wants the horses to run.
But he won't feed them grass.
How much more grass do you want?
We already make a lot
for working in foreign companies.
Well, that's true.
Oh, right. I forgot to ask.
What happened between you and your boyfriend?
We're fine.
He went to Guangzhou.
Fine? You're still trying to hide it.
He didn't even know that you changed jobs.
And he even called Interflow.
He called?
What did he say?
This.
(020-9001586)
Thank you.
Keep finding him. We have to find him!
Brother Hu.
We've looked all over Guangzhou
and we still can't find him.
He might have left by now.
I lost Guangzhou's
best video entertainment center.
Is this yours?
Brother.
A mobile phone.
Who is it?
I don't know.
Hello?
Is Xiao Chuang around?
What's your relationship with him?
I'm his friend.
Friend? He is already on the run.
Tell him
to see me as soon as possible.
Otherwise, things will get tough.
Who are you? What happened to Xiao Chuang?
He knows who I am.
He made me lose face
and lose money.
If he doesn't show up soon,
you'll lose a friend
in this world.
Tell me everything.
What happened to Xiao Chuang?
Hello?
What's wrong?
Help me apply for leave.
Are you washing clothes, Ma'am?
Yes.
Would you like to get a haircut?
No. I'll come again next time.
- All right. - I'll get my hair done next time.
- All right. Come again. - I'll leave now.
Bye.
Ma'am.
How did things go today?
I haven't found a job yet.
You didn't find a job, and you're still peeking?
Is there anything at Huang You Wei's house?
Nothing.
That's why I turned
to look at the salon's owner instead.
Well, we'd better hurry up
and find a job,
or else we won't even be able to afford bananas.
I'm sure you've read the two articles
from Electronics Technology News.
One of those articles named Huayan directly.
Last month,
Kunlun Computers applied for bankruptcy.
That's another domestic brand down.
If this goes on,
what else do we have to compete against foreign brands?
Aren't you concerned?
How could I not be?
But there's nothing I can do right now.
That means you are concerned.
All right. That makes it easier for me to continue.
Kunlun took out a motherboard manufacturing factory
as collateral.
I think Huayan can purchase it at a low price.
Tan said Huayan was short of land and a factory, didn't he?
Well, here's your chance.
I think this is an opportunity
Huayan can't afford to miss.
Junior.
I'm fully supportive
of launching our own brand.
But Huayan is already overwhelmed
by dealing with sales alone.
Wouldn't it be too hasty for us
to launch our own brand at a time like this?
Both Tan and Lin
hold different opinions as well.
And the main problem is funding.
What are we going to do about that?
Well, you don't have to worry about that.
The Electrical and Mechanical Department
has a support policy towards computer trade.
If you are able to launch a domestic brand of our own,
not only will it hold great significance for Huayan,
it will be a great boon for the development of information technology transformation
in our country as well.
Junior, you haven't changed at all.
All right.
Seeing as you've given us
so much support,
we need to do something
to show our appreciation as well.
I'll go back
and discuss it together with everyone.
We will make it happen.
All right.
It's not a problem if you run into difficulties.
Just overcome it.
Success doesn't always come easy, does it?
President.
I still think
we can't be hasty about this.
Many companies
selling computers in the country have fallen
one after another.
Isn't it too high of a risk
for us to enter the market now?
Ms. Luo
is an old classmate of mine.
She is doing everything she can
without asking for anything in return
and serving everything on a platter for us already.
Tell me.
Should we take it or not?
Of course, we must.
Look. Money, production line, and factory.
We have everything now.
Why shouldn't we do it?
I think we can
do it.
Tan.
So many domestic brands have failed.
How are you so confident that we'll be able to do it?
President, we've only begun to make progress
in our sales of Conpo Computers.
If he does this right now,
wouldn't we risk
losing all our hard-earned money
into this project?
Haven't you learned
from Huayan's lesson last time?
Lin. Let's focus on this matter.
You shouldn't mix affairs.
What did you mean by that?
That's enough, Tan.
I only said that in a moment of haste.
Let it go.
President, it is what it is.
I've said what I should as well.
I have some unfinished work.
I'll take my leave first.
Tan, don't go.
We're still discussing, aren't we?
President.
Look at his attitude.
Yi Min.
I don't want to criticize you.
But you know Tan's temper.
When he takes a step too far,
too hastily,
you can pull him back.
If you guys don't stay united,
how are you going to make things work around here?
I understand.
(Ladies and gentlemen from all over the world, )
(let us sing)
(the Olympic theme song)
(together.)
(Mr. Samaranch thanks the five bidding nations)
(on behalf of the International Olympic Committee.)
(He thanks them for their contribution)
(in promoting the Olympic Movement.)
(But we only have one winner.)
(And the city)
(to host the 27th Summer Olympics)
(in 2000 is...)
(Sydney!)
That doesn't make sense!
No... Why?
It should have been China!
(The city to host)
(the 27th Summer Olympics)
(is Sydney.)
(Even though Beijing did not acquire)
(the opportunity to host the 2000 Olympics, )
(they have made)
(a lot of preparations for it.)
(We thank our brethren.)
(I am sure that the Olympic flames)
(will be lit in China one day.)
(All right. Thank you.)
(Thank you.)
(TRIANGLE)
Hello. You are Brother Lu, right?
I...
Is Xiao Chuang around?
I came to see him.
Oh, you are my sister-in-Law, right?
Oh, you look quite pretty.
You're so beautiful.
Wait... You're looking for Xiao Chuang, right?
He left for a business trip
to Hong Kong, China.
He'll be back in a few days.
Brother Lu, you don't have to hide it from me.
What happened to Xiao Chuang exactly?
Where is he?
I...
I can't tell you that.
I promised him.
But don't worry.
He's fine.
- Don't worry... - Please just tell me the truth!
Something must have happened to him!
Where... Where exactly is he?
This...
- Don't break it! - Tell me!
No... That television isn't worth much.
I'll break it if you don't tell me!
I'll tell you! I'll tell you!
I... I can
contact him.
You... Put that rock down first.
That rock is worth more than the television.
Put it down.
Be careful.
Why did our application fail?
I don't understand.
We already had a huge lead.
That's enough. Stop muttering. It's annoying.
President.
Have a seat, everyone.
I have gathered everyone here today
for an important announcement.
A matter that is of great importance
to Huayan.
The Party has decided
that as of today,
September 24, 1993,
Huayan's self-owned brand project
is officially launched!
(Conpo Computer)
(Quality Carries Dreams)
Alright. Alright.
I'll have a few words.
I'm sure all of you watched
the Olympic bid last night.
I feel just as upset
as you are.
But no matter what,
we have taken the first step.
We have proven that we dare
to compete with the other advanced cities in the world.
Just like what we are doing now.
We are launching
our own brand of computers.
Although the current domestic computer market
is being monopolized by foreign brands,
what we can do right now
is to give it our all
and compete
against them!
No matter how hard and challenging
it may be,
taking the first step means that it is
the beginning of our success!
Great!
All right. I have a few words as well.
Director Tan put it very well.
Regarding this matter...
I have agreed as well.
We may have gone through some troubles,
but the final result
is a good one.
Ms. Luo from the Electrical and Mechanical Department
has high expectations for us as well.
So we must work hard
on this project.
We must carry it well and proudly.
And now,
we'll need everyone to work together to make it happen!
Great!
We're finally launching our own computers!
This is great!
