History of the Salaryman - Episode 9
Let go! Let go! You!
Shut up!
Look at her mouth. That's how you swear. It sounds beautiful.
What the hell are you doing?
Yoo Bang!
What the hell is that?
Let go of her right now!
Everyone is deeply interested in this
project. Who do you think will be the next VP?
The position itself is not important. It's about
respecting each other and the process itself.
It's all for the sake of this
corporation. Not just a competition.
Whoever wins the competition,
he deserves a round of applause.
I heard that you were recruited
together. You two seem really close.
We depend on each other a lot.
He has a big heart.
Director, your team seemed very small in size.
It's an elite team.
The employee of the month, Yoo Bang is on our team.
He must be doing a great job saving the Incheon Factory.
Who would know that I'd see you here?
Anyways! It was good to see you again!
How have you been sir? Everything alright?
Well I'm seeing you here, instead of prison.
You! You're making a mistake. I'm Chun Ha's...
You said that you're the granddaughter of Jin
Shi Hwang. Did you learn to swear from him?
Do you think you can get away with this?
Escort them to Seoul.
Don't doze off and send them to
Poseidon like you did last time.
- Yes sir. - Bye!
How do you know that baldy?
It's because of a guy who just died after getting acupuncture.
What business did you have with him?
You don't need to know! Did you
forget that we are enemies right now?
Geez! Do you know why I'm going through all this trouble?
Did I ask you to come? You asked down first!
You think I'm out here for a picnic? I'm here to work!
Hey! I'm working too!
Why would he step up when he can't do anything?
No one can match up with Director Choi
Hang Woo in terms of being competent.
He must be working really hard right now
on the deal from Chun Ha Trade to work.
Director?
- What are we doing here? - I'm sorry.
I'm not really interested in this.
I don't want to get involved either.
Please restrain yourselves at work.
Director! Director!
Director!
I will take a picture of you together to wrap this up.
Ok then.
You little snake. What? You're not interested in VP position?
You're a hyena. Don't forget to resign when you lose.
Smile!
Did you see Cha Woo Hee? That PT
document. I think she wrote it.
Is there something wrong?
No.
Can we beat Hang Woo's team?
- Don't even think about losing. - I don't feel good about this.
I don't want to lay off half of the faculty.
If you don't fire them, they will fire us!
Hold yourself together.
Geez... They really can't be helped.
The factory is about to close down!
Attention everyone!
Ok! I'm here with an important matter.
Who told you to stop working?
Everyone! I will tell you something
about counsel resignations.
You have to listen carefully and make the
wise decision so that you don't suffer loss!
Increase the speed of conveyor belt.
Yes sir.
Let me explain this agreement form. What this means to you!
That's why I explained all this to you. Ok?
No one heard it!
What? I talked with blood in my mouth! Why didn't they hear it?
I think this noise is the problem. What should we do?
Come with me.
Can you turn off the conveyor machine?
We have a deadline to keep up with.
Just 10 minutes, no 5 minutes. Please.
It's my philosophy to never stop the
factory from running no matter what happens.
Would you like that belt to stop forever?
If we can't deal with deficit
here, the HQ will shut you down!
If you're going to keep this up,
I will just have to kick you out.
Tulga! Speed up the conveyor belt and turn on loud music.
Yes sir. (Mongolian)
Agreement form
Are Mongolians good at riding horses?
Eat. Don't f-ing talk to me.
Attention. Please read the agreement
forms that we just handed out.
The factory is going through a crisis here.
The HQ has decided on downsizing to
save whatever the factory has left.
If you agree to counsel resign,
you will receive severance pay and get paid for 3 months.
The HQ is doing so much favor
for you. Is this all you can do?
Favor? You call this a favor?
You can get kicked out without a single penny.
You think you won't get fired forever?
If I can't deal with the downsizing here,
that's it for me too. I'm dying here!
So I'll have to save this factory first.
Who says that the factory will be good if you fire people?
We have to lower the labor cost!
We have to down size every...
If you still get deficit, will you fire another half?
Do you have a way other than firing people?
Tell me if you do.
Is there a way other than downsizing!
That's entrepreneurs' responsibility
with their high salaries.
It's not just laying people off!
This isn't going to be easy. What should we do?
I'm Choi Hang Woo.
Chun Ha Group. Why does such a big shot want to see me?
Why don't we go out and grab a drink together?
Drink when we just met?
Hey! is the Suh Yeo Restaurant open?
Let me find out.
Was it two days ago...
Chun Ha's granddaughter came the other day.
Was her name Baek Chi?
Was it Baek Yeo Chi?
Yeah! Baek Yeo Chi.
She's not Jin Shi Hwang's granddaughter is she?
She is.
She is? That potty mouth?
My god...
Miss.
What is this? You brought her here?
Don't worry about her.
I looked for you forever!
Why would you eat here? It smells like fish.
Sashimi is suppose to smell like fish!
You shut up!
You know that you've made a big mistake to me yesterday?
Miss.
It looks like you're all on the same side here.
What is your true intention that you wanted to see me?
Chun Ha has a big project going on right now...
Let me warn you...
If you're here to get the bidding price of the Chinese,
you better not even open your mouth.
I heard that you're quite a drinker.
Why don't we talk over a drink?
Looks like you did your homework about me.
It's the basics of diplomacy.
Hey! Get us 3 beer mugs and soju shots.
Why three?
My mouth isn't even a mouth?
Don't get a mug. Get a bucket bowl. 4 of them.
We're going to die.
Sorry... she doesn't...
Hey! Call an ambulence and have it stand-by.
I think we will be needing it.
You can't miss wagers in drinking battles.
Wager?
How did you know that I love gambling?
The loser has to do anything!
Ignore her.
I heard that the dumbest thing in
the world is boasting about drinking.
I'll take that.
It's the first time I had such an
exciting dinner ever since I lost my hair.
Ok! Ready! Get set! Round 1, fight!
Executive Park is gone!
I have to take a picture before I lose it.
Picture. Picture.
I got him.
Baek Yeo Chi! Stay down!
What?
Stop rampaging around and ruining things?
Hey! It's not me you should
worry about. It's you!
If you're not sure about it, just leave!
Why are you guys fighting?
You can give up now!
Fill it up.
What?
Fill it up!
What you little...
Fill it up, kid!
Yes sir!
So! Would you like "to quit"?
No way! I'm Choi Hang Woo!
Stanford Valedictorian!
Chun Ha's Director, Choi Hang Woo!
You've got a busy mouth.
Are you going to drink? Or are you going to fight?
Drink up!
Is there anything you can't do?
You can work! You can drink! You were even good at school.
I can't lose.
Yeah! You're so dislikable!
You're passing! Passing! Let me take a picture.
Here, before you die.
Don't throw up! Don't throw up!
1, 2, 3!
Sir! Sir!
Hey! Go sit there.
Let me go to the bathroom. Just stay here.
Sir here.
1,2,3 nice!
I liked that shot.
Hey! What are you doing?
You're not going to throw up are you?
Throw up? You think I will lose to a girl?
Oh look at you!
Let me take a picture.
Smile!
1,2,3, smile!
It's ok. It can happen.
What are doing? Get off me!
Who is this? Who are you!
Hello? Goddamn it...
Where did the baldy go?
Move quickly!
Sir! Are you ok?
Yoo Bang, can you come pick me up?
It's really cold right now. My heart hurts.
I can't even breathe.
Where did you drink?
Just go gome!
Don't bother me. I can smell you all the way from here.
Hey! You're the only one I've got! I'm
just going to sleep here on the street.
You don't need to tell me that. You should tell the street.
Cha Woo Hee is also here.
Woo Hee is?
She's doing worse than me.
She's lying down on the ground.
What? Why did you make her drink so much!
Where are you right now?
Where's Woo Hee?
It's cold! Get in first!
Where's Woo Hee?
Woo Hee isn't here. What?
Are you kidding me?
You die if you fall asleep with heater on.
Do you like Cha Woo Hee?
Should I take you home?
What's so pretty about Cha Woo Hee?
How much did you have to drink? You're wasted!
She just has big ol' eyes. She's not even that pretty.
It's cheating to have such big ol' eyes.
If Woo Hee was cheating, you
would have been kicked out already.
What?
Woo Hee doesn't just have pretty
eyes. She's got everything.
What about me?
You?
How can I say that to your face?
You want me to say it?
What?
You fell asleep?
You don't fall short when it comes to beauty.
But only when you're sleeping.
I just wish that you'd sleep with
your mouth shut like this all the time.
Director?
Drink this sir. This will sober you up.
Baek Yeo Chi.
I'm going to make her eat cold bucket
noodles and see how much she eats.
Oh yeah, I heard from the lab earlier...
Cha Woo Hee and the Chief Bang have a pretty bad relationship.
A bad relationship?
Cha reported Bang for sexual harassment once.
What?
That bastard!
Cha Woo Hee... You're really...
I'm not really interested in this.
I don't want to get involved either.
But please restrain yourselves at work.
Asshole.
How can he...?
Who is it this late at night?
Bang! You should have called.
- Cha Woo Hee. - Director? How?
How did I know this place? Did you
forget that I brought you here last time?
Yes. Why come this late?
Come to Strategic Marketing starting tomorrow.
What?
Don't go to the lab. Come to HQ.
What are you talking about?
Don't grab me. I almost went crazy because of you.
Most girls don't let go that easily.
She really didn't touch me.
Damn!
Why would that butthole be so nice?
He treated me like an insect.
Does he like me? No way.
If he's not interested, why would he come here drunk?
- What are you doing? - Bang!
You should have called if you wanted to come see me!
It's not that...
Hang Woo?
Director Choi told you to work here?
Yes. But where is he?
You want to be in for this project?
Of course!
It was me who beat that baldy.
You know we almost screwed up because of you.
Come on. You haven't forgotten how you
tried your best to win already have you?
Did I? I don't remember it.
If you can't remember it, perhaps this might remind you.
Keep your words before I post
them up on the corporate website.
Ok?
Yeo Chi, win!
Umm... about yesterday...
Come out.
Me?
Did I get ahead of myself? He's always confusing me!
Don't bring that to work.
What?
Is this a place for you to date?
I'm about to fire you!
What did I do?
How come it always comes to this?
No matter what you do, you won't
be able to bring that factory back.
You watch!
I will stomp on that factory hard.
We didn't even get started.
You never know how it will turn out.
Did you just drop the honorifics?
We are friends!
We go way back to the clinical test!
You can't even drop it with a friend?
You little!
What is this? You want to hit me?
Good! Good! If you want to be a thug.
Hit me!
We're going to have a rumor about the
Director beating his helpless staff.
Hit me! Hit me fool!
Fool?
You called me a fool?
When did I say fool, fool?
Do you have a proof, fool?
You little!
What did you just do?
What are you doing?
You've got something here. Is it a stain?
You want to downsize?
No way...
Right...
You're right about everything.
I should have joined your team in the first place.
But I didn't realize it back then.
You're now even kissing ass.
I mean it! I swear!
Society calls imcompetent fools like you, cancer cells.
Do you understand?
That asshole!
He's even become a director. Why take it out on me?
How do you know if I'm
incompetent? You little piece of...
What are you doing in the bathroom?
Hold yourself together!
I will show you what I'm capable of this time.
Whatever.
We're in trouble, sir.
What are you doing?
The production rate was slow, so I sped
it up. Is there something wrong with that?
- Shut it down. - Yes sir.
Hello? I thought you couldn't stop the belt no matter what.
- Call everyone here. - Yes sir.
That's going to be useless!
Do you know what this is?
It's the HQ's order to appoint me in charge while I'm here.
Whether to sign the agreement is up to them,
but I run this place. Do you understand?
You think they will leave just because you do this?
Geez... If they don't leave, the factory shuts down!
You want them to get kicked out without getting a penny?
It was administrators like you who
have made the factory like this!
Why isn't factory running well?
You want to get rid of all the important
people and form the assembly line without them?
That's all in the past! It's the future that matters!
Are you going to accept the agreement or not?
Over my dead body!
You can't fire my staff!
He's going to hang on with his life depending on it.
Raise the conveyor belt's speed.
Then all of the goods will be ruined.
That's their problem!
We have ourselves to worry about.
Speed it up!
Look at the atmosphere here. I'm worried
that something is going to happen.
What's wrong with the car?
What? What is this? This is a new car!
Who did this? Damn it!
Even tire?
I just changed my tires recently.
Oh my god...
I could be considered as a part time employee too.
I should be there protesting together.
What am I doing?
Hey! Did you have to get us in the same room?
I can't even eat because it's so embarrassing.
I'm sorry. There was only one room.
Oh by the way, who won the battle?
Where did all the abalone go in abalone chowder?
You couldn't have lost to a girl.
They should have put in clams at least!
I'm going to die eating this.
Hey guys!
You remember the loser doing anything for the winner right?
We need to talk.
Business isn't a game.
Sending a brat like you to do business.
Chun Ha has a dim future.
You little baldy...
An agreement is an agreement.
Give me the Chinese bidding price right now!
Hey! What are you doing? Kick her out!
You don't have to tell us the bidding price.
You just need to introduce us to the Chinese investors.
Just to introduce?
Yes... That was exactly what we wanted.
It got a bit complicated.
We will give you the commission.
Now you're talking business!
But the Chinese people I know are
pretty slimy when it comes to business.
Are you sure you can handle them?
Of course.
They are complaining that you have called
them to show this petty trade system.
I'm very sorry to hear that you're not impressed.
But once you hear our business plan,
Whatever! We will be bidding anyways!
Let's go through the formal procedures.
I want you to bid instead of us.
(Translation)
Hand them out.
What is this?
As you can see, we're going to
transfer our ateriole restriction drug.
(Translation)
The worldwide market for
arteriole drug is $23.4 billion.
Not only that,
It has 80% growth rate every year
because of colon cancer and such.
If we can occupy 20% of the market,
calculate the profits you will be making every year.
Thank you.
What are the conditions for transferring the technology?
The condition is to make a contract with us.
You're going to transfer technology to only one company?
That would depend on the contract.
Whether it will be one company or more,
it will depend on you.
I will give you three days.
Come with your contract ready by 6 o'clock.
This is how you do business.
It's not a place for a kid like you to mess around.
You're getting way to ahead of yourself.
They didn't sign the contract yet.
You want to bet?
The loser does anything for the winner.
What?
I thought you liked bets?
What? Are you afraid now?
You think I'm afraid? Call!
If I may add to this expensive lecture,
business...
I think I heard enough.
B - U - S - I - N - E double S!
Director! The meeting just ended.
If the bidding is successful, this game is over.
We have to get downsizing done before that.
The factory superintendent is the problem.
He won't listen!
Then fire him first!
It will be like a beehive then!
Is he that big of a deal?
He was a medical supply expert.
He even won the Olympics when he was young.
Happy New Years!
Not just the Korean staff,
but he is even admired by the foreign labor workers.
Keep up the good work.
But there is something strange.
He doesn't go home after work.
He goes in the secret warehouse.
Secret warehouse? What's he doing in there?
We don't know that. But they keep the door tight.
That's suspicious.
First find out what they do in the warehouse.
If it's anything strange, we can fire him using that.
Father commited suicide in 1987.
I just received it.
Find out why Choi Ja Ryong has commited suicide.
You wanted to eat dinner. But you're really just eating.
Hello? Cha?
If your senior is talking to you...
After this project,
I will go back to the lab.
What's wrong with this place?
I don't think it suits me.
That's for me to decide.
Why did you call me out to HQ?
You must have had a reason.
Do we need a reason?
So you can work!
Bang.
Bang!
I'm eating right now.
No, it's ok.
Where are you?
You're close to us.
I will be right there!
Sorry, I have to go.
What kind of manner is this?
Enjoy your meal.
I brought the course set and wine.
Eat it with your staff.
I thought you were eating. Why are you eating so fast?
I almost got indigestion.
Comfortable people are the best!
Who did you eat with?
There's someone. Give me a shot of soju.
Eat blood sasauge too!
Get me one.
Geez.
Yeah, the chopsticks may be heavy with your thin arms.
Eat this, this looks good.
What's wrong?
Nah... I guess I'm seeing things.
Forget it! Eat this!
How is it?
What happened?
Someone broke in last night.
Was it the HQ people?
It must be!
We can't let them go like this.
Don't do anything rash!
We lost the blueprint.
Are you going to give up like this?
Do we have to see them at a place
like this to sign the contract?
They don't feel comfortable with employees watching.
We have to understand him.
Where? I don't see anyone.
Oh, here they come.
You're all here.
You've made up a big decision!
What is this? What are you doing?
Give us the blueprint!
Blueprint?
What are they talking about?
You wrecked the workshop and took the blueprint last night!
Don't frame me! What are you talking about?
We slept well at home last night.
Look at his face. It's all
bright because he slept so well.
Do you know what that meant for us?
Fine! Why don't you tell me?
What blueprint are you talking about?
What's the big deal?
I want to know too. Tell me!
Give back our blueprint!
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
Are you gangsters? What are you doing?
We have to get back the blueprint!
I understand your positions.
But we need that blueprint back!
This is the overseas schedule.
Was the technology transfer bidding today?
Yes. It closes at 6.
If the trade contract is done, we
have no need for this competition.
If Director Choi's team wins,
who do you have in mind for VP?
Choi Hang Woo is the leader isn't he?
It's too early to trust him.
If it's just about trust, Bum Jeong is better than him.
You're not even considering Yeo Chi?
She still has a far way to go.
I worked for you for more than 10 years already.
You think I don't know that you want
her to be the heir, deep in your heart?
What's going on? How come no one is calling?
Looks like business went sour.
You remember the bet right?
Once the bidding fails, you better just get on your knees.
I won't let you go.
What will you do then?
You! Fired!
You too!
You need to check this out.
It's not like you will get it if you turn it in fast.
Don't cut!
I think the news traveled fast. More people came from China.
They wanted to eat some chicken
first. They are late because of that.
Get in line!
What you were trying to make was...
If it was finished it could have
been a revolutionary medical device.
Then we wouldn't even have to go through with the downsizing.
That was my dream.
Bring the factory back up.
Getting everyone back who's worked here before.
It's not too late to announce it.
I haven't corrected all the errors.
Without fixing that, it's just leaking the technology.
You can't do it without the blueprint?
Because we never know how long it will take.
It will be hard. But keep working.
We will find a way to help.
If you didn't have dinner yet, let's eat together.
It's ok sir.
Mo here is quite amazing at decanting isn't she?
At a professional level.
She is a professional.
You have a sommelier's license right?
Yes sir.
Including martial arts she has 25 licenses.
In other words, she can do anything.
This is the trade contract with the Chinese.
Good job.
I would like to have a party with the Chinese.
Can we use this place?
Palace of Abang?
Do as you please.
Thank you.
Jang Ryang lost without even a fair fight.
I will close down Incheon factory.
Weren't we rushing it?
We will just have to make them in the factory in Vietnam.
We will definitely have difference
in costs. It will bring profits.
You're so precise with work.
The VP's position.
I think Park Bum Jeong deserves it.
You don't want it?
I'd rather get more faith from you at the front line.
You have too big of a heart for a young man.
Good to hear that from a true see'er of talent.
Here.
How was working with Yeo Chi?
She is useless!
Precisely put! Useless!
But I know her better than anyone else.
She has potential.
I'm not saying this because she's my granddaughter.
Because I recognize true talent.
You will probably find it in her too.
What do you expect from me?
What?
I'm sorry.
I'm not interested in Baek Yeo Chi one bit.
Are you a mind reader now?
You read my mind!
Here!
Good.
You seem to know exactly how to win his heart.
I also know that you've been behind Yeo Chi.
What were you trying to gain with her as your puppet?
VP?
Or...
Something much bigger?
Choi Ja Ryong.
Your father that passed away 26 years ago.
It's not just you who looked into my profile.
You must have deep hatred for the Chairman.
Why did you choose Chun Ha?
Go tell him.
That I'm Choi Ja Ryong's son.
Nothing will change.
Are you sure about that?
You should know better than anyone,
after serving him for so long.
You want to shut down Incheon factory?
Yes.
I already got permission from the chairman.
If it gets on the media and brings a bad
reputation, it may even affect this project.
Call Pyung for help.
It's probably better than getting
help from the government officials.
Jang Ryang will take a hard blow.
This is pretty too.
Let me try something else on.
It's not bad. Just go with that.
You like anything that shows breasts don't you?
I won't be interested even if you were naked.
I don't have much time. Let's just go.
Come on.
If you're that busy, you should get going first.
You want the party hosts to have the guests wait?
Wear anything!
Just come out! It won't make a difference!
Anything?
You!
I will kill you if you fall for me later!
Come! Secretary Mo!
You really are beautiful.
Thank you.
Hey! Get on!
Quickly.
Let's go sir.
You really are great.
It's nothing.
The warehouse seemed a bit small.
You don't need to worry about it. We already got one.
Director Choi, aren't you going to dance?
They are all waiting for you.
Dance?
You know!
Right?
Yeah! The host should dance first.
Who should dance with him?
What?
You want to dance with me?
Don't you see the guests waiting for you?
This is quite embarrassing. Just take my hand.
Shall we dance too?
You didn't forget the bet have you?
You said that you will do anything.
So? What do you want?
Just wait.
I'm thinking about it.
The warehouse site... Does it
have to be where the factory is?
I'm sure you can find other places.
Oh that!
It's already over.
What are you talking about?
Go!
What's going on?
As of this minute, this factory is completely shutting down.
What is he talking about?
From now on...
We will be taking over the factory.
I would like to ask you to leave on your own.
We're busy. We can only give you 10 seconds.
Hey count to 10.
Yes sir.
1.
- Hey! - 2.
What are you doing?
What? It's you again?
What do you mean shutting down?
- 3. - What kind of bullshit is this?
You're going to get if you get involved.
4. Just move aside.
5.
You guys...
You sent you here?
6.
Hang Woo?
7.
You dirty bastards!
I can't move!
8.
You do what you want!
9.
10.
You should quit if you lost.
Director!
We will deal with Incheon protests.
I put my life on the line here.
The new product is all we've got!
Let's do this!
You take me for a fool?
Hang Woo has noticed.
Get all the protesters out!
Why don't we go talk to him? Can't we listen to them?
I will buy as much time as possible. Let's get it done!
Who let all these people in?
I'm sorry.
Get out!
Pay for all these people with this card.
And get them a plate of pizza on their way out.
Also send 100 pizzas to the senior
center and orphanage next door.
Thank you!
You're really doing something great.
I'm not a nice person.
Don't you remember me?
I thought I said that I will
make this into a public bathroom.
It's me.
