Episode 11
[Chinese millionaire Zhang Shikei arrives]
What happened to Chairman Zhang?
He's completed his schedule and is is currently in Dangjin Country Club.
The man is a golf fanatic.
Are we set?
Yes, Sir.
A verbal agreement has already been reached.
All we need now is his signature.
Stay sharp and focused.
I do not want anyone botching this up.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Then get out of here.
Aren't you going to work? Time is money!
I never thought I'd do this again after I got out of service.
You really think this'll bring business?
I think so. People will at least give us a second look.
- Who are those guys? - What are they selling?
Done!
Hey, doesn't this guy own Shanghai Transportation?
- That taxi company... - Oh, that Chinese guy? A betting fanatic.
Taxi.. That's right, it is that President Jang Shi Kei...
Darn, my hand stinks like feet!
- Chang Shik. - Yes?
- Shine mine, too. - Put some foot power.
- Stop grumbling. - Shine these for me, too.
You shine them! What am I, your slave?
Please.
What?
Oh, give it here.
Why am I doing this?
Dir. Gang!
I was a Chinese major in college. Give me a chance this time.
Nihao ma. Xie xie.*
Translators notes: How are you? Thank you.
We're talking about half of Shanghai Transportation's entire fleet of taxes.
I need each of you to be your best until the deal is completely sealed.
May I go now?
Ms. Kim, don't forget that we're on the same boat.
I don't think you need to worry. She's a professional.
13... 43
Jiminy Christmas!
Let's do it!
Do what? I'm done shining shoes!
About Shanghai Transportation. He's here to buy taxis.
So?
Our Sami 3s make the best taxis.
- That's true. - So let's do this deal.
Kid, the last few sales have completely gone to your head!
What do you mean?
Those kind of things are done on the corporate level.
Yeah, but he needs cars and we sell cars.
We just make contact and... do the deal.
Kid, that's... you're... You're out of your mind.
But just imagine.
If by some miracle we were able to persuade the man...
- We'd... hit the jackpot. - Jackpot...
Forget it, forget it. Stop daydreaming and pick some numbers.
I had a dream and anything with number three is good.
Do it! Number three.
- Nice shot! - Nice shot!
But he's got a funky swing.
You are really... (spoken in Chinese)
I... (spoken in Chinese)
Thank you.
He can speak Korean.
He did business in Korea when he was young.
Didn't you do any research?
A woman representing your team?
Yes, Mr. Zhang. How about we play for dinner?
Deal. (in Chinese)
Sorry. This is a $50 a pop. You shouldn't break the law.
One, two, three...
That takes care of the meals for the day...
Da... Da Hye!
I always thought I was a good cook.
But why didn't it turn out right when I cook porridge?
How much salt are you supposed to put in?
Hello? Butterball?
Baby octopus? Sounds great! Okay. I'll be right there.
- Son Gil? - Yeah, I'm going on a date!
- What a friend you are! - You lose if you get jealous!
[Da Hye, are you feeling better?]
What are you doing here?
Da Hye.
Where are you staying?
- At a friend's house. - And money?
Well, you know...
Do you still work at that insurance company?
Yes
You must have quite a few bucks saved up.
Sorry?
It's a solid company, so I heard employees easily qualify for loans.
You could probably get a loan in a snap. Right, Da Hye?
Unbelievable! You show up after all these years and this is what you say to me?
What do you mean? I was just...
What?
What do you want this time?
Another new camera?
Why?
Being an artist not paying off for you?
- It's not like that. - Then what?
I... uh...
Leave. Leave!
Da Hye, I've changed. I really have.
I said leave. I never had a father and I still don't.
Da Hye!
I am not going to take out a loan for you. I put every penny I have on key money for
this place, and it's hard enough for me to make a living as it is, so please leave!
You mean you leased this place? Really? This is an expensive neighborhood.
Leave!
Da Hye! Da Hye!
Leave! I will never call you again, so leave!
I told you to dress warm.
It's my father. Now you know.
Don't you know you have to keep your neck warm when you have a cold?
It's no wonder you're coughing all the time.
I was just passing through the neighborhood.
I wish you hadn't seen that.
You must think I'm a bad daughter.
Actually, I think you still care about your father.
He and I would go to parks and places all the time when I was little and take pictures.
He wasn't always like the way he is now.
He became a difficult person to live with after my mother left us.
Anyway, I better get in. I'm fine.
Da Hye.
Here.
I brought it on the way.
Thirty minutes after each meal. Don't take them on an empty stomach.
Thank you.
Oh, when should we go for that drive?
Remember? I said I'd take you out for a drive.
A drive?
Yes.
How about the day after tomorrow?
So I can check if you've gotten better...
Okay, I'd like that.
Then I'll meet you at the playground at eight day after tomorrow.
Oh, it's cold...
I'll meet you at the playground at 8:00 o'clock day after tomorrow.
Shanghai is a commercial city that flourished at an astonishing speed and is the face of China.
By contrast, the city's main means of transportation, taxis, has fallen far behind.
We believe this lagging condition could mar China's overall image.
Our luxury class sedan Icarus...
Let's talk about business later and have a drink.
Okay! (in Chinese)
Yes, it's me. How did it go?
Something will turn up. Look deeper.
Yes, two days later. I'll call again later.
To our continuing mutual success! Cheers!
Cheers!
No... No... No! (In Chinese)
No alcohol, alcohol.
You were very impressive, Ms. Kim.
I would have embarrassed myself had I taken you lightly.
You didn't let me win on purpose, did you?
I would never.
You missed an easy putt on the last hole, so I wondered.
We prepared a little gift to thank you for the contract.
Oh!
Giving a luck pouch signifies acceptance of friendship in China.
You did your homework.
Mr. Zhang, let us first get business out of the way and drink freely.
We can do that later. Let us drink first.
What are those?
A "bomb" shot, dynamite, also known as Korean business cocktail...
Here.
This is for you.
The continent vs. the peninsula. Let's see which team is stronger.
Are you a strong drinker?
Yes. (in Chinese)
Cheer!
Cheers!
Something is up.
I don't think he's changed his mind, but there's nothing else he wants.
It won't help to drag this on. Let's find together what he wants.
We have to get this contract whatever it takes.
Yes.
- You got everything? - Yes.
- Sir. - Yeah.
- We're off. - Yeah.
The branch is saved, so think of this as a vacation.
- Bye, sir. - Yeah.
We're going to be late.
- Mijeong, we're leaving. - Bye.
Bye.
Senior is getting off for work and yet..
Go. Go, go.
- Ha Ryu. - Hi.
You've met before. This is Son Gil. He's coming with us.
Hello.
- How do you do, sir? - Hi. It's good to see you again.
Why did you ask me to come anyway?
Wait. Where do you get your hair permed? It's geometric. I love it.
- It's not bad, is it? - It's very nice, sir.
- Yours is nice too. - Thank you.
Why is coming with us?
- Oh, he studied Chinese. - Just a few years in high school...
I think I'm older, so I'll just drop the honorifics.
Sure.
- What? - Huh?
- What? - Oh.
Let's go! We have cars to sell.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Do you really know how to speak Chinese?
Yes.
What's "Good morning"?
Nihao.*
Translator note: How are you? in Chinese
'Good afternoon'?
Ni hao!
Translator note: How are you? in Chinese
'Good evening'?
Ni hao!
Translator note: How are you? in Chinese
'Good night'?
Translator note: How are you? in Chinese
Geez... 'Ni hao!'
You only know 'Ni hao'!
But it is "Nihao".
What time does he tee off?
I'm sorry.
We're sales agents from Seoul. We have to entertain him.
- Is that the truth? - Yes, we're car sales associates!
What's the big deal? Why won't they confirm us?
It is a big deal. They don't let just anyone in.
- We can't get in at all? - No.
There's got to be another way.
Let's just relax for a couple of days and go home.
We haven't had any food yet. Let's go get something to eat.
Will they let us into the restaurant at least?
Let's try. Let's try.
Go in.
Hey! How are you?
What are you guys doing here?
- Yes, thank you. - Thank you.
Let's eat.
These are all vegetables.
- Should I order something else? - No, no.
Let's just eat. Ms. Kim went out of her way to get us in here.
Enjoy.
It's all vegetables.
If you pack the rice like this, it's not very much. I need another bowl.
You're incorrigible. This is a corporate deal.
And we're just wrapping it up.
It doesn't matter. We still want to give it a try.
And this has been in the works for a long time.
But we're already here. We can't just go back.
- Let's just eat first. - Thank you.
Thank you.
By chance is Kang Seung Joo the reason why you're here?
Kang Seung Joo? Nope. I'm just here to sell cars.
Really? Good luck.
I can't believe you were complaining about food in there.
How about you? You ate the whole table.
So what if it's vegetables? It was delicious.
Hey! What are you doing here?
- That pervert with the wig! - What? You twerp!
Mr. Yang, how are you? We met last time at...
- Go. - Pardon?
Stop eating, you porky pig...
Son Gil.
Kang Seung Joo!
Get back! Get back!
I'll give you a piece of important information!
Hold on. What's the important information?
Talk! Come on!
Hold on. What's the important information?
Talk! Come on.
No, no. Mr. Yang said he was here.
Stop calling him mister.
Is it them? I guess not. Where is he?
I'm hungry. We passed a seafood place back there.
You just ate!
Call out for him.
What's his name?
Zhang Shikei.
Mr. Zhang Shikei!
Call him in Chinese, you idiot!
Zhang Shikei, I love you! (in Chinese)
Doesn't that mean I love you?
- Yes, since I want him. - Oh, that makes sense.
I don't think he's here.
No, Mr. Yang Man Cheol said this is where we'd find him.
The air is certainly clear here. Isn't it?
- Then let's look around some more. - Some more?
Sure, all right.
Sporty design, environmentally friendly...
Cheers!
Cheers.
Cheers!
And those LED laps, LED lamps. You know what they are, right?
Here.
Let's have another drink.
Yes, thank you. (in Chinese)
Am I right?
No one's going to back me up? Am I right?
Chairman Zhang, I used to be the four top car salesman in the country.
But now, I am around the 16th one.
I'm about the 16th right now, I think. I got pushed back. You know?
Kim Jae Hee.
To Daesan taxies!
I apologize about this.
Please excuse me for a moment.
Okay. (in Chinese)
How did it go?
What? Dig deeper. Everyone has a skeleton in their closet.
Fine. I'll pay you double if we succeed.
Talk. What are you up to?
It's not your business. Just focus on getting that contract signed.
I'm just taking out an insurance policy.
Why don't you take yourself out of this game instead of getting overzealous
and botching things up like you did last time, Mr. Gang?
Just get back and deal with Yang Man Cheol.
I was really trying hard...
Yang Man Cheol...
You should've never made me run like that in the first place!
Oh, I didn't try to stop you? You're the one who kept saying let's look a little more!
"Mister" Yang Man Cheol? What is he? Your mentor?
You kept chasing after him like you're his biggest fan!
You little twerp! How old are you?
Me? I was born in 80!
80? You wish. Let me see your ID.
You don't believe me? What are you going to do if I'm telling the truth?
This is not working.
This is not working for me either. This guy and I are just not...
I'm going to sleep right here.
Yes, just go to sleep. You're no help anyway...
I'm really not doing anything for the rest of this trip. Nothing...
And I'm going to go all the way.
If we can do this, we'll hit the mother load.
Chinese, especially Zhang Shikei, love betting and gambling.
- If we can use that somehow... - How do you know that he likes betting?
Read the newspaper, the newspaper!
Gambling, gambling.. if it were eating, Since varsity moments till now, I've yet to lose at it.
Oh, brother...
I once ate 12 servings of ramen in one sitting.
Forget it then. Just forget it.
But first we have to find him if we're going to challenge him to any kind of bet.
Fine. Let's give him a proper greeting first.
Huh?
A proper greeting?
- Hey! - Don't do that! - It's the other way around! - What is this?
Ah my---
*
Look at the name before you write it.
Can you write it any nice?
*
Ryu, this is no use if our guy goes out, so wait in the lobby.
Okay. Finish up here, then.
President Jang Shi Kei.
[Welcome, Mr. Jang Shi Kei, Taepoong Motors!]
President Jang Shi Kei.
What are they doing? (in Chinese)
They are the ones who came yesterday from Taepoong. (in Chinese)
Taepoong? (in Chinese)
Very good! (in Chinese)
Those Chinese guys with Mr. Zhang Shikei...
Ah! When did they arrive? I've made appointment to meet them but I cannot contact them.
Here. I'm with Taepoong Motors.
Like I said, I don't know.
Come on. Please?
I'm looking into adjusting the terms given the size of the deal.
How do you feel about that?
I see.
But aren't you going to give me a chance to even score since I lost yesterday?
Of course, sir. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hello, President!
I'm from Taepoong Motors.
Don't mind him. He used to work for me.
You're working hard.
Ryu.
Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang!
- Mr. Zhang! - I've had enough of you!
Why are you doing this, Ryu?
I only need a moment, sir!
Okay. Let's go.
He's meeting Zhang Shikei?
Yes,
he still doesn't know how this business works.
I like his challenging spirit. It's endearing.
What can a gentle and naive boy like him accomplish with passion alone?
This is not an amateur contest.
He'll only be used.
What Zhang Shikei wants is a price reduction.
You're right about everything.
But who knows?
Pardon?
Miracles do happen sometimes.
Once in a while things get turned around to everyone's surprise.
Do they?
Mr. Zhang Shikei!
- It's so cold. Are you sure he's coming out this way? - Stand up straight!
Hey, you!
I feel sorry for you, fools.
That wig wearing pervert!
You pervert!
I told you he was a pervert.
- Let's stop this, guys. Okay? - Okay, let's stop.
Let's stop this.
Why did you start running? I'm so tired.
Is there something you're not happy about in our terms?
No, I'm quite content.
I just don't want to rush, that's all.
I can't wait to see our cars lined up in Shanghai Airport.
What should we bet on today?
How about a hole-in-one?
You're quite a woman. Very well.
Let's do it.
He still has not signed.
He's up to something.
Yes, sir. But Dir. Gang has not been able to find what that is.
We'll see.
And if he can't cut the mustard, that'll be the end of him.
I want to see for myself.
You, sir?
I'm anxious to see what he'll do.
Let's leave tomorrow morning.
Yes, sir.
He'll survive if he has what it takes.
He'll survive.
Something's not right.
He's testing us.
Our terms are much better than the terms of his last purchase.
What could it be? What does Zhang want?
Price reduction, no doubt.
It looks like our low first offer has worked to our disadvantage.
He thinks there's more room to negotiate.
- Then we'll adjust the price. - No, no.
Let's wait a little.
This is a battle of wills.
If we make a lower offer first, negotiation could become even harder.
Mr. Song, this whole deal could go down the drain!
You have to stop being anxious.
The moment you show that we lose.
Do you remember last year?
Jeju Island? The Hilman?
Yes, this is a similar situation.
I won that time, remember?
What do you mean? I'm the one who found Chairman Yu's Pony.
Yeah, that's right.
It's funny.
You should be the one working for Chairman Yu right now, but here I am.
You're a talented woman.
Do you want some help?
What's so hard about it? Give me that.
- Why did you hit so hard? - This is my first time.
Can't you see how close the hole is?
Stop chasing me!
Hey, why are you riding that?
I'll give you more, I'll give you more!
There're so many fat pigs on this golf course...
Mr. Man Cheol!
Just give it to us!
We would've had him if he hadn't gotten on that golf cart!
Why are you running around in the golf course? And what's with Yang Man Cheol?
How about you? What were you doing?
- You think I've been playing hooky? - Haven't you?
I saw you practicing golf over here with a woman at that.
A woman? You mean on the 13th hole... Yes, I thought they looked familiar.
I'm just trying to meet Mr. Zhang.
I got his schedule, so we'll wait for our chance when he's on the field.
How? Are you going to make a golf bet and ask him to buy our cars if you win?
You think you can play golf after one hour of practice?
It's too bad none of us play golf.
We can't win this the conventional way, going in so late in the game.
So let's do this our style.
We have a style?
Wow, you're looking nice!
Are you going on a date?
No.
Then why are you all dolled up?
What? Can't I get dolled up once in a while?
Something's fishy.
You're going out to meet a guy, aren't you?
Yeah, I'm going to see my first love.
You're two-timing Ha Ryu? Oh, the poor guy...
I'm just joking. I'm going out to get my hair done.
Hair?
Tell me the truth.
- What truth? - Where are you going? Where?
I am telling you the truth! Okay, okay.
Actually, Ha Ryu is taking me for a drive.
Really? I'm so jealous!
I'm running late. I'll see you later.
I'm so jealous...
Butterball, that jerk...
Ms. Kim!
Oh, Son Gil.
What are you doing out here all alone? Is there something bothering you?
No, I'm just... finishing up my thought about something.
Finishing up your thoughts... Yes, the finish is always important.
- How have you been? - I'm doing well, as always...
But I miss us working together. Those were the good times.
For me, too.
Cheer up.
- Thanks. - Go.
- See you later.
Here, we go.
Try it. My masterpiece!
Wait, Ji Woo, perhaps we should just go out for some grilled pork.
What is this? You said there was good food here.
I don't know. Ha Ryu said we'd get free food if we came here...
What are you waiting for? Pick up your spoons and dig in.
Yes.
What's wrong? Is it bad?
Um, do you really have to cook?
This is shit.
- This is food? You call this food? - You little runt! You better finish the whole bowl or else!
- Ouch! - Oh, I'm getting a headache!
Wow.
Wow, who's this! You look beautiful. girl!
Clothes and make-up can really make a difference.
You go girl!
You're a goddess, Da Hye.
She's finally looking a little like a woman. Isn't she?
You better watch it, kid.
She's gorgeous because she's my friend.
Da Hye, please think this over.
What does Ha Ryu have that I don't?
See you later!
Have fun!
Does she like skinny guys?
- Are you sure he's coming here? - You saw his schedule.
You didn't get that info from that wig-wearing pervert, did you?
Stop talking like that about Mr. Yang Man Cheol.
Mister my foot...
- Hi again. - Yeah, hello.
Let's go. He's here.
How do you do, Mr. Zhang?
- Taepoong Motors! - Yes, yes!
He speaks Korean...
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Ha Ryu of Taepoong motors.
- I'm Kim Chang Shik. - I'm Lee Son Gil, sir!
Sir, we read in the papers that you enjoy betting, so we wondered...
How do you feel about a challenge...
How about a handshake?
Hello. (in Chinese)
- Hello. (in Chinese) - It's nice to meet you.
- Are you ready? - Yes!
Get set, go!
Swallow, just swallow!
Hurry up!
He's done, he's done!
Hurry up, hurry up!
And victory goes to Team Shanghai!
Sir, could we do one more game over five bowls of udon?
I'll punch in a random number on the karaoke machine
and see if you get a song you know.
What do you think?
Kid, that's not fair. He doesn't know any Korean songs.
Just be quiet.
I can't eat five bowls of udons.
You're going to make me eat, aren't you?
I can't eat all that either.
You're such wimps. Fine, I'll eat them.
What do you think, sir?
Are you up for the challenge?
Fine.
You have to eat all five bowls. No substitutes. Okay, sir?
He's really just pressing random numbers!
Ai, really...
[Friend]
This is a very famous Korean song.
He knows. He knows. Do you?
Sir,
do you or do you not know this song?
I do.
A random number. It wasn't, was it?
I did some research... about his favorite songs.
Son of a gun...
Your pronunciation is perfect.
Oh, my friend, my friend!
Yes, sir!
We'll do this again tomorrow!
Yes, of course.
- I'll come up with even more fun challenges. - Good, good.
Did you enjoy your time, sir?
Mr. Gang,
did you say this fellow used to work for you?
Yes,
in the past.
He's a very hardworking man.
I've been watching him carefully.
Taepoong Motors, was it?
Yes, I represent Taepoong Motors, sir.
My request is simple that you drive one of our cars and compare.
- I'm confident you'll be pleased. - This kid, really...
Fine. More choices I have the better!
Thank you, sir. Thank you very much!
Thank you.
We need to talk later.
Oh no, Da Hye!
Don't get in my way.
This is an order as your superior,
Ms. Kim Jae Hee.
If you have something to talk to me about,
call me during work hour... sir.
The number called is busy...
Who is she calling?
The number called is busy...
Ha Ryu? Where are you?
I... I'm sorry,
but I don't think I can make it.
I'm out of town on a business trip.
What are you doing here alone.
Let's go have a drink.
Are you with Jae Hee?
Yes, I mean, no. It's business...
Is this how you are?
Why do you keep leading me on and making me wait for you?
You're the one who wanted to see me tonight. How could you forget?
If you don't like me, just tell me!
No, Da Hye! Da Hye! Da...
Darn it...
Your call has been forwarded to a voice message box...
The party you are calling is not receiving calls at this time...
I have to go.
Da Hye!
What are you doing here?
You're the one, Da Hye.
You're the one I care about.
Give him this one.
I've lowered the price by 3%.
Mr. Gang, why are you so anxious?
We can't take chances here.
We have to make this happen.
Are you insecure about Chairman Yu's trust for you?
We've lost.
You're not focused on this deal at all.
Mr. Song.
Mr. Gang.
Price competition is like a naked swordfight.
The moment you worry about how much a cut would hurt is the moment you lose.
That's exactly what your opponent is waiting for.
You make the decisions from here.
Hello.
I was passing by and it made me wonder how a uniform could look so good on a woman.
And when you add a perfect face to that, it just... just makes me mad.
And so...
Since you're so perfect, I'd like to ask for a very simple favor.
- How old were you when you started playing golf? - I think I was in sixth grade.
- I brought some fortune cookies for you. - No, thank you. You can take it back.
No, no. Let's take a look.
I'll read it for you.
"At eleven o'clock, a nobleman from the south in golden garb robe will bring luck."
Gold colored,
A nobleman in golden garb...
Golden yellow!
A nobleman!
Good morning!
Sir,
if you're done with your brunch,
how do you feel about another challenge?

I will bet my luck on this golf ball disappearing in one putt.
No, no! You're going to kill yourself!
You won, so let's test out that car of yours.
Thank you, sir!
Taepoong has gotten in the game. It's Ha Ryu.
We could lose.
That wouldn't be so bad.
Kang Seung Joo's incompetence will come to light.
Zhang Shikei is quite impressed with Ha Ryu.
Can't I trust you to do anything?
Sign the contract at original terms.
Then I'll give you time to clean it up.
Did you try to blackmail Zhang Shikei?
Yes!
I will stop at nothing to make this deal happen. Nothing!
If you want it badly enough,
and if you try hard enough, I believe miracles do happen.
I want to prove that to you.
