[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 13]
I'll speak to Headquarters to have you transferred to Hangzhou.
Why stay in Beijing?
Does Saul know?
As vice chairman, I can approve your transfer.
For Chairman Saul, a report will suffice.
What will the reason be?
We have a large volume of orders and high success rates.
Come over and focus on one sector.
I'll recommend you back to Headquarters in a year.
Back at Headquarters, you'll be in charge of your own department.
You're so eager to boss me around.
All right, do as you see fit.
You keep skirting the subject of Zheng Qiu Dong working for France Bank.
Is there some sort of hidden plot?
Even if there were, do you think I could tell?
You're being paranoid.
Hello, Mr. Zheng Qiu Dong.
Thank you for coming to New Jin Cheng Consulting's interview.
We'll now begin the first phase in accordance with the client's terms.
Using English or French
discuss your understanding of financial planning services.
Okay.
Today, banks provide financial products
such as deposits, funds, bonds, insurance, and so on.
Along with wage increases, the importance of wealth management
has been appreciated by a rising number of people.
And people more attention to portfolio management.
Banks have been the most reliable
wealth management partners for people for years.
Therefore, banks have launched various management products
to pursue profitable clients.
The increases in variety of financial products
and in demand for wealth accumulation
have established a bright future
for personal and household wealth management services industry.
If your superior is older than you and often criticizes you
for being impolite, selfish, ungrateful, and so on
how should you communicate with him?
Generation gaps are present everywhere.
The peculiarity of superior-subordinate relations
is that a superior is right, even if wrong.
This is decided by rank, not age.
"Time" magazine once published a quote from a middle-aged writer.
"Veteran teachers are saying that"
"never in their experience were young people"
"so thirstily avid of pleasure as now ...so selfish, and so hard."
Take note that this quote wasn't said today
but in a letter published in "The Atlantic" magazine in 1911.
102 years have passed.
Every generation believes the next generation is inferior.
However, social progress has already proved
each generation is indeed superior to the previous.
There's a phrase going around
"Personal perspective turned on its head."
Regardless of what grand personal perspectives you have
why don't you talk about your views on money?
Views on money?
- Money? - Yes, money.
Actually, my views on money are simple.
I believe money offers many benefits without any harm.
It is a product of mankind's intelligence.
Marx's theory of money
opened up a new level of understanding of money.
Corruption brought about by money can be found everywhere.
Why do you say it offers many benefits without any harm?
All instances of corruption were not caused by money
but by the people who chase after it.
Using contemptible means to obtain money
can also bring liberation and freedom, no?
That is people sullying money's reputation
and not a sin of money.
Of course, these are my personal views on money
and may not be applicable to others.
I once...
I once made dirty money.
I did not receive liberation or freedom.
I won't earn that kind of money again.
What kind of dirty money did you make?
That is my personal business.
What sets you apart from other candidates for this position at France Bank?
In college, I studied financial management.
In my MBA studies, I was exposed to
human resources management cases in the the financial sector.
I researched global equity funds with
HSBC Bank financial adviser, Ms. Michelle Liu
and also wrote a 4,000 character analysis report with classmates.
There are a few gaps in your resume. Why are those years blank?
My referrer told me that was acceptable.
This is not some high-level position.
I thought Mr. Lin Bai had already explained it to you.
You two came to the right employment agency.
We're very professional.
You like the government sector?
Okay, we also provide the government sector with employees.
We have administrative positions from townships to provinces.
Your Mandarin sounds good.
Look here. Mandarin and typing.
- How is your typing? - 40 characters a minute.
That will do.
How are the job conditions?
Considerably good.
An annual salary range of 50-to-70,000 yuan in Xiaoshan district.
Look, there's insurance and comprehensive social security.
There's even a housing fund. It's great.
Take a look.
How come Hui still isn't back yet?
He called and said the meeting with the Social Security Bureau has ended
but he's making a stop at the airport.
Airport dispatch placed an order online for seven maintenance controllers.
Really? That's wonderful news.
What do you want to eat, GM Xiong?
Anything's fine.
With Chairman Zheng away all day
don't you feel like something's different?
I'm getting kung pao chicken with rice.
It's just you that's a bit different.
Nonsense. What could be different?
The same. I'm ordering the same as whatever you're getting.
Boss.
Housing fund two includes two? How much is one?
What housing fund includes two?
Here.
There's a comma missing.
Housing fund, comma, includes two: food and accommodation.
Bank of the Mediterranean has a 130-year history.
What hasn't changed over the generations is the spirit of diligence in employees.
That's what gives them reason to be proud.
Personal financial services are of particular importance here.
Of the French banks in China, in terms of personal financial management
Bank of the Mediterranean is no less renowned than BNP and SG.
Our full name is France Bank of the Mediterranean China Limited.
As my subordinate, you need to know what our basic services entail.
One, provide service to French clients residing in China.
Second, provide service to Chinese clients
investing, studying abroad, or residing in France or Europe.
QFII's investment handbook.
It's not a confidential document. You can take it home to read.
From 2012?
No need. I have one.
Your thesis is in it.
Really?
China's domestic situation and bad trade record.
Your views are very insightful. I share the same opinions.
You said Western economists believe
the law can occasionally yield to the state of a country
but finance cannot.
If it does, disaster will follow.
Your business cards.
Your French name is Julian.
Julian?
Who knows if they're somebody's leftover business cards?
There's just an office number, no cell number.
I'm sure it was left behind by the last guy.
Julian is fine.
Julian is like Julien. "The Red and the Black," you know?
Julien Sorel?
Are you a lover?
I'm in love, not a lover.
Cheng Gong, did you have something to tell me?
I went to Liepin this morning to fetch an invoice.
A beverage factory commissioned Liepin
to help fill in management positions in 16 departments.
The salaries are quite high.
Could we handle a job like that?
Probably.
Go check out the beverage factory and learn about their characteristics
product marketing, and trademarked merchandise.
We can do without charging a fee.
This is the factory director.
Is working at the bank interesting?
Working in an office is always a bit dull.
I just don't understand.
Is working as a low-ranking bank employee worthwhile?
You were waited on as the boss here.
Do you think it's worthwhile?
No.
Why?
It's just...
not happy.
We're not working together anymore. It doesn't feel stable.
What would make you happy?
To Hui, happiness means being together.
To you, it's pretending to be an elite, wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase
and working your ass off in a fancy office building.
Xiong Qing Chun.
We agreed not to interfere in each other's decisions.
I like working in the CBD.
What's wrong with having demands of myself?
Is being stuck in a small house together the only way to make you happy?
Did I ever say that?
Even if you want to go out and work, find a more decent job.
With my record, who would offer me a decent job?
Besides, I already discussed this with you in the very beginning.
You also agreed in front of Lin Bai.
You're acting weird today.
There must be a reason you're acting so abnormally.
Tell me. What happened?
There's nothing to ask about.
I've just gotten used to being with you all the time.
I haven't seen you the past two days.
You should understand.
Okay.
I understand.
I really understand.
I met you just to understand you.
Director Xie said
her ingrate brother sued me
and wrote over 20,000 characters in a document against me.
Over 20,000 characters.
You shouldn't have gotten close with someone like that.
Ji called from Moscow asking about even more exaggerated claims.
He heard you committed suicide.
There are many rumors, some true, some false.
You need to be aware of the facts.
Yi Ren.
Transfer the money in the accounts to a safe place.
Just to be safe.
Financial issues are my weakness at the moment.
This is now a question of time.
Maybe you're reading too much into it.
A minute late.
I can hear the footsteps of the Discipline Commission
coming closer and closer.
What will happen in the future?
This sort of thing has happened many times in recent years.
You should know what will happen.
Don't scare yourself.
Maybe you will get through this safely.
You don't understand.
One month.
If nothing happens for a month, then maybe it'll blow over.
When are you going to Seoul?
Tomorrow.
I hope you can catch the plane.
Go back inside.
Don't worry.
Take care.
Chairman Meng, sorry to wake you up.
It should be very early in the morning in New York right now.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
It's like this.
Don't wait for Xia's response on the 23 Industrial Park piece of land.
Oh?
There may be trouble. I have an ominous feeling.
It'll depend on the coming month.
I understand. Take care.
I'm coming back next month around the 10th.
As friends, I hope everybody will be safe.
Hold on.
Hello?
Luo?
Are you still there? Hello?
Luo?
Chairman Meng.
No need to wait anymore.
It's happening now.
What do you mean? What's happened?
Hello? Hello?
Luo!
Hello?
Mom, what are you doing?
Is Dad well?
Don't let him bike. If he won't listen to you, tell him I said so.
Mom, I'll be abroad for some time.
Maybe a month or two. I'm not sure yet.
I may not call as often. Don't worry about me.
Mom, take care of yourself.
Goodbye.
Don't look anymore.
Go back outside.
Hello?
- Hello, Chairwoman Luo? - Yes.
Have you listened to "A Love Affair"?
I've listened to the sample. The melody's fine, but it can be better.
The recording studio is booked for three days.
Yes, he has his own producer.
Please wait a moment.
The band has been confirmed and paid.
I want Jacky on the graphic design.
Yes.
- The tune should be a bit nostalgic - The theme?
The theme should be hope, of course.
Believe in tomorrow?
Yes, nicely put. To believe in tomorrow.
It can be a bit sentimental, but the main key must be optimistic.
- I understand. - Thank you.
On behalf of Zhong Bao Media
I'm handing this project over to you completely.
You may have difficulty contacting me. Work with what you have.
- That's all now. Goodbye. - Okay, bye.
Are you Luo Yi Ren?
I am.
30,000 yuan deposit, 300,00 yuan down payment?
The price is all right.
This is a bit far.
The ones close by are expensive.
It's over 40,000 yuan on this side of the river.
GM Xiong, do you have to buy a new house when you get married?
Isn't the place we're at quite nice?
Marry without buying a house? She doesn't just fall into his lap.
GM Xiong buying a house would make it a dowry.
Marrying with the house is called a modern example.
Learn something.
I'm looking at houses for him.
Zheng Qiu Dong will be paying. I'm not that noble.
What does it mean to be left speechless?
Dumbstruck with your mouth hanging open.
It must be about the same meaning as "dumb as a wooden chicken."
More or less.
When you get married, you should have your husband buy a villa for you.
Villa? No! A yacht!
A game and a dream.
A fleeting illusion and a winter chill.
A man with a yacht and a villa
wouldn't fall for a lowly office lady.
Wake up, Qing Wen. (Reference to "Dream of the Red Chamber")
Wait, it's Xi Ren. Wake up, Xi Ren.
GM Xiong, you know, Jia Bao Yu's servant girl?
She later married that opera singer. What was the name?
What do you mean?
The appearance of a lady, but the fate of a servant girl.
That's talking about her, right?
GM Xiong, look here.
No, don't hit me.
GM Xiong, I was wrong! You two--
Boss, I was wrong!
Don't hit me! I know I was wrong!
Does this count as a work injury?
When you log in to Bank of the Mediterranean's network
you'll find that of 72 structured financial products since 2012
only six have not reached the anticipated earnings yield
and lower than two percent.
That's a 72 to 6 ratio.
Six isn't a low number.
I've had a 10.5 percent yield before.
After a year, it diminished to zero.
That's definitely a small probability event.
How did you get your anticipated yield rate?
The yield estimate is calculated from financial derivatives.
Generally, it requires
anywhere from 10 to upwards of 100 variable parameter inputs.
When these parameters--
Recommend a few investments to me, but not on gold.
Manager Song from the Beijing branch sent over a document
asking about the Puanli series
181-day euro-to-dollar exchange rate pegging situation.
The more complicated the situation, the higher the risks.
Even an intern understands this. He doesn't know it?
Manager Song's email included a link
of headquarter's new contract for interest rate swap and currency swap.
Structured financial products usually cannot be terminated early
unless criteria for the provision for an early termination event has been met.
I am an artist.
I need money to go to France to hold an exhibit.
A fireworks version of the Eiffel Tower.
You need money?
Do you want to apply for a loan?
An Eiffel Tower made up of fireworks.
Have you seen one? Thought of seeing one?
Dare to believe it?
Do you want a coffee?
Hello?
Back from the UK?
I've been back for a few days.
The latest insider news has to do with you.
What news would concern me?
Is it convenient for you to speak?
Yes, go ahead.
Luo Yi Ren's Chief Xia Ji Guo is in trouble.
Are you sure?
It should be true.
The disciplinary committee took him away.
What about Luo Yi Ren?
Lost contact.
Can you reach someone close to her and ask for details?
It's such a high-profile case.
The people below them are already stunned.
Just wait.
How is it going on your end?
Getting used to working at the bank?
It's all right. I'm used to working alone.
It feels awkward being ordered around all day now.
I'll get used to it.
What's the story with the Xia case?
There have been rumors about him and dubious finances.
So generally speaking, Luo Yi Ren must have been taken in.
Even if she's clean
she will have to be investigated anyway.
Besides, chances are slim that she's not involved.
She'll already be very lucky if it's not serious.
Is there news online?
I checked. None yet. It just happened.
I have to go. I have a call coming in.
Hello, Lin Bai?
Saul has already contacted Headquarters and proposed your transfer to Hangzhou.
I saw the email when I was the UK.
I have no objections.
Come quickly.
I already sent correspondence to Foseck.
There's no need to inform Foseck with someone of my level.
Just Director Lu is enough.
Once he gives the signal, I'll make a beeline for Hangzhou
to be under your leadership.
Bank financial products are only expected to yield an estimate
not the final bank base rate.
That's quite true. Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Then the next step is meeting with the product manager.
- Bye. - Good, thank you. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
[Xia Ji Guo financial scandal]
[Luo Yi Ren]
Manager Bi, the Zidans of Zhe Da were just here.
They asked about the monthly RSI drawdown
after the US dollar and Japanese yen stay on course
and if a 110.7 exchange rate can be a critical resistance level.
A pair of lunatics. Is this something they should be concerned about?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Yes.
Real or fake?
I really do. Why?
It's nothing.
I made a bet with Bastian.
I said you didn't have a girlfriend. He said you do. He wins.
What was the prize?
Pizza, a nine-inch pizza. He's won twice.
If you'd be more willing for him to treat you to pizza
I could say I don't have one.
Really?
Wonderful!
Stupid.
Our properties offer the best value in this district.
In the past few days
there have been many clients who made reservations on Anjuke for a viewing.
Really?
Are you purchasing property for yourself or for elders?
For myself.
- A new house for getting married. - Really?
Congratulations. We offer many configurations for you to choose from.
Those two buildings have a nice view. There's a pool downstairs--
My dear.
If it isn't Qing Chun! What a coincidence.
Auntie.
You're here to view a property as well?
You've been in Hangzhou the whole time?
After my lease expired, I stayed and haven't gone back.
You look different. I nearly couldn't recognize you.
I just overheard someone's getting married.
Is it you or this pretty girl?
Me.
I'm living my life in Hangzhou.
Are you still in contact with Tong?
Auntie, we've already broken up. You should know that.
He's also doing well now.
He has a new girlfriend who's Portuguese, right?
This lady sure is pretty. Are you two together?
I am General Manager Xiong's secretary. Auntie, you can just call me Jia.
General Manager Xiong?
- You're a boss now? - No.
You've even been given a secretary.
Tell me what job the man does.
He is my business partner. We run a business together.
He's works in finance at a foreign investment bank now.
Oh, really? That's nice.
In the beginning, she just stared at me
then she babbled a few things here and there and took off.
I've never seen her with a smile like that before.
I got chills down my spine.
She's getting old. Don't agitate her.
How did I agitate her?
You have money to buy a house.
To a woman who once looked down on you
that's like a bee sting to the forehead.
You know what?
Jia quickly slipped into an act. Her acting classes paid off.
She kept calling me General Manager Xiong
so much that Auntie couldn't even get a word in.
Did that feel particularly satisfying?
No, actually.
I just think she's quite pitiful.
Her son is abroad and she lives here by herself.
She doesn't have a partner and is all alone.
I don't want to end up like that.
How were the houses?
I was just on Anjuke.
87 square meters, good layout, and comes with a parking spot.
How much is it?
Do you love me?
I love you.
I really love you.
How long will you love me?
I will love you for however long I live.
I'm pregnant.
Really?
Are you sure?
Of course.
How long?
Not long. Just now.
Chun Chun.
Don't work anymore. Let's hire another person.
If you get bored, you can drop by the store.
I'll have Cheng Gong take your spot.
What do you think?
You really want a child?
Of course.
I'm brimming with fatherly love.
Now's the perfect time to have a child.
Look.
"When you tell your boyfriend you're pregnant"
"and he comes up with various reasons not to keep it, such as not being ready"
"that means he never considered marrying you"
"Rejection is a sign of concealment."
"If he is overjoyed and shows care when he learns you're pregnant"
"a man who looks forward to having the baby"
"he is a lover you can depend on."
"A man like that loves you."
"A responsible man."
I'm like that.
I love you too.
["Men Are Wrong, Women Are Wrong"]
What does this mean?
Are you really pregnant or not?
I declare...
I'm not pregnant!
We're so busy right now.
We'd be so swamped if we had a child.
I was just testing you.
Get lost!
Can you be serious for once?
How can you joke about being a mother?
You were so manly just now.
Do it again.
Do what again?
"Get lost." Please.
Please. Come on.
Lin Bai.
Hi, Yuan.
What's the grand plan now?
Let's save the feast for later. Since I'm here, I should see the boss.
I haven't seen Saul after he left Beijing.
Do you have an appointment?
I spoke to him on the phone back in Beijing.
It's proper etiquette.
I will consider it, Mr. Saul.
I hope I will hear back from you within the week, Mr. Fukuda.
Okay.
Hey, Steven. I received it.
Your shooting technique is amazing
and the quality of images is outstanding too.
Thank you.
Again, congratulations for your promotion.
I mean, being chief of the Americas is a great challenge.
Thank you.
All right, goodbye.
Hello.
I can't control the weather, Dierre.
It's raining in Marseille.
Maybe you can go to the beach and sightsee.
Maybe you'll get to see Zidane or Nasri. Good luck.
Come in.
He's here.
Come in.
- Saul. - Lin Bai.
- Hello. - Hello.
After your call yesterday, I took a stroll down memory lane.
It's been over three years since we last met.
Yes, over three years.
At your farewell party, we were talking about the World Cup.
Team USA lost to Canada in overtime. Remember?
- I remember. - Let's sit down.
Fukuda of Tokai Corporation just left and left a document with Angela.
I'll go ask Angela.
You two can talk.
- Okay, take your time. - Okay.
You met Yuan Kun through the France Bank project?
Yes, I was the only one sent from Beijing on that case.
Vice Chairman Yuan--
Enough about him. Let's talk about you.
Are you still single?
When you left, I wasn't married yet?
It's a bit small.
It's the CBD though. Every inch is worth a fortune.
It's not small. This is great.
This is just a consulting agency.
Even if all I have left is a swiveling chair
it must be placed at the most valuable spot.
Reputation matters.
What do you want to have for dinner?
Up to you. I'm fine with anything.
Aren't you and Saul too...
Tell the truth.
I don't want to want to work in an ambiguous environment.
A bit, but it's not serious.
Saul interferes too much in the tech sector I'm in charge of.
Let's not talk about this. You just arrived. You'll find out later.
There's something I want to discuss.
What is it?
Let's go somewhere else.
What I want to talk about is your Zheng Qiu Dong.
How is he, my Zheng Qiu Dong?
What is this about?
I ultimately had a small headhunting firm conduct his interview.
My thinking was that if anything bad were to happen
it'd be best if he had nothing to do with us and Te Hui.
Before I left last time, I already had a bad feeling.
What happened with Zheng Qiu Dong?
There is an immigration consultancy firm.
Their parent company is located in Beijing and very powerful.
They can even easily obtain a certificate of no criminal conviction
for an ex-convict for immigration.
They've always wanted to get some...
specific client data from foreign investment banks.
For example, those in finance or foreign investment.
Do you understand?
I think I do, but you still need to explain.
I'll lay it out for you.
Only someone on the inside can access internal data.
Zheng Qiu Dong was the one to infiltrate.
Okay.
What's the name of the headhunting firm that interviewed Zheng Qiu Dong?
New Jin Cheng. They were established not too long ago.
How much did the immigration consultancy offer
to place Zheng Qiu Dong in the bank?
A substantial amount. After it's done, Zheng Qiu Dong will receive 30 percent.
The remaining 70 percent goes to New Jin Cheng
and they'll allot N percent to you.
- And you. - Mine too?
I didn't do anything. Why would I receive a share?
You're the one who found Zheng Qiu Dong.
There's also a part where you're needed.
You want me to convince Zheng Qiu Dong
to steal the data.
That sounds a bit unpleasant. It's not called stealing.
It's that idea.
I want to know the amount of his 30 percent
and how much you and I get.
Total of 600,000 yuan.
According to the agreement, Zheng Qiu Dong gets 30 percent.
If you convince him and he supplies the data, you get 12 percent.
I merely brought everyone together. 8 percent.
That headhunting firm sure is greedy, taking 50 percent for themselves.
No, there is commission.
I'm strongly disgusted by this.
This is aiding and abetting.
This isn't a crime.
The wheels have been set in motion.
It's not our style to stop midway.
This can be fun.
If you want to simplify things, just pretend it's a game of intelligence.
Try your hand at making the impossible possible.
Since you put it that way...
I do want to see if it'll be difficult.
I'm curious about Zheng Qiu Dong's reaction.
- Don't blame me if it doesn't work out. - How could I?
I'll test the waters with him first.
Those with competitive hearts will all make the same decision.
It has nothing to do with success or failure.
Don't mention me to anyone, and definitely not Beijing.
The money only goes through your hands. I'm not touching anyone's money.
