[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 45]
Look.
This "Southern Documentary" was discontinued in 2009.
The Documentary Channel website
offers electronic editions of its 84 issues over 21 years.
Only the second issue of 1999 is missing.
Look, right here.
Chairman Zheng, what are your intentions?
This issue has a report named, "Dan Nong Cosmetic's founder, Liu An".
I saw a synopsis here.
We can go to a library to find it and photocopy this article.
That's my intention. Go.
Sorry to make you wait.
Sheng Huang's latest product, the Aurora series.
It's whitening sunscreen.
Thanks, but I really have no use for such high-end cosmetics.
You can give it as a gift.
I'm sure there's someone you can give it to you.
Thank you.
I know a secret of yours.
It seems your life isn't dull at all.
What do you mean?
You saw me and Manager Luo in the elevator
and your imagination began to run wild.
A part of it is my imagination, but I do also have facts.
You must have been deeply influenced by your boyfriend
and taken an interest in gathering intelligence.
If an event is significant enough
your mind will be forced to save the memory.
I remember when Chief Xia Ji Guo was embroiled in a scandal
there was a woman who was implicated.
It left me with a deep impression.
What else?
And there was also a comedian who is quite popular now.
I thought you'd be preoccupied with your own troubles.
I didn't expect you to be in the mood for gossip.
It seems you aren't too bothered your boyfriend's condition.
If I'd known of your talent for gathering intelligence
I'd have recommended you as a replacement for Chen Xiang.
What are you doing?
Hello.
There's an unusual character in the missing Pan Pacific Airways flight.
What unusual character?
Don't make wild assumptions.
Those who know classified information about the United States
are ready to defect, like Snowden
and have been discovered by the CIA.
That's considered a delusion, isn't it?
What happens after being discovered by the CIA?
This destination of Flight TP1130 was Shanghai.
The CIA would never allow it to land in China
so John Brennan ordered the US's Thirteenth Air Force
to deploy F-22s and force this flight to land.
- Land where? - Guam.
Anderson Air Force Base.
They caught the traitors, but what about the other 225 passengers?
Secretly taken care of.
In any case, they're permanently lost.
It seems his stress doesn't come from work.
Instead, it's from his suspicious nature.
How can you be sure?
I once received an anonymous call.
They said someone framed Mr. Chen for having ties to Dan Nong Cosmetics.
Sheng Huang's executives, including your father
have heard of this to some extent.
It's false. It's all false. None of that can be trusted.
My father won't believe it either.
Anybody in bed with Dan Nong is Sheng Huang's enemy.
Lost contact.
Contact lost forever.
Won't be returning.
Never to return. [Message from Yang Nian]
["Dan Nong Cosmetics's founder, Liu An"]
- Chairman Zheng. - Chairman Zheng, look.
Isn't it just a few articles?
Why is this the only issue missing online?
I asked the responsible editor of the Documentary Channel.
She said the first electronic copies were all available.
In 2011, Dan Nong Cosmetics's chairman, Liu An
suggested withdrawing this issue
because this article about him wasn't well written.
Dan Nong paid a sponsorship fee and both parties came to an agreement
and this issue's electronic copy was no longer available.
You guys can go. I'm going to stay a bit.
Yan Feng is close to the hospital director.
She brought Chen Xiang to the movies and to a hotel.
At the theater parking lot, Chen Xiang even helped me back up.
Nothing seemed abnormal about him.
It's absolutely an act.
The article you two found gave me an idea.
Liu An of Shanghai's Dan Nong comes from the same hometown as Chen Xiang.
They're both from Pan'an.
This could also just be a coincidence.
In 1995, Liu An's son died from a car accident.
He donated his organs to peers who needed them the most.
Record this with your phone.
I have a new mission for you.
You'll be going out of town for a secret investigation.
First, who received Liu An's son's organs after his death?
This won't be a secret among his hometown classmates and teachers.
It would be a good deed praised by all.
Second, Chen Xiang was admitted into Nanjing University.
Why did he drop out midway?
He then got into University of Science and Technology of China
to study competitive intelligence.
His family was very poor and would've had difficulty paying tuition.
Why did he waste his time and money like that?
You may have to track down his classmates at the time.
Third, you could try going to Chen Xiang's old home to see his parents.
The elderly in the countryside are not too wary of others.
It's time to test how well you can track people down.
Do you have confidence in this mission?
Yes.
Are there restrictions on expenses?
Of course. Strict restrictions. Save your receipts.
Go to Accounting later to pick up cash and credit cards.
I've already notified them.
Director Zhao will also teach you how to spend properly.
Go on ahead. I have to meet a client.
[Dan Nong, Liu An]
[Pan'an, Liu Guang Ming]
[Heart transplantation]
Chairman Zheng, you're early.
Coffee?
I heard your consulting area of expertise is in finance.
How come you're dabbling in competitive intelligence this time?
It seems we've each been doing our own investigations.
I haven't been doing it in secret, but merely gathering public information.
My company doesn't deal specifically with competitive intelligence.
I just wanted to give it a try.
I thought about outsourcing the job
but I didn't expect your profile to satisfy my client so well.
It became a simple task of connecting two parties.
That I can do.
It was an offhand comment. I wasn't looking for an answer.
I asked to meet today to tell you
I have begun working on Sheng Huang's CIO position.
Don't assume that I am unreliable, only showing up once, then disappearing.
I wouldn't think that.
I know headhunters always finish what they start.
Yes.
In addition, I also want to clarify something.
Please tell.
There have been a history of conflicts in Sheng Huang
revolving around Chen Xiang and Dan Nong Cosmetics.
You may know a some of it, but don't wish to say too much
so you suggested I find out for myself.
That can turn out to be good.
I have a duty to find out about
the personnel situation of your future position
and straighten out any unharmonious relationships.
I hope you will have patience.
Thank you.
I already have a feeling this will be a pleasant cooperation.
Sheng Huang and Dan Nong's corporate warfare
isn't a recent occurrence.
There are many rumors.
They're new to you as an industry outsider
but it's nothing new to us.
Some of it is extremely disturbing while some is merely absurd gossip.
But no matter what is rumored, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's impossible for anyone to uncover the truth of this corporate warfare.
De Ren will strive to do so. Please rest assured, Director Zhou.
In our last meeting, you said something that lingered and resounded in my mind.
I couldn't forget about it.
I'd like to ask for your advice again.
Lingered and resounded in your mind?
You're making me interested in what I said myself.
What was it?
The first was that Yan Bing He kept something from me.
The other was that Chen Xiang has a story.
I say it lingered and resounded in my mind
because your tone and eyes held many hidden messages.
I couldn't figure out what you were implying.
Director Zhou, what did you mean by those words?
Actually, I really didn't mean to imply anything by it.
If there was
it would be to arouse your interest in Yan Bing He and Chen Xiang
and clarify the facts.
I understand now.
Thank you for your silent support.
Silent support?
Have I?
You must know Mr. Gu Ru Min who was dismissed from Sheng Huang.
He provided me with very important clues.
Although he said he learned about me from someone close to Yan Bing He
I deduced that you were the one to tell him.
He only said that so as not to expose you.
You have the mind to recruit me and I have the intention of going.
Under such circumstances, helping you would mean helping myself.
Thank you for thinking that way.
This will primarily be our responsibility to accomplish
but the legal representative needs to sign to confirm.
Next, we'll look at things of note.
The main points are
original hard copies, company name, signatures
official company seal, and application date.
Now let's look at points of lesser note.
First, accurate, complete, and detailed filling out of the listing application.
Why do we say it must be accurate, complete, and detailed?
That's because during this process
every detail is relevant to the company's future development.
If there are any mistakes
it could possibly lead to failure in listing.
Second, all fields in the application are required.
This is similar to the previous point.
After that, we submit the application to the Securities Regulatory Commission.
This will take two to three months if everything proceeds smoothly.
After our application is accepted by the regulatory board--
I don't know why I keep drooling lately.
It's best to see a traditional Chinese physician.
There's one in my mom's nursing home who is supposedly quite amazing.
His ancestor was an imperial physician.
Thank you.
Can you two be more serious?
She's talking about you.
He keeps messing with me!
Now I'll talk about the regulations on NEEQ.
There are three main aspects.
Taxation, accounting, and legal topics.
We can see that NEEQ's general situation...
Thank you.
Like the food here now?
I have no use for those.
Left behind by the ex?
Was that necessary?
It's so late.
If you sympathize with the owner, order a bowl.
I'm not hungry.
Fine.
Waiter, a bowl of wontons.
Okay.
Why did you come if you're not hungry?
I was passing by. I guessed you might be here.
Or maybe you weren't.
Oh, right.
The road to going public is a long one.
The broker lures you in at the beginning, telling you about all the benefits.
They don't tell you the whole truth.
They wait for you to take the first step
and then force you to do things you have to do.
What were you cracking up about in the conference room today?
He keeps teasing me.
If you won't tell the truth, you can keep your mouth.
Don't keep me from watching the movie.
What do you mean? You don't believe me?
"Chungking Express"?
When I left the stadium, I left behind my pager.
Because I knew nobody would call me today.
It's been 11 years.
We were at the UME Cinema in 2004.
On May 1, 1994...
On May 1, 1994
a woman wished me happy birthday.
Because of that, I will forever remember this woman.
If memories are to be canned, I hope they will never expire.
If there must be an expiration date, I hope it will be in 10,000 years.
Your wontons.
How long has this shop been open?
This shop's been open a year and a half.
Are you from Shandong?
Yes, Wendeng, Shandong.
He must think we're both lunatics.
No way. He must think the two of us are the same as him.
Who is the same as whom?
We don't have a desire-free life like he does.
After experiencing so much, we can see the big picture now.
Are we not free of desires?
I'm not hungry. Can you eat more?
I'll only eat half.
Just eat it all. Don't waste it.
Much has been wasted in these 11 years.
What is a bowl of wontons in comparison?
[Thank you.]
Feel free to look around.
Chen Xiang likes lamps?
He's been to many places around the world.
He always brings a lamp back.
His old room is practically a lamp storage room.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
["Spycatcher"]
He seems quite cool.
He has an unusual aesthetic sense.
He is quite unusual.
Why does he have two desks in his office?
To others, he may seem to have peculiar habits.
This is what they mean.
Other people's offices only have one desk.
He has two, so that makes him strange.
Others only use one computer the whole day.
He uses two, so that makes him strange.
But I think he's normal.
If there's a paper I didn't finish writing in the morning
then how will I continue in the afternoon?
Email the morning's unfinished document
and continue writing on a different computer in the afternoon.
A different desk gives a different feeling.
Isn't that a good thing?
A happiness that comes from within.
He looks very joyful.
He always has been.
He's also very humorous.
He always has been.
But not now, right?
Of course.
I believe he will get better.
As long as you complete your task soon
and help free him of this predicament
he will get better with time off to unwind.
He likes Germany?
No.
He likes Germany's soccer team.
They are very impressive
for their impressive win over Brazil in last year's World Cup.
He also likes the black section on the Germany flag.
Why?
He said to dare place the color black into the national flag
involved higher-order reasoning.
Profound.
What does your father think of him?
He treated him like his own son.
I would even sometimes feel like a daughter-in-law instead.
Is that so?
That was in the past. It isn't like that now.
Has your father spoken about his condition?
Of course he has.
In the past, he would play matchmaker, but now can't seem to carry on.
He believes I'm acting according to my feelings
being stubborn, and protecting Chen Xiang.
I think he listened to some false reports
and fell for others' plans to drive a wedge between us.
It sounds like a complicated political scheme.
Have you heard of the name Gu Ru Min?
Him?
He's scum.
He was fired from Sheng Huang.
How do you know of him?
He came to see me.
He went to you?
He must be crazy.
He would only say to you that Chen Xiang is a double-crosser.
That he's a spy Dan Nong sent to Sheng Huang
to help them steal our R&D results. Right?
You know?
It's a tune he's been singing for five years.
It's nothing new.
Mr. Zheng, think about it.
Sheng Huang is everything to Chen Xiang.
It's the place he developed his career.
He could even be the future head of Sheng Huang.
Why would he betray Sheng Huang?
Gu Ru Min just doesn't use his brain. He's so stupid.
In order to make this sound real
he even said it was Dan Nong's people who unintentionally let slip the secret
exposing Chen Xiang.
In the end, the person who revealed the secret can't be tracked down either.
He would go to any lengths.
You don't have to believe it.
But does your father believe it?
He originally refused to believe it and laughed it off.
But as he aged, the rumors continued to brew for years
and he began to worry.
He slowly began to suspect Chen Xiang.
That's how people are.
Once suspicions arise, they continue to grow.
I'll be honest with you.
My dad is also searching for a replacement for Chen Xiang.
A king is most afraid of his kingdom falling into the hands of outsiders.
Interesting.
You're both looking for a replacement.
Ms. Yan.
I have a sheer wild guess.
Don't take it to heart if it's not true.
That's okay. Go ahead and say it.
Gu Ru Min and Chen Xiang were once as incompatible as water and oil.
They secretly investigated each other in attempts to bring the other down.
They even brought their rivalry to your father.
Why is that?
Was it truly only for the company's interests?
Could there be other reasons?
For example, to win your affections?
No such thing. Why would you think that?
Gu Ru Min and I view each other like dirt beneath our feet.
Chen Xiang is my first love.
In that regard, I'm as simple as a middle schooler.
It's true.
I do not have as rich a history as you and Ms. Luo.
That's such a sudden change of topic.
I don't even know how to respond.
She and I were in the past.
There is no rich history to speak of.
With your skill for intelligence, you could replace Chen Xiang.
Mocking me?
This is the second time you've said that to me.
Mr. Zheng, Ms. Luo is our asset manager.
It's natural I would like to know more about her.
That's why I've asked around.
I hope you don't mind.
I don't.
It's just that asking you about Chen Xiang is part of my job.
Discussing Luo means we're digressing.
Balance between work and rest.
One last question.
Do a lot of people have an interest in her?
Her?
Luo Yi Ren?
I don't know how to answer this question.
Are these Chen Xiang's favorite players?
I guess so.
Is it your hobby as well?
Just average.
I only know two of these.
This is Kroos.
This is Klinsmann, the Golden Bomber.
He's been the head coach for both the German and American teams.
This is more unique than the rest.
A childhood memory.
Since the intermediary has been determined
you can work with the sponsor institution
to formulate a share restructuring proposal.
It should be simple for De Ren.
You are De Ren's CFO.
You can discuss securities trading with Lin Bai and Luo Yi Ren
and move forward on your own.
No need to wait for Zheng Qiu Dong. He doesn't understand these things.
Just have him sign.
Just let him juggle playing detective and dating.
Is he there right now? Have I said too much?
He's not here. Chairman Zheng went out.
The securities company will be doing most of the coaching before we go public.
I'm only responsible for gathering personnel and data preparation.
Hi, Kui.
Hi, CEO Lin.
You'll be a father soon, right? Congratulations.
Are you happy?
Thank you.
Director Zhao, the rest will be a string of licensing changes.
You need to be prepared.
Okay.
Kui, I'm done with my questions. It's CEO Lin's turn.
It's my turn now.
Kui, I have a lot of questions. I hope you don't find me bothersome.
There's no rush. Take it slowly.
Is the securities dealer the main coordinator
between us and the intermediary agency?
Of course.
They're your share restructuring financial consultant.
They come first, while you assist.
Let's jump off topic a bit.
How are those two now?
The chairman and the share broker's representative?
They've had a lot of contact lately.
Is there any substantial development?
Kui, what sort of substantial development do you want?
The changes in their situation are completely outside of my expectations.
Two experienced in the affairs of the heart are out of their elements.
They've become like teenagers experiencing their first taste of love.
Judging from the situation
they'll have to start from the warm-up stage.
It'll be considered good already if they progress to holding hands in a month.
I don't believe it.
They both have each other in their hearts but refuse to say it.
They both feel guilty and feel they owe the other person.
I know.
Zheng Qiu Dong has always felt burdened by his guilt.
He was once foolish and gave up.
But Luo Yi Ren has always lived her life in her own way and is very rational.
What does she owe Zheng Qiu Dong?
You don't understand, Lin Bai.
Luo Yi Ren is a contradictory individual.
She runs the extremes between respecting and belittling herself.
She has always had a man by her side
but they were just people she could take refuge with
disappointing choices she took after not being able to have Zheng Qiu Dong.
She hates herself for not being wild enough to take the chance.
I understand now.
What I have to do next
is to make them a little more wild in their interactions together
and forget all about what they owe.
- Right? - Absolutely correct.
What are you talking about?
You're back.
It's Kui.
- Hi, Kui. - Hi, Qiu Dong.
De Ren's CEO takes his work so seriously.
Congratulations in advance to a successful share restructuring.
It's my job.
How come you're back so soon?
Kui, were you two really talking about share restructuring?
Uh...
The connection isn't so good. Can you still see me?
I can't see you anymore.
No way. You guys are putting on an act.
Chairman Zheng.
We're back.
Go wash up and eat something.
Chen Xiang and Dan Nong's head, Liu An, are indeed both from Pan'an.
In 1995, Liu An's son, Liu Guang Ming, died in a car accident.
He was just 15 years old at the time.
He was dead by the time he reached the county hospital.
Before he died, he requested that his heart be donated to Chen Xiang.
Why Chen Xiang?
Liu Guang Ming's teacher said
he heard about Chen Xiang in the local broadcast.
Chen Xiang has congenital heart disease.
His family was poor and his father had died early on.
He only had his mother and grandmother.
Despite that, he still studied hard and had many achievements.
A charity once made an appeal for him but it did not yield any results.
Liu Guang Ming and Chen Xiang were the same age and from the same hometown.
That might be the reason.
At the time, Chen Xiang had already been waiting for a heart for over two years.
Their family did not harbor any hope.
Liu Guang Ming's heart happened to be a match to Chen Xiang
and that's how Chen Xiang received the transplant.
The surgery was done in Beijing.
At the time, Liu An was running a small cosmetics township enterprise.
The surgery fees and other living expenses used up all his savings.
His own son died but he treated Chen Xiang like his own son.
This was described in the second issue of "Southern Documentary" in 1999.
This is a report written by a local broadcast television reporter.
"A Compassionate Heart Continues On."
In 1998, Chen Xiang was accepted into Nanjing University.
He became a local sensation.
His Chinese teacher even wrote a lengthy congratulatory letter
and published it in the Jinhua student newsletter.
What did you find in Nanjing?
Chen Xiang's classmates from Nanjing University are mostly abroad now.
We only had a phone conversation with someone named Yu Chang Jiang.
He was dormmates with Chen Xiang for two years.
He said Chen Xiang was very lively at the time.
His father even visited him a few times
and treated his classmates to Nanjing salted duck.
We told Yu Chang Jiang
Chen Xiang lost his father when he was six years old.
We asked if he still remembered how the person who visited Chen Xiang looked.
He said he can no longer remember the man's appearance
but the man seemed to be in business and well-off.
During that time, Liu An's company was growing rapidly
and had already left Pan'an and established a presence in Jinhua.
Have you been to Chen Xiang's old home?
Our first stop after leaving the county was to go to his old home in Jianshan.
His grandmother has already passed away and his mother lives in Shanghai.
We didn't find anything.
Shanghai?
Her only son lives in Hangzhou and is so successful.
Why would she be living in Shanghai?
Is she alone or did she remarry?
The villagers didn't know much. It's been many years.
15th floor, thank you.
Excuse me.
Qiu Dong! What brings you here?
I've missed you so much.
Qiu Dong!
De Ren's corporate restructuring and profit model
are described clearly, which is good.
But this part, capacity for continued growth, isn't clear enough.
Financing, personnel...
[Classic Movie Screening]
If memories are to be canned, I hope they will never expire.
If there must be an expiration date, I hope it will be in 10,000 years.
