Episode 2
Who are you?
Sorry
I've entered the wrong room
Sorry
Do you know this is kidnapping?!
I will sue you!
Let go! Let me go!
I'm sorry!
She's my sister
Give to her
Come with me
Come with --
I'm not going!
I still want to attend fashion week
I'm not leaving the US
What fashion week are you attending?
Come home with me!
I'm not going! Come home with me!
All of you shut up!
Who are you?
You bluster--
Just trying yelling one more time!
I'll yell if I want!
I'm not going
Let me tell you
In the United States, if you trespass into other people's place
and act unreasonably teaching you a lesson
would be a legitimate defense
How awkward, mister
I'm sorry, don't be angry
I will take her away immediately
My mother is resting inside
You you girls dare to
emit another sound that reaches my ears
I will make it so you two will live here as well
Do you understand?
I understand
Don't you love your country?
Chinese people don't hurt other Chinese
Don't you know?
Tiantian!
Sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, mister
Let's go quickly
Tiantian
You are really
You say you go and you go
What kind of place New York is
Do you know?
Dragons and snakes gather there
There are all types of people
What if something happened to you?
Good thing you have your sister here
Sister?
She's not my sister
If she hadn't dragged me back
I might be famous at the fashion week now
Are you laughing at me?
Tianyu, stop the car
I don't want to be in the car with her
Sure, stop the car for her
Stop right here
Let her off go to your fashion week
Let her go
Okay, okay, okay
No one say anything else
For me
Can you two great ladies
not say anything?
Hey, Luo Bin
Can the information you sent me be trusted?
Is it midnight now over in New York?
Why aren't you asleep?
Wasn't I having a drink and readying for bed?
Seeing the bunch of files you sent me
do you think I can sleep any longer? I'm excited
Tell me what happened with that piece of land?
That piece of land was originally for commercial use
There's this old lady there who's more than 70 years old
Live or die, she's not willing to move
She won't accept any amount of compensation
Right now the developers are all small local developers
This matter has been dragged on for two years
The capital is about to run out
Now it's going around
Two years ago you told me
You were interested in that piece of land
And if there's an opportunity
you told me to keep it
You've done me a great favor
How should I say it
Help me keep that piece of land for now
Don't worry
No one is going to compete with you
But Xiaofei
I want to tell you
That old lady refuses to move It's very troublesome
You're not in the country so you don't know
I advise you to think carefully
Don't worry
There will be a solution
Anyway, I'll get that piece of land for sure
Just wait for news from me
Alright then
I'll get back to work first
You should also get some rest
Don't use alcohol at night for your worries
I know
Bye, bye
Actually, Kewan's Mr. Song
has been to New York before
We've run into each other several times
As to our cooperation
We've reached the preliminaries
But...
This involves two businesses
So the specifics of the cooperation
still need to be negotiated on mutually
The company returning to China for development
is the current direction for our family
Afterall, our descendants cannot forget their roots
But the problem is
We know very little
about the situation inside the country
Little is known
So who will represent Xie Corp
to negotiate with Kewan?
Hi everyone!
Hello
Good morning
What are you doing here?
I brought everyone breakfast
Stop messing around
Don't you see we're having an important meeting?
Leave it there for now
We'll eat later
Dad, let me tell you
For early morning meetings, eating something
will give you a clear head
Did you know?
Actually
Today I have something very important
I need to discuss with everyone
Everyone eat
I'll talk
Let me tell everyone about it
A place near Shanghai, China That's 1 hour drive away
Suzhou
There's a simple village there
But the people living there
At sunrise they work, and sunset they rest
The homes they live in
Each brick, each tile
are all built by them
In short
The people living there
are living a fairy life
Isn't that sister-in-law's grandmother's home?
Recently
I received some reliable information The local government is interested in that village
for commercial development
Hoping to grow the local tourism
In other words
They're looking for the right developer
What you mean is
You want to buy this piece of land in Suzhou?
You're smart
But you've only guessed half of it
It's true I want to develop in this place
into a resort
But
I also want to grow it into a resort that's different
from all former Xie Corp's holdings
An ecological resort
An ecological resort?
That's correct
Xie Corp wants to expand to China I think this will be a good project
This resort will be a great expression
of the charm of traditional Chinese culture
In this small village we don't need to change anything
we don't need to touch the facilities
All we need to do is give the visiting guests
the feel of rural life
of the great countryside
Hows that?
This idea isn't so bad right?
This idea
is somewhat bold
It's indeed bold
Elder brother
I'll say something in all fairness
I'm doubtful about Xiaofei's idea
But Xiaofei
is now concerned for the company
How about...
Let him try
If he fails
We can win other projects to make it up
Right?
Only... in the past Xiaofei
wasn't interested in company affairs
Why the sudden change?
Do you have the confidence to do well on this project?
Uncle
I cannot not progress
If I progress, you don't believe it, right?
In business
You have to pay attention to profits and losses
You've never done business before Your first project is such a huge investment
Can you handle it?
I know usually
you're all saying behind my back that I don't work hard
I won't do this
I won't do that
I'm idle all day
I'm boxing with foreigners
But right now
I've gotten serious
I will be serious
I'll Inspect this project
Manage the Xie Corp
18 Cang
Is Xie Corp's most important asset
I know everyone won't let me arbitrarily try
But the future of 18 Cang is in our motherland
In the end we still have to go home to expand
You all have to support my ecological resort plan
Alright
We'll end here for today
Meeting ajourned
Xiaofei
Follow me
Are you feeling any better, dad?
You know how to be concerned for your dad?
How long have you been watching
the piece of land in Suzhou?
Two months?
Two weeks?
Two days?
Two years, dad
Let me tell you, that piece of land in Suzhou
is not something I've suddenly decided on
Even though I'm not in China
That piece of land
I've always told my friend to watch the situation on that side
I'm still looking for the right opportunity
Now the opportunity is there
Convince me
You fool around everyday
How can I dare to believe you?
This is no small investment
In recent years, I've been flying to China
I know everyone believes
I've been outside wining and dining
Playing and relaxing
It's still eating and drinking
But the results are different for every person
Every time I go to China
I interact with different people
I can feel China has changed
enormously
Do you know, dad?
People who are older like you
Don't like change
But to young people
Change means having a chance
For modern businesses
Change could mean failure
But to not change, is the same as suicide
Up until now, Xie Corp has been
focused on their concept of luxury services
To young people such as me
there's always the feeling that it's too high end
It's cannot rouse the feeling of
camaraderie between young people
A kind of emotional resonance
The market right now Is growing more youthful
That's why we really can't
give up on the young people
Do you understand, dad?
This time you have to support
my ecological plan
Another thing, dad
I know
That piece of land is from mom's hometown
Alright
Don't say anymore
Go outside first
I still have an important phone meeting
In your heart
Do I have any standing?
Forget I said anything
Brother, calm down
If you're here to help dad
then advise me
Brother
Actually in front of everyone
dad always praises and protects you
Dad is strict with you only because
he has high expectations of you
Don't get confused, okay?
He doesn't want what's good for me
He only want what's good for the company
So later the company will have
an heir that won't embarrass him
That's it
Xiaotian
This isn't my dream
I can't I be tied to this company
for the rest of my life
Brother
What are you saying?
You're the only heir to Xie...
The people who can see
recognize you're more suitable than me
to become heir
But I'm not --
I know what you want to say
that you're not a biological child, right?
That doesn't matter
The system of the eldest son inheriting
Are you kidding me?
What era is this, Xiaotian?
You have the capability
People will rest assured if the company is in your hands
No, don't say anymore
In my heart
You are my real brother
So in front of me
Don't say the word "No"
You hear?
Brother
As it should be
Bye bye
Uncle Xie
Little Xi
You've come
Quick, come inside
Come in
How embarassing
I've come late
No problem
I know how bad the traffic is in New York
Come, let me see
I haven't seen you in a few years
You've gotten prettier
You flatter me
Here, here
Don't keep standing, sit
Sit
Uncle Xie
This is the present my father told me to bring
I hope you like it
Good item
This must be a sacrifice for your father
My father got it by betting
It's not worth much
He's giving it to you for casual play
Alright, then I'll accept it
Sit
Let let's talk about the business at hand
The young have no patience
Actually,
Last time when your father came to New York
We intended to cooperate
and discuss some preliminary plans
As for the specifics...
Let's wait until you and Xiaofei reach Shanghai
then you can leisurely discuss it
Xiaofei is...?
I forgot to introduce you
Here
The person next to me
is Xiaofei
The obnoxious child of the Xie family
Brother
Are you really not going over there
with manager Li?
I'm going on ahead to Shanghai first
Isn't this what dad wanted?
Are you still mad at dad?
I wouldn't dare
Brother
Dad was never really against your plan
Just the opposite
I can tell dad appreciates it
The reason why he didn't let you do it
Is probably because of his own concerns
A person who all day long is a layabout
Who doesn't work
What achievements can they make?
Don't all of you think like that?
Brother, don't say that
Everyone knows your talents
You go and tell dad
In Shanghai
I will definitely give a good performance
The person next to me
Is Xiaofei
The obnoxious child of the Xie family
You're Xiaofei?
Who are you?
I've seen your picture
in uncle Xie's office
Hello, I'm Zhou Chenxi
What are you doing here?
Don't mention him
This time I'm returning home to play
Don't spoil my mood
Really?
Come here
Don't tell my dad
I can't let my dad know
I'm not working
Okay?
Ladies and gentlemen
This is an emergency broadcast
If there are any doctors on board
Please contact the pilot immediately
Please contact the pilot
if you're a doctor on board
Hey, what's going on?
A 60 year old lady has just fainted in the economy class
It's most likely fatigue
From the flight that caused the...
temporary dizziness
It's best to
let the patient lie down
and just relax
for a bit
I'm sorry but the flight is full
and there are no other seats available
It's okay
You can let her sit in my seat
Oh but you're in first class
Yup
Thank you
Did you see?
Even if you give me royal robes to wear I still wouldn't be a prince
Why is that?
Because that status does not belong to me
So I have to go back now
Bye, bye
Young man
Thank you
No problem
You get some rest
This person
There's not a single truth coming from his mouth
He's a pretty good person
Xiaotian
Dad
Brother's flight has landed
I privately confirmed it with the flight crew
Good
You've worked hard, Xiaotian
That's right, dad
I truly think brother's idea is very good
Extremely good
Then why don't you let him do it?
Even though in recent years
he's lived a little carelessly
In talent, there's no problem
You're right, Xiaotian
Before
your brother has accomplish a few things
The problem is
Building the company by doing projects
with the work of Xie Corp
and building a business empire
Are two completely different things
Also
Letting your brother go to Shanghai
and be in charge of this project
I have my own reasons
Then why don't you tell him directly?
After what happened to his mother
He refuses to listen to me
He has a home he won't return to
He's even too lazy to talk to me
In his eyes
I'm just a selfish person
Who is willing to sacrifice his family's happiness
A cold man
I think some day
he will understand your hardship
When will that day come?
I'm almost 60
My health is getting worse
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day
The Empress regrets giving away first class
I guess it can be considered a good deed
I hope the old lady gets better
Hello
Can I ask are you Mr. Xie?
Hello, I'm your courier manager
You can leave your luggage with us
Here are your car keys
Thank you
Little Xi
Yang Xiao
So?
Did the flight go well?
Very well
Then let us...
What are you looking for?
Nothing, let's go
Let's go
Boss
That's great, you're full of energy
You even went home two days earlier than me
You really know how to relax We don't have time for greetings
There's bad news
What is it?
Did you know our negotiation department
has been split into group A and group B?
Is that it?
I've known for a long time
The company's workload has increased greatly
From now on there will be healthy competition
Isn't that a good thing?
A good thing?
While we were out of the country
Xaio Xiang took the opportunity to
pull all the talented people in the company to his side
All that's left
are company rookies
New graduates who don't know anything
What healthy competition is there?
You'll see
When the time comes
we'll only be crushed
Don't get so worked up
Xiao Xiang doing this kind of thing...
Isn't that normal for him?
Aren't they new employees?
They're blank pages to write on
Maybe with a few projects
They'll become strong soldiers
But the new recruits...
You'll see when you meet them later
Let's go
Hello manager Tong Hello
Hello manager Tong
You scared me to death!
What are you doing? Bumbling hands and feet
Really now, you made it dirty
Hello
This perfume
You have great taste!
Where did you buy this perfume?
Any place I'm familiar with?
Or something like it
Introduce it to me
What's your WeChat number?
Let's swipe it
Here, let's swipe
Jiang Ke!
That's enough
This is your boss
Boss?
You are...?
Hello, my name is Tong Wei
Oh my God!
The boss is both pretty and has good taste After this
how will I be able to work with ease?
Oh my God, oh my --
Is my face getting red?
This won't do, I have to calm down
Calm down!
Oh my God!
Lunatic
It's so big!
So pretty!
QiQi, listen to mother
At lunchtime
Go to the wanton shop at the intersection
Whose child is that?
Your's
That one house
Has the best tasting food
It's the wanton shop with the yellow sign
I know, mom
QiQi
Come here and let me introduce you
This is the person in charge of our group
Tong Wei
Hello, sis
You're QiQi's boss?
You're so pretty
and so young
Hello, boss
In our family, QiQi is the young one
She's just entering society
From now on
You'll have to take of her in the company
You don't have to worry
Boss
What are you doing for lunch?
Mom
If you're going out to eat
Then go to that wanton shop on the intersection
It's delicious!
You have to take QiQi along okay?
Watch over her Make sure she eats all of her wanton bowl
And you
All day long it's diet, diet
That won't do
Alright, alright
We still have work
You head home first
Go home, go home, mom
Then I'll go first
Goodbye, boss
Goodbye
Sis, then I'll get to work first
One moment
From now on...
Your mom isn't going to take you
to work every now is she?
There won't be a second time
Get to work
Our team members
have no experience to speak of
and don't work well
How can we work together in the future?
One person acts like a really close friend
The other is really childish
This is great
I'll go look for chief Zhou
See what she has to say
Okay
Chief Zhou
I'm came to report
You're finally back
How was it?
Did the trip to New York go well?
The results were great
We can begin the work
That's good
Here, take a seat first
That's right, Tong Wei
Right now our negotiation department is divided into two groups
Both you and old Xiao lead a team
You probably already know this
This I already know
But I still have a question
Tell me
Those two live treasures
How did you pass the interview?
and enter our company?
Seems like
You've met them
The negotiation business is very popular abroad
But little is known in China
concerning domestic negotiations
They're either a person from inside the company
that does the work
Or you find a lawyer
Business negotiators aren't popular
First is because everyone
has insufficient knowledge in this area
Secondly
There's not enough talent
I understand
What you mean is...
You want me to train the new people
But it seems...
They both have obstacles
even in an communication exchange
So then
I might disappoint you
Tong Wei
In our department who do you think is the most experienced negotiator?
Surely it's old Xiao
After all, his background is of a Sales Director of a big company
He's faced many business battles
That's right
But in my heart
The most talented negotiator in our division is you
Old Xiao has a lot of experience
But you are thoughtful
More adept
And you
You have the most valuable quality of a negotiator
Sincerity
Thank you chief Zhou for the praise
Now, I understand
Although now they have many problems
They're diamonds in the rough
Do you have any other problems
about the current staff arrangement?
There isn't
I will do my best to guide my people
Good
That's the kind of attitude I want to see
Go and prepare yourself
The conference will be in an hour
Okay, I'll go first
Tong Wei has returned
The trip to New York gave no small results
It seems in the time I wasn't here
you've also made a lot of progress
Chief Zhou
Thank you
Everyone take a seat
Recently, we've taken on more work
Let's make this brief
I'm guessing everyone has looked
at the files I sent you before?
I'll briefly explain
the contract this time
The company that's contracting us this time
Is the Xie Corp
Xie Corp is a company that's based completely in the US
Currently, they're preparing to open in the Chinese market
So they're looking for
a Chinese compnay
To use joint capital
to set up a joint venture
Our primary duty
Is to help them negotiate
this partnership
There's one matter
Xie Corp, from the figureheads to the shareholders
Are all Chinese
Why are they an entirely American invested company?
The founder of Xie Corp
Mr. Xie Zhennan
In the last century immigrated to the United States
After three generations of hard work
established Xie's business
in American hotels and tourism
Their acquired power cannot be underestimated
Chinese people to doing business
on American soil
Is not an easy task
That's right
That's why our company
attaches great importance to this case
At present
Xie Corp has targeted a potential partner
They are China's well known
real estate developer
Kewan
Kewan?
You've tried working with Kewan before
Many times
But with few successes
I heard
It's because of Kewan's president
Mr. Song is too hard to deal with
If they weren't difficult then they wouldn't seek out CAEA
That's right
What cheif Zhou says is correct
Our team B
will do our best this time
to quickly win over Kewan
Xie's case
Team A will followup
Tong Wei, there isn't a problem is there?
No problem
We will do our best
This is - chief Zhou
Xie Corp's case is such a big one
It's not really appropriate to give it to team A
Look
Our newly arrived friend here
has no social experience at all
I think
you should give it to our team B
for a guarantee
New people need practice
Actual combat will help newcomers grow faster
Xiao Xiang
Team A will charge in first
but your group B won't be idle
If help is needed
You have to offer timely support
Yes
Tong Wei
This is a very important case
for our company
You can only succeed, not fail
If you need any help
You'll have to ask teacher Xiao
Hopefully at that time teacher Xiao
Won't find fault with us
How could that be?
Then that's good
Soon
Xie's representive will be arriving in Shanghai
in two weeks
We have to work with them
to create a negotiation plan
Next week
We'll work together with Kewan's representative
to conduct the first discussions
This is the current timetable
Tong Wei
There aren't any problems are there?
No problem
We'll definitely do our best
Tong Wei
I didn't expect
I truly didn't expect it
I thought of it for a long time
Tong Wei is so cool
Beautiful and sturdy
with a strong aura
No one can compete
Tong Wei
I'll definitely follow you
In the future, I want to become someone like Tong Wei
You shouldn't celebrate too soon
We still have a hard battle to fight
With Tong Wei here, what's there to be afraid of?
Are you afraid?
What is there to be afraid of?
Manager Xiao
Chief Zhou giving such a big case
to this rookie group
What does she mean by it?
Chief Zhou
You don't need to come thank me
I've come to bow to you
Why do you say that?
Before
The reason you let Xiao Xiang
steal people away is because
When assigning tasks
he won't have anything to say, right?
Tong Wei, let me put it like this
If this case succeeds
Your attendance at the year end
International Negotiation Headquarters
annual meeting
is the logical outcome
But if you lose the case -
Don't worry
In this life
I don't know the meaning of failure
I don't worry about you
But your subordinates
You have to watch closely
Don't let them drag you down
I understand
White paper is easy to draw on
I'll do my best to let my team mature quickly
Good, then I'll depend on you
How's the information collecting going?
Almost
Tong Wei, take a look
All the information about Xie Corp on the net
I've gathered it all for you
Was that fast?
It's fast
But it's useless
Information you find on the web
others can also find
That's why these types of information
aren't of any use to a negotiator
We have to analyze the specific problem
For example
The associate Xie Corp sent this time
is Xie Xiaofei
So what's his background?
I found some background info on Xie Xiaofei
I've summarized it here
These isn't very useful either
I want more personal
information about Xie Xiaofei
For example
What kind of person is he?
His character, zodiac, blood type
What does he like to eat?
Even if he has a girlfriend or not
Does he like foreigners?
or does he prefer Chinese people?
I didn't expect
that Tong Wei likes gossip just like me
What I mean is...
If we investigate those kinds of things
don't we become entertainment reporters?
The first rule of a negotiator is to know a person like you know yourself
If you want to be a better negotiator
Then you must have the resolve
to track entertainment news
We have to do our best
to understand the person we cooperate with
and our opponent
That way, we can create
an effective negotiation plan
This is what you want to learn today
But...
Where are we going to find that information?
Where to find it is no longer my job
QiQi, Jiang Ke
This is your homework for today
Investigate as clear as possible
about this Xie Xiaofei person
Class dismissed
Hey, ShanShan
What are you doing?
I'm getting ready to leave work
After work I'll pick you up
You can't say no, it's decided I'm hanging up, bye bye
This ShanShan
So these two living treasures in our company
I'm truly out of ideas
It seems after I left CAEA
there's no one to inherit my position
Not only is there no one to inherit
Xiao Xiang likes targeting me
Didn't you say there was a club opening?
Where's the club?
Of course it's upstairs Why would it be exposed?
Let's go
And it's so mysterious
That's great
Chief Luo
You two talk
I'll see you later
Winter!
Hi chief Luo
James
Hello
Welcome
Please come in
Old Li
Long time no see
Have fun!
Hi, chief Luo
Come, come, come
You stay here and grab a drink first
I'm going to say hello to the boss
Go ahead
Long time no see, boss Luo
ShanShan
You look really beautiful today
Thank you, thank you
Your place here isn't so bad
I like it
You like it?
Hold on
Old Qi asked me to give this to you
He says
Master gave it to you to count
Thank you so much to your old Qi
When is he going to
take me to see the master?
I can't wait any longer
Master isn't some kind of financial adviser
You can't just see him when you want
Keeping counting this bracelet
After three months
Master will let you see him
It's degrees of prominence
If fate happens then you will naturally meet
Okay, then I will definitely count
Such a beautiful woman
Did you bring her for me?
Screw you
That's my good friend, Tong Wei
I'm warning you
You're not allowed to hit on her
Why's that?
Is she married?
But...
Even if you did hit on her, it's useless
She's a negotiator at CAEA
Compared to your usual girlfriends
they're a galaxy apart
You can't control her
Alright then
So tell me
I don't know what you modern women are thinking
You obviously don't have to exert yourself so much
But you do
Causing us men to be uselessly adrift
Alright
I'm going to pick up a friend from New York
You and your friend have fun
Go do what you have to
Okay
You know I've been in China for ten years
I've never seen a girl as pretty as you
Thank you, excuse me
I'll be honest
In my opinion
Japanese girls are the most charming
and the better dressed
For sure
Pardon?
Are you French?
Another person wants to make friends with you
It's so noisy here
I want to go home
You just got here
I have an important meeting tomorrow
I want to head home to rest up
I see
Look at everyone here
They're not as good as our old Qi
I'll go with you
Let's go
So noisy, it's giving me a headache
This place is really a little noisy
It's my first time coming here
What do you say? Opening a restaurant in a place like this
It certainly can't be just for money
Opening a restaurant here It's to let your colleagues
have a place to gather and chat
This place has a membership system
You have to swipe a card to get in
Where'd you get your card?
Of course old Qi gave it to me
Old Qi is the boss of this place
He's a good friend
From now on, for place like this
Let old Qi come with you
Don't call me
He's on a business trip
You're just the spare tire anyways
Don't be so serious
Okay, okay, okay
When are you two getting married?
I don't expect to get married
Old Qi has been divorced for so long
I'm guessing has no
interest in something big
Registration is still required
He's busy
Let some time pass and we'll see
You're certain it's only because he's busy?
What do you mean?
I should remind you
Last week I saw old Qi
with his ex-wife
Even though they're divorced
They're still colleagues
They meet customers together
and discuss business
It's very normal, very normal
I believe, I believe, I believe
What's that look for? What's that look for?
Let me tell you
Old Qi's divorce papers are still at my place
Do you not want to see me to live well?
Do you like my old Qi?
What are you doing?
Didn't you see the car coming?
