[Episode 21]
How far is this place from the mining area?
Not far.
Then, let's see when we arrive at the mine.
Okay.
Careful.
There are dust flying all over this place.
Thank you.
You're Chinese?
My mom donated a primary school to the village around the mine area.
These kids basically all know some simple Chinese.
My mom often says that this world changes too quickly.
Maybe in the future, all the jobs in the mine will be replaced by machines.
Then, we won't ever need mine workers again.
So, the children should read and learn more so that they can choose their own path in life.
What does a mine village mean?
It's pretty far from the city here.
Over time, the small villages around here came together to form a new mine village.
Most of the youths in the mine area work here.
But if this mine can't produce more good materials,
it might be sold off.
Then, would all of these mine workers lose their jobs?
It's okay if it is a consortium or a financial group. But, if it is a big mine owner, he will have his own miners.
He will not use his own money to support so many extra workers.
The world of wealthy people is too cruel.
Before, I heard that if you want to buy good rough stone, you must pass by the Hu family's mine.
That is because the fame of the Hu family's mine has spread far and wide.
Transformation will definitely bring changes. But, I believe that with Madam Hu being so daring,
she wouldn't treat her workers unfairly, right?
A few years ago, there were mountain flash floods. All the villages here were drowned.
My mom called them over and taught them how to operate machines.
They worked as miners to support themselves.
I really can't imagine how they'll live once they leave this place.
I hope that the new mine owner will keep them.
What's that in front?
In front of us is an abandoned mine for nothing can be found.
Can we go take a look?
We can. Let's go.
This is a mine branch that's being sampled lately.
From the number of sighs my mom made these two days, I think its mission will be terminated soon.
This mine will probably be sold off.
Before he passed away, my grandfather said that he'd leave half of himself here.
Even though Pagan isn't his ancestral home,
he is grateful for the support and care he'd received from it.
Ten years ago, my mom and I
scattered my grandfather's ashes here.
I can't bear to leave this place.
I think that you don't need to be so sad about it.
Who knows? The situation might change for the better. Besides, Zhuang Rui's here.
Who knows? Maybe he can help. Isn't that right, Zhuang Rui?
Who knows? The situation might change for the better.
The rock that Little Yun is holding right now has jadeite in it.
Do you know what this means?
Stuffed pancakes are falling from the sky.
Then this is...
Don't keep us guessing anymore.
This is a piece of jadeite from the old-crater mine.
Old crater jadeite are mineral deposits from its original bed
being transported by flowing water to a certain location. After a period of time of sorting,
they finally turn into an outstanding piece of jadeite.
This type of jadeite normally appears in large quantities.
Which is to say, there isn't just one piece of this type of rock.
Say the main point.
The main point is, the Hu family's mine
still has a large amount of outstanding material to source from.
Really? Then our family's mine can still be saved?
You are speaking without evidence. Do you have any evidence?
This... This is just my personal speculation.
My mom and Old Zhou have already searched all over the mine area
and they haven't found any new sources to mine.
I think maybe it's that we thought about it too simply.
Boss Hu has so many professional exploration groups so we probably don't need to spend our energy on this, right?
If Xiao Rui says there is jadeite, I think there definitely is.
Since there is a possibility that the new mine source exists, why is there a hurry to deny it? This is a good thing.
Xiao Fei, I feel that lately, your thought process and awareness has increased a lot.
But I think that Peng Fei's right.
Finding a new mine source is very important to the Hu family.
Even if there's only a 1 in 10 thousand chance, it's still worth trying.
If our mine still has jade in it, my mom definitely won't sell it.
Some rumors circulated recently from unknown sources
saying that the early exploration of our mines have been completed,
but no jade were found, hence, it has become an unusable mine.
Even if we sold it, the losses would be huge.
Wen Wen, why don't you discuss it with your mom and tell her our opinions?
Maybe,
there's still a chance.
We are going to sign the contract on the day after next. I hope you will abide by the agreement.
Okay. As long as you settle the matter well, I will not go back on my words.
Wen Wen already told me about it.
You can talk to me directly about it.
I will highly value your opinions.
Miss Hu is paying a lot of attention to and cares a lot about this matter.
Yes. She's my daughter after all.
I'm very glad that she's so sensible.
But, I've already decided about this matter.
In two days, I'll sign a contract to have the mine change hands.
In two days? That rushed?
This mine has been dragging on for too long.
This time, the reasons I spent such a high bidding price to buy stone 303 were,
firstly, I want to prove to everyone that
our Hu family has the capabilities.
Secondly, I really can't afford to lose anymore.
I'd rather lose a little profit to procure a guarantee.
Aunt Hu.
Here, sit.
I know. Some things,
I shouldn't say to you nor to anyone.
But, Little Zhuang, I trust my judgment.
I've bet on stones for half my life without losing. I've also never lost in betting on people.
I trust that you're a good kid.
You're really looking out for us, that's why, I'm saying these things to you.
Right now, if we shift the ownership of this mine,
our position in the industry is still stable,
and then we can search for new developments.
Worst case scenario, we will be like Old Qin,
buying rough stones before processing and selling them.
Old Zhou's newest analysis results are out.
The mine supply line broke off. There isn't even a shadow of jadeite.
In the past, we wasted too much manpower and resources.
For the sake of the Hu family, I can't let it drag on any further.
I also hope that we are able to find a new mine vein. But, Little Zhuang,
for just a few words from you, I can't
bet everything that my Hu family has.
I understand.
Then,
why don't we collaborate?
We'll bear the risks together and distribute the profits proportionately.
Little Zhuang, do you know that
even Old Qin doesn't dare to speak up about collaborating with me?
It's really because I think that it's a sacred land.
But, I also don't know how to express my feelings.
I am reckless.
If I've said anything that's out-of-line, please forgive me.
You're really interested in this mine source?
Even though I've never had any contact with mine sources before,
I do still have some confidence in bidding for stones.
I believe that there are similarities with bambling stones and gambling on mines.
The mine source as a whole is like a raw stone.
How to cut it, where to cut it, whether to cut it deep or thin,
and even who cuts the stone all directly influences the value of the raw stone.
Of course, luck also plays a part.
In everything, there's no absolute.
But, I still hope that you'll consider it.
Then, how confident are you?
60%.
60%?
Little Brother, you are making a risky chess move.
High risk comes with high returns.
As for whether to bet or not,
it depends on you.
One month.
I'll give you a month's time to find a new mine source.
I'll give you 1/4 of the the profits of the first batch.
That much?
If this matter succeeds, I'll stick to my word.
Okay.
Oh, right. I think that there's something that you should know about.
Tell me.
You guys went to the mine area again?
You've played there for so many years and you're still not tired of it?
In any case, grandfather's ashes are still on that mountain.
The mine mountain is about to be sold.
I want to go over there and bid farewell.
Uncle Zhou, don't you think that my mom was too rash about this decision?
The primary phase of exploration of some mines are rather long.
I think that we can try again.
I've also tried persuading her. It's no use.
It hasn't produced rough stones for so long.
There are rumors in the market that
if we don't let go soon, it'll get difficult.
But Brother Zhuang Rui thinks that our mine still can be saved.
I also think so.
I hope that he can convince my mom.
Little Zhuang? What did he discover?
Uncle Zhou, can I ask you a question?
From the initial extraction of the samples of our family's mines to the testing,
you alone were responsible for it.
Did you ever feel that something is not quite right?
What?
A rough stone sample was thrown away?
Look.
This raw stone has very obvious signs of people cutting it.
Furthermore, the marking on it is the same as that of the test lab.
We picked this stone from the entrance of Kachin Hills.
The Test Lab is more than 10 km from the entrance to Kachin Hills.
To say that it was accidentally dropped,
isn't that a bit far-fetched?
What do you mean?
This stone's size isn't large, the sliced opening is new,
and it showed purple after being wiped.
People with common sense, based on their own judgment, will know that
this is a piece of purple jadeite of outstanding quality.
A piece of top quality purple jadeite being mined from your mine
is an extremely good news.
Why didn't anyone report it and instead threw it away?
Someone doesn't want me to know the truth.
This rough stone sample came from the Test Lab.
It can't be Old Zhou.
One does not suspect the person he uses.
That year, when our Hu family clan was in difficulties,
it was Old Zhou who helped raise money for us to overcome those difficulties.
A few of our mine veins were discovered by him.
I've already told you earlier.
I've never lost at bidding on people or stones.
Then what about other people?
I'll go investigate right now.
You guys found a raw stone sample?
Uncle Zhou, don't get anxious first.
If someone really did this, my mom would definitely find him.
Then is the raw stone sample with you? Can I take a look at it?
Now, it should be with my mom.
If the original stone sample is indeed from the test lab,
it's because I didn't supervise well and gave someone a chance to take advantage.
I've wronged Chairman Hu.
Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, how can this be blamed on you?
Someone must be deliberately making things hard on us.
Once we find him, we definitely won't be nice to him.
Right. I have to go back now and check the safe in the lab.
- Wen Wen, can you help me a bit? - Okay.
Let's go.
It's me. About the contract,
temporarily delay it. Wait for my news.
What do you mean? You can't find Wen Wen?
- Quickly go find her. - Yes.
What's wrong with Hu Wen?
Miss has disappeared. Her bed hasn't been touched.
The guards didn't see her go out, either.
But, we just can't find her.
Don't worry. She probably only went out for a stroll. She'll come back soon.
- Go look again. - Okay.
Let my daughter go.
If you dare to hurt Wen Wen, I definitely won't let you off.
As for other things, I'm willing to discuss them.
Aunt Hu, what's going on?
Wen Wen is in their hands.
Them? Who are they?
Bo Gang. This person
is on good terms with both the police and the triads. It is very difficult to handle him.
Do you have a personal feud with each other?
He is the buyer of my mine.
We got to know each other through...
It was Old Zhou who acted as our go-between.
Go, call Old Zhou for me!
Mr. Zhou didn't come to work today,
but his assistant did come.
You were right.
There's fishy business going on in the mines.
Aunt Hu, let's report to the police first.
No. These people are very violent. It'll only hurt Wen Wen.
Bo Gang just wants to use the contract and have me exchange it for Wen Wen.
Old Zhou is their spy.
Then, what should we do now?
Bo Gang has arranged for me to meet him for negotiation in the casino tomorrow.
Does this Bo Gang keep his word?
What if after you gave him the contract tomorrow, he turns his back on you?
Who's going to ensure Wen Wen's safety?
Me.
I can.
Do we really need to dress like this?
We need it to create the character.
Come. Do this pose.
Pose.
Make it more seductive.
Do some more.
Feifei, I realize that you are very flexible.
You're able to pretend to be pure, but can also act as a seductress.
You have many paths that you can act. Not bad.
Fine. Fine. What else should we do now?
Oh, right. Why are you just standing here? Quickly go over there.
Why?
Audition.
No, say, are you two leaving such a wide gap in between for me to go in?
That's more like it.
You are standing so straight. Are you worried that other people would not know that you are on the side of justice?
Lovers! Lovers, do you understand? Can you be more intimate?
Closer!
Not bad. But Feifei, can you put your arm on Xiao Rui's arm?
Move aside.
Look at me.
Do you get it?
If you're so capable, why don't you do it?
If I do it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle it.
Okay. OKay. We don't have time to play with you. Quickly tell us your plan.
- It's been so long! - Details.
The most important things are the details.
Didn't Bo Gang already say that he will release her immediately after the negotiation, so that Boss Hu can bring her back?
So I think that Hu Wen is definitely being kept in the casino.
So you guys have to hurry up and save her.
Dress up as Chinese gamblers.
The hedonistic son of rich parents matched with the sexy wild cat, perfect!
While we're going in to save her, what are you doing?
That's right.
I am only in-charge of planning.
Remain outside to give us support then.
Perfect!
The first floor of the casino is where the gambling takes place.
The second floor is the VIP lounge, according to the info that Chairman Hu obtained,
there are several rooms in the basement. They are used to hold gamblers who owe debts. So,
Hu Wen most likely is being held there.
That should be the door leading to basement level 1, right?
Bo Gang has rigorous schemes and deep foresight, so he will definitely send someone to watch over Hu Wen.
And this person is Bo Gang's most trusted subordinate, Kun Sha.
I'm begging you. Be obedient and eat some.
If you die from hunger here,
how will we negotiate with your mom?
And the best way to attract Kun Sha's attention is to gamble.
Zhuang Rui is in-charge of diverting Kun Sha's attention.
Feifei, after Kun Sha is distracted, you have to remember
that you must quickly implement the rescue operation at basement level 1.
And Chairman Hu will go with the original plan of negotiating with Bo Gang to ensure that there's enough time
for us to enact the rescue plan.
Old Zhou, what exactly did I do to offend you
that you did something like this to me?
Wouldn't you consider even a bit of our old friendship?
Old friendship?
Lady Hu, isn't the old friendship between us
built on benefits, too?
After all these years, I did quite a lot for the Hu family.
But what I got, I think, isn't really enough.
The pursuit of profits draws people together under Heaven.
You have been in the business world for so long.
You surely can understand such a simple principle, right?
Breaking faith and abandoning what is right,
yet you are still speaking so eloquently.
It is not wrong to talk about profits in doing business.
But you have to be a human first, right?
You watched Wen Wen grow up.
She's been calling you "Uncle" for the past 20 years. Don't you feel ashamed?
- But— - Stop!
Those don't seem to be the topic we're supposed to discuss today.
Lady Hu, you've always been energetic and resolute with your actions.
Who doesn't know this in our business?
At this stage, you're still making a big fuss about these things.
You think there's still a point?
I suggest that you
quickly sign the contract
and bring your precious daughter home. As for the personal grudges between the two of you,
it won't be too late to slowly resolve those.
Quietly stay here for a few hours.
As soon as the contract is signed, I'll let you go.
If you insist on going against me,
I really can't bear to scratch you beautiful round face.
What is it? Speak.
Hello, Boss? There is a guest here who has already won six rounds.
No, Boss, it should be seven rounds.
Is he cheating?
We did not discover anything.
Okay. I'll go there immediately.
I suggest that you eat something.
It's already been half an hour, how come they're not out yet?
Don't worry. Have patience.
How am I supposed to be patient? This isn't any regular place.
They haven't received professional training like you. What if they get found out?
Let me go look.
Okay. You have to be careful.
- You, too. - Right.
Don't move!
- Why are you here? - Xiao Yun asked me to come over.
- Feifei! - Feifei, while they still haven't noticed anything,
quickly take Miss Hu and leave.
Lady Hu, both our mines share the same origins.
If you give me your mine,
I'd have the complete mountain.
It's only a few pages. Do you really have to look at them for so long?
Mr. Bo Gang, I am a businesswoman.
I have to closely read through every condition
to avoid my profits from suffering.
Contract? The contract is just a process.
When did we ever use a contract when we did business?
Stop wasting time.
Don't forget. Your daughter is still in my hands.
Boss, I think there's something wrong.
Hu Rong loves her daughter very much.
To exchange the jade mine for her daughter,
she wouldn't need to consider it for so long at all.
She keeps going back and forth with the contract repeatedly.
Is she delaying time?
Hello? Understand.
Seal all the doors! No one is allowed to leave!
Young fellow, wait for me!
Seal all the doors! Do not allow anyone to leave!
Don't let everyone go out.
