Never Say Never
Episode 26
You’re back.
Our poppy plantation
you still have to take care of it.
Although half of our business has been paused,
But the land has to be managed.
If the new product doesn't work,
Our plantation
should be kept running.
I got it, I'll go tomorrow.
About the new product,
should I looking for anyone else to take over?
No need.
Tao is on it.
Got it.
Tao, what’s up?
I’m taking you somewhere.
All right.
Tao, you going out?
Yanguang,
What's the matter, Qiang?
Where have they gone?
How do I know.
You know nothing.
You're here all day long,
idling around or something?
Follow them.
But Qiang,
that’s Tao.
The boss doesn’t assign me.
How dare I to follow.
You're a loser.
Go ahead and play.
I...
Where are we, Tao?
The professor will be here tomorrow.
Mr. Ma has arranged this place for him.
You need to pick him up at the border.
The professor is arriving so soon.
At this place,
since there's no big business,
we need to work on our new product.
All right.
Take a look at this place.
Tidy up here.
See if he needs more necessities.
And
keep it between you and me.
You can rest assured.
Let’s go.
Come in.
Boss, what’s the matter?
Go talk to Gu Kun.
Tao’s goods you took back last time,
I want to use his route.
You go and tell him first.
Okay, I’m going.
Wait, wait.
There's one more thing.
Gu Kun and Du Shandi
have been checking on my new product recently.
I don't like it.
You mean...
Qiang, this way, please.
Kun.
Please.
Mr. Gu.
Qiang.
What brings you here?
The boss asked me to come over,
asking about business.
Take a seat.
If Ma doesn't arrange for you to come,
you're not going to come and visit me.
Mr. Gu, you're very busy.
If you don’t have time for me,
how could I disturb you.
Don’t flatter me, Qiang.
By the way,
What does Ma want?
Gu Tao has some goods.
He wants ship through the Golden Triangle.
He wants to know if it’s convenient for you.
Shipping?
As long as it's profitable,
I'll be at your service any time.
Qiang,
you've been running errands for Gu Tao recently.
Don't mention it.
Well, then, I won’t.
About the shipment,
my guys will arrange it.
Just go talk to Dan.
Alright.
My mission is done.
I got to go back.
Qiang,
You don’t come often.
Have a cup of tea.
All right.
You've been busy lately.
It's hard, isn't it?
I’m not busy at all.
All I do is running errands.
Qiang,
you're the most capable man
of Mr. Ma.
Why you make such a complaint?
What's wrong?
Since Gu Tao brought Fang Mo to this place,
I almost lost my place.
What the hell!
Ma and Tao
have been friends since they were little.
You know that.
As for Fang Mo,
why do you think Ma trusts him so much?
You think so, right?
It won’t take long
before he takes over
the things that I’m in charge of.
If I go broke one day,
please spare me some food, Mr. Gu.
Qiang, you're just kidding.
You're welcome here at any time.
Whenever you are free.
Just come and talk to me.
Have a cup of tea.
If you feel upset,
tell me.
Or if you have any trouble,
tell me too.
What are you doing?
Who do you think I am?
I don’t need this small amount of money.
But if you want to talk about big deals,
I’m more than happy
to talk with you.
Big deals?
Tell me about it.
Every time you ships
the goods for boss and Gu Tao,
how much do you get?
Normally, 20 percent.
-20 percent. -Not much.
But now you're losing it, too.
what do you mean?
Half of Ma Sijie’s plantation
has been paused.
Did you hear about it?
Yeah I did.
I'm thinking about it.
If he stops planting,
then how will he deliver the goods?
The thing about planting is
costly and time-consuming.
It depends on the weather.
And every time we deliver it,
we have to worry about the inspection.
That's why the money we made,
is hard-earned money.
That's the truth.
So,
what does Ma plan to do?
New product.
New product?
Purely chemical synthesis.
Don't need laborious planting.
Just a bunch of assistants.
They can make as many as they want.
And they're going to develop it.
Make it possible to avoid inspection.
Think about it.
If something like this is created,
will your route be useful?
That’s the new product they are creating.
I got it now.
Two days ago,
I asked Gu Tao about it.
He denied me at once.
You want a share or something?
Why not?
It’s impossible.
Think about it.
Once they created it,
in Kangbang and even the whole Golden Triangle,
it will be the best.
Such a nice thing,
do you think he’s willing to share?
Since it’s so good,
once it’s created,
you're going to make a lot of money.
Qiang,
why did you share such good news
with me?
See,
I knew you were going to ask.
Gu Tao is in charge of it .
Is Gu Tao that good?
Of course not.
But he knows someone.
They say this guy is coming to Kangbang.
My boss has left it
fully in the charge of Fang Mo.
When they make a lot of money,
it gets nothing to do with me.
Qiang,
what are you going to do?
I don't like new things, I prefer the old one.
You see,
if there is no one who makes new product,
or no Fang Mo,
everything stays the same in Kangbang.
I'm still Ma Sijie’s right-hand man.
And you still get your 20 percent.
Isn't that good?
Yes, it is.
I understand what you mean, Qiang.
All right, I've been sitting here long enough today.
I'll leave you alone.
Alright, Qiang, take care.
Feel free to come here for a cup of tea.
All right.
Uncle Du.
You’ve heard
what the guy said.
I was wondering why Dun Nuo wants to raise 10 percent price.
He agreed in a heartbeat.
Ma Sijie has huge ambition.
If he really creates the new products,
not only will Hu Qiang loses his place,
your business will be ruined.
Even I
have no choice but to pack up
and leave.
What shall we do then?
Hu Qiang is right.
We must stop him
before the new product comes out.
The best way is…
Boss,
I’ve done the assignment and sent the message.
As for the details of shipment,
Mr. Gu asked Tao to have a word with Dan,
still 20 percent.
Got it.
So when will Tao go?
I need to tell Mr. Gu.
No hurry.
Tao is going out for business tomorrow.
When he’s free,
they will meet.
If there's nothing else, I’ll go.
Professor, hasn't seen you for a long time.
How's Mr. Gu?
Don't worry, Tao is waiting for us.
My car is over there, let's go.
Let's go, Professor.
Tao.
Mr. Gu.
Finally!
How's your trip?
Good, good.
I got a call from you and I rushed here.
As you requested,
I transferred a few times before I arrived in Kangbang.
It was a rough ride.
My waist hurts.
We had a narrow escape.
This is nothing.
You are right.
Now I feel relieved.
Let’s continue making our new products.
I’ll show you around.
Mr. Gu.
This place
is so much nicer
than the place in Canglan.
This is my partner's place.
There used to be a guy
doing his research here.
But it never worked.
So we need you here.
We have everything ready,
except you.
Many things here are ready-made.
Fang Mo has prepared some for you, too.
The things you use often.
Anyway, take a look.
If you need anything,
just tell Fang Mo.
Professor,
this time we can only succeed.
Don’t fail.
You can rest assured.
We will make it.
Have a good rest.
Get ready in two days.
I will introduce my partner to you.
You can tell him about your research results.
No problem.
It’s just…
-Before... -I know.
Relax.
It’s like the old days.
Just say what you have to say.
I won't eat you.
All right, I see.
I'll prepare it.
Rest well.
We gotta go, Professor.
I'll see you off.
Tao, you're back.
You going out?
Buy something.
Tao.
I have no assignments now.
I didn't get a chance to walk around in Kangbang.
I'll go with him.
Since you’re free today,
show him around.
Alright.
Let's go.
Brother, what’s up?
Hu Qiang came yesterday.
He said Gu Tao has some goods to be delivered lately.
Soon
they will send someone to contact you.
All right.
As usual,
this time,
I don't want the shipment goes smoothly.
So you are saying…
If they send someone to contact you.
I see.
Yanguang, you go ahead.
I'll have a chat with my friend.
Okay, Mo.
Ba, why are you here?
I'm here for you.
They said you were not here.
I’m waiting for you.
What's the matter?
Looks mysterious.
Are you going to meet
Gu Kun's subordinate, Dan?
Dan? I haven't heard of him.
I heard Mr. Gu talked to Dan today.
They are shipping some goods.
I'm afraid it's not good for you.
Be careful.
How come I don't know?
Why would Dan do bad things to me?
I don't know much about it.
That's all I heard.
I heard your name.
Just be careful.
All right, I see.
That's it?
Yes.
Thanks.
You come all the way.
I’m leaving. Take care.
Tao, what’s the matter?
I need to tell you something.
The goods we took from Guo Lao
will be shipped by Gu Kun.
Go there tomorrow.
Talk to his subordinate Dan
about the details.
To the mainland?
No.
Tao,
is Gu Kun a reliable person?
You’ve seen on the way to Guo Lao’s.
The situation in the Golden Triangle
is not much better than that at home.
People from mainland are afraid of cops,
people here are afraid of banditry.
Gu Kun still has some influence here.
He has been shipping for so long.
And this time,
he promised to get only 20 percent of profits.
It’s like spending money for reassurance.
What’s important is,
I need to know his ins and outs.
Did Ma
talked to Gu Kun in person?
No.
He sent Hu Qiang.
Okay, I see.
Tao,
tomorrow,
let me go with Yanguang.
Because I'm not familiar with the place.
All right, go with him.
Go back.
All right.
What? Switch place?
It’s too remote.
Well, you can rest assured.
I can find it.
See you later.
What's the matter?
I heard there’s something happening at Gu Kun's home today.
It’s not convenient for us to visit.
So they changed the place temporarily.
Yankuang, do you know Dan?
I've seen him a few times, but not familiar.
How important is he
at Gu Kun’s place?
Kinda like the core.
About the same as Qiang.
There's a story about this man.
What is it?
His real name isn’t Dan.
Dan is his nickname
You might think he looks clean,
but he’s a fierce fighter.
Once he had a fight with someone,
his jawbone got stabbed.
His tongue was pricked.
Everything he eats gets tasteless.
So people call him Dan.
You'll see later.
I thought this guy
is easy to get along with.
He turns out to be tough.
Let’s go.
Hello, Dan.
Your boss
sent you here for business?
Not me, I'm with Mo.
Mo?
Anyone can be called brother now, huh?
You are Dan, right?
I have just come from mainland with Tao.
My name is Fang Mo
What is wrong with your boss?
Such a big deal.
How can he sent some stray cat
to negotiate with me?
Let's get down to business.
The terms have been settled by our bosses.
There shouldn’t be a problem.
Just tell me,
when and where,
how do I deliver the goods,
and how do we follow?
Here, tomorrow.
You bring the goods.
Pay half of the money first.
Leave the rest to me.
Pay the other half when the goods arrive.
Then how many people do you need from us?
No one.
It's up to me to ship the goods.
I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
What's wrong?
How much do you have?
You think I’m gonna eat it?
I can't decide.
I'll go back and ask my boss.
Will you bring someone who can do the job?
Don't waste my time here.
What about the money?
Is it still 20 percent
as Mr. Gu promised?
50 percent.
50 percent?
I don’t think that’s the deal
our bosses have reached.
You know nothing.
How would I not know
about their deal?
I have never taken 20 percent
as delivery fee.
Look at yourself.
Are you trying to take some advantage?
It seems
the deal is not negotiable today.
Let's go.
Where are you going?
What now?
Would you like to invite me for dinner, Dan?
Dinner.
You really think it's a place
you can come and go as you will?
Guys,
teach them a lesson.
Yanguang, you go
Go!
Come on.
Let go, let go.
Back off, back off.
Let go, let go.
Back off.
Let go.
You alright, brother?
Kill him!
Chop him dead!
Stop!
Don't run!
Stop!
Don't run, Don't run!
Stop, don’t run!
Qiang.
Yanguang.
What's the matter, Qiang?
Nothing.
Ma.
What's going on? Who did it?
We went to talk about the shipment with Dan.
At the beginning,
this guy were giving us a hard time.
He said we couldn’t follow,
and we need to pay deposit.
At the end he said he would take 50 percent.
I thought it wouldn’t work that way.
So I took Yanguang and ran.
Who would know they ambushed us.
They want us to stay.
Did you get hurt?
I'm fine.
The bloodstain here is from Dan.
Ma,
didn’t Qiang and Gu Kun
make a deal?
Let me ask.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Mo has been protecting me. He’s well-trained.
Gu Kun can’t even keep his promise.
Let me talk to him.
Tao,
since they are back safe,
judging from Gu Kun's personality,
he will certainly give me a reason.
Ma, what kind of reason?
Dozens of people were beating them.
It is not too late for a gentleman to avenge.
Can’t you wait just for two days?
Tao, we're fine.
And
we still have to work with them.
It's okay.
Ba has already
told you about it.
Yes.
At that time,
I don't know about the shipment yet.
I haven't even heard of Dan.
So I didn't take it seriously.
Now it seems
he is right.
Ba worked for Jin Lanlan.
And Jin Lanlan relays on Gu Kun.
If Gu Kun wants to hurt us,
there’s no reason for him to tell us.
Maybe what he said last time was true.
Because I saved his life.
But there's one thing I don’t understand.
Why Gu Kun wants to kill me?
Jin Lanlan’s deal
is introduced by us.
We make deals with him now, too
It just doesn’t make sense.
There must be something more profitable
behind our deal,
forcing him to do so.
Let’s see how he handles
the issue with Dan.
Since he is willing to help you,
you might as well be closer with him.
It's definitely in our favor
if we have a supporter from Gu Kun’s side.
All right.
I got it, Tao.
Tao,
If it's all right,
I'll go shower, I can’t stand it.
Hurry.
Give it to me.
That’s good.
What’s the secret? Teach me.
Miss Jin.
Everyone has a long day. Go rest now.
How long have you followed the Division Commander?
Half a year.
Who taught you shooting?
When I was in the Golden Triangle,
I calibrated guns.
It seems that we are in the same business.
Doesn’t look like it.
Just kidding.
Did Division Commander made
all the guns here?
No.
They’re all coming in from the Golden Triangle.
We don’t produce guns in the barracks.
So many people at such high cost.
Do you have to pay for all these?
I don't know much about that.
Don't be serious, let’s talk.
I’m not good at talking.
I just shoot.
Ba,
If we get this done,
we will find our place here.
We don’t have to care what other people think anymore.
What's up, Lan?
You'll know by then.
Miss Jin.
Now you are the Division Commander’s guest.
It's hard to see you even once.
If I take care of the Division Commander,
it’s good for your business, isn’t it?
In that way,
I need to thank you, Miss Jin.
I’ve been practicing shooting recently.
It occurs to me,
he has hundreds of people.
But the guns and ammunition they use
are all shipped from the other side of the mountain.
Why doesn't he make guns himself?
He took so much from us,
he’s living a fancy life.
Why would he make guns?
How about we do it?
What do you have in mind, Miss Jin?
My godmother started the business.
Then I took over it.
We've been doing illegal dealings.
It's hard-earned money.
But you know the cost of the pistol
is only a few hundred yuan.
We can sell it at over 10 times of the price in the black market.
It’s very profitable.
I thought about it before.
But guns
are not be made at will.
Of course I’ve thought about these problems.
But now the investigation is stricter.
My godmother contacted you before,
because
our supplier was confiscated.
He was the biggest arms dealer in the northwest.
He has his own factory for munitions manufacture.
But even he was taken down.
He is nowhere to be saw now.
What does that have to do with us?
All I’m saying is
even his big business was closed down.
It won’t be easy for the other dealers.
It is impossible to
make munitions in mainland.
So I'd like to reach out.
See if we can
purchase some equipment,
and if there's anyone
willing to work for us.
The Division Commander will be our biggest client.
And if we hire some technicians,
people who want to do business with you,
will be lining up
all the way to Canglan.
What are you afraid of?
According to you,
it's quite like that.
It’s settled.
When you get in touch with them,
let's talk about it in details.
Lan, Mr. Gu,
Dan had an accident.
What's wrong?
Gu Tao's hand Fang Mo
cut off his hamstring.
Such a tough guy.
I didn't see it.
In Canglan he is known for his fighting skills.
I've fought him before.
A few people can’t get near him.
How’s Dan?
In the hospital.
Mr. Gu, I’ll be outside.
All right.
We can’t mess with Gu Tao.
He last arrived in Canglan, but he has the most power.
Tough people in Canglan were all killed by him.
I know more about Gu Tao than you.
And Ma Sijie.
Compared with Gu Tao,
Ma Sijie is even worse than him.
I know
how to handle it.
What is the relationship between them?
If anything happens to Gu Tao,
will Ma Sijie bail him out?
Their relationship is unusual.
No one knows for sure.
I've been hanging out in bars since I was a kid.
All I know is
relationships are made from money.
Theirs may be an exception.
What’s up, boss?
Are you unhappy
because of Tao’s back?
I’m not.
You know me well.
I do everything for the village.
I can still tell friends from enemies.
I won’t allow anything wrong happened.
