(Café Bakery Franchise Cakebean Sale Proposal)
7
00:00:31,603 --> 00:00:32,704
Well...
8
00:00:33,874 --> 00:00:36,173
For selling a franchise,
9
00:00:36,514 --> 00:00:39,943
there would've been many other accounting firms for the job. Why...
10
00:00:39,944 --> 00:00:41,484
I wanted to take care of it quickly.
11
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:45,723
An object that no longer has any use is only trash if you hold onto it.
12

(Café Bakery Franchise Cakebean Sale Proposal)
13
00:00:47,954 --> 00:00:49,323
Taeil Accounting seems to be...
14
00:00:50,393 --> 00:00:52,794
the best at dealing with this kind of matter.
15
00:00:55,594 --> 00:00:57,493
If you can sell it sooner than my expectations,
16
00:00:58,704 --> 00:01:00,103
I'll pay you double your fees.
17
00:01:09,014 --> 00:01:10,544
I want to sell it quickly,
18
00:01:12,044 --> 00:01:13,984
and you want to make money quickly.
19
00:01:16,053 --> 00:01:17,313
Is that so?
20
00:01:21,423 --> 00:01:23,723
I mean, no one in this room will face losses.
21
00:01:30,893 --> 00:01:34,934
(Taeil Accounting)
22
00:02:15,574 --> 00:02:16,814
Yes, it's me.
23
00:02:17,914 --> 00:02:19,044
Han Je Kyun.
24
00:02:20,444 --> 00:02:22,083
(Episode 6)
25
00:02:30,553 --> 00:02:32,362
There is something I must let you all know...
26
00:02:32,363 --> 00:02:34,164
before the Cakebean Sale presentation.
27
00:02:34,264 --> 00:02:35,794
Will you take a look at the material I gave you?
28
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,504
Can a patient with a cardiovascular disease drink coffee?
29
00:02:48,314 --> 00:02:49,574
You're acting so rashly.
30
00:02:50,673 --> 00:02:52,213
How rude of you.
31
00:02:53,143 --> 00:02:55,112
You sure don't have any manners whatsoever.
32
00:02:55,113 --> 00:02:56,883
You've gotten even more handsome since the last time we met.
33
00:02:56,884 --> 00:03:00,254
And Ms. An, you've gotten braver since we last met.
34
00:03:00,754 --> 00:03:01,794
What happened?
35
00:03:02,093 --> 00:03:03,522
You started a fight with VP Han Je Kyun,
36
00:03:03,523 --> 00:03:04,963
a guy you don't even like to talk to.
37
00:03:05,164 --> 00:03:06,393
He made me angry...
38
00:03:06,824 --> 00:03:08,933
with how he treated my precious kids.
39
00:03:09,164 --> 00:03:11,234
I'm envious of the audit department.
40
00:03:11,634 --> 00:03:13,303
Should I transfer teams too?
41
00:03:13,363 --> 00:03:16,333
VP Han started this fight, not me.
42
00:03:18,403 --> 00:03:20,473
You must see through what you see on the outside...
43
00:03:20,474 --> 00:03:24,272
and into the hidden cause of someone's actions.
44
00:03:24,273 --> 00:03:26,742
That's how you see someone's true nature and the bigger picture.
45
00:03:26,743 --> 00:03:29,354
Didn't I tell you this over and over ever since you were a new staff?
46
00:03:29,514 --> 00:03:31,414
Seriously. Gosh.
47
00:03:32,183 --> 00:03:35,754
No, I think the advisory department is the best place for me.
48
00:03:38,824 --> 00:03:40,093
I'm just kidding.
49
00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:47,664
Since you mention the advisory department,
50
00:03:50,173 --> 00:03:52,173
there seems to be an interesting guy among the new recruits.
51
00:03:54,873 --> 00:03:56,373
Did you meet with Jang Ho Woo, by any chance?
52
00:03:59,643 --> 00:04:01,583
You must've been surprised that I asked to see you so suddenly.
53
00:04:04,153 --> 00:04:05,754
I'm An Seung Yeon of the audit department.
54
00:04:06,683 --> 00:04:08,194
- Let's have a seat. - Yes, ma'am.
55
00:04:15,734 --> 00:04:17,233
(Audit Leader, An Seung Yeon)
56
00:04:17,434 --> 00:04:19,633
From what I hear, the guy who told Mr. Kang Hyun...
57
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,103
to reject People's Entertainment's opinion...
58
00:04:22,304 --> 00:04:24,074
and leave the company...
59
00:04:24,944 --> 00:04:26,444
was you, Mr. Jang.
60
00:04:27,543 --> 00:04:29,842
Well, I...
61
00:04:29,843 --> 00:04:32,113
There must've been a good reason.
62
00:04:32,114 --> 00:04:34,184
I'm sure you spoke the truth too.
63
00:04:34,244 --> 00:04:35,353
But...
64
00:04:36,184 --> 00:04:37,783
I just can't forgive you, that's all.
65
00:04:40,023 --> 00:04:41,592
I want you, Mr. Jang,
66
00:04:41,593 --> 00:04:43,853
to leave Taeil Accounting.
67
00:05:05,583 --> 00:05:07,543
(Sang Won and Sin Hye)
68
00:05:12,624 --> 00:05:16,723
(Director Han Seung Jo)
69
00:05:18,963 --> 00:05:20,424
Don't be mistaken.
70
00:05:20,523 --> 00:05:22,292
It's not because I like you.
71
00:05:22,293 --> 00:05:23,994
I'm only promoting you...
72
00:05:24,593 --> 00:05:26,463
to get rid of any trouble.
73
00:05:28,273 --> 00:05:30,602
I won't make an issue of the fact that you moved the banks...
74
00:05:30,603 --> 00:05:33,674
by using their expensive sales of bad loans.
75
00:05:33,973 --> 00:05:36,174
But how could a mere senior manager...
76
00:05:36,713 --> 00:05:38,643
make a director look like an idiot?
77
00:05:40,043 --> 00:05:41,683
If the other accountants were to find out...
78
00:05:41,684 --> 00:05:43,712
You speak as if Taeil Accounting...
79
00:05:43,713 --> 00:05:45,653
will come tumbling down because of one guy like me.
80
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:49,893
I'm sure it's better for you...
81
00:05:51,694 --> 00:05:53,223
to be promoted and chewed out.
82
00:06:02,204 --> 00:06:03,603
I didn't tell you to come in.
83
00:06:04,533 --> 00:06:08,173
Gosh, this sure is an accounting firm that likes money.
84
00:06:08,174 --> 00:06:09,913
The guy who makes them lots of money is the king here.
85
00:06:11,174 --> 00:06:12,943
Because of selling bad loans at a high price,
86
00:06:12,944 --> 00:06:15,384
they give you a promotion and even an office like this.
87
00:06:15,884 --> 00:06:17,582
A bluff is a legit move you can use too.
88
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:19,824
Whether you can read it or not is up to the other person.
89
00:06:20,223 --> 00:06:22,593
They say a spot for a desk in this building costs 200,000 dollars.
90
00:06:22,694 --> 00:06:25,593
Gosh, but for a desk this size, how much would it be?
91
00:06:26,064 --> 00:06:28,833
Will you quit being a CPA and become a licensed realtor instead?
92
00:06:28,893 --> 00:06:31,293
Why didn't you come to the sales deal meeting?
93
00:06:31,634 --> 00:06:32,662
I'm not interested.
94
00:06:32,663 --> 00:06:35,033
Even if the person who requested to sell is Ji Soo?
95
00:06:35,403 --> 00:06:36,674
Are you still not interested?
96
00:07:03,163 --> 00:07:04,333
About Cakebean...
97
00:07:05,564 --> 00:07:07,634
Take it somewhere other than Taeil Accounting.
98
00:07:09,103 --> 00:07:11,574
You know nothing good comes out of getting mixed up with VP Han.
99
00:07:11,944 --> 00:07:14,403
I wish you would stop caring about my business.
100
00:07:15,713 --> 00:07:16,813
Ji Soo, I mean...
101
00:07:16,814 --> 00:07:18,583
I told you. I'm not the same Jang Ji Soo.
102
00:07:20,043 --> 00:07:22,684
You can wait and see if something good comes out of it or not.
103
00:07:39,804 --> 00:07:40,864
Hey, Sung Min.
104
00:07:41,973 --> 00:07:43,374
I'll take the Cakebean case.
105
00:07:50,473 --> 00:07:52,713
I thought I was being careful, but he ended up here.
106
00:07:54,413 --> 00:07:55,713
He really did.
107
00:08:01,283 --> 00:08:02,454
Mr. Yang.
108
00:08:08,564 --> 00:08:11,163
I'm Han Seung Jo, the PM of the Cakebean sales deal.
109
00:08:11,364 --> 00:08:12,403
Let's start the meeting.
110
00:08:23,674 --> 00:08:26,343
It's a sales deal, but you're being so thorough with due diligence.
111
00:08:27,014 --> 00:08:29,814
An accounting firm's inspection becomes this deal's premise.
112
00:08:29,954 --> 00:08:32,783
Why do you think people say that we sell trust, not reports?
113
00:08:33,184 --> 00:08:35,093
It didn't seem like we sold trust either.
114
00:08:35,593 --> 00:08:36,623
What?
115
00:08:36,794 --> 00:08:37,954
You know what I mean. Why ask?
116
00:08:39,324 --> 00:08:40,424
You should watch...
117
00:08:47,434 --> 00:08:50,404
I thought you weren't interested. Why the sudden change of heart?
118
00:08:51,473 --> 00:08:52,574
Because of Ji Soo?
119
00:08:55,044 --> 00:08:58,343
We don't have enough information on HK Private Equity.
120
00:08:58,644 --> 00:08:59,843
It's usually not this bad.
121
00:09:00,544 --> 00:09:03,983
Maybe there's a reason why it has to be so secretive.
122
00:09:06,784 --> 00:09:08,753
Why did Ji Soo have to...
123
00:09:09,394 --> 00:09:11,123
She must have her reasons too.
124
00:09:12,593 --> 00:09:13,794
Do you know something about it?
125
00:09:15,064 --> 00:09:16,294
I'll find out,
126
00:09:17,263 --> 00:09:20,603
starting with who these rich and shy people are.
127
00:09:21,503 --> 00:09:23,904
We have to keep Ji Soo from getting hurt no matter what.
128
00:09:29,713 --> 00:09:32,184
If they sent money to a private equity,
129
00:09:32,343 --> 00:09:34,044
are they limited partners?
130
00:09:35,454 --> 00:09:36,513
Limited partners?
131
00:09:36,583 --> 00:09:37,853
I mean the money holder.
132
00:09:38,013 --> 00:09:40,383
It could be an individual or an organization.
133
00:09:42,394 --> 00:09:44,723
It might not be a person?
134
00:09:44,924 --> 00:09:47,024
And if it is a person, it might be a group of them.
135
00:09:47,924 --> 00:09:50,064
But why are you asking about LPs of a private equity out of the blue?
136
00:09:51,093 --> 00:09:53,434
I was wondering who the LPs of HK Private Equity were.
137
00:09:55,003 --> 00:09:57,274
There are so many things I can't figure out...
138
00:09:57,603 --> 00:09:59,174
with my skills alone.
139
00:10:01,743 --> 00:10:04,774
Realistically, it'll be hard to find who the money holder is.
140
00:10:05,113 --> 00:10:08,044
A private equity is meant to keep things from being exposed.
141
00:10:09,184 --> 00:10:11,513
You might have a chance if you go in through a pathway,
142
00:10:12,054 --> 00:10:14,184
like this passage between buildings.
143
00:10:30,473 --> 00:10:31,873
(Cash holdings)
144
00:10:31,973 --> 00:10:34,044
If you take a look here...
145
00:10:53,723 --> 00:10:55,064
Ms. Baek?
146
00:10:55,794 --> 00:10:57,064
I wonder what's going on.
147
00:11:07,243 --> 00:11:08,574
This afternoon...
148
00:11:09,574 --> 00:11:11,013
(Statement of Financial Position, as of December 31, 2022)
149
00:11:13,343 --> 00:11:15,683
Do I have to teach you to speak now? What about this afternoon?
150
00:11:15,684 --> 00:11:17,712
The problem you spotted...
151
00:11:17,713 --> 00:11:19,924
in Cakebean's financial statements earlier this afternoon.
152
00:11:21,154 --> 00:11:22,493
No matter how much I look at it,
153
00:11:23,554 --> 00:11:25,262
the classification of accounts seems fine.
154
00:11:25,263 --> 00:11:27,263
The numbers seem to be calculated appropriately.
155
00:11:27,424 --> 00:11:29,034
Their profitability is pretty good too.
156
00:11:29,294 --> 00:11:31,564
If it seems fine to you, it must be fine.
157
00:11:31,593 --> 00:11:33,304
You're an expert, just like me.
158
00:11:34,263 --> 00:11:36,204
This is my 1st year, and it's your 10th. How can we be the same?
159
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:37,434
Wait a second.
160
00:11:38,003 --> 00:11:39,843
Mr. Han!
161
00:11:56,654 --> 00:11:58,694
There's an issue that still has to be reported on.
162
00:11:59,223 --> 00:12:00,663
Jin Tae Soo...
163
00:12:00,664 --> 00:12:02,434
has embarrassed himself once again.
164
00:12:02,794 --> 00:12:04,694
I didn't embarrass myself. I gained experience.
165
00:12:07,164 --> 00:12:08,263
Also, you rascal.
166
00:12:08,973 --> 00:12:10,434
I'm your dad. How can you call me Tae Soo?
167
00:12:12,304 --> 00:12:13,674
I heard the workout went down the drain.
168
00:12:16,914 --> 00:12:19,713
In the future, all of that will...
169
00:12:29,194 --> 00:12:30,353
Dad.
170
00:12:30,524 --> 00:12:33,963
I've never been more glad that I chose to become an accountant.
171
00:12:34,024 --> 00:12:35,593
Oh, my. What's going on?
172
00:12:36,434 --> 00:12:38,632
"I don't have time to see friends."
173
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:40,502
"I don't have time to sleep."
174
00:12:40,503 --> 00:12:42,774
"I want to live like a human."
175
00:12:43,574 --> 00:12:45,304
You were always whining.
176
00:12:46,103 --> 00:12:48,444
But lately, I want to work very hard.
177
00:12:49,743 --> 00:12:50,914
Could I be...
178
00:12:51,444 --> 00:12:52,814
growing up?
179
00:12:53,044 --> 00:12:54,983
Gosh. You could be.
180
00:12:56,613 --> 00:12:58,314
Since you've grown up...
181
00:12:59,753 --> 00:13:01,683
The senior judge wants to meet with you...
182
00:13:01,684 --> 00:13:03,752
once Jin Seok's trial is over.
183
00:13:03,753 --> 00:13:05,493
Dad.
184
00:13:05,593 --> 00:13:08,794
It's a single judge right now,
185
00:13:08,894 --> 00:13:11,393
but to do something big in the future...
186
00:13:11,394 --> 00:13:13,463
We don't have to go through all of that trouble anymore.
187
00:13:14,704 --> 00:13:16,973
These days, I enjoy...
188
00:13:17,274 --> 00:13:20,003
going to work every day.
189
00:13:27,743 --> 00:13:29,954
(Handle with care)
190
00:13:30,654 --> 00:13:32,983
(Cakebean)
191
00:13:36,394 --> 00:13:38,524
(Receiving Freezer)
192
00:13:41,794 --> 00:13:42,893
(Inventory Check Status)
193
00:13:42,894 --> 00:13:44,064
What?
194
00:14:00,383 --> 00:14:02,253
Please show me the samples I've checked.
195
00:14:09,194 --> 00:14:10,424
I'm back.
196
00:14:11,694 --> 00:14:13,263
The inventory check was tough, right?
197
00:14:13,363 --> 00:14:15,024
Wasn't it really cold in the freezer?
198
00:14:20,863 --> 00:14:22,034
Oh, dear.
199
00:14:28,074 --> 00:14:29,314
I'll head out.
200
00:14:40,424 --> 00:14:42,024
Oh, gosh.
201
00:14:49,664 --> 00:14:51,363
- Eat more. - Thanks.
202
00:14:55,674 --> 00:14:57,003
Be quiet for a second.
203
00:15:01,404 --> 00:15:02,644
Hello?
204
00:15:02,873 --> 00:15:04,013
Yes.
205
00:15:05,644 --> 00:15:08,612
I didn't know I left that there. Tomorrow, I'll...
206
00:15:08,613 --> 00:15:10,583
I'm passing by your house.
207
00:15:10,784 --> 00:15:12,113
Where are you now?
208
00:15:13,024 --> 00:15:14,154
What?
209
00:15:15,954 --> 00:15:17,253
Goodness.
210
00:15:17,294 --> 00:15:18,794
You fool.
211
00:15:19,363 --> 00:15:21,493
Do you know what happened to me today?
212
00:15:21,763 --> 00:15:24,434
I was in this ridiculous cold storage...
213
00:15:26,434 --> 00:15:27,603
What?
214
00:15:41,243 --> 00:15:44,853
You should've told me that your senior was a woman.
215
00:15:48,353 --> 00:15:49,554
Welcome.
216
00:15:54,064 --> 00:15:56,363
- Here you go. - Thank you.
217
00:16:04,074 --> 00:16:05,473
Please take good care...
218
00:16:06,103 --> 00:16:07,444
of our Ho Woo.
219
00:16:11,243 --> 00:16:12,883
Mr. Jang does well...
220
00:16:12,914 --> 00:16:14,313
on his own.
221
00:16:14,314 --> 00:16:16,112
Sure. Is he in this state because he does so well...
222
00:16:16,113 --> 00:16:17,314
Hey.
223
00:16:23,394 --> 00:16:24,554
Well...
224
00:16:24,723 --> 00:16:28,093
Accountants don't usually wear suits for inventory checks.
225
00:16:28,993 --> 00:16:32,064
Even in the summer, a padded jacket is a must for freezers.
226
00:16:32,804 --> 00:16:35,203
Mr. Yang didn't tell you that?
227
00:16:35,204 --> 00:16:37,034
I guess he didn't want to tell me.
228
00:16:37,473 --> 00:16:39,473
You know he doesn't like me.
229
00:16:40,343 --> 00:16:41,843
The thing at the last meeting...
230
00:16:42,144 --> 00:16:43,914
was probably because of Ms. Son.
231
00:16:46,684 --> 00:16:48,144
Ms. Son Hye Won?
232
00:17:01,424 --> 00:17:02,794
Didn't you see the cup?
233
00:17:02,894 --> 00:17:04,664
Who put the cup in such a bad place?
234
00:17:04,733 --> 00:17:06,302
Are you saying what you did was good?
235
00:17:06,303 --> 00:17:08,263
If you had put it in a better place, it wouldn't have broken.
236
00:17:08,364 --> 00:17:09,704
It's my fault again?
237
00:17:11,434 --> 00:17:12,543
They're married?
238
00:17:13,844 --> 00:17:16,073
They started dating in college, and they entered Taeil together.
239
00:17:16,414 --> 00:17:17,543
Triple crown.
240
00:17:19,084 --> 00:17:20,743
If they entered Taeil together...
241
00:17:21,844 --> 00:17:24,713
Ms. Son's promotion was delayed because of maternity leave.
242
00:17:25,313 --> 00:17:27,954
Taking on this sales deal would improve performance evaluations.
243
00:17:28,084 --> 00:17:29,894
That's why she was so obsessed with it.
244
00:17:30,854 --> 00:17:34,023
Mr. Yang knew that. That's why he acted like that.
245
00:17:36,094 --> 00:17:38,694
I'm sure there is something...
246
00:17:39,334 --> 00:17:41,204
that no one other than those two know.
247
00:17:41,934 --> 00:17:43,134
Cheers.
248
00:17:43,733 --> 00:17:45,073
Oh, right.
249
00:17:49,473 --> 00:17:50,674
I could be wrong.
250
00:17:55,614 --> 00:17:57,713
Anyway, nice to meet you.
251
00:17:58,684 --> 00:18:00,184
- Cheers. - Cheers.
252
00:18:00,584 --> 00:18:01,783
Okay. I'll drink too, then.
253
00:18:17,434 --> 00:18:19,243
I have something else to give you.
254
00:18:33,053 --> 00:18:34,424
Speaking of which,
255
00:18:34,654 --> 00:18:36,854
can you help me with something without asking any questions?
256
00:18:38,094 --> 00:18:39,763
You know HK Private Equity, right?
257
00:18:40,323 --> 00:18:42,834
You know every rich person.
258
00:18:43,194 --> 00:18:44,364
What about them?
259
00:18:45,293 --> 00:18:47,763
Can you look into who their Limited Partner is?
260
00:18:52,073 --> 00:18:53,242
Is this a request?
261
00:18:53,243 --> 00:18:54,573
It's a favour.
262
00:18:54,644 --> 00:18:55,844
What are you trying to do?
263
00:18:57,773 --> 00:18:59,043
I'm trying to date someone.
264
00:19:00,184 --> 00:19:01,344
Date?
265
00:19:05,584 --> 00:19:08,553
I got this information...
266
00:19:09,293 --> 00:19:11,594
by mixing a favour...
267
00:19:11,694 --> 00:19:12,992
and a request...
268
00:19:12,993 --> 00:19:14,093
for the first time...
269
00:19:14,094 --> 00:19:15,194
in my life.
270
00:19:17,293 --> 00:19:19,233
(Lee Chan Ju)
271
00:19:20,104 --> 00:19:21,434
Lee Chan Ju?
272
00:19:23,503 --> 00:19:25,874
Sang Ah Group Chairman Lee Chan Ju...
273
00:19:26,104 --> 00:19:29,144
is one of the LPs of HK Private Equity.
274
00:19:31,243 --> 00:19:33,844
You were curious about it before.
275
00:19:37,283 --> 00:19:38,483
Are you sure?
276
00:19:38,614 --> 00:19:39,884
How did you find out?
277
00:19:42,553 --> 00:19:43,823
You're grateful, right?
278
00:20:07,614 --> 00:20:10,854
Gosh. What an irresponsible person.
279
00:20:15,793 --> 00:20:17,023
Hey.
280
00:20:17,954 --> 00:20:19,694
Why are you staring at her like that?
281
00:20:21,864 --> 00:20:24,263
What? Staring? What?
282
00:20:26,834 --> 00:20:28,503
You look jealous.
283
00:20:31,533 --> 00:20:32,944
I am jealous.
284
00:20:34,344 --> 00:20:35,673
I'm also fascinated.
285
00:20:35,674 --> 00:20:37,114
About what?
286
00:20:37,914 --> 00:20:40,713
Getting so irresponsibly drunk when she just met you two.
287
00:20:41,384 --> 00:20:43,384
I'm also jealous that she can normally smile, work,
288
00:20:43,813 --> 00:20:45,313
and go home.
289
00:20:47,323 --> 00:20:48,923
I don't have things...
290
00:20:48,924 --> 00:20:51,053
that are normal for other people.
291
00:20:52,194 --> 00:20:54,164
Should I even be among such people?
292
00:20:58,634 --> 00:21:00,063
She might be...
293
00:21:00,904 --> 00:21:03,003
much more impressive a person than I knew.
294
00:21:03,374 --> 00:21:06,003
No one asked you to become a fighter.
295
00:21:06,404 --> 00:21:09,273
Wouldn't it be nice if you could mix with them normally?
296
00:21:13,013 --> 00:21:15,013
I must survive if I'm to be a fighter.
297
00:21:23,424 --> 00:21:26,293
What, I must handle another drunkard?
298
00:21:26,394 --> 00:21:27,962
Help out just this once.
299
00:21:27,963 --> 00:21:29,394
Accountants are people too.
300
00:21:32,094 --> 00:21:34,003
Mr. Accountant. No.
301
00:21:34,904 --> 00:21:38,634
Mr. Jang. You could take your mentor home.
302
00:21:39,003 --> 00:21:40,043
Goodbye.
303
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:41,573
Hey, wait!
304
00:21:56,647 --> 00:21:57,887
You didn't have to.
305
00:21:58,147 --> 00:22:01,816
I told you to come say hi, not pay the whole bill.
306
00:22:01,817 --> 00:22:03,626
I should stay and entertain you,
307
00:22:03,627 --> 00:22:06,726
but I have a morning meeting I just can't miss.
308
00:22:09,397 --> 00:22:10,567
Don't.
309
00:22:11,297 --> 00:22:14,097
You're making me look bad.
310
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,505
I'll come for the company card next week.
311
00:22:16,506 --> 00:22:19,475
Until then, take your team out and eat...
312
00:22:19,476 --> 00:22:20,637
all that's good for you.
313
00:22:21,206 --> 00:22:23,047
I heard your Audit Department is...
314
00:22:23,406 --> 00:22:26,117
doing all they can to get the Jisan deal.
315
00:22:27,147 --> 00:22:30,245
Things never end well when two teams under the same roof...
316
00:22:30,246 --> 00:22:32,016
go against each other.
317
00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:36,057
Mr. Han must be very disgruntled.
318
00:22:37,686 --> 00:22:40,857
It must be added pressure on you.
319
00:22:41,696 --> 00:22:45,027
I'm here to see a respected friend, not to discuss work.
320
00:22:46,397 --> 00:22:47,996
I have your back.
321
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:49,735
Do you have mine?
322
00:22:49,736 --> 00:22:51,435
Sir, how about another round?
323
00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:53,106
Yes, sure. See you.
324
00:22:53,107 --> 00:22:54,206
Let's go!
325
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:55,877
Goodbye.
326
00:23:37,817 --> 00:23:38,916
Is this the spot?
327
00:23:40,686 --> 00:23:42,216
Where Jang In Ho died.
328
00:23:47,756 --> 00:23:49,327
I won't condemn you.
329
00:23:50,696 --> 00:23:53,337
Work is like being in a play.
330
00:23:54,537 --> 00:23:56,506
That was the role you were given.
331
00:23:57,137 --> 00:23:58,867
You couldn't have refused.
332
00:24:03,206 --> 00:24:05,976
Don't take it to mean I forgive you.
333
00:24:09,817 --> 00:24:10,887
Make up for it.
334
00:24:13,256 --> 00:24:15,756
So I can let live someone I want to kill.
335
00:24:17,686 --> 00:24:20,456
Prove your going concern value...
336
00:24:22,097 --> 00:24:25,097
is greater than your liquidation value,
337
00:24:27,367 --> 00:24:28,736
and make it up to me.
338
00:24:32,266 --> 00:24:33,406
How do you mean?
339
00:24:43,547 --> 00:24:45,245
(Lee Chan Ju)
340
00:24:45,246 --> 00:24:47,386

(Lee Chan Ju)
345
00:24:57,067 --> 00:24:59,027
If what Ms. Jin said is true,
346
00:24:59,597 --> 00:25:02,067
AN is someone important to HK Private Equity,
347
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,906
and if that person is connected to Lee Chan Ju,
348
00:25:05,567 --> 00:25:07,236
this will be much bigger than expected.
349
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:10,547
While Ji Soo gets closer to AN,
350
00:25:10,807 --> 00:25:13,446
it might be better if I go after Lee Chan Ju.
351
00:25:14,277 --> 00:25:15,416
I'm sure...
352
00:25:16,117 --> 00:25:17,516
they will cross paths.
353
00:25:24,486 --> 00:25:25,996
Stand up straight.
354
00:25:26,196 --> 00:25:27,995
You incompetent fools.
355
00:25:27,996 --> 00:25:30,527
Darn you. Why do you bother to eat?
356
00:25:31,367 --> 00:25:34,296
You must be collecting housing payments.
357
00:25:34,297 --> 00:25:36,935
Spend that to avert the crisis for now.
358
00:25:36,936 --> 00:25:38,205
The apartment payments...
359
00:25:38,206 --> 00:25:40,476
will equal the price of building a complex,
360
00:25:40,607 --> 00:25:42,005
and the profits come from the stores.
361
00:25:42,006 --> 00:25:44,546
We got all that messed up, and the stores are empty.

00:25:49,847 --> 00:25:51,215
They will release a new drug soon.
365
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,215
That must bring in some money.
366
00:25:53,216 --> 00:25:56,425
Release was pushed back because the third clinical trial failed.
367
00:25:56,426 --> 00:25:57,656
You fools!
368
00:25:58,256 --> 00:26:00,557
You spend a fortune in food and do nothing!
369
00:26:00,857 --> 00:26:04,126
All our subsidiaries are busy repaying each other's debts,
370
00:26:04,127 --> 00:26:05,596
so they're all messed up.
371
00:26:05,597 --> 00:26:07,436
Are you trying to make me feel worse?
372
00:26:09,236 --> 00:26:10,266
Forget it.
373
00:26:11,266 --> 00:26:13,176
Call Jisan Bank.
374
00:26:13,637 --> 00:26:15,975
Say we'll pay it back soon and ask for 20...
375
00:26:15,976 --> 00:26:19,216
No, ask for some extra, like 50 million dollars.
376
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:23,087
Don't just stand there! Call them!
377
00:26:23,347 --> 00:26:25,857
Jisan Bank is refusing our calls.
378
00:26:26,387 --> 00:26:27,656
Why?
379
00:26:27,756 --> 00:26:29,725
Everyone is talking about...
380
00:26:29,726 --> 00:26:32,955
our group's debt-to-equity ratio, and they won't talk to us.
381
00:26:32,956 --> 00:26:35,626
We did business with them since my father's time!
382
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:37,127
And they ignore our calls...
383
00:26:37,297 --> 00:26:39,097
because of some rumour?
384
00:26:40,867 --> 00:26:42,097
Those punks.
385
00:26:43,706 --> 00:26:44,837
I'll kill them all.
386
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:46,005
Move.
387
00:26:46,006 --> 00:26:49,377
Sir, if you make them demand we repay what we already owe...
388
00:27:02,986 --> 00:27:05,726
Why take home a paycheck if all you say is no?
389
00:27:06,196 --> 00:27:07,695
Before closing time,
390
00:27:07,696 --> 00:27:09,566
sell something or go to a loan shark.
391
00:27:09,567 --> 00:27:10,966
Do something!
392
00:27:11,496 --> 00:27:14,265
You won't? Do you want to get beaten to death?
393
00:27:14,266 --> 00:27:16,637
You all. Get out of here.
394
00:27:17,067 --> 00:27:18,206
Out!
395
00:27:22,137 --> 00:27:24,377
Why is everyone around me so incompetent?
396
00:27:24,807 --> 00:27:25,847
Darn it.
397
00:27:26,746 --> 00:27:28,216
I must've been crazy.
398
00:27:29,176 --> 00:27:31,317
Oh, my gosh.
399
00:27:32,716 --> 00:27:33,716
Oh, dear.
400
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:36,686
What is it now?
401
00:28:32,347 --> 00:28:35,416
The Cakebean deal. What do you think...
402
00:28:36,416 --> 00:28:38,716
we must do to sell it well?
403
00:28:41,787 --> 00:28:42,827
Who knows?
404
00:28:43,627 --> 00:28:46,756
If I like your idea, I might give you...
405
00:28:47,156 --> 00:28:48,857
a better performance evaluation.
406
00:28:51,397 --> 00:28:52,527
For my whole team.
407
00:28:55,337 --> 00:28:56,367
Very well.
408
00:28:56,706 --> 00:28:58,337
I think I'd convince the buyer...
409
00:28:59,166 --> 00:29:01,976
what they can sell later on if they buy Cakebean now.
410
00:29:02,777 --> 00:29:05,706
If they buy Cakebean, they can sell something else?
411
00:29:06,216 --> 00:29:09,387
You must make the buyer feel they're earning as they spend...
412
00:29:10,347 --> 00:29:11,746
to get them to open their wallet.
413
00:29:13,016 --> 00:29:15,857
Cakebean's positive company image,
414
00:29:16,486 --> 00:29:17,986
and a client...
415
00:29:18,827 --> 00:29:21,357
with empty store spaces who needs people to fill them...
416
00:29:22,256 --> 00:29:23,897
would be the main target.
417
00:29:25,266 --> 00:29:26,496
For example,
418
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:29,567
like Sang Ah Village.
419
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:33,206
Okay.
420
00:29:44,686 --> 00:29:46,087
If I buy a franchise,
421
00:29:47,587 --> 00:29:49,317
I can sell Sang Ah Village?
422
00:29:49,557 --> 00:29:52,485
Nothing's as quick and effective as selling property.
423
00:29:52,486 --> 00:29:55,655
That only applies to the sale of something big.
424
00:29:55,656 --> 00:29:57,866
Sang Ah Village's store spaces are all empty.
425
00:29:57,867 --> 00:30:00,367
I'll only make enough to cover the price of cement.
426
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:04,936
Do you two have the time to be here?
427
00:30:05,807 --> 00:30:06,877
Aren't you busy?
428
00:30:07,037 --> 00:30:08,976
What I'm going to suggest...
429
00:30:09,176 --> 00:30:11,646
is that you solve the empty store problem with franchises...
430
00:30:11,647 --> 00:30:14,346
so you can sell Sang Ah Village at a good price.
431
00:30:14,347 --> 00:30:17,486
Franchises are a dying business model.
432
00:30:17,716 --> 00:30:20,516
They've been going out for a while.
433
00:30:20,656 --> 00:30:23,256
You have a good chance with some steady sellers.
434
00:30:24,057 --> 00:30:26,297
Cakebean is a dessert brand...
435
00:30:30,666 --> 00:30:31,996
Chairman Lee.
436
00:30:34,897 --> 00:30:36,337
What do you think...
437
00:30:37,506 --> 00:30:39,676
an audit is?
438
00:30:40,037 --> 00:30:41,176
An audit?
439
00:30:41,976 --> 00:30:45,307
Why would you ask me that, all of a sudden?
440
00:30:48,446 --> 00:30:50,586
And audit's an audit.
441
00:30:50,587 --> 00:30:52,916
What do you think it means...
442
00:30:55,357 --> 00:30:56,985
to do a good auditing job?
443
00:30:56,986 --> 00:30:58,626
It means...
444
00:30:58,627 --> 00:31:01,755
to go through a company's finances thoroughly...
445
00:31:01,756 --> 00:31:03,367
to see if they did good or bad...
446
00:31:06,867 --> 00:31:08,666
My advisory department...
447
00:31:09,266 --> 00:31:13,175
can openly say we do a good job,
448
00:31:13,176 --> 00:31:15,107
but the audit department...
449
00:31:16,446 --> 00:31:18,975
We can't say they do a good job,
450
00:31:18,976 --> 00:31:21,676
but it's also hard to say they do a bad job.
451
00:31:23,246 --> 00:31:26,656
I feel a predicament as a fellow accountant.
452
00:31:29,527 --> 00:31:33,256
Even VP An Seung Yeon, who is known in the business...
453
00:31:33,827 --> 00:31:36,466
as being great at her job,
454
00:31:36,926 --> 00:31:39,837
isn't up to par. That just says it all.
455
00:31:43,406 --> 00:31:44,637
Well, anyway...
456
00:31:46,807 --> 00:31:48,877
What kind of client would like it...
457
00:31:50,577 --> 00:31:55,077
if you told them you could cut off their necks...
458
00:31:55,946 --> 00:31:58,787
with the knife in your hands?
459
00:32:00,357 --> 00:32:03,327
It might be better to stay blind...
460
00:32:05,127 --> 00:32:06,996
until the final blow.
461
00:32:13,466 --> 00:32:14,567
But...
462
00:32:15,236 --> 00:32:18,265
what did you say earlier? Cakebean?
463
00:32:18,266 --> 00:32:19,976
Do they sell cakes made of beans or something?
464
00:32:26,516 --> 00:32:29,476
How did you catch on that VP An Seung Yeon...
465
00:32:30,016 --> 00:32:31,416
contacted Chairman Lee Chan Ju?
466
00:32:31,847 --> 00:32:33,955
That guy doesn't have anywhere to get money from,
467
00:32:33,956 --> 00:32:35,586
but he's acting so arrogant.
468
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,426
The reasons are obvious.
469
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:40,557
An Seung Yeon must've said that if he had her do the audit,
470
00:32:40,797 --> 00:32:44,466
she'd connect him to a bank who could help him with funding.
471
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,666
Hey, let's talk later. Bye.
472
00:32:50,266 --> 00:32:51,506
Gosh.
473
00:32:52,936 --> 00:32:54,577
Right, so...
474
00:32:54,736 --> 00:32:56,475
where were we?
475
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:58,346
Right. That cake thing.
476
00:32:58,347 --> 00:33:00,216
Yes, and the beans.
477
00:33:00,976 --> 00:33:03,887
If they buy Cakebean, they can sell something else?
478
00:33:04,087 --> 00:33:07,256
You must make the buyer feel they're earning as they spend...
479
00:33:08,216 --> 00:33:09,926
to get them to open their wallet.
480
00:33:24,637 --> 00:33:26,837
Is it really okay to freeze them like this beforehand?
481
00:33:26,906 --> 00:33:28,807
That's why this is a skill and why we have a patent.
482
00:33:29,406 --> 00:33:32,147
If we don't do this, we won't be able to handle...
483
00:33:32,246 --> 00:33:33,675
the Christmas cake demand.
484
00:33:33,676 --> 00:33:36,587
This cooling technique could be used in various ways,
485
00:33:36,686 --> 00:33:39,047
and not just cake. It's very impressive.
486
00:33:40,387 --> 00:33:41,986
I'm sure people will make use of it.
487
00:33:45,557 --> 00:33:48,956
(Cakebean)
488
00:33:50,266 --> 00:33:53,637
Please work hard for us until we sign the contract.
489
00:33:54,337 --> 00:33:57,235
Cakebean is a great company...
490
00:33:57,236 --> 00:33:59,107
with many franchise locations.
491
00:34:00,077 --> 00:34:02,976
Can I ask why you're selling such a great company?
492
00:34:03,047 --> 00:34:04,806
Well, that's...
493
00:34:04,807 --> 00:34:07,416
Hey, do you have a death wish?
494
00:34:07,577 --> 00:34:08,817
Move out of the way this instant!
495
00:34:11,846 --> 00:34:12,956
Hey!
496
00:34:12,987 --> 00:34:15,516
I won't move. Who do you plan to kill this time?
497
00:34:15,857 --> 00:34:17,556
I refuse to take a single step from here.
498
00:34:21,556 --> 00:34:22,927
(Pushing out franchise stores is like murder!)
499
00:34:23,096 --> 00:34:25,027
"Pushing out franchise stores?"
500
00:34:28,837 --> 00:34:30,337
You'll have to run me over if you want to leave!
501
00:34:30,936 --> 00:34:32,535
My family is about to die.
502
00:34:32,536 --> 00:34:33,676
- I don't care. - Quickly, please.
503
00:34:33,677 --> 00:34:35,376
- Let go of me! - Hey, get up!
504
00:34:35,377 --> 00:34:37,407
I said, let me go!
505
00:34:37,476 --> 00:34:39,607
- What's wrong with you? - I won't back down.
506
00:34:39,817 --> 00:34:42,115
- I will fight until the end. - Get over here!
507
00:34:42,116 --> 00:34:43,316
- Come on! - I refuse!
508
00:34:43,317 --> 00:34:45,616
We'll have to tell Mr. Han Seung Jo.
509
00:34:45,947 --> 00:34:47,156
I'll do it.
510
00:34:47,157 --> 00:34:49,086
Please, save me!
511
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,156
- Hey, what are you doing? - Let me go!
512
00:34:51,157 --> 00:34:52,656
(Gangnam Station Store)
513
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:54,357
Minus 12 percent?
514
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:57,896
Then do you mean Cakebean stores...
515
00:34:57,897 --> 00:34:59,766
face more losses the more they run their business?
516
00:35:02,766 --> 00:35:04,936
No wonder they chained themselves and lay down on the ground.
517
00:35:06,036 --> 00:35:08,336
Money kept coming and going in any case.
518
00:35:08,337 --> 00:35:11,575
The franchise store owners would've found it difficult...
519
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:12,976
to know if they were making money or not.
520
00:35:13,647 --> 00:35:15,177
They would've needed at least two years...
521
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:17,186
to figure out that it was a loss in the end.
522
00:35:18,516 --> 00:35:20,116
I saw this somewhere.
523
00:35:26,326 --> 00:35:28,556
Cakebean franchise stores' average duration of business.
524
00:35:29,596 --> 00:35:32,297
HK Private Equity must've known from the start...
525
00:35:32,866 --> 00:35:35,096
that franchise stores close in two years.
526
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:38,536
That was why they raised our commission.
527
00:35:39,237 --> 00:35:40,636
They wanted us to sell it fast.
528
00:35:42,436 --> 00:35:44,147
Once the host dies,
529
00:35:44,746 --> 00:35:47,076
the parasite can no longer survive.
530
00:35:51,647 --> 00:35:52,846
Yes?
531
00:36:02,357 --> 00:36:04,627
How was field work today? Was it all right?
532
00:36:06,067 --> 00:36:07,365
Well,
533
00:36:07,366 --> 00:36:08,697
you know how due diligence is.
534
00:36:09,496 --> 00:36:10,706
Any other issues?
535
00:36:10,907 --> 00:36:12,166
We should make sure there aren't any.
536
00:36:12,666 --> 00:36:14,877
This is an important sales deal for me.
537
00:36:17,107 --> 00:36:18,407
Get going.
538
00:36:29,717 --> 00:36:31,785
They demanded that franchise stores be guaranteed the right to live.
539
00:36:31,786 --> 00:36:33,357
They were throwing themselves in front of the trucks.
540
00:36:34,556 --> 00:36:36,567
I really thought something serious might happen.
541
00:36:36,627 --> 00:36:38,397
I believe it if they were being pushed out.
542
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,935
They forced franchise stores to take on products...
543
00:36:40,936 --> 00:36:42,866
and buy more than they could.
544
00:36:43,567 --> 00:36:46,907
This won't cause us any problems, will it?
545
00:36:47,076 --> 00:36:49,976
Mr. Jang said he'd talk to Mr. Han about it.
546
00:36:50,107 --> 00:36:51,407
I'm sure we'll hear something.
547
00:37:01,416 --> 00:37:02,987
Chairman Lee Chan Ju is coming too?
548
00:37:06,797 --> 00:37:08,257
Yes, we'll leave right away.
549
00:37:12,226 --> 00:37:13,436
Mr. Jang.
550
00:37:13,897 --> 00:37:14,967
Later.
551
00:37:21,936 --> 00:37:23,975
And this location is...
552
00:37:23,976 --> 00:37:26,677
where a Cakebean store will be opening soon.
553
00:37:26,702 --> 00:37:28,472
Oh, is this the location?
554
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:33,586
The area for exclusive use is about...
555
00:37:33,587 --> 00:37:35,386
(For Lease)
556
00:37:35,556 --> 00:37:38,286
These are desserts that will be sold at Cakebean. If you take a look...
557
00:37:38,786 --> 00:37:41,027
So this is the stuff that's made with beans.
558
00:37:41,357 --> 00:37:44,496
Anyway, this store will be opening up here, right?
559
00:37:44,666 --> 00:37:46,967
This stuff looks delicious.
560
00:37:50,567 --> 00:37:52,006
If we sign the contract tomorrow,
561
00:37:52,007 --> 00:37:53,476
the Cakebean sales deal will be over.
562
00:37:54,677 --> 00:37:57,376
Oh, you don't have to go with me to Sang Ah Group tomorrow.
563
00:37:57,377 --> 00:37:59,975
Yes, I heard the chairman will be going on a business trip.
564
00:37:59,976 --> 00:38:01,217
You know so much.
565
00:38:01,246 --> 00:38:02,846
How is it that you're doing a good job?
566
00:38:03,386 --> 00:38:06,686
You never know how a deal might go until the very end.
567
00:38:13,857 --> 00:38:15,056
Mr. Jang.
568
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:17,596
What happened?
569
00:38:18,266 --> 00:38:20,496
Didn't you report to Mr. Han?
570
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:23,837
Didn't you say you'd tell him...
571
00:38:24,507 --> 00:38:26,576
about the company pushing out franchise stores?
572
00:38:27,036 --> 00:38:29,277
I will someday.
573
00:38:30,907 --> 00:38:32,177
When?
574
00:38:32,607 --> 00:38:33,876
On the plane?
575
00:38:33,877 --> 00:38:35,246
After the whole deal is over?
576
00:38:36,177 --> 00:38:37,947
Didn't we see everything we had to see?
577
00:38:40,956 --> 00:38:42,817
What on earth are you thinking?
578
00:38:45,186 --> 00:38:48,757
I want you, Mr. Jang, to leave Taeil Accounting.
579
00:38:49,427 --> 00:38:51,627
Even if it started with good intentions,
580
00:38:51,797 --> 00:38:54,567
I cannot allow anyone at Taeil Accounting...
581
00:38:54,697 --> 00:38:57,866
to use others to achieve his goals. At least, not while I'm here.
582
00:38:58,636 --> 00:39:00,035
Accountants...
583
00:39:00,036 --> 00:39:03,976
must be responsible for the process as well as the results.
584
00:39:07,116 --> 00:39:08,717
Please allow it just once more.
585
00:39:10,447 --> 00:39:12,386
A good intention that didn't achieve its goals...
586
00:39:12,916 --> 00:39:14,286
is meaningless.
587
00:39:16,516 --> 00:39:17,987
I want to...
588
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:21,897
make your good intention come true.
589
00:39:25,967 --> 00:39:27,165
Whatever.
590
00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:28,536
I'll go and tell him, then.
591
00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:30,237
Someone told me...
592
00:39:31,237 --> 00:39:33,377
that accountants aren't heroes of justice.
593
00:39:34,277 --> 00:39:36,947
Is this something that requires heroes of justice?
594
00:39:37,147 --> 00:39:38,976
It's common sense.
595
00:39:40,076 --> 00:39:41,816
Selling a company whose financial statements ...
596
00:39:41,817 --> 00:39:43,646
we can't even trust is just not right.
597
00:39:43,647 --> 00:39:46,286
Are we trying to stab the buyer in the back when they trusted us?
598
00:39:54,427 --> 00:39:56,427
Is not telling me things your specialty these days?
599
00:39:58,527 --> 00:39:59,626
Don't get the wrong idea.
600
00:39:59,627 --> 00:40:01,467
I was here first, and you guys came in.
601
00:40:03,536 --> 00:40:04,967
Why didn't you tell me...
602
00:40:05,067 --> 00:40:06,677
what happened when you went to do due diligence?
603
00:40:10,407 --> 00:40:12,806
Isn't that true for you too?
604
00:40:14,476 --> 00:40:17,785
You knew, just by looking over the financial statements,
605
00:40:17,786 --> 00:40:19,886
what HK Private Equity did to Cakebean.
606
00:40:22,286 --> 00:40:23,686
But you didn't say a word.
607
00:40:25,087 --> 00:40:26,527
Pushing out?
608
00:40:27,397 --> 00:40:29,825
We don't do stuff like forcing our franchise store owners...
609
00:40:29,826 --> 00:40:32,866
to buy products or anything like that.
610
00:40:33,996 --> 00:40:35,566
If your sales were all legitimate,
611
00:40:35,567 --> 00:40:37,606
there would've been a sales pattern...
612
00:40:37,607 --> 00:40:39,636
even if it didn't show directly on the financial statements.
613
00:40:40,507 --> 00:40:41,935
Since this is a dessert brand,
614
00:40:41,936 --> 00:40:43,805
there must've been changes in sales...
615
00:40:43,806 --> 00:40:45,377
depending on the season and promotions you had.
616
00:40:46,576 --> 00:40:49,217
But Cakebean doesn't have anything you can call a sales pattern.
617
00:40:50,386 --> 00:40:53,386
Because these sales were pieced together by someone on purpose.
618
00:40:54,317 --> 00:40:56,416
This was a good attempt, but you won't get your own way.
619
00:40:56,826 --> 00:40:58,886
I can't sell a product that can't be trusted.
620
00:41:00,527 --> 00:41:01,857
Even if your client,
621
00:41:03,096 --> 00:41:05,027
Joyce Jang, made me do it?
622
00:41:08,866 --> 00:41:11,165
She said if I wanted to make the most money I could,
623
00:41:11,166 --> 00:41:12,467
I had to listen to her.
624
00:41:16,877 --> 00:41:18,206
It wasn't Ji Soo's fault.
625
00:41:18,947 --> 00:41:21,415
It's a common thing that happens in a private equity's exit strategy.
626
00:41:21,416 --> 00:41:22,646
(Exit: Selling an acquired company and turning it into cash)
627
00:41:22,647 --> 00:41:25,015
Accountants have no responsibility to consider franchise stores,
628
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:27,357
which aren't part of the due diligence.
629
00:41:28,157 --> 00:41:30,257
Sure, so we'll just go ahead with the deal.
630
00:41:30,527 --> 00:41:31,786
What's the problem?
631
00:41:33,427 --> 00:41:35,127
This isn't like you, Jang Ho Woo.
632
00:41:35,427 --> 00:41:37,067
I'll figure it out myself.
633
00:41:37,527 --> 00:41:39,226
I'm a professional, just like you.
634
00:41:42,666 --> 00:41:43,737
Can you still say...
635
00:41:45,107 --> 00:41:47,507
accounting firms sell trust...
636
00:41:49,306 --> 00:41:50,447
instead of reports?
637
00:42:07,257 --> 00:42:09,197
(Director Han Seung Jo)
638
00:42:13,536 --> 00:42:15,397
The thing you asked for before.
639
00:42:16,096 --> 00:42:18,166
There isn't much information here either,
640
00:42:19,407 --> 00:42:20,607
but...
641
00:42:20,837 --> 00:42:23,845
I found a few companies HK Private Equity contacted...
642
00:42:23,846 --> 00:42:25,147
and sent it to your email.
643
00:42:27,047 --> 00:42:29,177
What do these guys do?
644
00:42:53,832 --> 00:42:55,301
(President Jin Tae Soo)
645
00:42:58,971 --> 00:43:00,872
Jisan Bank President Jin Tae Soo?
646
00:43:01,272 --> 00:43:03,872
Is he still asking us to join the special receivable bid?
647
00:43:03,971 --> 00:43:05,281
What should I do?
648
00:43:05,482 --> 00:43:08,351
Ignore it. It's not as if there's an upside.
649
00:43:08,352 --> 00:43:09,581
(Upside: Possibility of gains beyond expected earnings)
650
00:43:09,582 --> 00:43:12,022
Does he think I came here just for something like that?
651
00:43:32,602 --> 00:43:34,971
Why did you want to meet? I was already done with work.
652
00:43:44,781 --> 00:43:47,281
A foreign equity fund is targeting Korean companies...
653
00:43:47,422 --> 00:43:50,321
and only doing business in Korea to make money?
654
00:43:52,292 --> 00:43:53,562
Korean money?
655
00:43:54,091 --> 00:43:55,261
A Korean person?
656
00:43:55,661 --> 00:43:57,562
That's right. A foreigner of Korean descent.
657
00:43:58,002 --> 00:43:59,530
Since they earned that money in Korea,
658
00:43:59,531 --> 00:44:01,902
that money can legally stay in Korea.
659
00:44:02,172 --> 00:44:04,172
Since the money belongs to foreigners,
660
00:44:04,602 --> 00:44:06,442
they can take it overseas if they want.
661
00:44:07,102 --> 00:44:09,312
Why are they making things so complicated?
662
00:44:09,642 --> 00:44:13,011
They can bring money out from the dark and into the light.
663
00:44:14,281 --> 00:44:15,411
Money laundering.
664
00:44:18,982 --> 00:44:20,622
Even if this is true,
665
00:44:21,192 --> 00:44:23,852
there's no way Chairman Lee did this on his own.
666
00:44:30,931 --> 00:44:32,232
Who does she think she is?
667
00:44:46,241 --> 00:44:47,341
Han Seung Jo?
668
00:44:50,681 --> 00:44:51,781
Move.
669
00:44:56,192 --> 00:44:57,192
It's okay.
670
00:45:05,801 --> 00:45:08,402
Does HK Private Equity's capital come from Korea?
671
00:45:09,701 --> 00:45:11,142
What you're doing now...
672
00:45:11,471 --> 00:45:13,542
is very dangerous. Do you even know that?
673
00:45:16,372 --> 00:45:18,780
This is completely different from pushing out franchise stores...
674
00:45:18,781 --> 00:45:20,881
like you did with Cakebean.
675
00:45:21,712 --> 00:45:23,511
I guess you're not an incompetent accountant.
676
00:45:24,951 --> 00:45:26,122
It's dangerous?
677
00:45:27,522 --> 00:45:30,752
Dangers you are aware of do not pose a threat.
678
00:45:32,562 --> 00:45:35,232
It's just a factor that gets reflected in the price.
679
00:45:35,491 --> 00:45:37,531
Are you saying you get paid more by HK Private Equity...
680
00:45:38,361 --> 00:45:40,261
because what you do is dangerous?
681
00:45:40,732 --> 00:45:43,930
As you can see, it's all paid work.
682
00:45:43,931 --> 00:45:45,002
Ji Soo.
683
00:45:46,602 --> 00:45:48,372
Why are you doing this?
684
00:45:55,352 --> 00:45:57,482
You were always acting like you were all that,
685
00:46:00,321 --> 00:46:01,852
but I guess you're no different.
686
00:46:03,591 --> 00:46:05,761
Look at you getting drunk and visiting an ex-girlfriend.
687
00:46:15,031 --> 00:46:16,301
The real danger...
688
00:46:18,272 --> 00:46:19,741
is uncertainty.
689
00:46:22,542 --> 00:46:24,982
A situation in which you can't judge whether something is good or bad.
690
00:46:27,442 --> 00:46:29,551
Leave before you regret tomorrow after sobering up.
691
00:47:33,911 --> 00:47:35,152
You have the contract, right?
692
00:47:36,681 --> 00:47:37,721
Yes.
693
00:48:16,652 --> 00:48:17,692
Get in.
694
00:48:19,721 --> 00:48:22,361
What are you doing? Chairman Lee's schedule changed.
695
00:48:23,031 --> 00:48:24,031
Okay.
696
00:48:39,681 --> 00:48:40,811
Didn't you also want...
697
00:48:40,812 --> 00:48:43,181
this sales deal to go through?
698
00:48:43,551 --> 00:48:46,022
I thought that was why you didn't tell Mr. Han.
699
00:48:46,582 --> 00:48:48,450
You need to drop something when it's at the highest point...
700
00:48:48,451 --> 00:48:49,792
for it to completely shatter.
701
00:48:51,192 --> 00:48:52,721
What?
702
00:48:53,192 --> 00:48:54,991
But what's with this car?
703
00:48:56,192 --> 00:48:57,832
This is the fastest of my cars.
704
00:48:58,701 --> 00:48:59,931
"My cars?"
705
00:49:03,071 --> 00:49:04,301
Oh, Ms. Jin.
706
00:49:17,781 --> 00:49:18,852
Mr. Jang.
707
00:49:21,591 --> 00:49:24,351
There's something we need to tell one of the passengers urgently.
708
00:49:24,352 --> 00:49:25,860
I already told you.
709
00:49:25,861 --> 00:49:28,062
Once they're past immigration, it's impossible.
710
00:49:28,292 --> 00:49:29,961
What about a memo or an announcement on the plane?
711
00:49:29,962 --> 00:49:33,800
We cannot do that due to issues on personal information and safety.
712
00:49:33,801 --> 00:49:36,172
Right. I'll buy a ticket, then.
713
00:49:36,971 --> 00:49:39,602
I can get past immigration if I have a ticket, right?
714
00:49:39,741 --> 00:49:41,740
- Here. - Your passport, please.
715
00:49:41,741 --> 00:49:43,671
I'm not actually leaving the country.
716
00:49:43,672 --> 00:49:46,281
I'm just going inside for a bit and coming right back out.
717
00:49:46,312 --> 00:49:47,511
Do I still need a passport?
718
00:49:48,082 --> 00:49:49,111
Yes.
719
00:49:52,652 --> 00:49:54,321
(Mr. Jang)
720
00:49:54,892 --> 00:49:56,950
The phone is turned off.
721
00:49:56,951 --> 00:49:58,922
Please leave a message...
722
00:50:30,922 --> 00:50:32,321
Mr. Han Seung Jo?
723
00:50:32,892 --> 00:50:34,832
What are you doing here?
724
00:50:34,991 --> 00:50:37,462
Don't buy Cakebean, Chairman Lee.
725
00:50:38,631 --> 00:50:39,661
What?
726
00:50:41,402 --> 00:50:43,570
Did you also come here...
727
00:50:43,571 --> 00:50:45,602
to tell me that?
728
00:50:47,042 --> 00:50:48,071
What?
729
00:50:55,482 --> 00:50:57,681
Thank you for your work. Thank you.
730
00:51:07,462 --> 00:51:08,491
Mr. Jang.
731
00:51:10,531 --> 00:51:12,301

Thank you.
738

Please give me any ticket that will get me past immigration.
739
00:51:43,931 --> 00:51:45,131
Chairman Lee!
740
00:51:49,531 --> 00:51:51,672
I'm Jang Ho Woo, an accountant from Taeil Accounting.
741
00:51:54,402 --> 00:51:58,141
With the Cakebean sales deal, people at headquarters are...
742
00:51:58,142 --> 00:52:00,781
Please don't sign that contract, Chairman Lee.
743
00:52:02,051 --> 00:52:03,082
What?
744
00:52:03,152 --> 00:52:06,281
Cakebean is a lot different from what you know.
745
00:52:07,022 --> 00:52:09,692
I can prove it to you easily.
746
00:52:10,352 --> 00:52:12,361
That's impossible.
747
00:52:12,792 --> 00:52:14,860
Vice President Han Je Kyun clearly said...
748
00:52:14,861 --> 00:52:17,431
Vice President Han Je Kyun may not have known.
749
00:52:18,462 --> 00:52:19,861
Or maybe he did.
750
00:52:21,502 --> 00:52:22,831
If he didn't know, it was a mistake.
751
00:52:22,832 --> 00:52:24,471
If he knew, he deceived you.
752
00:52:25,602 --> 00:52:27,042
Either way,
753
00:52:27,801 --> 00:52:29,741
it's a problem for you.
754
00:52:33,111 --> 00:52:35,212
The one who takes away the poisonous cake...
755
00:52:35,551 --> 00:52:37,852
appears to be more amazing...
756
00:52:38,482 --> 00:52:40,082
than the one who gives a sweet cake.
757
00:52:58,272 --> 00:53:00,201
(Boarding Pass)

760
00:53:58,332 --> 00:54:00,462
Who are you to break the deal?
761
00:54:01,301 --> 00:54:02,672
I said you'd pay for the price...
762
00:54:04,801 --> 00:54:06,241
How dare you backstab me?
763
00:54:06,801 --> 00:54:08,872
Were you planning this to screw me over?
764
00:54:09,872 --> 00:54:11,212
Did you set me up?
765
00:54:11,381 --> 00:54:13,681
You're insane. What are you, a moron?
766
00:54:15,482 --> 00:54:16,852
What's wrong with you?
767
00:54:35,571 --> 00:54:37,602
Let's meet as soon as I return to Korea.
768
00:54:37,701 --> 00:54:39,301
We need to finish our conversation.
769
00:54:45,781 --> 00:54:47,111
You didn't hold out until he came to the airport...
770
00:54:49,681 --> 00:54:51,212
If that worked,
771
00:54:51,582 --> 00:54:53,181
let's say that was part of my plan.
772
00:54:54,821 --> 00:54:55,951
What are you saying?

(2023 Cakebean Statement of Financial Position)
774
00:55:01,122 --> 00:55:04,831
The patent technology wasn't included in Cakebean sales deal?
775
00:55:04,832 --> 00:55:07,001
No, HK Private Equity said...
776
00:55:07,002 --> 00:55:09,232
they were going to keep the patent.
777
00:55:10,172 --> 00:55:11,772
They'll sell the company...
778
00:55:12,341 --> 00:55:13,741
but not the patent?

(Certificate of Patent)
783
00:55:45,241 --> 00:55:46,372
Patent?
784
00:55:48,241 --> 00:55:51,312
That's all the patents HK Private Equity owns?
785
00:55:52,781 --> 00:55:56,951
Why did they need so many patents?
786
00:55:59,181 --> 00:56:00,481
It's a shield.
787
00:56:00,482 --> 00:56:03,051
A shield to protect me from responsibility and criticism.
788
00:56:03,652 --> 00:56:05,062
With that,
789
00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:06,861
even a slush fund is not a problem.
790
00:56:07,562 --> 00:56:09,531
Do you think this would work in times like this?
791
00:56:11,131 --> 00:56:13,831
I noticed the city's biggest food manufacturer is...
792
00:56:13,832 --> 00:56:16,502
located in your district.
793
00:56:16,801 --> 00:56:21,201
That company must be dying to support your political funds.
794
00:56:22,011 --> 00:56:24,610
If they could, they'd rather pay you some...
795
00:56:24,611 --> 00:56:27,181
and receive benefits in return.
796
00:56:27,611 --> 00:56:30,152
They're not probably aware of how.
797
00:56:31,681 --> 00:56:33,281
I'll solve the problem for you.
798
00:56:33,381 --> 00:56:34,892
In a legal...
799
00:56:34,922 --> 00:56:36,152
and safe way.
800
00:56:41,591 --> 00:56:43,131
Patent dues.
801
00:56:45,602 --> 00:56:47,502
The money one pays to the owner of the patent...
802
00:56:47,861 --> 00:56:49,971
for using the patent?
803
00:56:51,002 --> 00:56:53,441
If you exchange money for no good reason,
804
00:56:53,442 --> 00:56:55,571
that's improper solicitation and bribery.
805
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:57,470
But if you lend a patent the company needs...
806
00:56:57,471 --> 00:56:58,812
and charge them for it,
807
00:56:59,411 --> 00:57:00,942
that's business.
808
00:57:02,252 --> 00:57:04,982
So this is a shield?
809
00:57:05,181 --> 00:57:07,181
The exclusive right approved by the country.
810
00:57:07,752 --> 00:57:09,221
That's a patent.
811
00:57:09,352 --> 00:57:11,661
It becomes legal tunnelling.
812
00:57:12,091 --> 00:57:13,661
Refer to this data,
813
00:57:13,821 --> 00:57:18,732
and check who has HK Private Equity's patent licenses.
814
00:57:19,201 --> 00:57:20,301
Yes, sir.
815
00:57:20,502 --> 00:57:23,102
And if you give this patent to your son,
816
00:57:23,272 --> 00:57:25,372
that solves the gift tax problem.
817
00:57:26,042 --> 00:57:28,042
It also lets you become a good father.
818
00:57:28,611 --> 00:57:30,142
In the end,
819
00:57:30,341 --> 00:57:33,010
you're doing this for the good of your son.

The rest of the patents are the same.
830
00:57:54,161 --> 00:57:55,301
Should I keep going?
831
00:58:00,502 --> 00:58:02,571
So, what do you want from me?
832
00:58:03,212 --> 00:58:05,281
You're probably doing this for something.
833
00:58:06,042 --> 00:58:08,812
Jang Ji Soo isn't collecting patents.
834
00:58:11,411 --> 00:58:13,122
She's collecting people.
835
00:58:22,931 --> 00:58:24,062
Yes?
836
00:58:24,361 --> 00:58:26,462
How did the interview go with the distressed debt fund manager?
837
00:58:27,261 --> 00:58:29,301
In his 40s, a lone breadwinner with a lot of loans.
838
00:58:29,672 --> 00:58:31,841
Pick someone who needs money for his children.
839
00:58:32,102 --> 00:58:34,071
No retreat would make him obedient.
840
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:37,642
Who feels a sense of accomplishment these days?
841
00:58:38,011 --> 00:58:40,381
Just pay him more. Yes.
842
00:58:44,451 --> 00:58:45,681
Chairman Lee Sung Ju.
843
00:58:50,091 --> 00:58:52,392
I was actually on my way to see you. I'm glad you're here.
844
00:58:54,361 --> 00:58:57,061
I want to get paid for lending you my name...
845
00:58:57,062 --> 00:58:58,962
last time.
846
00:58:59,761 --> 00:59:01,002
Right.
847
00:59:01,201 --> 00:59:02,602
What would you like?
848
00:59:03,902 --> 00:59:06,471
You don't even know what I want. Why are you so confident?
849
00:59:11,142 --> 00:59:13,341
You want me to collect Sang Ah Group's bonds?
850
00:59:14,442 --> 00:59:16,950
For a company with the owner risk like Sang Ah Group,
851
00:59:16,951 --> 00:59:19,321
the creditors will become more powerful than shareholders one day.
852
00:59:19,551 --> 00:59:21,921
Even if there's an owner risk,
853
00:59:21,922 --> 00:59:23,651
as long as the company pays the principal and interest regularly,
854
00:59:23,652 --> 00:59:25,792
there's nothing creditors can do.
855
00:59:25,962 --> 00:59:28,022
The situation may change anytime.
856
00:59:33,502 --> 00:59:35,171
If the situation changes,
857
00:59:35,172 --> 00:59:37,931
the creditor's status will also change.
858
00:59:39,071 --> 00:59:42,911
They only act like docile sheep when they get paid on time.
859
00:59:43,642 --> 00:59:45,011
Wild animals...
860
00:59:46,482 --> 00:59:49,051
even eat the zookeeper when they're not fed.

Well...
864
01:00:30,422 --> 01:00:31,622
I...
865
01:00:32,622 --> 01:00:33,861
What's this?
866
01:00:37,991 --> 01:00:39,161
You...
867
01:00:39,902 --> 01:00:42,902
Do you always meddle with other's business?
868
01:00:44,301 --> 01:00:46,942
It's okay to slack off sometimes. What's the big deal?
869
01:00:47,341 --> 01:00:48,812
Why are you so ashamed of it?
870
01:00:56,011 --> 01:00:58,312
I didn't do anything to be ashamed of.
871
01:00:58,551 --> 01:00:59,881
Then let me join you.
872
01:01:02,091 --> 01:01:03,621
- What? - I'm never nosy...
873
01:01:03,622 --> 01:01:05,692
outside of work,
874
01:01:05,861 --> 01:01:07,792
but I don't want to see the new staff struggling.
875
01:01:10,991 --> 01:01:12,201
Do you want to...
876
01:01:12,962 --> 01:01:14,701
do it right this time?
877
01:01:16,172 --> 01:01:17,332

Exclude Jang Ho Woo...
880
01:01:53,602 --> 01:01:56,271
from major tasks from now on.
881
01:01:56,272 --> 01:01:58,240
Let's dig into the data on Sang Ah Group first.
882
01:01:58,241 --> 01:02:00,381
Do you even know what this is about?
883
01:02:00,482 --> 01:02:01,712
I want to help you.
884
01:02:01,781 --> 01:02:02,811
Do I need a reason?
885
01:02:02,812 --> 01:02:05,981
Yesterday's enemy may become today's comrade.
886
01:02:05,982 --> 01:02:07,451
Vice President Han, you know him too, right?
887
01:02:07,482 --> 01:02:09,820

Sang Ah Group make the slush fund.
890
01:02:13,392 --> 01:02:15,361
I'll visit you at Taeil Accounting.
891
01:02:15,431 --> 01:02:18,561
Why are you obsessed with Sang Ah Group's slush fund?
892
01:02:18,562 --> 01:02:20,502
She wouldn't do that. I know her.
893
01:02:20,661 --> 01:02:23,771
You have no clue who An Seung Yeon really is.
894
01:02:23,772 --> 01:02:25,371
Why are you acting up again?
895
01:02:25,372 --> 01:02:27,301
I'll give you the proof.
