5
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:56,570
<i>When I met Xuezhi,
she was only 20 years old.</i>

6
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:01,330
<i>She was a tram conductor on Route 13.</i>

7
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,040
<i>"The Flower of Route 13" was her nickname.</i>

8
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:16,510
<i>She came from wealth,
and carried herself like an heiress.</i>

9
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:20,680
<i>She practiced calligraphy, played Go,
and collected stamps.</i>

10
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:31,230
<i>She was also learning English.</i>

11
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:34,650
Love.

12
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:38,030
L-O-V-E.

13
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,450
Love.

14
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,450
I love...

15
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:42,740
Then what?

16
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:53,630
<i>She loved "Gone with the Wind".</i>

17
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:56,840
Borrow "Gone with the Wind" for me.

18
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,930
Sure.

19
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:25,240
<i>The first time I visited her
was to return the book.</i>

20
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:26,660
Xuezhi.

21
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:28,710
You're here.

22
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:30,250
I'm here.

23
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:38,760
I finished it. You can have it back.

24
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:41,970
Are you cold?

25
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:45,390
The plum blossoms.
Let me get one for you.

26
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,560
-Let me go.
-What are you doing?

27
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:49,060
Come.

28
00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:56,190
Hurry, my uncle's coming back.

29
00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:00,820
Smell good?

30
00:04:15,550 --> 00:04:18,260
<i>I thought we could be together forever.</i>

31
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,050
<i>But in the end,</i>

32
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,850
<i>the tram reached its last stop,
and I found myself alone.</i>

33
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:32,060
Come in.

34
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,150
<i>That afternoon, Ah Bao prepared
to see Xuezhi one last time.</i>

35
00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:43,490
<i>Everything between them
had reached its end.</i>

36
00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:01,300
You came by bicycle?

37
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:05,340
I've come.

38
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,680
And I've seen you.

39
00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:11,310
That's enough.

40
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:13,020
I'm leaving.

41
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Ah Bao.

42
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:18,900
Don't touch me, my clothes are dirty.

43
00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:19,780
Ah Bao.

44
00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:22,450
Next time you ride the tram,
and run into me,

45
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,320
what would you do?

46
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,040
If I run into you on a tram,

47
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,620
I would say,

48
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:35,790
I need a ticket.

49
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:39,840
If I have a monthly pass,

50
00:05:40,630 --> 00:05:41,960
I would say,

51
00:05:44,050 --> 00:05:45,220
monthly pass.

52
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Ah Bao.

53
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:49,100
Please remember.

54
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:52,060
On my tram, you never have to pay.

55
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:55,600
<i>I last saw her in Hong Kong.</i>

56
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:02,400
<i>Her last words were...</i>

57
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:06,530
Forget you ran into me today.

58
00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:24,590
<i>Xuezhi clung to Ah Bao.</i>

59
00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:28,100
<i>The air was dense with
tangled scent and feeling.</i>

60
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,930
<i>Gently, Ah Bao eased away her hands.</i>

61
00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:40,020
<i>I visited her house
before it was knocked down.</i>

62
00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:42,650
<i>It still smelled of camphor.</i>

63
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,240
<i>The plum tree had been removed.</i>

64
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:52,870
<i>When fate wants to fix someone,
it offers no forewarning.</i>

65
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:54,870
<i>It just strikes.</i>

66
00:06:56,710 --> 00:07:00,040
<i>Overnight, Xuezhi was ensnared
in the past.</i>

67
00:07:00,710 --> 00:07:04,800
<i>Time continued without her,
and I kept her in my memory.</i>

68
00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:33,700
<i>Everything will pass eventually.</i>

69
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:36,040
<i>No more 10 years.</i>

70
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,500
<i>No more reunions.</i>

71
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,540
<i>Only letting go.</i>

72
00:08:00,650 --> 00:08:03,320
Careful, tram coming through.

73
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,570
Next stop, Nanjing Road.

74
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,410
<i>January 2, 1994.</i>

75
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:16,540
<i>Upcoming lotteries were announced
for IPO stocks.</i>

76
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:16,340
{\an8}<i>"Shanghai Fashion Corp announces IPO"</i>

77
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:20,210
"Shanghai Fashion Corp
will officially go public...

78
00:08:20,210 --> 00:08:24,540
on January 10th, on the
Shanghai Stock Exchange as an A-share."

79
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:27,300
<i>Across eight IPOs, the lottery for
certificates of Shanghai Fashion Corp</i>

80
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:29,380
<i>would be the climactic event.</i>

81
00:08:29,470 --> 00:08:31,640
<i>The whole market was watching.</i>

82
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,560
<i>Mr. Cai's biggest concern
was the opening price.</i>

83
00:08:38,730 --> 00:08:39,770
Mr. Bao,

84
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:44,230
our chairman wants
the opening price to be a lucky number.

85
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:47,360
Because this price
will enter our company's history book.

86
00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:52,700
¥11.18. That would be reasonable.

87
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:57,490
First, it's a bit more than double
the offering price of ¥5.40

88
00:08:57,910 --> 00:09:03,000
The initial shareholders
will hesitate about buying or selling.

89
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:07,630
So there won't be too much pressure
to dump shares.

90
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,380
Second, the market's cold right now.

91
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:13,840
The cost of the certificates
we bought on the black market

92
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,890
suggests that the market is pricing
Shanghai Fashion Corp at ¥11 per share.

93
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:23,520
<i>Issued by lottery, these "certificates"
entitled subscribers to new shares.</i>

94
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,020
<i>Before public trading began,</i>

95
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:28,360
<i>subscribers could sell their certificates
on the black market.</i>

96
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,280
<i>Selling meant playing it safe.</i>

97
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,150
<i>Subscribing meant betting
that the stock price would rise.</i>

98
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Besides,

99
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:37,950
this price sounds like one, one, one, ace.

100
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:39,700
Very lucky.

101
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:42,710
This first quarter has seen
so much expansion.

102
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:46,290
Just this week, ¥650 million
in newly listed stocks.

103
00:09:46,290 --> 00:09:49,130
The market needs time to digest that.

104
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,210
Let's be conservative.

105
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:52,510
Open low, go high.

106
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:54,840
Wait for a substantial turnover.

107
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:56,760
Let the price flip first.

108
00:09:57,050 --> 00:10:00,850
Shanghai Fashion Corp was profitable
in second half of last year.

109
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,640
If the annual report comes out,

110
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,940
and earnings per share
is between ¥0.80 to ¥1,

111
00:10:06,270 --> 00:10:10,780
a stock price of ¥20 would mean
a price to earnings ratio below 25.

112
00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:12,990
Plenty of room for the price to grow.

113
00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:16,660
Suppose they issue 10 bonus shares
for every 10 shares held.

114
00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:19,830
Now that would be amazing.

115
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,410
-Congratulations, Mr. Cai.
-Thanks, Mr. Qiang.

116
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:24,580
{\an8}<i>"Prosperity flows. Fortune soars."</i>

117
00:10:23,410 --> 00:10:24,580
Originally,

118
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:28,500
you guys didn't give
our small company a second glance,

119
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:30,590
and allied with Luwan instead.

120
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:34,420
Even we didn't think we had a chance.

121
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:39,680
But in the end,
we were the ones who made it.

122
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:45,310
We only collaborate with the leader.

123
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:48,190
Luwan was the leader.

124
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:51,020
Now that you won the IPO,

125
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,150
Shanghai Fashion Corp is the top dog.

126
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:59,200
Mr. Cai, getting listed is
only the first step.

127
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:02,740
If we integrate industry and finance,

128
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,580
then the value will exceed
the sum of its parts.

129
00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:14,840
I know Southern has a lot of funds.

130
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,130
You could easily push up our price.

131
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,140
But we don't want the pressure

132
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:26,430
and scrutiny associated
with an inflated valuation.

133
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,940
What I'm proposing is to help
Shanghai Fashion Corp's future expansion,

134
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:34,230
and provide refinancing services.

135
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,110
We can help you issue
foreign capital stocks,

136
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:40,700
or get you listed in overseas exchanges.

137
00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:45,410
That's not something
small brokers like WD can do.

138
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,880
Mr. Qiang, let's take
it one step at a time.

139
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,880
Right now, our chairman's top concern
is the opening price.

140
00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:02,180
What are you aiming for?

141
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:07,520
Someone suggested ¥10.

142
00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:12,600
That's Mr. Bao, right?

143
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:16,780
I'm thinking a bit higher.

144
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:21,700
How much higher?

145
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:43,140
Try to push to this price.

146
00:12:48,930 --> 00:12:50,440
Is that not too high?

147
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,310
Risk a pawn to take a rook.

148
00:12:54,980 --> 00:12:56,360
Opening day,

149
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,230
Let everyone miss,

150
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,280
then chase.

151
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,500
Morning, Uncle Ye.

152
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,340
You knew I'll be back, right?

153
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:08,100
I was on my way

154
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:10,850
to fetch you for help.

155
00:14:11,220 --> 00:14:12,890
Stop it.

156
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,190
I know you.

157
00:14:15,810 --> 00:14:17,810
You're not worried.

158
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,860
I read you like a book.

159
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,870
I should be the one coming to you.

160
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,290
Skip the pleasantries.

161
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:38,920
Just tell me...

162
00:14:40,090 --> 00:14:42,590
How do you plan to handle this?

163
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,630
You didn't fetch me.

164
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,090
You must have a plan.

165
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:54,350
I don't want to implicate you.

166
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:57,140
You...

167
00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:03,780
The Walmart order was your lifeboat,

168
00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:07,030
yet you threw it all away.

169
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:13,740
I remember you telling me this.

170
00:15:15,250 --> 00:15:20,250
But to me, Walmart was never going
to be my lifeboat.

171
00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:31,300
You're ambitious.

172
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Fine.

173
00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:34,720
I'll say no more.

174
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:36,310
You take care.

175
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,190
The hotel wants our bill paid.

176
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:45,650
If it comes to it,
just leave this gossip place.

177
00:15:47,660 --> 00:15:49,110
Take one step back.

178
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:03,590
Remember Mei Ping?

179
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Yes?

180
00:16:07,630 --> 00:16:09,930
That day when she came with her gifts...

181
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,260
<i>DECEMBER 31ST, 1993</i>

182
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:15,850
-Happy New Year.
-Happy New Year.

183
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:25,190
-Happy New Year, Mr. Bao. Heading out?
-Happy New Year.

184
00:16:25,190 --> 00:16:26,900
-Is Uncle Ye around?
-He went out.

185
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:30,860
I brought him New Year's presents.
I also wanted to tell him I left No. 27.

186
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:33,950
This is my new company.
Uncle Ye said we should collaborate.

187
00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:35,120
Congrats.

188
00:16:36,950 --> 00:16:37,950
Why are you back?

189
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,120
Forgot something.

190
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:41,920
You have a visitor. I'm heading out.

191
00:16:42,130 --> 00:16:43,540
Uncle Ye, you're back.

192
00:16:43,540 --> 00:16:44,880
I came to see you.

193
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,130
I heard you left No. 27.

194
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:49,720
You didn't persevere.

195
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,720
I'm still in foreign trade,
still learning from you.

196
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,310
These pastries are for you.
Happy New Year.

197
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:03,020
I don't eat sweets anymore.
Thanks, and Happy New Year.

198
00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:06,820
I have to go too. See you next time.

199
00:17:23,330 --> 00:17:26,340
They say you're a user, not a friend.

200
00:17:26,590 --> 00:17:28,420
Now I know it's true.

201
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:40,810
You may be a master.

202
00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:42,770
But sometimes you stumble too.

203
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:46,440
You want to know what's inside?
You'll have to come get it.

204
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,610
I won't ever walk through this door again.

205
00:17:51,490 --> 00:17:53,860
I knew she came with information.

206
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:55,410
I didn't care.

207
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:58,530
She taught me a lesson though.

208
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:02,830
Mr. Bao, want to come in?

209
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:05,880
It's overcrowded.

210
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,930
Leaving?

211
00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:21,930
Uncle Ye was busy. Maybe next time.

212
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,570
Mr. Bao. Please enlighten me.

213
00:18:35,610 --> 00:18:36,660
Yes?

214
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,740
You've always been cold to me.
Do you have something against me?

215
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:44,960
No, not really.

216
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:49,130
But you treat your colleagues improperly.

217
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:51,750
You mean Miss Wang.

218
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
She never wronged you.

219
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:11,730
You wouldn't understand.

220
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,070
You and Miss Wang

221
00:19:15,150 --> 00:19:17,820
have always caught people's attention.

222
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,490
Not me.

223
00:19:20,030 --> 00:19:22,660
I can work harder, no one notices me.

224
00:19:25,410 --> 00:19:27,330
You may not have noticed,

225
00:19:27,710 --> 00:19:29,210
but before today,

226
00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:32,710
you have never spoken
a complete sentence to me.

227
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,720
And "Improperly?" I disagree.

228
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,720
Miss Wang steals too much limelight,
leaving nothing for everyone else.

229
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,890
Her existence,
to someone like me, is poison.

230
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:51,650
The elevator.

231
00:19:57,490 --> 00:19:59,490
People like me take the stairs.

232
00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:01,030
You take the elevator.

233
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:05,580
I also used to take the stairs.

234
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,290
Uncle Ye, you put me in the elevator,
and made me Mr. Bao,

235
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:13,500
trying to climb higher,
and faster, than others.

236
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:16,260
These 2 years, I've slipped on the floor.

237
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:18,510
I've jumped up to the ceiling.

238
00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:20,130
I'm content.

239
00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:24,010
Now I'll take the elevator when I can.

240
00:20:24,220 --> 00:20:26,390
But without one, I'll take the stairs.

241
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:28,310
I can do both.

242
00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:39,860
Always,

243
00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:42,950
One step back.

244
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,450
Understand?

245
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,430
<i>If doing business is an art,</i>

246
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:05,220
<i>Uncle Ye's surely a maestro.</i>

247
00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:12,980
Fine.

248
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:20,070
<i>From 1987 to now,</i>

249
00:21:21,490 --> 00:21:23,490
<i>from floor to ceiling,</i>

250
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:27,370
<i>Uncle Ye was by my side through it all.</i>

251
00:21:28,410 --> 00:21:30,160
<i>He was my best mentor,</i>

252
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,500
<i>and witness to my journey
from Ah Bao to Mr. Bao.</i>

253
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,530
<i>I still remember
the first lesson he taught me.</i>

254
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:05,200
You've heard of the Empire State Building?

255
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,700
Climbing to the top takes a full hour.

256
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:11,370
Plummeting to the bottom?

257
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:13,160
Only 8.8 seconds.

258
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,360
<i>In 1987, Yuyuan Tourist Mart launched,</i>

259
00:22:42,570 --> 00:22:45,900
<i>bringing about stockholding reform
in Shanghai.</i>

260
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:49,240
<i>Seven years later,
Shanghai Fashion Corp made its big debut.</i>

261
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,950
<i>On listing day,
the SSE Index was unpredictable.</i>

262
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,420
<i>With Chinese New Year approaching,
institutional investors were inactive.</i>

263
00:22:57,420 --> 00:23:01,840
<i>Most speculators treat Shanghai Fashion
as a "wait and see."</i>

264
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,170
I hear this stock has big backers.

265
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:06,380
Just buy low, sell high.
Don't try to get fancy.

266
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,720
Has it started?

267
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,010
In a few minutes.

268
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:16,060
Mr. Wang, we're standing by.

269
00:23:16,850 --> 00:23:17,900
Sounds good.

270
00:23:20,270 --> 00:23:23,690
-What's today's fund position?
-¥150 million on hand.

271
00:23:23,690 --> 00:23:27,110
And are the traders and computers ready?

272
00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:29,620
We ran a test yesterday. No problems.

273
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:33,450
At the Exchange, we have
three trading seats all to ourselves.

274
00:23:33,450 --> 00:23:36,290
Just in case, I also contacted
two other brokerages

275
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:41,290
to provide up to five additional seats
to guarantee we can trade smoothly.

276
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,380
We're in position.

277
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,300
The call auction from 9:15 to 9:25 is key.

278
00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:55,520
Make sure my funds are in place.

279
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:57,440
No room for error.

280
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,810
Don't worry.

281
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:03,020
What's the bidding price
you have in mind?

282
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,030
¥10.88.

¥10.88, 5,000 shares.

284
00:24:16,790 --> 00:24:19,620
The first 5 minutes, we watch.

285
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,290
Do nothing.

286
00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:24,880
Let Mr. Bao show how good he is.

¥9.50, 10,000 shares.

288
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,510
Still rising. Chase the market.

289
00:24:32,510 --> 00:24:34,100
-Good.
-¥10.80

290
00:24:34,350 --> 00:24:36,680
-¥10 in just two minutes.
-Pretty good.

291
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,480
Looks like it's still going up.

292
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,980
The price is at ¥10.58.

293
00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:43,690
<i>Mr. Wang, buy a bit if it's below ¥11.</i>

294
00:24:43,770 --> 00:24:45,940
If it goes above ¥11, hold off.

295
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:48,110
Six more minutes.

296
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:50,700
Try to keep it steady around ¥10.

297
00:24:51,030 --> 00:24:54,910
Mr. Qiang won't have quit
just because he's not the underwriter.

298
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,040
Understood.

299

<i>We're four minutes in.
The price has leveled off.</i>

300
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,540
The current price doesn't matter.

301
00:25:05,540 --> 00:25:09,090
What matters is where
the price lands at 9:25 a.m.

302
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:11,680
That's the real battle.

303
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,550
Who's placing orders now?

304
00:25:14,550 --> 00:25:17,930
Mostly just retail investors.
Some of them bigger ones.

305
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:19,430
Buy Shanghai Fashion!

306

Look, the price is going up!

313

<i>Mr. Bao, the price is rising
more than expected.</i>

314

<i>Should we chase it?</i>

315
00:25:49,260 --> 00:25:53,420
Just for a bit.
Let's raise our target a little.

316
00:25:53,930 --> 00:25:56,010
What's our cut-off?

317
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,060
I'll tell you.

318
00:26:00,020 --> 00:26:04,230
Let's see if this wild horse
makes a run for it.

319
00:26:05,020 --> 00:26:08,520
We'll buy too. We want a piece
of that final opening price.

¥14.52, 100,000 shares.

328
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,060
Shanghai Fashion's taking off!

329
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:41,970
A whale has entered.

330
00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:46,520
I've never seen such
a ferocious opening gambit.

331
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:49,060
Bao's been slapped.

332
00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:55,950
<i>Don't take our foot off the gas.
Keep pushing at this pace.</i>

333
00:26:55,950 --> 00:26:57,280
That'll show

334
00:26:57,410 --> 00:27:00,830
investors are optimistic
about Shanghai Fashion's shares.

335
00:27:03,250 --> 00:27:05,750
The price is already approaching ¥15.

336
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:08,880
Three minutes until the
opening price is set.

337
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,710
This is way higher than what Mr. Bao said.

338
00:27:11,710 --> 00:27:13,800
Mr. Cai, it's at ¥15.16.

339
00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:16,630
The hype for
Shanghai Fashion is incredible.

340
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,140
<i>I've never seen anything like it.</i>

341
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:25,180
Mr. Bao, should we keep chasing?

342
00:27:25,390 --> 00:27:28,350
If not, let's hold off on more funding.

343
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:33,020
He's using other people's money.
That's why he's being so reckless.

344
00:27:33,030 --> 00:27:36,530
Shares bought at this price
are going to lose half their value.

345
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:40,700
Since Mr. Qiang likes grabbing shares,
let's satisfy him.

346
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,540
We'll sell 500,000 shares at ¥17.74.

347
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:54,340
Miss, sell half of my shares
of Shanghai Fashion at ¥17.74.

348
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:55,210
Understood.

Should we keep chasing, Mr. Wang?

357
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,120
Understood.

358
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:42,140
That's it.

00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:04,870
-¥18.88!
-For real?

360
00:29:06,450 --> 00:29:08,660
Someone suggested ¥10.

361
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,960
Mr. Bao's suggestion, right?

362
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:14,290
I'm thinking a bit higher.

363
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:16,460
How much higher?

364
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:18,550
¥18.88.

365
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,220
Keeping your word takes true skill.

366
00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:25,390
Such a high opening price.
Their backer must be really powerful.

367
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,930
From here on out, Southern Investments
has a foothold in Shanghai.

368
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,770
The dominant buyer today
was clearly Southern.

369
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,900
Mr. Bao, prepare for the worst.

370
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:41,940
For years, Mr. Qiang and I
have been rivals.

371
00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:43,200
I haven't lost once.

372
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,490
<i>In the stock market,</i>

whether it's stocks or stock traders,

00:29:47,740 --> 00:29:50,410
we can't let our emotions get involved.

375
00:29:50,410 --> 00:29:52,620
He's the one acting emotionally.

376
00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:58,250
Today, he made me suffer in silence.
Next time, I'll return the favor.

377
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:09,260
Mr. Bao must feel great,
selling 500,000 shares at ¥18.88!

You don't understand.

381
00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:15,730
A company and its backer
have a delicate relationship.

382
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,320
If the backer no longer seems reliable,

383
00:30:22,610 --> 00:30:26,160
their bond can fray
and give the rival an opening.

384
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:29,950
Thank you, Mr. Qiang. ¥18.88.

385
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,540
Other Nanjing Road companies couldn't
even dream of opening at that price.

386
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:38,880
And such a lucky number too.
Our chairman is overjoyed.

387
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,420
A retail investor named Mr. Bao said ¥10.

388
00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:44,880
An institution named Southern said ¥18.88.

389
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,050
Who's the whale?

390
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:48,180
<i>Mr. Cai should know now.</i>

391
00:30:48,350 --> 00:30:50,180
More hands make a stronger flame.

392
00:30:50,180 --> 00:30:51,390
Mr. Qiang, please

393
00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:53,850
<i>continue to advise us.</i>

394
00:30:54,140 --> 00:30:55,850
It's tough being on top.

395
00:30:57,730 --> 00:31:01,440
Now let's see how well
Mr. Bao protects his position.

396
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,150
Hang Bao up.

397
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:10,080
Burn him slowly.

398
00:31:12,660 --> 00:31:16,420
<i>Mr. Qiang's blitzkrieg
shattered conventional wisdom.</i>

399
00:31:17,540 --> 00:31:21,210
<i>The opening of an underdog stock
became a bidding war.</i>

400
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,380
<i>Everyone who missed out
was left feeling bitter.</i>

401
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,890
Shanghai's never seen such a fierce fight
over who would be the main backer.

402
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:34,520
Should we give chase?

403
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:38,020
Move slowly, watch carefully.

404
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:41,320
After taking on such big positions,

405
00:31:41,610 --> 00:31:44,320
they can't get out so easily.

406
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,400
<i>Southern Investments'
triumphant first battle</i>

407
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:51,910
<i>cemented their reputation
in Shanghai's stock market.</i>

408
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:55,750
<i>Mr. Qiang regained
the trust of Shenzhen HQ.</i>

409
00:31:55,910 --> 00:31:57,920
<i>In order to assert his dominance,</i>

410
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:00,380
<i>over the next five business days,</i>

411
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:03,340
<i>he mobilized various holding accounts,</i>

412
00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:05,800
<i>sending bullish signals to the market.</i>

413
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,970
<i>Traders responded,
and Shanghai Fashion surged to ¥25.</i>

414
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:13,930
In five days, Shanghai Fashion
has risen over 30%.

415
00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:15,310
Just buy it.

416
00:32:15,310 --> 00:32:17,140
Even for fun.

417
00:32:18,350 --> 00:32:22,360
For a new stock's share turnover
to exceed 100%,

418
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:27,940
that means every initial share
has changed hands at least once.

419
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,610
I think it can keep going.

420
00:32:31,490 --> 00:32:34,160
Sell 500,000 prize shares to him.

421
00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:35,330
Then,

422
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:37,370
we hold no more shares.

423
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,500
Retreat when the enemy advances.

424
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:44,460
Master his moving pattern.
Then kill him while he's moving.

425
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:50,260
<i>I decide to do the opposite.</i>

426
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:52,550
<i>Engage him in a protracted war.</i>

427
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,010
<i>First step.
Forsake the center, occupy the wings.</i>

428
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:58,680
<i>No territorial spats.No attrition.</i>

429
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,560
<i>Trade space for time.</i>

430
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,100
<i>Lure him deeper.</i>

431
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:06,360
What's this computer for, Captain Cai?

432
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,400
Right now, when you buy shares,
you fill a form at a trading counter,

433
00:33:10,450 --> 00:33:13,280
which becomes an off-floor order,
which then goes through a floor broker.

434
00:33:13,450 --> 00:33:14,990
"Tangible trading," we call it.

435
00:33:14,990 --> 00:33:19,000
Modern brokers use what's called
"intangible trading."

436
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,620
This computer collects orders
randomly into a "tractor account,"

437
00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:27,960
which trades in small batches,
like a retail investor.

438
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,180
In reality, all the money comes and goes
from a single source.

439
00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:36,300
This smokescreen lets people
place trades discretely.

440
00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:40,060
There's immense selling pressure.
Should we jack up the price?

441
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:42,350
We can profit on the way down.

442
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,650
Remember these four words
"Short covering is key."

443
00:33:46,730 --> 00:33:47,770
Got it.

444
00:33:47,980 --> 00:33:50,690
New orders.
Reversal arbitrage.Short cover.

445
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:54,740
We sell at the daily high
and buy back at the daily low.

446
00:33:54,740 --> 00:33:56,580
Maintain the size of our position.

447
00:33:56,580 --> 00:34:00,500
So we're letting prices fall... Why?

448
00:34:00,750 --> 00:34:02,460
To seize the initiative.

449
00:34:02,580 --> 00:34:04,080
To force out Ah Bao.

450
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:05,420
<i>Over the next two days,</i>

451
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:09,090
<i>bearish price trends wiped out
Shanghai Fashion's momentum.</i>

452
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:12,510
<i>Riding rumors of the backer's exit,
Southern's tactics dropped the price</i>

453
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:15,930
<i>to ¥23.80, where it traded
sideways for a few days.</i>

454
00:34:15,930 --> 00:34:18,100
<i>If the price rose, they'd sell.</i>

455
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:19,890
<i>If it dropped, they'd push it back.</i>

456
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:20,930
For now, wait.

457
00:34:20,930 --> 00:34:27,440
<i>They would trade sideways for three days,
drop the price, then repeat.</i>

458
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,440
<i>Such zigzagging strategies
bewildered Shanghai's retail investors.</i>

459
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,780
Why the hell is it dropping like that?

460
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:38,240
Anyone who bought in at ¥25
will be trapped in for a long time.

461
00:34:39,370 --> 00:34:43,870
From ¥18.88 up to ¥25,
then back down to ¥18.88.

462
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,540
Is Qiang running out of steam?

463
00:34:47,290 --> 00:34:50,960
Let's hold off and see
if he's playing dead.

464
00:34:51,420 --> 00:34:54,590
What's Qiang doing, Captain Cai?

465
00:34:54,590 --> 00:34:57,220
1 million shares sold, averaging ¥19.50.

466
00:34:57,220 --> 00:34:59,970
And then buying them back
that day with another account

467
00:34:59,970 --> 00:35:01,640
at an average price of ¥18.80.

468
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,730
In one day, they made ¥790,000.

469
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:08,310
-All while maintaining his holdings...
-That's right.

470
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:11,320
Normally, we buy low and sell high.

471
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,740
This is my first time seeing
someone sell high and buy low.

472
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:20,580
We used to call this move
"helping grandma down the stairs."

473
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,700
Lower the price step-by-step.

474
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:27,000
Short, then cover it,
all while controlling the market.

475
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,670
Helping grandma should be done gently.

476
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:31,670
The way he's doing
it will kill the old lady.

477
00:35:31,710 --> 00:35:33,630
He wants to force us out.

478
00:35:34,170 --> 00:35:38,140
Who says only one person
can use this strategy?

479
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:42,680
We'll secretly join in,
and lend a helping hand.

480
00:35:44,430 --> 00:35:45,600
Understood.

481
00:35:46,690 --> 00:35:50,020
-Start the tractor account.
-It's tractor time!

482
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:53,360
<i>Next, we used a tractor account</i>

483
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,360
<i>to follow Southern's movements
and buy low.</i>

484
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:01,950
Got it. We have our orders.
Start building our position.

485
00:36:01,950 --> 00:36:04,450
Buy 50,000 shares
of Shanghai Fashion in batches.

486
00:36:04,450 --> 00:36:05,910
-Got it.
-Begin.

487
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,710
110687330 buying Shanghai Fashion,
¥17.00, 2,500 shares.

488
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:12,180
{\an8}<i>"Available Funds"</i>

489
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:14,380
110687330 buying
Shanghai Fashion, ¥17.30...

490
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,590
<i>"Total Position: 6,575,800"</i>

491
00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:20,010
A new position's been established.

492
00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:22,470
Now we wait for the annual report.

493
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:23,640
Our profit?

494
00:36:24,220 --> 00:36:25,560
<i>Over 15%.</i>

495
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,350
Both of our funds are profiting.

496
00:36:29,060 --> 00:36:33,270
Let's ambush Mr. Qiang,
and capture him alive.

497
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:35,400
With the price dropping like this,

498
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,530
can Shanghai Fashion handle it?

499
00:36:40,070 --> 00:36:41,910
They'll come to me if they can't.

500
00:36:43,780 --> 00:36:48,250
Mr. Bao, it's down to ¥18.
The head office calls three times a day.

501
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:50,710
What am I supposed to tell them?

502
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:54,750
Don't just make money for yourself.
Do something.

503
00:36:56,550 --> 00:37:01,550
I wanted to start low and rise. Southern
forced you to start high and fall.

504
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,300
I'm a shareholder too. I'll do what I can.

505
00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:10,270
But I can't support the price by myself.
I need your help too.

506
00:37:10,270 --> 00:37:14,310
Nanjing Road's listed companies
all performed well this year.

507
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,360
Shanghai Fashion should also
give its shareholders a reward.

508
00:37:18,690 --> 00:37:20,030
Their bonus share ratios?

509
00:37:20,030 --> 00:37:22,860
Some 8:10, some 10:10.

510
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:26,580
Bonus shares come from profits.

511
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:30,830
Without sufficient profits,
we'd be pawning off our assets.

512
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:36,170
Shanghai Fashion's 100 years old,
but it's still a small company.

513
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:39,130
If you want to change that,

514
00:37:39,130 --> 00:37:42,970
you have to raise share capital,
and give shareholders confidence.

515
00:37:42,970 --> 00:37:47,140
In a weak overall market,
you have to jumpstart that yourself.

516
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,390
I understand your proposal.

517
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,480
But our final plan
will be decided by the board

518
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,690
and voted on by shareholders.

519
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:05,820
We won't be outdone when it
comes to rewarding shareholders.

520
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Captain Cai!

521
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,000
Is it possible for Shanghai Fashion
to offer a high bonus share ratio?

522
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,170
Of course it is.

523
00:38:17,170 --> 00:38:19,500
You know what kind of company this is?

524
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:20,500
What kind?

525
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:22,670
A future Pierre Cardin collaborator.

526
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,300
A target for foreign acquisition,
with strong fundamentals.

527
00:38:26,340 --> 00:38:29,680
-Look at the value investing report.
-Wow.

528
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,730
Newspapers don't joke.
It's the real thing.

529
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:36,810
<i>The next few days, Shanghai Fashion's
price slowly started to rise.</i>

530
00:38:36,810 --> 00:38:40,820
<i>Rumors stated its annual report
would reveal strong profits</i>

531
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:43,320
<i>and high-ratio bonus share issuance.</i>

532
00:38:43,450 --> 00:38:49,700
You look relaxed today.
I take it your investments bore fruit?

533
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:53,540
We'll see after they ripen.

534
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,580
Mr. Cai, I heard you're issuing,

535
00:38:58,710 --> 00:39:03,170
for every 10 shares held,
5 bonus shares and 5 converted shares.

536
00:39:06,220 --> 00:39:10,430
Mere rumors.
We don't have a plan in place.

537
00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:15,100
Our final decision will depend
on the circumstances.

538
00:39:15,390 --> 00:39:17,850
You must reward your shareholders,

539
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:20,650
but also leave room for expansion.

540
00:39:21,570 --> 00:39:24,440
An annual report is an opportunity.

541
00:39:24,530 --> 00:39:27,240
With an alliance like ours,

542
00:39:27,660 --> 00:39:31,660
both good news and bad news
can bring enormous profits.

543
00:39:31,740 --> 00:39:32,910
Good point.

544
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,120
Everyone else coming to us

545
00:39:37,330 --> 00:39:42,380
asks for good performance
and bonus shares.

546
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:46,720
Only you, Mr. Qiang,
didn't have any demands.

547
00:39:47,050 --> 00:39:49,680
I admire your way of thinking.

548
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:56,730
What's Mr. Bao been up to?

549
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,610
They haven't made a move,
but retail investors have been active.

550
00:40:02,780 --> 00:40:04,730
He's only fooling himself.

551
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Follow the money.

552
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:10,910
Find out where it's coming from.

553
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,870
Mr. Bao has two funds.

554
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,710
A factory owner named Mr. Ning.

555
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:21,630
A Taiwanese merchant named Mrs. Lin.

556
00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:24,460
Mr. Bao's managing their funds.

557
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,130
Is this money pooled
in Mr. Bao's own account,

558
00:40:29,140 --> 00:40:31,970
or kept in the owners' separate accounts?

559
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:37,310
Separate accounts.
Mr. Bao is trading on their behalf.

560
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,280
First we cut off his arms,
then we bleed him dry.

561
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:54,080
Yes?

562
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,240
<i>Mr. Ning went to the trading counter</i>

563
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:58,250
and cancelled all standing orders.

564
00:40:58,250 --> 00:40:59,540
He transferred the account

565
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:03,130
<i>to Southern's Zhejiang office,
and sold all the shares.</i>

566
00:41:03,170 --> 00:41:05,960
Cashed out ¥34.1 million. He's gone.

567
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,090
-<i>He also left a message.</i>
-What?

568
00:41:10,970 --> 00:41:12,510
"Leave some petty cash

569
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,510
<i>for the Shanghainese guy."</i>

570
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:19,890
How much did he leave?

571
00:41:20,730 --> 00:41:21,850
Less than ¥200,000.

572
00:41:21,850 --> 00:41:26,320
<i>He sold the shares for ¥34.38 million
and took back his principal plus interest.</i>

573
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,150
<i>This is all that's left.</i>

574
00:41:29,860 --> 00:41:32,200
Mr. Ning wants more profit,

575
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,200
so we'll promise him big profits
as Shanghai Fashion expands.

576
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,420
Mr. Bao's arrangement with Mrs. Lin
all hinges on Li Li's guarantee.

577
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:50,380
If Li Li backs out, so will Mrs. Lin.

578
00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:56,220
Let Mr. Bao taste

579
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,520
his own "corpse removal".

580
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:04,980
Hi.

581
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:08,320
<i>I'll take The Grand Lisbon.</i>

582
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,070
You weren't interested in restaurants.

583
00:42:13,070 --> 00:42:14,910
New day, new rules.

584
00:42:15,740 --> 00:42:17,280
<i>Price is up.</i>

585
00:42:17,540 --> 00:42:18,740
How much?

586
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:20,740
<i>15%.</i>

587
00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:26,880
Too much.

588
00:42:27,090 --> 00:42:29,130
New day, new rules.

589
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,420
<i>When can we sign?</i>

590
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:37,340
Anytime.

591
00:42:39,180 --> 00:42:42,560
<i>The call I feared most finally arrived.</i>

592
00:42:43,350 --> 00:42:45,230
I've sold The Grand Lisbon.

593
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,940
Mrs. Lin's shares will
transfer to Southern.

594
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,740
<i>¥3 million of the profits
will be transferred to your account.</i>

595
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,860
Thank you for telling me.

596
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:01,620
Then I'll cancel my guarantee.

597
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,790
Without The Grand Lisbon as collateral,
Mrs. Lin will cancel the contract.

598
00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:09,170
You'll deal with the consequences.

599
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,760
I can also tell you
that you're not the only buyer.

600
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:18,600
I will fight this my own way.

601
00:43:19,390 --> 00:43:20,430
Win,

602
00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:21,810
2 people win.

603
00:43:22,180 --> 00:43:23,180
Lose,

604
00:43:23,180 --> 00:43:24,680
only one loses.

605
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,690
<i>My whole portfolio: 120 million.</i>

606
00:43:29,730 --> 00:43:32,780
<i>-largely from Mrs. Lin and Mr. Ning.</i>

607
00:43:34,820 --> 00:43:39,070
<i>These funds had to go through WD
before they matched me 1:1.</i>

608
00:43:39,410 --> 00:43:44,660
<i>With half of my funds gone,
so too was the basis for my leverage.</i>

609
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,660
How big is Mr. Bao's position?

610
00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:49,290
He holds 2.8 million shares.

611
00:43:49,290 --> 00:43:50,540
Based on my calculations,

612
00:43:50,590 --> 00:43:53,500
with his remaining assets,
and accounting for our financing,

613
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:56,760
if the stock price falls to ¥10,
he'll be completely wiped out.

614
00:43:59,220 --> 00:44:00,640
Welcome.

615
00:44:07,350 --> 00:44:08,390
Welcome.

616
00:44:09,310 --> 00:44:10,650
Congrats.

617
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:11,860
Good selling price.

618
00:44:12,230 --> 00:44:13,480
Right timing.

619
00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:18,530
Mrs. Lin, you'll need to talk to Mr. Qiang
if you still want The Grand Lisbon.

620
00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:20,660
He'll come to me.

621
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,540
<i>One false step, all false steps.</i>

622
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,250
<i>The capital, so arduously raised,
became computer symbols overnight.</i>

623
00:44:35,550 --> 00:44:37,880
<i>Blood and sweat, all for nothing.</i>

624
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:50,230
<i>That's what killed Mr. A.</i>
