Gangnam 1970 Page #3

---

- Yes, boss.

- Yong Gi, how's taking care of the hotel?

- Yes, I'm doing my best, sir.

Boss, take care of Kyung Pyo, too.

Yong Gi's the one doing

all the hard work, you a**hole.

Kyung Pyo, quit the heroin first.

Yes, sir.

- Let's go, honey.

- Okay.

Hey, I'll escort him tonight.

This way, ma'am.

Yong Gi.

Let me manage the casino

and restaurant here.

Let's split it half-half.

You okay with that?

- Not at all.

- What?

Didn't you hear what the boss said?

You backstabbing bastard!

I took you in and raised you,

and now you're all grown up?

Well now.

Let's not make a scene.

People here will see you

for who you truly are.

That son of a b*tch!

Good.

Good.

- Evening, boss.

- Evening, boss.

Hey, what is this?

Not castrating the gigolo

brought us good fortune, boss.

Hey man!

This place is hopping tonight!

For a swindler,

he sure is down to earth.

Evening, sir!

These are the dancers I manage.

How do you like them?

Good work.

It's the least I can do

for leaving my livelihood intact.

This douche...

Have you told the madame?

- Should I pay her a visit?

- Ah, she's already here.

I apologize for our last meeting.

Chun Ho told me about your situation.

How much do you need?

If you could swing $50,000,

I'll pay it back in 4 months.

That's not pocket change.

Madame, come on.

Help him out.

Look at that earnest face of his.

It's a big favor.

Okay then.

But I want something in return.

I'm looking at lands in Gangnam,

and I need a companion.

What do you mean?

You know how naive farmers are.

It'll be easy pickings to get it for cheap

with a little persuasion.

You want to cheat them out of it?

$5 million from Daehyun Corp.,

$3 million from Geuma.

$2 million from Kyungsin Daily.

That's it.

Guess we're still too short.

The election's just around the corner.

We can't win with just this.

Everyone's saving up these days

due to the recession.

Should I crack down on the Namsan area?

Bastards

They'll come to me

when the communists run wild.

How can a company exist

without a country?

We must regain power before

the communists take over.

I'll pressure them some more.

- Buy up some Gangnam lands.

- Land?

It's all for the good of our nation.

We'll flip the lands

and fill up our war chest.

Will buying up lands in Gangnam

be profitable enough for the campaign?

What if we move the capital to Gangnam?

Sir?

Seoul's overpopulated

and crossing the Han River was so much

work at the start of the Korean War.

That's enough of a reason.

Buy three million square meters for now.

After getting the land, we'll make

an official announcement for development.

You think the market won't be affected

if we move the capital?

Ah yes, I understand your intent now.

There's no time.

See the head of

Kongook Bank tomorrow.

He'll give you a fat check.

Yes sir, I'll take care of it

immediately.

Be discrete.

If word that we're buying up land

ever reaches the President's ears...

we're both finished.

There's no problem when this is

my private business, after all.

I'll take the heat then.

[Third Han River Bridge Now Open]

First time riding in a car, a**hole?

- It's over here, idiot!

- F*** off!

- I got it.

- Damn it!

Don't push me, a**hole!

- My word.

- What is this?

We're in the boonies.

Where's the petting zoo?

You memorized your lines, right, boss?

- Hey, don't forget the plan.

- Yes, boss.

Just be natural.

Big boss is at the laundromat,

and we run the real estate.

We didn't leave the factory for this.

If we arrive in a hard hat,

then we can leave in a suit.

Our day will come soon.

How about getting ownership

of an apartment in Banpo?

The premium ones are like

real estate lottery.

They don't hand those out

to just anyone.

- I could get snipped.

- What?

Men who get a vasectomy

have the advantage.

Overpopulation is enough of

a problem as it is nowadays

so those who shoot blanks

get the upper hand.

Goddamnit.

I could get it reversed,

It's simple!

Hey, Jong Dae! Come on!

- $30 per square meter.

- Forget it, $80. take it or leave it.

$30 is still a lot.

I'll buy the whole lot.

Ma'am, sign with the other one.

One moment please.

This lot is designed to become a park.

- Hey!

- He's coming. Hey.

Lee, a bit to the left.

Your left!

- What are you doing on my land!

- We're surveying the land.

- What for?

- 5 more meters, goddamnit!

You must really be

in need of quick cash.

Just a few days ago,

you wouldn't even sell it for $50.

We got them for dirt cheap

but are we left with anything

after buying up worthless land?

Just you wait.

First, let's buy and sell

the dirt cheap land we acquired

between one another.

That's how we'll drive up the market.

Then when the news

catches the others' interest

we'll sell it in one fell swoop.

How?

Don't you know that property rises

whenever the press shows up?

In any case, the market changes

depending on the whims of the rich.

We just have to use that.

- Excuse me.

- How can we help?

- You're a reporter from the paper?

- About that orchard near here.

Could we meet the owner?

Everyone's asking about that land.

I think we've tricked the fool.

Good.

Now we go in for the kill.

Not at that price!

A Seoul newspaper publisher came by

and I rejected her $150 offer!

- I'll give you $50 more!

- Are you kidding me?

- I'm off.

- Hold on.

We made quite a bit, thanks to you.

The real estate business turned out

to be more fun than I thought.

Korea's tiny.

Just you wait.

There's no better way

to make money.

Here, 100 grand.

Why are you giving me so much?

Half is your pay, the other half

is an advance for the next job.

Next job?

There's an opportunity in Apgujeong.

It's a risky job.

Take care of it.

If you can't pay your debt,

then hand over your land!

- Get in!

- Isn't that Jang?

Yeah, it is.

Bring the pear orchard owner too.

Yes, sir.

Goddamnit, the Youngdeung clan

really did wonders on our ugly duckling.

So it was Youngdeung

who took over this lot.

Madame Min, that fox.

Let's forget Apgujeong.

Let's just do it.

What?

Jang will draw blood

without flinching.

It's delicious.

Back when I was in the orphanage

I envied children on picnics

with their parents eating this.

We could go on picnics too, later on.

Honey, I have to go.

- Already?

- Yang's coming in today.

Make sure you eat all of it.

I'm off.

Baek Yong Gi.

It's been a while.

Good night.

Sun Hye.

Oh, hey.

Coming home now? It's late.

Oh. I was at Jung Min's place.

Why didn't he drop you off at home?

I wanted to get off here.

I didn't tell him about the laundromat.

Everything will come out into the open

soon enough, so you should tell him.

I... should delay the wedding.

Why?

We're about to lose the house,

and I don't want to burden him.

Just focus on the wedding.

I'll take care of the debt.

- Came for a show? Huh?

- Burn everything.

Don't leave anything behind.

- Get the things in the house.

- All of it.
