BASED ON REAL EVENTS

Getting comfy

in the CEO's chair, are we?

How come we haven't made a profit

in the last twenty years?

Your father just wanted

the business to break even.

We might have to change

a few things around here.

Nothing wrong with

making a little money, right?

We'll look forward to it, Lars.

What the hell? You want me

to drink myself to death?

I don't even drink this fancy stuff.

Then have me over for a drink, now

that you won't be around the store.

- So, are you happy to be back?

- You bet I am.

Home is where the heart is.

- What's that a-hole doing here?

- Well, I'll be damned.

You must be young Mr. Halbo.

Congratulations.

Christian Storgaard

of Storgaard Contractors.

- Forgive me for not shaking hands.

- My father is just down there if...

- No, this is for you.

- Thank you.

I was thinking... How about we

meet for a drink sometime?

To talk shop? I believe we could

be of mutual benefit to each other.

Excuse me. Could I just

have your attention, please?

Willy... I just wanted

to say a few words to you.

My old master. When I first

came to this company -

I never thought I'd be here

twenty years on to see you retire.

But I never could leave this place,

because we're all one big family.

Anyway, we went on

a trip down memory lane...

and found a little something.

He was a handsome stud

back then, eh?

And Junior is in the picture, too.

He set off into the world

after serving his apprenticeship -

but now he's come back

to take charge of the company.

And I'm not quite sure

how I feel about it.

Back when we were kids

playing soccer -

I was the captain. I was in charge.

But I guess I'll get used to it.

Anyway, Willy...

We're here to bid you goodbye.

And I just want you to know

that you've been a great teacher.

But above all you've been a great

friend and I thank you for that.

Get up here.

Thanks, buddy.

Well, I'll be.

That was a surprise.

I don't really know what to...

Lars, come on up here.

These are for you.

Take good care of the place, okay?

I promise.

I'll be back around three.

Start looking for people.

If we land this deal

we'll be needing some extra hands.

Netkoeb would like a quotation

for some new ceiling fittings.

- I'll look into it later.

- Hey, Willy.

- Bored with retirement already?

- I just came by to pick up my booze.

And here I was hoping

you'd forgotten about it.

Beautiful office.

How much did that cost you?

- Did you sell the old printer yet?

- You should be happy I was stingy.

That's why you're not left

with a company in debt.

- See you.

- Fingers crossed.

- Where are you going?

- City Hall.

Please take a seat, gentlemen.

Quiet, please.

Moving on to the contracts for

electrical and sanitary facilities -

concerning the construction

of Svalevaenget Dormitory.

The first tender is from

Svendsen & Son.

The Svendsen & Son tender

is 3,650,000 kroner.

Next up is Storgaard Contractors.

3,760,000 kroner.

Moving on to

Halbo Electrical & Plumbing.

The tender from

Halbo Electrical & Plumbing is -

2,850,000 kroner.

The final tender is from

JP Construction and it is...

3,420,000 kroner.

This means that Halbo Electrical

& Plumbing wins the contract -

with a bid of 2,850,000 kroner.

- Didn't see that one coming.

- We'll be moving on to...

Lars Halbo? Can I talk to you

a moment? How do you do.

Bo Valentin, Director of Sales

at Storgaard Contractors.

I just wanted to congratulate you.

You really took us by surprise there.

Well, it's all about

nailing the price.

Would you have time for

a cup of coffee and a chat?

What for?

I know you've met our CEO,

Christian Storgaard.

At your father's reception.

We were thinking that -

since you're joining the big league

we should get to know one another.

Discuss how best to cooperate

on future tenders.

- I'm not interested.

- At least think about it, Lars.

- Here you are.

- Thanks, but no thanks.

You're fricking awesome.

Way to go!

We're done renovating soil pipes.

And changing strip lights.

We're moving up in the world!

Say, Knutte...

I'm going to need a foreman

I can really rely on.

- Would you be up for it?

- Anything for you, my man.

I'm the captain, remember?

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

That really showed them, huh?

Well done, Lars.

- Check this out.

- What's this?

Our next invitation to tender.

- You want to go for that, too?

- Sure. Go power up the calculator.

Isn't that a bit of a mouthful?

I've been involved with

building half of Dubai.

You don't think I can handle

a few senior homes?

Rikke?

You scared the life out of me!

- Why are you sitting there?

- Because I was tired.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi there.

- How did it go?

- It went well. We got it.

Of course you did.

- Where are the kids?

- Betty is at a friend's house.

We have to pick her up

around seven thirty.

And Andreas is out playing soccer

with some of the boys.

I see.

I told you they'd settle in.

- That you did.

- Being cheeky, are you?

Don't you give me any cheek!

Jesus Christ! Knock it off!

Stop.

Did I hurt you?

It was totally intentional.

We're not answering it.

Go get it. It could be

something to do with the kids.

You stay there. Don't even move.

Hello again, Lars.

I'm sorry to bother you at home -

but I was a bit put out

that you didn't have time to chat.

I wasn't interested.

What a lovely house.

Beautiful children.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

In the current financial climate

we shouldn't wage war on each other.

We're all in the same game -

and we should really try

to work things out between us.

I guess you didn't hear me.

I'm not interested.

If you insist on taking this course,

you're on your own out there.

- Is that a threat?

- Lars, I don't threaten people.

But if we want to make a profit,

we need to cooperate -

on future tenders.

It's as simple as that.

Good night.

Remember to take good care

of what you have, Lars.

- Who was that?

- Just a business associate.

What?

Didn't I tell you to stay in there?

Isn't that what I told you?

Come here.

Come on, get it in there.

Hurry up.

- Everything good, Knutte?

- Sure thing. No problem, chief.

Only thing is,

we're short on cable trays.

I told Preben, and we should

be getting more this afternoon.

Sounds good.

See you around.

- Hello, Lars.

- Hi.

Some construction company CEO

is in your office. Joergen Persson?

He just waltzed right in.

I thought you knew him.

Hey there, Halbo.

How's the work coming along?

- Do we know each other?

- Joergen Persson, JP Construction.

What can I do for you?

Rumor has it that you mean to

make a bid for the new senior homes.

- And how does that concern you?

- It concerns me a great deal.

You took the dormitory contract.

If you want the senior homes, too,

we need to get a few things straight.

What's this?

It's the tender Halbo Electrical

& Plumbing will be submitting.

We've done all the work for you.

All you need to do

is sign it and submit it.
