Didn't you get us shares in NT Land?

Yes.

All of us here...

...gave you land and grants...

...so as to fight Uncle To.

What the hell...

...is Four Aces City?

Uncle To croaked.

You think his daughter

will give you shares?

Think again!

We have grants and land...

...so why not do it ourselves?

Am I right?

Four Aces will be...

...the second Ding high-rise developer!

Ding high-rise.

High-rises?

How will you pay for it?

Good question!

The infrastructure is in place.

We're just putting up buildings...

...not much money is needed.

The 4 of us will put in a billion.

How much are you willing to invest?

Decide for yourselves.

A billion? I can manage that...

...in sperm count.

Listen to me.

Come on.

Look outside.

What world do you see?

That's our world!

We've more than a thousand rights.

We'll keep buying and building.

Phase 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

We'll have the biggest development.

Right?

We're talking billions.

If I can get a share of that...

wow

I'll bring back Chinatown Night Club.

Great minds think alike!

Count me in!

Sure!

Let's discuss this.

This is how Uncle To started.

A bunch of morons.

We'll find a broker...

...to play a few tricks...

...to dilute their shares.

We'll fork out $100 million...

...but call it 1 billion.

We'll be in charge anyway.

As Four Aces Corp...

...of course we'll run the show!

Why bother?

Those morons won't even understand!

So you think we're morons?

You are son of a moron!

Calm down, it's a misunderstanding.

Calm down.

You morons.

Leave my dad alone!

Don't fight!

Silent!

Hey, look at this!

Bunch of f***ing hicks.

Morons!

Here, a little something.

No need.

Just a small token.

Thanks.

Why are you here?

I told you to stay away!

Keung got away!

Did you let him go?

So...

So we've wasted our time.

You let Keung get away...

...how can we work together?

Joe...

...give me a hand.

Joe...

...it's over.

Get out of here.

What about you?

Sit down!

Calm down.

Step aside.

Keung...

...how much do you want?

You'll pay whatever I ask, right?

Keung.

I've nothing to do with this.

Neither do the bosses I work for.

You know that.

Uncle Keung.

It will be fine.

Trust me, it's OK

Hey, pal!

When did you get out?

About a month ago.

Why didn't you call me?

I've been busy!

Really?

Who are you spying on now?

Auntie Gil sold me this land...

...for $1,000 per sq ft.

It's in a "green belt"

It's worth much less than that...

...only $200 at most.

Auntie Gil fooled you!

Didn't you say...

...land wasn't for trading?

I wanna find out what it's for.

Fine.

I'll teach you.

Are you all right, Paul?

Keung, my wee wee's gone!

It got scared and shrank.

You're gross, Fu!

"God'll never let the kind be bullied"

Shut up, Chuck, it's catching up!
