Save the dad talk for your daughter, OK?

You've ever been to Hong Kong?

You've even been out of the country, kiddo?

What?

You're giving me the silent treatment now?

I want you to go to Hong Kong,

and lead the Fei and Chang trade.

- That's Morris' trade.

- It's your trade now.

Oh, come on. Why me?

Why didn't you get one of your Princeton inbreeds, ...

Ah, don't pull the college card on me again.

You dropped out of MIT 'cause you felt like it.

You're extremely gifted.

You have the edge your father had.

He could bet against the street,

and be right about it.

You want to know the difference

between him and you?

- Save it.

- He was a winner.

Never made any excuses.

You think that just because you can predict

a few right outcomes that

that makes you a winner?

No.

You're not a winner

until you decide to be one.

Look, I'm not my father.

You wanna bet?

Go to Hong Kong.

Be the man that you were born to be.

Conner,

I'll only be gone for 6 weeks.

I'll call you when I get to Hong Kong.

One day, you'll understand.

Conner, it's your father, he...

he's...

Better watch it!

[In Cantonese] Welcome!

Welcome to amazing Hong Kong, everybody!

Conner Lee.

- Hey, welcome to Hong Kong.

- Hey!

- You must be Quentin.

- Ah... depends on who's asking.

How long have you been out here for?

Oh, in this prison?

8 years.

Come on, I'll introduce you

to all the inmates.

By the way, how's the bus ride?

It was great!

Great? Ha!

It's lame as sh*t!

Just want to get the tourist crap

out of the way!

You're ready to see the real Hong Kong?

You bet.

And here we are.

That's Raj over there, covers India.

He's a pump and dumper.

James, covers Malaysia and Thailand.

He stresses debts.

This is you.

This is me.

So, what do you trade?

I run all the short strategies.

So, you like to see companies burn?

Oh, hey, come on, [...]

the same way back in New York.

Hey, sexy!

Oh, by the way,

can you please also get me that 7588 file?

What was that all about?

Slut.

[...] taken.

But don't worry.

I got your back, bro.

By the way,

where did you get that suit?

Looks like 7448 to me.

You're saying my suit looks like sh*t?

Out here, stealth wealth is a must.

It's a little thing that separates you

from the rest.

First impressions?

No, that's bullshit.

You only get one chance

to make any kind of impression.

That's why we wear the best.

We drink the best.

We drive the best.

When it comes to chicks,

we only do the best.

The most important thing we must learn,

is the "Art of Quang Xi."

"Quang Xi?"

It's your basic relationships with people.

Look, bro, you're in Hong Kong now.

Nothing gets done without

giving great "Quang Xi."

Well...

that...

And one of these.

Come on.

Conner, meet Gary.

Gary's not only the Financial Controller of

Fei and Chang,

he's also a hell of a sailor.

Just the man I'm talking about.

Nice.

Actually I could use some report.

You know what,

too much talking.

Let's enjoy.

"Quang Xi", huh?

Yeah.

Here comes yours now, bro.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Gary.

Hey, Conner.

I got what you need.

Great.

If you can just give me the P&L on the shipping department

and put it on a USB drive.

Sorry, it's gonna take a while.

The system's in need of

a complete update.

No problem.

Oh... it's the Sam Kok.

- What?

- The Three Kingdoms.

Ah, Donald, the CEO,

Victor, his older brother,

and Richard, the heir, apparently.

- You should get going.

- I'll take that.

Gary, who's this?

Conner Lee.

Look, I was just gonna get

some reports here from Gary.

I wasn't notified of your visit.

Well, I don't wanna trouble you with

such trivial matters, Richard.

Well, it's standard procedure in this company

for me to review all reports first.

Gary, next time please inform me of all

special guests before giving out private information.

Yes, sir.

- So when will I receive...

- At least a month.

A month?

I mean, they're just simple reports.

What you might view as simple

may be more complex to others.

I can see that.

Glad we're clear.

Anita, I already told you Mark doesn't like

salt on his eggs.

Sorry, ma'am.

A month? What's the holdup?

I thought you had this.

Sweetie, who's that on the phone?

It's Conner.

Hey, Conner.

Hi, Juliet.

No.

No girlfriend.

Look, I... I don't care what the holdup is,

all right?

We have a 5% share in the company,

for God's sake.

We can do whatever the f...

Can I have a glass of water?

Yes, honey.

It doesn't seem to me [...]

All right, it sounds like

he's got you down on both knees.

So, while you're out there,

why don't you give him a...

Look, I just need more time, OK?

Yeah, fine.

Keep me posted.

Hey, uh, can I have a JD straight up?

May I?

It's a free country.

It's not what I hear.

And what have you heard?

Well, Hong Kong is tragically China.

It can change the side of the road

you drive on just like that if you want to.

And where are you from?

States.

So you don't think the Government

controls you there?

We got the Constitution, freedom of speech.

So you don't think the Government uses the media

to create fear and panic so you'll stay in your little box?

Fear of terrorism, natural disasters, illnesses...

I'm surprised you are able to sleep at night.

I'm Conner.

Natalie Wang.

I see you know a lot about politics.

I study political science, and now I just...

Bust people's balls, huh?

Do public relations.

As in professional ball buster?

Can I get a glass of red wine and a coke

over that table over there?

Thanks.

You're with that guy?

Nice talking to you, Conner.

Come on!

Uppercut!

Nice, one more, come on!

How's the "Quang Xi" today, bro?

[In Cantonese]

Not so good.

Dude,

your Chinese sucks.

Come on, what's eating you?

What's the scope?

The CEO's son.

Ah... Richard Chang.

He's got all data under lock and key.

Typical cock-sucking family hierarchy.

Always getting in the way of our money.

The prodigal son tries to wean himself

from the familial tit,

or trying to prove his cock

is bigger than his daddy's.

What do you think I should do?

What much money you got?

Ha, ha, what do you think?

It's pretty nice.

OK.

We're talking high level "Quang Xi."

Richard already has money and power,

which can buy a lot.

The only thing you can take from him,

is his respect.

Do that, and he may just give you the keys,

to the Fei and Chang castle.

Let's get you up to speed, because tonight,

looks like you're going "mano a mano."

The game du jour is baccarat.

It's simple.

You can bet either banker or player.

Each side gets 2 cards.

Add them up, drop the first digit,

and that's the point.

Closest to 9 wins.

If you came here for anything

to do with the company...

Ah, I just came to play some cards.

Fine.

Fun game.

God, you're so American.

I am American.

And you want everything right away,

and you think you're always right.

That you're entitled to whatever you want,

you can take it if you please.
