the company thus far,
we're offering you the option
to resign from your post.
Else prosecution by the company in the Hong Kong Government
shall be held to the fullest extent without leniency.
I'm in Corporate Sales.
You know, take clients out,
make sure they're entertained.
I see.
Respectfully yours,
An independent third party acting
on behalf of the company Fei and Chang
and its shareholders.
[In Cantonese]
Why are you packing?
You disgraced your father's memory.
[In Cantonese]
What's going on?
[In Cantonese]
What is the matter?
[In Cantonese]
Do you have to do this?
[In Cantonese]
I didn't do this!
I really didn't think
you had it in you.
You've got those Fei and Chang pansies
running around with their panties around their ankles.
Hey, see that dude over there?
Yeah.
That's my buddy, Du Lei Lo Mo.
He's the man around here, really friendly guy,
go introduce yourself.
OK.
Hey, Du Lei Lo Mo?
Hey, Du Lei Lo Mo?
[In Cantonese]
Ha? What the f*** are you talking about?
You're all right?
Yeah.
Hey, why don't you
seat your punk ass down?
[In Cantonese]
F*** face!
- What the f***, dude?
- Chinese lesson.
- What did I say?
- Go f*** your mother.
But hey, speaking of mothers,
hold that thought.
We got something for you.
- Happy Birthday!
- Happy Birthday!
What?
How did you guys...
I'm the king of intel, bro.
Make a wish.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Happy Birthday to me!
- Oh, yeah! Wish!
- Whatever, man. Wish!
Go back him up, James.
Hey, I think we, uh,
start off on the wrong foot.
Do I know you?
Well, that depends.
Look, it's uh, it's my birthday.
Do you mind joining us for a drink?
I don't drink with neanderthal bankers.
Look, I think you have me
mistaken for somebody else.
Let's see. You're a trader.
Supercapitalist, inc.
Trying to dissolve a company so he can gain
monetary rewards in a short term while
destroying lives in the long term.
Does that about sum it up?
Well, that guy sounds like a real a**hole.
No, I'm a farmer.
- A farmer?
- Yeah.
I have a little part of land in China,
grow corn,
work the bio field.
Help make the world a better place.
Conner, cut the crap.
So you do remember me?
Yeah, I remember you making a complete a**hole
of yourself in the board room.
Yeah, I'm just trying to making peace here.
Make peace?
You make peace?
No, more like you want a piece.
I know guys like you.
You think you're all entitled.
Grow up in a rich family,
go to an Ivy League school.
You show up in Asia thinking
the world is your playground.
Right behind your ears,
[...] my hair.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Saved by the slap.
Funny.
Look, you're really serious about making a difference,
here's my card.
Aw... ho, ho, ho.
Do I have a good one for you today?
Fei and Chang Enterprises, sell your babies.
Sell your children, sell your girlfriends.
Your life is over. Fei and Chang,
One [...], 'cause you're [Bleep]
The big financial news of course is
Fei and Chang and the future of its CEO, Donald Chang.
[In Cantonese]
Of course this a**hole has to go.
[In Cantonese]
I've lost so much money!
I've lost money 5 years in a row.
So, absolutely.
[In Cantonese]
So many Hong Kong people their savings because of him,
[In Cantonese]
yet he's so rich himself.
[In Cantonese]
If he really wants to do something good,
[In Cantonese]
he should share his wealth.
It's called "the poison pill."
Essentially, we are diluting
the number of shares currently in the market.
When we increase the number of shares,
stock price goes down.
So basically, what you're saying is
I should increase the number of shares available,
in order to hurt the share price?
Exactly, and when the stock price goes down,
he loses money.
Well...
Everybody loses money,
at least in the short term.
Look, I know these hedge fund guys,
as soon as the stock price goes down,
he'll liquidate.
And if I do this,
- what are my risks?
- Risks?
Your leadership will be highly questioned,
- you will lose control over everything.
- Richard!
- It's not the time!
- If not, when?
Father, please, I have an idea.
Mr. Chow and I have been working on this program...
Richard, we need results,
not your crazy ideas.
They're not crazy!
What's crazy is you're talking to this guy!
- [Victor mumbling]
- What are you looking at?
Richard, I'm not going to listen.
You're embarrassing me.
Just go!
- Come on, make him listen.
- Richard.
Sorry, Mr. Baker.
Nah, family.
What're you gonna do?
The fact of the matter is,
you still have to pay down those debts that we discussed.
This, just give you all the more reason
to do so now.
I understand.
So, where did it all go wrong?
Seems like from the start.
What does that mean?
[In Cantonese]
Do you know why dad left you with the company?
[In Cantonese]
Because you're his favourite.
[In Cantonese]
Nonsense.
Doesn't matter.
I understand.
It's all right.
[In Cantonese]
At first, I was devastated.
But over the years,
[In Cantonese]
You did really well.
[In Cantonese]
Then I understood what he did
was best for the family.
[In Cantonese]
But you were the cautious one, and I'm too impulsive.
[In Cantonese]
It's time to make a decision.
[In Cantonese]
Once started, if I can't persist,
what then, you take over for me?
[In Cantonese]
Whatever the situation calls for.
I am sure
[In Cantonese] Nevertheless,
father's very proud of you.
[In Cantonese]
And...
[In Cantonese]
What do you want to do about Richard?
[In Cantonese]
- Him?
[In Cantonese]
Did he discuss anything with you?
[In Cantonese]
Him?
[In Cantonese]
He didn't even dare to look me in the eyes.
He has so much contempt for me.
I can't even relate to him!
[In Cantonese]
I'm sorry.
[In Cantonese]
Brother,
You don't ever have to
apologize to me.
F***ing brilliant!
They're on the run.
We've got the market in a frenzy.
Start September, [...]
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't sell.
Don't sell. Keep the pressure on.
This is good.
Yeah, what'd I tell you about taking risks?
I need a big trade out there
to show these investors that this is the one.
All right.
I got to go, champ.
OK.
Yeah, it's me.
Now, look,
you said this was guaranteed.
I had the entire front
riding on this trade,
if I go down, you go down.
Get it done.
So what do you want, Conner?
Well, with all the press
that's been going on,
I... I just thought we should talk.
Talk?
You want me to tell you everything I know,
and then after having a drink or two,
up in your hotel room.
Yeah, I'm sorry, Natalie.
I wish we met under different circumstances.
Different circumstances wouldn't have
changed anything.
So you got me all figured out, huh?
You see, I'm this monster,
you think any other fund
is gonna treat you any differently?
If it's not me,
it's gonna be somebody else.
That is so irresponsible.
And that's the thing that got us
into this mess in the first place.
