- I don't need any help.

- I didn't mean it like that Top.

- Top! I didn't

mean that way.

- I can take care of myself.

I can do it, you hear me?

Top please come back

talk to me. Top don't go!

Top!

- Top I just worry about you. Am I wrong?

- Lin just go home.

Top please come back. Just talk to me.

Top!

Top! Come back!

Uncle,

may I lay beside you?

Sure.

Uncle.

I am such a jerk.

She loves me.

She worries about me.

But I chased her away.

Don't cry.

Could you re-design the

packaging of my snack?

What is the concept of your product?

I want it to be for

youngsters, Korean Pop style.

The brand name is Jay Chou.

But Jay Chou is Taiwanese singer.

Oh he's not Korean?

No.

I think "Tao Kae Noi"

is already good name.

Doesn't it sound old?

Because of the meaning.

Old or not, depends on the designer.

I'm Ittipat.

I'd like to make an appointment with Ms.

Pu. I got a product to present to her.

You didn't make an appointment?

I just finished re-designing

my package this morning.

I want to show to Ms. Pu

right the way so I'm here.

Ms. Pu has meetings all day.

That's okay. I can wait.

Hello.

Sending the fax? Okay.

Hello.

(Thai National Anthem)

Excuse me, I will be leaving now.

I know

Ms. Pu didn't really have

any meetings, did she?

Have you eaten yet?

Not yet.

For you.

Good evening.

- Where is Mr. Ittipat?

- He left already.

Hello mom.

How are you?

What are you doing? Free to talk?

Yes, I am.

What's wrong?

Nothing mom.

Just want to call.

How's school?

Did your grades come out yet?

How did you do?

Hey what is this?

Some kid gave to me.

It's seaweed.

- Can I have it?

- Go ahead.

Bye. See you.

Oops.

My grades are not so good.

It's OK.

I'm happy just knowing

that you're studying.

Hey how's it going sweetie?

I bought some fried seaweed for you.

I've really learned a lot of lessons.

I thought I could do it.

Maybe I am really stupid.

- Here eat for me. Very yummy.

- What? I can eat?

The board concluded that

your product wasn't approved.

It's like every door has been shut.

Top, don't give up.

Grades are no big deal.

In the future you'll have

to confront bigger problems.

- Ms. Boom. I will have a

meeting outside. - Noted.

- Hey your shift isn't over yet?

- Soon.

So my product is approved now, right?

Yes. Congratulations.

You're the youngest

business owner that I've met.

You are working with your family?

Yes. I am.

Next process. You'll have to deliver

your product to our 3,000 branches.

So all together around 72,000 units.

- How many?

- 72000

And 1 month after that, we will

have the GMP inspect your factory.

Oh,

GMP.

I see.

After your factory has GMP approval

then in another 2 weeks,

it's delivery time.

If your total stock's shelf life is less

than 80% from the manufacture date,

we won't let you pass.

I see.

GMP means

Good Manufacturing Practice.

Uncle, how can a

get the money to open a factory?

You are 19?

Yes.

Top,

I really respect you.

You have so much heart.

But you are only 19,

I can't give you the loan.

Your age won't qualify.

A high school grad with 40m Baht debt.

Your building is ready to

be auctioned off for sale.

Your parents aren't here.

I am sorry.

But all that you've done.

I think is really amazing.

You're still young.

Go get your degree.

Are you ready?

All done.

- Count it first.

- OK.

It's bent a little.

- Nice basement.

- I see.

- Amulet must not be bent or crooked.

- Okay.

The background's

pattern maybe betel nuts.

The holy powders will be mixed.

Hey kid, long time no see.

You got new amulet?

No sir, I want to buy my amulet back.

Which one?

That one.

Hey this one is now

worth 3-4 million Baht.

You have that kind of money?

I pawned it to you for only 100,000 Baht

how come you don't sell

me back to same price?

This is a Somdej amulet,

it's worth millions of Baht.

Give me my dad's amulet back!

Watch it. It's on my neck so it's mine.

I said it's my dad's!

You smart ass,

you want to die? Get out of my face.

Go!

You're stupid enough to sell me

for 100,000. I didn't cheat you.

Get out!

A**hole!

Foreclosed. Repossessed by Bank

Here is our factory.

I almost forgot that

we have this building.

I remembered it when

that banker mentioned it.

Including the labor cost then

it's around 1 million Baht.

So I will pay a deposit first.

Usually we need 50% upfront

then we start working.

But if you don't pay me in full,

I will put you in jail, OK?

Hey Toi

Uncle,

if we fail again what will we do?

Don't worry too much Top.

Nobody ever knows.

Sometimes

I feel like I don't think too carefully?

That's good.

If you thought too much,

you'd not come this far today.

Tao Kae Noi factory

Attention:
Ms. Pu

From:
Ittipat - Tao Kae Noi

Tao Kae Noi factory

Hello Ms. Pu

Hi

this is Ton from QA department.

He will check your factory today.

This is just the front

of your factory, right?

Oh actually this is the whole factory.

Please go inside.

Just bribe them.

We won't pass.

No uncle.

I don't want anyone to

blame my parents again.

Trust me please. I have seen a lot.

Even when things look all good

without the money, it

never comes out good.

Sorry I forgot to tell

you the paint is still wet.

I see.

Actually your factory isn't

up to standard, Mr. Ittipat.

Like what?

Like that, the neon

lights have no cover.

Dust can fall into your food.

We are very serious

about the cleanliness.

Ms. Pu.

I will fix this immediately.

- Mr. Chart. Mr. Chart.

- Yes?

Please get someone to put

the cover on the lights.

Yes, sir.

About the cover, I will

get it done right away.

Will

we know the result today?

Mr. Ittipat, there're may

things that are not up to code

like the cover of the lights

and also the water drain.

The way you operate

the sink isn't sanitary

the water must be turned on by

pressing a lever with your foot.

Otherwise, you will re-infect

you hands with germs.

You're also using the wrong alcohol.

This is for cleaning the wounds.

You should use the ethyl alcohol only.

We will go back to make our decision

and I will let you know

again by fax. We got to go.

Bye.

It's okay Top. You've done your best.

We must prepare for

packing and delivery.

We don't know the result yet.

If we wait, we won't make

it in time for delivery.

Dear Mr. Ittipat

- Tao Kae Noi

Checking your ink cartridge

Sh*t! The ink just had to run out now!

I can't read it uncle!

Go look in sunlight.

Approved.

We passed, uncle!

Top, wake up. All the

packages are on the truck.

Hurry up.

Put them up. Carefully.

Whoever is done can

go. C'mon time is up.

Hey more. Hurry up!

Thank you.

I've put everything I have in this.

If this doesn't work.

Then we'll have nothing left.

And I will quit

and stop being stubborn.

I promise.

Excuse me. I'm Ittipat from Tao Kae Noi.

Mister, Why are you here now?

Your schedule was an hour ago.

Sir,

I'm begging you.

We're just a bit late.

Everybody always says this.
