Why are you available all the

time? don't you have friends.

You are my friend. You

have no friend, too.

I have many friends if I want. If I have

time, I would rather make more money.

Please enter your

personal secert number.

What are you looking at?

Never see a rich girl?

Let's go.

How come you're so rich?

None of your business!

How come you're so poor?

That's really a lot of money!

Let's go, get smart.

How about teaching me?

You have to be born with that talent.

Chinese New Year's Eve 1987

Where did you get so many coins?

The bank, of course!

Idiot! After dinner,

After dinner, the customers

will come pouring down.

Look at you, a young entrepreneur.

You have a share too. Rather

small share though, only $1.000

But, my aunt said, only Mainlanders

love Teresa Tang's songs.

That's exactly the point.

You know how many Mainlanders

are there in Hong Kong?

The paper said 20% of Hong Kong population

is Mainlander. They are all over.

They are just not

recognizable, unlike you.

For example, between you

and me, 50% is Mainlander.

You've got a point.

Comrade Li Xiao-jun, we're

gonna make a lot of money.

Golden songs from Teresa

Tang, just $28, cassette tape.

Forty dollars for record.

Rain or shine, you

gotta buy Teresa Tang.

Buy Teresa Tang, and safe it for rainy

days. Teresa Tang's greatest hits!

Do you have Alan Tam's greatest hits?

No.

Let's go.

The best of Teresa Tang, great price.

A real bargain, never before.

Prettiest voice in China. Your for $28

Teresa Tang's golden hits.

Come get it while stock last.

It's hot.

So many customers on the

other side. Such a long line.

Let's sell milk next year.

Lunar New Year's Eve

last year in Guangzhou,

My cousin and I sold 4.000 cassettes.

Aunt said if you are a fan of teresa Tang

everyone will think you're a Mainlander.

So people won't buy the

cassettes even if they're fans.

You said you were in Guangzhou?

Last year I was.

So was the year before,... and before.

But not this year.

I came from Guangzhou.

I knew it! We are comrades.

No way! We speak Cantonese.

We get Hong Kong TV. we are

so much closer to Hong Kong.

Right, your look, your gesture

your face, your hair are so Hong Kong.

You're just pulling my legs.

Better than you, using

me the whole time.

So, why didn't you stop me?

Had I stopped you, you probably wouldn't be

my friend. Besides, I've got nothing to do.

I don't want to lose my

only friend in Hong Kong.

Actually you're my only friend too!

Last lunar New Year, I stayed over in Xiao

- ting's place.

It was late. We were hungry.

We made dumplings together.

The dumplings were yummy. You know,

Wusih people love eating dumplings.

I am full, I can't eat any more.

It's a nice place. Isn't it noisy?

Not really.

Let's clean up.

The rain has stopped.

Give me some water.

Your hands are so cold.

Really? I am leaving.

I'll get you a coat.

I am sorry.

It's alright.

No, it's enough.

It's cold out there.

So ugly.

Hong Kong calling Fang Xiao-ting.

Xiao-ting?

Xiao Jun, I've waited for

your call. Have you had lunch.

I was thinking about you

last night. Is everything OK?

It's a bad connection.

I've got the stuff you sent me.

The sweater you knitted...

I am wearing now.

Really? But I can't see it.

Xiao-ting.

Yes?

I love you.

eh??

It's lunar new year.

Got to say it again.

Sausage Mcmulfin, it's new on the

menu. Buy two get one teddy bear free.

I'll get you a half dozen,

send them home to your folks.

What's the matter?

The money you owe... I

think I should help out.

Take it back, please!

I'll take my responsibility.

What responsibility?

The money you owe. Will get you in

trouble. They're loan-sharks, you know?

Don't worry about me.

I've found a buyer today. Eight dollars

per cassette. He's gonna take it all.

Eight dollars each?

You're gonna loose a lot.

Of course.

So why are you selling?

What else can I do? It's

better than total loss.

That's life! No pain, no gain.

But I'll be better next time.

Last night...

Do we have to talk about it?

I don't know what it was last night.

Last night... it was rainy cold.

We were two lonely people

keeping each other warm.

Did you call home?

Yes.

Go home. You have to work tomorrow.

Li Chiao.

Happy new year.

Prosperity.

To happiness.

To money.

To longevity.

To a jackpot.

To good health.

To a mercedes.

To a better life.

To... friendship.

Who was that?

Sir Jeremy. You knows him.

I meant the girl.

Oh, she is Cabbage, my

neighbour. She is a hooker.

You're rude to call her that.

But that's what she is.

Dear Xiao-ting.

Lately, I... I Have...

Dear Xiao-ting, I...

Jeremy is going steady with Cabbage.

How do you know?

They go to the love motel all the time.

That doesn't mean they're going steady.

But even if they are, so what?

But Cabbage is a hooker!

But she makes more money than you!

Why all your bras are so hard?

Cause I am big.

Why do you wear swimming

trunk instead of underwear?

Dear Xiao-ting,

Dear Xiao-ting. I have been busty lately. And

I have not been writing much. Don't get mad.

I'm senior now at the english class.

And I've been promoted at work.

Everything is fine.

Don't worry about me.

I've just made a new friend. He's

going to make me a junior chef.

A chef can earn a lot of money.

A chef in Hong Kong can earn

over ten thousand a month.

Xiao-ting. I thing I'm one lucky guy.

Wrong again, can't you

remember the pin number?

Think again.

This is the third and

the last try. You sure?

Your card retained,

please contact the bank.

I told you.

It's gone now Move over, it's my turn.

Come on, cheer up.

It's no big deal,

just apply for new one.

How long would it take?

The balance amount $32.639,91

Bingo. People said Yen is rising.

Who is Yen?

My brother.

Get serious. Even the grandmas make

money off stocks and foreign exchange.

Not the grandmas who

buy chicken from us.

They just don't want to let you in on

it. Not everyone treats you as nice I do.

You know? Stock and shares are national products of Hong

Kong. Just like oil in the Middle East. Durians in Thailand.

If you want to be rich in Hong

Kong, you must buy stock and shares.

Can you teach me?

Teach you again? You've

drained all my knowledge.

You line up to buy a new apartment?

No, we are paid to line up

for the real estate agency.

So are we?

How much do they pay you?

Five thousand for a unit.

Five thousand? We are

paid three thousand only.

They're getting 2

thousand more per unit.

Lucky, we are used to

lining up in the Mainland.

I guess they're all your

comrades here. Lots of training.

See, a big fight over

2 thousand dollars.

It's hot tonight. People are grouchy.

I think they are stuck in a tiny apartment and fight

over bread and butter for the rest of their lives.

Come bed-time, everything

will be alright.

It takes a lot to come to Hong Kong. I'm

not gonna waste my life away like them.
