Numbers (넘버스: 빌딩숲의 감시자들)

Ji Soo.

I'm Joyce from HK Private Equity.

Let's get the meeting started.

As mentioned in our report,

the demand for construction that requires 3D printing...

will only go up considering...

the prime cost and convenience.

If we apply this technology to just ten percent...

of future annual housing constructions,

Soma Tech would be more than capable...

of repaying what they owe Jisan Bank.

So I believe forcing Soma Tech, a company with a high possibility...

of surviving on its own, into a workout is wrong.

- Accountant Jang Ho Woo. - Yes?

An accounting firm doesn't decide right from wrong.

It decides whether something will be a profit...

or a loss to our client.

According to your report,

Soma will need cash injections at each step of the process.

Aren't you just saying...

they'll borrow more money to make a product to sell?

Jisan Bank, our client,

has no intention of loaning Soma Tech any more money.

Have you forgotten we're here because they failed to repay...

what they already owed?

Is that all?

Thank you.

There's a demand for the product,

but your report doesn't say...

how much will sell and at what price.

If it's a crime to tacitly encourage people...

to do business with other people's money,

this would equal murder.

The output would affect the price,

but you offer no rational presumptions.

You didn't even state how much this venture will tie down.

Do you expect us to save the company...

without checking the cash flow?

Even if Soma Tech's product sells well,

will they use down payments to solve the cash flow problem?

What if the buyer pays with a promissory note instead?

Will you run to a bank again?

You have a habit of asking to be bailed out.

A blind racehorse only cares...

if the doctor will put it down or not.

Even if it can never fathom...

the mind of a better who reads the big picture,

out of the many options,

we're stuck with a tech-savvy craftsman.

Why should we help Soma Tech and take on the owner risk...

of a CEO who doesn't know business?

Isn't it obvious you should've come up with a reason?

A brand new technology?

Are you wanting compliments...

and not money?

Please help Haebit Construction.

I beg of you.

I know you don't like me.

But please help them out.

Tell your father...

it was a reasonable decision.

Sir.

Mr. Han.

Mr. Han!

HK Private Equity...

will have no problem taking over Soma Tech.

One must take what they bit.

Am I wrong, Mr. Han?

Ji Soo.

"Ji Soo?"

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

I get if you never wanted to see me again,

but you could've called me and let me know you were fine.

Do you know how worried I was?

I don't need you to worry about me.

You didn't already forget what you did...

to my dad and his company, right?

Ji Soo, back then...

The Jang Ji Soo you knew has gone.

You must know that by now.

Ji Soo.

What are you doing here?

What happened to you? Why did you disappear?

Later. I have nothing to say now.

HK Private Equity's Joyce Jang...

is the daughter of Haebit Construction's Jang In Ho?

Soma Tech's in the same position Haebit Construction was.

I bet she came here...

to kill it off and take it.

If she were...

to realize I swapped the Haebit Construction report,

what happens then?

Are you worried...

you'll get singed...

when the whole deal might fall though?

Ji Soo.

She always came to...

my grandma's cafeteria with her father, Mr. Jang.

To me, Mr. Jang was a father figure.

I had no blood relatives,

but I had a huge family.

She disappeared the way she did,

only to reappear like this.

When did you realize I knew her?

I saw a photo the day I went over for some wine.

You won't...

leave her like that, will you?

Ji Soo, let's talk.

Let him be.

Ji Soo, open the door.

I didn't think she'd leave you outside.

What are you doing here?

She has changed a lot.

Don't mess with her.

I really won't hold back this time.

Watch how I open a door that you can't open.

VP Han Je Kyun is here.

If there's something you want,

you need to change too.

This is my warning to you as your father.

I couldn't find her anywhere when I was looking for her.

Why did she have to...

show up like this now?

What other reason could there be?

Of course, I came to work.

If this is about you and President Jang In Ho of Haebit Construction...

and about me and Mr. Han Seung Jo,

I'm disappointed.

Just like what you said to me before,

this is just business for me too.

It's not anywhere else...

but HK Private Equity of all places.

I didn't realize you had a talent for surprising people.

I heard that you majored in English literature.

It's not like people work at private equity firms.

Money does all the work.

Such a little thing is getting on my nerves.

You must be busy.

I'm sorry to intrude.

Just treat me the same way...

as any other client.

Will do.

Be polite...

and respectful.

Well, that's not too hard.

We're stuck with a tech-savvy craftsman.

Why should we help Soma Tech and take on the owner risk...

of a CEO who doesn't know business?

A brand new technology?

You have a habit of asking to be bailed out.

Hey. You've tormented us enough.

Just tell us!

Were you fired?

Hey, just tell us the truth.

Did you beat someone up?

Just say it!

- Gosh, isn't he so obnoxious? - He is.

If, by chance...

If you guys meet Ji Soo,

what would you say to her?

Ji Soo.

You've gotten even prettier.

I'll say, "My grandma's food tastes a little better."

Hey, what I said was better.

I wanted to tell her that I became an accountant.

I wanted to brag that I work at a huge accounting firm.

And there was something...

I had to do with her.

Do it.

You can do it. What's the problem?

Do it.

Gosh, you punk.

It's okay.

Everything will get better.

You have to do everything you want to do.

I know that. You just have to do it.

Gosh, Ji Soo is a great drinker too.

Seriously, she drinks so well.

Joyce Jang is well-known among our firm's Hong Kong branch too.

She started as a part-timer who ran errands like serving people tea,

and within a few years, she went all the way up to C-level.

Is there really a need for all this?

It's a Ricardo.

Please. Those are the only three left in this world.

What in the world are you doing?

There is only one now.

And I can ask whatever I want.

Seeing how she achieved the impossible,

she must've lived such a dogged life.

But is there something going on at the Seoul headquarters?

I just asked because several people asked me about Joyce Jang today.

What?

I think that's good.

You should stop poking around at Ji Soo.

Had I known...

that girl had such guts,

things might've turned out a lot better than now.

That sounds like...

Ji Soo can't be my partner...
