War of Faith (追风者)

My name is Wei Ruolai.

I'm from Jiangxi.

My family was poor,

so I came to Shanghai with my brother to earn a living.

I work and study

at an accounting school at the same time.

In order to not go hungry,

I occasionally take a risk

and help check accounts for my fellow townsmen in gangs.

Mr. Qian,

I've figured it out.

Hurry up.

There's indeed something wrong with the account.

There are 14 suspicious calculations.

How is that possible?

You're just a poor student.

What do you know about accounting?

Shut up!

How big is the difference?

Over 3,000 yuan.

Over 3,000 yuan.

No, Liang.

Mr. Qian,

he truly is good at accounting.

You can't tell from the surface.

You need to examine it with the operations.

Take this one as an example.

A small cargo ship made more than

100 trips from Shanghai to Ningbo in half a year.

It means they had to make a round-trip every day.

If they really did this,

they wouldn't even have enough time to unload the goods.

No.

There's also this rice deal.

This...

It's not like that.

We'll talk about the details later.

Liang.

Get up

Liang! Liang!

I'm innocent!

I've worked with you for over 20 years.

How can you believe an outsider?

Liang!

Spare me, Liang!

Mr. Qian.

This...

Mr. Qian, this can't be necessary.

An outsider like you

has no say in the gang's business.

Yes.

Changsheng.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for helping me catch the thief.

I owe you a favor.

You can come to me

if you need help in the future.

Thank you, Mr. Qian.

Thank you, Mr. Qian.

You haven't graduated yet, have you?

Not yet.

Graduation...

I took the graduation exam,

but I haven't gotten the diploma yet.

Maybe it's because

I'm from Jiangxi.

If you can't find a job, you can come work with me.

We happen to need an accountant.

The salary can be negotiated.

I'll arrange an apartment for you.

No one in Shanghai

will dare to mess with you.

What?

Do you look down on the people from the streets?

No, Mr. Qian.

Thank you for thinking highly of me,

but I've already decided where to work

after graduation.

Is there a place better than Hengmei Trading Firm?

Chief Deng.

Tunan.

How come you're picking me up personally?

You must be tired from travelling.

It's my duty to pick you up.

You've had a few meetings in a row. It's tiring.

Not at all. Let's talk on the way.

Let's go.

The Central Bank has a long way to go.

Kong Yongzhi

really put me in a difficult situation this time.

The aim of the Nanjing Convention

is to carry out the financial domination strategy

to the end.

But look at the financial industry in Shanghai.

It's very complex.

The capital of the Central Bank

is still lacking when compared to the four major banks.

It gives me a headache.

It depends on human efforts.

Look at Chinese history.

No businessman has ever been above the political regime.

Fine, I won't argue with you.

Chief Deng,

have you lost confidence

before the battle has even begun?

I really don't have confidence.

Do you?

This is Qibao Street.

It's where I live.

The residents are a mixed bag and it's very run-down.

People call it a slum.

The environment is hard to explain.

Fortunately, the rent is cheap

and the neighbors are kind to me.

After being away from home for many years,

I gradually

started treating this place as my home.

Did you buy meat?

Wei, you're finally back.

Save some meat for me tonight.

Wei, you're back.

Wei, you're back.

Wei,

did you buy meat?

You can't do this.

You always do this here.

Play against me yourself if you dare.

Do you dare to play a game for one yuan?

I don't have that much money.

I won't play.

Don't get involved if you have no money.

Wei.

What is this?

You're back.

Ms. Zhou.

I'm going to the stock exchange.

Let me tell you.

Didn't you tell me last time

there's a stock that market makers are influencing

and will definitely rise?

Right?

Yes.

Ms. Zhou, you want to buy it?

It's none of your business.

I'm just asking if it's rising or not.

Based on the data and trend, it should rise,

but the stock market is unpredictable.

It's hard to say.

Be careful.

Great. I'll—

Wei.

Please come with me.

Ms. Zhou, I won't go.

Let's go.

No.

I still have meat.

I'm not going.

Ling!

We have meat to eat.

Let's go.

-Thank you for helping me. -Thank you, Wei.

Help me out..

Save some for me.

Okay.

Let’s go.

Five hundred of the Imperial Bank's shares.

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

How many? One hundred shares, right?

Buy 100 shares.

Okay.

I'll buy it for you.

Make way.

Okay, thank you.

Ms. Zhou, I bought it.

How is it?

Look.

See, it's right.

This stock has potential.

It's going up,

you know?

I'm not sure how much it'll increase by,

but I don't think it will fall, Ms. Zhou.

Really?

It'll be too late if you don't buy it now.

Just buy it!

Cover my position.

Buy more?

Cover my position.

I bought too little.

Tunan,

I want to ask

about the progress of

Deputy Director Gao's case.

Let's talk in the car.

Let's go to my car.

My car is more comfortable than yours.

Let's go.

Chief Deng.

This is the fourth time someone has tried to kill me.
