The Mermaid (Mei ren yu / 美人鱼) (美人鱼)

Four billion years ago, the first marine life formed.

First came the fish.

Then, slowly, other life forms evolved.

Therefore, our ancestors...

...came from fish.

Everyone, come and see this.

Tyrannosaurus from the Cretaceous period.

Ferocious!

Red.

Pong!

Isn't that a gecko?

How else could I get a 15-ton T. rex in here?

I shrank it down using our advanced technology.

There's also the Panthera Tigris.

That's a dog!

Lucky is a genuine Panthera tigris balica.

You call it "Lucky"?

"Lucky" is a dog's name!

"Lucky"? When did I say "Lucky"?

"Lucky"

- Hurry, your turn! - So what if it's called "Lucky"?

It's still a Panthera tigris balica!

Hey, you're expecting a lot for only 10 bucks.

Nature is truly wonderful.

In order to adapt, creatures from land, sea and sky breed with each other.

And humans are no exception.

For example, the scientific name of a man who can fly is "Batman."

In Chinese, it's "Batman." In English, still "Batman."

Miss, why are you eating Batman's ear?

I thought they were chicken wings.

You may not respect Batman, but respect yourself!

Put the chicken wing back!

Not the chicken wing. I mean Batman's ear.

Anything else to see?

Yes, of course, silly.

I've got a mermaid back here.

How did you guess that?

Wow, you really have your wits about you!

Isn't this salted fish?

Specimens are always preserved with salt!

You're a smart girl.

The exhibition's over. Goodbye!

I don't believe you! You're lying!

- Refund! - Right, refund!

Refund! Refund! Refund!

Enough!

I've worked damn hard to run this place!

You idiots want to ruin me? It ain't happening!

Open the door! Let them see it!

Are you sure?

Open it!

I'm a mermaid.

My heart! Help!

Okay, is that really necessary?

Hey, I'm just trying to make a living, okay?

Don't worry, be happy!

Let's take a picture.

Damn you!

Get him!

Let's get him!

10 billion!

10.05 billion!

20 billion!

20 billion, once!

20 billion, twice!

20.01 billion!

20.02 billion!

20.03 billion, 20.04 billion, 20.05, 20.06 billion!

Please, be calm.

20.07 billion!

20.08 billion!

20.08 billion, once!

20.08 billion, twice! Come on!

20.08 billion! Sold!

Mr. Liu, why pay 300 percent more than this land is worth?

Our group wants to develop Green Gulf into an ecologically friendly project.

Such an endeavor cannot be measured in money. Thank you!

Uncle Rich.

- Liu. - Ruo-lan.

Cheng, you're on time today!

You bought Green Gulf and opened a bottle of '90 Romanée-Conti.

I had to be on time for once!

I'm really sorry.

When it's this good, I have to act fast!

Look at this land in Green Gulf.

Spectacular! So beautiful!

Let's celebrate!

Are you sure about Green Gulf?

You don't know anything about real estate!

Have you worked out the numbers?

No.

But Uncle Rich and Ruo-lan did.

No matter how much they bid, I outbid them...

...and always just by one.

The amount of the bid was small! Not even enough to build a toilet!

What did the legendary Bruce Lee teach us?

"Be like water, my friend.

Just go with the flow."

Being invincible is lonely

So lonely

Being invincible is empty

So empty

Stop that awful song!

If Ruo-lan only acquired Green Gulf, it would have been a failure.

However, acquiring Green Gulf in addition to her surrounding property...

...would have allowed her to raise land prices and boost property sales.

You're an idiot!

You bought a piece of crap! There's nothing there!

You've got some nerve, talking about Bruce Lee!

What were you thinking, you idiot!

Mr. Liu is offering us his Romanée-Conti.

Be nice, or he'll change his mind.

Ruo-lan...

...you're adding insult to injury!

I estimate that Liu's project will lose 20 billion...

...while raising our market value.

Without even trying, we'll be earning 30 billion.

And now we're drinking his million-dollar wine.

Aren't we greedy savages?

Your self-immolation will illuminate us!

You...

...are a great man!

You're my idol!

You're far too generous! I could never repay you in my lifetime...

...or even in the next one.

Brutal!

If Green Gulf could be reclaimed, the profits would be huge!

Reclamation?

Green Gulf is a conservation area with plenty of dolphins.

Otherwise, why would I have sold you that piece-of-crap land right next to it?

You really think I would do this for you?

I heard that the dolphins are moving away.

- What's this? - Reclamation permit.

Is this for real?

Of course!

That's it. I'm leaving!

Cheng.

I thought we were okay. What are you doing with the pesticide?

"Pesticide"? You idiot!

This is our newly acquired high-tech jetpack.

Take it off. You haven't even had a drink yet!

I'm not taking it off!

Why don't you make me?

You son of a bitch!

Goddamn you!

Be careful of the wall behind you! Turn! You can do it!

Oh, crap, it's broken!

Cheng can be such a jackass.

Can't people talk reasonably? Why throw a tantrum?

You're smart. You're a great man!

Open the door and let him fly out!

Green Gulf is a profitable project. How about doing it together?

It would be my honor, Uncle Rich!

That's great!

Now that I'm retired, you can work with Ruo-lan.

Deal?

We have a big party today. Let's have fun!

Whoever finds this watch first, it's yours.

You're so weird.

Are you trying to humiliate us?

How much can her watch be worth?

Not much. Just 8 million!

Miss Ruo-lan, you just threw 8 million into the water.

8 million to open your eyes is well worth it.

Now you can see their true colors.

Very clearly!

They're young, working hard for their money.

I highly respect that!

Aren't we all the same?

You came from nothing. It takes great ability to achieve what you have.

You even managed to get the reclamation permit.

Those second-generation rich brats don't compare to you.

Cut the crap, let's work together.

How do you wanna do it?

You have a promising project, I have the most prestigious realty firm.

What do you think we should do?

Join forces, raise the stock price...

...and make a killing.

Of course!

- 30 billion should buy me 50 percent. - Forty percent.

Aren't you worried about upsetting me?

No.

Happy now?

At least 45 percent.

Deal.

Mr. Liu!

Mr. Liu, I...

Stop! What are you doing?

Don't go over there! People like that have diseases!

It's fine. I'll just take a look.

Go ahead. I'm leaving!

Boss, this person is not on our list of dancers.

Who are you?

Mr. Liu, my name is Shan.

Sorry, I snuck in.

You're so handsome!

- Of course! Take her away. - Let's go.

No! Wait!

This is my number. Please call me, okay?

I'm begging you.
