The Day of Days (Chaw M Kai Si Lok / 初五启市录 / 初五啟市錄)

The coroner's confirmed that the characteristics of the skeleton

found on the deserted island match those of Young Marshal

As soon as Wong Kai-yiu dies Guangzhou will be in chaos

But the mayor hasn't recovered yet There's no leader in Guangzhou

We can't carry on this way

To maintain stability in Guangzhou

the Nanjing government wants us to form a Joint Management Committee ASAP

I will definitely vote for you

We are doing something very important today

We are setting up the Joint Management Committee of the government

It's responsibility will be gravely important

and it will rule Guangdong in the mayor's place including its economy, finance

foreign investments, local infrastructure and the life of the people

It will play an important role

I hope all of you will make good use of your vote

to elect a suitable chairman fairly and justly according to your conscience

I trust that you know the rules of this ballot very well

All qualified colleagues have the right to vote and be voted for

The person who gets the most votes

will become the chairman of the Joint Management Committee

The ballot will be conducted in secret Do you have any question?

I object to a secret ballot. We are soldiers

We do everything in the open

Why do we want to cast a secret ballot

to elect the chairman to the Joint Management Committee?

Don't you guys agree?

Right. He's correct

I don't see any problem with a secret ballot

You can follow your heart without worrying about anything

You can be irresponsible too

Secretary Wong, you're belittling our colleagues by saying that

I didn't mean that at all

Then let's cast the votes in secret

I object I support it

Everyone, calm down. OK?

You decide, Chief Cheung

Should there be an open ballot or a secret one?

I'm sorry for coming late

Excuse me, Sis Mei-ling The government is holding a meeting

Electing the chairman of the Joint Management Committee is a major event

How could I not come?

I hope you will give me face and let me sit in

Please sit down

The mayor is still in a coma

But I will need to report to him when he wakes up later

Right. Please have a seat, Sis Mei-ling

Carry on. Don't mind me

Sis Mei-ling, you know the mayor's temperament best

If he were conscious, how would he decide?

Open ballot or a secret ballot?

I'm just sitting in. I'm just a woman What would I know about national affairs?

But since you're asking me now

I'll say something on behalf of my older brother then

He does everything in the open He hates doing things in secret

He would definitely prefer an open ballot

We'll listen to Sis Mei-ling and have an open ballot then

All the votes have been collected I will read the results out loud

The first vote was cast by Director Kwan Hung-ping for Wong Chun-bong

The second vote was cast by Secretary Lau Tin-ching for Chu Hau-yung

Chief Chan Chi-keung for Wong Chun-bong

There are only three votes left

Secretary Luk Kwok-wing for Wong Chun-bong

Director Man Kwong-fai for Wong Chun-bong

The last vote. Chief Shum Po for Wong Chun-bong as well

Enough. No more open ballot We need a secret ballot

Director Chu, are you serious?

They're afraid of you. You're petty

They had no choice but to vote for you This isn't their true intention

Speak up please

What you say now won't count anymore Didn't you hear Sis Mei-ling just now?

The mayor wants to conduct everything in the open

Right. Why are there so many under-the-counter deals?

You're a bully, Wong Chun-bong

Director Chu, do you not understand what I said?

Chief Cheung, do we have a result now?

Yes, Sis Mei-ling

I announce that Wong Chun-bong received eleven votes

He is elected Chairman of the Joint Management Committee

What's the result?

Wong Chun-bong got elected

Congratulations on your becoming the Joint Management Committee's chairman

Cheers

I guess Chu Hau-yung won't sleep for many nights

It serves him right. He's so stupid to play the leader

He thought he could beat me

He's just a pathetic loser He's just someone's pawn

If he didn't have the Tongs' support, he wouldn't have had the guts to oppose you

So I must do something as soon as I take up the post

I must get something done to win the admiration of the people

You mean?

Who are the most pompous in Guangzhou?

The Tongs. They're rich and powerful Everyone is afraid of them

Good. I want to suppress them What? Are you chicken?

No. But the Tongs have a solid foundation It won't be easy to deal with them

I like challenges

Merchants are unconscionable The Tongs have made such a huge fortune

They must have done lots of dirty things that can't be made known

They appear to be untouchable

But I don't believe they haven't had any illegal transactions

Will you three please carry out Secretary Wong's instructions?

No worries. I will ask my men to act

It's cloudy again today There might be heavy rain later

Really?

Isn't Nga-man going on a picnic? Shall we ask her to reschedule it?

Tsun drove her out early in the morning

She said she would accompany a Xiguan girl to try wedding gowns

Master Lai-wo's gone for a movie I don't think he took an umbrella

I must ask someone to take an umbrella to Pak Lok Mun for him later

We can't do business Ask someone to come out

Calm down please

Please calm down, OK?

Flowers Department Store has cut our power supply

Now the shops at the end of the street don't have electricity

How can we do business? What do you want?

Right. How can we do business without electricity?

We're not responsible for the power supply

Who's responsible then?

Right

Everyone knows the Tongs are corrupt

You guys want to monopolize everything in Guangzhou

Right

No, please calm down and listen to our explanation, OK?

What explanation? You Tongs are hogging the pier

You guys also monopolize the cement factories

groceries stores, weaving and dyeing mills cinemas and restaurants

You have the say in every aspect of life

What more do you want from us now? You want to drive us into a corner?

Right. You want to drive us into a corner?

We can't do business now

Hello, Tong's Mansion. What? Yes. OK. Got it

I will tell him. Thank you. Master Yip

What's the matter?

Lots of people are surrounding Flowers Department Store

They all look fierce

They're cursing the Tongs They're making trouble

Are you serious? They dare mess with the Tongs!

Let me call the police personally to have them arrested

The employees will do it You needn't worry about it

OK

Guys, remember this Sheung Pun Lau Their oil has mold. Their pork has worms

My dad suffers from diarrhea after eating there. Now he's really sick

I can't believe this

This is just a misunderstanding Our kitchen is clean and tidy

Tidy? I saw your waiters getting oil from the sewer for reuse

You call that clean and tidy?

This is outrageous

Don't talk nonsense. We're a conscionable restaurant. We never do that

You don't have any conscience

You guys have gone too far

Remember this Mellow Winery It sells contaminated wine

My dad died after drinking their wine

This is way too much Your wine is so expensive

But your wine's contaminated Your winery is so unconscionable

This is too much. It's so unconscionable

It's not true at all We never sell contaminated wine

Sir, don't smear us

I'm smearing you? Give me back my dad

Stop! Open the door Give me back my dad!

The Tongs are unconscionable A life for a life

The Tongs are unconscionable

Miss Wun. Good morning everyone

Why have you come here? Didn't you go to the office?

Just now when I was on my way to the office

I passed by Sheung Pun Lau and saw a crowd outside

They said the Tongs are rich but mean and shameless

They kept criticizing the Tongs

I thought something's wrong So I came to inform you

Who messes with my Sheung Pun Lau?

The same thing happened to both

Flowers Department Store and Sheung Pun Lau

Do you know who those people are? Why are they so unhappy?

I don't know

Po-po, lucky our winery is fine

What? OK. Master Nin

What's the matter?

Lots of people have surrounded the winery They're holding a roadside vigil

They say the Tongs sell contaminated wine that killed someone

It's very chaotic right now

Are you serious? Hello, Sun What's the matter? What? OK. Listen

Tell the employees to shut all the doors and windows

Don't let anyone come in

Every bottle of wine in the winery can be broken

We'll suffer a tremendous loss if that happens

What's the situation, Brother Nin?

He said lots of people are knocking at the door and windows

trying to get into the winery

Be careful or you'll get a stroke There are policemen

There aren't any

Shall we go and take a look?

No way. Those people are fierce We're stupid to go there

Nga-wun, now what?

Brother Chai, go to our shops and find out why those people are so unhappy

See if the problem can be solved

Yes, Miss Wun

What's going on? They came at the same time to make trouble at our shops

Right

Are they gangsters? Sis Wun,didn't you deal with them last time?

It's OK. I'll handle it

OK, Miss Tong. I'll send my men to those places to take a look

There shouldn't be any problem Don't worry. OK
