Cover up the cart.

This way when the customers try to add anything to the cart,

they can't. That'll drive them crazy.

So you want to give them bad user experience?

President Chen, have you considered the consequences of this?

Lao Ji, how many years have you worked for me?

- Eight? - Nine.

Nine years.

That's a long time.

Have I ever done anything to make you unhappy?

No. You are very nice to the employees and everybody knows it.

Good.

I'm telling you this off the record. This is confidential

but DP is getting the hell out of here.

Out of here?

Keep it between you and me.

When DP is out, Simeiqi will be mine again.

Understand?

I understand.

This is when you pick a side.

I'll promise you this.

The day I have Simeiqi back, you'll be the CTO.

You will get stock options. Do you trust me?

I do, of course.

DP has been mean with me. Everybody is unhappy.

We are just too afraid to say anything. If you stand up for us,

what are we afraid of?

Okay. I'll call you about the details. Go back to work now.

Okay.

Keep it quiet.

Don't worry. I won't say anything

Excuse me.

Peter?

What did the lawyers say?

They said they couldn't take on this case.

Why not?

They said the brands are all Italian.

They are selling products imported from Italy.

Some of the brands are older than DP, even though they may be small.

There is no breach.

What about the ads? The online ads?

The lawyers said we have Cinderella

and they have Snow White.

- So... - So what?

So the lawyers said if the Brothers Grimm are okay with it, their hands are tied.

The Brothers Grimm?

The Brothers Grimm?

The Brothers Grimm? The Brothers Grimm?

What's this?

DP owns more shares in Simeiqi.

We can have you escorted out of this room any time we like.

When we signed the agreement, as a senior manager,

if I'm forced to resign my position, I'm entitled to a big buyout payment.

If you really want me out,

you'll have to pay me and that's not a sweet deal for you.

Actually at the beginning,

we looked forward to working with you

and building a bright future together.

But Simeiqi is getting worse by the day.

Simeiqi will only do well if DP does well.

I've heard that so many times.

DP is

having trouble with sales because of those Italian brands.

There's been a holdup with our popular lines because

we had to change our contractor on a short notice.

We share some common interest.

There is only verbal agreement between you and them.

Do you believe they will hold up their end of the bargain?

Think about it.

We won the first round.

Let's drink to that.

Cheers.

We only did it because we were united.

And special thanks to President Ning, who traveled to Italy for it.

Luckily I have been there many times

so I didn't waste any time.

Let's drink another round.

Actually,

this is only a small win. We haven't defeated DP.

We need something huge to beat them.

What's it?

Peter's scar is most likely from a knife cut.

A pretty sharp knife, too.

This is a man with stories.

Who else did he meet last night?

No one.

H Magazine's reviews on DP have been one-sided.

Lisa is helping him out.

I saw the numbers for China.

you won't be able to meet the annual KPI if you don't do something about it.

The Chinese market isn't fully explored yet,

but I have good understanding of the business models of the local companies.

You have three more months.

That's your deadline!

I already have a new plan.

Lisa! Lisa!

Why didn't you answer my call?

I didn't want to.

You are supposed to pay for our ads. That's the contract.

I have been holding them off for you.

They will sue you if you don't do anything now.

I have an idea how to deal with Li Zhicheng and his friends.

What?

DP's high-end brand, Royal.

Royal? Are you kidding?

For all these years,

Royal has never left Italy.

Shoppers all over the world have to travel to Italy for it.

How can HQ ever agree to bring it to China?

Why not?

You think everyone on DP's top level of management is so clean?

People make mistakes.

You have anything you can use against them?

You don't have to worry about that.

I will bring Royal to China.

And when I do, it won't be the only successful brand of DP in China.

Domani di Pioggia will also be resurrected.

Keep holding them off for me while I figure this out.

I'm out of tricks.

Do you know how we are different?

I'd never say I'm out of tricks.

- You are back. - Qian.

I have a brave design idea.

Let's give Xue Yanling to the two companies for free.

This way, if Xing Baoui and Simeiqi collaborated together,

we can lower the cost by a lot.

Just like the brand we had with Fancy.

Lowering the cost is great.

But if the three companies work together, there will be mass production.

Can the market digest this mass amount of product?

This is a report for the possible mass production for Qingcheng.

This report says that Xue Yan Ling can lower body temperature by 2 Celcius.

It reminds me of the once popular dacron.

When the dacron first came out, even though the cost was high,

which was worth a normal worker's monthly salary, but people still fought over it.

Our Xue Yan Ling can keep cool for even longer.

Plus your trendy designs, our company's marketing, and where the market is going,

once it enters the market, people will pass on the word,

the product will have its reputation.

As long as we all profit, our capability will unite.

National goods should be supported.

We need to use all we can to beat DP fair and square.

Jian, when is your older brother coming back to the country?

My older brother...should be in China.

Fine. Can you make the arrangements for

your older brother to come to my home for a meal and discuss our marriage?

When?

Tomorrow evening.

It has been a long time.

How are you?

Frankly, I'm here today to apologize to you.

For the wedding gown and the letter you left her.

I know that

these were the last things you have when you were alive.

Those were the words you didn't have the opportunity to say.

but I was really afraid to let her know.

I was afraid that if she were to find out,

you will be like her forever,

the deepest wound.

Do you now how much I envy you?

She loved you.

She still loves you now.

I believe this is retribution.

For the longest time, in order to survive and win,

I did so many things

and made use of many people. Frankly, when I approached her,

my motive wasn't pure.

I thought that, this time,

In this game

I could win.

But I lost to her.

I lost the most important person in the world.

Perhaps, all this

I deserve all these.

Why are you crying?

I called the both of you here today to discuss the direction of our future collaboration.

I hope that the three of us will stop fighting behind our backs.

Instead, we profit from the same projects.

No matter if DP will be here or not, or if there will be other companies coming in,

we need to work together

doing our best to revive the national fashion industry.

Don't worry, President Li. Of course, we came today as we knew about your motive.

That's right. We can be considered to be in the same boat.

Forget about other things, let's talk real.

How should we collaborate?

Lin Qian is already developing Xue Yan Lin T-shirts.

I will let Si Mei Qi and Xin Bao Rui to

use our patent.

Xin Bao Rui can produce their own product.

Si Mei Qi can put them on their own platforms.

What about the cost?

This new material can be risky.

President Ning, you know about the current situation of Simeiqi.

We can't take another blow again.

I understand your confusion. Xue Yan Ling can be mass produced.

What's important is Lin Qian's designs.

We are going to use the designs and materials to create a new label.

As long as the designs make sense, the cost will be much lower.
