The Ultimate Addiction (Dim Gum Sing Show / 點金勝手)

This probably isn't a coincidence.

What do you mean, Mentor?

Think about it.

Big Light Year used the

Li Tak-man-controlled King On Shek Company

and the anonymous Chan On to give bribe money

to people in Brainman and Sin Man Keung Accountants.

Its objective was to defraud the US company Engola. In the end...

Sin Cho-wai of Sin Man Keung Accountants detached himself from the deal.

On the other hand, Cheuk Yuk's employee testified against him

causing Brainman's share price to plummet.

Sin Cho-wai then seized the opportunity

to acquire Brainman's shares in large quantities.

It seems he planned this long ago.

The two incidents are connected.

Is it possible that someone took this opportunity to wipe him out?

This happens all the time in business.

We've got a warrant.

We can now go to the target venue to install the bugs. Let's go.

Sheung-yee, I want to expand the scope of investigation to include Sin Cho-wai too.

Without a solid reason, the boss won't approve that.

Don't let your former impression of Cheuk Yuk

affect your perspective on the investigation, OK? Lets go.

Cheuk Yuk's been really unlucky lately.

First he was investigated by CCB. Now someone wants to take over his company.

He's done the same to other people before. Otherwise how could his company grow so big?

It's a world where big fish eat small fish.

Exactly.

Here comes Cheuk Yuk.

Let's go.

Mr Cheuk, please comment.

You were forced to take leave from the Stock Market Advisory Committee.

Is there a power struggle there?

Excuse me. I need to hurry to a meeting.

Please Mr Cheuk.

Mr Cheuk...

Mr Cheuk, whisky and white wine?

Yes.

OK.

Lines on your face don't bother me.

The girl looks familiar.

She's from CCB.

Down in my chair when you dance over me.

I can't help myself. I've got to see you again.

She followed us here?

You want to know? Ask her.

Just to watch you...

Mr Cheuk, Mrs Cheuk, white wine and whisky.

Sue.

Yes.

Ask that girl to come here.

OK.

Excuse me. Mr Cheuk wants you to meet him.

What is it?

Join us. Sit down and have a drink.

I think you've got it wrong. I just came here to relax.

It's really just a coincidence?

This is the best jazz bar in Hong Kong. Jazz lovers come here.

What's your name?

Your beautiful wife is sitting next to you.

You still want to flirt? That's a bit inappropriate.

I've never cared.

I do care.

Ba ba ba...

Why are you being so noisy? How can I listen to Master Fat?

How can I sing louder than you talk, Sis Kiu?

I can't talk about our shares.

Sorry...

But Brainman's been in the spotlight lately. Why don't you talk about it a little bit?

OK. I'll talk about it in my capacity as a seasoned investor, OK?

There's been a rumor that someones taking over Brainman.

So is share price has rebounded.

Let's look at Brainman's chart. We can see the morning star there.

I believe this upward trend will carry on for a while.

I'm going to be rich this time.

It's really bad.

What's the matter?

One has won a lot and the other has lost a lot.

Touchwood. I sold a bit early so I got a few thousand dollars less in profit.

I'm still holding my shares.

I can still make a few thousand dollars more in profit.

This is such a good chance.

How would it be enough to make a profit of just a few thousand dollars?

I'll borrow some money for margin trading.

I'll speculate another round.

Spanner, you're so aggressive?

How can I make big money if I panic like you?

I want to make some money each month just to buy food.

Take your time then.

The takeaway's done.

Chi Nga, your takeaway is ready.

Thank you, Sis Kiu.

It's on me.

No way. I already live here. How can I take food for free?

I'm buying for my colleagues.

I know the guys in CCB too. Don't worry about the occasional treat.

Most important of all, you've taught me

how to buy some good shares since you moved in. I've made some money.

No...

Sis Kiu, so your adviser's not Master Fat.

Teacher Wu, I have my secret weapon too.

Don't call me Teacher Wu anymore. I retired early already.

Now I'm studying the market. Please enlighten us when you're free.

Please don't say that.

My younger brother said she studied finance and economics in the States.

She's really smart.

Really?

You used to work on Wall Street?

No...

The neighbors like to kid. Don't take it seriously.

Pretty girl, count me in if there's anything good.

What I told Sis Kiu to buy isn't for short-term speculation.

It may not be suitable for you guys.

It's fine. It's OK as long as it makes money.

You guys were talking about Brainman's shares just now.

Their price fluctuates a lot.

I don't know what the institutional investors are doing.

I think you guys shouldn't be too aggressive.

We know the big investors are playing tricks. So what?

If the market doesn't move, how can we make money?

Do YOU guys agree?

Right.

We'll follow the trend and act wisely. Don't worry.

Be careful then. I need to get to work.

Bye.

It's on Sis Kiu. Bye.

Brainman's share price has gone up by twelve percent this morning.

Shall we keep buying?

Buy as much as we can. We must buy more than Sin Cho-wai.

But we've spent a lot of money trying to stabilize the share price.

If we push the price up again, we'll need to spend a lot of cash.

I'm afraid the reserve ratio of the company will fall too low.

Is it your money or mine? Just do it.

Copy that.

Apart from buying our shares, King, next fact.

No problem.

It seems the target needs to borrow money to put out the fire.

Cheuk Yuk's an aggressive investor.

As long as the yield is high, he'll go ahead no matter how risky it is,

so their debt ratio tends to be high.

What do you think he'll do next?

It's most likely he'll launch a rights issue to raise funds.

On the one hand, he can get funds to cover the inadequacy in capital.

On the other hand, he can dilute the shareholding of his adversary.

But if his adversary has sufficient capital,

he may not be afraid of this move.

So we don't know who will win or lose.

Honey, shall we call him now?

If we ask him to help us now,

we can't turn down his request for help in the future.

But we can't worry so much now. We must turn the tables.

OK.

I'll go meet him with you.

No. I don't want to be so high-profile.

You must be careful then.

I want to know who Cheuk Yuk wants to meet

and whether this guy is involved in money laundering.

Yes, Madam.

We heard the target's meeting a mysterious man today.

Hey.

Take off your glasses. Take them off. Now. Got it. Bingo. Done. Let's go.

Don't make a fuss over such a petty job. Hurry and send the photos to headquarters.

Yes, Madam.

Hello. Yes. Hurry. The dancers are so hot. OK. Bye.

Hey, Boss Cheuk, Ben will be here soon. Why are you so serious?

The girls are so hot. There's Lafite. I, Tiger, can play with you too.

Come on. Drop a beat.

You're so excited. How come you don't have a girl?

Because they're a nuisance.

Or they think you'll just play with the computer instead of them?

A computer is really better than girls. Let's not talk about girls.

I really want to ask you something. You're a workaholic.

You don't flirt with girls. You have a wife too.

How come so many girls want to approach you?

For a man to attract the opposite sex, he needs money and power.

Of course his looks are important too.

I don't have a problem with my looks...

So girls are shallow. They just love money.

Don't be so demanding then. You're just looking for girls, not a wife.

Aren't they the same?

Of course there's a big difference.

The standards for a wife and girls are different.

It's like buying stocks.

You must know whether it's a short-term speculation or a long-term investment.

Girls are for short-term speculation. You take profit and leave.

A wife is a long-term investment.

Of course you must pick a blue chip with potential.

Otherwise, how can you keep it?

Why is love so troublesome? You have to do math?

What did you expect?

One may only find pure love once in a lifetime.

Short-term speculation is short-term. Don't hold onto it.

Why are they talking about something so meaningless?

When a man's rich, he usually talks about women. It's normal.

No, he's toying with us.

Is it possible Cheuk Yuk already knows about us?

Let's see. Chu said target's here.

Get ready to take action.

Mr Cheuk.

Brother.
