00:09I captained for my third uncle sailing the open sea for a year.
00:13Net profit, 5.68 million.
00:16Yet he only gave me 30,000.
00:18Song Haixing, why is the GPS all over?
00:21What are you circling around for?
00:23Third uncle, there's a reef zone ahead.
00:25We have to go around.
00:26Go around my ass.
00:27Going around adds two more hours.
00:29How much extra fuel is that?
00:31Do you?
00:31Go straight.
00:32Third uncle, going straight through the reefs is too risky.
00:35There are five or six lives aboard.
00:37No need to risk it.
00:38I told you to go, so go.
00:39Quit yapping.
00:40Swell direction, northwest.
00:42There's a gyre in the reef zone.
00:43If the angle of approach is right, we can ride the waves through.
00:56Holy shit, we made it.
01:02Today's the day we split the annual dividends.
01:05Once we get the money, mom won't have to keep working through her back pain, and dad can finally retire.
01:11Not bad.
01:12This batch of fish is excellent quality.
01:18$800,000 flat price.
01:20Don't worry, boss.
01:22Next time I guarantee I'll bring back even more.
01:29Third uncle, today's the day we agreed to split the dividends.
01:33What's the rush?
01:35Here, $30,000.
01:36The $30,000?
01:42Think it's too little?
01:43All you do is steer the boat.
01:45The boat is mine.
01:46The fuel is on me.
01:47The connections are mine to maintain.
01:49Giving you $30,000 is already generous.
01:52Uncle, we agreed to split it 50-50.
01:54The annual net profit is $5.68 million.
01:57I should be getting $2.84 million.
01:5950-50?
01:59Did I ever say that?
02:02This is my brand new state-of-the-art fishing vessel.
02:05If you won't do it, plenty of others will.
02:15Haixing, you can read currents and find fish.
02:17At this whole dock, no one can match you.
02:19Working for someone else, you'd just earn a flat wage.
02:22But with your uncle, it's different.
02:24We'll be partners.
02:25You bring the skills, I bring the boat and capital.
02:27Profits split 50-50.
02:29Uncle, you give me your word.
02:31Absolutely.
02:32You're my own nephew.
02:33Your parents are in poor health with no jobs.
02:35I'll have them work for me.
02:36Set them up with some easy tasks and pay them a salary.
02:39Deal.
02:40But now that he's made money and bought a fancier fishing vessel,
02:44he starts looking down on me.
02:50Uncle, I'll remember this.
02:53Remember what?
02:54That you can only get $30,000?
02:56Or that your whole family depends on me to survive?
03:02Fine, then let's see.
03:03Whether without me, we can still find the fish.
03:23This is the cheapest one.
03:25$150,000.
03:26I can knock a bid off if you want it.
03:31$150,000.
03:33$150,000.
03:34Plus repair costs, registration, fuel.
03:36That's at least $170,000.
03:38I've only got $30,000 on hand.
03:40My parents are unwell.
03:41Their meds and living costs run $18,000 a month.
03:44Uncle Zhang, any chance you could go lower?
03:46$150,000 is already rock bottom.
03:48Any less and I'd be losing money.
03:50All right, Uncle Zhang.
03:51I'm strapped for cash right now.
03:54Can I pay in installments?
03:55You...
03:55What do you even need this boat for?
03:58I want to work for myself.
04:00Work for yourself?
04:01Not afraid of Uncle Song?
04:04You know me.
04:06Everyone at the dock knows.
04:08Song Teigen has you under his thumb.
04:11If you try to go solo,
04:13think he'll let you?
04:16If you're serious about buying,
04:18I can ask my friends at the shipyard
04:19to see if they can cut you a deal.
04:21But as for installments,
04:22that's not my call.
04:25Thanks, Uncle Zhang.
04:26Ambition is a good thing,
04:27but you need to think it through.
04:29It's a tough road ahead.
04:31I've thought it through.
04:32I don't have much money right now,
04:34so I can only afford small boats.
04:36Can't go far out.
04:37Just fish in coastal waters.
04:38With my skills,
04:39I can still make good money fast.
04:43Brother!
04:44I took you in to help you out,
04:46not so you could cause me trouble.
04:51What's taking so long?
04:53Too sorry.
04:54Useless!
04:55You were passable when you were young.
04:57Now you're just a heap of rotten flesh.
04:59If it weren't for Song Haisheng's sake,
05:01I'd have thrown you out long ago.
05:03Uncle, my dad's getting old.
05:05Can't you just speak to him decently?
05:07Oh, feeling sorry for your old man?
05:09Then work harder yourself.
05:10You and two dead weights,
05:11taking three shares.
05:12Am I feeding your family
05:14for free?
05:14You.
05:16Forget it.
05:16Just bear with it.
05:17Your mom's medicine
05:18costs over $10,000 a month.
05:20We can't afford to cross him.
05:24Dad.
05:25I know.
05:26Go rest over there.
05:27I'll handle it.
05:30Rest period's cut short this time.
05:32Manager Goo's seafood chain
05:33has an event next month.
05:34You leave the day after tomorrow,
05:35head up north,
05:36and haul $2 million in premium catch.
05:43Mom, why are you still up?
05:46It's nothing.
05:47I'll sleep once I finish this bit of work.
06:16I'll be waiting for that day.
06:18I'll be waiting for that day.
06:19Water for you to soak your feet
06:21and rest up, all right.
06:23Dad, Mom, Susu,
06:24there's something I want to tell you.
06:28I don't want to work for third uncle anymore.
06:30He bullies you,
06:31bullies me.
06:32I've had enough.
06:35Hi, Sheng.
06:36Your third uncle may not be great,
06:38but he gives us work
06:39and promised you half the profits.
06:41There was no half.
06:42He gave me $30,000.
06:43What? $30,000?
06:44Didn't he agree to split it evenly?
06:46I've already made up my mind.
06:48I'm buying my own boat
06:49and working alone.
06:53This is all of my dividend.
06:54$30,000.
06:56Mom gave me $3,000.
06:57That makes $33,000 altogether.
07:00Still a bit short,
07:01but I've got the skills.
07:02I can find the fish.
07:04As long as I have a boat,
07:05I can turn things around.
07:09Hi, Sheng.
07:11This is what your dad saved up
07:13over the years.
07:14$20,000.
07:17Honey, this is my dowry.
07:19Sell it for the money.
07:20Don't worry about the medicine
07:21for me and your dad.
07:23What you bought us last time
07:24isn't even finished yet.
07:26Just focus on what you need to do.
07:28Mom, Dad, Susu,
07:29I swear I'll give you all a better life.
07:31Hi, Sheng.
07:32Dad believes in you.
07:33Mom believes in you, too.
07:37Honey,
07:38I'll be waiting for the day you make it.
07:44Master.
07:45Hi, Sheng.
07:46I heard you've been looking at boats.
07:48Master.
07:49I know it sounds like a pipe dream.
07:51I, you're doing right.
07:52With your third uncle bullying you like that,
07:55you can't just keep taking...
07:58Master.
07:59Hi, Sheng.
08:00How capable you are
08:01as if I don't already know.
08:03Reading currents,
08:04tracking fish,
08:05repairing boats,
08:05mending nets.
08:06You're among the best at all of it.
08:08Your third uncle always feels
08:09none of that counts for much.
08:11But making a living by your craft
08:12is the surest foundation
08:13a man can have.
08:14Master,
08:15I want to go out on my own,
08:16but I have no boat and no money.
08:18Money can be figured out.
08:19The real question is,
08:20do you have the guts to go alone?
08:22I do.
08:22Good.
08:23I know a few boat sellers.
08:24Some second-hand ones are cheap.
08:25If you trust me,
08:26I'll have a look for you.
08:27Thank you, Master.
08:28Hi, Sheng.
08:29The second-hand market
08:30is much cheaper than old Jiang's.
08:32It suits you better right now.
08:33But you can't just look at the price
08:35when buying a boat.
08:36You've got to check the foundation
08:37and the frame.
08:38You need to know if a boat
08:39can still hold up against the waves.
08:41This one's no good.
08:42The frame's fallen apart.
08:44This one's too expensive.
08:45We can't afford it.
08:47Hi, Sheng.
08:48Look at that one.
08:51Master, good foundation on this one.
08:53Sturdy frame.
08:54You can tell.
08:55The frame on this one is good.
08:57It's just the hull that's damaged.
08:59If you can fix it up,
09:00she'll still serve you well.
09:0250,000 for this boat.
09:06I'll take it.
09:08Hi, Sheng.
09:09The day after tomorrow,
09:11we head out for Manager Goo
09:12to prepare that 2 million worth of cargo.
09:14Don't take any days off before then.
09:16Come in early and give the boat an inspection.
09:19Uncle.
09:21I can't go.
09:23What do you mean?
09:24Giving me attitude, huh?
09:26Hey.
09:31Tegan, it's the fool.
09:33Hi Sheng needs days
09:34to learn some new skills from me.
09:35With his ability,
09:36leaving a week later
09:37won't be a problem.
09:39It's all set.
09:40No need to show our hand to him now.
09:43Fine.
09:43So he's got some trade skills
09:45and trained half the dock.
09:46So what?
09:46Whatever.
09:47There's still time anyway.
09:47Once Hai Sheng learns,
09:49he'll learn from me.
09:49Brother Tegan,
09:50is he really the legendary guy
09:52who sails in typhoons
09:53and still turns a profit?
09:54Ha!
09:54Obviously.
09:55I paid a million for that boat.
09:56Even you could make money on it.
09:58Come on.
09:58Sing another song for me.
09:59Dad, Mom, Su Su.
10:02We have our own boat now.
10:09Really?
10:09How much did it cost?
10:10Fifty thousand.
10:11My master picked it out.
10:12He said it's got good bones.
10:14Just needs some fixes.
10:15The frame is solid.
10:16Just the hull's a bit damaged.
10:17As for his repair skills,
10:19don't worry.
10:19He's the best student I've ever taught.
10:21Honey, you really did it.
10:23It's not over yet.
10:24The boat's bought.
10:25Next comes repairs,
10:27paperwork,
10:27and prepping for sea.
10:29It'll take about a week,
10:30and then everything we earn
10:31will be ours to keep.
10:35Boss Song.
10:37My shipment's on track, right?
10:41Rest assured, Manager Goo.
10:42I guarantee I'll get it all for you.
10:45Premium fish.
10:46As much as you need.
10:47I've heard.
10:48You've got a real talent working for you.
10:50Named Song Haisheng.
10:53You're well informed.
10:54Right.
10:54That kid's great at finding fish.
10:56With him on it,
10:56the shipment's guaranteed.
10:57I'll call him right now.
11:00The fishing license and permits
11:02are all taken care of.
11:03Just need to pick them up tomorrow.
11:05Once the boat's repaired,
11:06I'll catch some fish and crab nearby.
11:08Put some better food on the table at home.
11:12Hey.
11:13Finish up with your master
11:14and get back here.
11:15Manager Goo is already pushing.
11:17I'm giving you three more days.
11:18If you don't get out to sea,
11:20you're fired.
11:20Got it.
11:24Manager Goo,
11:25you heard that just now.
11:27The shipment's guaranteed.
11:28No issues.
11:29Good.
11:30Then I'll be waiting.
11:31One month from now,
11:32if you can't deliver,
11:33you know the consequences.
11:35Don't worry, Manager Goo.
11:36We've already signed the contract.
11:38Absolutely no problem.
11:41Dad, Song Haisheng hasn't run off, has he?
11:44Ah, he's not going anywhere.
11:45Back when he left his old boss to work for me,
11:48he burned every bridge he had.
11:50Now everyone at the dock knows I'm the one in charge.
11:52Who dare hire him?
11:54But I heard lately he keeps going down to the dock.
11:56So what?
11:57He's just looking at boats.
11:58His old master taught him some new tricks.
12:01Can't buy a boat, just wasting time.
12:03Let him run.
12:04Relax, son.
12:05That kid Song Haisheng,
12:06I've got him right where I want him.
12:08His parents work for me.
12:09His wife has a stall at the dock.
12:11Even if he dared run,
12:12where would he go?
12:13You really are something, Dad.
12:15Once I deliver this shipment,
12:17the net profit alone will be around 1.8 to 1.9 million.
12:20Dad'll buy you a big boat.
12:21Then we'll have Song Haisheng
12:23pulling double shifts on both our boats.
12:25Great.
12:32Haisheng, this one's a bit loose.
12:34Tighten it up.
12:34Got it.
12:37This rope's worn out.
12:39Needs replacing.
12:52When Dad was young,
12:53he was the best helmsman at the dock too.
12:57But he never owned a fishing vessel of his own.
13:00This boat's got a solid frame.
13:02She'll be ready for the sea tomorrow.
13:04Dad, I've made up my mind.
13:06Once my boat's fixed up,
13:08I'll get Da Zhuang.
13:09He's worked with me before.
13:10Solid guy.
13:11As long as you've thought it through.
13:13I'll follow your lead.
13:17Haisheng,
13:18why'd you ask me to come here?
13:19Whose boat is this?
13:21Mine.
13:22I'm going solo.
13:23You in or not?
13:24You bought your own boat?
13:26Damn, that's impressive!
13:28You in?
13:29I'll sign a contract with you.
13:30Double your previous pay.
13:31Soon enough,
13:33you'll be able to buy your own boat too.
13:35Haisheng,
13:35of course I trust you.
13:37Working with you,
13:38there's a future in it.
13:40Good.
13:45Hey, we've got a problem.
13:46Goss!
13:47Song Lao Hai and his wife are there.
13:49Too dark to see clearly.
13:50Could it be Song Haisheng leaving?
14:00Mom made this for you.
14:02Your favorite.
14:05Honey,
14:05I'll be waiting for you to come back.
14:07Mom,
14:07Dad,
14:08I left a note at Uncle's door
14:09telling him I've gone out on my own.
14:11Don't go work for him anymore
14:13so he won't take it out on you.
14:14Your mom and I haven't picked up
14:15this month's wages yet.
14:17We know what we're doing.
14:19Go on now,
14:19safe travels.
14:27Damn,
14:28I'm beat.
14:28Hey,
14:28bro,
14:29whose boat is this?
14:32Song Haisheng's!
14:36What am I even thinking?
14:38Song Haisheng only has 30,000 to his name.
14:41He can't buy shit for a boat.
14:42This family's probably gone crazy
14:44from being broke
14:45out here in the middle of the night
14:47raving like lunatics.
14:48Third brother,
14:49you haven't paid our wages
14:51for this month yet.
14:52I just gave your family 30,000.
14:54Isn't that enough?
14:55Bro,
14:55brother,
14:55settle accounts fair.
14:56You can't treat me like a sucker.
15:01Damn it!
15:02Song Haisheng,
15:03don't let me find you.
15:12Brother Haisheng,
15:13brother Haisheng,
15:13the weather forecast says tomorrow a typhoon's making landfall.
15:16Why are we still heading out?
15:18Because of the typhoon,
15:19fish will flee to shallow waters today.
15:21This is the best chance we've got.
15:23One haul,
15:24and we leave.
15:25Back at port before dawn.
15:26But these waves aren't small either.
15:28Three to four meter swells are within my control.
15:31Relax.
15:32I've got this.
15:34The water's a shade darker.
15:35That means the depth just increased sharply,
15:38the wave pattern smoothing out.
15:39That means there's a thermocline below.
15:41Seabirds are flying that way.
15:43Da Zhuang,
15:44see those silver flashes on the surface over there?
15:46Brother Haisheng,
15:47what's that?
15:48That spray kicked up by a school of fish.
15:50A huge school down below,
15:52gathering along the thermocline.
15:54Brother Haisheng,
15:55the fish finder's showing nothing.
15:57The fish finder can only pick up shallow fish.
15:59This school is below the thermocline.
16:01It can't reach them.
16:02Let's go.
16:03Head that way.
16:03I've got a feeling this haul's gonna bust the net.
16:06I trust you.
16:16Holy shit!
16:17The screen's packed with fish!
16:20Cast the net.
16:33Easy now.
16:34No rush.
16:36Let the fish crowd into the net themselves.
16:47There's so many!
16:49At least 5,000 Jin.
16:50Da Zhuang,
16:51get ready to sort them.
16:54Brother Haisheng,
16:55this single haul is worth 300,000.
16:58One net of ours beats a whole month for anyone else.
17:01Brother Haisheng,
17:02how did you know where they'd be?
17:03Watercolor,
17:04currents,
17:05the thermocline,
17:06the fish migration routes are all mapped in my head.
17:09Song Haisheng's really gotten full of himself.
17:11Shouldn't have given him even 30,000.
17:14Disappears for days and nobody can find him.
17:16What about my goods?
17:21That boat!
17:22Could it be Song Haisheng's?
17:23He's gone solo!
17:24Dad,
17:25if it weren't for you,
17:26he'd be doing odd jobs who knows where.
17:28He can't even afford his uncle and aunt's medicine.
17:30Doesn't even have a proper job.
17:32He wouldn't dare go solo.
17:34You're right.
17:35Other than me taking him in,
17:37nobody would want him.
17:39What?
17:43He actually dared to go solo?
17:49Mr. Song,
17:50can my shipment be delivered on time?
17:52Manager Gu,
17:53the schedule's a bit tight.
17:54Why don't you...
17:55It's in black and white,
17:56clear as day.
17:56Missed the deadline,
17:57triple damages.
17:58Six million.
18:00Dad,
18:00what do we do?
18:01Huh?
18:02What do you mean,
18:02what do we do?
18:03The dock is never short of sailors.
18:05Go find some.
18:06Offer double the pay.
18:07We'll find someone,
18:08I'm sure.
18:09Fine.
18:10With a boat as good as mine,
18:12anyone can handle it.
18:13Song Haisheng,
18:14don't think you're so important.
18:16I heard Song Haisheng bought some beat up second hand boat,
18:19patched it up and headed out to sea.
18:22That piece of junk?
18:24He expects to make it back?
18:25It'll be a miracle if it doesn't sink.
18:27Look,
18:28what's that?
18:31That's...
18:31Song Haisheng is back!
18:37Fully loaded.
18:37How is that possible?
18:39Boss Song,
18:40I'll take this entire batch of fish.
18:42Hey,
18:42Boss Song,
18:43sell to me.
18:44I'll pay top price.
18:45No rush.
18:48How...
18:48How is this possible?
18:50Uncle,
18:51long time no see.
18:52You!
18:52You did this on purpose!
18:54On purpose?
18:55I'm just making a living with my own skills.
18:57300,000 flat price!
18:59Nobody outbid me!
19:03Why does he get to be so lucky?
19:05I don't believe I can't find a better helmsman than you.
19:09Just you wait.
19:10Boss Song,
19:11where's my shipment?
19:12Manager Goo,
19:12a few more days.
19:13There's still half a month left.
19:15Once I find a helmsman,
19:16we'll make it.
19:17There's still time!
19:18Do you think I'm stupid?
19:19A normal round trip takes 20 days.
19:21You only have half a month
19:22and haven't set sail.
19:23The penalty is 6 million.
19:25Every last cent.
19:266 million?
19:27I'm giving you half a month.
19:28When that's up,
19:29I either see the goods
19:31or I see the money.
19:32Otherwise,
19:33I'll see you in court.
19:34Dad,
19:35what do we do?
19:36What do we do?
19:36How should I know what to do?
19:38Wanna go out to sea?
19:39I'll pay you top dollar.
19:40Uncle Song,
19:41it's typhoon season now.
19:43Nobody dares go out to sea.
19:45And your cargo
19:45has such high standards,
19:47we just can't take it on.
19:49Now,
19:50I have to find a way.
19:53As long as the money's good enough,
19:55I refuse to believe
19:57I can't find someone
19:58better than Song Haisheng.
20:03Dad,
20:04go easy on the drinks.
20:05I'm happy today.
20:06A little won't hurt.
20:07Once we sell this batch,
20:0850,000 goes to Da Zhuang.
20:10The remaining 250,000,
20:12I'll get medicine
20:13for you and mom
20:14and get Susu
20:14a set of gold jewelry.
20:16When has our family
20:17ever seen this kind of money?
20:18You're just starting out.
20:19You don't need to spend
20:20so much on me.
20:21I want to.
20:22This rascal,
20:23he took your money
20:23and he'll pay it back.
20:25All right,
20:25for the hangover.
20:28Whose boat is this?
20:30It's mine.
20:31Name's Zhao Dehai.
20:32What can I do for you, boss?
20:34I'm the owner
20:34of East Sea Seafood Chain.
20:36I've heard about you.
20:372,000 gin of fish
20:38and a single net,
20:39all top grade.
20:39The whole doc
20:40is talking about it.
20:41You flatter me, Mr. Zhao.
20:42Flatter you?
20:43I've been in the seafood business
20:45for 20 years.
20:46I've seen all kinds of people.
20:47But a young man like you
20:49is truly rare.
20:52I'd like to discuss a deal.
21:01Song Haixing!
21:03Why you Song Haixing?
21:05You went behind my back
21:07and bought a boat
21:07to work on your own!
21:09Dad,
21:09Manager Gu called again.
21:11He said if we can't
21:11deliver the goods,
21:12he'll sue us for breach.
21:13Let him sue.
21:14I'm Song Teigen.
21:15I'm not at the end
21:16of my rope yet.
21:16Song Haixing,
21:17you think I'm done
21:18just because you left?
21:19I'll pay top dollar
21:21to hire someone
21:21and I'll still bring in fish.
21:25Dad,
21:26what are you planning?
21:27I've heard there's a man
21:27called Iron Hand Chen.
21:29He's the best captain
21:30in these waters.
21:31His skill at finding fish
21:32is no less than
21:32Song Haixing's.
21:33Iron Hand Chen?
21:34That famous old captain?
21:35But his price is
21:36five times Song Haixing's
21:37and he only sails
21:38his own boat.
21:39Right!
21:39I'll go find him tomorrow.
21:41Pay five times the price
21:42to get him out to sea.
21:43I want to see
21:44if without Song Haixing,
21:45I can still bring in fish.
21:48What partnership?
21:49I need a steady supply,
21:51especially high quality
21:52saltwater fish.
21:53You handle the supply,
21:54I handle the sales.
21:55We can negotiate on price.
21:57Mr. Zhao,
21:58I'd like to ask,
21:59why did you choose me?
22:00You've got great skills
22:01and the fish you haul in
22:02are top quality.
22:03Why wouldn't I choose you?
22:05All right,
22:06let's set a time
22:06to discuss the details.
22:08Straightforward.
22:08I like working
22:09with direct people.
22:10My office tomorrow afternoon.
22:11Shenji!
22:13He see Sifu chain?
22:14That's a major company.
22:17Master Ironhand Chen,
22:18I've heard a lot about you.
22:21Uncle Song has a favor to ask.
22:23I'd like Master Chen
22:25to go out to sea for me
22:26and bring back a good haul.
22:27We can talk about the price.
22:29Five times the rate.
22:30Five times?
22:32Sure.
22:33When do we set out?
22:35The sooner the better.
22:38Let me be up front with you.
22:39I, Ironhand Chen,
22:41know how to find fish.
22:42But if you want me
22:43to go to the open sea,
22:44to the places
22:45Song Haisheng has been,
22:46I can't guarantee results.
22:47Master Chen,
22:48you're too modest.
22:49You've been at sea
22:50all these years.
22:51What storms
22:52haven't you weathered?
22:53Uncle Song,
22:53I'm not being modest.
22:54That kid Song Haisheng,
22:55his fish-finding skill
22:56is uncanny.
22:57Where he can go
22:58doesn't mean anyone else can.
22:59Master Chen,
23:00just give it a try.
23:00What if it works out?
23:01Fine,
23:02but let me make this
23:02clear up front.
23:03The open sea costs a lot.
23:04You pay a deposit first.
23:06A hundred thousand.
23:07Deal.
23:09Mr. Song,
23:10I'll cut straight to it.
23:11I need a stable supply.
23:12At least fifty thousand
23:13gin of premium ocean fish
23:14per month.
23:15Priced anywhere from
23:16eight hundred thousand
23:17to one point two million.
23:18Mr. Zhao,
23:19I can do that.
23:20But I have one condition.
23:22What condition?
23:24The price.
23:26I want twenty percent
23:27above market rate.
23:28Ha ha ha!
23:29Mr. Song,
23:30you've got some nerve.
23:31Mr. Zhao,
23:32I make my living on skill.
23:33My fish are better quality
23:35than anyone else's.
23:36You know that.
23:37Fine.
23:38We'll do it your way.
23:39Twenty percent above.
23:40But the quality
23:41had better be top notch.
23:42A pleasure.
23:43Pleasure doing business.
23:46Shange,
23:47how'd it go with Mr. Zhao?
23:49Deal's done.
23:51Fifty thousand
23:51gin a month.
23:52Twenty percent above.
23:54Twenty percent above?
23:56So each haul
23:57we'd make an extra
23:58thirty or forty thousand?
23:59That's right.
24:00Starting now,
24:01your pay is doubled.
24:03That's amazing.
24:04Following you,
24:05Shange,
24:05best decision I ever made.
24:08I've spent decades
24:10out on these waters.
24:11There's no storm
24:12I haven't weathered.
24:13I've been to these waters
24:14before.
24:15There should be fish here.
24:18Captain,
24:18there's nothing
24:19in these waters.
24:20That's impossible.
24:21Head further north.
24:24Boss,
24:25still nothing out here.
24:27Keep looking.
24:27I refuse to believe it.
24:29Iron Hand Chen
24:31is known for his skill.
24:33He'll find fish
24:35for sure.
24:37Five more days.
24:39Five more days.
24:42Boss,
24:42we've been searching
24:43for five days now.
24:45Still nothing.
24:45Keep looking.
24:46Boss,
24:47I really can't go on anymore.
24:48And our supplies
24:50are almost gone.
24:56How could the weather
24:57forecast be so wrong?
24:59It was supposed
24:59to skirt us.
25:00Why has the center
25:01suddenly shifted?
25:03Boss,
25:04the eye of the typhoon
25:05is heading straight
25:06for us.
25:08Turn back now.
25:10It's the last day.
25:16Uncle Song,
25:18Iron Hand Chen's boat
25:20is back.
25:20It's back?
25:21What about the fish?
25:23No fish.
25:24The boat?
25:25The boat's wrecked too.
25:26What?
25:27They hit a typhoon.
25:29The hull took on water.
25:31The engine burned out too.
25:32Where's Iron Hand Chen?
25:33He's...
25:34He's waiting for you
25:35at the dock.
25:42Iron Hand Chen,
25:43what happened?
25:45What happened?
25:47Uncle Song,
25:48you have the nerve
25:49to ask me?
25:50I hired you
25:50to go out to sea.
25:51Paid you all that money.
25:53And you didn't bring back
25:54a single fish.
25:55Song Teagan,
25:56how dare you say that to me?
25:57Do you know
25:57what those waters are?
25:58There's no fish
25:59to catch out there at all.
26:00That kid Song Haisheng
26:01just got lucky.
26:02He stumbled on a school of fish.
26:04Sending me to those waters
26:05was sending me to my death.
26:06But Song Haisheng
26:07used to catch fish there.
26:08Song Haisheng
26:09is Song Haisheng.
26:10I'm me.
26:11I can't match his skills.
26:12Sending me to the open sea,
26:13there's simply no fish to catch.
26:15Hitting that typhoon,
26:15it was God's mercy
26:16that I made it back alive.
26:19Uncle Song,
26:20let me make one thing clear.
26:21I took my own boat out there.
26:23Damaged like this,
26:24you're paying for it.
26:25Pay up?
26:26Pay for what?
26:27Repairing this boat
26:28costs at least $100,000,
26:30plus medical bills
26:31for my injured men,
26:32and another $50,000
26:33for lost wages.
26:35Then we'll call it even.
26:36$100,000, $50,000.
26:38That's $150,000 altogether.
26:40Cut the crap.
26:41Wire the money
26:42to my account
26:42within three days.
26:43Or you'll regret it.
26:45You didn't even bring me
26:46$150,000 worth of fish
26:48and now you want money?
26:49Brother Sheng,
26:51Boss Zhao's orders
26:51are completely booked up.
26:53If we come back
26:54with a full haul this trip,
26:55we could make $1.3 million.
27:01Gai Zhuang,
27:02bring me the nautical chart.
27:05Water's half a degree
27:06cooler than yesterday.
27:07Fish will seek warmer water
27:09heading southeast.
27:10A warm current's here.
27:11They should gather there.
27:13Brother Sheng,
27:14are you sure?
27:15I've checked
27:15three years of current data.
27:17The migration route
27:18this season
27:18runs right through here.
27:26Brother Sheng,
27:27the screen's full again.
27:29Cast the net.
27:37This haul!
27:38This haul is worth
27:39$500,000!
27:41Brother Sheng,
27:41you've got a gift
27:42from the gods!
27:46Song Teagan,
27:47time's up.
27:49Where's the goods?
27:51Manager Gu,
27:52there was a problem
27:53on Iron Hand Chen's end.
27:54A problem?
27:55What problem?
27:55His boat came back empty.
27:57The whole doc knows about it.
27:58You told me to wait
27:59and this is what I get?
28:01Manager Gu,
28:02just give me a few more days.
28:03I'm working on it.
28:04Working on it?
28:05This is what you call
28:05trying your best.
28:06Can't even catch a single fish.
28:08Three days!
28:09I want to see the goods
28:10in three days.
28:10Otherwise,
28:11it's $6,000,000 in damages
28:12every last cent.
28:17$6,000,000!
28:19$6,000,000!
28:20Song Teagan,
28:22do you have any idea
28:23how much we owe?
28:24$6,000,000 in damages
28:25to Manager Gu,
28:26or $150,000
28:27to Iron Hand Chen
28:28plus fuel and boat rental?
28:30That's $6,500,000 altogether.
28:32Song Teagan,
28:33didn't you say
28:34we'd be living
28:35the good life with you?
28:36And now,
28:37we're drowning in debt.
28:38Just wait a little longer, honey.
28:40I'm working on it.
28:41Working on it?
28:42What can you possibly do?
28:43Song Haisheng is gone.
28:45Iron Hand Chen failed too.
28:46Who else can you turn to?
28:47I don't care anymore.
28:49If in three days
28:49you can't get the money,
28:50I'm selling your boat.
28:53The boat?
28:54Sell the boat?
28:59Mr. Song,
29:00this batch
29:00is even better quality
29:01than the last.
29:03You flatter me, Mr. Zhao.
29:05Mr. Song,
29:06I'd like to discuss
29:06a long-term partnership
29:07with you.
29:08Fishing alone out there,
29:09your output is limited.
29:10I want to invest
29:10in scaling up your operation.
29:12You bring the skill,
29:13I bring the capital,
29:14and we partner up.
29:15Partners.
29:16Another partnership pitch.
29:17I know what you're thinking,
29:18but I'm different.
29:19My terms are simple.
29:20You handle the licensed
29:21fishing and sales.
29:22I handle funding
29:23and distribution.
29:24We split profits
29:2470-30.
29:2570 for you,
29:2630 for me.
29:27You serious about that,
29:28Mr. Zhao?
29:28You don't have to trust me,
29:30but you can't argue
29:31with a signed contract.
29:32If you don't expand,
29:33you'll just get swallowed up.
29:38I'll sign.
29:40Pleasure doing business.
29:43Uncle Song,
29:44where's my pay?
29:45And my fuel money?
29:4650,000,
29:47settle it all at once.
29:50Everyone,
29:51just give me
29:52a few more days.
29:53I'm strapped
29:54for cash right now.
29:55A few more days?
29:56You owe manager
29:57Gu 6 million.
29:58The whole doc
29:59knows about it.
30:00You think you can
30:00still pay us back?
30:01Can't pay?
30:03Then I'm taking
30:04this stuff with me
30:04to cover the debt.
30:06Uncle Song,
30:07you know your situation.
30:08Best behave yourself
30:09or don't blame me
30:11for getting rough.
30:14It's over.
30:16It's all over.
30:17Old friend,
30:19we've been through
30:20the toughest days together.
30:30This is my boat now.
30:33Haisheng,
30:34this!
30:34This is our new boat!
30:37200 tons of...
30:38From now on,
30:39she's our lifeline
30:40out at sea.
30:41Haisheng,
30:42this boat is grander
30:43than any I've ever seen
30:44in my life.
30:45Can I work with you
30:46from now on?
30:48Of course.
30:49Haisheng,
30:50can I go aboard
30:51and take a look?
30:51Ha ha ha,
30:52go ahead.
30:53This deck is cleaner
30:54than the bed
30:54in my house.
30:55Now this is a real
30:56fishing vessel.
30:58Compared to this,
30:59all those old boats
31:00were just rickety sandpans.
31:05From 30,000
31:06to a 200 ton vessel,
31:08from being trampled
31:08underfoot
31:09to finally holding
31:10my head high,
31:10all with my own two hands.
31:12You're incredible.
31:13After all you've been through,
31:14you've finally made it.
31:15Not yet.
31:16This is just the beginning.
31:18We're going to earn
31:19even more
31:21and give our families
31:22a better life.
31:24We're with you!
31:24We're with you,
31:25Haisheng!
31:28Haisheng,
31:29this is...
31:31this is your boat.
31:32Mom, Dad,
31:33this is our new boat.
31:34200 tons.
31:35Good, good.
31:36My son's really
31:37made something of himself.
31:38Honey,
31:39you really did it.
31:42We're not done yet.
31:43This is just the beginning.
31:44Back when I first
31:45went out to sea,
31:46all I ever hoped for
31:47was to have a boat
31:48of my own someday.
31:49Never thought that dream
31:50would be my son
31:51who made it come true.
31:54Haisheng's dad
31:55has lived a life
31:56worth living.
31:57Dad,
31:58we'll have even bigger boats
32:00down the road
32:00and better days ahead.
32:03My son,
32:04my son's really made it.
32:07Look at Song Haisheng's
32:09new boat!
32:10200 tons!
32:11I've worked my whole life
32:12and never seen
32:12a boat this big!
32:13I heard his third uncle
32:15sold his boat
32:15just to pay off debts.
32:17Now he's looking
32:18at apartments to sell.
32:19What goes around
32:20comes around.
32:21Mr. Song,
32:22this house is in
32:22a great location.
32:23Someone's offering
32:24800,000.
32:26800,000?
32:28Just sign it.
32:29You can't pay off
32:30the debt without signing.
32:37Song Tegan!
32:38Is this the good life
32:39you promised me?
32:40The boat's gone!
32:41The house is gone too!
32:43And you're still buried
32:44in debt?
32:45I can't live like this anymore!
32:47Honey,
32:47just bear with me
32:48a little longer.
32:49I'm working on it.
32:50Working on it?
32:50What can you possibly
32:52come up with?
32:56Manager Goo sent us.
32:57When will you pay
32:58what you owe?
32:58Just a few more days, please.
33:00Tomorrow.
33:01That's the latest.
33:02Transfer the payment
33:03to Manager Goo's account.
33:04Otherwise,
33:05you know what Manager Goo
33:06is capable of.
33:10Where am I supposed
33:11to get the money?
33:16Song Hai Sheng
33:16is really something.
33:18Every time he goes
33:18out to sea,
33:19no matter what
33:20the weather's like,
33:21he always comes back
33:22with a catch.
33:23That kid's got
33:24real talent!
33:34Third home call.
33:35Song Teagan's creditors
33:36are here again
33:37demanding payment.
33:38What are you going to do?
33:39I'm trying to figure
33:41something out.
33:41Figure something out?
33:42What can you possibly do?
33:44The boat's gone!
33:45The house is gone!
33:46What do you even have left?
33:48I've had enough!
33:49I can't live like this anymore!
33:50Where are you going?
33:51I'm staying
33:52at my parents' place.
33:53I'm done with this life.
34:00Song Hai Sheng,
34:01this is all your fault.
34:03Hai Sheng,
34:04I heard we're
34:05buying a cargo ship.
34:06Right.
34:07Fishing boats alone
34:08aren't enough.
34:08We need our own
34:10transport vessel
34:10dedicated to deliveries.
34:12That way,
34:13costs are lower
34:13and more efficient.
34:15Hai Sheng,
34:16about your third uncle.
34:17Dad,
34:18what are you trying to say?
34:19Well, he is your
34:19third uncle after all.
34:21He's got nothing left now.
34:22Dad,
34:23let me think about it.
34:28Honey,
34:29thank you.
34:30For what?
34:33For giving me
34:34such a good life.
34:36Su Su,
34:37this is only the beginning.
34:38From now on,
34:40I'll give you
34:40an even better life.
34:42Well, well,
34:43isn't that old third song?
34:44Used to be so high
34:45and mighty.
34:46Look how far
34:46he's fallen now.
34:48Exactly.
34:48After how he treated
34:49Song Hai Sheng,
34:50Karma's finally
34:51caught up with him.
34:55Brother Sheng,
34:56our profit this month
34:57is 2.8 million.
34:58As you requested,
34:5950% of the profits
35:00have been distributed
35:01to the crew.
35:02Everyone's really
35:03grateful to you.
35:04As they should be.
35:06The boys follow me.
35:07We all get rich together.
35:08Ha ha ha.
35:09What are you two up to?
35:13Third uncle.
35:15Third uncle.
35:22Third uncle.
35:23Third uncle.
35:24What do you want to say?
35:26Ha ha ha.
35:26Your uncle knows
35:27he was wrong.
35:28This past year,
35:29I've regretted it
35:30every single day.
35:31And?
35:31I don't dare ask
35:33for your forgiveness.
35:34I just wanted to say
35:35I'm sorry.
35:37What you owe me,
35:38third uncle,
35:39can't be settled
35:40with a simple apology.
35:41Then you.
35:42But you are my
35:43father's own brother
35:43after all.
35:44If you ever need help,
35:46come find me.
35:49Haisheng.
35:54Dad, something terrible
35:55happened.
35:59What is it now?
36:00I owe loan sharks
36:02500,000.
36:03What?
36:04How did you end up
36:05owing loan sharks?
36:06I was trying to win it
36:08all back.
36:09But I lost everything.
36:14500,000 to
36:15our family already
36:16has nothing left.
36:18Dad, please save me.
36:19They said if I don't
36:20pay up,
36:20they'll chop off
36:21my hands.
36:22You worthless fool.
36:27Brother Sheng,
36:28something's happened.
36:29Your cousin
36:30Zhang Xiaohu
36:31owes loan sharks.
36:32He's borrowing
36:32money everywhere.
36:33They'll chop his hands
36:34if he doesn't pay.
36:35Zhang Xiaohu?
36:36Yes.
36:37Your third uncle's son
36:38owes 500,000.
36:39Third uncle wronged me.
36:41But Zhang Xiaohu,
36:42he's just a spoiled kid.
36:44Where are they now?
36:45I heard at the old
36:46warehouse in that
36:47old warehouse.
36:48Creditors won't
36:48let him leave.
36:49Let's go have a look.
36:55Please,
36:56just give us
36:56a few more days.
36:57I swear I'll pay it back.
37:00Give him more time?
37:01How long has he owed you?
37:02Last time you said
37:03seven days.
37:04Well,
37:05seven days have passed
37:06and you haven't
37:06paid a damn cent.
37:09Before midnight tonight,
37:11if he can't pay
37:11500,000,
37:12we chop off
37:13one of his fingers first.
37:16500,000 right?
37:17I'll pay it for him.
37:19Haixing!
37:20Brother,
37:21who the hell are you?
37:23Big talk for a stranger.
37:24I'm his cousin.
37:25I can wire you
37:26the 500,000 right now.
37:28But I have conditions.
37:30What conditions?
37:31From now on,
37:32you leave them alone.
37:33Otherwise,
37:34I won't hesitate
37:35to show you
37:35what consequences look like.
37:37Ha!
37:37Fine!
37:38Transfer it then!
37:44Haixing!
37:46I...
37:47Uncle,
37:49do you know
37:50why I helped you?
37:51It's not for your sake.
37:52It's for my father.
37:53No matter what you've done,
37:54you're still his own brother.
37:55I don't want him
37:56in a tough spot.
37:57This 500,000
37:58isn't a free handout.
37:59You'll spend a lifetime
38:00repaying it.
38:01And you...
38:02Song Xiaohu,
38:03you're 23 this year.
38:04You're not a kid anymore.
38:05This is the last time.
38:06If you gamble again,
38:07I'll pretend
38:07I never had a cousin.
38:11Let's go.
38:13Go home
38:14and live a decent life.
38:18Haixing,
38:19what your uncle owes you,
38:21I can never repay
38:23in this lifetime.
38:26Haixing,
38:28I heard you helped
38:30Song Teigen
38:30pay off 500,000.
38:33Yes.
38:34You're still
38:34too soft-hearted, kid.
38:36But it's a good thing.
38:38Uncle Zhao,
38:39what did you want
38:39to see me about?
38:42Haixing,
38:42I've got a big opportunity
38:44I want to discuss with you.
38:47You know the seafood market
38:48in the capital?
38:49Daily transactions there
38:50exceeds 100 million,
38:51but the suppliers
38:52are from the south.
38:53Our East Sea seafood
38:53is top quality,
38:54yet we can't break
38:55into that market.
38:56I want to partner with you
38:56to open a shop
38:57in the capital
38:58sourcing directly from you.
38:59I handle channels,
39:00you provide the goods,
39:00and we split profits
39:0150-50.
39:0250-50,
39:03way better than 70-30,
39:05but that'll require
39:06a much larger output.
39:07I'm fine with 50-50,
39:09but I have one condition.
39:10Name it.
39:10I need funding
39:11to expand my fleet.
39:12One boat's not enough.
39:13I need at least five.
39:14No problem.
39:15I can advance you
39:16three million up front.
39:17Deal.
39:17Pleasure doing business.
39:21Honey,
39:22I heard you paid off
39:24third uncle's debt.
39:27Yeah,
39:27500,000.
39:29That's months
39:29of our income.
39:30Susu,
39:30you know what?
39:31I think that 500,000
39:32is well spent.
39:34Why?
39:34I used to hate
39:35third uncle so much
39:36my teeth ached,
39:37but now I don't anymore
39:38because I'm doing
39:39better than them.
39:40I have my boats,
39:41my business,
39:42and I have you.
39:43That's enough.
39:44Besides,
39:45helping them this time
39:46was also about
39:47putting this grudge
39:48to rest.
39:48When they got
39:49into debt back then,
39:50I was partly
39:51responsible too.
39:52Whether they do
39:53well from now on
39:54is no longer
39:55my concern,
39:55but at least
39:56my conscience
39:57is clear.
39:58You're such a good
39:58man, honey.
40:09Cheng,
40:10we've got
40:10five boats now!
40:12Yeah!
40:13From now on,
40:14we're no longer
40:15a small-time
40:15independent fleet.
40:16We're a company.
40:17Brothers,
40:18today is our new
40:18fleet's maiden voyage.
40:19Lao Liu,
40:20take boat two
40:21and head north.
40:21Target the yellow
40:22troker.
40:23Got it!
40:23Da Zhuang,
40:23take boat three
40:24and head east.
40:25There's hairtail
40:26in that area.
40:26You got it,
40:27Cheng!
40:28I'll take boat one
40:28south.
40:29Golden thread fin
40:29there.
40:30Rendezvous at zone
40:31C at 6 p.m.
40:32Copy!
40:52Hi, Cheng, look at this
40:53grand opening.
40:54The whole market
40:55is buzzing.
40:56Seafood from the
40:57East Sea.
40:57That's a first
40:58around here.
40:59I heard the owner
40:59is a young guy.
41:01Built his own team
41:02in his 20s.
41:02Started with 30,000
41:04to now running
41:04a shop in the capital.
41:06The journey here
41:07has been anything
41:07but easy.
41:08Mr. Song,
41:09I presume,
41:09heard a lot about you.
41:10I'm the procurement
41:11manager at a seafood
41:12restaurant here.
41:13My boss wants to
41:14discuss a long-term deal.
41:15Sure.
41:16Song Teagan,
41:17I'm leaving.
41:18You're really leaving?
41:19If I stay,
41:20what am I gonna live on?
41:21Air,
41:22when I married you,
41:23it was because
41:23you had money.
41:24And now,
41:25the house is gone,
41:26the boat is gone,
41:27and you're drowning
41:28in debt.
41:29I stuck it out with you
41:30for three months.
41:31Enough.
41:31Please give me
41:32one more chance.
41:33Song Hai Sheng
41:34is doing well now.
41:35He's willing to help me.
41:36You think he'd help you?
41:37Keep dreaming.
41:38You fool.
41:39You look down
41:40on Song Hai Sheng.
41:41You wronged his parents,
41:42and you're
41:43an absolute disgrace.
41:44The provincial
41:45seafood place.
41:47You just landed
41:48another two million order.
41:52Mr. Song,
41:53someone's here
41:53to see you.
41:55Who?
41:56It's,
41:57it's your third uncle.
41:59Show him in.
42:02Song Hai Sheng,
42:03your third aunt left me.
42:05I know I have
42:06no right to come to you,
42:07but I've got
42:08nowhere else to turn.
42:09Can you,
42:10can you help me
42:11one more time?
42:12Third uncle,
42:13do you know why
42:14I was willing
42:14to help Xia Hu before?
42:15Because I watched
42:16that boy grow up.
42:17I didn't want him
42:18to end up a deadbeat.
42:19But what you owe me
42:20isn't money.
42:21You trampled on my dignity,
42:22trampled on my parents' dignity,
42:24five hundred thousand
42:25can't make up for that,
42:26but I'll give you a chance.
42:28My fleet needs
42:29someone in logistics.
42:30No need to go out to sea.
42:32Just manage cargo
42:33at the dock.
42:33Keep the books.
42:34Two thousand a month,
42:35room and board included.
42:37Yes or no?
42:37You,
42:38you take me on?
42:39I'm not taking you on.
42:40I'm giving you a chance.
42:41If you work hard,
42:42you can still make
42:43a decent life.
42:44But if you go back
42:45to your old ways,
42:46don't blame me
42:47for cutting you off.
42:48I'll do it.
42:48I'll do it.
42:49Thank you,
42:49Haisheng.
42:50Don't thank me.
42:51Thank my father
42:52if you want to thank someone.
42:53He's the one
42:54who still valued brotherhood.
43:03Mr. Song,
43:04may I ask what inspired you
43:05to open a seafood
43:06direct supply store here?
43:07East Sea seafood
43:08is top quality,
43:09but there's never been
43:10a way into the capital's market.
43:11My partnership
43:11with Mr. Zhao
43:12is all about changing that.
43:14We want people here
43:15to enjoy the freshest
43:16and most authentic East Sea seafood.
43:22Song Haisheng,
43:23we meet again.
43:26Manager Gu,
43:26it's been a while.
43:28I hear you've expanded
43:29to the provincial capital.
43:31Quite bold of you.
43:32Business is business.
43:34You go where the market is.
43:35Any advice, Manager Gu?
43:37Advice?
43:38I'd like to see
43:38how long you last.
43:40Manager Gu, wait!
43:43There's something
43:44I want to say to you.
43:45Back then,
43:45you threatened my uncle
43:46that failure to deliver
43:47you'd demand
43:48six million in penalties,
43:49but you'd already
43:50secured backup ingredients.
43:52What are you getting at?
43:53Nothing.
43:53Just a reminder
43:54for you, Manager Gu.
43:55Don't burn all your bridges.
43:59Haisheng,
44:00on our very first day,
44:01we landed over 20 orders
44:02totaling more than
44:0310 million.
44:06And this is only
44:07the beginning.
44:11This shipment
44:12is 2,000 yen in total.
44:14No problem.
44:14All right, Uncle Song.
44:17Third uncle,
44:18you've done well.
44:19Haisheng,
44:20thank you for giving me
44:21this chance.
44:22I...
44:23I'll work hard,
44:24I promise.
44:24Hmm.
44:25Live a good life
44:26from now on.
44:28Yes, yes, I will.
44:34Mom, Dad,
44:34have some fruit.
44:35Oh, what a thoughtful
44:36daughter-in-law.
44:37Mom, Dad,
44:38are you happy
44:39with the house?
44:40Happy?
44:40We couldn't be happier.
44:42Your mother and I
44:43never imagined in our lives
44:44we'd live in a house
44:45like this.
44:47My son's really
44:48made something of himself.
44:49Mom, Dad,
44:50this is just the beginning.
44:51Once the company
44:52grows a bit more,
44:53I'll get you a place
44:54in the provincial capital, too,
44:55so you can retire there.
44:57No, no,
44:57there's no need.
44:58Your love and devotion
44:59is more than enough.
45:00Your mother and I
45:01are perfectly fine here.
45:02Looking back on it all,
45:03it really hasn't been easy,
45:05but it was all worth it.
45:06A salary of $2,000
45:08is enough for Xiaohu
45:10and me to get by
45:10for a month.
45:16Hi, Sheng.
45:19Your second uncle
45:20got paid.
45:21Hi, Sheng,
45:22the more I think about it,
45:23the more I feel
45:24I've wronged you.
45:25Back then,
45:27it was my fault
45:28back then.
45:29I'm sorry,
45:29and I'm sorry
45:30to your parents.
45:31I owe you an apology
45:32from the bottom of my heart.
45:34Third uncle,
45:34what are you doing?
45:35Hi, Sheng,
45:35this past year,
45:36I've finally seen
45:37things clearly.
45:38You're a good man,
45:3910,000 times better than me.
45:41The things I did before,
45:42they were inhuman.
45:43Third uncle,
45:44let the past stay in the past.
45:46Just focus on your work now.
45:47Save up some money
45:48for the family,
45:48and you can start fresh.
45:50I will, Hi, Sheng.
45:51I promise I'll work hard.
45:53Great news,
45:54Brother Sheng.
45:55Provincial orders exploded again.
45:57Five million in orders
45:57this month.
45:58Good.
45:58Tell the boys bonuses
45:59are doubled this month.
46:00Amazing, Brother Sheng.
46:02You're the man.
46:02From 30,000 a year
46:04to five million
46:05in orders a month.
46:06Looking back on this journey,
46:08every step was hard won.
46:09But I'm grateful
46:10that I never gave up.
46:16Honey,
46:17have some tea.
46:20Susu,
46:21thank you.
46:22For what?
46:23For always being by my side.
46:25When I only had 30,000,
46:26you didn't leave me.
46:27Now that I have everything,
46:28it's all because of you.
46:29Oh, stop it.
46:30If I didn't stand by you,
46:31who would?
46:33Susu,
46:33I'm going to give you
46:34an even better life.
46:35I believe you.
46:36Mr. Song,
46:37here's the loan approval
46:38you applied for.
46:3950 million,
46:39lowest rate,
46:40three-year term.
46:46Hi, Sheng.
46:47With this money,
46:47we can finally expand.
46:49I plan to buy
46:4910 more boats
46:50and open three branches
46:51in the capital.
46:53No problem.
46:53Our ECC food chain
46:55will definitely go nationwide.
46:59Xiao Hu,
47:00life may be tough right now,
47:02but it's more stable
47:02than before.
47:03I know, Dad.
47:04I won't gamble again.
47:05I'll work hard
47:06with my brother.
47:07Good.
47:07I'm glad you see it that way.
47:11Hai Sheng,
47:12thank you.
47:17Mr. Song,
47:18an honor to meet you.
47:19Hello, sir.
47:20Please come in.
47:23Mr. Song,
47:24I'm here to discuss
47:25a potential partnership
47:25with you.
47:26The province is launching
47:27a fishery plan
47:27to support leading
47:28local fishery companies.
47:29Your company fits
47:30the criteria perfectly.
47:31Oh?
47:31What incentives?
47:32Low interest loans,
47:33tax breaks,
47:34priority bidding,
47:34state contracts.
47:35If you're willing to join,
47:36all yours.
47:37I'm open to it,
47:38but I have one condition.
47:39What condition?
47:40I want to build a fish farm
47:41right here in our town
47:42to teach local fishermen
47:44modern farming techniques
47:45and help everyone prosper.
47:46Mr. Song,
47:47that's a wonderful idea.
47:48We need someone like you
47:49to lead the way.
47:50One person rich isn't wealth.
47:52Shared prosperity counts.
47:53Honey,
47:54did you see the news?
47:55Our company was
47:56on the provincial channel.
47:57I saw it.
47:58The reporter called you
48:00something like
48:00a rural revitalization pioneer.
48:03It's just a title.
48:05Look at you being modest.
48:08Su Su,
48:09let me tell you,
48:10once the fish farm is ready,
48:11everyone in our town
48:12will be able to build
48:13a better life.
48:13You'll be so proud back home.
48:16I'll be waiting.
48:18I'll be waiting.
48:21These farming techniques
48:23are so much better
48:23than our old ways.
48:25Yeah,
48:26if we'd known about this sooner,
48:27we wouldn't have had
48:28to work so hard.
48:29Folks,
48:29today this fishery base
48:30is officially established.
48:32From now on,
48:32if you have any questions
48:33about aquaculture,
48:34you can always come to me.
48:35I,
48:35Song Hai Sheng,
48:36may not have many talents,
48:37but I can teach you
48:38to raise fish.
48:40Modern fishery
48:41isn't just about
48:41going out to sea.
48:42You need to learn
48:43scientific aquaculture,
48:45learn e-commerce,
48:46learn brand management.
48:47Only then can you thrive
48:49in this day and age.
48:50Mr. Song,
48:51I heard you only had
48:5230,000 to start with.
48:53How did you build all this?
48:54That's a great question.
48:55Back then,
48:56my third uncle swindled me,
48:57leaving me with just 30,000.
48:59But I didn't complain.
49:00I knew I had the skills.
49:01As long as I had my expertise,
49:02I'd always find a way
49:03to bounce back.
49:04So you all need to master
49:05your own craft too.
49:06No matter how the times change,
49:07a skilled person
49:08will never be left behind.
49:09Mr. Song,
49:10what first gave you
49:11the idea of opening
49:12a direct supply store
49:13in the capital?
49:15Because this is my hometown.
49:17I grew up here,
49:18learned to fish here.
49:19My roots are here.
49:20I don't want to see
49:20this place fade into obscurity.
49:22What are your hopes
49:23for your hometown's future?
49:24I hope Donghai Town
49:25can become the most
49:26renowned fishery hub
49:27in the country.
49:28Visitors would come
49:29not just for the seafood,
49:30but to experience
49:31the fishing village culture.
49:32I want people to know
49:33that fishermen can live
49:34with dignity and purpose.
49:36Beautifully said,
49:37Mr. Song.
49:38Susu,
49:38let's really unwind
49:39in the Maldives this time.
49:40Sounds wonderful.
49:41After so many years,
49:42we're finally getting
49:43our honeymoon.
49:45Susu,
49:46thank you for always
49:47being by my side.
49:49I'll go with you anywhere.
49:51Honey,
49:51it's so beautiful here.
49:53Let's come back
49:53every year.
49:54Sure.
49:54Back then,
49:55all I had was 30,000,
49:56not even enough
49:57to set sail.
49:58Now I'm here on vacation
49:58with my wife.
49:59This whole journey
50:00feels like a dream.
50:03We finally get a chance
50:05to relax
50:05and you're still frowning.
50:07Come catch me.
50:08Ha ha.
50:09Ha ha ha.
50:10If I catch you,
50:11you're gonna get it.
50:12Ha ha ha.
50:13Susu,
50:14when we got married,
50:15we were broke.
50:16Couldn't afford
50:16a decent ring.
50:17Now let me make it up to you.
50:19Honey.
50:21Susu,
50:22for the rest of my life,
50:24I'll always be good to you.
50:26I know.
50:30You must be Mr. Song Haisheng,
50:32correct?
50:33That's me.
50:35I've read about you
50:37in the news.
50:37You're a role model
50:38for our generation.
50:42Haisheng,
50:42our company's revenue
50:44this year
50:44has surpassed
50:45100 million.
50:46Yeah,
50:47even faster than I expected.
50:49Next year,
50:49I plan to expand nationwide,
50:50opening branches
50:51in Beijing,
50:52Shanghai,
50:52and Guangzhou.
50:53What do you think?
50:55Sounds good.
50:56But I have one condition.
50:58What condition?
50:59I want to turn our town
51:01into an East Sea fishing town
51:03so that everyone knows
51:04East Sea
51:05has the best fishery there is.
51:07Done!
51:07We'll do it your way!
51:10Mr. Song,
51:11congratulations on being named
51:12one of the top 10
51:13outstanding figures
51:14in the National Rural
51:15Revitalization Program.
51:17This is a collective achievement,
51:18not mine alone.
51:22I will do everything
51:23in my power
51:24to lead Donghai town
51:25and its people
51:26on the road
51:27to prosperity
51:28so that every single person
51:30can live a life
51:31of abundance.
51:32This is the greatest
51:33wish of my life.
51:35I swear upon
51:36every honor I hold,
51:37I will never give up
51:39on anyone
51:39who yearns
51:40for a better life
51:41and works hard
51:42to achieve it.
51:48Hi, Sheng.
51:50You've really brought honor
51:52to our Song family.
51:53My son has made
51:54something of himself.
51:57Mom, Dad,
51:58this is only the beginning.
52:00I'm going to make
52:01our family
52:01and our town
52:02even better.
52:04Come on, Dad,
52:05a toast,
52:05father and son.
52:06The dreams
52:07you couldn't fulfill,
52:08I'll make them come true.
52:10Good, good, good.
52:10I'm basking
52:11in my son's glory.
52:12Come, cheers.
52:17This man
52:18I truly chose well.
52:20Everyone,
52:21today I'm going
52:21to teach you
52:22a new skill,
52:22sea cucumber farming.
52:24Once you master
52:25this technique,
52:26your income can triple.
52:27One person's strength
52:28is limited.
52:29But if I can teach
52:30more people,
52:31this industry
52:31will only get better.
52:35Hi, Sheng.
52:36You're here.
52:37Uncle,
52:37how have you been?
52:38Pretty good.
52:39I've already paid
52:40back most of the debt.
52:41Another two years
52:42and it'll be cleared.
52:43Keep at it, Uncle.
52:45Once our company grows,
52:47I won't let you down.
52:49Hai, Sheng.
52:51Don't thank me.
52:52You're my father's brother.
52:53We're family.
52:54Hai, Sheng.
52:55After the way
52:56I treated you back then,
52:57you still treat me
52:58like this.
52:59I, I really...
53:00Uncle,
53:01let the past
53:01stay in the past.
53:03You still have
53:03Shaohu, don't you?
53:04Right, right.
53:05There's still Shaohu.
53:06Shaohu is counting
53:07on this family.
53:12These six years,
53:13how many storms
53:14have we weathered together?
53:15From that worn-out
53:16little boat
53:17to the fleet
53:17we have now.
53:18From being despised
53:19to standing
53:20at the top
53:20of these waters.
53:22Old Liu,
53:23Da Zhuang,
53:24without you two,
53:25I wouldn't be
53:26where I am today.
53:29Brother Sheng,
53:30what a haul today!
53:31Three thousand
53:31jinn in a single net!
53:34Yeah.
53:35The fish schools
53:36in these waters
53:37are steady.
53:38We can come back
53:39here often.
53:40Brother Sheng,
53:41where do you think
53:42we'll be in the future?
53:43I don't know.
53:44But what I do know is,
53:46as long as we keep pushing,
53:48things will only
53:49get better from here.
53:50Following Brother Sheng,
53:52I believe we'll make it
53:53for sure.
53:54Mr. Song,
53:55three hundred new employees
53:56are joining us this month.
53:58Good.
53:58Tell them we offer
53:59the best platform,
54:00with the best platform,
54:01if they have what it takes,
54:02they can rise,
54:03from one person
54:04to a whole team.
54:07Looking back on this journey,
54:09none of it came easy.
54:10But I'm grateful,
54:12to have so many
54:13like-minded brothers
54:14by my side.
54:21It's a boy.
54:22Hmm.
54:24Honey,
54:25have you thought of a name?
54:26Let's call him Song Fan.
54:28I hope he'll be like a sail,
54:30navigating the ocean of life
54:32to find his own way.
54:33Song Fan,
54:34I love it.
54:37Song Fan,
54:38Daddy will give you
54:39the best he can.
54:40But the most important thing
54:41is that you rely on yourself.
54:45The future belongs to him.
54:51Six years ago,
54:53I started with nothing
54:53but 30,000.
54:55Back then,
54:55I had nothing at all
54:56except passion
54:57and a refusal to give up.
54:59Now,
55:00I have my own fleet,
55:01a company,
55:02and most importantly,
55:03the family I love.
55:04Back in the day
55:05when I went out to sea,
55:06all I dreamed of
55:07was having a boat of my own.
55:09Never thought that dream
55:10would be fulfilled
55:11by my son.
55:12Our family has come this far
55:14all because
55:14Haisheng made us proud.
55:16Mom,
55:17Dad,
55:17this is just the beginning.
55:19Once the company
55:20grows a bit more,
55:22I'm going to take you
55:23to see the wider world.
55:25Good.
55:26Dad will be waiting.
55:29Honey,
55:29what do you think
55:30our future will be like?
55:32It'll only get better.
55:33The best decision
55:35I ever made in my life
55:36was never giving up.
55:37Thank you, honey.
55:38For what?
55:39For giving me
55:39such a good life.
55:41For never giving up.
55:42Silly,
55:42I should be thanking you
55:43for always being by my side.
55:45Along this journey,
55:46I've learned a few things.
55:47First,
55:48never give up on yourself.
55:49Second,
55:50if you work hard enough,
55:51an ordinary person
55:52can live an extraordinary life.
55:54Third,
55:54one person's wealth
55:55means nothing.
55:56True wealth
55:56is shared prosperity.
55:58The road ahead
55:59is still long.
56:00But I believe
56:01as long as our family
56:02stays together,
56:03nothing can stand
56:04in our way.
56:34And if you realize
