It's impossible to move three billion. 06:03.790 --> 06:06.059 At retail price, isn't that over ten billion? 06:06.479 --> 06:07.479 So we have a problem. 06:07.865 --> 06:08.865 How do we solve it? 06:12.487 --> 06:16.142 First, we have to do what Gi-tae didn't. I'll start by reporting to the Deputy GM. 06:16.143 --> 06:18.075 Assistant Manager Jang, you'll come with me. 06:18.496 --> 06:19.965 And Assistant Manager Yang and Ji-hye, 06:19.966 --> 06:22.824 - find Gi-tae and bring him to me. - Yes. 06:23.160 --> 06:24.160 Team Leader. 06:24.296 --> 06:25.660 Can't I go with you to make the report? 06:28.409 --> 06:33.203 I only said that because you're close to Gi-tae... 06:33.829 --> 06:36.729 Being close is one thing, but in a case like this-- 06:36.730 --> 06:37.509 Well, I'll go then. 06:37.510 --> 06:38.510 It's fine. 06:40.929 --> 06:43.057 Let's do that. 06:43.143 --> 06:44.547 Yes. 06:48.422 --> 06:49.485 Is he in? 06:50.040 --> 06:51.040 Yes. 06:54.449 --> 06:55.449 Come in. 07:02.521 --> 07:03.521 Where's Park Gi-tae? 07:04.310 --> 07:05.310 They've gone to get him. 07:08.126 --> 07:10.610 Aren't purchase orders your job? Did you not check it? 07:12.556 --> 07:16.697 The initial draft was for 250 million. After review, I revised it to 300 million, 07:17.815 --> 07:20.672 - but I failed to check it properly. - Are you bragging? 07:22.370 --> 07:23.370 I apologize. 07:25.292 --> 07:27.130 Wasn't it just the other day the General Manager said 07:27.131 --> 07:28.344 to report every single penny? 07:31.312 --> 07:33.612 Let's say you're off the hook since you reported it to me. 07:33.989 --> 07:34.989 But what about me, huh? 07:36.561 --> 07:37.702 Now I have to report it? 07:39.669 --> 07:42.969 If you give me three days, I think I can resolve it. 07:43.524 --> 07:47.665 And I should be able to fix the numbers before the quarterly report. 07:50.100 --> 07:53.700 "I can" and "I think I can." 07:54.439 --> 07:57.140 Those are two very different things. Which is it? 07:58.060 --> 07:59.180 - I think I can. - Damn it. 08:03.346 --> 08:04.354 Go on, then. 08:05.100 --> 08:07.073 In three days, you will report back no matter what. 08:07.381 --> 08:10.407 Whether you report a minor incident occurred, 08:10.494 --> 08:13.521 or you report a major catastrophe, is up to you two. 08:14.354 --> 08:15.354 Yes, sir. 08:21.547 --> 08:23.652 But did you send Jang Hyang-eun to get Park Gi-tae? 08:23.740 --> 08:24.740 You didn't go? 08:24.899 --> 08:25.899 Yes. 08:26.639 --> 08:27.680 Lee Ji-hye went with her. 08:28.021 --> 08:30.630 Why act so out of character? You should have done the usual. 08:34.948 --> 08:36.349 First, solve the problem. 08:37.160 --> 08:38.582 And bring Park Gi-tae back alive. 08:39.313 --> 08:40.313 Yes. 08:40.448 --> 08:41.448 Do you have a plan? 08:46.643 --> 08:48.989 - I believe so. - You piece of shit. 09:02.981 --> 09:04.237 You can get some sleep. 09:04.950 --> 09:06.250 No, I'm okay. 09:07.085 --> 09:09.171 You can be comfortable around me. Do I make you uncomfortable? 09:09.880 --> 09:11.716 No, not at all. 09:12.592 --> 09:15.262 I just want to remain respectful. 09:16.181 --> 09:18.059 "Be comfortable" doesn't mean you can be rude, right? 09:18.643 --> 09:20.019 Right. 09:25.194 --> 09:27.531 What was life in China like? 09:29.409 --> 09:30.409 It was no fun. 09:30.796 --> 09:33.639 When people become expats, the men tend to go wild 09:33.725 --> 09:35.449 and the women tend to get bored. 09:36.569 --> 09:37.904 I feel like all I did was work. 09:40.575 --> 09:42.470 I can see that. 09:43.419 --> 09:44.419 Is that why you came back? 09:47.000 --> 09:48.379 You haven't heard any of the rumors about me? 09:50.799 --> 09:51.840 What kind of rumors? 09:52.420 --> 09:54.532 That I fled China after being caught for corruption. 09:54.533 --> 09:56.854 That I slept with a top executive to get off easy. 09:57.351 --> 10:00.832 Who I'm supposedly dating on which team. That all the clothes I wear are fakes. 10:01.329 --> 10:03.110 That I'm seen at the knockoff stalls in Dongdaemun. 10:03.111 --> 10:04.644 That I spend more on clothes than I make. 10:05.639 --> 10:06.639 Those are just the ones I know of... 10:07.500 --> 10:08.793 You've never heard any of them? 10:09.420 --> 10:12.100 No, I haven't heard any of them. 10:12.779 --> 10:17.623 All I've ever heard from our team is what an incredible ace you are. 10:18.727 --> 10:22.000 If it weren't for our team, I probably would have quit. 10:22.340 --> 10:24.591 On any other team, they would've probably asked 10:24.677 --> 10:26.504 if the rumors were true, what happened in China 10:27.014 --> 10:28.118 and kept prying for details. 10:29.647 --> 10:32.707 But you can't just put up with it, can you? 10:33.940 --> 10:34.940 I do want to do something. 10:36.399 --> 10:37.779 But I don't know how. 10:39.019 --> 10:41.460 You can't really debunk rumors that are spread behind your back. 10:42.742 --> 10:45.802 People will believe what they want to believe anyway... 10:45.803 --> 10:47.458 I just have to hope for more nonbelievers. 10:53.621 --> 10:56.765 You think LAKNES really didn't know it was a mistake? 10:57.965 --> 11:00.323 You know they did. There's no way they didn't. 11:01.398 --> 11:03.301 I mean, even if we were the ones who made a mistake, 11:03.922 --> 11:05.452 this is still seriously infuriating. 11:05.783 --> 11:06.982 What can we do about it? 11:06.983 --> 11:09.216 It's a world where one slip-up gets you torn to shreds. 11:10.664 --> 11:14.677 The simple solution would be to just find more distributors. 11:15.339 --> 11:17.903 But it's not like distributors just grow on trees. 11:19.807 --> 11:20.840 Actually, there is one. 11:22.950 --> 11:24.590 So, about that, Team Leader. 11:25.697 --> 11:28.444 We have to spin this extra shipment so that it wasn't a mistake. 11:36.360 --> 11:40.749 LAKNES 11:43.045 --> 11:44.685 Hello, Team Leader Gong. 11:44.686 --> 11:46.285 Yes, hello, Director. 11:47.639 --> 11:50.386 You requested a conference call so suddenly, so I looked into it, 11:50.387 --> 11:52.250 and the extra order is much larger than we expected. 11:53.228 --> 11:56.080 Yes, it would have been helpful if you had confirmed the amount. 11:56.464 --> 11:57.571 I regret that as well. 11:57.996 --> 12:00.508 Our manager likely assumed it wasn't an extra shipment, 12:00.509 --> 12:02.424 but a regular one. 12:02.425 --> 12:03.424 I see. 12:03.425 --> 12:06.383 It's been two months since the last regular order was placed, 12:06.384 --> 12:07.383 so he must have thought 12:07.384 --> 12:09.109 this was just an early delivery of the next one. 12:09.790 --> 12:12.336 Yes, well, it may not be our fault, 12:12.337 --> 12:14.190 but let's resolve this together. 12:18.390 --> 12:21.990 But about that-- 12:26.490 --> 12:27.490 It wasn't a mistake. 12:28.002 --> 12:28.974 What other sales channels do we have? 12:28.975 --> 12:29.975 We have our Select Shop. 12:30.233 --> 12:31.794 Not a mistake? Then I'm going to need an explanation. 12:32.310 --> 12:35.169 Yes, it was a sudden decision so I couldn't tell you in advance. 12:35.170 --> 12:36.903 We plan on featuring LAKNES 12:36.904 --> 12:39.189 in the Multi-brand Shoe Store we're launching. 12:39.865 --> 12:42.192 Oh, really? 12:42.743 --> 12:46.126 So that's why you increased the order quantity? 12:46.127 --> 12:49.977 Yes. We were supposed to place the order after negotiating the invoice price, 12:49.978 --> 12:51.120 but there was a mix-up. 12:52.474 --> 12:54.504 You want to renegotiate the price? 12:54.505 --> 12:56.281 Yes. The order volume has increased significantly. 12:56.822 --> 12:58.370 Naturally, the price needs to be adjusted. 13:00.129 --> 13:01.129 To how much? 13:02.647 --> 13:03.796 Enough to justify it. 13:04.166 --> 13:08.228 To be honest, there's some opposition to including LAKNES in the Select Shop. 13:08.556 --> 13:10.156 From the other brands. 13:10.362 --> 13:13.727 They're resistant to the idea of selling LAKNES shoes alongside theirs. 13:14.465 --> 13:17.747 I'm very sorry that things were done out of order. 13:17.748 --> 13:20.470 We're hoping LAKNES can give us some justification. 13:21.992 --> 13:24.120 What's the scale of this Select Shop? 13:25.389 --> 13:27.610 We're opening forty branches at once. 13:28.410 --> 13:29.410 Forty branches... 13:34.890 --> 13:36.052 The price for the additional volume... 13:37.630 --> 13:39.123 Would two billion be acceptable? 13:42.487 --> 13:46.264 Yes, I think that's a reasonable price.
