I don't dare dream of being with her,

but I still want to do something for her.

Did you understand'?

The professor said to skip this chapter.

We won't be tested on it.

The whole chapter? Are you sure?

Don't worry!

Anran, as a new immigrant in the U.S.

it's hard to work and study,

are you worried?

What to worry about? I'll see when I get there.

What's so great about the U.S.?

They say everyone lives in a basement apartment at the beginning,

and use things they find from a dumpster,

and stuff like that.

They make a living by washing dishes and other tough jobs.

When they can't stand it, some girls would find a foreigner.

To marry a westerner?

You think Anran can stand it?

That's why I need to make more money

so she can have a better life.

Why send her away if you're in love with her'?

Sacrifice so much for nothing!

Yes, I do love her,

but she's meant for a different life.

You'll never get rich by

selling those one by one.

Of course not!

A friend of mine owns a factory in Guangzhou,

he's placing orders with me to do wholesale.

That's not easy. What about the buyers?

Coming.

Besides, we still have an edge.

In 3 to 5 years,

everyone will be wearing the clothes I make.

How long?

3 years

Can Anran wait?

What happens in the meantime'?

If you want to make easy money,

you must get into foreign exchange.

You don't get it?

International finance brings in

the cash quicker than your trade.

You can make enough on the spread alone.

Ill hook you up with connections.

How much can you make from this nonsense?

Forget it!

Brother Ping!

Long time no see...

- He is... - My buddy, Zhao Yongyuan.

Hello!

He wants to be part of the team, help him out...

OK, come this way.

Let's go!

What's the rate?

Are you kidding?

8.6 is fair.

- Brother Hai! - Brother!

Help me collect the money!

Old Liu!

Not again!

Who is it?

I told you about him.

Don't! Hai is here.

Hai?

What?

- He's the local boss. - Still want to exchange?

- Yes! - No...

I've seen him before.

Let's go...

Run away.

Hua, let's go!

Congratulations, you finally got your visa.

Don't forget us after you go to the U.S.

I won't.

We have to go.

Let's go.

What's this?

I don't want it.

Anran!

Stop it!

Where are we going?

Who are you?

You've a lot of nerve

doing business on our turf!

- You want to die? - Let's get out of here.

Nice chick.

Beat the crap out of him!

Go

Go get him!

Come inside!

Oh my God!

You've a business to run,

why mess with them?

I want to make some quick cash for you.

I don't want your money.

You're a fool!

I used to hate school,

now I think it's quite a nice place.

Ill wait for you at the bus stop tomorrow night.
