Nose to the grindstone, huh?
Pardon? Yes, sir. Nose, grindstone, definitely.
I didn't realize you had such hidden talents.
Me... me?
You keep right on with what you're doing.
Sir?
A man's got to stop worrying about what others think.
He should have the courage of his convictions.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
I've got my eye on you. Keep it up.
Sir.
Wait, what're you...
Why can't you sign the contract? Only yesterday...
I'm sorry, but I signed with a different firm.
Which firm?
Your competitor, Myungin Products.
- Did they offer better terms, sir? - Sure did.
It was weird how they knew all the terms of your offer and topped them all.
How could we refuse? Anyway, sorry about that.
But.. but...
What'll happen to us now?
What'd I tell you?
Don't get cocky, I said. Strike while the iron is hot.
Now Myungin's got our supplier. What do you propose to do?
We're looking into an Australian supplier, sir.
Um...
What?
Two years ago I read an article...
about how small ranches are working together to create a common brand.
They each contributed and the brand saw a 20% order increase overall.
This co-operative brand can doubtless supply the 140 tons we need each year.
And?
They're not big, but perhaps we should sign with a smaller, effective supplier?
Is that... a good idea?
Good idea or not, I guess we'll find out.
You've heard about the HUGE project my husband's been assigned.
He would've preferred a better staff, but since he's SO talented...
So talented that he's only had one big project?
My husband's had three already.
Shut up. I'm having a little chat with my team here.
So anyway, they're going to the country this weekend on business.
So I said we'd join them.
All of us?
Why should the wives go on a business trip?
Like you haven't?
I know ALL about
you getting foot massages with the buyers' wives when they came to Seoul.
What are you talking about?
Foot massage.
Anyway, keep it in mind. Ready, break!
Right.
Right.
Oh, and um... Ji-ae...
Please give the president's wife our best.
If I have a chance.
Sure, sure, keep it free and easy. But "try," alright?
- Okey-dokey. - Let's do it!
- Just great. - Isn't it?
- Honey Bunny... - Oh yeah.
Enjoy.
We're hoping to contract for a year's supply of 140 tons.
Please take a few minutes to look over the terms.
We said you didn't want you here, but you came anyway.
We're sure you'll find the contract satisfactory.
Some 10 years ago I signed with a big outfit and got the bad part of the deal.
I've learned to keep my profit small and to stay away from big outfits.
Sign with us and you'll be rich.
What do we care for rich? We have enough for our needs now.
You're saying we should risk everything for some quick cash.
Isn't that right?
- Exactly right. - Of course.
Aren't you just the prettiest thing?
You spend hours working in the sun. But it's so *** the skin, you know?
Too true, too true...
What's this? It smells nice. Very refreshing.
This is a Paprika Pack. We mix paprika and milk and lentil powder.
They're all ground together.
It removes wrinkles and liver spots. Even lightens the skin.
It doesn't sound too hard to make.
Not at all. You can make a cabbage pack, potato pack, even a spinach pack.
I'll leave the instructions and samples. Make sure you use them.
Thank you.
Ji-ae, you're a real pro.
Just standard operating procedure.
Well done. Just what I was hoping for.
Oh, isn't one of you married to the head of the Co-op...
That's me.
- Take this. - Oh...
Please allow me to give you a hand massage.
I met the Co-op leader early. Quite a good-looking man.
Pssh. He's all man, that's a fact.
Oh, he's got manly looks, for sure.
And he seems the kind to listen to his loving wife.
He does what he's told, it's true.
Oh, not too much laughter, ma'am. We can't have any wrinkles.
My, my, work all day and still you keep your hands so soft and pretty.
You think?
Well, that's that. Just need to let them dry.
Oh dear, what'll we do?
It's time to feed the cattle and we've got fresh manicures.
- So true... - So true...
What'll we..?
Dig in. Yummy.
Fresh grass, I said. What's this dry gunk?
Fresh, I said. Fresh.
Go clean the manure. It reeks, ugh...
What'd I ever do to deserve this?
My husband doesn't know what I go through for him.
Ma'am, that's cow food.
Why didn't you say something? Blech..! Icky-blech!
We've told you where we stand. What else is there to say?
We thought you might have concerns, so we prepared this...
This is a straight-forward discussion of current health food trends...
regarding natural ingredients versus MSG and artificial additives in Korean beef.
We worked in comparable figures for the Japanese market.
Conservative estimates project 150% growth in the coming year.
Although we are offering a year contract, this is not a short-term investment.
Quite the opposite.
Your ranch will benefit from long-term market growth and stability.
Supplying a big name company will also help in promoting your beef.
- I was just gonna say that! - Yeah, me, too!
Big city corporate suits are all talk. But they know squat about cattle.
It's a waste of breath to try and explain.
- Well, let's just go. - It's market day anyway.
- What a waste of time. - Ugh, like I got nothin' better to do...
I don't think we need to worry.
Those ranchers are a stubborn, uncooperative breed.
They've had some very attractive offers but never signed a contract yet.
This failure will curtail their preparation time.
Yes, sir. They'll have trouble getting their product ready for the retail market.
Be prepared. This may come to a head sooner than we thought�
