        Mr. Shi: From now on, you're welcome in China as tourists. But you can't do business here.

        Jimmy: Why?

        Mr. Shi: It's our policy.

        Jimmy: Mr. Shu is also a gangster. Why can he do business in China?

        Mr. Shi: We made a deal, and he's a patriot.

        Jimmy: I can make you a deal. I can be a patriot.

        Mr. Shi: What's your rank in Wo Sing? Not its Chairman?

        Jimmy: If I run for Chairman, will you give me what I want?

      Aka Election 2 -- continuation of crime drama

      It's Election time again , and this time the lead candidates are Kun - the Baton retriever who served jail time for running over cop , and Jimmy - the leading money-maker in the Wo-Sing and Society Favorite ..

      Jimmy doesn't want to run for prez , he wants to go clean as a businessman . But after getting busted in undercover sting, he's coerced by the head Inspector to become the new Chairman if he has any dreams of running business on his grounds .

      Lok on the other hand , doesn't want to give up power either ,, and is plotting a second term which is against Society rules ... As the time ticks closer things get more and more antsy
