Opportunity is not business at all

The essence of business is barter, which is a truth that primitive people know. Today's people use fraud to benefit, after all, they are lazy. I don’t want to earn hard money, but dirty money comes and goes quickly. When we feel that we are not worthy of the money, squandering is the inevitable end. Besides, most people are punished by law if they fail to spend it.

The film tells the story of a college student who opened a small casino in the school, and was very happy, but when his father, a judge, found out, he was furious. He always cared about his father's approval and thought he was looking for a "decent job". Under the introduction of a professional manager, he joined a financial fraud and was eventually caught by the FBI. Eventually he woke up and reunited with his father.

I think the father-son line is the highlight of the film. The father is also a key figure in the story. The misunderstanding with his father since he was a child and the eagerness to imagine his father to prove himself have always been problems in many of our families. The father shoulders the burden of the judge. Social roles, and is not good at dealing with "men" family relationships, can understand. Or persuade people to work hard and not take ill-gotten gains
