Alors que le yacht de Nerio navigue un soir près de Hong Kong, un plongeur surgit et attrape l'homme d'affaires pour l'entraîner sous l'eau et le noyer.
+
The multimillionaire Nerio Winch has officially drowned. At the head of the financial empire, the Group W, his death is forcibly suspicious. An unexpected heir then surfaces: Largo, adopted secretly by Nerio.
  
Le même jour, Largo arrive dans un village du Mato Grosso pour se faire un tatouage qui le rendra invincible. Entendant les cris d'une femme, Léa, il intervient et en vient à se battre avec des policiers véreux.
+
While Nerio's yacht sails one evening near Hong Kong, a diver comes into sight and catches the businessman to draw him away under the water and drowns him.
  
Largo parvient à s'enfuir avec Léa. Plus tard, ils font l'amour. Profitant du sommeil de Largo, Léa lui injecte une drogue. Des policiers viennent arrêter Largo, intoxiqué, et découvrent des sachets de drogue. Le chef des policiers lui annonce qu'il passera 50 ans de sa vie en prison.
+
The same day, Largo comes in a village of Mato Grosso to make a tattoo which will make him invincible. Hearing the cries of a woman, Léa, he intervenes and comes to fight with suspicious policemen.
  
Un policier vient chercher Largo à sa cellule le lendemain. Celui-ci, feignant d'être inconscient, parvient à prendre le revolver au policier et à l'enfermer, lui et son co-équipier. Largo se dirige vers le bureau du chef des policiers et découvre Freddy, un fidèle de Nerio, en train d'acheter sa liberté et lui annonce la mort de Nerio. Largo refuse l'aide et assomme le chef des policiers. Les deux s'enfuient.
+
Largo manages to run away with Léa. Later, they make love. Taking advantage of Largo's sleep, Léa injects him with a drug. Policemen come to stop Largo, poisoned, and discover sachets of drug. The chief of the policemen announces him that he will pass 50 years of his life in prison.
  
Freddy et Largo s'emparent d'une camionnette et défoncent la porte en acier après avoir détruit deux automobiles et deux motocyclettes, pendant que des policiers tirent des coups de feu en leur direction. Alors qu'ils descendent une pente, Largo s'aperçoit que les freins de leur véhicule ne fonctionnent plus. Ils évitent de justesse un camion mais, plus bas, ils percutent le rebord de la route et leur véhicule fait des tonneaux, s'arrêtant sur la chaussée.
+
A policeman comes to get Largo in his cell the following day. This one, pretending to be unconscious, manages to get the revolver from the policeman and to lock him up, him and his team mate. Largo heads for the office of the chief of the policemen and discovers Freddy, a loyal supporter of Nerio buying his freedom and announces him the death of Nerio. Largo refuses his assistance and stuns the leader of the policemen. The two run away.
  
Le camion qu'ils ont raté de peu descend vers eux. Largo s'extrait de la camionnette et doit aider Freddy à s'en extraire. Une fraction de seconde plus tard, le camion fauche leur camionnette.
+
Freddy and Largo take over a van and break down the steel door after having destroyed two cars and two motorcycles, while policemen fire shots in their direction. While they take a slope down, Largo realizes that the brakes of their vehicle don't work any more. They avoid a truck by chance, lower down, they hit the ledge of the road and their vehicle makes barrels, stopping on the roadway.
  
Le lendemain, les deux se retrouvent à Hong Kong, où Largo doit être officiellement présenté comme l'héritier du [[Groupe W]]. En parallèle, les cadres supérieurs du groupe discutent de l'avenir du conglomérat, le plus grand à avoir été détenu par une seule personne. Ann Ferguson leur annonce qu'il existe un héritier dont elle a entendu parler pour la première fois le jour d'avant.
+
The truck which they just missed goes down towards them. Largo climbs out of the van and has to help Freddy to climb out of it. A split second later, the truck mows their van.
  
Alors que les cadres supérieurs discutent, Largo leur est présenté. Des cadres l'interrogent, incapables d'accepter qu'une personne aussi jeune puisse prendre les rênes d'un tel empire financier. Un haut gradé de la société s'introduit dans la salle de réunion pour mettre en garde Largo, mais il est abattu par un tireur depuis une pièce masquée par une vitre teintée. Largo poursuit le tireur et se retrouve dans une luxueuse salle d'aisance. Il est pris à partie par le chef de la sécurité, Stephan Marcus qui se rend aussitôt compte de son erreur. Le tueur semble avoir disparu.
+
The following day, the two meet in Hong Kong, where Largo must be officially introduced as the heir of the Group W. At the same time, the senior managements of the group discuss the future of the conglomerate, the biggest to have been kept by a single person. Ann Ferguson makes the announcement that there is a heir of whom she heard for the first time the former day.
  
Largo apprend que le Groupe W subit, discrètement, une OPA hostile. Pour la contrer, Ferguson propose de s'emparer du groupe de Korsky en quelques jours. Pour que cette opération réussisse, le groupe doit emprunter 3 milliards USD, ce qui est vu comme impossible puisqu'il est dans une situation précaire et doit publiquement annoncer son intention de le faire, ce qui permettra à Korsky de se rendre moins vulnérable.
+
While senior managements discuss, Largo is introduced to them. The higher staff question him, unable to accept that such a young person could take the reins of such a financial empire. A society's top graded gets into the meeting room to warn Largo, but he is slaughtered by a shooter from a room concealed by a tinted window pane. Largo runs after the shooter and finds himself in a luxurious room. He is taken by the leader of security, Stephan Marcus who immediately realizes his error. The killer seems to have disappeared.
  
Ferguson fait remarquer qu'un particulier peut lancer une OPA hostile sans la rendre publique. Largo peut emprunter 3 milliards USD en mettant en garantie ses parts du Groupe W. Par contre, la légitimité de Largo en tant que successeur est encore disputée. Il affirme qu'il sera de retour d'ici 24 heures avec les parts du groupe, qui sont officiellement inscrites au Liechtenstein.
+
Largo learns that the Group W is discreetly going through a hostile takeover bid. To counter it, Ferguson offers to take over Korsky's group in a couple of days. For this operation to succeed, the group must borrow 3 thousand millions USD, what is seen as impossible since he is in a precarious situation and must announce publicly his intention of doing it, that will allow Korsky to become less vulnerable.
  
Mais tout cela cache un piège.
+
Ferguson points out that an individual can throw a hostile takeover bid without making it public. Largo can possibly borrow 3 thousand millions USD by putting in guarantee his shares of the Group W. On the contrary, one still discusses for the legitimacy of Largo as successor. He maintains that he will be back in 24 hours with the parts of the group, which are officially registered in Liechtenstein.

Synopsis

Photographie du tournage

The multimillionaire Nerio Winch has officially drowned. At the head of the financial empire, the Group W, his death is forcibly suspicious. An unexpected heir then surfaces: Largo, adopted secretly by Nerio.

While Nerio's yacht sails one evening near Hong Kong, a diver comes into sight and catches the businessman to draw him away under the water and drowns him.

The same day, Largo comes in a village of Mato Grosso to make a tattoo which will make him invincible. Hearing the cries of a woman, Léa, he intervenes and comes to fight with suspicious policemen.

Largo manages to run away with Léa. Later, they make love. Taking advantage of Largo's sleep, Léa injects him with a drug. Policemen come to stop Largo, poisoned, and discover sachets of drug. The chief of the policemen announces him that he will pass 50 years of his life in prison.

A policeman comes to get Largo in his cell the following day. This one, pretending to be unconscious, manages to get the revolver from the policeman and to lock him up, him and his team mate. Largo heads for the office of the chief of the policemen and discovers Freddy, a loyal supporter of Nerio buying his freedom and announces him the death of Nerio. Largo refuses his assistance and stuns the leader of the policemen. The two run away.

Freddy and Largo take over a van and break down the steel door after having destroyed two cars and two motorcycles, while policemen fire shots in their direction. While they take a slope down, Largo realizes that the brakes of their vehicle don't work any more. They avoid a truck by chance, lower down, they hit the ledge of the road and their vehicle makes barrels, stopping on the roadway.

The truck which they just missed goes down towards them. Largo climbs out of the van and has to help Freddy to climb out of it. A split second later, the truck mows their van.

The following day, the two meet in Hong Kong, where Largo must be officially introduced as the heir of the Group W. At the same time, the senior managements of the group discuss the future of the conglomerate, the biggest to have been kept by a single person. Ann Ferguson makes the announcement that there is a heir of whom she heard for the first time the former day.

While senior managements discuss, Largo is introduced to them. The higher staff question him, unable to accept that such a young person could take the reins of such a financial empire. A society's top graded gets into the meeting room to warn Largo, but he is slaughtered by a shooter from a room concealed by a tinted window pane. Largo runs after the shooter and finds himself in a luxurious room. He is taken by the leader of security, Stephan Marcus who immediately realizes his error. The killer seems to have disappeared.

For this operation to succeed, the group must borrow 3 thousand millions USD, what is seen as impossible since he is in a precarious situation and must announce publicly his intention of doing it, that will allow Korsky to become less vulnerable.

Ferguson points out that an individual can throw a hostile takeover bid without making it public. Largo can possibly borrow 3 thousand millions USD by putting in guarantee his shares of the Group W. On the contrary, one still discusses for the legitimacy of Largo as successor. He maintains that he will be back in 24 hours with the parts of the group, which are officially registered in Liechtenstein.

But all that hides a trap.
