No precise subtitles affect the understanding of the film

This movie was first watched on CCTV. It can be seen that it is changed from the drama, the scene is relatively fixed, there are not many characters, and the drama conflicts strongly. At that time, I thought it was a good movie. However, because of the translation problem, I don’t understand in some places: Why do you want to steal the contract? How can the contract be sold for money? Later, after watching the Blu-ray download, I realized that the stealer was LEAD, not CONTRACT. According to the understanding of the plot, LEAD should be customer information, and salesmen can conduct telemarketing based on this. my country's national conditions at the time were limited. Without this industry, the translation did not understand the economy, so it was taken for granted that it was translated into a contract. Now the sales of customer information in our country has become an industry, and it is said that they are all bought from banks. After downloading a few subtitles, I feel that the translation is basically based on CCTV back then, almost not very accurate.
