Reborn: I Am Li Jiacheng

Bang! A gunshot sends Li Jiacheng back to Hong Kong Island in the turbulent yet opportunity-filled 1980s.

He founds the Goldlion clothing company and the Libiyang sportswear brand, expanding into apparel.

He founds Haili Aquatic Products and acquires the Peninsula Hotel, expanding into food.

He acquires Swire Properties and establishes Dili Construction, expanding into housing.

He acquires the Hongkong Electric Company and the Star Ferry, expanding into transportation.

He founds the Baolilai Media Company and acquires PolyGram and TVB.

He establishes Guli Securities and Investment, throwing his weight around during financial crises and devouring capital.

In the end, Hong Kong residents will realize that whether it's clothing, food, housing, transportation, or entertainment, they can't escape one conglomerate: the Qingtian Century Group.

As a line about Li Jiacheng in TIME magazine's Hong Kong City goes: "He's like a giant crocodile. The moment he smells the stench of money, he swallows it whole, without exception!"
