Hong Kong Films: I'm Reborn, So Why Still Run with the Gang?

Gu Zhengyi is reborn in 1980s Hong Kong, becoming the lowest-ranking 49er in the Wo Shing Wo triad.

From the start, he can't even afford a bowl of noodles, and his boss is already pushing him to grab territory with a knife.

Watching Fire Leopard and Dai Bei, who know nothing but shouting and fighting, Gu Zhengyi sneers. "I'm reborn, so why would I still be a lowlife thug?"

While others risk life and limb in bloody battles, he leads his brothers to make money and go legit! Join a gang? Better to become a business magnate!

After awakening the Business Trait System, he starts by finding bargains on VCDs at night markets and teaming up with Jimmy to sell knockoffs, building a business empire from there!

Big D's wife is exasperated. "Yi, Big D sent you to plant a flag, and you bought the whole street?"

Crow flips a table. "You make more selling knockoffs than I do! That's not how the underworld works!"

Raymond Yiu-yang sighs. "In the face of Boss Gu's capital, I'm just a cat, not the Thunder Tiger!"

He recruits Fat Mantis to make erotic films and Engineer Jiang for his tech ventures. Even Szeto Kwong, representative of the four major property developers, has to watch his every move!

When senior police officials like Lui Chi-lim and Lui Ming-wah meet him, they respectfully address him as "Chairman Gu!"

Gu Zhengyi exhales a cigar and looks at the tens of thousands of former gangsters in suits behind him. "I'm just a respectable businessman. It's perfectly reasonable to have a few more employees than most, right?"
