Hong Kong Crossover: You Asked Me to Manage the Books, So Why Did I Swallow Up the Four Big Trading Houses?

On a rainy night in Mong Kok in 1982, Gu Chengyuan, a double-degree graduate from the London School of Economics, returns to Hong Kong for revenge. He awakens the Heavenly Secrets Deduction System and can see at a glance the fatal weaknesses in Hong Kong's finances and the most dangerous intelligence!

From the start, there's a shootout at Red Romance. Gu Chengyuan nudges his gold-rimmed glasses and slaps the password to Hung Tai's gambling den treasury on Portland Street, 0814, in front of Chen Ze, a fearsome member of the Hung Hing gang. He snatches 23 million in cash and the complete ledger for their drug trade!

Chen Ze uses Bajiquan to cut down enemies and rule the streets. Gu Chengyuan manages the books at Tianze Investments.

At first, all of Hong Kong thinks he's just an office worker who does accounts. Then...

Kwun: "Fuck your mother! I told you to handle Mong Kok's rotten books, and you gave me forty million?!"

Big D: "Why fight over who gets to be boss? Mr. Gu taught me to change shoe labels and sell knockoffs. That's better than printing banknotes!"

Hon Ping: "I asked you to launder three hundred million in dirty money, and you went and built a cinema chain to take on Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest?!"

Wong Bing-yiu: "Ten police cars stormed the Organized Crime Unit, and the barrister stalled them for eight hours. So who's enforcing the law here?"

When the stock market crashes in 1982, Chiang Tin-sang stares at the financial news in disbelief.

"I asked you two to manage some accounts, and you swallowed up four British trading companies: Jardine Matheson, Hongkong Land, Wharf, and Hutchison Whampoa?!"
