The Boxing Champion Is Reborn: Running with the Hong Kong Underworld

Lu Tao, winner of the WBC gold belt and the latest world boxing champion, arrives in 1990s Hong Kong after an accident. With no other way to make ends meet, he joins a gang and becomes a “triad punk.” Relying on his brains and loyalty, he makes plenty of friends and connections with big shots. In the end, he rises from a nobody at the bottom to become a gang boss. Along the way, Lu Tao meets powerful figures who made waves in the 1990s, including Zhang Ziqiang and Jiadai, and becomes their sworn brother. He then marries a beautiful, wealthy woman.

In 1996, thanks to his relationship with Zhang Ziqiang, Lu Tao helps the Li family change the course of history and successfully resolves the family’s notorious kidnapping crisis. With the support and guidance of his father-in-law and the Li family, Lu Tao establishes himself as a successful businessman.

Later, seeking to expand his gang, Lu Tao goes overseas to set up an overseas branch of 14K. There he meets Srirami, and thanks to his help, she becomes Maha’s consort. Then the Asian financial crisis breaks out. Drawing on memories from his previous life, Lu Tao helps Thailand win the baht war.

As Hong Kong’s handover approaches, Western financial magnates once again set their sights on the Hong Kong dollar. Because Lu Tao had helped Thailand win its currency war, Hong Kong and mainland officials jointly appoint him as a “special representative.” He goes on to win this financial battle as well. Thanks to his record of achievements, he earns the favor of senior officials and successfully washes his hands of his criminal past.
