Nanyang Tycoon: Starting with a Hong Kong Garment Factory

[Hong Kong tycoon + big spender + triads + Hong Kong entertainment + business wars + System + summoned armies + stealing a nation and founding a country] Ma Long transmigrates to Hong Kong in 1974, becoming the son of the leader of the Haisheng Society, a remnant of the Green Gang. These are the best of times, and the worst of times. The Independent Commission Against Corruption has just been established, and it launches a major offensive against the four great families led by Cripple Ho. The four great detectives and triad bosses large and small flee as soon as they hear the news. Hong Kong’s underworld is suddenly plunged into its darkest hour: leaderless, divided among warlords, rife with power struggles and bloody violence. Meanwhile, the 1973 stock market crash has just passed, leaving the financial sector, including banks and the stock market, in ruins. Industry, real estate, and businesses dealing in everyday consumer goods are booming, thanks to the cheap labor and ample purchasing power brought by the large numbers of people fleeing to Hong Kong. On top of that, the Middle East wars, the Vietnam War ceasefire, European integration, Reform and Opening Up, and the Hiroshima Accord bring this small city unprecedented opportunities. A golden-scaled fish is no creature of a pond. Given the right winds and clouds, it becomes a dragon! Standing at the forefront of the times, Ma Long is determined to soar to the heavens!
