A Wealthy Hong Kong Socialite Goes on a Spending Spree in the 1950S

**The Golden Age of the Money-Obsessed Couple** When Andy wakes up, she’s become the “wealthy mainlander wife” everyone on Hong Kong Island knows in the 1960s. The Hong Kong she remembers, a world of extravagant pleasures, has become the mottled streets before her, with trams rattling past. Andy grins: This is an age paved with gold, and she’s here to mine it! **Her penny-pinching partner is in action!** Her husband is so frugal he dries and reuses even the dregs of tea? Perfect! She’ll cut the cost of her street-side milk tea stand to the bone. The “Pearl Milk Tea” craze sweeps from Mong Kok across Hong Kong, coins clinking into the metal cash box. **With the historical script in hand, she’ll buy the dip and never look back!** A run on Hang Seng Bank sweeps through Central? While everyone else sells, she goes all in! “Mr. Jian, put the tea stand’s earnings on the line and buy it!” When the boardroom doors open, she’s the only Chinese shareholder in a qipao. Hong Kong’s property market collapses overnight, and the tycoons scramble to abandon ship? “Central plots at 30 percent off? Wanchai tenements for the price of cabbage? I’ll take them all!” Andy leverages her bank loans to scoop up property deeds whose value has plunged to rock bottom. Under the neon lights, the keys to half the street jingle in her palm. A historic Parisian brand is nearing bankruptcy, its luxury window displays gathering dust? “Dior’s pattern-makers, Balenciaga’s tailors: bring them to Hong Kong!” Eastern embroidery winds around haute couture hemlines, while cloisonne buttons lock down the lifeblood of luxury. Before LVMH is even out of its cradle, her empire has already crossed mountains and seas. **From a tea stall to a business empire, from a reckless rich wife to a queen of capital,** this time, she’ll seize the gears of history and make sure every gold coin in Hong Kong bears Andy’s name!
