Hong Kong: I Started by Smuggling from Tokyo and Invading the Business World

The rating just came out. It'll go up later!!!

The moment he wakes up reborn, Zheng Shuo realizes he's lying in a cowshed at East University in 1973.

The atmosphere is tense, the slogans glaring, and every gaze around him feels like a knife!

He's the son of a capitalist, newly branded one of the “Five Black Categories,” and every step he takes is on a knife's edge!

Before fear can swallow him, his instinct to survive kicks in first!!!

One rainy night, he climbs aboard a freight train leaving East University for Hong Kong, curled up between the slatted shutters and the tarpaulin, breathing in a world where cold and freedom mingle.

His parents had already foreseen the coming storm.

The two bankbooks they secretly left him before disaster struck become the first spark that lets him turn the tables against all odds.

But what truly ignites his ambition is the “parting gift” bestowed upon him by Mother Earth: a super AI, bound to his soul, capable of simulating everything and seeing into the future.

In the 1970s, Hong Kong is on the cusp of a turbulent new era.

British capital is retreating, Chinese businesspeople are rising, the beginnings of the Four Great Families are taking shape, and the Ten Richest are quietly jockeying for power.

This is a hunting ground for capital and a crucible for dreams.

With AI as his chess pieces and the times as his board, Zheng Shuo sees through traps with a cool eye and stakes his claim early in the real estate boom.

He stirs up the entertainment industry and becomes known as a technological disruptor.

He rises from poor, backward East University to the skyscrapers of Central, transforming from an unknown “Mainlander” into the formidable “Mr. Zheng.”
