My wealth is tied to Hong Kong's GDP: the richer Hong Kong gets, the richer I become!
Liao Dachao, a local boy, was just a laborer hauling bricks at construction sites, and his wages were often docked. Then, on January 1, 1960, he suddenly bound himself to a System that deposited money into his account every day, with the payout tied to Hong Kong's GDP!
On the very first day, he received 40,000!
Once penniless, he became rich overnight!
In an era when wages were barely over 30 and homes cost just 50 per square foot, what an enormous fortune that was!
Houses, cars, women: everything he'd once only dreamed of was suddenly within his reach.
This was the year Hong Kong was still speaking Mandarin.
This was the year Hong Kong wasn't yet the Li family's city.
This was the year Shaw Brothers and Cathay were locked in a fierce struggle, while the movies were full of Huangmei opera.
In this turbulent era, when Chinese-owned businesses were suppressed and struggled to survive, and the economy was on the verge of taking off, Liao Dachao became the man who opened the floodgates. The underworld nicknamed him the Tap.
“You want to open a shop but don't have the money? I'll lend it to you. We can talk about the interest!”
“You want to build a tower but you're short on cash? Come on, let's talk about the interest!”
“You want to make a movie but don't have the money? I'll fund you, though as for the interest...”
An endless stream of money gathered into ponds, lakes, rivers, and seas!
Sweeping everything away!
Finance, real estate, manufacturing, entertainment... everything was a fish in his pond.
Gangs, movie stars, and tycoons alike were all his prey!
A lucky nobody, in a world full of nonstop indulgence.
The cheat codes are good, but the writing is really bad.
It feels like reading a story about the struggles and conflicts within a courtyard house.
I don't feel immersed in it.
What was the author thinking? Putting aside the fact that the natives can't relate, the plot is unpleasant and frustrating—who can stand that? Real life is frustrating enough; why make reading a novel even more frustrating? What's the point? Also, if the author is going to rewrite it, please don't write about soul transmigration.
🤮🤮
The first few chapters were a bit frustrating, but the later ones were better. Those who like Hong Kong variety shows might want to check it out. Overall, it's pretty good. Hopefully, the author can maintain this level of quality.
Who told you to write it like this? Writing it like this, nobody's going to read it, it's so frustrating!
