Wall Street's top financial tycoon, Huo Tingyao, is unexpectedly reborn in Xiangjiang in 1979.
When he opens his eyes, he's in a hellish situation from the start.
His grandfather has mysteriously fallen into the sea, his second uncle has colluded with British-owned firms to seize the family fortune, and his fiancee tears up their engagement in public to sever all ties.
As the eldest grandson of the Huo family, he is forced to take over a hollow family business on the verge of bankruptcy, burdened with an astonishing five hundred million Hong Kong dollars in debt!
All of Hong Kong Island is waiting to see this spoiled young master jump off a building.
Faced with foreign creditors demanding repayment and blood relatives mocking him, Huo Tingyao simply smiles.
He heads into Kowloon Walled City and risks his life to borrow from loan sharks, then turns around and storms into the international crude oil futures market!
One hundred times leverage, going all in on oil!
That year, the Second Oil Crisis erupts and oil prices skyrocket.
Huo Tingyao rakes in tens of billions in a single move, stunning Hong Kong Island!
Then he bares his fangs and begins crushing the competition from an entirely different level.
He shorts his second uncle's company and drives it into bankruptcy; he lays waste to the Hong Kong stock market, gobbling up century-old British firms; he snaps up land like crazy and builds a technology conglomerate with a global monopoly!
The Jardine Group bows its head, Chinese business tycoons stand in awe, and peerless movie stars fall for him.
From bankrupt playboy to shadowy overlord controlling the lifeblood of the global economy, Huo Tingyao needs only ten years.
"The rules? In Hong Kong, I, Huo Tingyao, am the rules!"
Poison, poison, poison.

Who knows where Huo Yingdong is at this time?
Hu Qingle...
Another author who doesn't check anything…
There were no crude oil futures in 1979, and they were still 100 times leveraged.
Very funny plot.
