In the 1970s, Chen Yan, a heavily indebted construction engineer, disguised himself as a stowaway and stepped into the chaotic and greedy Hong Kong at the end of the British colonial period.
From the humiliation in the dog cage house, to pretending to be a wealthy Nanyang businessman to tease a local tycoon;
From a gambling game of 100 Hong Kong dollars, to the creation of 300 shell companies within one year, forming the "Jiawen Group".
With his keen sense of capital and financial skills that transcended the times, he acquired Jinshan Tower, manipulated the stock market, and faced off against British consortiums with nothing to gain. He was known as the "golden finger" who turned stone into gold.
However, behind the rapidly expanding wealth empire is a dark network of collusion between politics and business, ruthless financial backers, and murderous intentions.
When the stock market crashed, brothers turned against each other, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigated for seventeen years, Chen Yancai discovered——
He is just a white glove that can be discarded at any time in a larger chess game.
Concept: In the turbulent Hong Kong during the British colonial era, the "golden finger" was a weapon that could change one's destiny against the will of heaven, and it was also a shackle that bound human nature - when capital built a tens of billions of empires, it was impossible to escape the double strangulation of the chess game of the times and self-desire.
