It took Lu Jingchen ten years to climb from a subdivided house in Sham Shui Po to an office building in Central.
The blockchain settlement system he created can complete cross-border remittances in three minutes, directly threatening Hong Kong's century-old financial order.
At the financial summit, he openly defied traditional banks.
In the first row of the audience, Shen Shijun, the third generation heir to the Shen Group and a former executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and wrote down the name.
That night, the two met narrowly in the elevator.
"Mr. Lu wants to subvert the rules?" Shen Shijun smiled, "What a coincidence, I am the one who makes the rules."
A business marriage was quickly concluded
15% of the shares of Chenxing Technology are exchanged for the full support of Shen Group.
There is also the public identity of Shen Shijun as a director and a "close partner".
Lu Jingchen thought this was just a transaction.
Until he discovered that the black diamond earrings left by his mother were exactly the same pair as the ones in Mrs. Shen's jewelry box.
Until the financial scandal twenty years ago was uncovered, all evidence pointed to his late mother.
Until Shen Shijun chose the latter between family and sincerity.
"Jingchen," Shen Shijun held his hand on a rainy night, "I'm tired of playing this game."
"How about we redefine the rules, there is no superiority or inferiority, only side by side."
Intention: In a world where everyone calculates interests, there are still people who choose to calculate sincerity.
