In the 1990s, Hong Kong was prosperous and developed. It was the height of its glory.
Some said there were countless opportunities there, and traveled thousands of miles to strike it rich.
Some called it the Hollywood of the East, and dreamed of becoming famous overnight.
But none of that had anything to do with Li Manni.
She woke up one day to find herself a married woman in the 1990s, with a wealthy Hong Kong tycoon for a husband.
Other people's rebirth: buying houses, opening factories, making movies.
Her rebirth: ten villas, a chain of businesses, and assets worth over a hundred million.
So what was the point of being reborn?
Who would have thought she would be bound to a good-for-nothing System and have to spend money to stay alive?
The good-for-nothing System declared with conviction:
You don't know how to make money, but surely you know how to spend it?
Hong Kong in the 1990s was the best of times, and the best time to spend money.
First way to spend money: buy land and houses.
Li Manni bought houses like vegetables at a market, asking only the price, never whether it was a good deal.
Her circle of girlfriends laughed: "A fool buying a whole basket of rotten apples can't compare to one golden apple."
Who knew that as property prices soared day after day, every "rotten apple" would turn out to be a golden one?
Second way to spend money: make movies and produce records.
Li Manni invested heavily in films for newcomers and had records tailored to them.
People in the industry worried: "Mrs. Wang has a terrible eye for talent. She's just throwing her money away."
Who knew that before long, they would all become kings and queens of the entertainment world, with their schedules booked a year in advance?
Third way to spend money: invest in infrastructure.
Li Manni built bridges and roads, and constructed ports to improve transportation.
Experts were baffled: "Mrs. Wang has too much money. She might as well dump it into Victoria Harbour and reclaim land."
Who knew that, seeking neither fame nor fortune, Li Manni would become an honored guest of the motherland?
