Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

Even Qin Tai himself couldn't help but sigh, "Even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place at the right time. It's true that the times make heroes!"

Some are happy and some are sad.

Just when the entire Hong Kong Island was struggling to survive amidst the enormous changes of the times, the Times Building rose against the tide, becoming the most dazzling beacon in the darkness. Everyone was immersed in joyful surprise, and all investors also reaped their due rewards.

When they received their double return on investment, they were all overjoyed and wept tears of joy.

Amid the torrent of the stock market crash, Hong Kong Island residents who advocated "only stocks, not cash" were not spared. They witnessed firsthand how gold turned into dirt, and the scene was one of widespread devastation.

But it was precisely in this desperate situation of losing everything that Qin Tai brought them a glimmer of hope. All the clients who had previously invested in the Times Building successfully received double the return. Some were overjoyed and grateful to the God of Wealth, some regretted not investing more, and some were so happy that they fainted, all because they became rich overnight.

"Holy crap, you idiot! I've struck it rich! I... I'm a billionaire one day?"

Young Kun screamed with excitement. He finally experienced the ultimate joy of gambling. At his brother's urging, he invested his entire fortune. Fortunately, his brother was as reliable as ever, and he made double the profit, tripling his net worth!

In particular, the benefits he personally reaped from all the Hung Hing properties, secured by the Hung Hing Group's leadership, were all attributed to him, allowing him to truly experience the joy of power.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Tai's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from Thirteen Sister, Han Bin, the Crown Prince, Brother Ji...

Almost all the prominent figures expressed their gratitude with great joy, some with soaring pride, others with tears streaming down their faces. Some even wished they could erect a memorial tablet for him. While exorbitant profits may not be uncommon, such profits during a stock market crash sweeping across Hong Kong are particularly rare. The man who turned the tide had actually won a gamble against the prevailing trend of the times and written his own chapter in history.

Qin Tai's name became famous as a result!

No longer confined to the underworld, but renowned throughout Hong Kong Island!

Half a month later, Jiawen Century's stock finally collapsed completely, and the stock price dropped to such a low that Qin Tai began his happy bottom-fishing journey.

British Century Shipping, originally priced at 12 billion, now sold for a bargain price of 5 million.

Even the Jinshan Building, where Cheng Yiyan made his name and started his business, was easily acquired by Qin Tai for the incredibly low price of 12 billion yuan and became his new office location.

With Hong Kong dollars plummeting by half, the bargain prices for high-quality assets with defaulting debts have been halved again. In effect, Qin Tai bought them all at a quarter of the original price – a steal!

Qin Tai, by acquiring assets at a fraction of the market price, almost instantly replicated Cheng Yiyan's path to wealth, attracting significant attention from Hong Kong media. If Cheng Yiyan was a golden touch, then Qin Tai was the undisputed champion...

Monopoly!

Soon after, another high-profile nickname emerged.

Hong Kong Island's richest man!

"Shocking! The Asian Rich List has been updated, and stock market guru Qin Tai has topped the list with a net worth of nearly 100 billion US dollars!"

"Black Monday stock market crash hit, Jiawen Century collapsed, Hong Kong dollars depreciated exponentially, who will win the Monopoly game crown?"

"A master trader with ten times leverage and hundreds of billions of dollars! The only true god after stock market guru Fang Jinxin!"

"Turning the tide! Times Capital may become Hong Kong's only hope for salvation. Qin, the richest man, has taken over Jiawen Century's subsidiaries, clearing up debts, supporting the stock market, and securing a last glimmer of hope for banks and Hong Kong stock investors!"

"In recognition of Qin's outstanding contributions, the Governor of Hong Kong met with him yesterday and presented him with the Queen's Order of the Bauhinia!"

All the positive news was like a beacon in a desperate situation, illuminating the dark path ahead, and like a shot in the arm. Whether they were beneficiaries who had made huge profits from their investments or Hong Kong citizens who had a chance to survive because of the birth of the new stock god, they were all extremely grateful to Qin Tai.

As the situation continued to escalate, major media outlets in Hong Kong Island rushed to report on it, and Qin Tai became a frequent topic on television. His popularity was no longer limited to being at the top of the "Ten Outstanding Young Persons" list within the police station, but was a genuine number one on the hottest topics list across Hong Kong Island, making him a rising star.

Even Time magazine featured him on its cover.

Knife Tai, the Hundred-Man Slayer?

Sorry, those are all things of the past!

Richest man, tycoon, cash king, stock market guru – these are the new titles that Qin Tai now commands worldwide!

The previous stock market guru, Fang Jinxin, only had the skills of a trader who profited from the early days of the Hong Kong stock market. The total assets he controlled were far less than a fraction of Qin Tai's. Moreover, he became a god in adversity, and he was not even qualified to carry Qin Tai's shoes!

"From a scandalous gangster with women on his left and right, he suddenly became the richest man in Hong Kong?"

TV reporter Le Huizhen stared blankly at the overwhelming reports about Qin Tai, feeling that everything was so unreal. She had actually witnessed the birth of a top tycoon.

"They used to look down on us, but now we can't even reach them!"

The most shocking thing was Mr. Tong's hair turning white overnight. If he couldn't easily offend a major client worth five billion US dollars before, then Qin Tai, as the richest man, is now someone he can't even reach.

At this moment, he was filled with remorse.

He had no right to call himself a member of a prestigious family. His arrogance had completely blinded him. This was a top-tier eligible bachelor! So many people would beg and plead to give their daughters to him; the line would stretch all the way to the Eiffel Tower!

Even if the Crystal Palace were to expand tenfold, with the richest man as his son-in-law, he would still have to praise the kidneys as being truly excellent!

With the energy crisis and stock market crash looming, Hong Kong's economy is on the verge of collapse. As a leading conglomerate, the Tong Group has long been on its last legs under this shock. Tong Bank is at the forefront of the frenzied bank run and has long been listed for closure, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

We have now reached a critical moment of life and death!

The reason he stubbornly continued to stay at the Times Building to block Qin Tai was that he wanted to beg the other party to reinvest so that his family group could have a chance to revive.

These past few days he's been so worried he can't sleep at night, his hair has already turned gray, and he seems to age ten years every night.

However, the Tong Group is not the only company or organization desperately seeking a lifeline from the richest man. In the reception room, there are former billionaires, former bank heirs, casino tycoons who spend lavishly, and even former guests of the Queen and Governor of Hong Kong.

In comparison, the Tong Group seems like a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor accompanied the clatter of footsteps.

Serena's arrival caused all the waiting chairmen and bosses to pounce on her like sharks smelling blood, eagerly asking, "Mr. Qin, do you have time? Can you see me? I'm selling my businesses at rock-bottom prices!" "Please, Mr. Qin, see me! Our bank is about to collapse!" "A century-old enterprise, preferential treatment for real shares!"
