Walking the Tycoon's Rope: How Ambition Drove a Poor Boy from Ningbo to Compete with the Richest Men of Hong Kong and Singapore

By Robert Wang

Book Overview

Robert Wang fled the Chinese civil war as a child and came to Hong Kong with nothing. It was a harsh place in the 1950s but he was determined to rise to the top. With the 1997 handover to China approaching, and no one knowing what the end of British rule would bring, Robert hatched an audacious scheme to safeguard the fortunes of Hong Kong's richest tycoons -- but swimming with sharks has its dangers.
