Born in Hong Kong late 60's, Pong returns to Hong Kong in early 90's after graduating from university. At first he doesn't want to work, but instead enjoys himself for a period of time, thus father and son was repeatedly at clash. Actually, Pong's philosophy in life is to enjoy life; therefore he never has the intention of building a career, but instead filled his thoughts with endless dreams. To him; working and doing business is only to earn money, and the money will eventually use to satisfy needs and enjoyment in life.
Pong traveled all around and suddenly has an idea to build a hot spring hotel in a suburb area in Mainland China. Man Hang thought Pong was lackadaisical, and finally could not stand it anymore. He agrees to invest in Pong's project with the condition that Pong works in the steel processing plant. Pong prefers leisure over work, so he chose the least looked upon department. Due to his brief moment of interest, he manages to make an investment profit using his accurate insight.
Approaching 1994, Man Hang launched a battle with another huge shareholder over the management rights of the steel factory. In the end, Man Hang won by manipulating his younger brother Man Shek, kicking Wong family out. However, the development of the steel factory is restricted and often faced financial crisis. On the other hand, Pong's real estate career was going well. It was peaking and the profit is even a few times higher than the steel factory. In the end, the entire shareholder decided to support Pong and persuade Man Hang to invest a large amount of money into real estate. Man Hang, whom originally placed importance in steel industry, was forced to follow everyone's wish. He reduced the investment for steel processing industry and changes the company's focus to real estate.
1997, Pong has helped the company to gain properties worth HKD10 billion, therefore Pong was corrupted by victory. The company over expanded, making it defenseless to the Asian Economic Crisis. In a short while, the company suffered a devastating defeat and affected the steel factory as well. The company finally bankrupts and Man Hang years of painstakingly built career vanishes into thin air. Pong becomes the black sheep in his family.
Because of heavily in debt, also because not willing to be looked down by Man Hang, Pong decided to return to Mainland to manage a small truck manufacturing factory, hoping to take this advantage for a comeback. The only person who supports him is his secretary Fong Bing Yee. Actually, the factory is experiencing loss since it's opening, and the management is messed up. Pong, who always thought highly of himself, determined to revive the factory. However, he has to face not only the intense competition of the market, but also many kind of management problem in the factory. In addition, the person who goes against him the most is his second uncle Man Hung's son, Wah Zhen Man, whom he never saw before. Due to the cultural clash between Hong Kong and Mainland culture, their management philosophy is different, plus their personality is poles apart like east and west, using different approach in handling either people or matter. After Pong joined the factory, he found it hard to make his steps.
Pong and Man's disagreement caused many upheavals in the factory. Pong's second uncle Man Hung feels that though their goal is consistent, their viewpoint have great differences and this has caused a lot of internal tumult. He tricked them into working together, both heart and soul. Using Pong and Man's teamwork, the factory manages to balance its income within the short period of a year. Man Hung, Man and other people started to look at Pong at a new perspective. At the time the factory finally united as one, the shareholder suddenly allowed foreign investment into the factory. Seeing Man Hung's many years of effort to build Mainland's own automobile factory was ruined, Pong feel hurtful and suddenly have the idea to build Wah family's own automobile plant! Under Man Hang and Man Hung's support, Pong finally establish his own automobile factory, marking the new step of Wah ancestor's automobile dream.
Love wise, due to business, Pong met real estate agent Wing Sau Fung. Pong has always been vain; he never gives a glance to the generally attractive woman out there. However, Fung is different: Fung is not only beautiful, but also intelligent and quick-witted, ruthless and good at scheming. Pong highly admires Fung and thought that only this kind of woman can match him. To two of them started a romance based on battle of wits.
In their contest of wits, Pong repeatedly displays his intelligence. He finally succeeds to capture Fung's heart and they even planned to get married. Unexpectedly, Fung suddenly left on their wedding day. It turns out that Fung is actually seeking revenge for her mother Wai Cheung Ping, using her pregnancy to extort Man Hang for a large amount of money as condition of exchange. Fung accidentally miscarries, and Pong thought that Fung intentionally abort the baby. Pong was truly hurt and hated Fung deeply.
At the same time, Pong's secretary Fong Bing Yee actually was secretly in love with Pong all along. For many years, Yee always stood by Pong's side. When Pong faced financial difficulties, even going bankrupt, Yee have always followed Pong faithfully. Yee finally moved Pong, and when they planned to get married, Fung reappears with the intention of reconciling with Pong. Pong cannot fight his feelings for Fung, in addition he found out that Fung's miscarriage was an accident. Under Yee's blessings, Pong decided to renew his relationship with Fung.
However, Fung's grudge with Wah family is too deep; in addition with the court battle over Ngai Tin Hang's inheritance, Fung cannot be accepted into Wah family. Pong and Fung have went through a lot of obstacles, therefore Pong was determined to let Fung hurt again. He continuously supports Fung, and in the end Fung become a part of Wah family.
This moment, Pong is not longer the arrogant rich heir, but gradually grew into a mature person with leadership qualities. When Man Hang was paralyzed, Pong bears the responsibility to support the automobile factory. Unexpectedly, Pong found out that Fung was the prime culprit of Man Hang's injuries. Heartbroken, Pong left Fung. After being advised by Man Hang, he finally forgives Fung.

Fung's Label, Raymond's previous official website and its
webmistress, Sasa, for providing so much of Raymond's news and

Vickie. She's my beautiful Net friend with a strong command of the
Chinese language and very frequently she helps me with
translations. She's also excellent when it comes to graphics
and even though I haven't actually used any of her graphics in
The Beehive, I still thought that it was worth mentioning.
