On some level, the entire Ting family is unethical and ruthless, and they are opposed by the Fongs, led by Fong Chun-sun (played by Damian Lau), a premiere stockbroker attempting to rid the stock market of corruption.
The Ting family became rich through speculation during the Black Monday stock market crisis in 1987 and also became involved with laundering money for drug lords. Ting Hai (played by Adam Cheng) is a man who made his fortune through the catering and entertainment industries at first, then stock and property speculation. The story spans three decades from the 1970s to the 1990s in both Hong Kong and Taiwan, and addresses various social and financial phenomena of the times, with themes ranging from triad violence to corruption within the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Greed of Man stars an award-winning cast that includes veteran actors Adam Cheng Siu-chow and Damian Lau Chung-yan, as well as the award-winning Sean Lau Ching-wan.

This series was popular enough to immediately be followed by two sequels, Police Cadet ‘85 and Police Cadet ‘88, showing the cadets’ eventual progression in the police ranks, both also starring Tony Leung. As Cheung progresses in his career, he begins to neglect his girlfriend Tse Wing-chi (played by Maggie Cheung), who begins to find comfort in his former cadet schoolmate. There, he meets four friends, who go through their training, struggles, conflicts, and intrigues together. Tony Leung plays the character of Cheung Wai-kit, a high-school graduate who joins the Police Cadet Academy, which is based on the real-life Royal Hong Kong Police Cadet School. The fantastic Tony Leung Chiu-wai and beautiful Maggie Cheung eventually went on to have award-winning careers, and Carina Lau and Sean Lau are both huge stars in their own right. Looking back, this was definitely a nostalgic series with an all-star cast.
