To the world, Hong Kong is a dazzling pearl of the international financial center, but few know that beneath the neon lights of this sleepless city lies an underground kingdom far larger than Shenzhen. From the smuggling giant ships of the Teochew clan to the black bookmakers of Temple Street, from the dark web servers of Sham Shui Po to the virtual currency money laundering pools in Central, Hong Kong's gray industries have long infiltrated the capillaries of the global economy.
Golden Waterway and Black Gold Empire
In the 1970s, when the mainland was still under a planned economy, Hong Kong's Teochew business clan had already taken control of Victoria Harbour's 'Golden Waterway'. Fishing boats in Causeway Bay's typhoon shelter unload Thai tin and Indonesian rubber late at night, before being labeled 'Made in Japan' at dawn; Sony VCRs wrapped in waterproof cloth are sunk to the bottom of the Yau Ma Tei warehouse, only to reappear at Shekou port in Shenzhen with the ebb and flow of tides. At its peak, 80% of the world's smuggled Rolex watches passed through Hong Kong to the Middle East, with even the Swiss headquarters tacitly allowing the existence of the 'Hong Kong version Submariner'—after all, each watch's hidden location tracking chip was originally a customs clearance password specially made for them.
