2-4 weeks delay
The Wui Yau Safety Service is very renowned during the mid Qing Dynasty. It earns respects from officials, businessmen and triadds across the country. Although it appears to be a strong company, its business is dying. The new head SHEUNG CHI (MA CHUN WAI, STEVEN), decides to reform it.
CHI is the adopted son of the family. His background and aggressive reform cause disputes at Wui Yau. Eventually, he has to split the family with his brothers SHEUNG CHUNG (LAI YIU CHEUNG WAYNE), SHEUNG HAU (WONG CHI YIN), and his uncle SHEUNG CHING PANG (LAU KONG). Luckily, a female escort, LEI CHEUNG FUNG (YIU, ELAINE), at Wui Yau supports him.
Life is never easy. PANG has become an official after he leaves Wui Yau and he tries at all costs to force Wui Yau to close down. Meanwhile , the Qing government decides to build a railway. Freighters can also been seen everywhere, too. Safely Services have very little room to survive. CHI's younger brother, SHEUNG YEE (LAI LOK YI), comes back from studying abroad. He analyses the situation and suggests CHI shifting the family business from land logistics service to shipping. They work hard hand in hand. Finally, they are granted a shipping patent from the government. Wui Yau's flag, which was once seen everywhere on the road, is now flaunting in the sea.
