THUR OCT 12

10pm Episode 1

In the 1930s, a new

government is formed in

Shanghai, and several

foreign powers carve out

for themselves sovereign

“concessions”. In the French

Concession, the big three

tycoons in Shanghai, Qiao

Aotian, Zhai Jintang and Gong

Xiaoshan, jointly establish

a monopoly, the San Keng

Company. Capitalising on

the opium trade, it gains

dominance over the area.

Junjie, an opium addict, is

caught red-handed stealing

some opium. He sustains

severe injuries when a

bouncer named Scarface

savagely beats him up.

Subsequently, Junjie’s father,

Qihua, is stabbed to death

while trying to save his own

son.

In the wake of these

events, the students who

are protesting against drug

abuse and the opium trade

also join the conflict. They

even set fire to the opium.

Hearing this, Aotian not only

decides not to pursue the

liability for the damage, but

also orders the release of

the student protesters.

Jintang is the first

Chinese Chief Inspector in

the French Concession. He

is so arrogant that he does

not even show respect for

their captain, Fiori.

Jintang takes Scarface,

one of Xiaoshan’s

henchmen, into custody,

which deepens Xiaoshan’s

negative outlook.

Chief Inspectors are

summoned by Wanjun,

who commands them

to implement the drug

prohibition law.

hide the opium stored in his

warehouse.

Jintang invites his

mistress, Zhu Qihong, to

perform songs in Paramount.

Yao Guisheng, is afraid

her business might be

affected negatively, Jintang

emphasises that he is

actually the big boss there.
