He and [[Alastar Mac Caoileann]] briefly met in 1972, during the establishment of the Kowloon Stock Exchange. In early 1975, they met once more, where they discovered that they share a background in finance. By then, both had started trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Alastar met him again in the same year at a formal party, and fobbed an excuse for not being able to attend to the trade by day, and having to work through a proxy that simply executed his orders. Roughly half a year later, intrigued by the strong portfolio built up by Alastar, Sin-feng sought him out to learn from him. | He and [[Alastar Mac Caoileann]] briefly met in 1972, during the establishment of the Kowloon Stock Exchange.

Since then, he has repeatedly proven himself to be a person of bendable morals, especially if there's money to be made. | + | After a lengthy to and fro where both men tried to get an idea of the plans and morality of the other, Alastar agreed to train Sin-Feng, conditional upon two things: he would not discuss what he learned with anyone else, and Sin-Feng had to prove his ruthlessness by arranging for [[Lau Mei-yin|his younger sister]] to give herself to Alastar.

Recently, in 1981, Lau Sin-feng received a call from Alastar that the Irishman was setting up shop for international trading, and that he wanted Sin-feng as his local man.
