I have heard that there are almost no laws in Hong Kong. Is that true? Is it a free-market?

Hong Kong is a free trading market. What do you mean by "no laws"?

It is free trade market. But what he said there were almost no laws in Hongkong is not the truth. He was totally wrong.

There are enough laws to protect you (property laws, real incorruptible police etc), but there are few enough laws to still let you have fun (very low taxes, minimal corporation laws, and no pub licensing hours). So it's the perfect mix for getting rich and having fun !
