"What's so great about Hong Kong?"
The day before yesterday, I was walking through Central with a friend. He looked at the endless stream of "suit-clad characters" on Queen's Road Central and asked this question.
I didn't give a direct answer, but my mind drifted to the differences in perception I've witnessed over the years while "folding Hong Kong":
Regarding time span: While we're still anxious about current KPIs, those young people in their early 20s at the Central family office are already discussing how to make wealth pass through cycles and be handed down to future generations. They are planning not for next year, but for a world thirty years from now.
Regarding perspective: Don't underestimate taxi drivers or tea restaurant aunties on the street. What often jumps on their phones isn't short videos, but Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. Here, everyone is a miniature global asset allocation platform.
Regarding cost: It’s brutal. The HKD 80,000 per square foot property prices and the fast-paced lifestyle are truly astonishing. But here, you are the quality of life itself, exchanging for unlimited possibilities.
Passing by Victoria Harbour and looking at the two dazzling lights, I remembered an old Hong Kong saying: "The most valuable thing here isn't the skyscrapers, but the opportunities that allow you to redefine your life."
