Living and growing up in Hong Kong, it is not difficult to notice that Sassoon and the Kadoorie family seem to be connected to the destiny of this financial city for many years.

The capital provided by Arthur Sassoon was established in 1865 and developed into one of the most influential multinational banks in the world today; the Peninsula Hotel, standing on Salisbury Road in the Kowloon Peninsula, enjoys this still The harbour scenery full of colonial heritage has even been described by critics as "the best hotel east of Suez". It was originally established by the Kadoorie family and has been held today.

In the late Qing Dynasty, their core business revolved around China, especially the forbidden opium trade.
The success of these two aristocratic families especially lies in their lack of political beliefs. As long as they are able to make money, they are willing to contact and try.
Therefore, they actively entered the British upper-class parties and laughed at the discrimination against their Jews by the British royal family and aristocracy.
They are even willing to shuttle around politicians in modern China, whether it is Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping or Xi Jinping. As long as they continue to have the opportunity to make money, they will ignore whether it is the Three People's Principles or Communism, and they are not afraid to be described as "greedy." The capitalists" may have their real estate confiscated.
In the face of the imperial Japanese army's escalation and various abuses, they still have a way to maintain communication...
The qualities they possess are also the way to success in Hong Kong...
