Receiving the DAUGHTERS of your handful of Hong Kong’s business elite together for a photo shoot was a thought easier from the conception than in the execution. But after months of e-mails and speak to calls, amid the juggling of job, travel and family commitments, the date found its way to early June at among city’s most chic cafes from the up-and-coming Western district.
Then came the last-minute schedule changes: One rushed from the construction site in China, then dashed off early to offer a speech; another was required to leave in advance of agenda for an urgent meeting; and a third was due during the office by 5 p.m., even though it was Friday. These aren’t ladies of leisure.
But over dessert and later champagne, amid oohs and ahs at jewelry and garments, women swapped stories regarding lives and work, which run from services (Winnie Chiu heads Dorsett Hospitality, a part of father David Chiu’s Asia Consortium International; Stanley ho daughter, daughter of casino magnate Stanley Ho, is involved in the family’s hotel business while holding along the CEO job at Poly Auction Macau) to property (Gigi Chao is vice chairman on the family’s Cheuk Nang Holdings) and from shipping (Sabrina Chao chairs family-owned Wah Kwong Maritime Transport) to tippling (Lili Ma, daughter of Ping An Insurance Chairman and CEO Peter Ma, is director of Mayfair Fine Wines). Yen Kuok, youngest offspring of Malaysian-Chinese tycoon Robert Kuok, has website Guiltless, which sells secondhand luxury goods.
As is also often necessity among Asia’s prominent commercial clans, an online of ties connects the audience: Chiu, 36, and Sabrina Chao, 42, are sisters-in-law; Gigi Chao, 37, and Sabrina Chao are cousins; Sabrina Ho Chiu Yeng, 25, is besties with Chiu’s youngest sister and has known Yen Kuok, 26, since childhood; and Ma, 34, is friends with another of Chiu’s sisters.
