Having the DAUGHTERS of a number of Hong Kong’s business elite together to get a photo shoot was a perception easier from the conception compared to the execution. But after months of e-mails and speak to calls, amid the juggling of job, travel and family commitments, the date arrived in early June at one of city’s most chic cafes from the up-and-coming Western district.
Then came the last-minute schedule changes: One rushed coming from a construction site in China, then dashed off early to provide a speech; another was required to leave ahead of schedule for an urgent meeting; along with a third was due back in the office by 5 p.m., though it was Friday. These bankruptcies are not ladies of leisure.
But over dessert and later on champagne, amid oohs and ahs at jewelry and clothes, the women swapped stories with regards to their lives and work, which run from services (Winnie Chiu heads Dorsett Hospitality, part of father David Chiu’s Distance Consortium International; Sabrina ho chiu yeng, daughter of casino magnate Stanley Ho, is involved in the family’s hotel business while holding down 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 online site Guiltless, which sells secondhand luxury goods.
As is also often necessity among Asia’s prominent commercial clans, a web site of ties connects the gang: 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 possesses known Yen Kuok, 26, since childhood; and Ma, 34, is friends with another of Chiu’s sisters.
