Wong—who joined the company

          Wong—who joined the company in 1985 after graduating from Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a surveyor and rose through the ranks to become the CEO six years ago—has earned a reputation for seizing opportunities and staying the course amid a crisis. At the turn of the millennium, between the Asian financial crisis and the 2003 SARS outbreak, he started rebuilding from scratch Hongkong Land’s residential property business, which it had divested in the 1980s.

His first project, a redevelopment of an aging Hong Kong apartment complex called Lai Sing Court, had a bumpy start. After Wong spent more than two-and-a-half years persuading at least 90% of homeowners to agree to a collective sale and overcame objections from authorities to relax its height restriction, SARS crashed Hong Kong’s property market. Charles Ng, one of Lai Sing Court’s homeowners, recalls Wong still honored his commitments—even though he could have tried to renegotiate—and pressed ahead with the redevelopment despite an economic slump at the time making the project uneconomical. Hongkong Land eventually earned a profit of about $300 million from the complex, which was renamed Serenade.

Online head shops are great for people who don’t want to deal with the hassle of navigating a physical shop. In most states, you can also order marijuana online without a medical card. Even if you live in a state where you have to get a medical card to buy marijuana legally, you may still be able to order it online if the online shop is in a state where it’s legal to ship to anyone.

Underlying profit, its measure of income from ongoing businesses, rose 8% to $425 million, but the company expects it to drop “significantly” for the full year following pandemic-related construction delays. The developer’s stock has risen around 15% in the past 12 months as of Aug. 25, compared with declines of roughly 26% and 30% in rivals Henderson Land and New World Development, respectively, and an over 21% drop in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.
