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.

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.

Wong is once again confident that Hongkong Land’s investments in mainland China and measures to enhance the appeal of its Hong Kong portfolio amid the current market uncertainty will reap dividends. The company’s earnings and stock performance reflect his optimism. In the first half of 2022, revenue edged up 0.9% from a year earlier to $894 million despite a 69% drop in contracted sales on the mainland to $419 million, and it swung to a net profit of $292 million from a $865 million net loss in the year-ago period, Hongkong Land said in its latest earnings report.

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.
