  • Prospects Not So Bright for Hong Kong Jewelry Mogul's Successors
    BUSINESS Prospects not so bright for Hong Kong jewelry mogul's successors JENNIFER LO, Nikkei staff writer October 16, 2016 07:00 JST HONG KONG -- When the powerful and wealthy flocked to the Hong Kong Funeral Home on Oct. 12 and 13 to pay respect to Cheng Yu-tung, who had died aged 91, they were marking the loss of the first of a generation of rags-to-riches businessmen whose acumen and diplomatic savviness is almost unrivalled by their successors. As the founder of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, the world's largest jeweler by market capitalization with the exception of Tiffany & Co., Cheng earned a reputation for tact in forging ties with heavyweights in Hong Kong and beyond. His investment in a diamond business backed by Wen Jiabao's wife brought him close to the family of the former Chinese premier, the New York Times reported. Cheng's funeral was a rare gathering of the business elite and Hong Kong dignitaries. His poker partner, billionaire Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development, and Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings, were among the pallbearers. The funeral hall, decorated with white orchids, was filled with bouquets from mourners such as Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the standing committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, and Pony Ma Huateng, founder and chairman of Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings. Cheng Yu-tong's funeral was a rare gathering of Hong Kong dignitaries. Tycoons Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings and Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development carried the coffin, along with Leung Chun-ying and Tung Chee-hwa, the territory's current and former heads of government.
