What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe promised you this one: Allan Zeman, the man they call the father of Lan Kwai Fong, is moving into Hong Kong's luxury housing market, and the wallpaper on his office computer is his private estate in Phuket.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe has owned that estate, called Chandara, for more than two decades, and now he wants to bring the same resort-style idea home, to a rural corner of Sai Kung.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe project is called 181 Clearwater, the first local housing development for his Lan Kwai Fong Group, built with Far East Consort, according to the South China Morning Post.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo his desktop background is the product. That's the most honest vision board I've seen.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA man who stares at a villa all day will eventually build one.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMine is a screenshot of a sandwich. Rex, what's on your scoreboard wallpaper?
