Dear Fellow Shareholders,
As esteemed members of Hong Kong’s business community, you will no doubt be aware of the importance of Feng Shui. This custom becomes increasingly important as we approach the Year of the Ox.
Perhaps the most the endearing feature of Feng Shui is that it touches all Hong Kong-based firms. Its influence extends from global powerhouses and industry leaders, such as Rothwell-Gornt, all the way down to insignificant family-run dai pai dongs.
A good Feng Shui advisor is rather hard to find: In past years, no small number of consultants have warned me of “challenging periods” or “rocky patches”, only for their predictions to be incorrect. Ironically, in certain cases their prophecies became self-fulfilling, with consultants disappearing under somewhat mysterious circumstances.
But not all consultants are merely full of “hot feng”, and my current advisor speaks Great Truths. In the Year of the Ox, for example, he has forecast that the Taipan of the Noble House will suffer from a waning of the Jade Stem. It is a serious condition that can only be rectified through regular practice of the Eight Jade Dragon exercises.
Happy New Year Taipan! And to my fellow shareholders - Best of joss in the Year of the Ox,
Quillan Gornt
CEO and Taipan
Rothwell-Gornt Holdings

A glowing review from Sham Shui Po Boy presages turbulent times ahead, methinks.
Sir,
I took the measure of slipping the fellow a rather fat Lai See packet ahead of the review.
As you know, this is fully in accordance with "Hong Kong rules".
Best of joss,
Sir,
The Noble House will not deign to answer this gutter slander.
However, on the matter of the 'Sham Shooee Po Boy' I will state that we do not stoop to bribes, and have delivered no lai-see. Any review he gives will be purely based on merit rather than cash. Unlike your good self and the review that someone etched into the men's toilets at Legco. I was frankly impressed by some of the feats described, and thought you could not possibly be so flexible, and thus concluded that cash had changed hands for this high placed piece of propaganda. I wonder if 'Don' is even real?
May your year of the Ox bring you the stability and financial security you need.
The Tai-Pan
Sir,
Unlike Struan's, Rothwell-Gornt (and it's esteemed weblog) is part of the very fabric that makes Hong Kong.
It is merely a natural progression that it has become absorbed into Hong Kong's common culture, popping up in all sorts of unusual places.
Apparently there is even a book (or two) written about it! Possibly even a TV mini-series...
Best of joss,
Gornt,
Good heavens? A 'Mini Series'? What the devil is one of those? I am sure that it is truly representative and a just reflection of our situations.
The Tai-Pan of the Noble House
Sir,
It's an outrage! Only a mini-series? I would have thought we deserved a feature length film!
Best of joss,
