At the beginning, Li Ka-shing's family conditions were not good. 14 years old, forced to drop out of school to make a living in society. At first, he went to my uncle's watch company as a young apprentice to serve tea and sweep the floor, but he learned to read and act according to circumstances. Later, because Li Ka-shing didn't want to rely on others for a long time, he worked as a salesman in a hardware factory and started a sales career called "street boy" by Hong Kong people. From 65438 to 0948, when Li Ka-shing was 20 years old, he was promoted to general manager of plastic flower factory because of his outstanding sales performance. 1950, Li Ka-shing, who was only 22 years old, used the $7,000 he usually saved to set up the Changjiang Plastic Factory in Shau Kei Wan. At the end of 1957, Changjiang Plastic Factory was renamed Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd., which brought tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits to Li Ka-shing and made Changjiang Plastic Factory the largest manufacturer of plastic flowers in the world. Soon, he actively explored the world market and became the "king of plastic flowers".

Later, he continued to acquire a 22.4% stake in Hutchison Whampoa, an established Hong Kong-owned firm, from HSBC Group, and Li Ka-shing became the first China person to acquire a Hong Kong-owned firm. 1984, "Changjiang Industry" purchased the controlling stake of "Hongkong Electric Company".
