Extended data:

Hong Kong's commercial map is undergoing a series of changes, which are not only driven by the endogenous demand of Hong Kong's economy, but also driven by changes within the four richest families in Hong Kong.

According to public information, the four richest families in Hong Kong started with real estate, and their control wealth exceeded HK$ 65,438 +0.5 trillion. The four richest families include Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng, Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong. With Li Ka-shing officially handing over the family assets to his eldest son, Li Zeju, and the huge business empire of the four rich families officially entering the "rich second generation" period, the commercial map of Hong Kong, especially the real estate map, may undergo subtle changes.
