Wow that was quick! 😂 if only I timed the compilation of this… not sure I knew what I was undertaking when I started it… but thanks for taking the time. 👊
None so far, just know that Hong Kong Land agrees to clear away existing tenants when the current lease expires. Rumour has it it will be known in 2026.
Very well written and fascinating! This article underlines so much of what you have already written about brand value, status and social structure throughout the SDC saga 😑……..(and yes, there again is that inscrutable emoji in yet another interpretation 🧐) …..go figure

Astonishing accomplishments, for sure. Cheers!

Incredible story, incredible summary.
You finally got to it 😄 cheers T!
Was there nothing about the Hermes stake building in the podcast?
That’s coming in the next episode! 😁(meaning they did the episode, and I’m doing another one of these to cover it)
Looking forward to it
Great great article!!
Appreciated bro!
One more thing, he’s emptying out the whole Land Mark mall in hk and remodelling it into something else.
Any idea what it might be?

Waiting to see what’s next for LVMH to pick up!! Great job on this one, I was mindblown by a few random factoids within this article….!

And here we are in 2024. What a story. He also believes in the power of family. They learn, they evolve and now it’s not just Bernard anymore.
Not the same spirit though... Bernard is a serious visionary.
Maybe I'm a business nerd 🤓 but this was a highly enjoyable read!
Also, I don't have the patience or time for podcasts, let alone 4hs ones, so thanks for the transcript!
