Mr. Yeung Chap Man Group Chairman Profile - Young entrepreneurial persistence and hard work without regrets
In a corner of the southeast coast of Fujian, stands a thousand-year-old town “Fo-Tan”. Here from the beautiful ancient mountains and rivers with outstanding people. However, it was a barren land in the 1950s, Mr. Yeung was born in “Shicheng Village” in 1950. When he was a child, the conditions at home were not plentiful, but he was studious, overcame difficulties, worked tirelessly to seek experience, and equipped himself with knowledge. In 1967 , he graduated from Xiamen Huaqiao Middle School. A year later, as a "Educated Youth", he was ordered to do hard labour in rural areas and join the team “Taiba Commune” in Shanghang County. At the time of his prosperity, he went through the times in the homeland of western Fujian. Hardship is a precious asset in life. His diligence, frugality, simplicity and honesty laid a solid foundation for his career. Being able to accurately grasp the market positioning and adjust the business strategy in a timely manner is one of the important factors for being an invincible businessman in the competitive market, and Mr. Yeung has done this element perfectly. During 1989 , as more and more foreign real estate construction trends entered the market in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's local real estate industry was unable to compete with it. At this time, he felt that a new opportunity was coming, revealing him to see that the real estate industry inheriting the local culture had great market and development potential. Therefore, he was far-sighted and decisively invested heavily in the real estate business and began to venture into new fields for the second time.
