Li Ka-shing says greenies affect revenue for everybody

[DocMartin]

From today’s South China Morning Post – the “Mr Li” being Li Ka-shing, who’s more a God of Concrete:

Quote:

In a press conference to announce his conglomerate’s mid-term results, Mr Li was asked whether his companies would reduce investments in property development because of increasing pressure brought by environmentalists.

“It affects the [government] revenue, which is everybody’s revenue in Hong Kong,” Mr Li said. “This will affect revenue in the Treasury and the people of Hong Kong. We will wait for history to judge.”
…

Mr Li’s son, Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, said the conservationists had “found the wrong targets”. He urged them to lobby the government instead of protesting against developers.

Hmm…
Li K-s has proven fantastic at accumulating wealth, and pouring concrete. Too bad he perhaps doesn’t figure that having a comfortable, healthy city is important too.

I always listen closely to Li Ka Shing.
He is a constant point of reference that the beliefs I have are the right ones.
But he does make for annoying listening.
I have never held the opinion he has on any subject, ever.

Quite proud that my last post avoided territory that would involve lawyers or 10 paces at dawn. I find the man quite distasteful.
