This episode features Simon Murray, who evolved from French Foreign Legion soldier to Hong Kong business leader, in an unreserved conversation with Steve Vines, Guest Host of Green Bean Media. As Li Ka-shing’s former trusted lieutenant at Hutchison Whampoa, Murray holds nothing back – discussing his tolerant relationship with Li’s sons, Richard and Victor, and offering insights into the family empire. In this lively interview, he also discusses how Chris Patten was badly treated by both Hong Kong’s business elite and Britain’s foreign office. Murray doesn’t mince words about Hong Kong’s current state, laying blame on Carrie Lam’s governance, with Jimmy Lai’s arrest being a warning bell for him. However, when it comes to business, embracing the Greater Bay Area remains the way forward.
