just out from send tray, my notes from lunch yesterday, re freedom-seeking refugees from all around london and new york converging on hong kong, and i quote self

btw, man specializing in helping law and fund outfits to establish in asia / hong kong says:
- 70% of outfits choosing hk over singapore
- tend to head for high-end office buildings and residences

- when he tells head office that more reasonable office options can be on kowloon side at materially less cost, and that perfectly good homes can be rented for hkd 150,000/mth and less, the head offices response, "yes, but we want the wow factor"

- feels that given law offices are being opened in hk by american and european law firms must be because their clients are also heading this way

second man specializing in workouts and disasters as well as due diligence reports
- another trend, the deal teams, relatively young, are cutting corners and low budgeting due diligence efforts
- issues should surface in deals w/i 18 months as opposed to the usual 36 months

and so the pipe line is being filled and the hopper is full
