Hong Kong nightlife isn't what it used to be, with fewer revelers spending less than in the pre-pandemic boom – indicative, perhaps, of wider political and demographic changes taking place in the city. Yet entertainment and property mogul Allan Zeman – known as the “father of Lan Kwai Fong” after the bar area he established in the 1980s – remains upbeat and optimistic. Despite business being slower and rents lower, he welcomes the influx of mainland visitors as new tenants adapt to the changes. For Zeman, Hong Kong is far from over. He joins hosts John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva on the Asia Centric podcast to discuss Hong Kong's changing landscape. Patrick Wong, senior property analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, also outlines the challenges facing office landlords and luxury retailers – and reveals who stands to gain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lan Kwai Fong is Hong Kong's most famous street and the city's main party hub. It's ever-changing, yet always the same. We chat about the iconic street, its snacks, its famous 7-11s, and, most importantly, its crowds. Have the international school kids taken over? Are we too old and jaded? We walked through "Lan Kwai" the other night, and we have thoughts!   Get tickets for Backstage Comedy shows: https://linktr.ee/backstagecomedy Get tickets for the Cantonese Laugh Festival Gala: https://gala.laughfestival.hk Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hohopod Leave us a review: (please!) https://www.ratethispodcast.com/hohohkpod Follow Mohammed on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theothermohammed/ Follow Vivek on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/funnyvivek/

This episode was originally released May 17, 2021 This week we discuss the Wong Kar-Wai classic Chungking Express, the changing face of Hong Kong, stillness and transience, quirkiness and metaphor, and what a romantic comedy should be.   Chungking Express is a 1994 Hong Kong romantic crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Wong Kar-wai. The film consists of two stories told in sequence, each about a lovesick Hong Kong policeman mulling over his relationship with a woman. The first story stars Takeshi Kaneshiro as a cop obsessed with his breakup with a woman named May, and his encounter with a mysterious drug smuggler (Brigitte Lin). The second stars Tony Leung as a police officer roused from his gloom over the loss of his flight attendant girlfriend (Valerie Chow) by the attentions of a quirky snack bar worker (Faye Wong). "Chungking" in the title refers to Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, where Wong grew up in the 1960s. "Express" refers to the food stand Midnight Express, located in Lan Kwai Fong, an area in Central, Hong Kong.   I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa

Allan Zeman is a tough interview. That is not only because the chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group has been interviewed so many times that it's tough to find a new angle, but also because he's an expert in circling a question back to promote his business. As you listen to Zeman talk and see how his mind works, you understand how this man turned three short Chinese words into a formidable brand. If you are familiar with the father of Lan Kwai Fong, you know the self-made business tycoon has been a China bull forever. He is planning to open ten or even twenty (depending on which interview you read) Lan Kwai Fong centers in China over the next decade. That's a risky bet, considering the slowing Chinese economy and a decline of high-end spending. But Zeman believes his projects will be unique enough to stand out and attract consumers, even as most malls in China are likely to suffer in the coming years. We will wait to see how well Zeman's ambitious plans in China turn out. But I would advise on taking his success as a fact, because like he says, "I have always been a winner."

Does this concern you? A: Those cities have been going against the grain of the other (smaller) cities in China. But as we have seen in Hong Kong, New York, London, if prices get too high, eventually there must be a correction. Beijing is looking at instituting some measures to slow down the rise, which I think will happen. Beijing understands that if prices get too far out of whack, they have to do something to look after everyone. Q: Do you see a price correction this year? A: Within a year, I would predict there could be (a correction), but it won't be a dramatic correction. Perhaps a correction of around 5%. Long term, (housing prices in) first tier cities will continue to be strong. To me, I look at (owning a property in those cities) as putting money into the bank. You don't have to worry for the long term. Q: For smaller cities in China, the so-called second and third or fourth tier cities, how bad is the oversupply problem? My own brother and sister live in a third tier city in China, and each of them own three to four apartments. It can't be sustainable? A: The oversupply problem is very serious. But this is not limited to real estate. There is oversupply in probably every commodity, as the previous administration kept people working to support employment. It will take a number of years for oversupply to work its way down. We were just visiting our Wuxi project, meeting with the Party Secretary there, who told us the area we are focusing on has seen housing prices escalating lately. So, certain areas will manage to attract people as urbanization in China continues. Also, Beijing has implemented policies to slow down the construction of new property projects. Q: For places that can't attract people, a famous Chinese real estate tycoon Ren Zhiqiang has suggested that they should be demolished? A: No, that's not the answer. Potentially, the government can buy some of the property to lease out as low-cost housing, or the government can buy it as long-term investments and slowly sell them off. The Chinese government still have a lot of reserves and resources to manage the problem. Q: Now let's move onto commercial property. I read when you first saw the design of the LKF Haikou project, you didn't really like it and made some changes. What did you change? A: We had our in-house architecture team work with the project to improve on many things. You must think from the customer's perspective: How do you get them to the second floor,

The 'father of Lan Kwai Fong', celebrated entrepreneur and luxury property developer, Zeman is rarely short of appellations. We recently caught up with him to discuss the state of Hong Kong's market a year on from the Occupy movement, why Thailand remains one of the region's most desirable destinations and what he would've done differently if he were to get another shot at developing Lan Kwai Fong.

We meet the teary-eyed couple over drinks Lan Kwai Fong. Their story is pretty typical for Hong Kong and goes something like this: girl meets boy, they fall in love and maybe even move in together. He gets a raise and she gets a promotion and life is going well... right up until the family finds out. And then within days family relations hit a crisis point and rumours surface that a distant uncle has asked the Triads to get involved....Learning Cantonese?
