HSBC’s Headquarters: Staying in UK or Coming to Hong Kong?

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]

This week, HSBC HQ, UK or HK? Apple China here, Startups for HK’s future, and more!

Typing this up looking out into Nathan Road, love the hustle and bustle. It is motivating me to get off my butt and finish this week’s newsletter. So thanks for being here and reading 🙂

Where is HSBC’s headquarters going? I mentioned in a newsletter a while back that they were considering Hong Kong, but seems they are staying put in the UK. boo!

Apple Pay came out today in Mainland China. Going head to head with the big guys..wonder if they will keep up in the fierce battle between Tencent’s Wechat and Alibaba’s Alipay. Many don’t think so.

Can Hong Kong start-ups change the city’s fortunes?

We have Hong Kong in love with LED! On Valentines, they had a great white rose LED lighting display – this post has some nice photos!
