Greetings and Salutation from Hong Kong

 

 

> Dear Friends,

>

> It has been a while since we wrote to you last, we hope everything are

> well at your end.

>

> We would like to draw your attention to the following article which was

> featured in South China Morning Post (The leading english newspaper

> in Hong Kong).

>

> Afterward, you may consider to visit our newly renovated Web Site at the

>

> following address.

>

> East treats West

>

> Traditional Chinese medicine is branching out big-time: from strongholds

>

> like Western in Hong Kong to Western countries especially the United

> States.

> At least it will, if the current generation of young businessmen

> realizes it ambitions.....

>

> There is little about the seventh-floor conference room of the Lei Yun

> Shang Chinese Medical (HK) Company headquarter in Tsim Sha Tsui East to

> evoke the cacophonous stalls of Ko Shing Street. Quiet as a chapel,

> there is no shouting, no jostling; there are no old women hawking dried

> frogs. The walls are tastefully panelled in light brown, the dark wood

> of the long table gleams under glass, the air is thick with the pleasant

>

> expectation of continued success. The company, like Tse, is an

> energetic and aggressive competitor in the TCM market with an eye on the

>

> global scene. This is a very hot industry, " says C. W. Kwok,

> vice-president of Lei Yun Shang. We have been approached by many

> companies from overseas who are interested in forming a joint venture, "

> The company markets two export products : a pumpkin extract which helps

> control blood-sugar levels and is especially useful in the treatment of

> diabetes; and a ginkgo biloba extract capsule that improves circulation.

>

> Lei Yun Shang is a large company, with nine outlets in Shanghai and an

> annual total income of US$50 million (HK$388.50 million). It is a

> company steeped in tradition, having been founded in 1662. Today,

> expansion is its goal. Even

> within China, the market is growing, " says Mr. Kwok. It helps that

> Beijing has designated TCM a key growth industry, especially in the

> Shanghai region. Last year the city levered that support into

> construction of what Kwok calls Medical City, a 5,000-square-metre,

> four-storey health complex that includes a hospital, dispensaries and

> outpatients' clinics...
