Mr. William Yeung, CEO, said, "Beyond the HK$36,000/month starting pay, which is competitive with graduate offers from the elite Government administrative officer (AO) track, global investment banks and leading management consulting firms, over the next decade, we will invest a huge amount of current generation CXOs management capital to nurture these two candidates into our future CXOs. This is why we put so much time, effort and resources into the selection process."
