The story
It was established in 1939 in Hong Kong as Hsin Chong & Company by Godfrey Yeh Kan-Nee and Chien Chu-Keng.
Yeh was a well-established builder in Shanghai before moving to Hong Kong in 1937. His son Geoffrey Yeh Meou-Tsen worked with him from 1955.
Chu-Keng's son Philip worked briefly at Hsin Chong before starting his own firm.
The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1991.
In the late 1990s, Hsin Chong was involved in a scandal over short-piling. As a result, the company was banned from bidding for government contracts between 1999 and 2002.
