Ho Fook

Ho Fook, younger brother of Sir Robert Hotung, also graduated from Government Central School. Ho Fook's excellent command of English secured him comprador positions in E. D. Sassoon Sons & Co and Jardine, Matheson & Co, and he was later appointed as a Legislative Councillor. Sir Hotung and Ho Fook's journey to wealth through commerce and trading stands testament to the rise of Chinese businessmen in the late 19th century.
