Hong Kong's Chip Boom Drives Market Growth.

It was like stepping into a time machine, folks, when I walked into the former trading hall in Exchange Square on Thursday. I'm not talking about any ordinary time machine, but one that transported me to the most epic era of the 1980s. Brokers in their iconic red jackets stood side by side with Cathay Pacific Airways flight attendants rocking retro uniforms, making it hard to distinguish between a bygone era and a scene from a time-travel movie. I'm still trying to process what I saw, but I'll get to that later.
