Credit: Virgile Simon Bertrand for Forbes GETTING THE DAUGHTERSof a handful of Hong Kong's business elite together for a photo shoot was an idea easier in the conception than in the execution. But after months of e-mails and phone calls, amid the juggling of job, travel and family commitments, the date arrived in early June at one of city's most chic cafes in the up-and- comingWestern district.

Then came the last-minute schedule changes: One rushed from a construction site in China, then dashed off early to deliver a speech; another had to leave ahead of schedule for an urgent meeting; and a third was due back in the office by5p.m., even though it was Friday. These are not ladies of leisure.

But over dessert and later champagne, amid oohs and ahs at jewelry and clothes, the women swapped stories about their lives and work, which run from services (Winnie Chiu heads Dorsett Hospitality, part of father David Chiu's Far East ConsortiumInternational;Sabrina ho chiu yeng, daughter of casino magnate Stanley Ho, is involved in the family's hotel business while also holdingdown the CEOjob at Poly Auction Macau) to property (Gigi Chao is vice chairman at the family's

Cheuk Nang Holdings) and from shipping (Sabrina Chao chairs family-owned Wah Kwong Maritime Transport) to tippling (Lili Ma, daughter of PingAn Insurance Chairman and CEO Peter Ma, is director of Mayfair Fine Wines). Yen Kuok,youngest offspringof Malaysian-Chinese tycoonRobert Kuok, has online site Guiltless, which sells secondhand luxury goods. As is often the case amongAsia'sprominent commercial clans, a web of ties connects the group: Chiu, 36, and Sabrina Chao, 42, are sisters- in-law; Gigi Chao, 37, and Sabrina Chao are cousins; Sabrina Ho Chiu Yeng, 25, is besties with Chiu's youngest sister and has known Yen Kuok, 26, since childhood; and Ma, 34, is friends with another of Chiu's sisters. But despite the close links, the women agreed that given their busy careers and frenetic travel schedules, getting together was a rare treat.--Mary E. Scott
