In 2003, he returned to Hong Kong from the United States and joined a family company as an assistant to the chairman. Later, he acquired shares in Shine* and Visual Culture in his own name, focusing on selling high-end fashion clothes and eyewear in Harbour City, Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Beijing, and Shanghai. There are also branches, which specialize in European, American and Japanese fashion and eyewear, and are loved by stars such as Joey Yung and Charlene Choi.
