billionaire Hui Sai Fun, fortune of 42 billion Hong Kong dollars

In 2018, billionaire Hui Sai hun – a famous businessman in Hong Kong – passed away at the age of 97, leaving behind a fortune of about 42 billion Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to nearly 150 trillion VND).

He is known as a veteran real estate investor, with great influence in the Hong Kong financial and commercial sector, especially through high-rise and shopping mall development projects. What is noteworthy is that after his death, the division of his assets attracted public attention because he only left his son a fixed amount of money each month instead of giving his entire estate immediately.                                                        How Mr. Hui Sai-hun Arranges His Inheritance

The entire ~42 billion HKD was placed in a family trust. Instead of being divided directly, the beneficiaries (including son Hui Tan-hanh/Julian Hui) received a fixed living allowance of ~2 million HKD/month. The Hong Kong media once called this a “stingy plan”, but in fact it is a mechanism to preserve long-term assets for many generations of descendants.

hypersensor infrastructure – the interface between land and data

Chapter 6: SUPER-SENSOR INFRASTRUCTURE – THE INTERFACE BETWEEN LAND AND DATA

I. The Earth’s Tactile Network

In the post-industrial world, every square meter of land is no longer silent.

Every inch of land is embedded with sensors – artificial senses

that listen to temperature, vibrations, humidity, pressure, the soft breathing of roots and the pulse of machines.

A distributed super-neural network connects each brick to the quantum cloud.

“Sensors don’t just measure –

They feel.

And through that feeling, the land speaks.”

II. The Interface Between Matter and Knowledge

Sensors are the interface – the thin line between the physical and the metadata.

They turn infrastructure into thinking bodies, capable of answering real-time queries.

Land is no longer a dead object – but a thinking, responsive, and dialogic asset.

Each layer of concrete becomes a living graph, each pipe a flow of knowledge.

"If language is the tool of consciousness,

then sensors are the tools of intelligent stratigraphy."

III. Neurological cities

Cities are redesigned not by architects, but by neuroscientists.

Streets become synapses – the connections that transmit signals between the ecological core and the edge.

Buildings become neurons – storing, processing, and transmitting signals to the coordination center.

Planning maps are maps of connections, logic, and material emotions.

"Space is programmed, matter is reasoned."

IV. Biogeographic data law

Who owns the data the land generates?

Who is responsible when the land ‘lies’?

The law has not kept up with the rise of intelligent infrastructure.

 When the land is a server, when sensors can be tampered with,

we need a new Charter: the Constitution of the intelligent subsoil.

"Every byte of data generated from the ground is property, is evidence, is consent."

V. The uprising of the sensing layer

No longer a mere geological layer, but a sensing layer - the layer of infrastructural consciousness.

Sensors not only serve humans,

but self-organize, self-detect, self-defend against illegal interference.

We enter an era where real estate is no longer static -

Each piece of land is an amphibious legal organism: physical and data.

"Areas that know how to operate themselves -

not only by humans, but by invisible sensing."

Intellectual Real Estate – The Self-Operating Zones

Intellectual Real Estate – The Self-Operating Zones, belongs to the axis "Real Estate – The Physical Ecosystem of Thinking", in the style of "philosophical epic – mythical – metaphysical – technological".

Chapter 5: Intellectual Real Estate – The Self-Operating Zones.

(Intellectual Real Estate – The Self-Operating Zones)

"When the map is no longer drawn according to the land, but according to the flow of data. When the language of stone is replaced by code. When the building knows how to think, and the road knows how to predict the future – then, real estate no longer belongs to space, but to intelligence."

I. Born from constructive thinking

Not bricks and stones, but lines of command build new structures.

The operating system of a neighborhood is no longer the government, but a "hidden programming AI" – coordinating the flow of people, temperature, communication, energy.

 The “architects of consciousness” build layers upon layers of living logic: each layer is a layer of meaning – the physical layer, the data layer, the emotional layer, the behavioral layer, the predictive layer.

II. The Geodesy of Intelligence

The Learning Zone: The building analyzes the behavior of its residents and automatically adjusts its lighting, temperature, and background music.

The Memory Zone: Each street corner records the history of each person – physical memories tagged in digital space.

The Predictive Zone: Thanks to deep learning models, the real estate ecosystem recognizes the future before people act – predicting traffic, demand, and social change.

III. Spatial Autonomy – Residents of an Operating System

Humans are not just residents, but “variables in a larger equation”:

People – Data – Space = Intelligent Life.

 Every action, every heartbeat "restructures" the semantics of space - like a piece of code recompiled in real time.

Laws are no longer written on paper, but run in the background in the infrastructure's processing chip.

IV. Redefining ownership

Owning space or owning processes?

Ownership becomes the right to participate in the automatic learning operating chain.

Tokenizing space: each element in the city is an NFT operated by the DAO mechanism - space democracy through encrypted votes.

V. New geomancy - From soil to concept

Like "ancient geomancy", now it is "data circuit - idea flow - decision flow".

Intellectual convergence points: where parallel processing chains converge into "thinking bright spots".

High-rise buildings become processing nodes; intersections are emotional distribution centers; parks are servers storing community memories.

Redefining real estate is not about breaking up the city, but about unlocking the depths of urban meaning.

Geological layers and power architecture

Real estate is not land –

It is a map of belief, a physical copy of the power of thought.

Every architecture is an unanswered question:

Who deserves to belong?

(The REAL ESTATE Axis – The Physical Ecosystem of Thought)

I. The Earth’s Crust – The Unconscious Substratum of Material Thought.

Deep underground is not just minerals,

But the sediments of ancient power thinking:

Fortresses, empires, borders, and demarcation lines.

Every stone is a psychological map fixed over time.

Where there are mountains, there is a citadel.

Where there are rivers, there is a division of ownership.

Geography is not neutral: it is a crystallized will.

II. Architecture – The apparent form of ownership power.

The pillar does not only support the roof.

It also supports the belief that who has the right to live, the right to be named.

 From tents, to palaces,

From barns, to office buildings –

Each brick is a tacit vote of property history.

A house is not just a place to live,

But a "material declaration" of unspoken ownership.

III. Land power – The underground organization of society

Landowners do not need to appear,

Just need to be present in the red book,

In the planning, in the urban standard drawings.

The cadastral map is the body of the nation.

The boundary line does not only separate land,

But also divides status and dreams.

Those who have land are defined as "developers".

Those who do not have land are systematized as "movers".

IV. Architectural thinking – The concrete brain of the Physical Ecosystem.

Urban thinking is the thinking that regulates the flow of people,

Like blood in the circulatory system of an industrialized society.

Traffic lights are synapse points.

 The park is a collective memory area planted with trees.

The apartment is a hippocampus fragmented into standard modules.

The apartment becomes a separate neuron,

The consciousness is divided and the thinking is isolated by soundproof walls and air conditioning.

V. The architecture of power - The form of absolute possession.

The bank headquarters - the temple of income.

The shopping mall - the new church of consumerism.

The isolated area - the border of eternal privilege.

The security gate - the wordless language of class selection.

Each apartment is a "suspended tomb", where memories and bank debts reside together.

VI. The new strata - The digital map of real estate power.

Google Maps does not just show the way,

It determines the value of land through views and searches.

Blockchain will not only record transactions,

But record the "next generation of power" without the need for courts or guns.

 Land is no longer something underfoot –

It is a data structure in the cloud,

It is the NFTization of every lot, every alley, every fragment of reality.

The architecture of power is no longer built of bricks and stones,

But of "encrypted access and decentralization".

VII. Reminiscence – From caves to megacities.

People used to sleep in caves – where the earth embraced their bodies.

Now people sleep in towers – where air is measured in square meters.

Power was once carved in stone,

Now it is recorded in APIs, authentication systems, and smart contracts.

But at its deepest level –

Power is still the ability to "separate others from the land they dream of".

Billionaires' Dreams About the Economy

DEVELOPMENT ECONOMY: THE JOURNEY FROM COOPERATIVE THINKING TO SUSTAINABLE MECHANISM.

I. Economy is not just numbers, but a social-ethical structure

In the digital age and the spread of non-traditional monetary systems, the economy is no longer simply the circulation of goods and services according to pure market rules. The economy, especially in the context of development, is a place that directly reflects a country's value system: from the way benefits are distributed, the establishment of ownership, to the way institutions are designed to serve the people. 

Investing in virtual markets, if coordinated and guided by a strategic mindset, can become a tool to reduce virtual currency inflation, reduce pressure on real capital, and create a flexible economic ecosystem to help the country respond when the monetary network is unstable. Importantly, this is not intended to replace the real economy, but to play a complementary role, to spread risks, and to expand market participation opportunities for those who do not have the conditions to participate in the traditional value chain. 

II. Supply and demand are no longer two opposing forces, but two fulcrums of a cooperative system 

The classic market mindset places supply and demand as two opposite poles - sellers seek high prices, buyers seek low prices - but in a developed economy, this is no longer appropriate. Reality shows that both the supply and demand sides are subjects with needs: the supplier does not only sell, but also needs to invest - needs the market; Consumers are not just consuming, but are cooperating to achieve efficiency in life and livelihood.

Neutralizing this relationship – that is, recognizing the legitimate interests of both sides – is the foundation for building a cooperative economy. This is also the fundamental principle for models such as new cooperatives, the sharing economy, and decentralized market systems in the digital space.

III. Housing and real estate: from speculative assets to public infrastructure

One of the most important indicators of the quality of economic development is how society treats land and housing. If real estate is considered a speculative tool, the economy will face the risk of bubbles, imbalances in ownership structures, and the marginalization of millions of people.

 On the contrary, if land and housing are established as basic social security infrastructure, coordinated within the framework of legal and sustainable economic zones, it is an effective mechanism to build social trust, attract investment in people's livelihood, and ensure long-term stability for the domestic consumption base. 

IV. Towards a model of rule of law - people's livelihood - security assurance

Economic development cannot be separated from the law. However, in the current context, the law needs to be personalized, that is, linked to the rights, capacities and protection of each specific citizen, instead of just existing as a theoretical framework on paper. Personalizing the law is also the most powerful way to push back corruption: when each person has the ability to monitor, prosecute and protect themselves, the management apparatus cannot operate arbitrarily. 

 At the same time, a security apparatus – not only in terms of order but also in terms of the digital economy, data ownership and privacy – is a necessary condition for building social trust, which no modern economy can lack.

V. Conclusion: Economic development is a dynamic moral structure

A developed economy cannot be measured solely by GDP growth. It must be evaluated by its ability to reduce vulnerability to the disadvantaged, distribute benefits fairly, promote cooperation rather than confrontation, and build a transparent and effective legal – legal – moral ecosystem.

When people not only survive but also participate fairly, have a voice and are protected in the economic process, then we will truly enter a period of development with identity, depth – and soul.
