Known as a loving husband and father, Roger Kwok (郭晉安) is looking to invest in a dessert shop as an additional income source to support his family. The 48-year-old future boss was recently seen meeting with various vendors and shop owners to learn the tricks of the trade. Taking a hands-on approach with his new venture, Roger was serious and professional as he inquired about the many aspects of starting a business. Roger has seen an increase in money-making opportunities after this year’s controversial yet popular series Inbound Troubles <老表，你好嘢>. His starring role in legal comedy Awfully Lawful <熟男有惑> further raised his public profile. Having achieved financial security, Roger has recently been seeking out long-term investments to stretch his dollars further. In August, he put down $7 million HKD on a Tai Koo Shing unit which he plans to rent out to generate profit. He hopes that the practical investment will guarantee his family’s living expenses in the future. In addition to real estate, Roger now has plans to become a business owner. Recently, Roger traveled to China to attend the grand opening of Wing Wah Cake Shop’s flagship store in Shenzhen. Although he was originally scheduled to appear at the shop, Roger was later re-directed to perform the ceremony at a nearby hotel to ensure his safety from the crowds. As proof of his status and popularity in mainland China, Roger was accompanied by executives throughout the event and was given the VIP treatment. He also allegedly pocketed a 6-figure sum for this brief, one-hour guest appearance. After the event was over, Roger immediately took a detour to visit a wholesale fruit market nearby. Studious and attentive, Roger spoke with several vendors to learn more about costs and the procurement process. Later, he was seen speaking with the owner of a local dessert shop, seeking advice on pricing, tastings, and menu designs. Creds: East Week
