Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from the rental and sale of construction machinery and spare parts (HK$157 million), supplemented by money lending (HK$3 million), provision of repair, maintenance, and transportation services (HK$6 million), and asset management, securities brokerage, along with other financial services (HK$7 million).
