Hong Kong has a special geographical position. Whenever the night falls in North America and the morning dawns in European countries, the sun shines in Hong Kong. In other words, as long as multinational companies have offices in North America and Hong Kong, or Europe and Hong Kong at the same time, they can actually take advantage of the time difference between the two places to operate 24 hours a day to handle different projects. It is undoubtedly very convenient for companies engaged in information technology and financial services.
