Author here. The scraping is correct :) But you found something that's common on the registry: companies with very similar names, or even identical names at different times, even if they're completely unrelated (which they might o

Which phenomenon? Being the author of an article? ;) If you mean "why are names of companies being changed every couple of months?", I really have no idea, especially given that some of these companies seem to be linked, so it&#x2

I'm the author of this article. Unfortunately financial and officer/director data for Hong Kong private companies is hidden behind a paywall (see details here under the section Tear Down That Wall: https://webb-site.com

Yes, I didn't normalise for age/grottiness of building. But isn't it interesting that it's the older/grottier buildings that didn't skip the number 4? But this doesn't really explain the difference in pric

But before that I include a graph of flats available, and indeed there are fewer flats with floor numbers ending with 4! So an interesting analysis would be to see if the turnover (transactions divided by availability) is different... But I

Great idea, I'll add it to the to-do pile!
