Switch over to Carina's cars

Winnie Yeung

Actress-turned-businesswoman Carina Lau Ka-ling is mingling with property magnates for her latest business venture. Her goal is to launch a new business model - selling cars on television, with flats, travel packages or insurance products to follow.

Appearing in her capacity as chief executive of TV Mart yesterday, she told CitySeen: 'I had this idea because I knew some friends in the property business. I thought shopping on television should not just be confined to cosmetics and small gifts.'

Besides the usual shopping on Cable TV's channel 25, we can now look forward to information on new and second-hand cars and lucky-number car licence plates, Lau says. And the best thing is, you can return the car to TV Mart at a 10 per cent discount within 15 days - if it has been driven less than 1,500km.

We'll just have to wait and see if the venture will revolutionise our shopping habits.
