This is the mandarin version of the cantonese "Kong Hee Fatt Choy" which means Congratulations & Prosperity. It is a greeting used by Cantonese when greeeting each other during the Chinese New Year.

People in South China like saying that in Chinese New Year to express good wishes,which means "wish you richer".As lots of South China people are business men

Chinese in China do not even greet one another using this greeting wish; I suppose it is of Cantonese origin and exported to overseas Chinese communities.
In China they just say "Xin Nian Hao"... literally "Good New Year"

That's pronounced in mandarin.
It literally means 'Congratulations, Good fortunes'. It is used as a means of wishing people luck. I am not sure of its etmological origins.
