Reborn Capital Madman

When Gao Xian returned to Toronto, he became familiar with his newborn son, so Howard Hughes took the initiative to contact him, forcing him to set up a conference call in his study.

This gave Gao Xian a faint feeling, that is, Howard Hughes seemed to prefer and was better at communicating over the phone.

Of course, this is not important, and the content of Howard Hughes's conversation is more interesting.

Howard Hughes called to learn how Gao Xian would do a refreshing operation after receiving the Sands Hotel. Anyway, the acquisition contract has been signed in black and white, and the handover is still smooth. Gao Xian doesn't mind selling the other party for a face.

, briefly introduce your own plans, such as the prospects of the exhibition economy.

Exhibitions are no longer new things, but the driving force comes from the main government and industry associations that have gained influence. Making money by holding exhibitions is a new business topic.

From the experience in the "old script", the exhibition economy is generally considered a high-income and high-profit industry, especially the international exhibition industry's industrial driving coefficient can reach 1:9, that is, if the income of the exhibition venue is 1, then the relevant

The social income is 9.

The significance of this opportunity to Gao Xian, who is the chairman of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau, is that Xiangjiang can use its unique advantages to develop into an international exhibition center. Gao Xing Group is building an international exhibition building in Causeway Bay, and the Las Vegas Sands Hotel

The income outside the plan is icing on the cake.

Specifically, after the renovation is completed next year and the movie "Star Wars" is popular to earn a theme hotel income, Gao Xian is preparing to launch new emerging products such as personal computers and electronic game consoles in 1978.

Products are hot exhibitions.

Although Gao Xian didn't say it clearly, Howard Hughes easily understood the positive influence that the exhibition economy would have, especially in places like the United States. If an exhibition can bring considerable employment opportunities and economic income to the venue,

The official palace will undoubtedly curry favor with the exhibition organizers in every way.

"Can you pass me a survey report on the exhibition economy?" Howard Hughes made a straightforward request, "Of course, I won't ask for this result in vain, in Las Vegas and even Nevada, I

It is quite influential, and these resources can facilitate Sir Gao.”

Gao Xian smiled secretly. Howard Hughes's idea was a bit wild, but he couldn't be too petty, so he immediately asked his assistant to fax it.

The conference call ended like this, and then George Lucas came to Gao Xian in a dusty manner.

In fact, because of Gao Xian's intervention, the production process of the movie "Star Wars" must be much smoother than the "old script", but artistic creation is easy to achieve excellence and even nitpicking aristocratic disease, so that the release of the movie "Star Wars" is even more necessary.

Wait until next year, that is, 1977.

George Lucas first routinely introduced the recent situation of the production of the movie "Star Wars" to Sir Gao, the big money owner.

Gao Xian nodded, and then talked about the reason for asking the other party to come over, "Introduce you a business, which is related to "Star Wars". I just acquired the Sands Hotel next to the Casino Strip in Las Vegas and plan to use it.

The theme decoration of "Star Wars" and the reopening of the movie "Star Wars" next year, is there any licensing problem?"

Of course, George Lucas has no problem. After all, the movie "Star Wars" has not been released yet. It may be a mule or a horse. Las Vegas, a place that Hollywood elites like, can undoubtedly be

Help the movie "Star Wars" build momentum.

George Lucas asked excitedly: "How did Sir Gao use the theme of Star Wars for the Sands?"

"This will exhaust you." Gao Xian smiled and said, "Without affecting the progress of the production of the movie "Star Wars", you provide some design elements, such as placing an interstellar destroyer in the hall, and even at that time.

A movie launch conference for Star Wars can be held at the Sands Hotel.”

George Lucas was obviously excited by the big strings and his blood was pouring out. He nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, no problem, the design of these theme elements has been left to me, but I am not responsible for the calculation of the implementation cost.

.”

"That's it." Gao Xian also snapped his fingers happily, "Las Vegas casinos and hotels have never lacked architectural creativity, and all kinds of strange designs can emerge, but our "

The Star Wars design plan can definitely make a sensation across the United States, and you don’t need to consider budget issues.”

While drawing big pie, Gao Xian also actually stated that after all, George Lucas is familiar with the rules of Hollywood's business game and has a small calculation of how to protect and earn profits for the copyright he owns.

As soon as George Lucas left, He Hongshen rushed from Xiangjiang to the tall house in Toronto.

In fact, according to Gao Xian's original intention, although he and He Hongshen were in the Western Hemisphere and the other were in the Eastern Hemisphere, they could explain the matter clearly by choosing a suitable time and having a conference call.

But when He Hongshen heard that Gao Xian had bought a casino hotel in Las Vegas, and it was a famous casino hotel next to the Casino Strip, and he intended to entrust the casino business to manage it himself, he decided to come in person.

Talk in person in detail.

"Sir Gao has added Lin'er, which is a joyful congratulation! I didn't have time to prepare the gift and make it up later." He Hongshen apologized.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Gao Xian waved his hand with a smile.

After the greetings, He Hongshen couldn't wait to turn to the topic he was concerned about and asked curiously: "Sir Gao's acquisition of the Sands Hotel was very sudden. How much money did he use?"

Gao Xian didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Five million dollars."

"It's only 15 million US dollars?" He Hongshen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He finally got the racetrack business in Tehran, the capital of Iran, but that cost 50 million US dollars.

"There are other bargaining elements in the price of $15 million." Gao Xian explained slowly: "The money will not be less spent next, especially during the renovation period, the original staff cannot be fired. How to properly place them?

You have to think carefully.”

Seeing Gao Xian talking about personnel issues, He Hongshen tentatively said: "Sir Gao, the casino business cannot be separated from the world. Las Vegas is not as good as Tehran. Just make friends with the powerful and powerful. The influence of the mafia forces must be

Consider. After all, the casino business in Las Vegas is not a specialty.”

Gao Xian smiled slightly, "What you said is reasonable, but there is no need to worry."

“Since Howard Hughes made a big investment in Las Vegas, the mafia has largely left Las Vegas.”

"Besides, I took over the Sands Hotel from Howard Hughes, and the equity structure is so simple that it can't be simpler, and Howard Hughes is willing to introduce me to the resources in Las Vegas to facilitate."

"In addition, I have a friend who has a lot of immigrants who have escaped from the deceased South Vietnam, and can help with the affairs of the world."

"If you really have no clue, I'll find someone else, it's okay."

"No, I still know that if I missed this village, there would be no reason for this store. Otherwise, I would not have rushed over with a gust of wind." He Hongshen hurriedly stated: "Sir Gao is always convincing to do things. I

Just ask casually.”
