When Gao Xian returned to Toronto, that is, he was familiar with his new son's face. Howard Hughes took the initiative to contact him again, so that he had to set up a teleconference battle in his study.
This makes Gao Xian have a faint feeling that Howard Hughes seems to prefer and be better at communicating over the phone.
Of course, it doesn't matter. Howard Hughes's conversation is more interesting.
Howard Hughes called to find out how Gaoxian could make a fresh operation after receiving Jinsha hotel. Anyway, the acquisition contract has been signed in black and white, and the handover work is still smooth. Gaoxian doesn't mind selling each other a face, and gives a general introduction to his scheme, such as the prospect of exhibition economy.
The exhibition is not a new thing for a long time, but the driving force basically comes from the government and industry associations in order to win influence. It is a new business topic to make money by holding exhibitions.
From the experience in the "old script", the exhibition economy is generally regarded as a high-income and high-profit industry. In particular, the industrial driving coefficient of the international exhibition industry can be as high as 1:9, that is, if the income of the exhibition venues is 1, the relevant social income is 9.
The significance of this opportunity for Gao Xian, chairman of Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau, is that Xiangjiang can take advantage of its unique advantages to develop into an international convention and Exhibition Center. Happy group is building an international convention and Exhibition Building in Causeway Bay, and the income outside the plan of Las Vegas Sands Hotel can be regarded as icing on the cake.
Specifically, after the decoration is completed next year and the movie star wars is popular to earn a sum of revenue from the theme hotel, Gao Xian is ready to launch an exhibition focusing on emerging products such as personal computers and video game consoles in the following year, that is, 1978.
Although Gao Xian didn't say it clearly, Howard Hughes easily understood the positive influence of the exhibition economy, especially in places like the United States. If an exhibition can bring considerable employment opportunities and economic income to the host, the government will undoubtedly curry favor with the exhibition organizers in every way.
"Can you send me a research report on the exhibition economy?" Howard Hughes asked bluntly. "Of course, I won't want this achievement for nothing. I'm influential in Las Vegas and even Nevada. These resources can provide convenience for Sir Gao."
In this regard, Gao Xian smiled to himself. Howard Hughes's idea was a little wild, but he really couldn't be too stingy. He immediately ordered his assistant to fax a copy.
The conference call was over, and then George Lucas came to Gao Xian with heavy travel.
In fact, because of Gao Xian's intervention, the production process of the film star wars must be much smoother than that of the "old script", but artistic creation is easy to keep improving, and even find fault with aristocracy, so that the release time of the film star wars will wait until next year, that is, 1977.
George Lucas first routinely introduced the recent production of the film star wars to Sir Gao, the big financier.
Gao Xian nodded and then talked about the reason for looking for each other. "I'd like to introduce you a business related to star wars. I just bought the Sands Hotel next to Las Vegas Casino Avenue. I plan to use the theme of Star Wars to decorate and reopen with the release of Star Wars next year. Is there a problem with the authorization?"
Of course, George Lucas has no problem. After all, the movie star wars has not been released yet. Maybe it's a mule or a horse. Las Vegas, a place of voice and sex loved by Hollywood elites, can undoubtedly help build momentum for the movie star wars.
George Lucas asked excitedly, "how is Sir Gao going to use the Star Wars theme for the Sands Hotel?"
"It's going to bother you." Gao Xian said with a smile: "on the premise of not affecting the production progress of star wars, you can provide some design element schemes, such as placing a Star Destroyer in the hall. At that time, you can even hold a film Conference for Star Wars at Jinsha Hotel."
George Lucas was obviously excited by the big cake drawn by the high string, and nodded again and again: "no problem, no problem, I've given the design of these theme elements to me, but I'm not responsible for the implementation cost."
"That's settled." Gao Xian also snapped his fingers happily. "Las Vegas Casino hotels always lack architectural creativity. Any strange designs can come out, but our Star Wars design scheme can definitely make a sensation in the United States. You don't need to consider the budget."
While drawing the big cake, Gao Xian also has a practical expression. After all, George Lucas is very familiar with the rules of Hollywood's business game and has a small abacus on how to protect and earn profits from his own copyright.
As soon as George Lucas left, he Hongshen rushed from Xiangjiang to the high house in Toronto.
In fact, according to Gao Xian's original intention, although he and he Hongshen are in the Western Hemisphere and the eastern hemisphere, they can make things clear as long as they pick a suitable time and hold a teleconference.
But when he Hongshen heard that Gao Xian had bought a casino hotel in Las Vegas, and that he was also the famous Sands Hotel next to the casino Avenue, and intended to entrust the casino business to himself, he decided to come in person and talk in detail face to face.
"Sir Gao added lin'er again. Congratulations! I left in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a big gift. I'll make it up later." he Hongshen said sorry.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Gao Xian smiled and waved his hand.
After greeting, he Hongshen couldn't wait to turn to the topic he was concerned about, and listened curiously: "Sir Gao's acquisition of Jinsha hotel was very sudden. How much money did he spend?"
Gao Xian didn't hide either. He directly replied, "fifteen million dollars."
"Only 15 million dollars?" he Hongshen couldn't help but stare. He managed to get the business of the racetrack in Tehran, the capital of Iran, which cost 50 million dollars.
"There are other bargaining elements in the price of $15 million." Gao Xian slowly explained: "the next money will not be less. Especially during the decoration period, the original staff can not be dismissed. We should think carefully about how to properly place them."
Seeing Gao Xian talking about the personnel problem, he Hongshen said tentatively, "Sir Gao, the casino business is inseparable from the Jianghu. Las Vegas is no better than dehilan. As long as you make friends with dignitaries, you can't ignore the influence of Mafia forces. After all, the casino business in Las Vegas is not exclusive."
Gao Xian smiled, "what you said is reasonable, but there is no need to worry."
"Since Howard Hughes invested heavily in Las Vegas, mafia forces have basically left Las Vegas."
"Besides, I took over the Sands Hotel from Howard Hughes. The ownership structure can't be simpler, and Howard Hughes is willing to introduce me to the resources of Las Vegas to provide convenience."
"In addition, I have a friend who has a lot of immigrants who have escaped from the fallen South Vietnam. He can also help with Jianghu affairs."
"If you really have no bottom, I'll find someone else. It doesn't matter."
"No, I still know that if I miss this village, there will be no reason for this shop. Otherwise, I won't come here in a gust of wind." he Hongshen quickly said, "Sir Gao is always convincing. I'm just asking."
