On the plane to Las Vegas, Gao Xian was still thinking about the real motivation of Howard Hughes to hire himself as a consultant and financial manager.
Admittedly, Howard Hughes is elusive and an unpleasant freak, but that doesn't mean Howard Hughes is stupid!
Gao Xian thought one by one about the various old age performances of all the great figures at home and abroad, and finally came to a preliminary conclusion, that is, Howard Hughes really wanted to do something, but he was powerless, so he knew his outsider by chance and wanted to use his strength remotely.
As for the correctness of this inference, it can only be carefully verified after the second meeting with Howard Hughes.
When Gao Xian arrived in Las Vegas, he naturally checked into the Sands Hotel he bought, and then started his work schedule.
From the perspective of the media, the second change of ownership of Jinsha hotel came suddenly. There was no news in advance. It seemed that without any bedding, it was suddenly transferred from the reclusive tycoon Howard Hughes to the rural rich man Gao Xian.
It is determined that the change of ownership of Jinsha hotel is still because Jinsha hotel is about to be adjusted, which is passed on by word of mouth by staff and tourists, while summa, the original controller of Jinsha Hotel, defaults.
Without an official news briefing, the media can only analyze it by themselves. Of course, this is what the media is good at.
It is believed that Howard Hughes' sale of Jinsha hotel is a positive response to the antitrust investigation of the Ministry of justice.
After all, the business tycoon's investment in Las Vegas is indeed too concentrated. Casino hotels alone bought six, which obviously makes other Casino hotels very afraid.
Now, Howard Hughes sold the Sands Hotel next to casino Avenue, which is equivalent to giving a concession to Zhengfu and Casino Hotel colleagues.
At the same time, this transaction can also well cover up the embarrassment of the obvious decline in the operation of Jinsha hotel in recent years.
At the beginning, after Howard Hughes got the Sands Hotel, he began to drive away the big star Frank Sinatra, who has a close relationship with the Mafia, and the "rat party" headed by him. It was a very exciting and enjoyable thing to say, and became a favorite gossip material for newspapers.
But one thing, Frank Sinatra did bring popularity to a casino hotel. He could be called the most popular performer in Las Vegas at that time. In addition, other members of the "rat party" were also stars that could not be underestimated. They did not perform in the Sands Hotel, and the impact on the operation of the Sands Hotel was obvious.
Now Howard Hughes has sold the Sands Hotel, which can be regarded as the symbol of Las Vegas City.
The media are certainly not satisfied with their own analysis. They hope that the new owner of Jinsha hotel can hold a press conference for official communication, which should be a natural arrangement.
However, even when Gao Xian arrived in Las Vegas, he did not intend to respond to the voice of the media. Without it, he deliberately played a low-key, or called it hunger marketing.
After all, it needs a certain degree of confidentiality to match the Star Wars theme to the Jinsha Hotel, so that it can create as big a gimmick as possible next year. From now on, it is a means not in vain.
In addition, after taking over the Jinsha Hotel, Gao Xian must make necessary personnel adjustments to avoid the magnifying glass of the media, so as to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Overall, the handover process of Jinsha hotel was smooth. Although Howard Hughes sells Sands Hotel a little "willful", the poorly managed Sands Hotel is only one of the many Casino hotels controlled by summa company, and the management is limited even if there is resistance.
Under the condition of smooth handover, the staff and contracted performers of Jinsha hotel are also in stable mood and can basically calmly accept the initially announced arrangements for the next year.
Gao Xian's inspection of Jinsha hotel is the first item on the agenda, which is also in this regard.
At the internal meeting of Jinsha Hotel, Gao Xian said with great appeal: "I want to add exciting new elements to Jinsha hotel. After the decoration is completed and reopened next year, everyone here will not only work but also increase their salary if they are willing."
In general, Gao Xian seldom goes to the most subtle level in his work. Otherwise, what do his subordinates do?
However, for Jinsha Hotel, Gao Xian put forward two specific and detailed work requirements.
One is that the venue facilities should be component-based. To put it bluntly, the original performance stage and banquet hall can be converted into exhibition halls and even boxing venues to the greatest extent. When they are used up, they can be restored to the performance stage and banquet hall.
The other is that we must pay more attention to fire protection. Every staff of Jinsha hotel should receive new fire protection training, and the fire protection facilities of Jinsha hotel should also be transformed.
It is necessary to point out that the fire protection work in this era needs to be strengthened all over the world. Not only does Xiangjiang have fires in wooden houses and factory buildings every month, but the United States cannot be spared.
The reason is that the government has not formulated a more stringent fire protection policy that needs higher social costs.
For example, in the "old script", the common standard smoke sensor seen by tourists after staying in the hotel decades later, at this stage, few businessmen are willing to spend more money outside the mandatory requirements of the Zhengfu.
It is precisely under this relaxed fire protection standard that in the next few years in the "old script", there will be several major fires in Las Vegas that shocked the world. Needless to say, they have caused heavy losses, which has damaged the tourism industry in Las Vegas, triggered the US Congress to formulate stricter fire protection standards, and other parts of the world have followed suit.
Gao Xian doesn't want to suffer a reckless disaster. As long as it is his own site, the fire protection standard must meet Gao's requirements. On the surface, he seems to have invested more and done stupid things, but in fact, he still saves costs.
You know, in the "old script", those Casino hotels in Las Vegas with major fires often lose hundreds of millions of dollars and even have to be pushed to the ruins for reconstruction, which can be called extremely unlucky.
After completing the preliminary inspection of the Sands Hotel, Gao Xian is ready to leave for Houston, Texas.
Although Howard Hughes often makes Gao Xian unhappy, he feels that he still doesn't want to quarrel with an elderly drug addict, and he can get to Houston early to make preparations, and then go back to Las Vegas to continue his unfinished work.
As it happens, old Bush is also in Houston and can meet Gao Xian.
"How dare you start a business with such a strange man as Hughes?" don't be surprised by the tone of old Bush on the phone.
"I also feel incredible." Gao Xian said with a smile: "after meeting, I'll tell you the interesting topics in detail."
However, when Gao Xian arrived in Houston, he received a message that made him very sad.
