The trouble in Las Vegas, Gao Xian has been too lazy to fly to directly intervene.
Such major safety accidents have occurred one after another. Do those interest groups who previously disapproved dare to move against the trend?
As for the subsequent decline of Las Vegas tourism industry, it is indeed difficult to avoid the negative impact on the overall plan of making money. However, this trough period may be a rare opportunity for new forces to go deep into Las Vegas. Wen Enhui should be very good at dealing with this situation.
What's more, there are still a lot of things waiting for Gaoxian layout.
Take the case of another fire in Las Vegas, which is another shock to the Xiangjiang River.
Previously, the tallest skyscraper in Xiangjiang was the 178.5-meter Kangle building, which is now the headquarters of happy group - happy building; Last year, the hehe center broke the record with a height of 216 meters, and became the tallest skyscraper in Asia.
This more or less reflects the density of high-rise buildings in Xiangjiang, a small place, and the fire safety of high-rise buildings can not be ignored.
After the MGM hotel fire in November last year, BTV sent a news team to film the program on the spot according to Gao Xian's instructions. Once broadcast, it attracted extensive attention from Xiangjiang society; This time, the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas repeated its mistakes, which is equivalent to sounding the alarm again and legislating to improve fire safety standards. It is also unstoppable.
Of course, Gao Xian is not suitable for the role of waving flags and shouting, so as not to give the outside world a feeling of endorsing the business opportunities of the new fire standards. Although his main motivation comes from this, after all, some things can't be said to be done well.
Such things are just "foreign affairs". Gao Xian has an "internal affair" in front of him. It is time to implement it, that is, to fully digest the former largest real estate company in Xiangjiang by adjusting the management of Xiangjiang real estate.
To sum up, Gaoxian has successfully acquired Xiangjiang land for about three years. At the beginning, in order to stabilize the situation that its management was mainly composed of British people, Gao Xian did not radically reorganize the management of Xiangjiang land and let it continue to operate with a high degree of independence, except for appointing a new chairman of the board of directors and general manager and occupying a corresponding number of board seats.
In other words, Xiangjiang land is almost simply changing its owner, even freer than Jardine's era, and the internal rebound is not big.
Up to now, most of the key positions inside Xiangjiang land have been quietly replaced by people loyal to themselves by Gao Xian. It's time to end this "transition period".
The end of this "transition period" has many implications. For example, the most important financial aspect, the money made by Xiangjiang land, should begin to be handed over to the parent company happy group.
In order to realize these changes, Gao Xian needs to make some major personnel adjustments. His starting point is to participate in the opening ceremony of land Plaza of Xiangjiang land.
The so-called land Plaza means that Xiangjiang land demolished and rebuilt a series of old buildings located in the central business district of Hong Kong Island, including Gloucester, old Lane Crawford, Windsor, Princess and Duke according to the new overall plan. It belongs to the main part of the central reconstruction plan proposed by Xiangjiang land in 1974 at a cost of HK $600 million.
The construction of the landmark was started in 1976. Although the owner changed from Jardine to Gaoxian, the whole reconstruction plan was not delayed. Even because of more sufficient financial support, the construction progress was accelerated and perfected. For example, it took the initiative to cooperate with the planning office of the Hong Kong government to set up an air footbridge between the buildings, Further, these valuable properties of Xiangjiang land, which are located in the golden area of central business district, are connected, and even extend in all directions to hub locations such as the general post office, Tianxing ferry terminal, subway station and so on.
As a result, landmark has become a small kingdom and the "natural heart" of central. The success of the reconstruction plan is confirmed by the presence of high-end stores, including various luxury brands in Europe.
Specifically, the base of the building complex referred to by land Plaza covers an area of more than 20000 square feet and is divided into five floors. All its units are set up as boutiques and restaurants of different styles; Various performances can be held in the center of the landmark, such as fashion shows, concerts, exhibitions, etc; Coffee galleries and teahouses are set around, and the upper cover is transparent glass fiber.
As for the buildings surrounding the land Plaza, take the reconstructed Gloucester building as an example. It is 47 stories high and has a rental area of 600000 square feet, including 465000 square feet of office space and the rest are shops.
In addition, the rebuilt Duke's house is also 47 stories high and can provide a rental area of 600000 square feet.
The combined area of these two redeveloped buildings alone has increased by nearly 800000 square feet compared with the original old buildings.
As for the current situation of Xiangjiang real estate industry, taking class A office buildings as an example, the average monthly rent per square foot is about $21, while class A office buildings in prime locations in central can approach $30 per square foot.
In short, Xiangjiang land has always been known as the big landlord in Central Hong Kong Island and the "Pearl" of the real estate industry. The completion of the land Plaza concretized this status and value in front of the public, which further confirmed how wise Gao Xian had worked hard to acquire Xiangjiang land.
The opening ceremony of the landmark was held at 6 p.m. on the 15th of the first month. Gao Xian invited Chief Secretary Ji Da, the second-largest person in the Hong Kong government after the governor, to preside over the grand ceremony.
Jida is a very senior British colonial official. After retiring from the Royal Air Force Xiangjiang base in 1946, he entered the Hong Kong government; He played an important role as the core decision-making figure of the British side in the social turmoil in Xiangjiang in 1967, and became the first Commissioner of the ICAC after the establishment of the ICAC in Xiangjiang in the 1970s.
However, anti-corruption is a work that involves a wide range and tests the implementation skills. The ICAC under Ji Da's leadership has made too much effort to settle accounts with grass-roots police officers after autumn, which has triggered conflicts between police officers and ICAC personnel, as well as protests by many police officers' families.
Seeing that Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao would be in turmoil in Xiangjiang society, he issued an amnesty order and replaced Ji da. As compensation, he gave the chief secretary the No. 2 position of the Hong Kong government to Ji Da, who should retire in a few years.
Gao Xian and Ji DA can't talk about deep friendship. What we really want on this occasion is the Chief Secretary of the Hong Kong government to act as a facade. Ji Da also cooperated and talked and laughed with Sir Gao.
People who are a little sensitive to the governance of the company can notice the extraordinary nature of this occasion. In recent years, sir Gao of Xiangjiang land has almost ignored him. Attending the opening ceremony of the land Plaza this time, he seems to be very high-profile. He is in the middle with Chief Secretary Ji Da, so that Xia boyin, chairman of the board of directors of Xiangjiang land, and Wei Peter, general manager, have become junior brothers and stood behind.
It coincides with the Lantern Festival. The landmark is full of lights. With the crowd, it can be called a magnificent place.
Although Gao Xian's speech was not long, it was thought-provoking. "Thank you, sir gida, for coming and hosting the opening ceremony of land Plaza... I believe that as the owner of this feng shui treasure land, land will become a bright pearl of happy group..."
Xia boyin and Wei Peter looked at each other and guessed vaguely. Sir Gao endured for so long and finally began to fight Xiangjiang land.
Of course, both Xia boyin and Wei Peter were executives personally dug up by Gao Xian from Hutchison and parachuted to Xiangjiang land to maintain the stability of British dominated company operations. They should not be dissatisfied.
Sure enough, as Xia boyin and Wei Peter expected, after a series of celebrations, Gao Xian talked with them all night, "the successful completion of the huge central reconstruction plan of land acquisition depends on their thoughtful work."
Xia boyin and Wei Peter quickly said modestly, "it's your duty to praise Sir Gao."
Gao Xian continued to pave the way: "the project of rebuilding the new club building by Xiangjiang society is relatively special, and the required capital is about 200 million yuan. Xiangjiang society can't afford it. It needs to be paid in advance by the land, and then offset with the rent of 30 years."
"According to preliminary estimates, the new Xiangjiang club building on the 21st floor has a floor area of 280000 square feet. Excluding the part used by Xiangjiang club, the monthly rental income is about 6 million to 7 million. It can be used to break down accounts and repay debts. It can also be regarded as a long-term and stable financial source."
Xia boyin and Wei Peter nodded after being taught, "although the old members of HSBC and Jardine are suspected of forced apportionment, we are not at a loss."
Gao Xian continued tea for Xia boyin and Wei Peter. As soon as the conversation changed, he said confidently: "last year, I publicly announced that I intended to give up the post of chairman of the board of directors of happy group. It has been a big headache for me to take over."
Xia boyin said with a smile: "Sir Gao was rich and powerful in those days. He should be able to do more. Besides, happy group can't live without Sir Gao's wise leadership."
"I really want to give up the post of chairman of the board of directors of happy group. I want to focus more on Gaoyi." Gao Xian reiterated with a smile, "I've been thinking for a long time. It's better to select this successor from within."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian's eyes turned on the faces of Xia boyin and Wei Peter, and then slowly said: "I think Mr. Xia boyin is a highly respected candidate for the chairman of the board of directors of happy group. Mr. Wei Peter has done a good job and is enough to take over the post of chairman of the board of directors of land."
"As long as Sir Gao trusts me, I will obey." after listening to Gao Xian's arrangement, Xia boyin was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it calmly.
Peter Wei said tentatively, "the work of the general manager of land..."
Gao Xian smiled, "just choose someone from happy group and come to take over. Land's management experience should be learned more from happy group."
Xia boyin and Wei Peter knew that Sir Gao really began to "reorganize" the land.
However, even if they understood it, Xia boyin and Wei Peter did not dare to rebel. Sir Gao's authority was there. Who dared to die.
Moreover, Xia boyin is only a few years away from retirement, and he can't rise to that ambition and rise to the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group. Even if he has no real power and becomes a mascot under the light of Sir Gao, his personal treatment can rise. Why not!
Seeing that Xia boyin and Wei Peter obediently listened to their own arrangements, Gao Xian said with sincerity: "Mr. Xia boyin is mature and prudent, which is also in line with the stable development strategy and... Public image of happy group!"
Listening to Gao Xian's emphasis on the "public image", Xia boyin couldn't help feeling a little moved. What does this imply? Those in high positions are bound to express some views. Sir Gao is not instructing me. After taking over as chairman of the board of directors of happy group, don't stand in a clear line on the sensitive issue of the future of Xiangjiang.
Thinking of this, Xia boyin immediately said: "happy group plays an important role in Xiangjiang business. After I take over the chairman of the board of directors of happy group, I will be cautious in my words and deeds and safeguard the interests of the group."
Gao Xian laughed with satisfaction, raised his tea cup and said, "it's my luck to work with you two. I wish this friendship will last forever!"
Xia boyin and Wei Peter smiled in agreement, and their faces were full of sincere admiration. It was time for Xiangjiang land to fully integrate into Gao's consortium.

Besides, happy group can't live without Sir Gao's wise leadership.""I really want to give up the post of chairman of the board of directors of happy group. I want to focus more on Gaoyi." Gao Xian reiterated with a smile, "I've been thinking for a long time. It's better to select this successor from within."Speaking of this, Gao Xian's eyes turned on the faces of Xia boyin and Wei Peter, and then slowly said: "I think Mr. Xia boyin is a highly respected candidate for the chairman of the board of directors of happy group. Mr. Wei Peter has done a good job and is enough to take over the post of chairman of the board of directors of land.""As long as Sir Gao trusts me, I will obey." after listening to Gao Xian's arrangement, Xia boyin was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it calmly.Peter Wei said tentatively, "the work of the general manager of land..."Gao Xian smiled, "just choose someone from happy group and come to take over. Land's management experience should be learned more from happy group."Xia boyin and Wei Peter knew that Sir Gao really began to "reorganize" the land.However, even if they understood it, Xia boyin and Wei Peter did not dare to rebel. Sir Gao's authority was there. Who dared to die.Moreover, Xia boyin is only a few years away from retirement, and he can't rise to that ambition and rise to the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group. Even if he has no real power and becomes a mascot under the light of Sir Gao, his personal treatment can rise. Why not!Seeing that Xia boyin and Wei Peter obediently listened to their own arrangements, Gao Xian said with sincerity: "Mr. Xia boyin is mature and prudent, which is also in line with the stable development strategy and... Public image of happy group!"Listening to Gao Xian's emphasis on the "public image", Xia boyin couldn't help feeling a little moved. What does this imply? Those in high positions are bound to express some views. Sir Gao is not instructing me. After taking over as chairman of the board of directors of happy group, don't stand in a clear line on the sensitive issue of the future of Xiangjiang.Thinking of this, Xia boyin immediately said: "happy group plays an important role in Xiangjiang business. After I take over the chairman of the board of directors of happy group, I will be cautious in my words and deeds and safeguard the interests of the group."Gao Xian laughed with satisfaction, raised his tea cup and said, "it's my luck to work with you two. I wish this friendship will last forever!"Xia boyin and Wei Peter smiled in agreement, and their faces were full of sincere admiration. It was time for Xiangjiang land to fully integrate into Gao's consortium.PS: bow to thank the book friend: the reward of ambush!!
