爛尾樓的“一波六折”

在拉斯維加斯的賭城大道上,一英畝土地的價格在4米~17米之間不等。八年前的三月也就是20133月,有一家來自亞洲的公司以3.5億美元買了87Acres)英畝土地,計劃建造一個具有東南亞風情的渡假村賭場,現如今八年過去了還沒有正式開業,因為一顆八卦的心我就去狗了一下,The Resorts World Casino艾瑪,太炸了!活脫脫的一個電影劇本啊,怎麽也能拍出另一部超長板的賭場風雲3.5個億開了個頭,40個億扔進去才是第一期的預算,宏偉壯觀的細節我就不囉嗦了,但是爛尾樓這樣的坑,全世界哪兒都是,誰碰都不會有好果子吃。

 

按理說以超低價買入旺地,給整個項目的成本控製,打下了良好的基礎。不是猛龍不過江,亞洲公司的團隊,應該是一群精英,在爛尾樓接著往下蓋的過程中,如果是前方案,為何不做出及時的修改?連我和領導都看出來的問題,他們為何視而不見?直到還差十層樓封頂之際,被對麵的Wynn告上了法庭,引用一段我以為最關鍵的證詞。

 

“In December 2018, Wynn Resorts filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against Genting, alleging similarities between Resorts World and Wynn's Las Vegas and Macau resorts. Alleged similarities included a curved facade and horizontal lines in between panels of bronze glass. Wynn Resorts alleged that Genting planned to profit by misleading visitors of Resorts World into believing that it was affiliated with Wynn's nearby Las Vegas resort. Wynn Resorts also alleged that someone involved in Resorts World Las Vegas had requested a local architect to produce a design for the project that would be identical or similar to Wynn's resorts.In January 2019, attorneys for Resorts World Las Vegas responded to the lawsuit, stating that the project had nearly two years to go before its opening and that it currently consisted of "a bare, skeletal structure covered by a few floors of window paneling," stating that once the resort was completed, it would look "dramatically different from Wynn's properties, dispelling any suggestion that a reasonable consumer could confuse the two resorts for each other."(來自網絡)

 

這就是思維方式的差異,為什麽要山寨別人呢?賭城是個什麽城?就是一個不差錢的城唄。法庭法官根本就不會偏幫誰,那是跟錢賭氣還是賭運氣呢?什麽叫一手好牌打個稀巴爛?當然了,等到快封頂了才發出訴訟是有點兒缺德,誰還沒有過犯錯的時候呢?隻不過有些錯誤的代價顯然過高,有些損失卻永遠無法彌補,隻須記住一點商場就是戰場,所有的過失都將變成對手的機會。

 

上麵提到的第一期預算40個億,是主樓56層的架構和主要設施,另外三幢副樓已由希爾頓集團接手,股東結構的調整在所難免,整個大環境的變化也越來越難以預測,真就是今時不同往日,任何一次人生的抉擇,與任何一個商業抉擇,似乎都離不開人們常提到的:一命二運三風水!

 

這是修改後的主樓圖片,早期的外形實在太神似,我當時就想如果打官司,他們非輸不可,可戲劇化的是差不多封頂才發生。“階級鬥爭要年年講月月講天天講”輕敵是真誤事兒!
