IAG MAR 2020年3月 亞博匯 54 Genting Group Chairman and CEO Lim Kok Thay 雲頂集團董事長兼首席執行官林國泰 JAPAN open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.” But appearing on behalf of the opposite contention is, “Nature abhors a vacuum” – in this day and age of social media and widely available instant communication platforms, various commentators and even the public at large will happily jump in to create a narrative if the company doesn’t create its own. Genting Singapore President and CEO Tan Hee Teck has done a serviceable if bland job selling the company in his very few public appearances, mostly at the fledgling industry trade shows starting to pop up around the Japanese IR industry. This blandness may well be by design and who knows what machinations are going on behind the scenes. Genting managed to get the job done in Singapore, but that was essentially a home fixture. Let’s see how Genting plays an away game. We will continue our deep dive into Japan’s candidate operators in our upcoming April 2020 edition of IAG, in which we will take a close look at the remaining 16 candidates. 式,部分已公佈的日本市場規則亦可看到新加坡的踪影, 如為當地人訂下高昂的賭場入場費、嚴格限制博彩面積, 以及避免採用博彩中介人模式。 新加坡鮮明的廉潔形象 亦深深打動了日本的上流一族。 雲頂新加坡最引人注目的一點是,在過去數十年來, 其公關策略一直奉行「無可奉告」的政策。這政策可謂有 利有弊,當中的優勢可以用一句格言概括:「寧願保持沉 默讓人看起來像個傻子,也不要一開口就證明自己確實 如此。」然而,其劣勢亦可用另一句諺語來解釋:「自然界 裏是沒有真空的。」意即在今時今日社交媒體和即時通訊 軟件泛濫的年代,如企業不主動地構建自己的語境形象, 其他旁觀者乃至公眾將介入其中,影響企業的形象走向。 在競逐日本牌照上,雲頂新加坡董事長兼首席營運 官陳啟德只出席了極為少數的公開場合,大部分是有關 日本新興IR行業的貿易展會,其工作雖為稱職但平淡無 奇,或者這份平淡無奇正是雲頂所想的,因為沒有人確實 知道該公司背後有甚麼規劃。 雖然雲頂在新加坡取得成功,但這相對而言較為簡 單,在日本市場的競逐才見真章 。 我們將在四月期刊繼續和您一起深入探討另外16 間日本IR的候選營運商。
