IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 101 26-50 VICE-CHAIRMAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CEO SJM Holdings DIRECTOR SJM Resorts 副主席、執行董事兼行政總裁 澳門博彩控股有限公司集團 董事 澳娛綜合度假股份有限公司 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 POWER SCORE 權能指數: 663 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名: 30 Stanley Ho’s right-hand man for decades Joined gaming concession holder STDM in 1976 在數十年間作為何鴻燊的左右手 於1976年加入當時的博彩承批公司澳娛 AMBROSE SO 35 蘇樹輝 WITH POWER OVER the SJM stable firmly in the hands of Pansy Ho, Daisy Ho and their allies, one-time factional rival and veteran vice chairman and CEO Ambrose So increasingly represents the end of a transitional period of a company burned by poor fortune, rather than its future. For the longest time So was a trusted and respected lieutenant to Stanley Ho, but with SJM jettisoning market share and satellite casino networks and being forced to turn to the banks for more bridging finance to see itself through the pandemic, the company must look to a pragmatic future rather than its powerful past. Few seriously speculate that SJM’s concession re-bid is in doubt, and So will play an important and galvanizing role in the bidding process. He also stands as perhaps the last remaining “peacemaker” between SJM’s factions, having been in the company for 47 years and boasting an intimate knowledge of its inner workings. But in the longer term, the spectre of Grand Lisboa Palace’s poor opening and a wider lack of supple governance hangs over the company. If So retires from the company after winning a new concession, it will be a fitting and glorious end to a solid, market- shaping career, as well as a critical signal of corporate renewal. 隨著 澳博控股的權力被牢牢掌握在何超瓊、何超鳳及其盟友手中，曾經的 派系競爭對手、資深副主席兼行政總裁蘇樹輝代表的可能是一個陷入財政 窘迫的公司以及一段過渡時期的結束，而非其未來。 在相當長的一段時間裏，蘇樹輝一直是何鴻燊極為信任的左右手。然 而隨著澳娛綜合逐漸喪失的市場份額、衛星賭場及被迫向銀行尋求更多過 渡性融資以挨過新冠疫情，該公司必須著眼於更為務實的未來，而非躺在 輝煌的過往。 很少人會去認真質疑澳娛綜合會否重新競得博彩經營承批合約，以及 蘇樹輝在此過程中所發揮的重要激勵作用。他還可能是澳娛內部各派系之 間僅存的最後一位「和事佬」，畢竟在澳博已經任職47年，他對公司內部 運作了若指掌。 但長遠來看，上葡京的開業狀況不佳以及缺乏靈活管理的陰影，依舊 籠罩著該公司。如果蘇樹輝在該公司獲得新的博彩經營批給後選擇退休， 將為其堅實而深刻業界的職業生涯 畫上一個光榮而完美的句號，並且也將 是該公司變革的重要信號。
