Sands China has turned to a gaming outsider with political links to Beijing as its new chief operating officer, an effort to strengthen ties to government as the sector struggles with tumbling revenue.

金沙中國(Sands China)任命了一名博彩行業外的、在北京擁有政治人脈的人士出任新的首席營運總裁，以加強與政府的聯繫。博彩行業目前正疲於應對營收銳減。

The Hong Kong-listed unit of Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands has chosen Wilfred Wong, a former construction executive, to take on the role of chief operating officer and president, replacing Rob Goldstein following his move to the US parent company.

金沙中國是謝爾登阿德爾森(heldon Adelson)旗下拉斯維加斯金沙集團(Las Vegas Sands)的香港上市子公司。該公司已選擇前建築業高管王英偉(Wilfred Wong)出任其總裁兼首席營運總裁，接替即將回到美國母公司的羅布戈爾茨坦(Rob Goldstein)。

Mr Wong was a member of China’s National People’s Congress from 2007-2012 and has served in various posts in both the Hong Kong and central government.

王英偉曾在2007年至2012年擔任中國全國人大代表，並曾在香港和中央政府內擔任過不同的職務。

Analysts at Bernstein Research pointed to his “strong ties” to the Chinese government as the key to his appointment, adding that they expect his main responsibility to be acting as a liaison with officials in Macau and Beijing.

伯恩斯坦研究公司(Bernstein Research)分析師指出，王英偉與中國政府的“密切關係”是他獲此任命的關鍵因素。這些分析師還表示，他們認爲他的主要職責是充當金沙中國與澳門及中央政府官員之間的聯絡人。
