American Fortune Life
Chapter 1788: The Data is King
The data is king!
Data is king, not just the data itself, but also how to penetrate it so that it can speak and embody value in the application, and how to map it to the business itself through all kinds of channels, combining the needs of the customer and producing application effects beyond the imagination of the data producer, which is the appeal of data and the appeal of endless possibilities for decision making after data analysis.
Sam Gangyi is undoubtedly a staunch supporter of data as a king, and Andy is convinced that data will be a vital resource, both now and in the future, and he is willing to believe that data can be analysed to draw conclusions, provided they are reliable.
The raw data is correct in order to make the right analysis, make the right judgement and put in place the right measures. Operators of leisure business facilities should start with detailed and accurate data and not trust their instincts.
Conversely, if the data are inaccurate, the forecasts are inaccurate, followed by business management confusion, and no cause can be identified.
Of course, Andy, as a big BOSS with dozens of companies, naturally has his own set of management company insights. While data is important, it is by no means the only thing that matters. Budgets and plans made as a result of the data are actually in operation. While budgets and plans sit before operations are implemented, they need to be constantly checked and checked to know what's wrong when operations are underway. Find out if the budget and plan are wrong or if there are operational implementation problems in order to adjust the strategy in a timely manner.
The success of the strategy, besides having a good general and an executive team, two years of management experience told Andy that the problem was happening on the ground, not in a conference room, so he attached great importance to the advice and judgment of front-line employees, which is why he would make his email address public within all of his companies so that every employee could contact him directly.
He has always been following the right data, precise predictions, good leadership, efficient team operations, which is also the key to his Andy Smith wealth myth, seeing the eyes of the future may make him rich, but not necessarily!
“ We're going to make a big reorientation, and our target audience was a 20-year-old, exciting young guest, but Disney or any other successful theme park is focused on 30-year-old families, especially families with 30-year-old couples and primary school kids.
To do this, we're going to focus on introducing some of the cartoon characters that kids love very much, such as the American Iron Man, the Hulk, and the X-Men, which we hope will be supported by your boss. ”
“No problem, I will ask Marvel Group to authorize Universal Studios Osaka and the surrounding sales rights.” Andy naturally wouldn't disagree, which is a good thing, and while both companies are their own, the commercial deals that arise between them not only allow resources to be recycled, but also add new profit growth points, why not?
Though directly interrupted by the boss, Sen Gangyi was very happy, making decisions in the field, never dragging mud and water, giving him an unspeakable sense of comfort and importance as an innovator.
“ The local cartoon figure image is the focus of my development this time. The pirate king and the fire shadow ninja are very popular comics. I want to develop a special scene theme park for the pirate king against the Caribbean pirate park in Disney, while building a panoramic theme park for the fire shadow ninja, building a one-to-one ratio of panoramic wooden leaf villages to attract all local fans.
Combined with the influence of foot basin animation radiation throughout Asia and the world, I am confident that in the future, these two themed parks will definitely become the most desirable for international fans. ”
Dude, ambitious enough...
Andy nodded with a slight smile and was pleased with Sam Gangyi's courage, but the others in the conference room were a little unsettled, and for the first time started talking in a small voice. There would undoubtedly be a lot of disagreement over the re-establishment of the two parks, as it would require money and would involve a huge financial investment.
Because after Spider-Man's appearance in 2003 alone, Osaka Universal Studios did not invest any more on a large scale, originally investing 5 billion yen a year in an investment plan that would have cost more than 20 billion in a small spider project, and would no longer be able to invest.
Combined with years of losses, investing in two large theme parks, even in existing ones, will require a lot of money. In the unlikely event that the land is insufficient and the park land is expanded, the funds required are simply not affordable at Osaka Universal Studios.
Looking at his colleagues, Mori Gangyi was very clear about what they were focusing on. To be honest, at first, he hoped to be able to take the Harry Potter Panoramic Theme Park project from the big boss, but when he saw the news report, the big boss decided to build a new Universal Studios in Heavenly Dynasty and would focus on the Harry Potter world, he knew that the future of Universal Studios Osaka would have one of its biggest rivals.
Opponent!
There is no mistake in competing for customers! In this way, he had to prepare well in advance, which left him somewhat uniquely interested in the world of Harry Potter, as was the case in the theme park, and instead of spending the money to create a special Harry Potter scenario that was destined to be compared to the future, it would be better to build a completely unique theme.
Sen Gangyi had long thought that the theme of Marvel was definitely a major trick in the American Universal Studios, and Harry Potter would become the star of the Heavenly Dynasty, so Osaka could only play local IP. At the same time, he also remembered a series of classic IPs of the famous gaming company under the big boss. You know, whether it's Angry Birds or Plant Wars Zombies, it's world-class IP. This time the big boss came to Osaka, he had to grab the IP before the other three in any case.
Osaka Universal Studios may not have had such an opportunity before, but it is certainly not a big problem now, after all, Osaka is completely NBC Universal.
“That's a good idea. I can lend $100 million to the company in a private capacity if there's a problem with the funds.” Andy also knows how hard it is for a smart woman to cook without rice. Since she has bought back the theme park, Andy doesn't want to see it half-dead in her own hands, the main thing when she makes money for herself, and of course, he won't do things that want both horses to run and horses not to eat grass.
But you can't just smash money like you used to. After all, this is a subsidiary of NBC Worldwide, with headquarters funds, and the other two theme parks will ask for money, so it's also a smuggling loan, not only to avoid taxes for him and the company, but also to get enough revenue, which is a good thing for an arrow double carving.
Especially since his Asian investment team has been using the financial crisis for over a year to help him make a lot of money in the foot basin, all of which will surely shock the foot basin government. Of course, not shocked, Andy doesn't care. However, investing in the foot basin is one of his planned plans, so it is necessary to maintain a good image, even though his reputation is long gone.
“ One was based on a young people's questionnaire, and we learned that people wanted more interesting activities, so I thought about it for a long time, and decided to start planning a supermassive Halloween night event this year, forming our signature event, which, of course, is not the level of staying in a haunted house, but rather making the entire Osaka Universal Studios a "night of horror” to scare everyone around the place! ”
Sen Gangyi finally came up with his true assassin plot, which was also a wonderful plot that Andy very much endorsed, in the foot pot where the culture of terror prevailed, believing that such a night of terror would definitely attract the whole foot pot and even the global horror fans to come here.
