American Fortune Life
Chapter 1885: Making Some Coin Money
“The benefits of the Theme Park business are particularly evident in the way we conduct our Theme Park business and the stage of our life cycle. This is similar to the 'you build it, the Guest will come' business. ”
Stephen Burke, CEO of NBC Worldwide at the office, attaches particular importance to the construction of the theme park, also because he took over the super project of Tianzhao Jingcheng theme park, which is his opportunity and a daunting task.
“If we continue to build theme parks in Florida, California, Foot Basin, Beijing and other potential countries around the world, we can have significant double-digit growth over the years. This year's operating cash flow for theme parks is expected to reach $1.5 billion. ”
“When I insisted on acquiring Football Theme Park, I thought about it, and in the future, maybe Theme Park will be one of the most popular parts of NBC Worldwide.” Andy nodded slightly.
“Because theme parks are the best form of output for NBC Global Intellectual Property, especially those superheroes from Marvel Group, and they can perfectly complement the rest of the company. ”
Andy goes on to say, "In all of my business, I've carefully considered the next 10 or 20 years, and what we know best now is how to sustain rapid growth over the long term.
So, on this trip to Heaven Dynasty, NBC Worldwide must hold 40-50 percent stake in the theme park. “Andy looked deeply and raised his mouth slightly:" Tens of thousands "of people will be involved in the construction of this project, which is a super project to solve employment, that is, when it is built, it can solve between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs, and I am confident that there will be some compromise on the part of heaven and dynasty. “
Of course, Andy also knows some of the problems that Universal Studios will have to face in the future to build a new theme park, how to assign character image IP to different theme parks, and how to attract visitors to a huge park that includes a large future hotel complex and the latest properties.
In addition, Universal Studios has not yet purchased land, which requires working with local governments to address logistics transport issues. The problem is, however, that if Universal Studios is able to introduce fans to their favorite characters in theme parks, the benefits of future guest traffic will definitely be considerable.
The dominance of Disney and Universal Studios in the theme park industry is unshakeable. From the world's newest top 25 theme park visitors, Disney and Universal Studios' or licensed theme parks completely dominate the TOP10 tourist rankings.
When completed, the Universal Studios will become the largest American theme park in the city, just like Disneyland.
This is undoubtedly more desirable for deep cooperation and win-win development with NBC Global Group in adjusting the industrial structure, vigorously developing the modern services industry as an important task of current development and actively cultivating the strategic pillars of the cultural tourism industry in Beijing.
After Andy and Stephen Burke had another discussion of the theme park project, the half-hour was almost up, and before Stephen Burke left, he suddenly remembered something, reporting to Andy Hui: "Boss, the footage of MJ rehearsing for the London concert this morning, which is currently the subject of bidding for major Hollywood cinemas. The competitive price had risen to over $40 million, and it was therefore asked whether Headquarters would continue to bid. ”
“Oh?” Andy frowned slightly. Although he had seen the documentary "That's It" in his previous life, he didn't know if the documentary made any money, but rather sold it in the heat of MJ's death.
“AEG Entertainment, the propaganda agency for the MJ London concert, this time took out a full rehearsal tape of Jackson a few days before his sudden death at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with only a few minutes of 80 hours of footage available to the public.
This Los Angeles performing company hopes to save some of its losses by investing up to $30 million in the early stages of MJ London's farewell performance. The sudden death of MJ not only “farewell in advance” the tour of London, but also shadowed AEG's forward investment. As a result, AEG hopes to be able to release the documentary as a way to recover some of the losses.
And for more benefit, AEG Entertainment is also planning to split the final rehearsal clips for sale to major television networks in the United States to produce television albums.
Sony, which currently bids $50 million, is most likely to win because Sony Music and Entertainment already has the right to distribute most Jackson albums and singles, which will easily prevent other bidders from using Jackson's songs. ”Stephen Burke saw some moves from his boss, so he explained in detail the many issues involved.
“Indeed, the issue of music copyright is a big problem, so let me tell you, if you can reach an agreement with Sony, you can buy it at a high price. As for the split rehearsal clips, let NBC TV actively seek the broadcast authorization of the TV album, so that the viewership rate can be guaranteed when the heat rises.” Andy pondered for a moment and said.
“Okay, boss, I know what to do.” Stephen Burke nodded and then turned around and walked out of the office after Andy had said goodbye.
Andy sitting back in the boss chair was shaking his head, and the business community, always in the best interest, was squeezing MJ's final residual value.
“ From a technical point of view, the U.S. economy will touch its bottom in June and July, and the third quarter will see a sharp rebound in touchdown driven by a rebound in demand for durable consumer goods. However, as eurozone consumption and credit remain contracting, the overall economic recovery in the third quarter will remain fragile and is expected to slow down compared to the United States. ”
In the video conferencing footage on the computer monitor, the London finance team is reporting to Andy on their analytical findings. Andy, after all, agrees with this analysis and is very satisfied with the work of the London Branch.
Without putting the eggs in a basket, which is very clear to smart investors, and certainly not to Andy, so when he founded the European division, he split up a think-tank and sent it to Europe. Since then, the two companies in America and Europe have affiliations, but they are relatively independent LI, and Andy can compare the data analysis findings from both companies to support it so that he can better grasp the situation.
Of course, it does not rule out Andy's desire for checks and balances between the two sides, after all, at any time, a single family would compromise his interests as a master.
“The European Central Bank has announced that interest rates continue to remain at an all-time low of 1 per cent... The European Central Bank has embarked on an established bond purchase scheme of a total size not exceeding €60 billion... ”
One piece of financial information that is happening and about to happen in Europe is being reported together, and Andy, the controller, is sorting out all the data and information in his mind about European finance, and he can't help it. If he's going to make money, he's going to have to think about it.
“Iceland's debt crisis has raised international concerns about the sovereign debt of some countries, and the current debt crisis in DI Bai is the most prominent and likely to collapse, implying that the myth of DI Bai's desert will be broken. ”
When he heard this, Andy's eyes lit up and his eyes burned, “Can we benefit from it? ”
“In addition to the largest commercial banks in the country, their major creditors include HSBC, Ruixin, Barclays, Rice and Royal Bank of Scotland, among others. If Dibai were to incur a debt moratorium, European equity markets would certainly suffer a severe setback, but the debt crisis in DIbai would not trigger a new global economic crisis. After all, their debt crisis was not due to problems with financial derivatives, they themselves had real economic and resource support, and DIbai had less influence than Wall Street.
Of course, there will be a temporary turmoil in world financial markets. After all, global linkages are now very close, and there will be collateral effects for any problems at any given point. ”
Andy couldn't help but laugh when he heard his men's analysis, and if the desert myth of DI Bay really broke, the worst of all would be those Hollywood stars who invested in DI Bay, such as Brad Pete and Beckham, who bought a lot of real estate in DI Bay.
“Then I'll leave this to you. By the way, it's also good to share information with the United States side, do a short line operation, and make some money! ”
Andy said with a smile, but his' make some money 'still makes the people attending the video conference cry, and his heart is spitting in the dark, and his boss's money is really tearless.
