v3 Chapter 1342： Disney and DFS

Chapter 1341 Disney and DFS (second more)

In the “tour” area, Xia Yu asked the think tank to make a survey report, and made a detailed statistics of the scenic spots in Xiangjiang that are attractive to local and overseas tourists.

Statistics show that the three most well-known scenic spots in Hong Kong today are Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Ocean Park and Victoria Harbour.

The top of Victoria Peak is an old attraction. Victoria Peak Cable Car has been in operation since 1888, and there has been no accident in the past 100 years.

The top of the Victoria Peak is also the highest place in the Xiangjiang River. Standing on the top of the Victoria Peak, condescending and blowing the sea breeze, you can have a panoramic view of the Xiangjiang River.

And Xiangjiang Ocean Park, it has been more than seven years since it opened in 1977.

At present, it is not only the most popular theme park in Hong Kong, but also the most popular theme park in Southeast Asia. It has many honors such as "the largest entertainment and leisure park in Southeast Asia" and "one of the largest aquariums in the world". Not a small name.

And Victoria Harbour, not to mention, named after the Queen of England, Victoria Harbour is also the largest seaport in Asia and the third largest in the world. The night view of Victoria Harbour is gorgeous and colorful.

Especially since the Hong Kong Tourism Investment Group created the "Symphony of Lights", it has added a touch of color to Victoria Harbour.

These three places have actually been able to attract a large number of tourists to Xiangjiang.

But these three major attractions are not enough.

In the second level, there are currently Wong Tai Sin Temple which is attractive to Southeast Asian tourists and mainland tourists, as well as Causeway Bay and Lan Kwai Fong, which are now gradually famous in Southeast Asia because of movies and TV dramas.

Besides, there seems to be no obvious attraction, such as Victoria Park. It is just a bit famous in the local area of ​​Xiangjiang, and there is not much characteristic.

After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu couldn't help shaking his head. These scenic spots were not attractive in a compound manner. It was too difficult to stand up the card of Xiangjiang "you"!

So he still needs him to accelerate Xiangjiang and build a foundation.

Recalling a series of well-known attractions in Xiangjiang in his previous life, Xia Yu selected two, namely Avenue of Stars and Hong Kong Disneyland.

The Avenue of Stars is a scenic spot in Victoria Harbor, imitating the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the ground is inlaid with plaques of movie celebrities, there are handprints of celebrities, and there are also bronze statues of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee.

It’s just that the former Xiangjiang Avenue of Fame was not perfect. The grade is far from that of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not only is there a relatively small number of celebrities, but the pattern is not big enough, and most of them are movie celebrities.

And Hollywood’s Walk of Fame is enlarged to the entire entertainment industry. More than 2500 “stars” represent the eternal commemoration of those who have made outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry, recording actors, musicians, directors, producers, music bands, and dramas. Names of groups, avatars, and other people.

Of course, after analysis, Xia Yu also came to the reason why the popularity of the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars was not large enough. The key is that the Hong Kong entertainment industry gradually declined after the 1980s and lost the name of Oriental Hollywood.

But this life is different. With his Jiuding Cultural Media Group, Xiangjiang’s housing prices have been suppressed, coupled with his and his group’s influence on Southeast Asia in many respects, Xiangjiang’s entertainment industry will only become more and more prosperous. Live up to the reputation of Oriental Hollywood.

So make a good plan, Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars can definitely be built successfully, at least ten times the popularity of the previous life is not a problem.

Xia Yu has this confidence!

Then there is Hong Kong Disneyland, at this time there is no hair.

The Disneyland in the island nation only opened last year.

Now there are only three Disney parks in the world, namely California Disneyland, Orlando Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.

According to the trajectory, if it is normal, Hong Kong Disneyland will only open in 2005, which is the fifth in the world!

This is definitely not good!

The most important thing about the Disneyland brand is that it is very attractive to Europeans and Americans. If the mainland does not understand Disney culture, if there is a Disneyland in Hong Kong, it is definitely a great tool to attract European and American tourists to enter!

With the support of his huge media empire, he will have the highest probability of success and the lowest probability of losing money to make Hong Kong Disneyland!

It’s just that Disney is not willing to build another Disneyland in Hong Kong. After all, Tokyo Disneyland in East Asia has just opened. Building a Disneyland in Hong Kong will definitely be detrimental to Tokyo Disneyland.

The management of American Disney Company is certainly not stupid.

Then you can only use extraordinary means.

Bright Fund originally held a portion of the shares of Disney in the United States. In addition, it seems that Disney is currently in a low period, just in time for Polaris Capital to acquire it, and the problem of building Hong Kong Disneyland will be solved.

At the same time, it will also strengthen Polaris Capital's dominance over Hollywood!

After setting these two goals, the strength of Xiangjiang's "tour" can be improved.

The last "purchase" is left.

Later Xiangjiang is a world-famous "shopping paradise", but its current popularity is far less than that of future generations.

The sign of "Shopping Paradise" has not been completely erected.

In fact, when Xiangjiang is building a tourism industry, the "buy" is the best way to build it. After all, Xiangjiang is a free port, and there is zero tariff for goods entering Xiangjiang!

For other countries, a small number of commodities are also tax-free when they enter the customs. Therefore, shopping in Xiangjiang is enough to enjoy the two-way tax exemption. If the tax is exempted, the price will drop by a big margin!

Especially for high-tariff products such as beauty and perfume, watches and jewelry, fashion and accessories, alcohol and tobacco, the two-way tax exemption can even achieve several times the amount of goods for the previous day's money!

This is the biggest advantage of Xiangjiang as a free port!

It’s just that Xiangjiang wakes up late, and because of political reasons, the development of Xiangjiang has been seriously delayed, so that when it wants to catch up, it is already too late.

In the future generations of the tax-free market with a scale of 100 billion U.S. dollars, Asia occupies more than half, reaching up to 50 billion U.S. dollars.

South Korea alone accounts for more than 40% of the 50 billion US dollars!

Even in the global market, it is as high as more than 20%, ranking first in the world, higher than the United Kingdom!

As for South Korea’s duty-free market, nearly 80% of the annual contribution is contributed by foreign consumers. Among these 80%, more than half are contributed by Chinese people...

Ming Ming Xiangjiang occupies the land and people after 1997, but because it did not occupy the time before 1997, it lags behind step by step.

Fatty water has flowed into outsiders' fields.

But now, while South Korea has not yet deployed, Star City, Kuala Lumpur and the island countries have not paid attention to it. HeungKong has set up the banner in advance to gather capital and global well-known brands. Then other countries have no way to catch up.

To do this, Xia Yu must have a duty-free shop brand in his hands!

License is not a problem, how many he wants is a matter of one sentence.

The product is not a problem either.

He has the French LVHM Group, so there are perfumes, cosmetics, high-end leather goods, red wine and white wine.

He also has the Eternal Jewelry Company, so there are also goods such as jewelry.

He also has Jiuding Electric Group and Tiangong Electronics Group, as well as products such as electrical appliances and electronic products.

As for watches, cigarettes, pastries, gifts, food, etc., he does not have them, but other partners of the Southeast Asian consortium do.

Combined with these things, opening a store is a success.

After thinking and thinking, the key is to have a mature team and management system. Acquisition is the fastest way and can be effective in the first time.

After some investigation, the largest duty-free shop in Hong Kong is currently DFS, which was founded by American Charles Fini and Robert Miller in 1961.

As for other companies, they are far from DFS.

Of course, because DFS has been established for a short time, although they have a mature management system and team , their strength is not strong, and their ability to integrate products is not enough. At the same time, they are also affected by the current development of Xiangjiang. Restrictions, so that DFS has not yet broken out.

is just right for him to acquire.

Not much to say, Xia Yu directly decided to let Jiuding Retail Group acquire DFS, and then the family office came forward to integrate the resources of the entire consortium, allowing DFS to take off and carry the banner of Xiangjiang’s duty-free retail industry.

In this way, the shortcomings of Xiangjiang's tourism and entertainment industry have also been filled.

After sorting out these ideas, Xia Yu gave them all to the family office for processing.

He was finally able to relax again.

As the family office continued to issue orders, and one proposal after another was passed to Su Xingjian, the work pressure on various departments of the Hong Kong government, especially the Legislative Council, increased sharply.

However, Liang Dingbang knew that this was what the big boss meant. He gritted his teeth and gathered the legislative council's hands to push forward the legislative work of various bills...
