American Fortune Life

"The benefits of the theme park business are especially reflected in the way we conduct theme park business and the stage of our life cycle. This is similar to the‘ you build it, and your customers will come ’business.”

In the office, ceo Stephen Burke of nbc Global attaches great importance to the construction of the theme park. This is also because he took over the super project of the Tianchao Beijing theme park. This is his opportunity and a difficult task that he has to face.

"If we continue to build theme parks in Florida, California, Foot Basin, Beijing and other potential countries in the world, we can have significant double-digit growth for many years in a row. This year the theme park's operating cash flow is expected to reach $ 1.5 billion . "

"I thought about it when I insisted on buying a foot basin theme park. In the future, maybe the theme park will become the most popular part of nbc." Andy nodded indifferently.

"Because the theme park is the best output form of nbc global intellectual property, especially those super heroes of Marvel Group, it can form a perfect complement to other departments of the company."

Andy continued: "In all of the company's businesses, I have carefully considered the next 10 or 20 years, and what we know best now is how to maintain rapid growth over a long period of time.

Therefore, during this heavenly trip, regarding the Beijing theme park, nbc Universal must hold 40-50% of the theme park. "Andy's eyes are deep, and the corners of his mouth are raised slightly:" tens of thousands "of people will participate in the construction of this project. This is a super project to solve the employment problem. Even after completion, it can solve 5,000 to 6,000 jobs. I believe The heavens will make some compromises. "

Of course, Andy also knows some issues that Universal Studios needs to face in the future as it builds a new theme park, how to distribute character images to different theme parks, and how to attract tourists to include a large future hotel complex and the latest properties A huge park.

In addition, Universal Studios has not yet purchased land, which requires cooperation with local governments to solve logistics and transportation issues. The problem is, however, if Universal Studios can introduce fans to their favorite characters in theme parks, the revenue from future passenger traffic will definitely be considerable.

Disney and Universal Studios dominate the theme park industry. From the world's latest top 25 theme park visitors, Disney and Universal Studios or authorized theme parks completely dominate the top10 tourist rankings.

After the completion of Universal Studios Beijing, it will become the largest American theme park in Beijing, just like Disney to Magic City.

This is an important task for adjusting the industrial structure and vigorously developing the modern service industry as the current development. Beijing, which is a strategic pillar industry actively cultivated by the cultural tourism industry, undoubtedly hopes to carry out in-depth cooperation with nbc Global Group in this regard to achieve Win-win development.

After Andy and Stephen Burke discussed the theme park project again, half an hour was almost approaching. Before Stephen Burke left, he suddenly remembered something and reported to Andy Meeting: Boss, Universal Studios reported this morning that the mj rehearsed a live concert in London, which is currently the object of major Hollywood film studios. The bid price has risen to more than 40 million US dollars, so I asked the headquarters Whether to continue bidding. "

"Oh?" Andy frowned slightly. Although he had watched the documentary "That's It" in the previous life, he didn't know if the documentary made money. It was just taking advantage of mj's death and selling his feelings.

"Meg ’s London concert promotion agent, Aeg Entertainment, this time took out all the rehearsal videos of Jackson ’s Staples Center a few days before his sudden death. A total of 80 hours of video were only available to the public in just a few minutes Already.

The Los Angeles-based performance company hopes to save some of its losses. The company previously invested up to $ 30 million for mj London's farewell show. Mj's sudden death not only made the London tour "farewell farewell", but also made Aeg's initial investment into a bubble. Therefore, aeg hopes to be able to release this documentary in order to recover some losses.

And in order to gain more benefits, aeg entertainment company also plans to split the final rehearsal segment to sell to major US television networks to produce TV albums.

At present, a $ 50 million Sony is most likely to win. This is because Sony Music Entertainment originally holds the distribution rights for most Jackson albums and singles, and will easily prevent other bidding peers from using Jackson's songs. When Stephen Burke saw his boss's inclination, he explained in detail the many issues involved.

"It ’s true that the problem of music copyright is a big problem. So, if you can tell me, if you can reach an agreement with Sony, you can buy it at a high price. As for the rehearsal segmentation, the nbc TV station will actively fight for TV album broadcast authorization. , The speed must be fast, when the heat is rising, the ratings can be guaranteed. "Andy said after a moment of thought.

"Okay, boss, I understand what to do." Stephen Burke nodded and then said goodbye to Andy before turning around and leaving the office.

Andy, sitting back on the boss chair, shook his head and sighed with emotion. In the commercial society, the interests always come first. This can also be regarded as squeezing the final residual value of mj.

"... From a technical perspective, we believe that the U.S. economy will hit its bottom in June and July, and in the third quarter, driven by a rebound in demand for durable consumer goods, corporate inventory will be strong and the economy will show a clear bottom. The rebound situation. However, as consumption and credit in the euro area are still contracting, the overall economic recovery in the third quarter will be fragile, and the pace of recovery is expected to be slower than in the United States. "

In a video conference screen on a computer monitor, the financial team in London is reporting to Andy their analysis conclusions. Andy agrees with this analysis conclusion after all, and is very satisfied with the work of the London branch.

Do not put eggs in a basket, this is a thing that smart investors are very aware of, and Andy naturally will not be confused, so when he established the European branch, he also divided the think tank Some were sent to Europe. Since then, the two companies in the US and Europe have affiliations, but they are relatively independent. Andy can also compare and analyze the data analysis conclusions given by the two companies to prove that he can be better. Mastery.

Of course, it does not rule out that Andy wants the two sides to check and balance each other. After all, at any time, a family dominance will damage his owner's interests.

"The European Central Bank announces that interest rates will continue to remain at an all-time low of 1% ... The European Central Bank has started to implement its established bond purchase plan with a total size of not more than 60 billion euros ..."

Pieces of financial information that are happening in Europe and are about to happen are summarized and reported. Andy, the controller, combs and updates all the data and information about European finance in his mind. There is no way. Since you want to make money, then I can only use my brain.

"Iceland's debt crisis has raised concerns about the sovereign debt of some countries. At present, the debt crisis in dibai is the most prominent and may collapse, which also means that the desert myth of dibai will be shattered."

Hearing here, Andy's eyes flickered sharply, and his gaze glared, "Can we benefit from it?"

"In addition to the largest local commercial bank, their other creditors include HSBC, Credit Suisse, Barclays, Rice, and Royal Bank of Scotland. If the debt repayment is delayed, the European stock market will inevitably suffer. However, Dibai ’s debt crisis will not trigger a new global economic crisis. After all, their debt crisis is not due to problems with financial derivatives. They have their own real economy and resource support, and Dibai ’s influence is not as good as Wall Street ’s. .

Of course, there will be temporary turbulence in the world's financial markets. After all, global linkages are now very close, and problems in any link will have a joint impact. "

After hearing his analysis, Andy could not help but shake his head and laughed. If the myth of the desert of di worship is really shattered, the most unlucky will be those Hollywood stars who invested in di worship, such as Brad Pitt, Beckham and other big Stars are no less buying houses in Dibai.

"That's up to you. By the way, you also have to share information with the United States. For a short-term operation, it is also good to earn pocket money!"

Andy said with a smile, but his "make some pocket money" still made everyone in the video conference cry and laugh, and his heart secretly groaned. The number of pocket money of his boss is really tearful.
