Logically speaking, Xiao Xu is the person who least has to worry about whether Disneyland will choose Chengdu, but he is very busy during this period due to matters related to Disneyland.
The reason is very simple. Xiao Qi avoids those who want to win favors, but Xiao Xu is a government official, how can he avoid them?
But no matter how honest Xiao Xu is, it is impossible for him to agree with others on this matter.
There are only four plans for Disneyland in China, and apart from Chengdu, there are only three remaining.
There are so many first-tier and second-tier cities in China, where can we find enough?
So no matter who came to ask him for help in a roundabout way, Xiao Xu would never say anything.
He couldn't force it anymore, so he could only say, "This is Xiao Qi's decision, and I can't interfere."
In fact, this is also the case. Xiao Xu will never interfere with Xiao Qi's business, and this time, Xiao Qi did not ask him for advice on the Disneyland matter.
However, after all, there are still unavoidable favors. As each one's background becomes bigger and bigger, and the relationship becomes closer and closer to Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu can only call Xiao Qi over.
It's not that Xiao Xu is going to give Xiao Qi some advice, but he wants to ask his son whether he has made a decision. If he has a plan, he should announce it quickly to avoid making those people think too much.
Listening to his father's inquiry, Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile, "They are really impatient. They dare to build Disneyland even if they have some confidence, without considering whether they can afford it."
"Isn't Disneyland a great boost to the economy and tourism?" Xiao Xu asked, "There are many people who go to Hong Kong Disneyland. The mainland has such a large population and such convenient transportation, can't it still support Disneyland?"
"You are right to say that." Xiao Qi nodded, "Except for the remote northwest region, which is not suitable for building a Disneyland, the rest of the places are pretty good. The reason is that China has a population of 1.5 billion."
"Haha, yes," Xiao Xu said with a smile, "the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River. The land of the Xiang River and the north of Hunan. Eastern Guangdong is open to trade from all over the world. The east leads the national financial trend, and the capital is the capital of the country. Even the Fengtian Liancheng Ice City in the northeast
, all have their own characteristics and large populations, which are completely suitable for Disneyland to be located there."
Xiao Xu knew the situation across the country very clearly.
The Jiangnan area generally refers to the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has been the most prosperous area in China since the Song Dynasty. For one thing, the East, which has infinite scenery today, is actually a piece of land in the south of the Yangtze River.
This is also the only area that can compete with super first-class cities like Dongfang. Even if Dongfang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang each open one, there is no problem at all, because they have such a large consumer population and spending power.
This is different from places like Jinwei Shizhuang in the capital. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area can only accommodate one Disneyland.
Needless to say, eastern Guangdong is the center of exchanges between Southeast Asia and China, and has always been an important overseas trade center for China. Therefore, a Disneyland would be very suitable, even if it is closer to Hong Kong Disneyland. The influence of each other is not great.
.
In fact, Xiao Qi is wondering whether to cancel the Hong Kong Disney project because it has been losing money. The geographical and labor advantages cannot be reflected at all.
Of course, the country will not agree with what Xiao Qi did. After all, Hong Kong people are very good at policy, and the country has to take their face into consideration.
Of course, Xiangshui and Xiangbei are a bit worse here. Although they have a large population and are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are a bit close to Chengdu and there will be some conflicts between them.
According to Xiao Xu's idea, China's four Disney parks should be opened in Dongfang Yuezhou, the capital of Chengdu.
If there is no way to open it in Guangdong due to Hong Kong, then Disneyland should be opened in one of the three cities in the heart of the Central Plains, Wuhan Changsha or Nanchang.
Since it was his father who asked, Xiao Qi also talked about his plans: "Dongfang, the capital of Chengdu, is definitely the first choice. In fact, I prefer Disneyland to be in Lin'an. This can further distance us, but Dongfang is already there.
After so many years of negotiations, and its financial and political status being so high, it is unnecessary to offend them for no reason.
The same is true for the capital, so they and Dongfang are full of confidence. But what I really want to choose is Fengtian. This can not only take into account the three northeastern provinces, but Fengtian is not far from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and can also reduce the burden on the capital.
How great would it be to be burdened with various resources? Hasn’t the government always said that it would reduce the burden on cities? In the end, there are still good things happening, regardless of how much pressure it will add to resource supply.”
Xiao Xu nodded slightly.
The capital's biggest dilemma is their lack of water resources.
A huge city with more than 20 million people uses a daily amount of water resources. The so-called South-to-North Water Diversion Project is actually for the capital city.
If you add Disneyland, which consumes a lot of resources, especially water, the water consumption in the capital can simply be described as terrifying.
But this is just like Xiao Qi said, it's not good for others to interrupt, otherwise they will make you unhappy.
"I have seriously thought about the fourth city. Guangdong is definitely not possible. It is only a two- or three-hour drive from Guangdong to Hong Kong. If there is a Disneyland in Guangdong, then the Disneyland in Hong Kong will be fine if it does not close down."
Xiao Qi continued: "Hong Kong's economy is crying out for poverty. If you continue to do this, I don't know how many harsh words will come out... Of course, Hong Kong people will not admit it even to death. Mainland tourists have brought it to them."
How much income is there, but if they really want to touch this area, they will make a fuss. Since the previous leader promised that they would not change for 50 years, there is no need to argue with them."
"You are right, you must have an overall view." Xiao Xu said seriously, "Although business is important, the stability and unity of a country are far more important than the economy."
Xiao Xu is a relatively old-school figure with his own persistence. This is what Niu Ruzheng, Yu Chengsheng, Wen Anping and others admire most about him. Even if such an official is given a higher position, he will only do his best.
Work instead of thinking about how to benefit yourself.
"Lin'an is too close to the east. If they were only 500 kilometers apart, I would dare to put Disneyland in Lin'an. But the distance between them is only more than 200 kilometers, and there is a direct train that can reach it, which is almost 2
An hour's drive away, arranging two Disney parks in such a close place is simply a waste." Xiao Qi sighed, "So for Dongfang's sake, we had to give up in Lin'an."
"Haha, Governor Zhan Zhao said the same thing. He was very sorry." Xiao Xu responded with a smile.
Before Zhang Zhanzhao came to Sichuan, he had been a high-ranking official in Jiangnan Province. He must have been willing to build connections for his previous post, but considering that such an important place in the East also has a Disneyland, their Jiangnan series
There is nothing humans can do.
In China, there is no place that can completely overwhelm the East, not even the capital and Guangdong.
In the past hundred years, the East has become one of the most important symbols of China.
"Look at the layout of the three Disney parks. One is in the north, the other is in Dongfang, an important town in East China, and the other is in the southwest. And there is Hong Kong Disneyland in the south, so the remaining one must be a little south of the center."
Xiao Qi said, "I studied the map and geographical situation, and I think Xiangshui Changsha is the best."
It was indeed one of the cities I had guessed.
Xiao Xu nodded and said, "The advantages of Changsha are also obvious. Not only is it connected in all directions, but it has also developed well in recent years. However, the economic aggregate of Xiangshui is a bit behind, and the per capita affluence is not high."
"There are many shortcomings of Changsha, but their advantages are also very obvious." Xiao Qidao, "On top of Changsha is Dongting Lake, and next to it is the Xiangjiang River. The water areas are very developed. In addition, Xiangshui Satellite TV's focus on entertainment projects
It has strong control capabilities and can help run Disneyland very well, so I think it is better than Chengdu."
"You can't belittle us in Chengdu too much." Xiao Xu pointed his finger in the air, "Rongcheng has even greater advantages. At least we are the center of the three surrounding provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. In the future, when the high-speed rails are opened one by one, people from all over the world will come to Chengdu.
There will definitely be more and more tourists traveling, and we will definitely not lose money.”
"Whether it's a loss or not is another matter." Xiao Qidao said, "This time for the four Disney parks in the mainland, I deliberately added some mythological elements of our country into them. Don't let foreign cartoons occupy the children.
world, our fairy tales are not bad either.”
"right"
Xiao Xu was very satisfied with this.
Disneyland is good, but the culture it carries is not our own. If we can keep our own myths and legends alive, that will be a victory for a country's culture.
What he didn't know was that Xiao Qi's plan for the four Disney parks in the mainland was not just as simple as adding some elements of Chinese mythology. He even prepared that at least one-third of the projects would be related to Chinese mythology.
During the continuous expansion, investment will be further increased.
Anyway, Disney belongs to Xiao Qi alone, and only the Disney parks in mainland China do this. Even if there are some places in it that are not in line with European and American fairy tales, it has nothing to do with others.
This is the benefit of privatization.
If the holding pattern is adopted again, there may be many more restrictions.
How good it is now that the boss can make the decision alone. To be continued.
