Once upon a time, Hong Kong Disneyland was a symbol of Hong Kong and the pride of the entire Chinese community.
Because one of Disney's five theme parks is in Hong Kong. When people from all over the world come to Hong Kong, they may not necessarily go to Ocean Park, but most of them will go to Disneyland.
Therefore, even if Disneyland has not made money for the Hong Kong government as an investor for so many years, and has even suffered losses for consecutive years, it has not changed the Hong Kong government's determination to persist in operations.
Of course, if calculated according to the history of previous lives, their hard days are numbered. By the end of 2013, Disneyland will have its first annual profit since its opening, and then it will enter a healthy period of making money.
cycle.
I have to say that Oriental Disney also contributed to this. If the negotiations between Oriental City and Disney had not repeatedly collapsed, Hong Kong Disney's good days would not have been so easy.
An Oriental Disney that is thousands of miles away can threaten Hong Kong Disney, let alone this life. It is said that a Disneyland will be built in Guangdong or Nanwan. That is simply a competition with Hong Kong Disney.
.
The biggest flaw of Hong Kong Disneyland is that its area is only 126 hectares, or 19 acres. This pocket-sized version of Disneyland makes it difficult for everyone to have fun. Even Hong Kong locals have to go to Japan Disneyland.
Not to mention other qualified rich people.
Usually those who come to Hong Kong Disney are only middle class people who don’t spend much, or are simply young people who live frugally, so this is the most important reason why Hong Kong Disney has not made money over the years.
Another reason is that the local population in Hong Kong is too small. It is very troublesome for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong. The surrounding commercial facilities are very expensive compared with those in the mainland, so they cannot support Hong Kong Disney's too much operating income.
If Disney is placed in the densely populated Guangdong and Nanwan, it will be much more convenient for mainland tourists, and at least 5% of the number of mainland Disney tourists going to Hong Kong will be reduced.
This is a devastating blow to Hong Kong Disney!
Xiao Qi didn't care. If Hong Kong Disneyland didn't make money, then it would be closed down. This market wasn't important to Xiao Qi anyway.
But the problem is that Hong Kong people care. They regard Disneyland as a symbol of Hong Kong. If Xiao Qi opened Disneyland in the mainland but demolished the one in Hong Kong, what do you mean?
However, when they went to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi didn't answer directly at all. Anyway, he just said "it's under consideration", "I don't know the specific situation", "we will choose the best and won't consider others"... and other words in his words.
Beyond that, he just doesn't agree with what Hong Kong wants, and he won't care what Hong Kong people want him to do.
I've given you face twice, and you're still pestering me. Do you really think you have so much face?
Hong Kong people are naturally smart. After seeing Xiao Qi's indifferent attitude, they immediately stopped talking so as not to make Xiao Qi unhappy, and in turn deliberately tried to mess with Hong Kong.
So Hong Kong resorted to another big move. They sent people from the government to the capital to lobby, hoping to get the capital to stop Xiao Qi's idea of competing with himself.
However, the capital does not have to rely on Hong Kong for everything, and it is not the only son. There are so many provinces and cities in the country. Even if a bowl of water is not equal, the difference between megacities should not be too big at least.
?
If they agree to Hong Kong and order Xiao Qi not to open Disneyland in Nanwan, Guangdong, and order Nanwan, Guangdong not to compete for the establishment of Disneyland, then what will others think of the capital?
Nanwan and Guangdong are not small cities. There are too many outstanding officials who have come out here, and their status is too important to China. If the historical reasons of Hong Kong are not mentioned, a hundred Hong Kongs are not as good as one now.
Guangdong and Nanwan are important.
Therefore, the capital only said that the specific business behavior depends on the specific implementation. On the one hand, everyone competes equally. On the other hand, Xiao Qi has not said that it must be opened in Nanwan, Guangdong. How can we talk about it?
Having hit a soft spot, Hong Kong had no choice but to turn to various wealthy people for help.
The wealthy people in Hong Kong have great power. In addition to the economy, they also affect all aspects of the government. However, the government often wants to regain power and regain control over the businessmen. Therefore, the two are unified as a whole, but there are some contradictions.
Competing for interests.
But one thing is that they all hope that Hong Kong will get better and better, instead of gradually declining after entering the new century and never losing the glory it had for decades.
Therefore, they have the same opinion on the matter of Disney.
But the problem is that they, these old and cunning big businessmen, understand that Xiao Qi actually has no good impression of Hong Kong. When they wanted to get involved in the Fairy Company, Xiao Qi refused without thinking, including a series of fairy tales later.
Company expansion, dream pad, dream sta, and app store shares were sold. Xiao Qi never considered the rich people in Hong Kong, which made it clear that he did not like Hong Kong.
Yan Chenglong was able to do business with Xiao Qi only because he was thick-skinned enough to stick to it, and because he gave Li Shaozhi such a clever move, he gained some benefits.
The reason why Li Xiaochao was able to do business with Xiao Qi was because Li Chaoren lowered his face and helped Xiao Qi's other woman, Feng Kexin, collect shares in TVB TVB, and sold shares of Watsons and Hong Kong Metro to Xiao Qi's women.
This was the foundation for Li Xiaochao to take off.
Of course, they thought it was not worth it at first, but now it seems that it is worth a thousand dollars.
In just over a year, their net worth has continued to skyrocket.
When the Hong Kong rich list was released last year, Yan Chenglong's family fortune was US$9.6 billion, ranking the ninth richest person in Hong Kong, and Li Xiaochao's wealth was US$1.6 billion, ranking eighth in Hong Kong.
Such a result frightened a group of wealthy people who had worked hard all their lives. They did not expect that they could make such money by being suppliers and OEMs of smart electronics!!
This year, as they produce products for Fairy Company and their output continues to increase, their rankings will rise again. It is conservatively estimated that they can increase their wealth by 3%. They are really enviable to others!
But they are just these two people. Although there are rich people who want to copy the miracle of success of Yan Chenglong and Li Xiaochao, and want to become the third lucky person by sending Xiao Qi beautiful women and big stars, but so far there is no one.
success.
It’s not like they don’t work hard, for example, Fairy Caixia, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister, TVB’s Little Actress, pop singer’s little queen, the still-charming Thirteenth Aunt... There should be no one more beautiful than Li Shaozhi, but there are several who are more beautiful than Feng Kexin
, even more famous than her.
But Xiao Qi has never had the intention of hunting. If he meets a woman worth loving, he will accept her. And after the examples of Li Zhenxi and Li Shaozhi, he has already been wary of this pattern.
If it weren't for Li Jianxi's reputation for being tough, Xiao Qi wouldn't even think about acting with Han Jia'er because he was afraid that rejecting Han Jia'er would cause huge harm to Han Jia'er.
Therefore, even among the beautiful celebrities in Hong Kong, many of whom Xiao Qi liked when he was a child, he has never been tempted and refused even if they met in person. Even if they met at a party, he would just chat a few times.
Just leave.
Most of the high-end beauty celebrities now know about the relationship between Xiao Qi, Feng Kexin and Li Shaozhi. It is simply impossible to say that there is no envy, jealousy and hatred. It is impossible to copy the successful young appearance of these two "old women".
There are also beautiful celebrities, so many female celebrities go to chat with Xiao Qi half-heartedly, but Xiao Qi's attitude is gentle and polite, which can only make them bitterly disappointed.
The rich couldn't give away beautiful women, and their power was not as powerful as Xiao Qi's. They could only sigh with hope and regret that they had no chance to ride on Xiao Qi's coattails and take another step forward on the road to becoming super rich.
Liu Datou and Xiao Qi cooperated. Although they had heard about doing business in the UK, they were not very interested in the business of speculating real estate in the UK. They felt that it would be difficult to do business if they were not familiar with the place.
It would be better to seize the genuine direct line industries owned by Xiao Qi.
Liu Datou is a very cunning person. Now that he has begun to gain some ground in the UK, he has not said anything about the truth about Hong Kong. He just said that he is waiting for opportunities and waiting to open up a new market.
But if it weren’t for the two crises in Hong Kong’s economy, they would not have had the opportunity to obtain shares in Meitu Sharing and Fairy Guardian.
Therefore, looking left and right, most people thought that they did not have the influence to persuade Xiao Qi, and their final gaze could only fall on Li Chaoren.
Li Chaoren could only smile bitterly at this. In fact, his relationship with Xiao Qi was far from the tacit cooperation that it seemed to the outside world. In fact, the smartest businessman in Hong Kong had long noticed that Xiao Qi was indifferent to him.
Yes, bland.
Although Xiao Qi has many business contacts with Li Chaoren, in terms of private friendly relationship, he is not as good as his second son and Yan Chenglong.
Li Chaoren doesn't know the reason, and he won't ask. All he needs is to let the outside world think that he and Xiao Qi are good friends. As for whether Xiao Qi really values him, this veteran Asia's richest man doesn't care. When it comes to him
At this level, if it were not for the future of his children and grandchildren, he would not have a relationship with Xiao Qi.
But no matter what, since colleagues in the business community and the government have placed their hopes on Li Chaoren, Li Chaoren could only discuss the terms with them, and then personally drove to Feng Kexin's villa to pay a visit, which he had just arrived from Li Shaozhi's villa yesterday.
The world's richest man.
