Chapter 2694 Moscow Disneyland?
New Year's Day on January 1 is a grand holiday for Westerners.
However, in today's high-paced working and living society, festivals are a luxury for many people to come to book.
Especially the chairman and executives of some large companies, the more festivals they have, the busier they are.
DST boss James Milner is like this.
Although his wife and children in Russia were still waiting for him to go home for the holidays, but before returning to Russia from the United States, he came to Huaguo Rongcheng to visit Xiao Qi.
Rongcheng in winter is a season that Xiao Qi doesn't like very much. He would rather go to the north where the cold wind blows, and he doesn't want to experience the cold and humid weather here in Rongcheng.
Milner doesn't like this kind of weather even more. Russia in the Arctic Circle is cold, but it is definitely not so humid. This kind of cold and damp atmosphere makes him drink two sips of Volga after eating, which is regarded as driving Except for a little cold.
"If you have a rare chance, you should also visit my hometown." Milner put down the bottle and said to Xiao Qi with a smile, "My hometown is in a small mountain village in the north of Russia, which is more than 900 kilometers away from Moscow. There are few people in the place, and in winter, almost all the roads are blocked, and it is impossible to pass through. But there is also an advantage, that is, the scenery in winter is very beautiful, and when it is windy and snowy, sitting in the house and looking outside is not a pleasant feeling. "
"I still prefer the south." Xiao Qi said bluntly.
"Hehe, it's a vacation, I have to go anywhere." Milner smiled, "Qi Shao, how did you decide on the thing I told you before coming here?"
Milner called Xiao Qi two days ago, saying that Russia hopes that there will be a Disneyland located in Moscow. He can put any conditions at will.
Russia has such needs. This is no exception.
Although many Russians do not travel to the United States, they are going to travel to Western Europe. Disneyland in Paris has been there for five consecutive years. The most people who enter the park are Russians, which shows that Russians like these fairy tale worlds.
Don't think that Russia and the United States are naturally hostile, but fairy tales and childlike innocence are beautiful things that people pursue, but everyone likes them.
So in this respect, Disneyland knows no borders.
It was only because Disney was controlled by Americans. So Russia made several requests, but they blocked them.
It's not that the U.S. government is deliberately creating any difficulties, but Americans have always looked down on Russians. Disney feels that Russia is sparsely populated, and there is no way to support the passenger flow required by a Disneyland.
Think about it, even Disneyland in Paris has only made meager profits these years, and Hong Kong is still losing money. How could Disneyland take risks in Russia?
But now it is different, Xiao Qi bought the Disney company. The Disney Company immediately announced that it would build four Disneylands in Huaguo, which made many people who are interested in opening Disneylands secretly happy.
Compared with the conservative and antiquated Disney's original group of executives, Xiao Qi is undoubtedly full of aggressive attitudes. It is conceivable that Disneyland will not only be opened in Huaguo in the future, but there must be more places that can benefit from it.
Russians want a Disneyland, not only because Disneyland is very fun and can meet the entertainment and play needs of the domestic people, but also because it can increase the employment population of Moscow and the industrial chain can also benefit.
more importantly. Disneyland can attract many people to visit Moscow. As long as they come to Moscow, many bad impressions of Moscow caused by foreign propaganda will change. This is what the Russian tsar wants to see most.
After all in this world. The most demonized is Russia!
An important project to change people's impression of Russia is exactly what His Majesty the Tsar and Russia desperately need!
Judging from the experience of several cooperations in the past, the Russians feel that Xiao Qi undoubtedly has a good impression of Russia, and the business with Russia is also going smoothly.
Of course the Russians also supported Xiao Qi. The operation of Fairy's directly-operated store in Russia has never been subjected to any difficulties. His Excellency the Tsar also specifically mentioned that all the business of Fairy Company in Russia must be guaranteed to be safe and fair, and Russian friends must not be wronged.
Under this kind of expectation, Milner himself is Russian, and he and Xiao Qi can be regarded as friends, so he was naturally sent to lobby Xiao Qi.
Don’t look at Milner’s focus on American business, but he is a Russian. He will not change. He was so prosperous in his previous life, and he has never forgotten Russia. He is definitely one of the people who secretly work for Russia’s interests. .
When Xiao Qi heard the sincerity of the Mayor of Moscow conveyed by Milner, and the greetings from His Excellency the Tsar to Xiao Qi, he felt a little amused.
The young man has no affection for Russia at all.
If it weren't for Russia's various resources that China is in short supply, if it wasn't for Russia's huge strength to stand in front of the United States and fight against the United States, Xiao Qi would definitely treat Russia the same way he treated Germany.
Who told Russia to occupy so much territory in China?
But reality is often more important than hatred. The energy security of China has always been under great threat. The United States threatens to blockade China with the first island chain and the second island chain. There is a lot of interference, not to mention the bastards like Singapore who eat inside and outside. If there is anything, they will definitely be the first to cut off the Strait of Malacca, making it impossible for China's oil tankers and natural gas tankers to pass.
Therefore, Hua Guo would rather spend huge sums of money to build roads and lay pipelines in Pakistan all the way to Hua Guo.
That's why Huaguo met many of Myanmar's conditions and prepared to lay pipelines directly from Myanmar to Caiyun.
That's why Huaguo negotiated with Russia and actively strived for the direct laying of Russian oil and gas pipelines to Inner Mongolia, Liaodong and other places.
These things have been preparing and doing since the 1990s-if you don’t make preparations now, should you wait until the Americans completely blockade China before thinking about cramming and working hard?
Xiao Qi is not an ordinary person without any abilities, so he knows that it is not good to turn against a partner like Russia, which currently has great potential for cooperation with China. What is the qualification to settle accounts.
Therefore, Xiao Qi showed great kindness to Russia, and even gave Russia enough face in the oil business.
And the last time when the Russian ruble depreciated sharply and Fairy Company suffered a huge loss of profits, Xiao Qi also insisted not to increase the price, did not suspend trading temporarily, and chose to sell as usual, which made Putin publicly praise Fairy Company .
For these reasons, Russia thinks Xiao Qi is very good, and Milner feels the same way, so he has always been very happy to do business with Xiao Qi.
But when it comes to Disneyland, Xiao Qi hesitates.
"Yuri, you know, I bought the Disney company, that's right." Xiao Qi replied in a deep voice: "But where it should be opened, the opinions of the company's executives are not important, but the US Foreign Investment Committee The committee, the Ministry of Commerce, and some key departments can all express their opinions in secret. Huaguo has a large population and has huge market profits, plus there are more companies invested by the United States here I went, so the Disneyland plan has not been stranded. If it is changed to Moscow, Russia, I am worried that these departments will make some moves."
"You mean, if we take care of these departments, then there is no problem on your side?" Milner nodded.
"Of course I would like to build Disneyland in Moscow. I am an old friend of the Russian people!" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that it's too cold in your place, the workers' wages are too high, and there are some social conflicts. , I have already gone to your place to develop vigorously."
"Hehe, we Russians are also your good friends." Milner was very happy to hear that, "Since you said so, let's go to the United States and work hard! After all, this is a normal business activity. They want If you take it too broadly, it’s shameful.”
Milner is very powerful in the United States, and even Xiao Qi has some doubts whether he has been funded and supported by some Russian departments, which is why he has developed so smoothly in the United States.
But Xiao Qi would not ask about this matter.
"If you want to talk, it's best to formally negotiate in the name of the Moscow government." Xiao Qi suggested, "I can let the high-level officials declare their cooperation intentions, and then as the partner of Disneyland in Russia, the Moscow government can It is justifiable to buy shares with the cost of land, capital, construction, etc., and hold 30%-40% of the shares."
"Okay! Qi Shao, you're really interesting!" Milner grinned and opened his mouth.
After Disneyland has expressed its full cooperation intention, especially on the basis that the Moscow government is also preparing to take a stake, it will be easier to negotiate.
Although the United States and Russia have not dealt with each other very much, there are still many trade exchanges between each other. With the economic recovery of Russia in recent years, the number of Americans going to Russia to do business has also increased a lot.
In this general environment, Russia actively wants to introduce American culture, which is also a kind of pride in the hearts of Americans, who feel that they have captured Russia's cultural market.
As long as this kind of public opinion forms a trend, those departments in the United States will not be able to stop it.
And the active cooperation of Disneyland will also become an important reason for their consideration, which is why Milner thinks Xiao Qi is interesting enough! (~^~)
