Chapter 1794 The New Disneyland

Compared with the dull news brought by IMAX Company, in the afternoon, another company executive arrived and brought good news.

He is New Bijian, vice president of Disney's global business unit.

Ye Linqinwa had read Niu Bijian's information and knew that he was one of the leading professional managers in Hong Kong and one of the most powerful people in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, in the first two years of development, he made many major mistakes, so he was removed from power by the company and was eventually eliminated.

In sharp contrast to him is Yin Jun, Ye Linqinwa's boss.

Taking advantage of Niu Bijian's mistakes, Yin Jun bought the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone and Xiangjiang Electric from him, greatly enriching his consortium camp.

Afterwards, Yin Jun recruited Niu Bijian regardless of past suspicions and asked him to help handle Disney's amusement park opening strategy.

Newbjian's first task after taking office was to open a Disneyland in Germany.

This is an extremely difficult task.

Even Czechs like Yelinqinwa know that Disney has already reached an agreement with France and is preparing to open a Disneyland on the outskirts of Paris, France.

France is right on the edge of Germany. How can it make sense for these two countries to open Disneyland at the same time?

In such a big matter, breaking a business contract is definitely an extremely small thing.

More seriously, it will affect the relations between the United States, Germany and France.

But Niu Bijian, who accepted the task, was not ambiguous at all.

He has sufficient resources in his hands and constantly breaks news to reporters, showing the unsupportive attitude of the French government and people and the difficulties they have created during the implementation of the contract.

Journalists are originally people who can make waves without wind. How can they not be excited when they hear such concrete news?

In particular, the British, who always like to see Europeans making fools of themselves, immediately dispatched a shrewd and capable tabloid team to conduct an all-round investigation into this matter.

The news that turned out to be unearthed was even more shocking than what Nu Bijian had revealed.

Not only is it creating difficulties, not only is it a lack of support, it is completely opposition.

The news published in The Sun and The Guardian caused an uproar around the world.

"We are here to bring joy to children in France and even all over Europe, but can anyone tell me why France has clearly negotiated cooperation with us, but now it seems that we are forcing them to open Disneyland in Paris? From paradise?”

"How many years has it been since the contract was signed? It's been 12 years!! We at Disney are constantly communicating with them, but you see what we get? Difficulty, ridicule, and procrastination!!"

"In their view, we Americans are just a country with no culture, and our Disney culture is a joke, not as advanced as France's!"

"Enough! Enough of everything!!"

"I, including our Disney chairman Mr. Yin Jun, have had enough of the arrogance of the French!"

"So from now on, we announce the suspension of the Disneyland contract with France. We will fully compensate France for the US$1 billion involved in the contract! And for the huge amount of manpower and material resources that Disney has invested, as well as the energy involved, we will not I decided to take the responsibility myself and will not ask them for compensation!”

"Because everyone knows that Disneyland is not just for making money, we sincerely want to let European children have a fairy tale childhood!!"

"From now on, we will discuss a specific compensation plan with the French side, and our actions will not stop!"

"Cologne, Germany, this beautiful city located on the Rhine River, has shown us great sincerity in cooperation. Next, we will have a serious discussion with them about building a new Disneyland in Cologne."

"Please believe that Disneyland will definitely make its home on the European continent, so that children can experience the fairy tale world only found in cartoons!"

Okay.

This turmoil started in February and by April it became the most lively dispute in the world.

The French were all fooled.

yes.

They look down on the nouveau riche Americans, but this matter is all a private embarrassment and has no intention of bringing it to the table!

Americans also want to save face, so they have not broken up with each other all these years. They just hope that the cooperation will be successful as soon as possible and Disneyland can be built, then everything will be fine.

Unexpectedly, after Disney was acquired by a private company and kept silent for several years, Yin Jun actually found such a stupid young man and put these things on the table all at once.

In other words, it just turned the tables!

Originally, the French did not have a good impression of Yin Jun.

Although he promoted Sophie Marceau to the point of being nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, this Sophie Marceau, who starred in "Juno", is not the Sophie Marceau they like.

They certainly won’t hate Sophie Marceau, after all, this is also a huge honor.

They only hated Yin Jun for kidnapping Sophie Marceau, especially since Yin Jun had a scandal with Sophie Marceau!

Are you kidding me?

Of course, the roses of us French people are best picked by us French people. How come you, a foreigner, are also Chinese in your turn?

So they didn't say anything good about Yin Jun on weekdays, let alone have any favorable impressions of him.

But they never expected that Yin Jun would dare to treat them like this, dare to terminate the cooperation agreement with Disneyland, and dare to humiliate the entire France! ?

They immediately became angry and immediately used the strongest attitude to show that the French people would not accept such a suspension of the contract. They gave a serious warning to Disney to give up this ridiculous and stupid idea and get back on the right track.

Newbie is a British person. In terms of arrogance, how can the French be more arrogant than the British?

Hearing this attitude of the French, he immediately said, "We are willing to bear all liability for breach of contract. Doesn't the law still allow us to breach the contract? The French must taste the consequences of their own mistakes! From now on, Disney will not beg anyone, nor will it yield to any evil forces!"

The American media are also following suit.

Although many American media tycoons have little to do with Yin Jun, even giants such as Time Warner, Universal, and Columbia, their film companies still have the most direct competitive relationship with Yin Jun.

But this time Disney represents the face of the United States. Of course, they are constantly trying to expose the arrogance and rudeness of the French, which makes the American people strongly dissatisfied with the French.

The British already disliked the French. They were eager for the Americans and the French to get into trouble, so they added fuel to the fire.

The media from the three countries started a war of words.

In the end, even the German media joined the war and joined the United States in the bloody battle with France.

Niu Bijian is not just talking.

Yin Jun's intention is very clear to him, that is, he wants to change the country where Disneyland is located and settle in Germany.

So while he was having a war of words, he actually started negotiating with the local government in Cologne.

Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city, straddles both sides of the Rhine River and has a very long history.

During World War II, it was almost razed to the ground, but after decades of development, it became a bustling financial and transportation center in Germany.

Such a city certainly has a lot of ideas. Especially when they learned that Disney wanted to build a Disneyland in France, they immediately took the most positive attitude and invited Newbie to inspect it.

At the beginning of the talks, Cologne expressed their attentive attitude that they could bear half of the default costs, making it clear that they wanted to compete for Disneyland.

Among several German cities, Niubijian really took a fancy to Cologne.

On the one hand it is located on the beautiful Rhine River, where there are already many tourists.

Secondly, to its northwest is the Netherlands, which can be reached in two hours by train.

Directly west of it is the wealthy Belgium, which can also be reached by train in more than an hour.

Even in France, the flight only takes an hour and a half.

With such a good geographical environment, more people can come to Disneyland in Cologne.

But just because the geographical conditions and location are good, it doesn’t mean it will definitely be here.

Otherwise, if Paris was ten times better than Cologne, why would they fall out in the end?

In the next few months, New Bijian has been negotiating with them, and also found time to end his bad relationship with France.

Finally, at the end of November, Niu Bijian, on behalf of the Disney Company, signed a cooperation agreement with Cologne, Germany, agreeing to build a 500-hectare Disneyland in the suburbs of Cologne...and of course on the banks of the Rhine River in the next ten years. paradise.

The first phase of 200 hectares will be completed in 5 years and will open in 1990.

The completed Cologne Disneyland is expected to welcome 10 million tourists every year, bringing huge revenue to the tourism industry in Cologne and even Germany.

The conditions offered by Cologne are also very generous. Not only is the land basically given away, but it also provides various tax support.

In terms of construction, the best engineering companies in Germany will be used, and the Cologne government will be responsible for overall supervision to ensure that it is completed according to quality and quantity.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country in Germany was rejoicing, especially the children, who cheered excitedly that their country finally had a Disneyland!

Of course, while Germany is happy, France must be very angry.

But New Bijian did not bother with them too much. After many negotiations without seeing any concessions from them, he directly activated the liquidated damages mechanism, credited US$1 billion to their account, and unilaterally announced the suspension of cooperation.

Such arrogance and rudeness made the French cursed in anger, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Westerners are accustomed to discussing matters as they arise. If they take their anger out on the Qilin Group, it will be a trampling on the entire Western legal system, which is not allowed by anyone.
