Chapter 1342 Disney and DFS

Chapter 1341 Disney and DFS (Second)

In terms of "tourism", Xia Yu asked the think tank to make a survey report, detailing the attractions of Xiangjiang that are attractive to local and overseas tourists.

Statistics show that the three most famous scenic spots in Hong Kong are Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Ocean Park and Victoria Harbour.

Taiping Peak is an old-fashioned scenic spot. The Taiping Mountain Cable Car has been in operation since 1888, and there has been no accident in the past 100 years.

Mount Taiping is also the highest place in Xiangjiang. Standing on the top of Mount Taiping, you can look down on the panoramic view of Xiangjiang with the sea breeze blowing.

The Xiangjiang Ocean Park has been open for more than seven years since its opening in 1977.

At present, it is not only the most popular theme park in Hong Kong, but also the most popular theme park in Southeast Asia. It has many honors such as "the largest entertainment and leisure park in Southeast Asia" and "one of the largest aquariums in the world". Not a small amount of fame.

Victoria Harbour, not to mention, is named after the Queen of England. Victoria Harbour is also the largest harbour in Asia and the third largest in the world. The night view of Victoria Harbour is gorgeous.

Especially since Hong Kong Tourism Investment Group created "Symphony of Lights", it has added a touch of color to Victoria Harbour.

With these three places, it has actually been able to attract a large number of tourists to Hong Kong.

But these three attractions alone are not enough.

In the second grade, there are also the Wong Tai Sin Temple, which is currently attractive to Southeast Asian tourists and mainland tourists, and Causeway Bay and Lan Kwai Fong, which are now gradually famous in Southeast Asia for their films and TV series.

Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be any attractive attractions, such as Victoria Park.

After reading the investigation report, Xia Yu couldn't help shaking his head. These scenic spots are not attractive in a complex way. It is too difficult to stand up the card of Xiangjiang's "tour"!

So it really still needs him to speed up Xiangjiang and build a foundation.

Recalling a series of well-known attractions in Xiangjiang in his previous life, Xia Yu selected two, namely Avenue of Stars and Hong Kong Disneyland.

The Walk of Fame is a scenic spot in the range of Victoria Harbour. It imitates the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States. The ground is inlaid with plaques of movie celebrities, and there are celebrity handprints, as well as the bronze statue of the martial arts superstar Bruce Lee.

It's just that the former Hong Kong Avenue of Fame was not perfect, and the grade is far from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not only are there fewer celebrities, but the pattern is not big enough, and most of them are movie celebrities.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is enlarged to the entire entertainment industry. More than 2,500 "stars" represent the eternal commemoration of those who have made outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry.

Records the names of actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical ensembles, theatre groups, avatars and others.

Of course, after analysis, Xia Yu also came to the reason why the popularity of the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars is not large enough. The key is that the entertainment industry of Hong Kong gradually declined after the 1980s and lost its reputation as Oriental Hollywood.

But this life is different. With his Jiuding Culture and Media Group, the housing prices of Xiangjiang have been suppressed. Coupled with the influence of him and his group on Southeast Asia, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang will only become more and more prosperous. Live up to the name of Eastern Hollywood.

So make a good plan, the Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars can definitely be successful, at least it is more than ten times the popularity of the previous life is not a problem.

Xia Yu has this confidence!

Then there is Hong Kong Disneyland, and there is not a single hair at this time.

The island nation's Disneyland only opened last year.

There are currently only three Disneyland parks in the world: California Disneyland, Orlando Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.

According to the trajectory, if it is normal, Hong Kong Disneyland will only open in 2005, which is the fifth in the world!

Absolutely not!

The most important thing about the Disneyland brand is that it is very attractive to Europeans and Americans. Under the circumstance that the mainland does not understand Disney culture, if there is a Disneyland in Hong Kong, it will definitely be a great weapon to attract European and American tourists to enter!

With the support of his huge media empire, he will have the highest probability of success and the lowest probability of losing money in Hong Kong Disneyland!

It’s just that the American Disney Company would not be willing to build another Disneyland in Hong Kong. After all, Tokyo Disneyland, which is also in East Asia, has just opened. Building a Disneyland in Hong Kong will definitely be detrimental to Tokyo Disneyland.

The management of the American Disney Company is certainly not stupid.

Then only by extreme means.

Bright Fund already holds a part of the shares of Disney Company in the United States. In addition, it seems that Disney Company is in a trough now, and it just happened to be acquired by Polaris Capital. The problem of building Hong Kong Disneyland will be easily solved.

At the same time, it will also strengthen Polaris Capital's dominance over Hollywood!

After setting these two goals, the strength of Xiangjiang's "touring" can be improved.

Only the last "purchase" is left.

Xiangjiang in later generations is a world-renowned "shopping paradise", but its popularity is far less than that of later generations.

The signboard of "Shopping Paradise" has not been completely erected.

In fact, when it comes to building the tourism industry in Hong Kong, the "purchase" is the best way to build it. After all, Hong Kong is a free port, and there are zero tariffs for goods entering Hong Kong!

For other countries, a small number of goods are also tax-free after entering the customs, so shopping in Hong Kong is enough to enjoy two-way tax-free, and the price will drop a lot when this tax is exempted!

Especially for high-tariff commodities such as beauty and fragrance, watches and jewelry, fashion and accessories, alcohol and tobacco, the two-way tax exemption can even make it possible to buy several times the amount of goods for one dollar in the past!

This is the biggest advantage of Xiangjiang as a free port!

It's just that Xiangjiang woke up relatively late, and it has been because of political reasons that the development of Xiangjiang has been seriously delayed, so that when it wants to catch up, it is already too late.

Asia accounts for more than half of the $100 billion tax-free market in the future, reaching as high as $50 billion.

Of the 50 billion US dollars, South Korea alone accounts for more than 40%!

Even in the global market, it is as high as more than 20%, ranking first in the world, higher than the UK!

And South Korea's duty-free market, nearly 80% of each year is contributed by foreign consumers, and more than half of these 80% are contributed by Chinese people...

Obviously, Xiangjiang occupied the location and people after 1997, but because it did not occupy the time before 1997, it fell behind step by step.

The fertilizer and water have flowed into the outsiders' fields.

But now, while South Korea has not yet deployed, Star City, Kuala Lumpur and the island country have not paid attention to it. Xiangjiang will set up the banner ahead of time, gather the general trend, and attract capital and world-renowned brands, so other countries have no way to catch up.

To do this, Xia Yu must have a duty-free shop brand!

The license plate is not a problem, how many he wants is a matter of one sentence.

Commodities are not a problem either.

He owns the French LVHM group, so perfumes, cosmetics, high-end leather goods, red wine and liquor are all there.

He also has Forever Jewelry, so there are also items like jewelry.

He also has Jiuding Electric Group and Tiangong Electronics Group, as well as commodities such as electrical appliances and electronic products.

As for watches, cigarettes, cakes, gifts, delicacies, etc., he does not have them, but other partners of the Southeast Asian consortium have.

Putting all these things together, it is possible to open a store.

After thinking about it, the key is to have a mature team and management system. Acquisition is the fastest way and can play a role in the first time.

After some investigation, the largest duty-free shop in Hong Kong is DFS, which was founded in 1961 by Americans Charles Feeney and Robert Miller.

As for other companies, they are far from DFS.

Of course, because DFS was founded for a short period of time, although DFS has a mature management system and team, their strength is not strong, their ability to integrate commodities is not enough, and they are also constrained by the current development of Heungkong, so that DFS The company hasn't exploded yet.

Just right for him to buy.

Without further ado, Xia Yu directly decided to let Jiuding Retail Group acquire DFS, and then the family office came forward to integrate the resources of the entire consortium, allowing DFS to take off and carry the banner of the Hong Kong duty-free retail industry.

In this way, the shortcomings of Xiangjiang's tourism and entertainment industry have also been made up.

After sorting out these ideas, Xia Yu handed them all over to the family office.

He was finally able to relax again.

As the family office continued to issue orders one after another, and one proposal after another was passed on to Su Xingjian, the work pressure of various departments of the Hong Kong government, especially the Legislative Council, increased sharply.

However, Liang Dingbang knew that this was the meaning of the big boss, and he gritted his teeth and gathered the manpower of the Legislative Council to push forward the legislative work of various bills...
