Chapter 814: UItraman: Towards the future
Football is also a business.
Although Meng Lang did not manage it carefully, counting the currency depreciation, he should have lost some. But after so many years of operation, Bolton has also created a great reputation for PD.
Rounded up, it's still not a loss!
Of course, whether you lose or not is a small issue. Meng Lang is no longer what it used to be, billions of PD parks can accept it, and he still cares about this loss?
Speaking of PD Paradise......
Because of the benefits of "free January", the number of visitors to the park has skyrocketed recently. The four parks all received more than 100,000 visitors per day.
Among them, Kyoto Paradise performed the best.
Neon has a small land area and is quite densely populated. In the past, when the admission fee was charged, everyone didn't like to go to PD Park very much. Admission is waived now, and all of them are coming!
Come on!
You said that these people can visit PD Park for free, and forget it if they don't buy souvenirs. Isn't it a bit too much to even bring your own food and drink?
"Neon has a unique bento culture!"
In an internal email, President Ono said helplessly, "Although Kyoto Amusement Park is the world's largest in terms of the number of visitors per day, its performance is the lowest one. Everyone likes to bring their own bento drinks, and the restaurant in the park is full of ......"
You're all dogs, right?
When Uncle Meng saw this email, he was so angry that he almost changed his ticket and flew to squat at the gate of the park in neon, and saw that he had confiscated a bento!
It's no wonder that Disney in the original time and space will prohibit visitors from bringing food and drinks into the park. It's very cheap, but it's all about making money!
confiscated the lunch, Meng Lang couldn't make it.
Disney's approach has never been on the table. Once you are stabbed out, you will definitely be insulted by thousands of people.
Why not do it another way?
You bring a bento, don't you?
It's okay! The security guards won't stop you, just take you in. But Uncle Meng found an excuse to tear down the table in the paradise and not let you find a place to eat!
This is going down, right?
What? You said that there are benches and stone benches in the park, and you can eat without a table, so it doesn't have much impact?
No way!
Paradise hastened to introduce a rule that does not prevent you from eating bento on the surface, but secretly punishes "food staining the benches and stone benches".
Here's an example!
If you are not forbidden to eat a bento, but if the oil stains on your lunch box fall on the bench and stone bench, then you have violated the rules of the park and need to be punished.
As a result, everyone thinks, "Hey, it's so troublesome to bring a bento! Anyway, the restaurant isn't expensive, so let's just go to the restaurant and eat!"
Anyway, Meng Lang hollowed out the idea of letting visitors enter the park restaurant to consume, and not to bring any lunch drinks into the park.
After all, he's already free of charge!
There is no charge for tickets, so you can have a meal here, drink saliva and buy souvenirs, is there any problem?
Of course, if you are determined to prostitute in vain, no one will stop you. After all, after a month of free tickets, everything is back to the same.
Neon has a bento culture, so Kyoto Paradise's performance is poor. However, in Jiangchuan, Paris and Los Angeles, PD Paradise's performance is relatively good.
There are so many tourists!
With so many tourists, even if only 1 in 10 people are willing to spend, it is not a small amount.
Not to mention, the company has done statistics before. The proportion of tourists who come to visit PD Park is about 73%. In other words, almost two-thirds of tourists are willing to spend money.
After all, the white prostitution party is in the minority.
If you go out for a day, it will cost you a little money. The only difference is that some people will have a meal and buy some souvenirs of their choice. And some people, just buy a bottle of water to quench their thirst.
"Taurus Paradise, how many buildings are left unfinished?"
As soon as the plane landed, after seeing Kent at the airport, Meng Lang couldn't wait to ask: "Can it be completely completed within this year?"
"It should be fine!"
The two got into the car, and on the way to the North American branch of PD, Kent reported to Meng Lang: "The main buildings of the park have been completed, and most of the remaining parts are supporting facilities. Within this year, it will definitely be done. ”
"That's good!"
Meng Lang muttered: "I have decided to start the construction of Gemini and Cancer Paradise at the same time within this year. Where do you think it's better to build it?"
"Huaxia!"
After answering casually, Kent frowned and said, "Starting two park projects at one time, can our capital chain hold up?"
In general!
The construction of PD Park is built every two years. It took eight years to build four parks.
If it is changed to two every two years, an average of one a year. With the existing revenue capacity of PD Group, I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain this huge consumption.
"I have plans for that. ”
Meng Lang shook his head and said, "One a year, it should be the limit speed." No matter how fast it is, you will have to borrow desperately, which is too risky. ”
"You said it was built in Huaxia, what do you think? Tell me in detail!"
"The Huaxia market is huge, and a Jiangchuan paradise can't meet the demand at all. If the group needs to build a new amusement park, I think Huaxia is more suitable. ”
After saying that, Kent added with a smile: "Of course, I think North America is not bad! After all, the population here is not small, and the consumption potential is huge." ”
"Makes sense!"
Meng Lang nodded and said, "Then so be it, Gemini is built in China, and Cancer is built in Canada." One on one side, perfect!"
Kent: "???"
......
Mr. Meng's thinking has always been out of the box.
In the last second, everyone was still struggling with the matter of "two new park projects a year". In the next second, Meng Lang talked about this FOX cooperation again.
"The main purpose of this cooperation is to ease the tension between us and FOX and eliminate the influence of external public opinion. After the cooperation, we have nothing to do with FOX. ”
"So, this project is destined to have no sequel! If you have any ideas, just put them forward! Anyway, FOX pays for it, we pay for it, don't worry about the budget ......"
No budget constraints?
That's so cool!
Hearing Mr. Meng's words, a group of producers in the conference room rushed to express their thoughts.
Some people say that since FOX doesn't stipulate budget limits, let's make it desperately and make a wave of blockbusters!
Some people also say that although the budget is not limited, this work is produced by PD after all, and the issue of word-of-mouth still has to be considered, and it can't be casually perfunctory.
"How about a sequel to Jonias?"
"It seems that it can! The previous sequel was stranded, isn't it because the budget is too high! Now that the big man is paying for it, why don't we shoot it?"
Someone mentioned Jonias, which instantly aroused the unanimous approval of everyone.
At this time, Meng Lang nodded and said: "It's not impossible to shoot Ultraman, but Jonias's sequel is okay." Let's get a new Ultra Warrior, what do you think?"
"I'm okay with that!"
"I agree!"
Seeing that no one objected, Meng Lang threw out the plan he had prepared for a long time, asked the secretary to distribute it to everyone, and then introduced: "New project, Ultraman: Facing the future!"
English name: UItraman: Towards the future!
Everyone looked at each other.
Kent said weakly: "This is named...... It's a bit unconventional, isn't it? Isn't it worth having an informal name that everyone can understand?"
Reasonable!
Meng Lang thought about it, and it was really the truth.
Just looking at the name, it's really hard to understand what this thing is planning. Don't talk about them, maybe the audience is confused.
Then give it a "nickname"!
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Lang finally remembered what the nickname of this product was, clapped his hands and said: "If you are not used to this name, you can call it "Ultraman Gray", referred to as Ultraman G!"
Ultraman G...... G guy?
