"Invest in New York?" Xu Zhi's brain spun rapidly.

In the early 80s, New York was the center of the global economy, with Manhattan, the world's most expensive housing price, Wall Street, a financial center, the world's largest stock exchange, and a gold, diamond, and art trading center.

But New York's economic problems are also serious, in terms of population, it is one of the densest cities in the world, but the financial jobs are very limited, and there are luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini, and it also has the worst, most crowded and chaotic subway in the world.

The polarized economy has led to the rich living in gold and the poor living in difficulty, and in the 70s, two oil shocks hit the economy very hard, and the poor were more affected.

When Mario Cuomo came to power, violent crime was rampant in New York, and although it was forcefully cracked down by the police and other law enforcement agencies, these could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the economy was always the best means to stabilize society.

Mario Cuomo recognized all of this from the very beginning of his presidency and used his power to create more jobs by lowering taxes and increasing the public investment budget.

And tonight, the purpose of his coming here should be for this.

After thinking about everything, Xu Zhi said: "Your Excellency, I am also very optimistic about the development of New York City, but at present, my company does not have any projects suitable for New York City. ”

Mario Cuomo smiled: "Mr. Xu just bought Disney, and New York City is currently one of the most prosperous cities in the world, so I think if we can, Disney can build a big park in New York City!"

"Build Disney in New York?" If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the governor, Xu Zhi would probably turn around and leave!

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It is impossible to build a Disneyland, two Disney parks in one America are enough, and it is difficult to find a large area of land near New York State that is enough to build a Disney park." ”

Throughout Disney's history, with the exception of Japan's licensing and the 21st-century Shanghai Disneyland, the construction of several other Disney parks has been almost as depleted as Boeing's development of a new aircraft.

The first Disney in California, costing $130 million, was $130 million in the 50s.

The second Walt Disneyland, costing $766 million, 766 million in the 60-70s.

In later history, European Disney cost 5 billion US dollars, and Hong Kong Disney cost more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Disneyland does not have a small area, it is a large number of amusement buildings built on an area of a few square kilometers, and this kind of investment must ensure that the surrounding population is covered enough, otherwise, it will be a loss.

Therefore, in the whole of the Americas, only 2 can be built, so many people in Europe, building one is still losing money, and there is also the Asian part, there are too many people, supporting 3 Disney, and each is making money.

Mario Cuomo smiled: "Mr. Xu, you may have misunderstood what I meant, I hope that Disney can build a large amusement park in New York, not a Disney park." ”

"If that's the case, I can promise it. After thinking about it, Xu Zhi agreed, an amusement park is just a park, as long as it is not a perverted investment like Disneyland, he can easily invest, tens of millions of dollars is enough.

Mario Cuomo said with satisfaction: "Mr. Xu, there is no shortage of amusement parks in New York City, but there are very few attractive theme parks, so I hope that Disney can bring some new ideas to New York City." ”

In this era, the entertainment industry in the United States is very far away from New York, and the famous entertainment in New York is Broadway dramas, and as for theme parks, American entertainment tycoons prefer to build in the resort mecca Florida and California.

"Yes, it's an honor for us at Disney to invest in New York. Xu Zhi said with a smile that Disney is not only Disneyland, but also many theme parks derived from other anime, but the scale is not large enough, and the reputation is average, and in the 21st century, because the business is marginalized, it was eliminated.

Xu Zhi is now ready to focus on redeveloping Disney's film and television production business, as long as the film and television business is doing well, it can naturally be used as a theme park.

"Well, I hope to see the Disney Company's theme parks in New York soon. Mario Cuomo said with a smile.

After a few more pleasantries, Mr. Governor said goodbye and left, and Xu Zhi and Peter personally sent him downstairs.

Looking at the car leaving in the distance, Xu Zhi asked, "Peter, you said that the governor of New York came here in person just to hope that we can invest in a theme park in New York?"

"I don't quite understand, but you don't have to think too much about it, although American politicians have a consortium behind them, they will not be disgusted with getting more funding, so it is not too strange to win over overseas billionaires. Mario Cuomo explained.

"So be it, let's go up first. Although Xu Zhi couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, the other party was not malicious, and it was a waste of time to think too much.

......

On Washington Avenue in New York City, an extended Lincoln sedan is speeding forward.

Inside the car, Governor Mario Cuomo was looking at a series of documents in his hand through the overhead light.

After a while, he handed the document to the person next to him and said, "William, take a look at this document." ”

William took the information, looked through it carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "The information on this is all true?"

"Can the latest Forbes material be fake?" said Mario Cuomo with a laugh.

"However, if what is written on it is true, then isn't this Eric surpassing Wang An and the richest Chinese man in the world?" William said in surprise, the information in his hand was too amazing.

What he is holding in his hand at the moment is an unpublished Forbes magazine, which has estimated Xu Zhi's net worth of $3 billion based on the assets of several major companies in Xiangjiang and the United States, involving real estate, electronics, beverages, infrastructure, banking and other industries.

Xu Zhi's acquisition of Disney has attracted the attention of the entire American media, and Forbes has naturally followed the trend, conducting a surprise investigation within half a month, thinking that Xu Zhi's net worth will be found out clearly, and he is ready to announce it at the right time.

Mario Cuomo nodded: "Even if Forbes' data is not accurate, it should be about the same, and this acquisition of Disney has taken a step further in influence, so I went to his party in person." ”

"I see. William understood.

"Actually, I would like to build a Disneyland in New York, this thing is not an ordinary economic stimulus, but unfortunately New York City did not take the initiative to fight for it when Walt Disney was built!" Mario sighed.

Walt Disneyland was the second park of the Disney Company, and there were many cities competing for it back then, and New York also joined in, and later it was Orlando City that was ruthless enough to sell and give away a large amount of land at a low price.

And now there are a lot of gains, just relying on the tourists attracted by Disney, which has greatly stimulated Orlando's economy.

"Disney is not doing well right now, and even if Eric buys it, it may not be able to come back to life. William reminded.

Mario Cuomo nodded and said: "This kind of thing, no one knows what will happen in the future, and it will not be a fool to be able to start from scratch to this scale, before he bought Disney, he should have a full plan." ”

"It's also true that people like him must have a sufficient brain tank behind us. William said.

"No matter, if he can really revive Disney, we'll decide what happened in the future. Mario said with a smile.
