At this table, the youngest is the youngest except for Zhou You, who is a young leader. He was born in 1952 and turns 50 this year. As for the others, the youngest is over sixty years old.

This can't be blamed on Zhou You for liking to mix with these middle-aged and elderly people, in fact, he is developing too fast, even in terms of net worth, not to mention young people, even among middle-aged people, there are not many people who can compare with him.

Of course, this is not to say that the people sitting in other rooms are not as good as Zhou You, such as Qiandu, Tencent, and the founders of Google, who have developed very well in their respective fields. There are also Li Yaodong, Lu Jinyuan, Shi Zhenkang, these shopping mall predecessors who have been developing in the mall for decades and have created a lot of foundations, and their reputation is probably a little bigger than that of Zhou You.

But the guests sitting in this room, except for the two ministers who accompanied them, were all leaders who had reached the pinnacle of development in their respective fields. What's more, they are not young anymore, and they are deliberately staggered to sit with the elders, so only they are arranged in this room.

When Zhou You came in, the young master was chatting with Barron and Pietra in a low voice, and Adelson was chatting with Lin Wutong and He Jisheng very happily, on the surface, there was no competition between them, let alone fighting to the death, just like old friends who have been friends for decades.

And Pan Guangnian and a minister in Singapore also got together and whispered, not knowing what they were exchanging.

Seeing Zhou You enter the house, the young master beckoned to him, and Zhou You sat down directly on the sofa next to the young master. Pietra was talking about some advanced experiences in developing Mallorca's in-depth tourism, which are of great reference for Singapore's development, and the young boss is also listening carefully.

After the topic was over, the young head asked, "I thought you wouldn't have time to come over until after the banquet, why did you come so early?" Don't need you to arrange it outside? ”

Zhou You said with a smile: "For these procedural affairs, I can do no better than my general manager." I was very relieved to have her in charge of arranging the whole banquet. ”

"You don't need to speak before the table begins?"

Zhou You said with a smile: "Every time before the banquet, I hear the organizer talk exaggeratedly, and I want him to go down early and start the banquet as soon as possible, so I won't speak this time." However, our company has filmed a five-minute short film, which will be shown before the banquet starts, in place of our speeches. ”

The young head nodded and asked, "I am talking to Chairman Petra, Mr. Hilton, about your practice of integrating tourism resources in the Balearic region, do you think Singapore can learn anything from this?" ”

As soon as it came up, it was such a big proposition, and Zhou You was indeed a little caught off guard. However, he has also compared this question in the past, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Personally, I think that Singapore and Balearic belong to two very different categories. Singapore has a small geographical location and a developed economy, and since 50 years ago, it has been following a path of rejuvenating the country through science and technology. However, the Balearic region has always been a tourist mecca in Europe, and there is a fundamental difference between the two at the expense of industrial development and on a pristine path for the development of tourism. ”

The young head knows the elegance when he hears the string song, and he knows that Zhou You has thought about this aspect when he hears it. He smiled and asked, "Then what do you think is the way for the two to communicate with each other and learn from each other?" ”

Zhou You shook his head and said, "I have some superficial opinions, and my consideration is not too mature, I hope Chairman Li will not feel naïve." ”

Several people present smiled, of course knowing that this was Zhou You's self-humility, waiting for his next words.

"The Balearic region has long been a competing sphere of influence between Arabs and Europeans, which has given it a unique historical precipitation, which, combined with its Mediterranean sunshine and rich landforms, has made it very popular with Europeans. As far as I know, in Mallorca, since the 70s, more than 70% of the new houses there have been bought by people in the Nordic region, because whether it is the United Kingdom, Germany, as well as the Nordic countries and Denmark and the Netherlands, where the Atlantic climate is affected, the winter is long and rainy, so the people there have a natural yearning for sunshine and warmth. This also brings a rich population to the Balearic region, so that there is never a shortage of in-depth tourists, who do nothing but enjoy the warm sunshine there. ”

The origin of electronic music in Ibiza and the development of the world's first naturist beach in Mallorca have linked culture and landscape to create a strong combination of cultural customs and natural scenery, forming a unique tourism culture there. So, in this sense, there are few places in the world that can do this better than the Balearic region. ”

Pietra smiled and nodded, obviously quite useful for his assessment. However, he didn't have much pride. Because the development of tourism culture in the Balearic region did not start with him, he and his colleagues are only the successors of this path.

The expansion of the Balearic region's tourism culture did not begin with them, nor did it end with their departure.

"Singapore is fundamentally different from the Balearic and doesn't have the advantages there. There are few destinations around the Balearic that can compare with them, but around Singapore, whether it is Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, or even Vietnam, there are abundant tourism resources, and Singapore has no advantages at all. Therefore, if Singapore wants to develop tourism, it should not learn from Balearic, but should learn from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. ”

Before 1999, very few people knew about the city of Dubai, but since 99, the completion of Dubai's first world seven-star hotel has quickly become the best business card of Dubai's external publicity. Dubai is still just in its infancy, but it's clear that the future of Dubai has a very strong reputation around the world.

Although the city is not ranked in the world in terms of economy, population, and culture, they can rely on the bizarre architecture and the publicity regardless of the cost, making them synonymous with luxury.

In fact, the city's total GDP is only tens of billions of dollars, not to mention that many medium-sized cities have a much stronger economy than those international metropolises.

Singapore, for example, is only a quarter the size of Dubai, but its economy is four times larger, but in the world, Singapore is not as famous as Dubai, because they can publicize it.

Dubai used to rely on oil to develop, but their oil reserves are quickly depleted, and at this time, Dubai's leaders have been looking for new economic growth points.

After entering the 90s, India, the world's largest gold consumer, has imposed gold import restrictions, and Dubai has always been a gold distribution center in the Middle East.

The world's four major gold markets, the first is London, the second is New York, the third is Hong Kong, and the fourth is Zurich, and the formation of these four major markets is deeply rooted and cannot be shaken by Dubai.

But Dubai has taken a different approach, taking advantage of low taxes to establish itself as a gold consumer, forming a huge market for gold retail.

Inspired by the Burj Al Arab, Dubai embarked on a new round of development, always looking for extremes and putting demand first. With a fleet of bizarre buildings, including the world's tallest building and the largest aircraft, the A380, it has established itself as synonymous with luxury and has its own resounding business card around the world.

However, at this time, Dubai has not really developed. So when he heard Zhou You's opinion, Shao Zhangmen paused for a moment and asked, "What is there in Dubai that is worth learning from Singapore?" ”

"I made a few stopovers in Dubai and learned that they now have a slogan to make Dubai the Manhattan of the Middle East, and I think that's a good gimmick. The Burj Al Arab has earned them all the eyeballs, and they are ready to move all the world's bizarre designs to Dubai. Of course, Singapore doesn't need to be like that, because we are a garden country, unlike where they cost thousands of dollars to grow a tree. They can only look for novelty in architecture, but we can turn Singapore into a three-dimensional garden. ”

"Like your corporate headquarters?"

Zhou You nodded and said: "Singapore has strong economic strength, but it has no natural scenery, and if you want to create in-depth tourism, you can only arouse people's interest and make people stay from physical experience." For example, Sentosa Holiday World, which the government is now partnering with Genting, is a good idea, but there are still too few such places in Singapore. ”

Lin Wutong was also there, traveling around in front of him, and he also praised him a little bit, not expecting to gain his favor because of this, at least to accept his affection a little.

Lin Wutong on the other side heard Zhou You's words, laughed, and said: "Just relying on Sentosa Genting Tourism World, you don't have that much ability!" ”

"Of course, if Singapore wants to keep people's footsteps, in addition to this Resorts World Genting, it should develop more projects that attract people to stay, such as F1 races, such as Universal Studios experience, such as Southeast Asian tourism hubs, and even open gambling licenses and build casinos. Of course, this is just my opinion, and you don't have to take it seriously. ”

Although Zhou You said this, no one would take his words as jokes. Hearing his words, Lin Wutong and Adelson's eyes exuded a strong expectation, while the young master lowered his head and groaned. (To be continued.) )
