Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Release the file in your hand and type a line on the document opened by the laptop again. Eric inadvertently looked up outside the window and found that it was already early in the morning, because of the time difference, plus the rest of the day yesterday, Eric didn't feel sleepy all night, and the pile of information on his desk made him sleepless. Compared with the brief introduction of Alan on the Paris aircraft, this time the information is very detailed and makes Eric even more uneasy.

When Disneyland of Europe started preparations in 1985, because of the great success of Disneyland Tokyo, the new paradise was almost the object of competition for the entire Europe.

The location of Paris is also determined because the potential tourists in the two-hour drive around Paris are as high as 17 million, and the number of potential tourists who only need a two-hour flight voyage is as high as 300 million. Disney and French Government are extremely optimistic about the performance of the new paradise project. No one will consider the possibility of failure. If it is not the memory of previous life, Eric after reading these 'exciting' materials in their hands, they will feel that the success of Europe Disneyland is almost for granted .

Comparing with the success of Disneyland Tokyo, the original project planning book estimated that the overall annual profit of various projects of Europe Disneyland will be at least 600 million USD. This extremely optimistic forecast also led to the project budget continuously expanding during the seven years of construction, from the original 1 billion USD to an astonishing 5 billion USD, not to mention the theme project of the park, Disney theme hotel alone built seven.

Eric did not see the specific reasons for the failure of Europe Disneyland from these materials, but he also realized that the project cost has expanded from 1 billion USD to 5 billion, which definitely means excess resources and huge operation and maintenance expenses. Hundreds of millions of USD loans need to be repaid on schedule every year. Once the number of tourists and the average consumption amount of tourists do not reach the original estimate, it means a huge loss.

Disneyland is not only proud of Disney's, but also regarded as a symbol of United States culture, otherwise there will not be so many people of Europe culture who oppose the construction of Disneyland.

Although this project was started during the Michael Eisner period, the operation of the park failed. As a parent company, Firefly Pictures must be blamed. Although Firefly is not a listed company, Eric does not have to worry about issues like stock price decline, but this reputational blow will affect Firefly's overseas expansion. Capital is driven by profit. A project that was originally optimistic about the whole world failed. If you want to play again next time, no one will invest.

After the original Disneyland Paris, the third overseas park, Hong Kong Disneyland, was only opened to the public 20 years later, and its scale is far smaller than any other. There must be Paris Disney's influence.

The theme park is a business that is highly valued by any Hollywood big Film Studio. The profit it brings is even more than the profit of the movie on Box Office, and it can also increase the brand influence of Film Studio.

Since he realized the possibility of the failure of the new paradise, Eric had to pay attention to it. He did n’t want his influence and profits created by the movie to be swallowed by the losses of Europe Disneyland.

Copy a questionnaire form based on the analysis on the data last night to a floppy disk. After Eric got up and washed, he left the suite and went to the restaurant downstairs.

When I came to the restaurant, Eric accidentally found that the whole restaurant was empty, and only a few waiters were cleaning the tables and chairs. This discovery made Eric feel a little surprised and looked at his watch. Paris local time is already 6:15 in the morning, September is still summer, the time is not too early, and Eric also knows that there are many guests in the hotel, it is impossible for no one to eat breakfast.

A waitress with a pony tail noticed that Eric walked into the restaurant and came over to say something, but quickly recognized him.

"You ... Mr. Williams, good morning and good morning," the waitress said stutteringly. It seemed a little excited, and wanted to be close, but it seemed a little timid.

Eric smiled at the girl and picked a seat by the window. Before he said, "Can you give me a breakfast menu?"

The waitress who followed Eric to the table seemed a little embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "Sorry, Mr. Williams, breakfast is not available in the restaurant. If you want, I can help you buy a copy outside."

Eric frowned. Today, the park is about to open, and a large number of tourists have already lived in the hotel. It is reasonable to say that the hotel should be fully prepared: "Why not provide breakfast, because it is not officially opened, not prepared, or other reasons?"

Although the tone of Eric is not intense, the waitress still feels displeased by Eric. In the face of his inquiry, the waitress pinched the corner of her uniform nervously, and her small head was unable to speak. .

"consider as finished, please call Manager," Eric waved his hand, watching the waitress turn away in a panic, and could not help but touch his cheek, he should not look like a brutal big BOSS.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man hurried into the restaurant with the waitress just now.

"Hello Mr. Williams, this is Jeral Robinson."

Eric got up and shook hands with the middle-aged man, pointed to the position opposite him and asked the other to sit down, motioned for the other to wait a moment, took out a bill from the wallet and glanced at the waitress ’chest Brand: "Is Miss Sophia right, can you buy me a breakfast, whatever you want."

"Of course, of course, no problem," the waitress took the money from Eric and hurriedly left the restaurant.

After the waitress left, Eric turned his attention to the hotel Manager opposite: "Mr. Robinson, are you French?"

"Yes, Mr. Williams, I was born in Leon in eastern France, but grew up in Paris," Jeral Robinson replied politely, and then Eric only heard the other's English accent with French accent.

Eric yelled, then stared at each other's eyes and said: "I just let Sophia call you, you must know it, I want to know why?"

Jeral Robinson did n’t feel timid in the face of Eric, but the tone was a little unpleasant, saying: "Mr. Williams, you may want to ask your management team here, I do n’t know who told them that we Europe do n’t For breakfast, anyway, Terry PAR. Mr. Schneider personally decided to cancel the breakfast supply at the hotel. "

Although the controlling power of the joint venture company is in France, the management power is in Disney. Eric knows that the management team of the new paradise is all United States people. Pa Terry grams. Schneider is the Europe Disney'sCEO responsible for Disney. Yesterday Eric was still at the airport Have seen each other.

"Mr. Robinson, since this was a mistake, did no one propose it?"

"Of course," Jeral Robinson reluctantly spread his hands angrily: "We made a lot of comments, the hotel breakfast problem, the problem of not providing alcoholic beverages in the park, and parking spaces, etc., but there is no People listen to these. "

Eric heard that Jeral Robinson was extremely resentful of the Disney management team, and frowned again. After thinking about it, Eric asked again: "Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg, have you responded to him with these questions?"

Even if the original management team is blindly arrogant, Eric knows that Katzenberg is definitely a pragmatic person and will not notice these problems.

Jeral Robinson was stunned and shook his head: "No, Mr. Williams, I'm just a lobby Manager, I can't talk to Mr. Katzenberg at all."

Feeling that Jeral Robinson was somewhat disappointed, Eric realized that these French employees were estimated to have been completely disappointed with the management team. Even if they were able to contact Katzenberg, it is estimated that they no longer have expectations for the management team in Disney.

Thinking about it, Eric said to Jeral Robinson: "So, Mr. Robinson, can you write a report and enumerate the issues you know, I will live here for a few days?"

Jeral Robinson is of course aware of Eric. Since I applied for Disneyland employees, Jeral Robinson certainly wanted to do well, so I did not refuse, and I readily agreed: "Mr. Williams, I will hand it to you as soon as possible."

"Well, if I can't find me, my assistant will do, and he lives next to me."

Jeral Robinson nodded: "Mr. Alan Fisman, I know."

The waitress bought the breakfast back soon, and Jeral Robinson also got up and left happily without disturbing Eric for breakfast.

Not too long, Alan also went downstairs and came to the restaurant. Seeing the deserted situation in the restaurant, Alan also felt some surprises. At this time, Eric had already finished breakfast and was holding a copy of English newspaper in his hand. Reading carefully, Yu Guang saw Alan coming in, Eric took out the floppy disk and handed it to the other party, said: "No breakfast is served in the restaurant, you can eat something outside. In addition, this floppy disk has me yesterday A survey form you made late, you personally handed it to Phra Terry Gram.Schneider, and within a week, I want to see detailed survey results statistics of 10,000 tourists. "

Alan can hear the Eric tone is a bit blunt. Although the relationship between the two is Boss and the employees, but they have been together for so long, they have also cultivated a friendship. Therefore, Alan has no scruples. Asked his curiosity: "Eric, what happened?"

Eric shook his head: "It's still unclear, but the problem should be serious. You can just let Par Terry grams. Schneider follow suit."

"Then I will do it," Alan nodded, turned around and left the restaurant without asking more. (To be continued.)
