Chapter 784: Disney Under Pressure: Qingyao Group’s Big Move
"Qingyao Paradise is open for trial operation, aiming for Disneyland..."
"Qingyao Paradise's price list has been exposed, putting Disney on the spot..."
"Qingyao Paradise opened for trial operation on April Fool's Day. Whether it's a conscientious paradise or not depends on Qingyao Group..."
"The prices are way higher than Disney's. Compared to Qingyao Paradise, you can see how shameless Disney is..."
"Qingyao Paradise's trial opening on April Fool's Day sold out in seconds..."
After the news broke, all kinds of information on the Internet exploded.
Not only in the country, but also many foreign media are reporting on this matter.
Especially after watching the promotional video of Qingyao Paradise, they found that the amusement facilities in Qingyao Paradise are even more fun than those in Disney. After all, in terms of IP capabilities, Qingyao Paradise is not weak now.
The various classic IPs are all very familiar, and when comparing the price list, many foreign netizens also exclaimed that it is too conscientious. It is much more conscientious than Disney.
The news of Qingyao Amusement Park's trial operation has gained popularity, but at the same time, Disney has suffered a severe blow.
Especially after the price list of Qingyao Paradise was announced, Disney's stock price plummeted, dropping 4.2% on the same day. Qingyao Paradise was like a sharp sword piercing directly into Disney's chest.
You should know that Disneyland is Disney’s most profitable business. With so many Disneyland parks around the world, they bring huge profits to Disney every year.
Other giants have always wanted to challenge Disneyland, but so far no company has been able to succeed.
Now, their biggest challenger has arrived.
Qingyao Group has caused Disney a lot of trouble in recent years. In the animation industry, the film industry, and the IP industry, Disney has been chased by Qingyao Group.
Now that Qingyao Amusement Park has started trial operation, it seems like it is going to kill Disney.
After the price list was announced, Disney held an emergency meeting.
They need to explore countermeasures and see whether they need to adjust prices to cope with the impact of Qingyao Paradise.
"We must make corresponding adjustments to our prices in the Chinese market, otherwise we won't be able to cope with the impact of Qingyao Paradise. Qingyao Paradise is now very wealthy, especially Su Yang, who has a lot of cash. Qingyao Paradise will definitely replicate theme parks around the world next, so we must prepare early..."
At Disney's headquarters, a senior executive said seriously.
"No, no, no, Jason, we can't just adjust the price like this. Our business hasn't been affected yet, and we can't give up our profits. The Chinese market is huge, and Qingyao Paradise may not affect us, let alone affect our global business..."
Another senior executive objected, saying it was too early to adjust the price.
After all, the business has not been affected at present. It would be foolish not to make money.
Qingyao Paradise is just an amusement park, and in his opinion, it has little impact.
Most people also think so. They think that although Qingyao Amusement Park is in trial operation, the impact is not too great.
The impact of price adjustment now is very large. Adjusting the price means giving in, which will deal a serious blow to the confidence of shareholders.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, but the final decision was to not make any conditions for the time being and to observe quietly to see what impact Disneyland would have after Qingyao Park opened.
If the impact is minor, there is no need to pay attention to it. After all, the target audiences of the two parks are different.
Disney takes the high-end route, while Qingyao Paradise takes the popular route.
In China, there are still many people who worship foreign things and think that the moon is rounder in foreign countries than in China.
In addition to the brand that Disneyland has accumulated over the years, many people go to Disneyland not to have fun, but to take pictures and show off that they have been to Disneyland.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, April 1st finally arrived.
The highly anticipated Qingyao Amusement Park is finally about to start its trial operation.
"Hi, everyone, I'm Xu Lu..."
Xu Lu is a famous reporter on the TV station, and today the station has a special task, which is to experience Qingyao Paradise.
The opening of Qingyao Amusement Park is actually something worth celebrating from a national perspective.
The cultural industry is very important to a country. In the past, when people mentioned theme parks, they thought of Disney.
This has invisibly caused children to be invaded by culture, but things are different now.
With the arrival of Qingyao Paradise, China now has its own relatively competitive cultural theme park.
So today the station teamed up with Xinghai Video to open a live broadcast room on Xinghai Video, which also attracted a lot of viewers. Xu Lu took a flight from Yanjing at around 6 o'clock in the morning and arrived at Zhucheng Airport at around 9 o'clock.
The live broadcast also started from Zhucheng Airport.
"It's 9:18 AM on April 1st, and I've already arrived at Zhucheng Airport. Now I'm going to Qingyao Paradise. It's actually very convenient to get there. Qingyao Group has built a dedicated SkyRail line from the airport to Qingyao Paradise..."
Xu Lu went directly from the airport to the SkyRail express line without leaving the terminal, just taking the elevator.
A dedicated cloud rail line from the airport to Qingyao Amusement Park, which was invested and built by Qingyao Group, is 29.4 kilometers long.
The SkyRail uses BYT's technology. The new generation of SkyRail technology can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and compared with the subway, the investment cost is very small, only one-fifth of the traditional subway.
The new generation of SkyRail costs only 130 million yuan per kilometer, so Qingyao Group built two SkyRail lines without hesitation.
One starts from the airport and the other starts from the high-speed rail station. The total length of the two cloud rails is only 73 kilometers, and the total construction cost is about 10 billion yuan.
Although the investment is not small, it greatly facilitates the route for tourists to visit the park.
The fares for these two special lines are also very cheap, from the airport to Qingyao Paradise, it only costs two yuan. And those with senior citizen cards, military cards, etc. can also ride for free.
"I'm on the SkyRail right now. It's similar to the subway, and this SkyRail is also our own technology. It's the latest SkyRail technology from the BYD Group..."
Xu Lu popularized some knowledge about Cloud Rail on the platform, and many viewers in the live broadcast room also became lively.
"Handsome, Biati is also the pride of our nation..."
"Our pride is growing..."
"This is so convenient. Qingyao Group is really generous..."
“There’s also one at the high-speed rail station, very convenient…”
"My ticket for the 6th is for the high-speed train..."
"Wow, I didn't get a ticket. Damn, let's see if I can get one during the May Day holiday..."
"This is so convenient! Even more convenient than going to Disneyland..."
"Disney is shit. I went last year and it was such a rip-off..."
The live broadcast room became lively. As the live broadcast continued, more than 20 minutes later, the cloud rail arrived directly at Qingyao Paradise Station, and many viewers became excited.
