Chapter 503 Florida's Support

"Nothing's surprising, Titanic caused such a huge sensation!"

Aaron Anderson, standing to the side, was not surprised at all; Forrest Gump a few years ago had also caused a sensation.
However, the sensation caused by "Forrest Gump" cannot be compared with that of "Titanic". "Forrest Gump" swept the Oscars back then, while "Titanic" has won many awards, but it has not won any major acting awards.

The Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards do not go to "Titanic"!
"Hmm, aren't you planning to go back to China?"

Wang Zhuxian put down the newspaper and sat directly in Aaron's lap.

"I need to go to Asia; there are still a lot of things to take care of in South Korea."

Aaron wouldn't have returned so quickly if he hadn't suddenly received news of the Clinton sex scandal.

After all, with 3 trillion won left there, and countless companies going bankrupt in South Korea, something has to be done!
Although Edgar Irving's team was helping out, there were some things that Aaron had to decide for himself.

"Then, do you want me to come and keep you company?"

Wang Zhuxian kissed the man on the cheek.

Aaron smiled, gently stroking her breasts, feeling their softness. "You came here on vacation, so why don't you rest for a while first?"

"Things must be pretty tough for them back in Hong Kong right now."

“Hmm,” Wang Zhuxian had just arrived in Vancouver herself, so there was no rush.

Then, he gave her a sweet kiss!
Since late October last year, international speculators, led by Wall Street hedge funds, have never stopped attacking Hong Kong's foreign exchange market, stock market, and futures market!

It can be said that the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia market, except for mainland China and Taipei, is now in a state of panic.
This storm has already impacted global trade, and the EU is accelerating the rollout of the euro; the formal establishment of the eurozone is not far off...

Before heading to Asia, Aaron had an important event to attend, so after leaving Vancouver, he went directly to Orlando, Florida.
The Islands of Adventure theme park inside Universal Studios Orlando Resort has officially opened!
James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey and other Hollywood filmmakers were specially invited to attend the opening ceremony.

The Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, which also includes the acquired Orlando Wetlands Waterpark, adds to the appeal of the Universal Studios Resort!
“Scream House, Apollo 13 Experience,” Aaron said, looking at the revenue figures for each attraction in the Universal Orlando Studios office.
We still need to keep updating the facilities.

Such large-scale theme park resorts have high investment and maintenance costs, and require constant facility upgrades.

Fortunately, the Dawn series of IPs develops rapidly, and it's definitely not something that just anyone can handle!
However, Universal Studios' revenue is indeed impressive, with substantial profits from ticket sales, food and accommodation, and the licensing market for souvenirs and toys.

A short while later, Tom Williams, president of Universal Studios Theme Parks and Resorts, entered Aaron's office.

"Yesterday, Adventure Island Park opened, and the entire area received 38000 visitors!"

Tom Williams looked excited; this was a good sign.

Aaron waved his hand, "A large crowd on opening day is nothing special; we'll see how things go from here on out."

"Universal Studios Orlando needs to attract at least 1000 million visitors annually!"

Walt Disney World in Orlando attracts over 3000 million visitors annually, a number that Universal Studios can't match, as Walt Disney World is currently the hottest and largest theme park.

Tom Williams nodded. "Based on current projections, we should be able to achieve that. This year, we will be developing the Men in Black alien project and will continue to add and upgrade the attractions!"

Look at the Jurassic Park and WaterWorld projects from before; they were popular attractions at Universal Studios.

"For Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, we need to arrange training for staff in advance, and ideally, bring a group of local staff to the US for internships six months ahead of time." "All staff members within the park must possess professional skills!"

Management personnel, equipment maintenance personnel, performers, service personnel, etc., these are all places that directly reflect the park's capabilities;

However, Japan already has Tokyo Disneyland, so there should be no shortage of such park staff.

"Universal Studios Japan in Osaka is our first overseas movie-themed park, and we have always attached great importance to it!"

Tom Williams explained that, after all, there are now four Disney parks worldwide;

Universal Studios is building its third location, but there's still a gap to bridge.

Aaron knew that Tom Williams also had his eye on the European market, but just look at the Euro Disneyland in Paris;

The old Europeans don't value the culture of the New World at all, so it's too difficult for Universal Studios to enter Europe!
Only after the Harry Potter series of novels becomes a hit and is made into movies will it be worthwhile to build a Universal Studios Harry Potter theme park in the UK.

At the end of March, Aaron arrived in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, a small city in northern Florida!
Jeb Bush, the younger brother of George W. Bush, is running for governor of Florida again this year.

Aaron made a point of meeting with Jeb Bush.

"The current governor, Lawton Chilis, has been diagnosed with cancer, and his health condition no longer supports him in continuing to serve as governor."

"Therefore, Lawton Chilis will definitely step down this year, and the Democrats are now supporting Lieutenant Governor Buddy McKay!"

Jeb Bush lost to Lawton Chilis in the election four years ago, and this year he is fully prepared.

Aaron smiled. "It seems Mr. Bush is very confident!"

Jeb Bush shook his head. "Nobody knows how the election will go. I did my best, and I also want to thank Aaron for your financial support."

Aaron took a sip of his drink. "My partnership with the Bush family in Texas is going very well, and Florida is also an important market for us."

"The development of Universal Orlando Resort also relies on government support, and this time, we will fully support you!"

Disneyland has too much of an advantage in Florida, so Aaron can only try his best to narrow the gap between Universal Studios and Disneyland.

It is believed that Jeb Bush, after being elected governor of Florida, will certainly provide the necessary support for the development of Universal Studios Orlando.

"Thank you so much, Aaron!"

Jeb Bush stood up, patted Aaron on the shoulder, and said, "Well, it's a good day, I think we should go out for a drink to celebrate."

"I'm also going back to Jacksonville, then we can have a good talk."

Aaron nodded and smiled, "It's time to celebrate!"

Furthermore, Aaron is also planning a date with sexy actress Charlize Theron in Miami Beach...
