List of shareholders of Shanghai Disneyland
The reporter found that the main body of Shanghai Disneyland is Shanghai International Theme Park Co., Ltd., and its business scope includes the development, construction and operation of theme parks. According to the survey data, Shanghai International Theme Park Co., Ltd. is jointly developed by Shanghai Shendi Tourism and Holiday Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shendi Tourism") and Walter Disney Holdings (Shanghai) (hereinafter referred to as "Disney"), with Shendi Tourism holding 57% and Disney holding 43%. In addition, Shanghai International Theme Park Supporting Facilities Co., Ltd. also holds 57% shares of Shendi Tourism and 43% shares of Disney.
Shendi Tourism is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Shendi (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shendi Group). Official website of Shendi Group introduced that it is a new functional state-owned enterprise approved by the Shanghai Municipal Government. According to the shareholding structure, the four major shareholders of Shendi Group are Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd. (holding 45%), Jinjiang International (Group) Co., Ltd. (holding 25%), Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd. (holding 20%) and An Baili Group Co., Ltd. (holding 10%). Among the above four major shareholders, Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd., the major shareholder, is held by Shanghai Pudong New Area State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission 100%, and the other three are held by Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission 100%.
Shanghai Shendi Group owns 57% equity and 30% management right of Shanghai Disneyland, while Walter Disney owns 43% equity and the remaining 70% management right. Thanks to the participation of China capital, Shanghai Disneyland can have such a huge investment, up to 5.5 billion US dollars. In addition, due to the participation of China capital, Shanghai Disneyland has also made greater concessions in localization.
Therefore, the largest shareholder of Shanghai Disneyland is not Disney in the United States, but four companies from China. Among these four companies, Shendi Group has undoubtedly attracted much attention. Relevant persons said that although Shendi Group is a state-owned enterprise at present, it has already entered the stage of market-oriented operation, and SASAC rarely asks about related matters.
Why is Disney located in Shanghai?
1, Shanghai is the largest city in China: it is the economic, financial, trade, shipping and technological innovation center of Chinese mainland. Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the middle of Chinese mainland coastline, and more than 20 million people live in Shanghai.
Shanghai is a new tourist destination: it has profound modern urban culture and numerous historical buildings. Today, Shanghai has developed into a shining international metropolis. History and reality complement each other, and the huge number of tourists every year is the guarantee of high popularity.
3. Because Disney is located in the suburb of Pudong, the pressure of relocation is relatively small, and there is no need for reclamation. The negotiation and preparation of the whole project lasted 10 years, which can be described as "everything is ready and can be completed within three years after the start of construction".
