Wanda se va de Madrid a París para crear 14.000 puestos de trabajo fijos | CapitalMadrid
El grupo chino Dalian Wanda anunció a primeros de febrero que ponía en venta el Edificio España en Madrid, cansado de tantas zancadillas y obstáculos. Y este fin de semana ha lanzado oficialmente un ambicioso proyecto en París: la construcción de un parque temático llamado EuropaCity para competir con Disneyland y crear 20.000 puestos de trabajo temporales y luego 14.000 fijos. La declaración de la empresa estima la inversión en unos 3.000 millones de euros.
Wang Jianlin, pre*si*dente de Wand y el pri*mero o se*gundo hombre más rico de China, dice en el co*mu*ni*cado que ‘desde hace un tiempo que*ríamos im*plan*tarnos en Francia, y EuropaCity nos per*mite por fin lo*grar ese ob*je*ti*vo’. Un plan que se hará en ‘joint ven*ture’ con Inmochan, de la ca*dena de su*per*mer*cados Auchan, y que in*cluirá ho*te*les, cen*tros co*mer*cia*les, res*tau*rantes y parque de atrac*cio*nes.
Según la úl*tima ac*tua*li*za*ción de la Lista Bloomberg de Multimillonarios, Wang es ahora mismo la for*tuna nú*mero 22 del mundo, con 26.700 mi*llones de dó*la*res, cien mi*llones menos que Jack Ma, creador de Alibaba. Pero de acuerdo con la Lista Forbes, Wang Jianlin fi*gura en el puesto 29 del mundo, con 24.200 mi*llo*nes, cuatro puestos por de*lante de Jack Ma.
EuropaCity será ‘el nuevo des*tino de ocio del Gran París’, según re*fleja la pá*gina web del pro*yecto. Ocupará 80 hec*tá*reas a diez ki*ló*me*tros al nor*deste de la ca*pital fran*cesa y será la mayor in*ver*sión del Grupo Wang en Europa hasta la fe*cha. Eso es lo que dice el co*mu*ni*cado, que no hace men*ción al*guna a los pro*yectos que ha de*jado atrás en Madrid, cuya in*ver*sión total es*taba ci*frada en más de 4.000 mi*llones de eu*ros.
No es que lo de Madrid haya que*dado muerto o en el ol*vido. El Edificio España aún no se ha ven*dido: está en manos de la con*sul*tora JLL para que busque un com*pra*dor, una vez que no se pudo llegar a un acuerdo con el Ayuntamiento para de*mo*lerlo (excepto la fa*chada) y le*vantar un com*plejo con vi*vien*das, hotel y centro co*mer*cial. Total, unos 700 mi*llones ha hasta 6.000 puestos de tra*bajo, según al*gunas pre*vi*sio*nes.
Además, Wanda tiene o tenía en car*tera pro*yectos para el es*tadio Calderón y para los so*lares de Campamento donde es*taban los cuar*teles de Defensa. Allí pre*tendía le*vantar hasta 15.000 vi*vien*das, aparte de cen*tros de ocio y ca*si*nos. Son 113 hec*tá*reas edi*fi*ca*bles.
Todo ello quedó en el limbo, apar*cado tras el anuncio de que se es*taba ‘reconsiderando’ el pro*yecto del Edificio España, que ha pa*sado un via*crucis de in*for*mes, exi*gen*cias y tro*pe*zo*nes. Hasta el punto llegó el des*en*cuentro con los téc*nicos y ges*tores del Ayuntamiento de Manuela Carmena que llegó a pu*bli*carse que Wang Jianlin se había que*jado de que lo es*taban tra*tando ‘como un pe*rro’. La em*presa negó que el mag*nate hu*biera dicho tal cosa, pero el caso es que el centro de aten*ción ha pa*sado ahora de Madrid a París.
Y a más si*tios. En Francia y otros países Dalian Wanda to*davía no lo ha con*fir*mado, pero The Wall Street Journal ha avan*zado esta misma se*mana que Wang Jianlin ha puesto el punto de mira en la em*presa que or*ga*niza el Tour y en otras grandes in*ver*siones en Francia. Hace un mes compró por 3.500 mi*llones de dó*lares la fa*mosos es*tu*dios Legendary Entertainment, los de Godzilla, Batman y Parque Jurásico. Fue su se*gunda in*cur*sión en Hollywood, tras hacer en 2012 con la ca*dena de cines AMC, más de 2.500 lo*ca*les. Y tam*bién tiene en la lista pen*diente que*darse con una gran pro*duc*tora.
Otras in*cur*siones de Wang Jianlin en Europa: la fa*bri*cante bri*tá*nica de yates Sunseeker International; la suiza World Triathlon, or*ga*ni*za*dora de los cam*peo*natos en esa dis*ci*plina; la tam*bién suiza Infront Sports & Media, es*pe*cia*li*zada en mar*ke*ting de*por*tivo; y na*tu*ral*mente, un 20% en el Atlético de Madrid.
Todas estas in*ver*siones son to*davía el cho*co*late del loro de Dalian Wanda, que tiene su gran mer*cado en China, con in*mo*bi*lia*ria, cines y cen*tros co*mer*cia*les. Pero sus planes de cre*ci*miento pasan por ex*ten*derse a todo el mundo. En con*creto, Wang Jianlin tiene en su agenda diez ciu*dades se*lec*cio*nadas para ins*ta*larse y desa*rro*llar pro*yec*tos. Una era París, y otras Londres, Nueva York y Sidney. Madrid tam*bién está (o es*taba) en la lista.
China
China’s Richest Man Goes Shopping in Paris
The conglomerate run by China’s richest man, Wang Jianlin, is set to invest billions of dollars in a shopping development outside Paris, according to a Bloomberg report today.
The investment would cement Wang’s status as a global investor, ***owing his Dalian Wanda Group’s purchase of a controlling stake in Hollywood’s Legendary Pictures earlier this year and the acquisition of AMC cinemas in the U.S. and a British yacht maker over the last few years.
Wang teased an audience at Oxford University this week, saying his company would announce a massive deal on Friday. It appears insiders have scooped Wanda on the news. Wang’s office didn’t respond to a Fortune request for comment on the investment.
Wanda’s strategy has shifted remarkably quickly for a company big enough to qualify soon for the Global Fortune 500 list. Wanda rose to prominence on the strength of its Wanda Plazas in China, glittering bunches of apartments, hotels, and department stores next to movie chains and Las Vegas-style restaurants. By the end of 2014, the Wanda Malls division posted profits of 25 billion yuan (around $4 billion) and counted 99 plazas. Wang set a target to open 17 more in 2015 and increase profits to 29 billion yuan ($4.75 billion). In 2007 Wang was China’s 147th richest man; in 2015 he moved to the top of the list.
It was during 2015 that Wanda abruptly switched course. It closed about 10 malls in the first half of the year. In July, Wang told state-run Xinhua News four new directions Wanda was heading in for the next decade. Wanda would change completely into a services company, support film, sport and tourism, open its own bank and insurance operations, as well as build an e-commerce operation.
There’s no comparable real estate developer in the U.S. that so quickly abandoned its core business. By the end of 2015, Wanda had closed 35 malls, a third of its lot, according to estimates by Insite Research. Wanda Group says overall sales rose 19% in 2015 to 290 billion yuan ($45 billion) and may decline by double-digits this year as its property business continues to falter.
Wang’s ties to the government have come into question before. Last year the New York Times published an investigation finding Wang’s company, then private, extending shares to relatives of China’s leaders, which was of particular interest because the land in China is government-owned, and companies like Wang’s must sign long-term leases. Wang’s response is that his strategy has been to “make friends with the governments, but stay away from politics.”
Those ties may recede to the background as Wanda keeps pumping billions into businesses and projects in the West. In France, the project is reportedly a massive theme park and shopping area known as Europa City, set to begin construction in three years, and a return to Wanda’s real estate core.
China
Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin’s Dalian Wanda Group Co. is planning to invest billions of euros in a retail and leisure development outside of Paris, according to two people familiar with the matter.
An announcement may come as soon as Friday, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the project is confidential. Wang said at the University of Oxford on Tuesday that Wanda would announce a "major deal" this week, though he didn’t provide details. The project, known as EuropaCity, will be built in Gonesse, a town 16 kilometers northeast of Paris, between Le Bourget and Charles de Gaulle airports, according to a website for the property.
For Wanda, which runs theme parks across China, movie theater chains in the U.S. and a soccer club in Spain, the move represents a renewed overseas push, underscoring Wang’s increasingly global ambitions. The conglomerate agreed in January to buy "Godzilla"-producer Legendary Entertainment for $3.5 billion, paving the way for the tycoon to become the first Chinese person to control a Hollywood film company.
Auchan Project
Construction on EuropaCity is slated to begin in 2019, with the project opening in 2024, according to the website. The development, being built by property company Immochan, will include a theme park, shopping center, water and snow parks, sports fields, performance spaces and hotels, according to the site. Immochan is the development arm of Groupe Auchan, a family-owned supermarket operator. A spokesman for Immochan declined to comment.
With theme parks, Wang has set his sights on beating Walt Disney Co. In January, he told executives that visitor arrivals and revenue at Wanda’s tourism projects in Wuxi and Guangzhou will beat those of Disneyland in Shanghai and Hong Kong, respectively, according to a tras*cript of the speech posted on the company’s website.
The move may also add to challenges facing the Disneyland Paris amusement park, which needed a bailout in 2014 to upgrade its facilities and reverse a slump in attendance.
Wang, who vies with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s Jack Ma as China’s richest man, has had a busy year. Besides the Legendary deal, Wanda announced a $2.3 billion investment in three hospitals, the formation of a financial group and the signing a $10 billion development deal in India. In addition, Wanda has said it’s planning five major acquisitions in 2016 -- three of them overseas.
European Investments
Separately, the group’s Wanda Cinema Line Co. theater-chain unit was halted from trading in Shenzhen on Wednesday pending the announcement of an acquisition and the Wall Street Journal reported that the group is seeking to raise $1.5 billion from domestic Chinese investors for its closely held film-making Wanda Pictures subsidiary.
While Wang’s investments in Europe include the Club Atletico de Madrid soccer team and Swiss marketing firm Infront Sports & Media AG, Wanda’s culture-and-entertainment business has a relatively smaller presence in the region than in China.
Wanda is seeking to acquisitions to bolster growth as the group braces for falling sales from its main property business. That’s prompted Wang, estimated by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index to have a fortune of $27.2 billion, to increasingly look toward expanding his entertainment business.
Wang’s film, tourism and sports operations all fall under Wanda’s fast-growing Cultural Industry Group, which saw revenue climb 46 percent last year and is forecast to climb 30 percent in 2016. By comparison, Wanda Group estimates overall sales rose 19 percent in 2015 and will probably decline 12 percent this year because of the slump in its property business.
