上海迪士尼開業時間延至年

Walt Disney Co DIS 2.36% is to put off the opening of its Disneyland Shanghai theme park to next year, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing people close to the project.

《華爾街日報》週二引述消息人士報道稱，迪士尼公司準備將上海迪士尼主題公園的開園時間推遲到明年。

The WSJ said chief executive Bob Iger is likely to give new guidance about the timetable for opening the park during a conference call Tuesday to discuss the group’s fourth-quarter earnings.

當天，迪士尼舉行第四財季的盈收電話會議，《華爾街日報》稱，CEO鮑勃o艾格在本次會議上可能會對開園時間表給出新的指導意見。

The delay is the latest in a long line of complications that have dogged the project over the last decade. Iger had said 10 months ago that the park would open in 2015, but the WSJ said an opening in the winter months at the end of the year would have less impact than one in the spring.

過去十年來，圍繞這個項目的紛擾不斷，這次推遲開園只是最新的一樁而已。艾格10個月前曾表示公園將在2015年開園，但《華爾街日報》稱，在歲末冬季開園可比不上在春季開園的影響大。

The WSJ said that the local authorities had become cautious about events likely to draw large crowds in the aftermath of a fatal stampede that killed 36 revellers on New Year’s Eve.

據其報道，自從2015年外灘跨年夜導致36人死亡的踩踏事故發生後，上海市政府已對任何可能帶來超大人流的活動都格外警惕。

Disney is only a minority shareholder in the project with 43%. The remaining 57% is held by Shanghai Shendi, a consortium of businesses owned by the Shanghai government. As a result, Shanghai Shendi has a large degree of control.

迪士尼公司在上海主題公園項目佔股43%，算是小股東。另外57%的股份爲上海申迪集團持有，這是一家上海市政府所屬的國資機構。因此，上海申迪對樂園擁有更大控制權。去年10月，艾格與迪士尼公司的聘用合同延長了兩年——過去三年來，這家公司股價已經翻了三倍——這意味着，上海主題公園開園時，艾格很有可能仍掌管着迪士尼。

The extension of Iger’s contract by two years in October–after a tripling of Disney’s share price in the previous three years–means that Iger is still likely to be in charge of the company when the park opens.

在艾格的任期內，令人失望的敗筆很少，但海外主題公園就是其中之一。去年10月，巴黎迪士尼樂園的運營方歐洲迪士尼公司在獲得4.92億歐元注資後，才逃離了破產厄運。（財富中文網）
