Chapter 94 Amusement Park: Arrival
The vehicles' interiors are usually ordered in wool cloth rather than the leather seen in many luxury cars; leather is not as quiet as cloth when sat upon.
Samuel, Hannah, Iblis, and Adele, along with Oscar and Karoline, sat in one of them. Princess took the other car along with some of her attendants. She wanted to take the exact vehicle, but It would have become very congested.
Iblis remained silent, actively stopping making eye contact with Samuel. Samuel tried to talk to her in the morning, but she brushed him off with some small talk.
" Hope she can open up to me. It is painful to look her like this." Samuel thought.
They reached their destination after an hour of driving; it was faster due to less traffic.
Oscar applied for a special VIP in advance. This VIP option needs to be reviewed but could be skipped due to their connection. VIP services targeted politicians, businessmen and celebrities, often including Hollywood stars and other special groups.
Oscar also informed Samuel about Oriental Land Company.
Samuel knew about the particular circumstances with the amusement park as the company only owned the park and leased the rights from Disney's parent company. It didn't stop them from making a considerable return, as millions of people would visit the park annually.
The company is a Japanese leisure and tourism corporation headquartered in the park. It also owns and operates the Tokyo Disney Resort. The company operates in three segments: theme parks, hotels, and other businesses.
Oriental Land pays licenses and royalties to The Walt Disney Company for the use of their intellectual properties, while Disney provides consultation and their Imagineering division to design and build Oriental Land's theme parks and attractions at the resort. The Oriental Land Company is the only Disney Resort business company in the world that has no capital relationship with Disney.
Rothschild owned substantial shares in the company, which were controlled by their subsidiaries. They had considerable investments in several other sectors of Japan, mainly high-level machinery, refining and car manufacturers.
" It is not the money you own but how to invest it further " Samuel's grandfather often said that during his teaching, and now, he could see the fruit of such an approach. It was the right way to use the money, to convert it into tangible wealth.
The family holds 15% of the shares of Disney too. Knowing that the young boss was coming, the general manager of the Tokyo branch of Disney showed up at the entrance with high-level personnel early in the morning, waiting for Samuel's presence.
Three parties were waiting for the same person.
Jenny, along with a few people from Japan branch of the family, which Fulio sent.
Katayama, the general manager of the park from Oriental Land Company. He is responsible for the day-to-day tasks of the amusement park.
Lastly, Yumiko is a high-level executive from Disney's branch in Tokyo.
It was not a rare occurrence to see so many people, but one could see their identity was not average.
After Samuel and his party arrived, all three parties greeted them with humility.
"Hello, Mr. Samuel, I am Katayama, the general manager of Tokyo Disneyland. I represent all the employees of the park and welcome you. "
" Mr. Samuel, It is nice to meet you, I am Yumiko from Disney's branch in Tokyo. We are ready to serve you. "
" Young master, Director Fulio has assigned me to tend to your needs. I am Jenny, you can ask me anything."
All three of them introduced themselves one after another. You could see the shock in their eyes, looking at Samuel. A child with brilliant expression, but their expression was respectful.
"Everyone, we are mainly here today to play, don't engage in these fictional things and I don't need everyone to follow me. Jenny would enough for now."
Although Samuel was smiling, Others had already sensed that Samuel had a hint of impatience.
" It seemed that the young boss didn't like the inspection. " they thought.
"Of course, we have arranged some of the best VIP escorts. Please take Tina with you. She will definitely help you on the trip." The manager said as he introduced a blond woman in her 20s.
" They must not know that I speak Japanese." Samuel thought.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Samuel expressed satisfaction with the group. Today, He was playing with Hannah and didn't want to mess with things. Socializing here is a waste of time and energy.
"Then we will say goodbye. I hope you have a good time today."
After finishing speaking, others decisively evacuated with their group of high-level officials. They wanted to make an impression, but they couldn't force it. They had to wait for another opportunity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Young master, I will take your group to spend a happy day today." Jenny was a little nervous today. Yesterday, the chairman called her and asked her to be in the park within 30 minutes.
Although today was her day off, Jenny did not dare to waste any time and reached the park in 20 minutes.
Then, She saw all the high levels in the park were busy in a mess, waiting for someone.
After asking a colleague, she learned that the heir to Disney's second-largest shareholder would take his friends to visit the park.
The chairman gave her one of the most critical tasks, and today she will receive VVIPs.
After receiving a promotion and rising salary, if something goes wrong, She could lose her job.
That night, She didn't sleep well at night and used 3 alarm clocks just for fear of missing time.
But in the end, the alarm clock was useless. She couldn't fall asleep till four in the morning. She simply came to the park to wait. But she didn't expect to find that most of the high levels had already arrived.
It seems that they are more nervous than her. There were two other parties, too, she had seen the park's general manager before from far, but it was her first time standing alongside him.
Jenny specifically asked for the other party's information, only to know that the other party's name was Samuel. She had heard his name, but no one knew much about him. She also learned a few things about his sister, Hannah. Their age surprised her but seeing them in person was a shock in itself.
They waited with a group of high-level officials until after 9 o'clock when the other party finally appeared.
Jenny has sworn that she has never seen such a handsome boy and his royal temperament makes him an exception in its own way.
Hannah looked cute, but she noticed several other women beside him. They were exceptional too, but one of them looked out of place.
It was the imperial princess Kako, but her information was not given to Jenny.
On the other hand, Tina knew about the princess, on top of assisting Samuel's group. She had another mission to look after the princess. President personally selected her because she had some fighting capabilities.
Others measures were put in place, too, so the burden of Tina was not significant.
However, Samuel seemed to be very difficult to approach. Although he was polite to the general manager just now and looked like an average child, but something was extraordinary about him.
Both of them were worried that they were not good at serving the other party and would not be able to do a good job. Fear of losing their job was also present.
"Okay, trouble you, Miss Jenny, Miss Tina," Samuel said to both of them, which somewhat calmed them down.
" Huh, it turns out that Samuel, unlike other big people, is very kind to a small person like me." Both of them had a similar thought.
" Everyone, please come with me. Our first stop is the Central Avenue Scenic Area."
Although Hannah didn't speak, her smile was beautiful; she had been waiting for it long. She began leading the group while holding Samuel's hand.
There were a small number of visitors as they visited on a weekday, but people were looking at Samuel's group as they passed by them.
Some of them were carrying cameras and recording equipment. One of them tried to sneak a picture, he was fascinated by the beautiful group, but before he could act, the person standing behind him stopped him.
The cameraman became confused, angry that he had missed his chance, but as soon as he turned, he caught a good look at the person who stopped him.
Just the stare of the man-made him scared; he could feel the intense pressure weighing down on him. He simply took his camera back and ran in the opposite direction, fearing for his life.
" Clear ", The man said as he weaved through the tourist maintaining his sight on the convoy.
