Under the collaboration framework, by leveraging the powerful business presence, reputation and network built by both parties in the international market, a Joint Venture will be set up by Black Spade and Mr. Yeung with an aim to discover business opportunities with great potential worldwide via the operation of a host of high-end lifestyle and entertainment attractions such as nightclubs, beach clubs, bars, restaurants and live performances. The Joint Venture targets to launch its first project in Macau, followed by expansion into major cities in Asia and different parts of the world, offering a robust mix of brand-new lifestyle and entertainment experiences, including day life, nightlife, dining and captivating, immersive theatrical performances.
Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade, said, “A Joint Venture between Black Spade and Mr. Yeung is definitely a breakthrough cooperation in the entertainment industry. Mr. Yeung is considered the iconic Hong Kong nightlife legend, he and his team enjoy great fame among celebrities and influencers around the world. The iconic dragon-i, together with the other nightlife and F&B businesses that Mr. Yeung operates, have garnered international reputation and recognition for their creativity. It will be exciting to see the Joint Venture set the gold standard for Entertainment 3.0.”
Mr. Gilbert Yeung, Founder of dragon-i, said, “We are honoured to partner with Black Spade to revolutionise the entertainment industry. I am convinced that the Joint Venture will benefit greatly from the business perceptiveness of the Black Spade team, as well as their stellar track record in the international capital market. Macau is an entertainment hub with endless potential and also an ideal destination of choice for the Joint Venture’s first project. The Las Vegas Strip generates 40% of its total revenue from gaming and another 60% from non-gaming, it implies a huge growth potential for the non-gaming sector in Macau. The Joint Venture’s ambition is to develop Entertainment 3.0. By drawing inspiration from around the world by being on the ground and immersing ourselves in new experiences, we aim to combine AR/AI/CGI with offline leisure offerings and introduce an array of entertainment products, which ultimately take the Experience Luxury Economy to a new level while attracting even more guests from mainland China, Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. We have full confidence in the prospects of this cooperation and the growth upside that it brings about.”
